ANTI-TRUST QU
IZ
OF CHI STORES
WASHINGTON', April IS. W)
A move, to investigate the prac
tices of chain store orRanlstntions
to determine if they constitute a
violation of the federal anti-trust
laws, was Initiated in the house
today In a measure introduced
by Representative Stobbs, repub
lican, Massachusetts.
The measure would instruct the
federal trade commission to in
vestiRato chain organizations in
reference to the purchase and
the sale of merchandise and
whether such practices consti
tute a violation of tho
anti-trust law, . - -
However, duo to the fact that be
tween 1500 and 2000 rcRlstiation
cards have been cancelled, either
because the voters had moved
away or died, the new registra
tions will not mean such a big
Increase as was at first thought.
Perhaps the main interest In
the county candidacies will lie
between county clerk's office and
the office of county school su
perintendent, each of which have
f.our candidates, with tho parly
nfflliation of all the candidates
being republican In tho former.
Theyh are as follows:, Delilla
Stevens Meyer, present Incumbent;
I!. It. Carter of Talent and A. J.
Close and C. T. Parker of MeU
ford. .......
Of the candidates for school
superintendent, one is a democrat.
Haymoml Cornwell of .Medford,
while the others are .republicans
and are: Susunne Homes Carter
of Jacksonville. v. A. Davis of
Medford and O. W. Milam of
HoRuo liiver.
Three candidates are in the
field for the sheriffs office, with
Rnlph G. Jennings, incumbent.
running on tho democratic ticket
and George Alden and Charles
Stack of Medford running on . the
republican ticket.
The only other competition that
exists in county candidacies, lies
between J. C. Iove and Victor
Bm-sell, both of Central Point,
who filed on the republican ticket
for nomination for the office of
county commissioner, now held
by Victor Bursell.
A. C. AValker has no competi
tion In his filing on the. republi
can ticket for another ' term us
county treasurer nnd likewise J.
H. Coleman of the same party
will have no competition in run
ning for the assessor's office,
which ho now holds. Outside of
H. W. Conger, republican, no other
candidates filed for- county coro
ner, which office Conger has held
for the past term. G. J. T'res-
cott filed on the republican ticket
for constable for the Medford
justice district and also has no
competition.
Keen competition is expected.
however,
attorney,
by tho fact that the city's credit is
very sood because of the policy of
retiring so' many bonds for years
past, and the administration's last
progress In straightening up of the
assessment situation.
While the bond sale will be ad
vertised in Medford and Portland
newBiiapers, the probabilities are
that tho bonds will be purchased
by Medl'ord bankers, as local In
vestors seem to regard the city
bonds as very desirable because of
the good credit of the city.
The council did not act on tho
request of one of the city's jewel
ers to have an ordinance pnssed
based on the Portland ordinance
covering the subject in that city, to
place restrictions on local Jewelry
auction sales, especially during the
month of December, as tho local
jewelers are divided on the mat
ter. One of the jewelers last nilit
in advocating the passage of such
an ordinance, intimated tho jewel
ers were united In favoring it,
whereupon two other local jewelry
merchants present got up and de
clared their opposition to such a
proposed ordinance. The council
then referred the matter-to its li
cense committee.
Today it was learned that the
jeweler who favored it last night
will not drop the matter, and will
endeavor to have the local mer
chants' association line up back of
such a proposed ordinance.
The council decided to hold a
special meeting next Tuesday night
with the Sixth street appraisal
board to discuss and take action on
tho board's assessments to pay for
thooifenlEf? of that Btreat and Im
provement work on it since.
, Fred Scheffel, city superintend
ent and engineer for years past,
tendered his resignation to-the
council, to take place within 110
days, as ho desires to dnvote his
entire time to the service station
which he and associates own nt
Sixth .and Fir streets. The coun
cilmeu promptly tabled the resig

that later they will be able to per
suade Mr. Scheffel to remain lu

of Medford is the only democratic
candidate to file. A clo.-. race.

Mrs. Nellls Tayloe Hoss, former
governor of Wyoming, apparently
doesn't Intend to obey tho "no
trespassing" sign hung out by the
Women's Democratic league of
Southern California.
In Los Angeles to open a tour
of California in tho interests of
Governor Al Smith's candidacy for
the democratic nomination for
president, Mrs. Hoss was notified
yesterday by the lengue that It
protested an "outsider's campaign
ing In our state In behalf of one
group of candidates contesting In
a California primary."
To which Mrs. Itoss declared:
"1 hnve come to California at the
Invitation of Governor Smith's
friends here. In doing so I vlo
late neither the letter nor the
spirit of the primary law or good
political ethics."
Determined to give her daugh
ter a good education and social
advantages, . Mrs. Garret F. Wat
son ran a rooming house in
'Washington to pay expenses.
Now her daughter, Miss Margue
rite (Peggy), is reported engaged
to wed Prince Charles Philippe,
the Duke de Nemours. .The
prince's uncle, ' King Albert of
Belgium, is said to be opposed to
the marriage, but the prince de
clares if he does not obtain royal
consent to marry ho will marry
anyway and go to work to sup
port his bride.

Rates and service of the J'ortlund
Fleet ric Power company and the,
Northwestern Electric company are
to he investigated immediately by
tile state public service commis-;
sion. The order was issued yes- i

Prior to tho recent special vote j
in Portland on tho question of a ;
merger of the two companies, tho
commission issued an order reduc-1
in: rates in event the merger car- j
lied. Its failure automatically nulli-1
tied the order.
Whether a reduction of rates fol-'
lows the investigation now ordered ,
is a matter of conjecture.
The commission bus started the ;
Inquiry by asking the two com-
punicH for inventories of tbyir pro- I
pel-ties, on which will be based up- 1
to-dute valuations by the commis
sion, j
