Mr. Sechrist told the Farmers'
Union that, "The discrimination
against Oregon clover seed has or
iginated entirely from experimen
tal agencies.
"The evidence has been gather
ed from . plot tests conducted at
certain experiment stations. The
results rary greatly and are not
conclusive enough to warrant the
active propaganda those people
are circulating."
Serious loss has accrued to the
farmers of Oregon as the result
of this ban.. Oregon clover seed
sells for nine cents a pound, as
against 19 cents a pound for seed
In those central states. In some of

Lowest in History; Belief
Of Corporation Head;
Much Wheat Sold
Ten Million Bushels Left
For Next Seven Months
Trade Says Collins
SPOKANE, Jan. (AP) H.
W. Collins, vice-president of the
Farmers' National Grain corpora
tion, today predicted the wheat
surplus for Washington. Oregon
and Idaho at the end of 1932 will
be the smallest in the history of
the Pacific northwest.
Collins, who is in charge of this
area, set the January 1 surplus
for the three states at 10,7(4.121
bushels. The carryover on July 1,
1931, was 20,000,000, he said say
ing nearly one-half the surplus has
been disposed ef to date.
'"The report shows but 10,754,'
121 bushels to work on during the
next seven months for export and
for all rail shipments east," said
Collins. This year's supply, In
eluding crop and carryover at the
beginning of the season, totaled
83.150,000 bushels.
"In normal years, the carryover
at tne end of the season in this
area usually Is about 10.000.000
bushels. Therefore, we feel that by
the time the next crop is available
for movement, our surnlus will be
the smallest ever known on the
Pacific coast."
He figured this year's crop at
60,700.000 bushels. The normal Is
around 80.000,000 bushels.
ine Washington 1931 crop
was 40,500,000 bushels. The
northern Idaho crop was 12,000,-
000 bushels and the Oregon crop
8.200,000 bushels," he said.
DEMOCRAT' TARIFF
BILL PAST HOUSE
WASHINGTON, Jan. 9 (AP)
The scant democratic majority
scored its first victory over the
adminstratlon forces on a major
political issue today by forcing a
party tariff bill through the
house.
.It voted 214 to 182 to revamp
administrative features of the
Hawley-Smoot law dealing with
the flexible tariff powers of Pres
ident Hoover and went on record
favoring an international confer
ence to revise tariffs downward.
The bill now goes to the sen
ate, where passage is probable.
However, congressional adminis
tration followers are convinced
that if the measure is sent to the
White House it will be vetoed.
Twelve republicans and one
farmer-laborite, represent a 1 1 v e

Intangibles Law
Attack Changed;
Action Reopened.
A second amended complaint
made by Plaintiffs Green and
Caswell was filed Saturday In
circuit court here, the 1931 in
tangibles tax law being the sub
ject of attack and the state tax
commission named as defendants.
The new complaint is thought to
be relieved of all objections
by defense counsel to the orig
inal pleadings.
The Intangibles law Is held in
the complaint to be in violation
of the state and federal coni-i-
tutions which forbid discrimina-
tory taxation. The law is also
claimed to violate the six per
cent limitation elause of the
state constitution and to be un-
fair because banks and other fi-
nancial corporations are not in-
eluded in its provisions.
