T1TE 3IOKXIXG OREGOJflAN, SATURDAY, APRIL 110. KEEP GOOD MEN IN OFFICE, SAYS TUFT East More Powerful in Con gress Because of Policy, President Finds. , VIEW INDORSED BY DICK Senator, AVIio Faces Hard Tight for Re-election, Enthusiastic Over Tenor of - Address to Ohio Society of 'Washington. WASHINGTON, April 1. President Taft in an address before the Ohio So ciety of Washington, last night pointed out that the dominating power of the Kastern States in Congress lies in the fact that they keep men in ofTice when they place them there. He contrasted the Influence of the Kast in legislative affairs with that of the West. "Why 1h it," asked the President, "the small states of the East exercise so much jiower in Congress? It is not because an KaMern man has any more capacity in the matter of legislation than a Western man. It Is because when the Eastern Stales get a good Representative they keep him as Inns as he lives and then he has an influence that vastly exceeds the mere numerical representation of popula tion. "I don't know whether this Is quite ger mane to the subject of this occasion, but it occurs to me to say this because I feel rs though we are all interested in hav ing Ohio well represented and in having Ohio make herself felt in the legislation of this country by adopting a system that will certainly bring about the weight she is entitled to." When the Presidfwt had concluded. Sen ator Dick, who was on the platform, grasped his hand and shook it enthu niastically. The Senator, whose term expires with this Congress and who has a hard fight ahead for re-election, said something to Mr. Taft, who laughed aloud. "Senator DIok has just told me that he heartily Indorses everytning I ha.ve said on this subject," Tie said. The President was the guest of honor at a meeting called to organize an Ohio rociety in Washington. Justice William R. Day presided and subsequently was fleeted president of the society. "There is only one thing I want to say about Ohio that has a political tinge," he xald. "and that Is. I think a mistake has horn made of recent- ears in Ohio in falling to continue as our Representatives the same- people, term after term. I am for continuing the representation as we have it. so that the Representatives shall be foremost In both the halls of legisla tion." - 1806 POWDER PRICE TOLD Kxploslve Company Argues It Is Na tion's Benefactor, Xot Trust.

Could Not Make Any Other Ruling That Would BeJust. DECISION EMINENTLY FAIR National League Treasurer Declares Commission by Its Adjustment of . Trouble Has Cpheld Valid ity of the Contract. NEW YORK, April 1. John Heydler. secretary and treasurer ot the National League, who served on the National Commission last year and is thoroughly familiar with the Kling case, came out last night with a strong defense of the recent action of the Commission in rein stating the catcher without Ban John son's approval. "In my opinion," says Heydler, "the Commission could not have ruled other wise. The alternative would nave been to apply the provisions of rule 41, which practically would have carried with it a four-year suspension and the elimina tion of Kling from baseball. Rule 49, I have always held.- was a measure directed specifically against or ganization players joining outlaw leagues. "Had the Commission officially desig nated the Chicago . Semi-professional League as1 an outlaw league, prior to Kling's temporary . affiliation with that organization, then there would have been no recourse but to impose the extreme penalty on the player. "The finding is just and equitable and is most fair to the player, making it mandatory on the player to return to Chicago and fulfill the last year of his three-year contract at the figure he signed for and Is splendid from every angle of baseball law. "I doubt If the Commission was divided on that particular point. It le the best part of the finding. It means that a contract entered into, whether by the club on one side and the player or the manager on the other, must be respected and lived up to. This Is the meat of the decision and simply reiterates the principle upon which organized baseball is founded." OYSTERS NO LONGER FED Vncle Sam Stops "Floating" Prac tice Order Hits Entire Country.
