"The only solution," be concluded, "involves a change in class relation ships. Only a government by the workers and farmers can plan produc tion, produce goods for use and not for profit, eliminate poverty and raise the standard of living of the entire population." LUMBERMEN RAP REPORT CHICAGO, June 13. (U.R) A statement attacking the findings of the Darrow Nil A review board was insued today by the National Lumber Manufacturers association in conven tion here. The report accused the lumber code authority of "amaxing subterfuge" to achieve "an Iron-fisted monopoly con trol of output, sales prices and chan nels of trade." Defending the executive officer of the code authority, Carl Bahr, the as sociation's statement said: 'The attack on the 'executive sec retary' is.... absurd. It is apparently based on the assumption that Mr. Bahr refused to discuss the matter of a lumber price differential with a wit ness at the Darrow hearing. 'Mr. Bahr not only discussed this question with him at great length but went out of his way to assist the wit ness In getting the facta before the board 'It is Impossible to understand how the board could have reached its con clusions unlejis It holds the view that any complainant against the lumber code Is entitled to any relief which he requests on ex parte representation. BILL RE-ELECTED T E (CONTINUED FROM PAGE I) L (CONTINUED FROM PAGE I) jorlty, that organisation would be designated as the bargaining agency. The Idea of presidential concilia tion was retained in the tentative leg islation, part of which was said by some senators to have been written In the president's own hand-writing. No agreement was resetted by the different groups consulted today. elude humnn lives. It Is not only necessary to protect growing crops, buildings, and other property, such as livestock, but human beings are en titled to a greater feeling of security than they now have while dwelling on the Taiyunn plain near the Fen Ho, aa many are forced to live. The an nual protection to property alone with its Increased value as this Insurance Is applied should amount to $2,000,. 000 annually. The Increase In the rvalue of farm lands In this area thus protected from flood will be enough to pay for the project by the time the work is completed. This is based on the assumption that of the 1000 siiunre miles of 4,000,000 mou of land in the Talyuan plain at least 25 per cent will benefit markedly by these protective measure. Within a few years an increase of $10 per mou on these bottnm lands should occur, mak ing a totnl of $10,000,000 of unearned Increment or values derived by bene fits conferred by others than the land owners.'1 In estimating tangible benefits with ; this project, Mr. Todd lists an annual t Increase In crop values due to Irriga- i tion. $.MKI,000; annual saving In crops, j buildings, livestock, due to protection : from flood, 11,000.000; annual In- j crease In land values for first five years due to irrigation improvements. $-.0ir0t0O0; annual Increase In land values for first five years due to flood protection in Taiyuan plain, $2,000,- j ma i. In the conclusion of the report on the Fen Ho, Mr. Todd states the conservancy is a work of major Im portance for several reasons: In these days China needs to develop areas of stabilited government where a good start has been made toward peace and and his visit to numerous New Eng land and eastern grange jurisdictions, as well as his visits the past few yeara to western grange conventions, a strong Indication of his desire to replace National Master Taber who has been at the helm for more than a dozen years. The Oregon leader Is a member of the national grange executive committee and just returned in time for the Oregon meet from a trip he started early in May. He attended the sessions at Washington, D. C, and then went to the New England atates. From there he returned west ward and last week was In attendance at the Washington state meeting at Pullman. He is well known among grange leaders over the entire weat which would stand Mm In good stead. Ground Work Laid Therecent use of his name In connection with independent candidate yuBsimlitiea at the November elec tion have also been held as an ad vantage to him In seeking the na tional position, which carries a fine salary and undoubtedly would be of longer duration , than a term as governor. His trtends comment they believe the ambitious granger would do well to turn down the gubernator ial post for such a position. Ihe national grange convention will be held in Hartford, Connecticut next November, and while Gill's re ported desire may not be realized this year, it was apparent he was lay ing the ground work toward that end and did not wish to be handicapped by a steady four-year, state job. Gill has already been assured of hia re election to the Oregon leadership for another two years and would be in a good position to advance hia national candidacy. Earl Hill Opposed Another phase of politics being discussed Is that concerning the lower house of the legislature, while Gill in his annual address urged abolishment of the bouse of represen tatives, it is known that even If this would be accomplished It would take some years, so some thought was being given to the house organiza tion for the 1035 legislature. Grange officials have expressed dissatisfaction in all mentioned can didates for speaker of the house, declaring not one of them has sup ported grange activities at recent sessions. They refer to auch aspir ants as Earl Hill -of Lane county, George Winslow of Tillamook coun ty, Charles Childs of Linn county, and Lowell Paget of Multnomah county. It waa believed resolutions con sidered at this convention may touch upon the subject. . When 'asked If the grange members had one in mind for speakership they . declare they have not, but upon further discus sion ft brought out that Morton Tompkins of Yamhill county, long active in the state grange, had been Importuned to become a candidate, Tomkuia waa known to be not ad verse to the suggestion. The speakership by location this year should go to the first congression al district territory, it haa been de clared, and since Tompkins is from that district grange members see in his choice one who would meet not only this prerequisite but their qualifications as well. E Ernest F. Klngery, charged with arson, was on trial in circuit court Wednesday and the state expected to finish Its testimony early In the afternoon. Klngery la accused of inducing Harold Cooley, 19, and Lawrence Trapp, 24, of setting fire to a poultry house on a farm own ed by C. A. Wlntermeler three miles east of Springfield. Both Cooley und Trapp testified to that effect at the trial. The jury before which the case is being tried consists of Samuel I Renshnw, Effie R. Knapp, George W. Piatt, H. H. Ruth, V. E. Grous beck, John E. Edwards, Bertha Dorris, Samuel T. Rouse. Fred Bloomfleld, Elsie Curran, William Maddaugh, and B. A. Washburne. The Jury In the case of E. D. Mills against Fred Loffelmacher found that the plaintiff Is entitled to the Immediate possession of the two horses Involved, and In the case of F. Reed McBride against W. W. Wyatt, the plaintiff se cured a verdict of (401.30 due as rental of a store building at Crea well. He had claimed $680, but the defendant had a counter claim for alleged damage to goods on account of a leaky roof. 14 Taking Exams For Teacher Paper Fourteen applicants for teachers' certificates, all of them women, presented themselves for the semi annual examinations at the court house Wednesday morning, More are expected to appear later, ac cording to L.

FOR CLUB SPEAKER There is a very definite and in tricate relationship between the act of seeing and the whole physical makeup; yet, the majority of stores give the least attention to proper and valuable lighting systems, accord ing to George M. Boyd of the West inghouse Electric and Manufacturing company in a talk for the Lions club inncheon, Wednesday noon, at the Eugene hotel. "Commercial Seeing" was his gen eral topic in which he discussed the very close connection between seeing and selling. He is giving another talk at 8 p. m. Wednesday in the cham ber of commerce, covering a wider field on the subject. A great deal of the blindness is the result of the wrong type of lighting in factories, work places, or other surroundings of the individuals, he stated. ' The basis of all sale is iu seeing; 87 per cent of the decision to buy resting on the art of seeing the oh- ! jects bought, be declared. Yet so many of the stores are so poorly lighted that the customers can not see what they are buying. Fur thermore, there is a great lack of in tensity within a store that allows the customer to see properly. Moreover, vision within the store is crippled with such things aa a skylight . to glare into, or a blaze of white light from the front. Often times a customer leaves a store because he feels irri tated, such condition arising in most cases from improper lighting. Sight is the main sense by which a customer buys, yet but few merchants do much to assist the eye in seeing better. Usually, the merchants keep their stores dark to save the light bill, thus losing trade, Mr. Boyd stated. Another thing, merchants today must remember is that this is a hur rying age, people are speeded up in all they do, and the show windows and displays have to be fixed up to catch the vision and fit into this speed sit uation, he added. The sneaker was introduced by Hugh P. Gurrin. Guests at the lunch eon included F. Ford Northrop of the Eugene water board and C. C. j Boozier and C. C. Currie, both of , the Westinghouse companies..
