Agains; Nom Partisan League
As the cali was made by counties to
introduce resolutions at the Tuesday
afternoon session of the state grange,
it developed that any affiliation with
the Non-Partisan league would meet
with strenuous opposition.
From Multnomah, Douglas, Columbia
and Coos counties came resolutions to
lthe effect that the state grange should
paddle its own canoe and not become
mixed up with any Non-Partisan lea
que proposition. The whole proposition
will be threshod out this afternoon
when vote will be taken to decide
1.-THE political complexion of the state
grange for the coming year as far as
the Non-Partisan league is concerned.
In another resolution introduced, the
board of control was criticized for re-
fusing to vote an additional $4,000
in order that the work of the state
lime board might continue, especially
as machinery has been Installed but
no money ON hand to continue the
work.
The annual salary of the state mas
ter is now 1900. A resolution was in
trodueed to the effect that the salary
Of the state master be placed at $120U
Ia year with travelling expenses and
that he should devote all his time to
the work.
The use of wheat in the manufacture
of beer and also the necessary use of
coal in the breweries was condemned
and resolution introduced asking the
president to prohibit the use of coal
and wheat for such purposes.
Another resolution introduced calls
on the government to regulate the
price not cnly on whas the farmer rails
es but on what he is obliged to buy.
All resolutions are referred to commit
tees and then debated on the floor.
This morning officers for the com
ing year were nominated the election
to take place this evening at 1870
