And it is a fact. - s The Statesman made itself a nuisance (to people not engaged in "sweet xhecry growing), with the large amount of CDace devoted to this matter when the bill for the law was 1 being framed, because it was . editor that the farm bloc in the having almost its own way with tection of other products, of the land 'But, through neglect, the corsairs of the maraschino com bine got over the following cherry tariff paragraph: "Par. 737. Cherries, in their natural state, sulphured or in brine, 2 cents per pound ; maraschino cherries and cherries prepared or preserved in any manner, 40 per centum ad valorem." The maraschino corsairs cherry erowers were asleep. were mostly from the states interested in sweet cherries. growers, too, were asleep. But them then as now. The big plantings of Royal Anns in , California have been made since 1922. Congressman Hawley tried cents a Dound. So did Senator birds were too wilyor them. ing arguments-for the other members of congress working on the preparation of the tariff bill. r- The tariff on cherries is pfactically the only one that i. , disgustingly low -on the whole farm list.

They want to continue to act in good faith; Jf the people of Salem do not want the city to buy the water works, let them say so; by a vote- Then the owners will have the right to sell to ; other parties. They have that right now; but they feel bound by the negotiations, even though there haye been long delays. And once the water works pass into other hands, the people will have to pay the top price, if they ever get the water works. The top price will be a great deal higher than the present price. That is a certainty. What are we waiting for? There is a special election on June 28th; called by the legislature to vote on referred bills. There is a chanceto-get the cents a pound. Looks like a more than half high enough. It should be 6 cents a pound, at least. Congressman Hawley just missed getting it up to 4 cents, when the bill for the present law was being considered in committee, in 1922. Had the growers then taken an interest, he would have succeeded. That would have made it possible to get it up to 6 cents now. And there is a chance to get it up to 6 cents, if the movement from several quarters for getting action on a schedule at a time or an item at a time shall be successful. This The Dallas-Salem highway beautiful in the United States, if the movement started is persisted in. It may be called the Hawthorne highway. Or the La Creole highway. As between the two, the writer votes for La Creole. That is there. CHERRY TARIFF RAISE NOW APPEARS CERTAIN (t'ontmord from page I.) two weeks the commission has been considering the practicabil ity of an investigation, haying in mind the appropriation made for investigations and the multiplicity demands therefor. "The commission has . had its experts working on the problem for two weeks and wilf meet not later than Tuesday to determine whether an investigation will go forward or not. I am much encouraged to be lieve an investigation and final or der favorable to increase of duty will be forthcoming indeed, the commission has advised some of its agents returning from the Orient that they will receive in structions on reaching this coun try concerning the cherry situa tion, and whether they shall make personal investigation. "These agents will -arrive in ten dr.ys. The tariff commission feels the pressure of other applicants, yet appears sympathetic with our proposition." sreiwer ami Hawley. Too Mr. Hogg also received the fol lowing wire from Lnited States Senator Frederick W. Steiwer: Senator McNary held confer ence this morning with represen tative tariff commission. We be lieve they will act. probably in favorable way, next Tuesday or Wednesday." And Mr. Hogg, whose address is oute 2. Salem, yesterday received tiie following dispatch from Con gressman V. C. Hawley: Re telegram, am continuing ec operation with Oregon and Cal ifornia delegation to secure in crease in duty on cherries. Ap propriation limited, but am in formed tariff commission will meet not later thar. next Tuesday to de cide on investigation." Commission Must Act No matter how urgent the mat te-- may be; or any such matter. the tariff law will not allow the president to act till there has been an investigation by the tariff com mission. That commission is authorized lu tho law to make ."investigations to assist the president in ascertain- ng differences in costs of produc tion," and it is provided in tne same section mai no precis ma- tion (by "the president) shall be issued under thi! section until such investigation shall have ; been made." The Inference from the above is that the president gball follow the nndings (or the recommendation) of the tariff commission. But that does not necessarily follow. President Coolidge re fused to follow the findings of the commission when it attempted to show that Cuban .sugar ought to Rave a lower tariff rating. The tariff commission has been reor ganized since then. The commis sion as, formerly organized had free trade leanings. (It" members Were, named -by Presid-ent Wil son.) :. ' " Duties may be either raised or lowered as much as 5 0 per cent by proclamation of the president. He can do as be pleases, one way or the other but only after an investigation by the tariff com mission. JURY STILL DEADLOCKED Thirty Houm of Deliberation Fail to Bring Agreement : CHICAGO.

GRAND ARMY MAN DIES Former Head of Oregon Depart ment, GAR, Stricken Suddenly PORTLAND, March 18. ( AP) At the conclusion of a stirring appeal to his comrades, whose thinning ranks he had noted, to "carry on' Tillman H. Stevens, past commander of the -Grand Army of the Republic, department of Oregon, collapsed yesterday and died in the arms of his wife a few moments later. Mr. Stevens had made a short speech at a banquet given to his comrades. As the 81 year old veteran sat down, applause filled the crowded banquet hall. Then his head was seen to droop for ward and his face paled. - Mrs. Stevens caught his sinking body but by the time those nearby had reached his side, Mr. Stevens was dead. Mr. Stevens was born in Henly county, Indiana. March 10. 1846. During the civil war he enlisted in Company 1, 124th Indiana in fantry, serving through the war. T APPLE KIPP INDUSTRIAL AKRANGE MET FAVORED BV GKOWE1W SEATTLE. March 18- tAP)--The "Kipp Plan" to make apple production in the Pacific north west more profitable by develop ment on an industrial basis was unanimously adopted at a meet ing of 250 growers, shippers, rail road men and representatives ' of chambers of commerce here today. Committees were appointed to get the organization under way Im mediately. This - plan, proposed by - R. -H. Kipp, Portland marketing - expert, calls for - an organization of all growers including those affiliated with marketing groups; an ergan aa advisory, board of chambers of izatlon of shippers and agencies; commerce, business men and rail road representatives, and a cenr tral clearing house to be operated by a representative of the United State department of agriculture. These will be formed In eachfof four or five districts of Washingr lon. Oregon : and Idaho. Actual operation will. not. be started un til at; least 75 per cent of .the DO M 'growers and shippers on a ton nage basis sign contracts, t Selling and distribution are to be co-ordinated, new markets are to be sought - and developed 'and a national advertising campaign conducted with all groups sharing the cost. Qrowers who sign will agree to ship only through members of the shipping branch, while distribu tors must report all details of Sa lem, fines being imposed for viola tion of contracts. ; Details' concerning the sale of all apples will be wir4 daily to the clearing house which will com pile this information and relay it to-air those associated with the marketing branch. Thfs is designed to prevent the flooding of any market and the consequent forcing down of prices. In a day shipments on the road to a market that becomes poor may be diverted to a more profitable destination. Checks may be ob tained on price cutting and price cutters. If this plan fails of success, the only means of bettering the apple situation. Kipp declared, is to limit production. LISTEN IN SATURDAY MORNING 10:00-11:30 KiV (491).

The Rickrrall Park It was the sentiment of the meeting that the Rickreall park ought to become state property, However, Judge Burch, the owner. will not sell; but he will allow the use of the park to the public gen erally. That is one of the finest parks in the state; ideal in every respect. It was at first planned to plant hawthorne trees only along this highway. But this has been changed. The landscape men con suited advise different shrubs and trees, to conform with the land scape. They advise against a solid block planting all the way. This suggests a probable change in the name. It was to be Hawthorne highway. One of the new names suggested is La Creole highway, after the creek that meanders along the highway, and is crossed by it. ' As to making the rural route mail boxes beautiful. Assistant Postmaster A. E. Gibbard of Sa lem was present. He said there are no regulations against making boxes beautiful with vines or in any. other way. The pos toff ice de partment will welcome such ef forts. They only require that the boxes be white, with black letter ing. The boxes should be six to eight feet off the road, so as to be, handy for the mail carriers. - There, was no decision as to the name of the highway at the meet ing last night. . - I A WWer "Highway. It was suggested that the high way commission may, .whfen the highway to 20 feet, and that the roadway will probably have to be 80 feet wide, Instead of 60t in due course of time.

( AP) All chance of France's even sending an ooserver to the forthcoming three power naval disarmament conference at Geneva is believed here to have been eliminated by the Amyican memorandum pub lished at Geneva yesterday oppos ing international supervision of armaments, once an armament limitation has been reached. The French government has committed itself so firmly to the program of the League of Nations commission for general disarma ment that political observers do not believe it can disassociate it self. The American memorandum indicates that the league's pro gram is considered impossible in Washington, with the result that little likelihood of reconciling the confliction views is seen here Up to this time the French gov ernment has shown great hesi tancy regarding sending an obser ver to the Geneva conference. The cabinet has been about evenly divided on the question and it is expected to take final decision on this matter at its next regular meeting. MOSCOW, Mar. 18. (AP) We are ready to abandon the production and use of poison gas if other countries will do like wise, says the oiuciai lzvestia, today, speaking in behalf of the soviet government. "We also are ready to participate In anr confer ence for the. further reduction of armaments." These declarations were made in answer to the statement in the" house of commons by Sir Laming Worthington-Evans, British secre tary for war, that soviet Russia is producing more poison gas than any other country in the world.

Angeles to prevent interfer ence in the production of a film version of "The Chocolate Sol dier," on the grounds3 of infringe ment on Shaw's play,' "Arms and the man." Mr. Shaw was in: court nearly five hours, but only whispered to his counsel occasionally, while Mr. Levinson testified and produced experts to support his efforts to obtain an injunction to restrain Mr.- Shaw from interfering with filming the operetta. But late this afternoon when Justice Eve, presiding, remarked that it appeared to him there was no ciuse .for the plaintiff's action. the Shaw eyebrows fairly stood out straight as their owned hid a broad smile with his hand and re peatedly nudged his counsel. Jus tice Eve adjourned the case until Monday, when be said he would hear further argument on behalf of the plaintiff in order to deter mine whe-ther to. permit amend ment of the complaint. : SHAW SHOWS BREAT PLEASURE If COURT When You Inspect The First National Bank Building Tonight Do n't fail to see the Iron Fireman Automatic Coal Burnes in the basement heating tb; building.
