Mayor C. E. Gates today Issued the following statement on hla removal from the state fair board by Gor. Ben W. Olcott: City of Medford, Oregon, May 31, 1922 Ben W. Olcott, Salem, Ore. Dear Sir: Your letter of May 29th received. and I assure you It waa no surprise to me. I accept it with the realiza tion that politics makes queer crea tures out of the best of men. I sin cerely hope you will not be disap pointed in the additional support you expect to gain by this act. I shall never forget at least the many com pliments you paid me for valuable services rendered during the holding of the last fair, while now I am dis missed for the good of the service. Very truly yours. C. E. GATES. The news contained In Portland newspapers reaching Medford late yesterday afternoon that Governor Olcott had ousted Mayor Gates from the state fair board, effective June 1st, of which he had been such an active and conspicuous member waa a distinct surprise to the local public, but not so much to the mayor him self aa he had long expected some such move by the governor in view of the latter's decided stand against the Ku Klux Klan and his own con nection with the local Klan. Pop received the-newa with good grace, was exceptionally cheerful this forenoon and discussed the govern or's action freely and without rancor with friends, many of whom called at his business quarters this forenoon, lie was also kept busy by Portland newspapers calling up this forenoon, and others from Portland and the north end of the state, about the rumor that he might become an independent candidate for governor.

HOOVER 0 FIX PRICE Secretary of Commerce Takes Hand in Coal Strike Situa tionProfiteering to Be Eliminated if Possible Agreement to Be Made With Coal Operators. WASHINGTON, May 31. Secretary Hoover today assumed the responsibil ity for fixing a reasonable pric on pot coal during the continuance of the present coal strike. . , - viqiuk toe conference nere touay of nnion and non-union operator in th producing field, Mr. Hoover Uf; clared that any agreement between the operator looking toward the fixing of the price of coal, even tboczh In tho Interest of the public, would be illegal. He insists that the operator agree with him upon a reasonable price for coal in their respective districts. . Mr. Hoover suggested the Immediate appointment of committee represent ing each producing district to advise with him upon a fair price for coal in their respective district. He also asked that these committee continue In existence after the determination of a fair price, reporting caaes of unfair charges. ';.: He told the several hundred opera tor at the meeting that production waa now about 6,000.000 tons a week and consumption between 6,000,00 and 8,500,000, thus necessitating with drawals from stock amounting to be tween 3.0G0.OOO and 3.500,000 tpna a week. Production will increase slight ly a time goes on, he said. . Coal price today, Mr. Hoover said, ranged from abont tk dollar and 21 cent to 13.50 a ton at the mine. The public, he continued, should understand that the problem at band is one of almost stupendous difficulty. "What a fair price tor coal is de penda upon condition In each district and where profiteering begins and ends is a question of definite fair price determined upon facts and not upon theories," the secretary told the opera, tor. There Is not, Mr. Hoover ex plained, a single shred of law to en force a fair price or prevent prof lteer inK and the law nrohibita onerators agreeing as to what a fair price may be. , . . "I propose to Inquire through you as to the situation in various districts and I will take the responsibility on my own back and will ask every opera- tor to accept this basis in his own din-, trict," Mr. Hoover told the operator. The agreement, he continued, would be between the operators and the sec retary of commerce and if an operator failed to live up to it. It would be upon his conscience. ' Mr. Hoover's suggestion waa ap proved by A. M. Ogle, president of the National Coal association. -The secretary announced the ap- nointment nf an arivtanrv mnimltUa to begin meeting at once wlt& commit-, tees representing operators In the var ious districts. The committee constats of Mr. Ogle, C. E. Bockus, New York; ; George Otis Smith, director of the geo logical survey; E. A. Holbrook, acting, director of the bureau of mines, and B. A. Hadleigh, chief of the coal divis ion of the commerce department. , Quick action was urged In order that the coal price question might be met at once. Forest Fires SiKCiomlsh. , - EVERETT.
