CRATER LAKE UP TIGHT

Portland. Rug. 19.-Want to see
a meet sign on the road to Crater
Lake lettered thus:
''Closed until more satisfactory IA
cilities are provided for tourists?
Stephen T. Mather. director of ma
tional parks admitted that he has
such sign in mind when he spoke
on rather personal basis to some
80 business, professional and rail-
road men of Portland at the Cham
ber of Commerce Friday evening.
I'm not going to ask you to do
anything more for Crater Lake." he
added. I've done that until I'm sick
of it.
"Often I've sighed for some means
of swinging Crater Lake to within
so miles of Portland. Then the
wonderful lake and the great play
ground around it might be made
available to the tourist world with
the spirit of cooperation from you

that Parkhurst, the innkeeper, has

KENYON BILL TO
CURB MEAT TRUST
Aims TO Limit Corporate Profits,
Classifying Excess Profits as Trea-
son; Legitimate Business Safe

Washington, Aug. 19.-Before the
senate agricultural committee the
problems OF packers, their alleged
monopoly OF preparing and distribut-
ing meats and their alleged policy OF
expanding their business enterprises
to the point Of controlling the sup
ply OF other foods, came up for an
investigation in the hearing OF the
Kenyon bill to extend federal con-
troll over the packing industry.
Senator Gronna. committee chair
man, prefaced the proceedings with
brief statement OF conditions which
he said were leading to a general de-
mand for limitation OF corporate pro-
fits. So did Senator Kenyon.
This is radical bill, with teeth
In it. which deserves closest scru-
tiny, but it is not government own
ership bill," said Senator Kenyon.
1t provides new method Of cor
porate control in this country. II
suggests the licensing Of packers. the
enforcement from them of stock
yards ownership and the elimination
OF their control OF refrigerator cars
The basis for II is the report OF the
federal trade commission and infor.
nation before this committee.
Meat packing is no longer a pri.
vate business. II the monopoly ha.
grown to the degree we understand
1t has, 1t is indefensible and intoler
able. There may be a little efficien
cy growing out Of it, but that Il
temporary.
I'VE are not engaged in an attacl
on private profits. though the propa
ganda OF the packers has frightened
business since this bin came up, ant
may have frightened congress ou
OF the attempt to legislate. We ar,
net trying to injure business, no
stop reasonable profits, but exces
profits today are reasonable pro
fits"

 Since the beginning of the campaign last summer there has been much con fusion on both sides of the line be- cause the bolshevik airplanes bore ths old Russian marking, a red, white and blue circle.
