THE MARKETS TO ORGANIZE AXD ADVERTISE OREGON" This the purpose of the Btate-wide movement under wa yto encourage and strengthen the Oregon State Chamber of Commerce. The state has been organized for an extensive canvass for budget subscriptions to talling $450,000, covering a three year period, of which J1S0.000 is to be raised in Portland and the re mainder outside of Portland. More than two hundred leading men of Oregon have examined the proposed plans for this expansion of finances and activities, and approved them. Leaders throughout the state are taking an active part in the mov ment to match the State Chamber to its opportunities for usefulness as a state-wide development agency. Oregon has many natural advanta ges, as all Oregonians know; but the outside world does not know it has approximately 16,000,000 acres of tillable land uncultivated; 13,000, 000 acres of public lands in national torests; 22,000,000 horsepower of undeveloped water-power; water re- Portland.

MICHEL Service PLATFORM ADOPTED BY REPUBLICANS The Most Important Plank Is That Relating to League of Nations. The most Important plank in the platform adopted by the national re publican conwutlou at Chlcaito was ' the one relating to the Leattue ot Na-1 lions. As finally agreed upon in the resolutions committee aud accepted by the convention. It harmonizes the views of the conflicting elements, some of which had threatened to boll the party. The Important planks summarlted ! are as follows: j Republican party reaffirm! Its unyleld- I iitg devotion to the constitution of tlt 1 t'nlted States. 1 Declares demurtatlc administration un- prepared far war and equally unprepared for peace, and the demonstrated inca- ' pacity of .the democratic party has ile- stioytHt public confidence and weakened the authority of government. I RepuMUan party will undertake to end executive autocracy and restore to the people their constitutional gov ernmenl. The farmer le recognised a the back bone of the nation and party believes ttiat his couiiitlon cen be Improved by adu quate farm representation In the ap pointment of government officials. Declares the federal farm loan la should be no Administered as to facilitate the acquisition of farm land. Recognises the justice of, collective bar gaining as a tueuus of establishing more harmony. The right te strike against the govern ment denied, but the rights and Interests of all government employes must be safe guarded by impartial laws. Compulsory arbitration tn private In dustries not advocated, but faclUtles for voluntary mediation favored. j Congratulates the republican congress on the enactment of a law providing for an executive budget, and condemns the veto of the president. President Wilson's Mexican policy con demned. We should not recognise any Mexkan government unless it be a re sponsible government willing and able tn give sufficient guarantees that the lives and rights of Amriean citizens are re speeted and protected. Kavors liberal appropriations In co operation with the slates for the con struction of highways. Opposed to government ownership and operation or employe operation of the railroads. Holds In Imperishable remembrance the valor and the patriotism of the soldiers and sailors of America who fought in the great war and pledges to discharge to the fullest the obligations of a grate ful nation. Republican party pledges itself to earn it and consistent attack on living costs jy rigorous avoidance of further Infla tion of currency and promotion of production. Party reaffirms Its belief In protective principle and pledges Itself to revision of , the tariff as soon as conditions make It 1 necessary. j Existing policy of United States for practical exclusion sf Asiatic Immigrants Is sound and should be maintained. Right of free speech, free i press and. free assembly must be maintained, but i advocacy of overthrow of government must not be permitted. ' Immediate resumption of trade rela-' tlons wtlh nations with which United States Is at peace demanded. I Republicans welcome women Ints full participation In activities of party and of ! government. Equal pay for equal service should rule in all branches of government In which I women are employed. Republican party will oppose now and hereafter the acceptance of a mandate for any country In Europe or Asia. The plank on the league of nations ' says: I "(A) League of Nations. Foreign pol icy of administration has been founded i upon no principle and directed by no def- j inite conceptions of our nation's rights i and obligations. It has been humiliating I to America and irritating' to other na- tlons, with the result that, after a period j of unexampled sacrifice, our motives are ! suspected, our moral Influence Impaired j and our government stands discredited i and friendless among the nations of the j world. -..Jf ji-, c; "We favor a liberal and generous for eign policy, founded upon definite moral ! and political principles, characterized by a clear understanding of and firm adher ence upon our own rights and unfailing respect for the rights of others. We should afford full and adequate protec tion to the life, liberty and property and all International rights of every Amerl-s can citizen and shouid require a proper respect for the American flag; but we should be equally careful to manifest a Just regard for the rights of other na tions. A scrupulous observance of our International engagements when lawfully assumed Is essential to our own honor and self-respect and the respect of other nations. .Subject to a new regard for our International obligations, we should leave our country free t develop Its civiliza tion along the lines most conducive to the happiness and welfare of the people, and to cast Its influence on the side of Justice and right should occasion require. "The republican party stands for agree ment among the nations to preserve the peace of the world. We believe that such an international association must be based upon International Justice and must provide methods which shall maintain the rule of public right by development of law and the decision of Impartial courts, and which shall secure Instant and general International conference whenever peace shall be threatened by political action, so that the nations pledged to do and Insist upon what Is just and fair may exercise their Influence and power for the prevention of war. We believe that all of this can be done without the compromise of national In dependence, without depriving; the people of the United States in advance of the right to determine for themselves what Is Just and fair, when the occasion arises and without Involving them as partici pants and not as peacemakers In a multi tude of quarrels, the merits of w hich 'hey are unable to Judge."
