Bishop Leete.
Bishop Charles B. Mitchell of St Paul
presided this morning: and Bishop E. L.
Waldorf of Wichita, Kan., In the after
noon, when the much debated question
of the proper course of study for young
preachers was discussed.
SCHOOLBOYS SOUGHT -.Ij-
High school boys are to be inlvted to
conferences of the Methodist chnrch in
an effort to induce them to : hear the
call to the ministry. The shortage Of
pastors has become so acute that 'the
board' of - bishops last year delegated a
bishop to investigate. .
The report of this bishop, - Theodore
Henderson of Detroit, Mich., was being
widely discussed today, following his
remarks v at Thursday's session. He
cited1 the small salaries matched against
the high . cost of living as the ; chief
reason that young men seek ; employ
ment outside the . pulpit.
Bishop Henderson was appointed at
the last meeting of the board to visit
the conferences of the various bishops
and find men for the ministry. He re
ported the problems he met
A ' committee ' of seven bishops was
appointed to bring in a report on the
accomplishments of the centenary move
ment before the session adjourns. .
The First Methodist church was
crowded Thursday night and an over
flow meeting was held at the White
Temple, the occasion being the formal
reception to the board of bishops. Dr.
W. W. Toungson, superintendent f the
Portland district presided.
GOYEBXOB HAS PBAISE ;
Governor Ben W. Olcott welcomed the
heads of Methodism to the state, paying
high tribute to the work of the pioneer
Methodist preachers and especially to
Jason Lee. He said the "rigorous teach
ing of children in Methodist families
has paid large dividends." He referred
to Willamette university as the "cradle
of learning in the Northwest," and in
vited the bishops to visit Salem and view
the many landmarks which -Methodism
has in and about the capital. r
Speaking from the standpoint of a
layman. Mayor Baker requested the
board to give careful consideration to
the juvenile problem. He recited several
instances where boys of 11 to 17 years
of age had been caught robbing. He
also hinted that good church members
could not "go to Church on Sunday and
patronise bootleggers on Monday."
BISHOPS WELCOMED
The mayor welcomed the -distinguished
guests to the city.
Dr. Joshua Stansfleld, pastor of the
entertaining church, welcomed the
bishops on behalf of the clergy of this
area, and Robert A. Booth on . behalf
of the laymen. Booth expressed a hope
that the bishops would give a message
before they left that would help lift the
world out of its selfish state and help
it to become a more royal brotherhood.
A glowing tribute was also paid to the
late Bishop Matthew Simpson Hughes
by Governor Olcott
Following the addresses of welcome
Bishop Edwin H, Hughes of Boston, the
bishop farthest removed from this area.
and a brother of the late Bishop Matt
Hughes, gave the response. The rostrum
from which he spoke was also the last
Oregon pulpit which his brother occu
pied. Bishop Hughes agreed that Ore
gon has a fine Methodist history, but
literally "stole" the glory. - stating that
these men all came from New England.
After , giving bis impression of the
grandeur of this western country he
said, closing: "What a tragedy it will
be if Oregon cannot raise men that
will match her mountains."

meeting at the White Temple. Following

teld in the Sunday school temple. In the

Oil. :'.')-.
This last reduction will be considered
in connection with the reduction of 20
cents per barrrel in the prise of oil an
nounced a week ago, in determining tne
extent of the reduction in the price of
gas to the consumer, the statement sets
out
"The commission has just been ad
vised of a further reduction in oil prices
to the Portland Gas & Coke company of
25 cents per barrel," the statement of
the commission said. "This will require
further Investigation and readjustment
of the present figures and calculations
of the commission begun immediately
after the announcement of the 20 cent
reduction a week ago. :
"It Is our information that the com
pany fortunately did not purchase a
cargo of oil at the preceding quotation
and, therefore, we are of the opinion
that the rates hereinafter to be fixed can
equitably take into consideration i the
total of the- two reductions, namely, 45
cents per barret However, we cannot
make an exact and definite statement

Oregon City's Tax
On Outside; Delivery
Trucks Is Resented
Convinced that business men of the
state are being discriminated against in
Oregon City- through the passage re
cently of an ordinance demanding a $10
monthly license fee from trucks making
delivery-in thai place, a committee of
Portland business men left at noon to
day to confer upon the possibility of
changing the measure. -
On April 29 the city council of Oregon
City adopted an ordinance fixing the tax
upon trucks from outside places making
deliveries in that place. - The purpose of
the ordinance was to protect local busi
ness from outside competition, according
to. those who introduced the measure,
Thursday a driver- tor the Pacific
Coast Biscuit company was arrested
at. Oregon City while delivery was being
made. .This was the first intimation
Portland business men had that the ordi
nance was to be strictly enforced,
Through the Chamber of Commerce
this morning a committee of manufac
turers, wholesalers and jobbers was
gathered together to go to Oregon City
and discuss the measure with the busi
ness men..
It is pointed out that the measure Is
discriminatory in that trucks from Van
couver. Wash., or other points outside
the state are not forced to pay this fee
because they are engaged in Interstate
business.
While-the measure may protect Ore
gon City business men from outside
competition in some lines of Industry,
they will suffer from the tax in other
lines. If trucks are forced to pay the
110 license fee upon deliveries, ; it is
pointed out by Portland business men
that the consumer of Oregon City will
have to absorb that difference and that
In the end the consumer will suffer.
The committee from Portland was
headed by P. Hetherton, secretary of
the Chamber of Commerce. .
