Standard and Ask Time to
Study Question.

r~'e est against the standard of
|er railway service proposed by the
b Utilities Commission. which pro-
be a seat for every passenger dur
ne non-rush periods and plentiful
b of standing room during the two
II hours of maximum traffic, was
kdr by representatives Of the Capital
Fac, lion and Washington Railway and
&c tric Companies at a hearing before
= commission today.
rhe principal objections were that a
ed standard is undesirable. and will
meet conditions, and that sufficient
ne has not been given the railwa-
m oanies to reply to the proposal of
commission.
More Time Asked.
77rence P. King. president of the
darlington Railway and Electric Com
~. said. in the opening statement.
a. no mention was --sde - the notice
the hearing received by the COM
! ny in September OF any complaints
the service now furnished and than
e company, therefore, was unable to
ffend any question OF that character.
pc itional time, he said. should be given
the commission for investigation con-
Rrring the need of a fixed standard.
Attention was drawn by Mr.. King to
fe fact that the standard proposed by
2 oommission-seventy seats per
% rassengers during the two half hours
TnaXimum traffic during the rush per-
IDS and 125 seats per 100 passengers
bring the non-rush hours-are based
|hlv on closed cars.
Gorge Z. Hamilton, president Of the
|aTital Traction Company, declared al
nat sufficient time had not been CIV
p for proper consideration of the pro-
bs"d order. He suggested that moro
FfeCtive progress would be made il rep
/ So natives Of the railway companies
pc the commission would get together

enrhcial both TO the public and the
pr nanies.
Years Delay Suggested.
Sgestion was made by J. Fl. Hanna.
hief engineer OF the Capital Traction
ION nany. that the present plan of op-
rBton be continued for a year and
be- in the meantime. a standard of

The statement was made by Can't. ].

atIon Of traffic conditions. To comply

" F. Ham, vice president Of the

YOUR BUTTER.

The Oregonian the other day told
the story of the Chinese eggs in the
Oregon market. a great many thous-
and dozen eggs have. since October
3. 1913. when the Wilson Underwood
tariff went into effect. been imported.
1t is but the beginning. The exper-
iment of bringing the little known
egg of China into competition with
the fine white egg of Oregon has been
successful. Next winter the incom-
ing trans-Pacitic steamers will be
loaded with them. The Oregon hen
is up against it. We have excluded
the Chinaman. but we have opened
wide our markets to the unbranded
and unsanitary Chinese egg: and we
eat it without knowing where it came
from, except that a hen somewhere
gave it to the world.
Now it is butter. The price is 60
ing down. There was a 212-cent cut
in Portland yesterday. The tariff is
the principal cause. The American
market is open to New Zealand and
other foreign butter.
The fact that the cost of living is
going down ought of course to be
hailed with JOY. But in these partic-
ulars it is being done by the sacrifice
of the American producer. He is
forced TO divide his own market with
foreign competition. He sells either
at a loss or without profit.
Perhaps some eqlogist of a Demo-
cratic tariff will explain how lower
prices for American staples and
large importations Of foreign food
Stuffs. involving actual loss to the
American producer. will restore pros
perity. The 0regonian cannot. We
want cheaper butter. certainly: but
will it benefit anybody if We get it
below cost to the American producer?
The 0regonian.

INSPECTORS CONSULT GROWERS
Three Devote Time to Fruit Distrib-
utors Central Agency.

Three field inspectors have beer
sent out this season by the Nort
Pacific Fruit Distributors with which
organization the Polk county associa'
ton recently affiliated, and are de-
voting all their time to working dis
tricts covered by the central selling
agency. The inspectors are r. H
Morgan, formerly Of the Yakima dis
trict; H. NJ. Smith. formerly of Wen
atchee, and S. 7. Campbell, formerly
with Hood River. Mr.. Campbell serv-
ed in the same capacity a year ago.
They visit the various districts in
consulting capacity, working with
the growers and the subcentral of
ficials. They are the connecting link
between the grower and the sales
department of the Distributors. Their
work is not solely confined to the in
spection of grade and pack, but they
are part of the sales department and
have to do with the methods of as
sembling fruit and preparing it for
the markets, with an idea of stand
ardizing these methods to increase
the STABILITY of the fruit.
Later in the season additional in
spectors will be stationed at the gate
ways through which the fruit passes
on its way to market. Men will prob
ably be stationed at Chicago, Omaha,
Minneapolis and New York,

Attractions for Fair Week.

The question of securing attractions
for the county fair to be held in Sep
tember will be settled in the near fu-
ture. The probability is that some
carnival company, preferably the Ar
mold Amusement company. will be en-
gagged for the three days. thus giving
visitors something in the way of en-
tertainment aside from the exhibits.
This would increase the attendance
during the week and is in accord with
the views of a considerable number
of business men of the city. The
Foley & Burk carnival company,
which contemplated a visit to Dallas
this month under the auspices of the
band, has gone north and will not hold
the boards here this season.
