' Confusion.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. A promi
nent house Republican from New
England recently sent letters to 100
Republican business men In his dis
trict, asking advice about how he
should act In this session of congress.
He is taking no chances on getting
in trouble with his constituents.
The early replies suggested he re
sist any trend toward radicalism, but
co-operate generally wTth Roosevelt.
But that Is beside the point.
The main Idea Is that It shows
clearly the confusion some Republl
cans are suffering.
Leader.
The dominant man In the picture
backstage Is McNary of Oregon. He
is the senate leader for the minority
party.
It is too early to start picking presl
dential candidates for 1936, but if you
are Inclined to make any long ahot
beta, McNary la the man to back. He
Is the counselor of patience amidst
the confusion.
When a press association was gath
erlng comment on the political out
look a few days ago, he was the only
one wise enough to' say nothing. He
does his talking mostly when he gets
hia Republican friends around him. If
you could listen In, you would hear
him say that watchful co-operation
Is NOT only the most sensible, but
also the political thing to do. He
! a very practical man. He has been
In the game long enough to know
nothing Is to be gained by starting
the shooting so early and so openiy.
Issues will bob up during the ses
sion which will generate spontaneous
opposition.
He Is smart enough to wait for
those Instead of starting opposition
position.
Chances.
Through the political spyglass, you
can plainly see that the presidential
prospects of McNary are on sound
ground. It will probably do him no
good to have that aired around. His
competitors may start putting plna
In his chair. But you can note how
obvious his chances are when you
call the roll of ellgiblea.
The next Republican nominee will
have to be a man who can get the
west away from Roosevelt, and at the
same time pacify the conservative
eastern element of the party. That
combination Is needed to win.
Atl the other m?n mentioned now
are easterners with eastern recordi
Mills. Snell, Wadsworth, Edge, Gov
ernor Wlnant. McNary's only serious
western competitor, Borah, will not
be a candidate. The others do not
measure up. A miracle would have
to happen to bring Hoover Into focus,
Background.
Also McNary Is NOT labeled by any
particular faction of his party He
insurrected against Coolidge and
Hoover on farm relief and many other
things
He has always been personally
friendly with the LaFollette-Norris
clan, Hiram Johnson, the conserve
tire Young Turks, and even the Hlllea,
Watson, Saunders boys. His record on
legislation Is Just as open-minded
He lacks national prominence, but
he will get that as senate leader
during the next two years.
Gold.
Additional confirmation now la
available on the Inside showing the
federal reserve board balked mildly
on giving up their gold In their se
rrrt meeting here a few weeks ago.
They made no threats to hold back
their gold If the president devalues,
but suggested to him quietly that if
he wants the gold, he had better get
authority from congress to take it.
In other words, they will surrender
their gold to the treasury whtn the
aonar is aevaiueo. ou. iney warn
law specifically requiring them to.
Mr. Roosevelt will accommodate
them by getting a law.
.(Jot hen.
There was a wholly different at
mosphere about the opening of this
session of congress.
You could notice It In many little
ways. The usual starch of formality
was missing. Frock coats were rare.
Only five senators wore talis and evn
fewer members of the house. Most
wore soft collars and business suits.
One senator (Nely of West Virginia)
wore a yellow one.
People outside of Washington will
not appreciate the significance of this
fact, but all old timers here will.
Ordinarily more than half the sena
tors and a third of the representa
tives dress up for the opening day.
The congressmen noted the in
formality of the Roosevelt at the
White House and desired to follow
suit. Th7 noted Mrs. Roosevelt in
plain cloth sltttng In the gallery
with Slitie crawling over her tap.
But whn the president came in,
he was all dresed up In formal attire,-

ORDERS DEPOTS

State Officials Fix Prices
Here Pending Meeting
Within Three or Four
Days for Permanent Action
Following months of negotiating
here, aimed to bring about a uniform
price on milk, which would necessi
tate an increase In the price charged
at milk depots, action was taken up
state today, transferring the matter
from local Jurisdiction, when the Ore
gon State Milk Control board set
prices for the Medford as well as the
Portland area.
The tentative schedule for the Med
ford district provides for a five cent
raise In the price per gallon, charged
at milk depots, of which there are
three in and adjoining Medford.
Where 25 cents a gallon Is now being
charged the state control board de
mands that 30 cents be charged. One
depot reported tht change In price
made this afternoon, and It was
understood that the proprietors of all
milk depots were endeavoring to gain
special concession up north. One
depot, It was reported, had emphati
cally announced that the price In
crease would not be made.
Await Information.
Another, when Interviewed, stated
that the price would be increased If
the special provision could not be
gained from the Milk Control board,
adding that no change would be made
until further Information was ob
tained from the north. The Wyant
depot later announced that the price
had been Increased to 30 cents a
gallon and 10 cents a quart.
Milk Inspector C. W. Austin, when
questioned regarding the situation,
stated that he had no Jurisdiction in
the matter, had received no Instruc
tions from the north and would take
no action toward enforcement of the
new ruling here.
It was understood from another
source that an official from the state
dairy and food commission would be
in Medford this afternoon or tomor
row to enforce the provision of the
state milk control ruling.
$1.90 to Producer.
The other prices established pro
vide for 11.90 per 100 pounds to the
producers; wholesale to stores, eight
cents a quart; cash and carry and
doorstep delivery 10 cents.
These prices constitute no change
over those now prevailing In most In
stances so no increase or decrease in
the price of milk to consumers from
other sources other than the depots is
expected.
Two depots, Llndy's and Wyant's,
are operated within the city limit
and Lockwood's between Medford and
Jacksonville.
PORTLAND, Ore., Jan. 5. (AP)
The Oregon state milk control board
today completed Its schedule of prices
for the Portland area, and had set
tentative schedule for the Medford
district, it was said today, although
the Portland range was not to be an
nounced until a meeting had been
held some time today with a con
sumers' committee.
E. G. Harlan, chairman of the con
trol board, explained that the tem
porary schedule designated for Med
ford was to exist only until the board
can meet there, probably within three
or four days, for a hearing at which
definite and permanent prices will be
established. Temporary prices were
made, he said, merely to ameliorate
a tendency toward uncertainty In
that area.
Meanwhile, dealers In the Port
land milk shed and In other sections
of the state were receiving applica
tions from the board. These applica
tions cost $1 and must be signed, re
turned and approved by the board.
The dealer must agree to all terms
imposed by the board.
Chairman Harlan explained that
If any dealer sells or offers to sell, or
buys or offers to buy milk at a price
not approved by the board, his li
cense will be taken from him. No
unlicensed person may deal In milk.
Slx hundred feet will be cut off the
top of Oregon mountain In California
by hydraulic sluicing, to make w.y
for the Redding -Eureka automobile
highway.

SALEM, Jan. 5. ( AP) The an
nounced policy of the state liquor
control commission that it would
purchase liquor directly and not
through the state board of control,
and Its recent discussion of whether
or not the main office of the commis
sion would be located at Salem, have
given rise to controversy among the
legal fraternity In Salem and several
state officials.
As far as the location of the main
office la concerned, the act under
which the commission was formed
and le operating specifically states
In section 4 that the "principal of
fice of the commission shall be in
the city of Salem." Location In any
other place would be contrary to law.
Precedent Set.
A precedent In the establishment of
n state office elsewhere and ordered
returned was found ln926. when the
circuit court here Issued a mandamus
against the state banking department
ordering removal of the department
from Portland to Salem.
The case was brought by George
Putnam, editor and publisher of the
Capital Journal at Salem, against
Frank C. Bramwell, then superinten
dent of banks. The decree. Issued by
Judge G. F. Sklpworth, ordered the
department to be located at Salem.
At that time the principal office had
been established at Portland. The
mandamus order declared the office
must be located at the state capital,

meantime the administration changed
and the offices removed to Salem, so
the case was dismissed.
Purchasing Moot Point.
Differences of opinion have arisen.
however, over the purchase of liquor
by the commission rather than
through the state purchasing de
partment over which the board or
control has full authority.
Some attorneys hold with the com
mission in Its stand that It -has the
sole right to purchase all liquor be
cause of the act, which specifies in
section 13 that the commission shall
have the "exclusive right to purchase"
any liquors, and further In section
0, that the commission's functions,
duties and powers lnchide "to buy,
. . . In Its own name" alcoholic
liquor.
Further arguments In favor of the
commissions' stand la that the repeal
ing clause of the act, found in sec
tion 61, sets out that all "acts or
parts of acts In conflict with the
provisions of this act are hereby re
pealed." Opponents of the stand, In con
sideration of the wording of the act,
hold to the fact' that the law au
thorizing the state board of control
to purchase all supplies and equip
ment for all state agencies was not
specifically repealed. They further
state that this act la not In conflict
since giving the commission exclu
sive right to purchase docs not mean
It must purchase directly..

' No Move by Medford.
There has been no move on the
part of this city, Medford officials
pointed out, to take out of the state's
hands the control of hard liquor.
There was also no desire to over
throw the Knox bill as a whole, but
to keep for the cities the license

1. TliHt .Roosevelt handled
tlint congress yesterday just
like a mother tvould a fretting
baby.
Just when another mother

lidn't tell 'cm a single thing to
do. Just slipped 'cm all a piece
of candy. (The little black Re
publican babies along with the
white ones) and he left 'em
feeling that mother had confi
dence in 'em and they were all
just tickled to death, rolling on
the floor, with their toes in
their mouth and goo-goo-ing at
each other.
