BUTTER STEADY
GRAPEFRUIT DUE
FROM FLORIDA
Portland (LP) Condition of the
butter market appears more or less
of steaoy character throughout the
country. Little change In tlie gen
eral quotation la indicated at any
of the leading marketing points
Production is showing a decrease in
spots and Increased elsewhere.
Prices were maintained generally
In the local territory for both cubed
and print while butterfat was In
clined to show more or less steadi
ness. General trading In the egg mar
ket Is reported as fully steady. No
price change has been announced
by Manager Dixon of the Pacific
co-ops who are maintaining fully
their recent advances. Others are
following.
With a liberal per cent of the
present supply consisting of small
stock:, the demands for live turkeys
Is best for the larger sized birds.
Prices are steady as a rule.
Prevailing offerings of chickens
from the country are of small vol
ume with a resulting strengthen
ing of the general trade situation.
Praclcally all Interests have been
forces to follow the advance o! one
house made late last week.
Demand for 'apples continues quite
favorable. Export situation is no;
so active but this appears due
mostly to the fact that it Is al
most Impossible to secure sufficient
small stuff to fill orders. Prices
steady.
Opening the season for shipments
of Florida grapefruit to the west
ern states Wednesday caused con
siderable excitement In local fruit
circles. Borne Florida stock Is now
rolling. The Texas stock Is very
good. Caltfornian is quite a fav
orite with many.
Increased carload movement of
Cauliflower is in sight here ac
cording to officials of the Oregon
Gardeners' association, which has
become a big factor in the trade.
Offerings next week are expected
to show a liberal increase. Qual
ity Is the best in years.
Still another advance of a dime
a hundred pounds is announced in
refinery price of sugar along the
coast, with a similar boost In value
here. The trade Is reported in ex
cellent condition.
There Is a small supply of Colum
bia river fresh stcelhead salmon
offering at 15 cents. Plenty of
crabs.
Silverslde and Chinook salmon Is
not quite so plentiful, reports the
Oregon Fish Co.

at the moment.

POOR CONSTRUCTION
MAKES FIRE HAZARD
More than 50 per cent of the fire
losses of Oregon from "unknown"
and "undetermined'' causes, can be
accounted for by antiquated and
new but cheaply constructed dwel
lings, reports of the state fire mar
ahal for national fire prevention
week, disclosed.
The fire marshal blamed increas
ed taxation for the many poorly con
structs buildings of Oregon while
"overnight promotion of new ad
ditions cause coastmctlon of many
dwellings that immediately become
fire hazards.
PRINKS WASTED
Many prune growers in Califor
nia are not harvesting their small
sixed prunes because of market and
crop conditions, according to Gen
eral Manager Harlan of the Califor
nia Prune and Apricot Orowers as
sociation to the California Fruit
News. In the northern part of the
state, Mr. Harlan rr ports, several
thousand tons of prunes are not be
ing harvested as under present con
ditions It would be unprofitable tor
growers to go to the expanse of pick
ing and haul in j the small sizes.

disclosure of the conference which
came after the New York market
had closed Tuesday on an upward
trend the question of short selling
of stocks was uppermost. There had
been rumors the department of jus
tice was investigating such trans
actions, especially those believed to
be attempts at artificial depression
of values. To these reports, John
Lord O Brian, the assistant to the
attorney general, said he had never
heard of any such activity, and
knew of no plans for any future In
vestigation.
There has not been the slightest
official intimation of any proposed
government interference with the!the county prosecutor reiusea to
stock exchange. It is known, how-1
ever, the president s attention has
been drawn to the short selling
phase of market operations since
the general deflation set in.

STATE'S OBLIGATION
ONLY ISSUE RAISED
(Continued from page 1)
homes Is the one Issue to be de
cided by the electorate. If the
voter feels the state owes such an
obligation he should cast an af
firmative ballot.
In the proposal there Is, however,
no economic Justification and sound
business considerations condemn n.
despite the contrary arguments of I
its sponsors. When the original
bonus act was approved there was
none versed in financial matters
who ever expected the state to any
where near break even on the ven
ture. It was not intended that way
and experience points out that the
taxpayers are bound to finance some
deficit.
The bonus loans are made from
the proceeds of general obligation
bond sales, to be financed through
a special continuing tax levy. The
bonds bear an average of 4 per cent
Interest and the loans to veterans
are at the same rate of Interest. To
date $29,000,000 of such bonds nave
been sold and there are at present
outstanding $27,200,000. Administra
tive costs and losses through fore
closures more than overbalance any
profits which may accrue through
the resale of property.
The proposed amendment would
extend the bonus loan bond limita
tion from 3 to 4 per cent of the
assessed- valuation of the state and
add several millions of dollars to
the bonded Indebtedness of the
state. Additional loans. It is pro
vided, would be on a 4',i per cent
basis but there is no assurance that
the added one-half per cent would
carry the administrative costs, es
pecially during the last years of the
life of the loans.
It is argued that profits on loans
which have been transferred by vet
erans to other individuals not en
titled to the benefits of the act,
with consequent Increases ln the in
terest rnte from 4 to B per cent,
makes administration of the bonus
act a profitable enterprise for the
stale. The validity of this argument
cannot be established until the final
balance Is written on the books ol
the bonus commission.
But it was not the Intention of
the people that the state in provide
lug the bonus loans was setting v
sell up in the general loan business
ln competition with those of its
citizens and taxpayers who are eu-
eaecd in that line of endeavor.
If the argument that extension of
loan privilege to these war veterans
will result ln much needed develop-
! ment of farms and other properties
through making cheap money avail
able Is valid and reasonable It Is,
likewise, reasonable that the state
sliovild finance other home builders
and developers without regard to
their service records.

Is to be extended to war veterans

Canadian wheat was unthreslied and

deal at times Wednesday to put
strength Into grain values. Upturns
in quotations, however, were not well
maintained owing to comparative
dearth of speculative buying. Be

changed to a rise of 32 cents.

Chicago grain vulucs Wednesday
after an initial downturn. At the

WHO PAYS THE BILL?
In his keynote speech at Salem
Wednesday, Congressman Hawley is
quoted as Jocularly saying "Every
time we have had democrats in of-
lice we have had to pay the bill.'
May we reply in the same Jocular
tone that we thank the profound
statesman who has made such an I
enviable record in rounding tow,
to war-profiteers and m. re-rating ;
hJ.Sld ZS ltl th? uWoodmc" :
of the World for furnishing us
text for a short sermon.
crats were ln office under Wilson i
the nrofiteers "had to uav th bill "
for It was Woodrow Wilson who
placed the excess profits tax upon
the war profiteers to make thein
help pay the cost of the war. His
slogan was "Fight or Pay."
But when Mr. Mellon's party got
into power Hawley helped repeal
the excels profits tax and in turn
placed the burden upon the people
by his billion dollar tariff. He boasts
of It. Not content with repealing
the excess profits tax and lowering
their Income tax rates he asel&ted in
giving back to the profiteers mil
lions upon millions of taxes collect
ed from them in war times. He se
cured proxy votes and approved mil
lions of refunds by himself. Nearly
three billions have been returned to
them by our treasury ln the past
eight years.
The democratic theory of taxa
tion Is to tax the profiteers and to
relieve the masses from the burden.
Men who do the fighting should not
be required to also do the paying
for the profiteers. Mr. Hawley re
duced the taxes of the profiteers and
increased the tax on the people by
his billion dollar tariff. He says "We
do them a real service when we keep
democrats out of office." Whom
does he mean by "Them"?--the war
profiteers or you?
E. W. POWERS
To the Editor: I am the beneficiary
of a policy ln the Woodmen of the
World dated 1895. In all these years
of struggle to pay the assessments
we were told that the organization
was 100 per cent solvent.
Congressman Hawley, one 01 tne
head managers, so certified, year
after year, for which service he was
paid a salary of $1.2(10 for many!
years. Mr. Hawley also receives from
the United States as congressman,
a salary of 110.000 per year.
I think Congressman Hawley 's ac
tions as leader In the back-room of
an Oakland, California hotel In
which he engineered the robbery of
the old members of the Woodmen
ot the World, unfits him to repre
sent the men and women of Oregon.
At this time all death claims were
paid and they did not oxe a dollar
with $9,000,000 in reserve which had
been built up by the old Woodmen
to meet the payment of iheir pol
icies when the end came and not
leave them dependent upra the
county and state.
Shame on you Mr. Hawley! Shame
on you ta be a party to the robbery
of the widows and orphans 01 tne
state of Oregon.
Having been guilty of rich unjust
dealings with brother woodmen, 1
am surprised that 30 of those who
have contributed from $5,000 to 10,
000 have received in return, Inconw
tax rebate payments amounting to
$100,000,000, also the $33,000,000 re
bate to the United States Steel co.
