McNary Advocates
Higher Tariff On
Eggs and Walnuts

Washington, March 16.-Final
appeals were made Wednesday by
western senators to republican
members on the senate finance
committee to insert higher rates
n the new tariff bill than are re-
ported to have been tentatively
agreed upon.
Senator McNary argued for a
4Z-cent duty on eggs. The COM
nlttee is reported to favor cents.
He also asked rate Of cents on
Walnuts or IL cents shelled,
against 3 and 8 cents, said to be
favored in the committee.
Senator Gooding of Idaho re-
peated his argument for SS-cent
DUTY on wool, secured basis, while
others contend for a 15-cent rate
on wool in grease. Advocates of
duty on hides apparently have
won, temporarily, republican
members, by five to four vote, de-
elolng on a 15-point ad valorum.
Ihe committee hopes to report the
Tariff bill to the senate Saturday.

HAY RIDES
IN TRUCKS
LAID Low
Picnic Parties Target
of P. S. G. Ruling Re-
quiring Passengers
Licenses for Trucks

Gone are the days of long dis
tance picnic parties at -four
bits" throw. Likewise exit
hail, hail, the gangs all here"
to the tune of rumbling truck on
the way to football game or a
basket ball game, electra with a
rival school.
In fact 1t looks like finis has
been written on the usefulness of
the common freight hauling motor
truck for passenger carrying
purposes.
Motor trucks licensed to car
ry freight over the highways of
Oregon and insured for that pur-
pose, 1t developed at the hearing
before the public service commits
sion this morning, must secure o
permit to carry passengers and
take out insurance covering 'hu-
man freight" IL 1t is to be used
for passenger carrying purposes
even II only on very rare occasions.
Such q requirement, owners of
trucks heretofore engaged for
picnics and similar junkets argue,
Is prohibitive and there remains
only one course to pursue-quit
accommodating the picnickers and
Junketers.
The inquiry relative to this
phase of the motor car regulation
came from truck owners of
Monmouth and Corvallis as well
as from other towns In which
schools, Sunday schools and other
picnic parties and parties Of stu
dents have been wont to engage
trucks for occasional trips into
the country or to neighboring
town.
According to Fred A. Williams,
chairman of the public service
commission, the law covering the
regulation of automobiles and
trucks engaged as common car
riers gives the commission no OPP
tion relative to the licensing and
insuring OF these carrlers--unless
the board of directors OF school
districts which may be involved
care to employ the trucks and as
sumo the liability for the district.

After serving 19 years of life

here Friday. When Warden Biddle
notified Jones o. his release, the
prisoner declared his innocence.
you may think it strange that
entered a plea of guilty to MUIR
der and now declare that I am
innocent, but 1 did it to escape
mob violence" Jones told the
warden.
Jones has not violated a single
prison rule, since 1913, Warden
Biddle said.
Among others to receive paroles
is Borisa M. Rokecevich, a Bulgar-
ian, convicted in Alaska for muir

Violated only one of the prison
