Retailer Xot at Fault. 1 The commission's investigations during the war, all of which dealt only with the most authoritative in formation derived from the books of companies Involved, are said to have shown that profiteering was at a minimum in the retail trades, most of the exorbitant profits which are being made going to the ananufac eurera and wholesalers.

MEAT DEALERS HELD PROFITEERS WASHINGTON. July 1 Figures showing that retail meat dealers in Washington are averaging 100 per cent profit on all aalea of meat were cited today before a senate District of Columbia sub-committee Investi gating living costs in the district.

The witness said the same profita were being made today.

Relative io a special session. H. L. Idleman. Piember of the lower house from Multnomah county writes: . "If such a session is called I will be glad to attend and pay my own expenses. I am heartily in favor of an extra session if it will material ly assist the suffrage movement." Representative Ben C. Sheldon of Jackson county thinks a session should be cr.Ued "if it can be of any benefit to the cause of alvancin,r suffrage to women, even it that ben efit Is only that of encouraging other states to take similar action" Mr. Sheldon insists that the one question only be considered. Senator Robert S. Farrell or Mult nomah county is so fcttongly in fa vor that he is wlllin; to pay the ex penses of some member who feels he is unable to forego per diem and mileage. "Should some members feel they could not afford to stand the ex Dense." writes Senator Farrell. "I will b one to pay for any other member's expense and sucn expense to be drawn by lot by a fsw of us whom I know who will help thos who cannot afford tos pend the time and money.

He states that be is not keen for a special ses sion and does not think it right that members should be asked to serve without pay. but that ha Is willing to do as the majority wishes. Un derstand. I am not opposed to rati ficatioa ef the suffrage amendment." he' adds. 'Representatives David M. Grabam of Lane county, Cyril C. Brownell of Umatilla and Herbert Gordon of Multnomah are others from who the governor received communications yesterday. Senator Roy W. Ritner of Pendle ton is willing to attend a special ses sion and pay his own expense, but he Is not willing to bind himself by promise-to consider that measure alone.' 'He says if his constituents cannot trust him not to make a fool of himself they would better elect someone else. Incidentally the sen ator puts a lick in for the Pendleton Round-Up and invites Governor and Mrs. Olcott to attend in September. He writes this to the governor: . "My Dear Governor: I have been requested by the Ore gon ratification committee to write you requesting r special session to r (Notice to Subscribers Under Authority of the Postmaster General, on account oi recent in creases in wages, to employes, totaling for the State of Oregon upwards of $225,000.00, certain changes in exchange rate? hare been approved and made effective July 29, 1919, for the State of Oregon. . " w All new business taken on and after July 29th will bo at the new rates and bills to present subscribers for the month of August will be rendered' at the new rates. . i The increased rates will yield an annual revenue upward of $250,000.00, but as the increase in wages is upwards of $223,000.00, the net return to the Company under the rates now made effective is approximately per. cent on the valuation of its property at $13,464,000.00, as found by the Public Ser vice Commission. 0 The-new schedule of rates is identical with the one approved by tho Postmaster-General for the State of Washington, which has been in effect since March 1, 1919, and the rates are the same for exchanges that are coo We believe that no proof as to the advanced cost of living and the gen eral high costs prevailing for labor and material is necessary and that the telephone-using public will accept this increase in rates in the same spirit of fairness and consideration as It has the advances in almost every other necessity in these unusual times.
