Shipping Men Turn Eyes On China’s Trade Oregon Student Sees Commercial Benefit In Boosting Tariff Predicts Business Gains For Portland Merchants Whipping men throughout the world arc turning their attention to y China this week, for on February 1 the new Chinese tariff, promulgated by the Nationalist government De cember 10 lust, went into effect and import duties varying from per ecut to ~7Vj per cent ad valorem are now collected. Putting into effort of the now tariff schedule is but one of the significant events transpiring in China at the present time, it is de clared by Ronald H. Robnett, assist ant in the bureau of business re search of the University of Oregon, who has been giving the phases of Oriental transportation close atten tion in his studies. Of equal sig nificance to tile tariff is the work expected to be done in the very near future by a corps of 11 experts under the direction of Dr. Edwin W. Kcmmerer, professor of eeo- | ^ nomies at Princeton university. These men will attempt to work out a plan for finance and currency for all China, and will render detailed reports on the economic, industrial, and other fields of government. Secs Aid for Portland A great increase in trade between China and the United States, which means a corresponding increase for -the port of Portland, is predicted as soon as the new tariff system and the lvemmerer commission plans get into operation, says Mr. Robnett. These two factors will make for stability of this great market, will make possible an efficient govern ment financed in part from tariff revenue, and will bring about com plete abolishment of “liken” or in terproyince taxes now imposed on imnortations. I The new Chinese tariff rates are not high enough to be prohibitive in any ease, but they will yield con siderably more income than that allowed under the present treaty terms, the amounts of which were, arbitrarily dictated by t r e a t y powers. ^ No trouble or (^elusion is ex pected in collecting the tariff, since all nations concerned have now agreed to the rates set by the Na tionalist government. Japan, the last to come to terms, agreed to the charges recently, removing the last barrier in this important phase of economic independence. Machinery collecting already exists, although it is expected that the force will have to be added to since the dif ference in rates will make addition al work in figuring. Kemmercr Party Progresses A complete currency reform and the establishment of the gold stand ard is the object of the party head ed bv l)r. Kemmercr. tie is being assisted by a co/ps of experts, among whom are such outstanding authorities as Dr. Arthur N. Young, expert on public* credit ami former adviser to the state department; Dr. Benjamin N. Wallace, an expert on .tariff policies who lias done much work along this line in the United States; Dr. Frederick A. Cleveland, who was chairman of ; President Taft’s commission on! ^ economy and efficiency', and Dr. Oliver C. Lockhart, tax expert of the University of Buffalo. Other forces now at work in China .which will aid in stabilizing this country of more than 400,000, 000 people are listed by llobnett. , Chief among these is the fact that Die Nationalists arc now demobiliz ing their army of 1,500,000, which will free all but 500,000 of these for industrial and agricultural work. This move is being done chiefly for economic, reasons, it is pointed Out by Chiang Kai-Shcck, president of the republic. Minister Held Success The success of the foreign min ister, Dr. C. T.

Disarmament is expected to further strengthen this support. Hoisting of the Nationalist flag in Manchuria recently is also seen as a significant move, one that will help unify 'China and therefore benefit foreign trade. Advances made in education, establishment of more newspapers and many other factors point to progress and pros perity in the republic, and indicate good business for those who see the opportunity to deal with this nation.

Milligan and McCormick give the Wcbfoot five a balance power both on the offense and defense. McCormick has do-1 veloped into one of tlio most consis tent players on the team, and Milli gan has been the mainstay for over two seasons. The real place of contention is at center. Hay Edwards and Howard Eberhart har e been battling all sea son, but Edwards so far has had the edge. Jean Eberhart, however, has outpointed both of the regular centers, in the last week of practice, and has an equal chance with the others to break into the starting lineup tonight. Jean Eberhart is working with the varsity this year for the first time, having played on the frosh squad last season.

LAST DAY RIN-TIN-TIN IN [Land of the Silver Fox LEILA HYAMS JOHN MU)AN CARROUNTt — TOM SVIT4CHI — Also — THE COLLEGIANS INT’L NEWS ft] i __ Oregon Holds Limelight in State House Bills Brought Up to Aid University; Survey of Crime May Be Slated By RICHARD H. SYRING State Capitol, Salon, Ore., Feb. 1. —(Special)—The University of Ore gon made a satisfactory impression Richard Syring upon the sub com mittee of the ways and means com mittee which visit ed the Eugene campus last week end, so the report of the committee states. The 1 i - b r a v v, however, wns reported as being too small, while the dispen sary and infirmary were said to bo unfit tor their purpose. I Ins m it self is not news to Oregon students, but pleasure is derived in knowing that state legislators have recog nized the fact at last. The infirmary appropriation hill, -which was introduced sev eral days ago by Senator A. W. Norblad of Astoria and Frank Lonergan of Portland, calling for a $50,000 appropriation, has been read for the second time and been referred to house com mittee on ways and means. Should the bill receive the fa vorable report of this commit tee is will undoubtedly pass the house. Considerable sentiment has been aroused over the bill, while the pressure brought to bear has been of no little force. The bill will come up for third reading next week. Any danger that students going to tight 0’clocks in the Administration night find a sheriff’s notice on its loors is erased with the introduction >f a bill in the senate by Senator lolm Bell of Eugene. It seems that some one has done something to improve the beauty of the campus md, as a consequence holds a lien (gainst the state’s property to the ;xtent of $dS,-l09.59. Don’t know what the 5S> cents is for, except terhaps for some gardjBier’s chewing Special Sunday Dinner 50c also Hot Scotch Scones and Chocolate Brownies COLLEGE SIDE INN tobacco. Anyway, the appropriation bill is intended to take care of the lien. Two bills, both intended to give annual appropriations to tire University of Oregon, have been introduced by Representa- j tives Frank E. Andrews of Port land, Denton G. Burdick of Red mond, John H. Carkin of Med ford, and Charles W. Robison of Astoria. One bill calls for an annual appropriation of $5,000 | for foreign trade survey, study ing shipment of products from the interior through the Ore gon ports. The other appropria tion. of $7,500. is intended for business research to expound and promote manufacturing, lumbering, fruit canning and other industries of the state. Oregon alumni have been work ing hard for the last several days and both bills have a good chance of passing the house. A measure calling for an annual appropriation of $7,500 for five years for a crime survey of the state of j Oregon, to be conducted under the | auspices of the University of Ore gon, was introduced Thursday in the House of Representatives by the house judiciary committee. The survey will be made with a view j to a better understanding of the ad- i ministration of criminals’ justice and the care and treatment of de linqdent classes. Those conducting the survey are to ascertain and make known the factors responsible for crime con ditions, to study methods of treat ment, In include compilation, analy sis and survT'y of criminal records of the state, the work of the su preme court, of trial courts, juries, police and coroners, methods effec tive for the treatment and rehabil itation of the convict and survey of , special types of offenses and offend ers. All in all, it, is going to make it pretty tough on a criminal. Dr. I*.
