VHR CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM. OREGON MONDAY, JANUARY 30, 1033 T REMAINS FIRM Portland, Jan. 30 (LP) PractlcnHy loo change in the market for butter was shown for the week's opening 01 the regular market. Cubes and prints alike were unchanged with demand best for standard grade on account of the one cent differential between tiint and extra. Trading in the egg market was without special change for the week's owning. Price shading ap pcara less keen but still exists In volume sufficient to keep the un dertone from improving. Call for turkey hens continues the best in the trade here with bulk of the tops moving 14-15c lb. Toms are not so good but retain their pre vious range of lc below hens, but most of the sales are at the low mark. Parkdale section appears anxious to move potatoes and is offering some shaded prices below Deschutes. Bales to Jobbers are being made 75c for No. 1 compared with 00c gen erally a-sked for Deschutes. Sales of tlie latter a trifle slower. Severe storms in California have almost caused a suspension of veg etable carload shipments with a shortage of offers in this direction. All bunched stock Is very scarce here as a result. Market for cabbage reflects a gen erally easier tone locally as a re cult of Increased movement out of the south. Sales in general are be ing made no higher than 3c for California. Local is unchanged. California tangerines are being offered (1.50 lug. Hothouse rhubarb Is easier and lower in spots. Some holdovers. Artichokes have advanc ed to $4.75 box as expected. Tomatoes are rather slow sale and especially for hothouse with Mexi cans taking the bulk of the business. Country killed meats of all sorts were cleaned up insofar as quality was concerned. URGE PROBE OF POWER RATES Authority would be given the pub lic utilities commissioner of Oregon to Investigate the reasonableness of rates for electric energy to discover whether the very low rates now be ing charged large users are not be low the cost of production and transmission and to ascertain If there is any discrimination against the home owner and small user of power under a house joint resolu tion introduced by Representative Lewis, of Multnomah county. He specifically points out the rate of $27 per horsepower per annum and other low rates quoted in the sched ules of the Portland General Electric company and the Northwestern Electric company may be below their costs of generating and delivering the power. The commissioner Is to report on his findings at the speci fied voltages for 1929 to lfm inclus ive for both companies. If he llnds such descrimlnatlon does exist, ord ers should be issued fixing equitable rates for both classes of users. Powers to levy taxes and incur indebtedness would be exercised sub ject to limitations and control may be provided by general law, un der a proposed amendment to the constitution and brought be tore the legislature in a house joint resolu tion by Representative Clarke and Senator Fisher. Provision may also be made by general law for systems of accounting, auditing of. finances and forms of budgets of the state, all counties, municipalities and dis tricts. Continuation of CALIFORNIA FLOOD (from page one) pass over the Sierra Nevada moun tains, lay under more than 12 fret of snow. Efforts of the California highway department to rcjx'at the accomplishment of last year when the htahway was kept open for the first time throughout the winter were at least temporarily blocked. Snow plows and other equipment were snowed under. Nine Fort Bragg, Calif.. youths, members of a basketball team. were rescued from a snowbound ranch home where they took shel ter Saturday after their automo bile, in which they were traveling to another town, stalled in the drifts. Gales and high water along the Oregon coast were reported sub siding. Showers continued to fait at Portland and valley points while the interior highlands received more snow, making two highways Hear Burns impassable Light snow fell at Seattle, Wash., last night and storm conditions pre vailed over the state. The United States weather bu reau predicted the Pacific coast states and Nevada and Idaho might expect more snow and rain today and tomorrow, TWO CHILDREN DIE IN BURNING HOUSE Boise, Ida., Jan. 30 w.b Two chil- dren were burned to death yester- ; day when trapped In a flaming rail- I road section house alongside the 1 Union Pacific railroad, 18 miles from Boise. The dead: William Plumb, Jr., S, and John Plumb, 3. The father, William Plumb, Sr., was severely burned while striving to save the children. An elder child, aged 6, escaped. The parents had left the house to visit neighbors. Later they saw their domicile on fire. By the time they returned, the structure was en veloped by flames and the two smallest children were irretrievably trapped. The fire originated from an overheated stove. !

Jan. 30 (JP) A fire, aid to have been the most disastrous in the history of this city razed the Commercial building here Sunday and caused damage esti mated at nearly $100,000. The structure, located at Second nnd Main streets, housed a grocery store, dry goods store, meat market and other business firms on the ground floor and lawyers and doc tors offices above. Starting in the rear of MacMarr's store at 1:15 a. m., the flames broke Into Miller's dry goods store and from there swept up to the second floor and on to the roof. Stubbornly resisting the efforts of the local and Forest Grove depart ments, the fire burned throughout the day. Loss of a large part of the law library of E. B. Tongue, who was district attorney of Washington county for more than a quarter of century and of Thomas Tonque, Jr., referee in bankruptcy, could not be definitely estimated. The library was started by Thomas Tongue, Sr., when he began practice In 1869 and contained thousands of volumes, some now out of print and irre placeable. The building, a two-story brick structure, was owned principally by Etl Schulmerlch, president of the Commercial National bank. It was valued nt $48,000, but insurance of only $19,000 was carried on it. GRiBBLE AGAIN JERSEY CLUB HEAD H. L. Gribble, Cnnby, was re elected president and W. S. Bartlett, Snlcm, secretary of the Oregon Jef sey Cuttle club, which held its an nual meeting in Salem Saturday, Levi H. McKee, Pcrrydnle, was nam ed vice-president. 'A trophy for the best Jersey show staged by any county club was of fered at the meeting by W. F. Rol lins, Portland, nnd the Marion coun ty club which won the membership silver cup last year offered to make this a perpetual tropy for tatc competition. The club also went on record as favoring a four-cent tax on oleo and resolutions to this effect will be sent to the legislature. The club also will send resolu tions as to the matter of appro priations for premiums and Max Gchlhnr, head of the department or agriculture, who was present, urg ed the club to give him an idea as to the minimum requirements ade quate for premiums at the state fair. Levi H. McKee. Ivan H Laughary and Sidney Miller were named as a committed to discuss Oils matter with the state board of agriculture and the Joint ways and means committee of the legis lature.

FARM AID PLAN AS DESTRUCTIVE Washington, Jon. 30 MP) A sen ate committee was told tdoay that the Institute of American Meat Packers had sent out between tw and three hundred thousand clr cular letters asking hog producer and commission men to protest against, me domestic allotment act. O: F. Swift, president of Swift and Company and head of the public relations committee of the institute, was questioned about the circular after he had told the agri. culture committee the plan if an piled to hogs would cause n 100 per cent increase in the cost of ham and bacon and harm the farmer, He said the letter asked grow ers and commission men to protest to their congressmen or the chair man of the house and senate agri culture committees. Swift said he saw no hope for a better price for the hog producer until the buying power was stored to city residents. At about the same time. Paul Bestor, farm loan commissioner, was nutting before the senate fi nance committee opposition. pressed by Secretary Mills in a let ter to the Frazier bill to refinance farm mortgages. The letter said the plan proposed by the measure would disrupt the farm land bank and federal currency systems and have harmful results on the Uon's currency system. Destruction of the dally cash market for hogs if the bill should pass was predicted by Swift. "You can get & fixed price for a portion of the hug supply," he said, "but you simply make the balance of the supply unmarket able. "Inasmuch as fresh pork Is high ly perishable, the packer is always In the position of having to sell, and sell promptly; but the consumer is never In the position of having to buy pork. He can always substi tute other foods. "I hope you realize what the ef fect of artificially advancing the cost of hogs to the packing Industry by law would be. The packing in dustry would necessarily be obliged to reduce materially its purchases of hogs. W. R. Ronald, editor of the Evening Republican, Mitchell, S. D. and one of the pioneers in devel oping of the voluntary domestic al lotment plan, took the stand In sup port of the bill. "This bill," he said, "takes notice not merely of the present general depresston, but of the agricultural depression which began in 1021 and has continued since that time. "In the years 1921 to 1930 on Just a few of the farm commodities the farmer was deprived of over $10,000,000,000 purchasing power as measured by pre-war conditions, So this is not an emergency problem but one that has been In existence since 1921, "This is not a sales tax. It is merely restoration to the farmer of the purchasing power that has been taken away from him in the last ten years." Replying to questions before the banking committee, Bestor said the farm board last year extended 93,000 loans out of 402,000 and added that the farm loan banks had about 12 per cent of the farm mortgages and the Joint stock land banks about six per cent more making a total of 18 per cent. Frazier told the committee he felt that loans up to 80 per cent of the value of the property at one and one half per cent Interest "will be safer than 50 per cent loons at five and one half per cent interest" as at present. Chicago. Jan. 30 tff Report that the British premiers advisers pre dicted wheat price advances further along in the season had a general strengthening effect on breadstuffs late today. There were also Washington offi clal reports that wheat consumption in Europe had not been reduced to any great extent by high import duties on various countries. A de crease of the United States visible supply brought the total down to 153,6114,000 bushels, against 204,298,- 000 a year ago. Wheat closed firm M to 3-8 abov yesterday's finish, corn unchanged to lower; oats down, and pro visions unchanged to 5c decline. Downturns predominated in grain values early today. The weakness was associated with the uncertain ties in financial and legislative cri- clcs and with 3,500,000 bushels in crease of the amount of wheat on ocean passage. Opening at M de cline to a shade advance, wheat later sagged all around. Com start ed unchanged to H lower and sub sequently held near the Initial 11m 1U.

(Associated Press Photo) ARREST FOUR PETTY THIEVES OVER WEEKEND Through the arrest of four men over the weekend, city police be lieve they have Just about cleaned up tne perpetrators of virtually every case of house robbery in Sa lem over a period of several months. Just recently another group of four or five were taken Into custody with the result much merchandise was returned to the owners.

FROZEN SQUAW THOUGHT SLAIN Klamath Falls, Jan. 30 (&) Word from United States district attor ney was awaited by Klamath county authorities today before pro ceeding with an investigation of the death of Josephine Jackson 24-year old Klamath Indian, whose body, bruised and frozen, was brought here yesterday from Beatty. Edison Duffy, young Indian, is held In jail here in connection with the woman's death. Duffy was arrested at the Sagebrush country home of Anderson Faith ful, where Duffy had called Sat urday night to report that the Jackson woman had sat down in the snow and refused to go farther with him. Faithful called county and state officers, who brought the body to Klamath Falls. Here Dr. George H. Adler, county coroner, conducted an autopsy and reported evidences of severe abdominal injuries which he said would have caused the woman's death if she had not frozen to death in the snow. The case probably will be turned over to federal authorities and in structions have been asked of U. District Attorney George Neu- ner of Portland. HOPS MARK TIME WAITING BEER BILL Outside of 20-ccnt three year hop contracts hitherto listed, the hop situation remains about the same with March 4 being looked forward to as the date which may stimu late trade and bring back a rising market with heavy demand. A letter Just received by a local hop dealer from an English cor respondent contains an Interesting paragraph In which the correspond ent states that English hops still continue to be the cheapest hops In the world. He points out that the values of the English hops left range from 8 to 10 pounds per 125 pounds first cost. Oregon's at 26 cents per pound are equal In Lon don with freight and duty paid to 13 pounds, 13 shillings for the same quantity of hops while continentals delivered In London cost 13 to 21 pounds per 100 pounds. He states that stocks of hops in England arc light and adds "so Is the sale of beer." Tomopah. Nev.

"9, Additional slashes now pro posed in the legislature would re duce total income to little more than half that of the normal 1929 30 biennlum. "10. The only way to meet such cuts would be to close some insti tutions outright or cripple all be yond the point of recovery for a decade or more." lihe board statement of the pres ent situation and that which will exist if proposed legislative action is taken, has been printed in pam phlet form for distribution to the public and to members of the legis lature. In it the board reviewed the steps taken during the past two years to meet the heavy reduction in income. "Deeply conscious of the econom io distress that has overtaken the people of the state, the board has endeavored to shape all its policies in the direction of utmost economy," the statement said. "In the fact of rapid diminishing funds from regu larly established sources of income, the board early determined on a policy of rigorously reducing expen ditures to keep within this reduced income, and to request no special appropriations from the 1933 legis lature." Income from all sources for high er education during the biennlum 1929-30 was (9,439,330, the board said. For the biennlum 1931-32 the total was $7,412,324, a decrease of $2,027,012, or 21.5 percent. Income estimated by the board in Its pro posed budget for the 1933-34 bien nlum is $6,426,944, making a total reduction of $3,012,392 of 32 percent. On a similar basis reduction in funds from state sources totaled 20.8 percent for the 1931-32 biennlum and will be 28.8 under normal for 1933-34 even it present authorized income Is left uncnanged. "Through elimination of staff members and through salary reduc tions, the complete payroll includ ing both salaries and wages for In stitutions was reduced from a total of $6,292,034 in the biennlum 1929 30 to an estimated $4,766,330 for 1933-34, or 24.3 per cent. In this process of lopping off salary items, staff reductions for the current year and proposed eliminations for the next biennlum will aggregate 140 full time people. In addition, elim- j matlon of other employes brings the total above 200," the statement declared. Salary reductions tvere first 5 to 15 per cent and later 9 to 27 per cent. Analyzing the proposed additional cuts in Income which would aggre gate $1,308,898 If the continuing ap propriations lor agricultural re search and extension were discon tinued and a million dollars divert ed from the millage, the board de clared it then would be faced with the impossible task of operating the institutions on a total Income 45.8 per cen below the 1929-30 fig ure, and with state Income cut to less than half the former amount. "If Institutions are to be closed and major services discontinued, which ones?" the board asked in conclusion. "The people through their representatives, established them; they must determine whether they continue or not."

As physi cians sought to learn today what caused the death of Snra Tcasdale, noted lyrlo poet, her friends pre pared to scatter her ashes on the sea Wednesday. Miss Teasdale, whoso verses won critical acclaim, was found dead yesterday in her Flflh avenue apart ment. Her body lay In a bathtub filled with warm water. She was 48 years old. Whether death was due to drown ing or a heart attack was a ques tion that waited upon an nutop.-iy today. A nurso who cared for her during a nervous breakdown, which followed an attack of pneumonia, said Miss Teasdale had questioned her about ways to commit suicide. "Sonnets to Duse and Other ro ems," published In 1907, was her first work to attract attention. "Helen of Troy and Other Poems," "Rivers to the Sea," "Love Songs," (which won the 1917 Pulitzer prize) "Flame and Shadow" and "Dark of the Moon," wero among her other works. One of the poems In "Love Songs" was: "I Shall Not Care." It reads: "When I am dead and over me bright April shakes out her rain drenched hair, Though you should lean above m broken-hearted, I shall not care. I shall have peace, as leafy trees arc peaceful when rain bends down the bough; And I shall be more silent and cold hearted than you are now." She had been working recently on a biography of Christina Rosetti. Continuation of- LEGISLATURE (from page one) convinced that the members will not extend the session beyond its constitutional limit, may call an other special session to convene immediately upon adjournment of the regular session and to extend for such period of the 20 days al lotted to special sessions as may be required to clean up the legisla ture's work in an orderly manner. In this respect the members who have suggested the plan are mak ing no bones about the fact that they do not relish the Idea of stay ing on and on after the 40 days of compensation have expired Like most everyone else they are suffer ing from the depression, and few of them are able to make ends meet on the $3 a day they receive; not even those who havo their wives on the payroll as clerks. Finan cially, the avcraso member this year is more poorly equipped to stand the strain of a prolonged stay away from home than is us ually the case. Their prime motive, however, in seeking to force adjournment after 40 days is to speed up the work. They are growing restive and openly disgusted and discouraged at the seeming Inability of the committees to come to agreement upon the principal bills'. Only one bill that with any Justi fication can be classed as dealing with major legislation has been re ported out by the committees of either house. That is the so-called Meier bill dealing Willi unemploy ment, which would set up an offi cial state unemployment commis sion, reported back to the house this morning. The senate has devoted most ol its time to debating resolutions and memorials that serve w real pur pose other than to give potential senators, congressmen, governors and what-have-you a chance to or ate at length, most upon matten foreign to the subject under dis cussion. Aspiring presidents of the next senate have also been con splcious by their oratory along with one or two members of the Mult nomah county delegation who are credited with mayorality ambitions Another thing the new members ore becoming wise to is the futility of most of the so-called public hear ings demanded and held on this and the other thing. They seem to be awakening to the realization that public hearings serve the prin cipl purpose of Justifying the exist ance of some lobbyists 'who other wise would not be cluttering up the lobby and bescicins members to in troduce all kinds of bills. ciYeTIiLno SAVE CHILD'S LIFE Funeral services will be held Wednesday for Phyllis Dahlcn, 3, of this city, who died early Sunday morning after heroic attempts to save her from pneumonia.
