m;p TEN FURTHER RISE ABOUT DUE IN BUTTER PRICES Portland, Ore., (lP-The price of butler la getting on dangerous ground along the Pacific slope. While advances here have been and are being maintained, appear ances Indicate that the big fel lows with considerable storage goods to sell, are very likely to force a further rise In the price, nils would lay the trade here open to Imports of butter from the midwest, a condition which has not been shown for a great number of years. No change was shown in either cubes or prlnta for the week end session of the produce exchange. Butterfat values are alw Intact. Trading trend In the egg market la quiet. Storage operations arc beginning on a small scale but de mand Is limited. Receipts are lib eral JWlth little fall from the hatch tries. Advance of one cent lb. quoted on cheese by Oregon factories has been generally maintained. In fact the advance has left a very im proved undertone In the trade as well as along the coast Willie there are fairly good sup plies of hens, a shortage of broil er fowls and especially the small Huff weighing 114 lbs. and up. The latter are quoted firm at 28c lb. With Increasing supplies of spring stuff, Columbia river chlnook salmon Is down to 20-22C lb. The totter with heads off. Sturgeon Is the cheapest known for many years at 18-20c lb. Lull in the potato market Is con tinued with a very scant demand ct the source while consuming points report an oversupply of rol lers. Muoh low grade stuff from Yakima Is doing most to create a weakness here. Scarcity of county killed lamb Is generally noted along the wnoie sale way with prices firm but thus far unchanged. Mutton is In can. Veal Is holding while hogs are merely steady.

In a speech over a local radio station, apolo gized "If I have said anything un kind' about President Hoover. The f20,000,000 relief loan compro mise was assailed Friday by Repre .senatlre LaGuardla, republican, New York. He termed It "economically Impossible, politically disastrous, morally Insincere and practically In effective." "I hope the representatives of the farmers In the house will see through this and stand togetlier as we did before," said LaOuardla who Joined the democrats In tlie fight for a direct relief appropriation. If the sponsors of the compdo mise are sincere tn using these funds for tlie lmmdtate relief of drought stricken farmers, said the New Yorker, "they know that they can never be repaid." "If they do Intend to press the farmer until the loon Is paid, then lnsU-ad of having the farmer In destitution for one season we will have him broke, poverty stricken and destitute for ten years."

IIP) An amendment to the Independent offices appro priation bill to prevent, uie iarm board from operatlnn on wheat or cotton exchanges was Introduced Friday by Senator Black. The Alabama democrat, in ouer lng the proposal, said "very few Individuals can get by permanently in the wheat pit or cotton exchan ges without going broke and the government should not be allowed to do this with pudiic money. The appropriation bill carries a provision giving the farm board an additional flOO.000,000. Senator Fess said he was not sure the farm board's operations had been a success, and added he was "distressed" over what the outcome of the board's operations would be. "It Is a difficult problem," be said, "and while It Is an experi ment, I am not sure It la a suc cess." Senator McKellar. democrat. Tennessee, asserted the board's ad ministration of the cotton problem had been a failure and had "In jured the farmer to a tremendous degree." HOOVER IN QUARREL OYER A JUDGESHIP (Continued from page 1) publican house delegation from Minnesota. With Schall adamant, Minnesota politicians agree there Is a stirring fight In prospect over selection of delegates to the republican national convention next year. The president's unusual action, a letter direct to the senator upon a matter of patronage has aroused widespread political Interest In Washington. In the letter, Mr. Hoover took notice of the possibil ity of Minnesota republicans Insti tuting a fight against him. "I am aware of tlie Implications which have been made of reprisals against this administration If I fall to agree to this appointment," the letter stated. "My conception of my responsibilities does not, how ever, permit of my placing the ap pointment of Judges on this basis.' The president pointed out that Attorney General Mitchell and oth. ers objected to Michel, adding: "It Is apparent that I have an Independent obligation as president to nominate men for' the federal Judiciary who are not subject to any question as to their fitness." Some observers saw in the rift the possibility of more immediate con- sequence than the political effect next year, scnau nas been aligned with the Independent republican group only intermittently. He has Joined the administration support ers upon many occasions, partlcu larly in the Vare case. Should he choose to align him selft permanently with the Norrls Lafollctte adherents, their ranks would receive a valuable Increase. Should he choose to vote with the democrats In organization of the next senate, he might prevent the administration from holding control of that body, because the strength ot tne two parties in the senat Is so close that control Is In doubt. NO PUMPKIN PACK BY OREGON PACKING Decision that the Oregon Pack ing company will put up no pump kin pack next fall has been made by his company, states Ray Hoff man, local buyer, and he la to notify all of his growers to that ef fect. News of the fact that there probably would be no pumpkin pack the coming year came a few weeks ago but It was not known at the time whether there mieht be some countermand to the original order, but he states that apparent ly the decision Is now Irrevocable as far as the local cannery Is con cerned. There Is every probability that no bean pack will be put up by the company, also, although a remote chance remains that there may still be something done along that line. Tlie company has handled a good share of beans from the West Stayton district but It has a heavy pack slill on the shelves and the market situation Is none too bright for moving them, It Is stated SEATTLE ESKIMOS DEFEAT LIONS, 6-4 8eattle W In the biggest scoring game of the season the Seattle Es kimos conquered tlie Vancouver Li ons II to 4 In a whirlwind finish here Friday night to go into a tie with the Canadian club for first place In the Pacific coast hockey league.

MEIER RE3UKES HOSS FOR LATTERS PROTEST (Continued from page U of keeping the state's records and auditing Its accounts. It was never contemplated, under our iorm oi government, that the secretary of stat should enforce any of the criminal laws of the state, traffic or otherwise. "Whether the state police measure shall be enforced by the secretary of state, the state treasurer, me at torney general or the executive, Is a question in wnicn I am noi vit ally concerned. "I am. however, vitally interested In the financial saving that may be made for the beneilt of the tax payers by the enactment of this measure, and In the effective law enforcement and suppression of crime, and the respect for the law that may be brought about by the consolidation of the several special law enforcement agencies Into single law enforcement department consistent with a business admin istration." The governor points out that It now costs over 1.000.000 a year to enforce the fish, game, forestry prohibition and traffic laws, and that $372,640 "is expended by you as secretary of state In the enforce ment ot traffic laws, and an addi tional 8200.000 Is expended by the highway department In the en forcement o' the same traffic laws. Certainly neither you nor anyone else can logically contend that such a division . . . can De especially conducive to efficiency." The governor says that he "con servatively estimates" that the bill would save 1250.000 year In ad ministration, "which saving alone ought to be sufficient to lni'tice you to be willing to surrender up a func tion which . . . never properly be longed to your office." Referring to Hoss statement that he had made a considerable study of crime, and that he doubted whether crime would be reduced by a state police system, the governor says: "You axe. of course, entitled to ; your opinion . . but I wish to remind you that under the present system our penitentiary, which you, as a member of the board of control, have administered for several years. Is now over-populated to the extent 1 that It was necessary for tlie emer- gency board to provide funds for i additional facilities, and that there I is now a demand for more funds ; for the same purpose. I "It Is my opinion that the slate : police system . . . will not only ma- ; terlally reduce the population In j our state prison, but In our county ' and municipal jails, and will avoid , the necessity tor additional prison facilities and will reduce taxes."
