tutus C. 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.

By FRANK I. 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
