Prune growers who have some
other crops on their places besides
prunes have not lost as a rule,
but have made fairly good money
in the last few years, according to
B. II. Critchfield. agricultural
economist from the federal gov
ernment, here to Investigate the
prune problem, told Chamber of
Commerce members at the noon
luncheon Monday. , ;
The big losses have all been
suffered by the growers who have
no other crop, and must put their
whole dependence on prunes,-Mr.
Critchfield stated.
The department of agriculture
is trying to find a solution to the
problem, he said, and while no
concrete results are yet available,
it is nly a matter of time and
patience until something can be
done to alleviate the distress of
the growers.
The chief problem is In market
ing the crop, he stated, and he be
lieves when this matter has been
solved, many of the troubles will
vanish. Growers should have a
better understanding of marketing
conditions, and make use- of it.-
If no profit can be made at the
prevailing market price, the only
thing left for the grower is .to

Cooperation between growers,
packers and bankers is much
needed In the industry, according
to Mr. Critchfield. They must
get together before there can be
any kind of successful cooperative
marketing. . The department of
agriculture will devote its efforts
to bringing about a basis for such
cooperation, he ; said.
Greater advertising may help
solve ;the prune problem by caus

MARRIAGE ANNULLED

be good picking. Indeed, a com

would be a whole Christmas,.tree!
But Santa Claus reindeer, aren't

They come with the spirit of joy

ported WASHINGTON, Nov. 22 (AP)
Automobiles seized while en
gaged in- the unlawful transporta
tion of intoxicating liquor may be
forfeited to the, government,
whether they are. being operated
by their owners or some one else,
the supreme court ruled today in
deciding a case from Alabama in
volving one Ford coupe.
There was sharp division in the
court over the question whether
the old internal revenue laws im
posing taxes on the manufacture
and sale of liquor were in effect,
r Justices McReynolds, Suther
land and Butler joined in a vigor
ous dissent, contending that the
manufacture and sale of liquor
for beverage purposes had been
prohibited by the 18th amendment
and that the old revenue laws tax
ing the manufacture and sale of
beverage liquor had been inferen
tially repealed by the prohibition
law.
The importance of the issue
arose out of the assertion of the
right of an innocent owner to re
cover an automobile seized while
being used to unlawfully transport
liquor. Manufacturers and auto
mobile sales agents were interest
ed in the case. The coupe was
being sold on the installment plan
by the Garth Motor company
which claimed the right to re
cover it upon a showing of owner
ship and unauthorized use in li
quor transportation.
The government was supported
by a majority of the court in its
position that the old internal rev
enue taxes on liquor remained in
force under prohibition and that
it was immaterial in forfeiture
proceedings, under those - laws,
whether the machine was being
used by its owner or someone else.
The opinion was handed down by
Justice Brandeis.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22. (AP)
Asimplified McNary-Haugen
farm relief bill will be introduced
on the opening day of congress" by
Senator MeNary, republican. Ore
gon, and pressed for a final vote.
In making this announcement
today, the Oregon senator, who
will be confirmed as chairman of
the senate agricultural committee
when congress meets, declared the
same principal of the old bill waa
retained, but the administrative
machinery would be simplified.
He predicted the measure would
draw more support at the short
session than ever before, as the.
farmers of the west and south
were demanding relief from low
farm prices. As chairman of the
agricultural committee, he will' be
in a position to hold the measure
more forcibly before the senate.
Although he will not complete
the draft of the measure until
after he has conferred with heads
of the leading farm organizations,
Senator MeNary has decided to
ask for an appropriation of $250,
000,000 to set up export machin
ery to sell surplus crops under the
management of a board to be ap
pointed by the president from the
12 federal land bank districts.
The government would not
stand to lose anything under this
plan, he said, as the sum would

RE E
PLAN ZONE LLST
AT GROUP MEET
WOULD CREATE FIVE DIS
, TR1CTS IN ENTIRE CITY
Matter to be Submitted to Council
at Next Regular sesaioit
for Approval
The city of Salem will be zoned
for building purposes probably
within tbe next two weeks, it was
indicated following a meeting of
the city zoning and planning com
mission last night. A tentative
list of zones has already been pre
pared, but will probably be chang
ed some before being submitted
to the council for approval.
The commission hopes to have
the zones ready for approval at
the council's next meeting Decem
ber C, it was stated last night by
Lewis Campbell, chairman, but
whether this can be done is not
certain.
After the council has acted on
the proposed zones, a public hear
ing must be held two week later,
so the city zoning cannot be en-
forced before the first of r the eoiu
fng.year, at the earliest. - ,
Tim new zones, in their present
state, are modeled somewhat af
ter those now in force In Portland,
although some changes have, been
made. An ordinance to accom
pany tbe zones will be drawn up
soon, and indications last night
were that it also would be modeled
largely after the Portland ordi
nance. The Portland ordinance
works very well, and would make
an excellent model to follow, ac
cording to members of the com
mission. '. Under the proposed ordinance,
Salem will be divided into five
'zones, together with one sub-zone.
Zone No. 1, under the" ordinance,
would be a restricted resi
dence district, ; for -single family
residences only. one 2, the other
residential zone, would permit in
addition residences for two fam
ilies, apartments, flats and multi
ple dwellings.
Zone 3 would permit all build
ings such as are in zones' 1 and 2,
and would also contain business
houses and manufacturing plants
in vwhich there is little 4 noise or
other offensive feature. Zone S
(special) is one which would permit-business
houses, stores, drug
stores, and the like in a residen
tial district. j v.
' "Tfiereas "taken in by this zone
are small and scattered and in
clude spots where a small business
center exists in an otherwise
strictly residential district.
Zone 4 is an unrestricted busi
ness zone, in which factories of all
kinds are permitted. Zone 5 is one
which is a prospective residential
district, but in, which families are
permitted to live in shacks, gar
ages and the like for a period of
two years. Areas taken in by this
zone lie on the outskirts of the
city, and are such that in course of
time they will become restricted
residential sections.
Under the tentative zoning sys
tem the chief unrestricted areas
lie along the water front, in the
North Salem and Fairgrounds road
business section, and along the
railroad tracks extending east and
west . through the city south of
Willamette university as far as

W. D. B Dodson, manager of

stated the proposition, and de
tailed' the -former efforts of the
Portland chamber of commerce to
get the beet sugar industry estab
lished here in the Willamette val
ley 'on a permanent basis. H
said sugar , beet growing .makes ai
cash crop. It makes a foundation,
for other paying industries on tha
land. It is of vast Importance.'
and especially in connection with,
dairying and iive stock breeding
generally. It makes for balanced,
agriculture. , s ..' ,
A Good Proposition
, The Portland chamber of com
merce has had several proposi
tions from people with little ex
perience to get all the money for,
a beet sugar factory. But this is
the case of the oldest concern in
the line in the country proposing;
to furnish all the money for a fac
tory; with a record of success run-
nlng through three generations
and asking only, that the farmers
grow the beefs. He thinks this isv
a . wonderful opportunity, and
ought to be taken up at once.
R. H. Kipp, marketing specialist
of the Portland chamber of com
merce, told of the fact that that
organization, in preparing for tha
campaign for sugar beet acreage
in the , Willamette valley, sent an
experienced man to the JBelling
ham district, to interview growers
there. He talked w.ith 29 growers,
and he found them all satisfied.
He found only one who will not
stay with sugar beet growing. He
found most growers have in
creased their original acreage..'
(They have .. grown beets in a
major way tor .two years, forthe
factory there. They had ; grown,
them in an experimental war for
three years before, shipping to the
factory in the Yakima -valley.) ,
