Holman, state treasurer. who plerce-arrowed down periodi cally to see how things were go ing. The Hoss summer . capital is ; at Taft; Governor Meier has spent . most of the month at his Colum bia 'river MenucWi home while Holman devotes much of hisi en ergies to Portland affairs where he Is still interested in a business. When the state treasurer was in town he expressed Ire over certain goings-on at the statehouse which are said to have Involved the state purchasing agent, William Einzig. The exact trouble was not Avail able to the press but Holman is known now to be- antagonistic to Elnslg and desirous of throwing a well-sharpened tomahawk at his - head. Einsig stands high with the "governor and no open breach has yet appeared; Holman being ap parently willing to bide his time rather than force an open fight with the chief executive. Holman Ambitions Obtrude Frequently Holman's well-known ambition to carry on the. bullfrog party or to merge It with the old reliable G. O. P. in his own eventual race for the rovernorshlp becomes very noticeable as the days go on. He did break with the governor In a friendly way over the Issuance of J Quarterly license receipts but then only when, his bondsmen said he would personally be responsible for the moneys received. It was this possible thrust at Holman's own pocketbook which forced him f torn accepting the Meier, plan. . The expected resignation "of Senator Marks will be good news to the treasurer. Marks might have been a formidable opponent for governor In 1934; he will be less available as a hard-working, less publicised Albany lawyer than as a senator, perhaps a reelected president of the senate. . Friends of Senator Marks know he would not be adverse to the governorship but that he prefers a good law practice and financial ecurity to the rougb-and-tumoie uncertainty of political battle. A conservative by nature, the senator quite evidently has weighed his political fortunes against the sure fees which the bankruptcy referee appointment will bring to his of- flee and has decided it is business prudence to take the new joo.

WELLER OTTAWA, Ont., Aug. 20 (AP) - While guns boomed and a car illon pealed forth, -the British im perial economic conference today completed a month of labor by signing numerous trade, agree i ments constituting a definite pro gram for ' commercial recovery throughout the empire. There was a slseable number of these treaties, each of them neat ly bound in green tape and bear ing a red seal. Great Britain con cluded pacts with Australia, the Union of South Africa, New Zea land, India, Newfoundland, South ern Rhodesia and Canada. The Irish Free State signed bl-lateral treaties with Canada and South Africa; Canada with south Africa and Southern Rhodesia, ana New Zealand with South Africa, All of these pacts are subject to ratification of the respective parliaments and there may be modifications of the various duty rates that have been proposed at the conference. These were listed as the out standing accomplishments of the parley at its final session: A British tariff of six cents a bushel on foreign wheat to pro tect empire wheat. A British tariff of possibly four cents a pound on copper, and a 20 per cent preference on empire I lumber. These duties are to be but tressed by British legislation which will make sure that the ad- vantages to the dominions result ing from them will not be erased by "state controlled competition In return the dominions par- tlcularly Canada agreed to give BJ"fn ' ,nQ,tr?!L.pro?
