Swan-Oakes Measure De

tion at Public Hearing
Charges, that the Swan-Oakes
measure, known as H. B, No. 69,
pertaining to the regulation, tax
ation and licensing ot automobile
busses is a strictly railroad meas
ure, designed to aid this' branch of
transportation and that the rail
roads are favored by its terms,
were made last night at an open
meeting before the roads and
highway , committee by John
Ldgan, of Portland, attorney for
the bus interests. The charge wae
denied by" representative , L. L,
Swan, of Albany, who Maintained
that the railroads had nothing to
do with the measure. ;
, The busses have become of such
daily use that the people could not
exist If these were removed from
the highways. Attorney Logan de
clared. , The people, demand that
bus service be offered.!
H. B. No. 59 provides a taxa
tion upon a per seat per mile
basis, with consideration given as
to whether the vehicle travels over
paved or unpaved highways. : The
rate is lower for the unpaved
routes. According to Representa
tive Swan's measure, the operation
of a 20-passengcr bus is 3 cent3
per mile and would j amount; to
about $1650 per year. This the
bus men maintain is i prohibitive.
Arxnur spencer, attorney tor tne
Union Pacific,' appeared before the
committee in behalf of the rail
roads. The measure, he eaid, pro
vided a just and equitable basis
of operation in comparison with

Other . recommendations in the

message urging expeditious action,
dealt with the tariff, increased
financial aid for state agricultural

The' commission! reiterated its
earlier suggestions for assisting
the cattle men through existing
financial agencies and a new pub
lic land grazing policy. - j;
The federal cooperative market-
ing board, as proposed In the re-;
port,..would enablefjcooperatives to
develop "without governmental in-1
terference -or domination," but
would adopt a "fostering attitude'!
toward them. The commission
said it had considered various pro
posed measures in congress deal
Ing with cooperative 'marketing
but found that no pending bill pre
sents a . completely satisfactory
program.
Marketing jls Secret
Stressing that the "present prob
lems of agriculture rest upon the
ability of the farmer to market his
goods at aj profit,'?! the commission
recommended . that legislation
should follow six 'general princt
pies, to be applied upon voluntary
action by commodity marketing
organizations, producers and dis
tributors." The government should
not interfere with; development of
the cooperatives, f the report said,
except for the very proper police
powers lodged with the secretary
of agriculture under the Capper
Volstead act', If i added, however
that "leadership:! and assistance
through the authority of the gov
ernment is essential."

the main street of the town and
supposed to have been fired at
Ross Lisenby, a policeman, was in
reality fired by Lisenby, some of
the, witnesses Indicated, although
none could testify that they actu
ally saw him shoot. The eye
witnesses ill agreed that Thomas
killed Young, while several added
that Young killed Thomas after
receiving a: fatal wound. Opin
ions differed as to who killed Ed
Forbes, and all denied any knowl
edge Of j who killed' Homer War
ren, but all agreed he must have
been killd from bullets fired
from the futside.

an escort of two automobile loads
of deputies, arrived early and
went Into Thomas house. Some
of his deputies accompanied him
while others scattered through
the crowd.:' One deputy, stationed
