WOMEN'S COUNCIL
LOSES CHANCE TO
DEFEAT TWO BILLS
Activities of , Certain Members in
Safem Lead j tor Disagreement
W. C. T. U. Vote Unfavorable.
The fact that the legislative coun
cil, composed of representatives of
six of the leading women's organi
zations ht the state, failed to vote
In protest against the passage of
house bills 22 and 23, providing for
the removal from. Portland, to Salem
of the child welfare and industrial
welfare commissions, where they
would be operated in conjunction
witU .the' state labor, bureau, has pre-cipitated-charges
of misrepresenta
tion on the part of members of the
council.
The council Is composed of representa
tives of six of th;e leading women's or
ganizations, as follows: Oregon Feder
ation of Women's Clubs, Mrs. Alexan
der Thompson ; Oregon Parent-Teacher
association. Mrs. C. W. Hayhurst ; Ore
gon W. C. T. V., Mrs. Mary MalletU
Oregron League of Women Voters, Mrs.
farah Kvans ; Consumers' league. Mrs.
Millie Trumbull; Association of College
Alumnae, Mrs. . L. T. Merwin.
COUNCIL MKETS . .
A meeting of tie council was held
Tuesday to vote upon the measures
which the council is interested in. The
representatives of the W. C. T. U. and
the collegiate alumnae bad not been In
structed how to vote by their organiza
tions, so the meeting was adjourned to
meet Thursday.
At the Thursday session Mrs. Thomp
son said that she had grope to Salem
Wednesday on- other matters and that
evening, while dining at the- Marion
hotel in company with Mrs. R. E. Boh
durant and Clarence H. Gilbert, Mrs.
Evans and Mrs. C. B. Simmons entered
the dining room and that later Mrs.
Evans stopped at her table and- said
the committee to which the above men
tioned bills had been referred was meet
ing that evening and that she would
like Mrs. Thompson to go before it with
her. . ' '
PROTEST MADE r
Mrs. Thompson protested that neither
had a right to go before the committee
'as representatives ' of the legislative
council, as that body had not yet acted,
whereupon Mrs. Evans is said to have
replied that Mrs. Trumbull had tele
phoned the two organizations and se
cured their vote, which was favorable.
All bills taken before the council must
have .m the unanimous sanction of that
body to carry its indorsement. Mrs.
Thompson declared that such action
would not be regular, as a vote must
be taken in executive session to be le.gal.
Asked for a statement this morning
on the matter, Mrs. Evans replied : "The
only statement I have to make is that
Mrs. Thompson was not at the meeting
of the committee before which I ap
peared." MBS. HAYHTjRSTV SOttET
" Mrs. Thompson's ' protest at the coun
cil meeting Thursday over such alleged
irregularity received the! verbal sanc
tion of Mrs. C. W. Hayhurst, who said
that not only had the council not passed
upon the bills, but that it was generally
understood Mrs. Thompson was to do
the lobbying for them at Salem, if fa
vorable action was taken.
'The affair is most unfortunate, said
Mrs. Hayhurst. VI am sorry that this
thing has happened, for the legislative
council has a big work to do."
When the vote was taken at the meet
ing Thursday, the W. C. T. U. failed to
vote with the other organizations, hence
the council cannot ask for the defeat of
house bills 22 and 23. The enactment
of " the bills would, it is said, deprive
Mrs. Trumbull, who is secretary of both
commissions, of her position.

The Dalies, Or., Jan. 22. The
framework upon which a Btate-wide
organization of wheat ranchers is to
be constructed was perfected here
late Saturday with formation of the
Oregon Grain Growers' association.
More than 200 ranchers and their
wives attended the meeting, which was
presided over by Hector MacPherson,
head of thee marketing , department of
Oregon agricultural college.
Wasco county was generously repre
sented, but there were numbers from
Sherman, Morrow, Gilliam, Umatilla and
Wallowa counties, with a sprinkling
from the Willamette valley.
SENTIMENT rSASIMOrS
Sentiment of the meeting was unani
mous for formation of the association,
as the ranchers feel, it was said by the
speakers, that only by close cooperation
can grain growers secure protection for
themselves in marketing their products
and at the same time assure price pro
tection to the consumers. The associ-
ation is being framed along lines of
organizations already formed in Wash
ington and Idaho.
This is, MacPherson said, the greatest
cooperative movement1 ever started
among farmers of Oregon. Those at
tending this meeting are to go home
and complete county organizations,
which will sign up the contract binding
them to work with the state association.
A central sales arrangement will be
made and grain 'will be sold by the
association directly to the consuming
mills, eliminating the grain dealers, it
is planned. The associations of the

TO E2D SPECULATION
As outlined at the afternoon's meet
ing, the association Is designed to elim
inate speculation in wheat, to finance
grain growers who may need money be
fore their crops are mature and to
facilitate orderly and economic market
ing and handling the grain. i
One of the forms of undue profit com
plained about by the wheat ranchers Is
that Realized by the dealers from blend
ing ef wheats. .
During the afternoon numerous tele
grams were sent to Senator Capper Of
Kansas, commending his bill to pro
hibit grain speculation. Similar tele
grams were sent to Salem, protesting
against the proposed bill ordering as
sessors to count stock owned by
ranchers for three years back. j
MJiE DISTHICTS P LASS ED j
The proposed association will be mod
eled after those now in existence In
California, Idaho and Washington. It
will consist of nine districts, each rep
resenting production of from 1,500,000
to 5,000,000 bushels of wheat. Each dis
trict will be entitled to one representa
tive, with an aditional member for each
500,000 bushels of wheat produced. The
total representation, however, is pot to
exceed 80 members. !
Thefee men will elect eight directors
and one more, to represent the psoijile
of the state, will be named by the presi
dent of the Oregon Agricultural college.
The directors will appoint a manager, j '
PEICALTY PEOVIDED
. It is proposed to sign members up for
six year contracts, binding them to sell
all their wheat through the association.
A penalty of 25 cents a bushel wltl be
imposed on members who sell other than
through the association. This will pre
vent undermining on the part of grain
dealers who. it is believed, will seek to
overthrow the association by bidding
higher for the wheat than the associa
tion may be able to secure. :
The contracts are eo rigid as to enable
the association to sue members violating
the agreement. The plan was first
brought up at the meeting of farmers
unions and granges at Dallas last
October.
EAST SIDE CLUB
URGES PROJECT
Sends Letter to Each Member of
Legislature Explaining View
On Harbor Improvement. ,
The East Side Business Men's club
has sent to each member of the leg
islature a letter asking support of
the North Portland harbor improve
ment project. The letter, signed by
Wilson Benefiel, president, and I
M. Lepper. secretary of the club, de
mands that the state's lawmakers
Issue a mandate compelling the port
commission to make the Improve
ment. The statement of the East Side Busi
ness Men's club reads :
About three years ago the port of Port
land went on record and pledged itself
to dredge .out North Portland harbor to
a 25-foot channel, and maintain it ; but
it has made no move to do it. The time
has come when the deepening of North
Portland harbor should become a fixed
policy, which cannot be side-stepped by
the port of Portland body, or its manage
ment. The growing industries in this district,
like the Aladdin company. Monarch! and
other lumber Industries, and the packing
plants and others comprising some 28
important industries, are preparing for
deep sea shipments, and need this deep
water to enable loading direct from
plants to ships. This deepening of North
Portland harbor will help' the farmers
of the entire state of Oregon, by enab
ling cattle and dressed meats, and like
products to be loaded direct from killing
and cold storage right Into the deep sea
vessels for shipment, and has become al
most imperative if the state is to grow
as It should.
One other very important matter to
the entire state, and particularly to the
farmers as well as the city of Portland,
is that the consolidation of the port of
Portland and docks commission must nol
allow the port to lease the municipal
docks, elevators and shipping facilities
to nrivate individuals, concerns or cor
porations. Because, if such is allowed,
the big grain men would gladly lease
all public elevators and docks and ship
ping facilities to get control. Then the
farmers and up-state, shippers of grains
would be at their mercy, and both the
farmers and the city of Portland would
thereby have lost all that we have gained
in recent years by healthful, competitive,
public docks and grain elevator develop
ment Do not allow it, we beg of you.
Make mandatory the North Portland
harbor ..development, and eliminate the
power of the port to lease to big shippers
exclusive control of public docks and
elevators, for the great good of Port
land and Oregon.
