and onions. The eontagion of the
fight for food spread and soon other
carts were in the street and the ped.
dlcrs fleeing. Kerosene was thrown
on some of the carts and in some in
stances they were set afire.
Later two thousand residents of one
district assembled in mass meeting to
hear the peddlers side of the case. One
man declared he made but twenty
cents on a barrel Of, potatoes that cost
him $40.
The dealers charged they were al
lowed to purchase at one time from on

were on the tracks.
A boycott, in which women of these
districts will agree to buy no more
onions or potatoes until the price goes
down, and IN which the dealers will
agree not to purchase any more, seems
probable.
Prices of foods, not only in the push
cart, but in every section of the city
have advanced tremendously. The diff
ference in prices of some vegetables is
shown in the following:

Road Bond Bill Was
Principal Matter Standing
Before Senate Yesterday

Meeting at LAS yesterday afternoon,
the senate came down the home stretch
at top speed, and there was not break
until house bill 500, providing a bond
issue of six million dollars for road con
struction came up. and then there was
fight on Ii ragged fiereely for some
time. Olson advocating the measure as
leader, and Pierce attacking it. There
were some dramatic situations, but too
many to be described. Olson offered sev
eral amendments which were adopted,
and Pierce on the question of final pas
sage made a bitter attack on it, He
said it was "bitulithie day, aud stat
ed that the reason for rushing the bill
to an early vote by the people was be-
cause the patents held by the Warren
construction company would soon ex-
pire, and it was necessary to get at
work at once in order TO save that COM
pany its royalties. One patent he said
would expire this year, another in 1918
and still another in 1920. He read a
statement from an attorney in Wash
ington,t to this effect. After a really
brilliant speech of twenty minutes, he
| in closing said, "You can send this
measure to the people, but your scheme
will be showed under and the bonding
issue viii be buried out of sight. He
had millage tax bin which would pro
duee about a million dollars year, and
he believed the people would support
that measure if it was placed on the
ballot along with the bond issue. The
! debate took wide range and dozen
or more took part in it. Among other
things that Pierce stated however was
| that "The senate had received its or
ders from the Oregonian in a long edit
orial that morning not to submit his
millage measure along with the bond
proposition and it was responding to
the cracking of the whip" The bill
passed
There were several small skirmishes
after this but it was the main battle.
Later a bill was passed in the house
and also by the senate calling a special
election for June fourth at which
jail measures submitted to the people
should be voted upon. The bill appropri-
ating money for the supreme court
caused small fight because the pay
of the stenographers had been cut from
t$1200 to $1,000 but the senate stood

Sheriff Needham made a thorough
search Of the house but was unable to
locate anything. In the barn a trap
door was found ON the floor under a
quantity Of loose hay. This trap door
led to well constructed excavation
in which apparently large quantity Of

Housewives League, today. With the
serious situation brought sharply to the
fore by food riots IN tenement districts
here yesterday, Mrs. Heath declared
every effort to meet the prevailing
food cost was patriotic duty.
Every young man in America seek
ing summer employment should go to
the farms, just as some are enlisting
in the militia, as a matter of patriot
sm, " said Mrs. Heath in an interview
with the United Press today.
~ am preparing an appeal to the
colleges of the country, urging that
college students, especially, volunteer
for farm service,
Gone of the causes Of the food short
age and high prices is said to be lack
of farm labor and consequent sub-norm-
al production. If that is the ease. We
should see that the farmer is given as
sistance. When the entire country is
in the grip of food situation such as
now prevails, work en- the farms would
be patriotic service.
'lf through movement such as
this adequate labor is furnished then
the government should sec that trans
portation- facilities are furnished and
that the marketing of the products is
made possible at reasonable prices.
Z" II there il no other relief from a
situation which makes dollar worth
only about twenty-five cents when it
comes to buying food in New York,
why not dig up Central Park and pro-
duce foodstuffs there for the city. If
there is corner, such cooperation
would certainly bring prices down,
and if the shortage is real the effort
will be more than justified"

House bill 40, appropriating $4,000
for Tumalo project was also passed at
the last minute.
After getting through with the bus
mess of passing on bills the senate had
a free and easy two hours waiting for
action by the house on amended house
bills and there was all kinds of fun.
The work may be said TO have ended
when Senator Orton, walking up to the
president IS desk accused him of having
acted unfairly, treated the members
with all kinds of contumely and wound
up by saying they had forgiven him
and as a token of this, presented him
a beautiful silver set. The president
was visibly affected, and it was some
minutes before he could reply. He did
this feelingly, paying high tribute to
the senators and praising their work.
After this it was a love feast and an
exchange of good feeling and good
wishes
During the afternoOn-and evening the
senate acted on some 50 bills passing
all but three or four. 1t was nearly

PRESIDENT IS RIGHT

TARIFF COMMISSION MUST NOT
 BE APPOINTED HASTILY.
Altogether Too Important a Body te Be Named Without Proper Con- sideration-Country Is Quite
 Willing to Wait.

The impatience of the New York chamber of commerce in urging Presi- eent Wilson to hurry up with his tariff commission is natural but needless The president has not forgotten the matter, but he has here a task in which caution and investigation are immeas- urably more important than haste.
 Next to the Supreme court, the tariff commission will be the most important appointive body in the United States but unlike the Supreme court, it has to be made up all at once, and there are no natural candidates, like lesser judges, to promote to these new posts. Also, as MT. Wilson remarked on his visit to Chicago, he asked for a non- partisan commission, and congress gave him a bipartisan commission. Such change no doubt safeguards the body under a less conscientious presi- dent, but it complicates the matter of selecting the first appointees.
 The whole country is eager to know the new commissioners-but it is still more eager to trust them. It would rather wait bit than be sorry.
