Not Enough Sales to

New York, Aug. 20. The New York
Evening Sun financial review today
said:
Trading was on a very small scale
and the course of prices was listlessly
variable. There- was firmness at tne
opening, followed by a mild sort or
bear attack in spots and then a revis
ion to steadiness the net result being
practically no change at all up to mid
dav. This description applies to the in
dustrial list only. In the railroad de
partment there was not a little liqui
dation at intervals, which carried pric
es down a fraction to a point or so anil
depressed those of the coal carrying
roads in particular and a few others

The gradual crystallization of tne
government s price regulation plans
which has about reached the point oi
including coal, was the direct cause of
this liauidation. Reading lost some 3
points, Delaware and Hudson and Rock
Island nearly 2 points; New York Cen

Auto Party Tried the
New Coast Route
w A. Kawson and family arrived
home from California last night mak
ing a drive yesterday of lo miles, just
to have the comfort of a good home bed ; n,

cific highway at Grants Pass.
The coast road Mr. Rawson says, is
full of scenery, and also of danger. The
road in places is very narrow, and a
number of autos lie wrecked in the
canyons below it. It is up or down all
the way and until improved autoists
will do well to adoid it. At Vhiak they

ARIZONA' GOVERNOR
CONDEIIIJSBOlHSiDES
Finds Deportations Were Un
lawful at Same Tuns
Roasts LW.W.
Phoenix, Ariz., Aug. 20. Tactics em
ployed by both sides in the Bisbee
strike and subsequent deportation were
condemned by Governor Campbell, in
his letter to authorities of Cochise
county, made public today. The gov
ernor declared the method used in pre
senting demands to the mine operators
ana calling of a strike immediately
thereafter without resort to the refer
endum on the part of those affected
was unfair. The tactics used by strik
ers, the governor declares, brought
about a reign of terror in the district,
invading the right of the whole body
politic.
Referring to the I. W. W. the gov
ernor said:
"The principles of the I. W. W. arc
a stench in the nostrils of decent Amer
icans. Insofar as my power as gover
nor of Arizona extends, I shall not
tolerate in the remotest degree their
application in Arizona. A menace to
civic well being and industrial progress
in time of peace the toleration of their
doctrines during a state of war is
treason." .
The governor's report of his personal
investigation in the Bisbee district
states that the civil government had
not broken down. He declares the de
portation of men by the sheriff July
12 was illegal and finds the Loyalty
League committee, which has been
passing on the cases of men entering
the district, also without legal stand
ing. He orders that it cease its activi
ties at once. In conclusion the gover
nor says: "Henceforth I shall look
to the officials of Cochise and all Ari
zona sounties for co-operation in en
forcement of the laws."
The governor declares it would be a
disgraceful blot on the history of the
state "if we, the responsible officers,
are obliged to admit that our proper
functions have broken down and that
the last resort martial law must be
invoked."
HOP GROWERS HAVE
BUSB MEETING
Committee Appointed to Take
Stock of 1915 Hops 175
in Attendance ,
Oregon hop growers, members of the
Oregon Hop Growers association met
today st the Commercial club to dis
cuss the general situation and to re
ceive a financial report of the secre
tary. After all the conditions of the
trade were discussed, there developed
a feeling that the report submitted was
not definite enough.
In order that the members should be
given this iuformation a motion was in
troduced by Louis Lachmund, and al
most unanimously carried to the effect
that committee of three be appointed
tor tne purpose of ascertaining the
number of bales of the 1915 crop sold
by the association, their respective
grades and prices and for what figure
each ws sold. A motion maoo by
President Jones also carried to the ef
fect that this committee of three make
a report on the unpaid notes and that
recommendations should be made as to
the general business affairs of the
association. This was also carried, and
as a committee to work out both of
these propositions, Messrs. Lachmund,
Palmer and Leonard were appointed.
When this committee is ready to make
its report another meeting of the as
sociation will be called.
No business was transacted at the
meeting as a majority of the stock was
not represented although about 175
were in attendance.
Although the contracts provide that
those who had prime hops should re
ceive the returns from these hops,
there via some disposition to place all
mcmberg of the association in one class
and make all share in the losses. Ac
cording to the report, there seemed to
be no money in the treasury excepting
for those who had prime hops.
It developed that the selling of the
1015 crop was in the hands of an ex-'
ecutive committee end that although
President Jones had been in favor of
selling, the committee opposed, with
the result that the 1915 crop was sold
at a low figure.

Washington, Aug. 20. Demanding a
higher war profits tax in the revenuo
bill, Senator Johnson this afternoon
told the senate "those who con tho
blood of war arc best able to pay tho
debt of war."
The Californian, predicted that if
the United States goes on appropriat
ing money at the present rate its war
debt would exceed, by the end of next
year that contracted by any other na
tion. The committee's argument that war
profits ought not be taxed so heavily
as to drain them at one effort, John
son replied:
"Is it wiso statesmanship to look'
to tho time when there will be no war
profits and expect then to tax thorn f
We have got to do as Great Britain i9
doine by taking the larger part of these
profits instead of a mere trifle-"
Johnson asked the senate to "show
the same enthusiasm in conscripting
wealth" that was shown when tho
youth was drafted-
Senator LaFollette, who was to hive
begun today his fight on the war prof
its and income tax provisions of tho
bill, announced he would not be ready
until tomorrow.
Senator Jones, New Mexico, in a
three hour speech today asserted theso
two sections did not make any equit
able distribution of the tax burden.
