The California market commission's plans to take charge of distributing tho state's agri cultural products does not violate anti trust laws and it will be placed in im mediate operation, Chairman Weinstock of the commission said today. Weinstock came here a few dayB ago to consclt with the department of jus tice and tho federal trade commission concerning the plan. In brief, the plan provides for ware housing crops and financing them through favorable loans in New York; moroo er, it proposes a campaign to get an enormous business in the United States and South American markets. Afti r getting his plans all made, Weins.ock heard they might bo held a violation of anti-trust laws in view of the conbination feature to control and expand markets. The decision, given him, may have an important effect on other combina tions if similar nature throughout the country. Weinstock hailed the opin ion as of being of vast import to Cali fornia, inasmuch as sho has had only a small portion of the South American trade, and moreover her growers have been forced to seek money at high rates or else often times dump their products ou the market before the dry ing season started. Dried fruit men. however, will not be the only ones who will benefit by the proposal, for the commission plans to embrace all forms of agi'icultcral men. '' Under tho law, Attorne General Oreeorv was unable to approvo or dis approve directly (he state plan, but innsmnch as he pointed out no illegal ities, Weinstock took his answer to be i a virtual approval. "Hence, convinced that the proposed combination is not prohibited and act ing on the advice of Attorney General Webb of California, Weinstock pro poses to go ahead. Weinstock will leave for San Fran cisco tomorrow, and will at once call a meeting of producers' to start tho dis tribution bcrean. Officials of the federal trade com mission, the market bureau of the de partment of agriculture and other fed eral agencies consulted by Weinstock were sympathetic with his proposals. Prohibitionists of County Organize for Campaign Marion county prohibitionists held on December 29 n county conference to oriranize in anticipation of tho com init campaign. A three session day was none too long for tho speakers nnl the business on hand. A seat is com fortable or uncomfortable according to the person occupying the platform. None of the seats became tiresonio dur ing tho day, Among tho speakers, L. it. Ratlil'f, Richard Helm, Mr. Snter and A. J. Cooir i-roucht forth the ideas which met with the hearty approval of those present. Following Is a general trend of the tail's. The good element of one leading party cannot be drawn into the other leading pnrty. Me must draw tho good element of both. A dry republican or a good demo crat will not do. The party and the man's principle will disagree. If he lives up to iiis principle his party will turn him dowii; if puts his principle into his pocket his constituency will turn him down. He must either dodge the issue or fail of re-election. If the party will stand for the good prin ciples in the man, all will be well. A politician of todav must be a good mixer. He must .e able to mix light and darkness, good nnl evil, corruption and incorruption. What we need to day is men instead of politicians. We need the voung man. Wo old men must do quickly what wo do. Oregon is not dry at present. Mere ly this, the saloon and t.ie manufactor ies are out of business. Tho "wets" are preparing to send men to the next legislature to work for these three measures: Permission for hotels to serve liquors to their guests; liquor store where it may be old but not con sumed; and liquor consumed here, man ufactured here. This would thrible the consumption under the law which is going into effect now. Tiic only way to counteract this is by "dry" men in the legislature to block this move. We are not fighting the anti-saloon Jeague, we are fighting the liquor trnf ric. The two organizations are fight ing the same thing only in different ways and are reaching different class es. Each doing Its work in its own sphere. We should work with all but register and vote as party prohibition ists. Do what, we can to'win the anti saloon league over to our side, not by antagonism hut by persuasion. France, Norway', Iceland, Canada. Mexico, and nearly all parts of the world aro facing the issue. Province after province in Canada are being swept. This is one of the great ques tions, in England todsy. Russia has met it squarely. A party upon this issue is the clean cut, common-sense, businesslike wav to carry out our principle. A party appeals to voter from one of three standpoints: So muuy dollars WHAT IS URIC ACID? . i THE CAUSE OF BACKACHE, RHEUMATISM, GRAVEL AND SUDDEN DEATH. Ever since the discovery of uric acid in tho blood by Sc.hcele, in 1775, and tho bad effect it had upon the body, scientists and physicians have striven to rid the tissues and tho blood of this poison. Because of its over abundance in the system it causes backache, pains here and there, rheu matism, goa gravel, neuralgia and sciatica. It was Dr. Picrco who dis covered a ncwageat, called "An-uric," which will throw out. and completely eradicate this uric acid from the sys tem. "An-uric" is 37 times more potont than lithia, and consequently von need no longer fear muscular or arttcnlar rheumatism or gout, or many other diseases which are dependent on SHIPLEY'S Annual January Clearance Sale Extraordinary Savings in all Departments Pictorial Review Patterns U.
