ANDERSON SEES
WILSON ON FOOD
Don't Expect Too Much in
Price Reductions, Pub
lie Is Warned

Washington, Dec. II. a warning 10
the public not 10 expect too much in
the way Of price reductions through
the Department Of Justices inyestiga.
tion Of the high cost Of living was is
sued to-day following the visit Of
United States District Attorney An
derson, in charge Of the investi-
CATION, 10 the White house. Mr.. An
derson outlined his plans TO Mr. Wilson
and received his full approval OF the
course marked out.
The work OF the Department Of JUS
tice. it was asserted, was an insignili-
cant part Of what the government as a
whole was doing to meet the cost Of liv-
ing problem. The Department Of Agri-
culture and the Bureau of Fisheries,
which is under the Department of Com
merce, are "doing really constructive
work to bring prices down by teaching
the people economy" 1t was said
"That goes 20 the root OF the matter"
a high fiicial connected with the work
declared. THE Department of Justice
has certain evidence which is expected
to convict certain middlemen Of price
boosting, and the publicity that has
been given the Grand Jury investga-
tions about TO be begun has been help
full. But after all the investigation
cannot go back of the economic courses
which underie the present scale Of
prices.
what is needed is a patient cam
paign OF education. Few people know
whit is being done in that line. The
Department of Agriculture and the Blu
reau of Fisheries have accomplished d
great deal already that is of permanent
value. The people are being instructed
about neglected sources Of food sup
plies and are being educated in meth
DDS Of economy that will DO much more
TO bring down the cost of living than
all the Investigations in the world"
The Bureau Of Investigations, the Sc
cret service of the Department of JUS
tice, has collected mass of evidence
against certain combinations in all
parts of the country. It is on the basis
of the evidence that the Federal Grand
Juries in New York and elsewhere will
act

Dillon Says Physicians
Get Petty Milk Graft

John J. Dillon, State Commissioner
Of Foods and Markets, in his hunt for
items in the public's high cost Of living
bill, has discovered graft which certain
doctors in the city get for recommend
ing different companies milk to pa
tents. The commissioner says he is
sending 70 the Wicks committee the
names of three or four physicians
whom his Investigators have found
guilty of this practice.
81 wouldn't say that many doctors in
the city are given to this form of petty
graft" he asserted yesterday. "On the
other hand. | am convinced that there
are enough who are 10 count in the
community's milk bill. have the
names of only a few, 20 be sure, but
didn't ask my Investigators TO run
down many they're too hard TO get.
"Some Of these doctors will go so
far as 70 suggest to a patient with chill
dren that she change her milkman in
favor Of the Substituting company.
Others will not be quite so brazen
about il. but will give the milk COM
pany the name of such patient, sug-
costing that the milk company's solic-

Washington. Dec H. The danger o.
break with Japan might as we'll bo
faced now as later ON, when Japan may
be much better prepared, Senator
Chamberlain, chairman Of the Military
Affairs Committee, told the Senate to-
day during a consideration Of tho JIM
migration bill passed by the House last
session.
The question Of japanese immigra-
ton must be decided sooner or later he
declared, and whenever it is written on
the statute books that japanese cannot
immigrate to this country then the
United States will face a serious crisis
with Japan.
Senator Chamberlain said that he did
not wish to be regarded as lingo, but
there was no doubt that there was only
one way IN which this problem could
he prevented from straining the rela-
tions between the two countries, and
that would be 10 permit unlimited Jap
anese immigration whenever Japan gets
ready 10 demand it,.
Other Senators, including Chairman
Ellison d. Smith, Of the immigration
Committee. urged Senator Chamberlain
not 10 push the amendment, which
would bar Japanese immigration, de-
claring that the gentlemen's agreement
now in force. under which Japan agrees
not TO grant passports to emigrants
wishing 70 enter the United States,
would continue to protect this country
Japan Keeps Agreement
Senator Works, Of California. and
senator Chamberlain both pointed out
that even now. by sending picture

ship. 10 the Pacific Coast states Japan
was Increasing the population Of her
nationals in this country. They ad-
mitted that Japan was keeping the let
ter Of the gentlemen's agreement
Senator Chamberlain, however, de
clared that the passage Of the bill in
form approved by the Senate com
mittee would have the effect of abro-
eating the gentlemen's agreement The
bill as passed by the House, in addi-
ton 10 other methods Of exclusion Of
nationals not considered desirable as
immigrants, keeps out all persons al
ready excluded by treaty or passport
agreements
Debate on the immigration bill, espe-
cially when Senator Works, Of Cali
fornia. began speaking, became so dis
turbing TO Administration Senators de-
sirous of avoiding all reference to the
Japanese situation on the floor that
demands were made that the galleries
be cleared, which was done.

.REMONSTRANCE MADE OVER
LICENSING Of PEDLERS

\ remonstranee. signed BY more
than SEQ residents of Pendleton,
againSt the proposed ordinance to IL
eense professional peddlers in the city
Was presented to the city council last
evening and was referred to the ordi-
nance committee
The demonstrators protest against
the licensing of peddlers of fruits and
vegetables The ordinance as intro
duced provides for license of $500
per day or SIS per week for peddlers
put excludes those persons who are
peddling fruits, vegetables or other
products that they raise themselves.
However, 1t is said that most Of the
fruits and vegetables peddled here are
not peddled by producers but by men
who buy directly from the small far
mers. making up load. and bringing
It to Pendleton. 1t is claimed BY the
demonstrators that many of the small
farmers are unable to bring their own
products to the city ana that the ordi-
nance would work hardship upon
them The ordinance was read again
last evening, but no action was taken
upon it.

Work on Church Resumed

Work looking to the completion of
enough of the Catholic church to
make it serviceable until such time as
the church can complete it according
to the original plans has been begun
and it is hoped to have the church
ready for use by this fall. The origi-
nal plans call for a very large church
in the shape Of a cross and will cost
about $4,000. Already about $35, 900
has been spent in putting up the
stone walls and it is now planned to
roof over that portion of it which
forms the stem Of the cross. This will
give the church two and half times
the capacity of the present church and
will be sufficient for the needs of the
congregation for some years. In ap-
pearance it will be complete in its ef-,
feet and, when the time comes, can
be fully completed without tearing
away any Of the work now being done.

listers and religious workers to ac-
quaint themselves and their commu-
mites with the services at their dis
posal and to cooperate with the col.
lege in its great work Of rural better
ment.
Professor Ressler urged the inter-
est and support of church people also
in building up the rural schools. Just
as the pastor is the gretest factor in
the rural church, so is the teacher
the supreme agency in the school,
This teacher must be selected and
trained with view to permanent SER
vice in the rural community. This is
not being done now by the high
school training courses and cannot
be for the reason that the best coun-
try teacher must be country-reared
and in love with country life
Favors Normal school.
In brief interview at noon today,
Professor Ressler expressed his ap-
Proval of the initiative measure to es-
tablish a normal school in eastern
Oregon. He believes that the inter-
ests of the rural schools will be serv-
ed best by providing opportunities for
high grade professional training with
in the reach of young men and wom-
en- who have been reared in the coun-
try. Most Of our young people will
not travel far for higher education.
The great territory In eastern Oregon
needs an institution for the profess
sional training of teachers and further
delay in providing one means holding
back the progress or the country
schools one of the chief factors in ru-
raj betterment.
