THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL. PORTLAND. OREGON MONDAY. JUNE 27. lC:i. HATE INCREASE i ON SECOND CLASS 5 v mm mm Washington, June 27. (WASH INGTON BUREAU OF THE JOUR .NAlfc)Regard for revenues. In the "face of a $90,000,000 deficit with vwhich the postof f ice department is confronted for the coming fiscal year, is given as the controlling: rea son for the refusal of the house com onlttee on postof flees and postroads ' 3to report the tongworth bill to post pone increases on second class mail matter which become effective on ?July 1. The committee's decision was by vote of 22 to 2. Another factor in the defeat of the -Longworth bill, it Is learned, is that It came before the committee In very .dif ferent form from the proposal " of the American Newspaper Publishers' asso ciation. The publishers are said to have favored a bill with two principal ob jects: First, postponement of the July increase pending investigation of costs; 'necond, segregation of the cost of carry ing and handling magazines and periodi cals, as distinguished from daily news i papers. . iBLAME MAGAZI5ES !; It Is their contention that the deficit .resulting each year in second class mat tr is principally due to magazines, the - popular weeklies and periodicals, and that the daily ' press Is only. In small degree responsible, although it is often linked with deficits In the public mind 4 because newspapers also classify as second class matter. . . It was the hope of the publishers that & a bill confined strictly to the two points mentioned could be reported, but no sucft measure was Introduced. Instead, Rafter . being written. It was rewritten, several times It is said, and the Long worth, bill finally was presented. t This will provided for a postponement of second class Increase In such form ss ! class lone as a repeal of the second . vrlass zone' rate increases; instead of the t postponement pending Investigation, as i originally proposed. A1M tOST SIGHT OF This bill also widened the scope of In- - qulry and brought about a request from ithe postoffice department for an Inquiry into; all branches of postal service costs, I for I Which It was estimated $300,000 i would be required. The committee . backed away from" this proposal andX- never came to a voie on, won me puo r Ushers are said to have really had in view. which was a restricted inquiry into the cost of newspapers as compared, with magasines and periodical!!, which are of great bulk, composed largely of adver tising;, and carried for great distances . from the office of publication. " ' Just who - was responsible for this switching of the cards cannot be stated "wlth authority. It was, however, testl - f ied by Victor Rosewater, Omaha pub lisher, that he and one other publisher prepared a final draft of the Longworth jblll. It is felt here that the newspaper publishers generally: are not convinced that their fight was well conducted. since the comparatively modest Inveati- Ration which they had desired, in order Dog Is Killed by .

The theory was first advanced that the lights were soma sort of signals arranged by whiskey runners In heralding the arrival of auto loads of liquor. Another theory , is that the lights are caused by the reflection of powerful headlights on automobiles on spots ' of soil in the formation of the buttes that con tain heavy deposits of silica. - Another theory : has been advanced that the lights are caused by a phos phorous glow on account of the extremely moist' season that has been prevalent this year, as phosphorous glow lights are not uncommon In many sections of the wheat belt of the Klickitat valley dur ing the wet season in the fall and spring.
