the East will be the occasion of a dem
onstration by Progressives.
Previous to the arrival of Colonel

committee will hold a meeting to dis
cuss a plan of action for the next four
years, which probably will be laid be
fore the conference for approval. The
programme follows:

The committee on arrangements In
attendance at the conference includes
every State chairman and members of
the National executive committee, as
well as hundreds of members of the
party, including many women.
George W. Perkins, of New York, ar
rived here today, the first of the New
York delegates to the Progressive
roundup. "We have many important
things to discuss," said Mr. Perkins,
"but others who are to come are in a
better position to speak of them than
I am, as no programme has been
mapped out that I am familiar with.
We will do much good, I am certain."
Shortly after he arrived Mr. Perkins
went to Hull House to call on Miss
Jane Addams. Other arrivals today
were GlCord and Amos Pinchot, ex-Governor
Miguel Otero, of New Mexico, and
Roy W. Schenck. State Commissioner
of Immigration of Wyoming.
"I am here in response to a telegram
from Governor Carey, of Wyoming,"
said Mr. Schenck. "He is on his way
here from Washington, and is due to
morrow." FINZER ASKSF0R RANGE

NEW ORGANIZATION IS AIM
Salem Discusses Forming of Com
mercial CInb.
SALEM. Or.. Dec 8. (Special.) At a
special meeting today of trustees of the
niihee Club, a representative commit
tee of the Board of Trade and members
of various leading organizations, the
question of dissolving the Salem Board
of Trade and establishing a Commercial
Club, comprehensive in its nature and
on the plan of the Portland Commer
cial Club, was discussed. It was the
sentiment today that the plan should be
developed, and it is probable that at
the annual meeting of the Board of
Trade in a few days a favorable recom
mendation along these lines will be
made.
Scores of business mei have signed
petitions declaring in favor of the or
ganization of the Commercial Club. In
event the plan is carried out, it is prob
able that the Illihee Club, one of the
leading organizations in this part of
the Valley, will be its nucleus. '
For many years the Illihee Club has had
the club rooms in the Elks building, but
recently the Elks have made arrange
ments to take over the club In its own

DUTY TO FILIPINOS
NOT DONE-STIMSON
Secretary Says Demand for
Abandonment of Islands
Is Call to Recreancy.
RESERVE LAW INADEQUATE
Urgency of Militia Pay Bill Suggest
ed Anti-Canteen Movement Is
Blamed for Disgraceful Con
ditions at Some Posts.V .
WASHINGTON. Dec. 8. Unsparing
condemnation from those who would,
from "misplaced Sentimentality or lazy
self-interest," cast the Filipinos upon
the world In their state of helplessness
and before they had acquired the full
benefits of American civilization, is a
strong feature In the annual report of
Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson.
Many other subjects of interest are
treated in the report, such as the re
lations of the National Guard to the
Army, the improvement in Army tac
tical methods, the Inadequacy of the
present reserve law, the need of citi
zenship for the Porto Ricans, the con
servation of the National water pow
ers in navigable streams and the ad
visability of amending the Panama
canal tolls act bo as to relrapose tolls
on American coastwise shipping leav
ing the waterway.
Army Spirit Improved. '
Doaiiner first with purely military
subjects, the Secretary gives the
strength of the regular Army at the
beginning of the present fiscal, year at
82.305, an increase during the year of
189 officers and 7834 enlisted men. He
says the spirit of the personnel of the
Army continues to improve, attributa
ble not only to the worn oi tne serv
ice schools and the General Staff, but
the practical opportunities afforded by
the recent maneuvers ana changes in
organization and methods. Xjnnt oin
cers are speedily discovered under the
searching tests or fleld conditions.
"One of the surest ways of getting
rid of the dead wood of the Army is
to work it as far as possible, under the
applicatory methods of modern mili
tary training," the secretary ceciares.
In treating of the morals of the Ar
my, Secretary Stimson asserts his be
lief that the so-called anti-canteen leg
islation has been responsible for much
vice, a statement which he supports
by a recital of the results of his own
inspection of 49 of the mobile Army
posts, where he found the military
reservations adjoined by dives and ill
resorts of the vilest character. These
conditions he believes to be the ulti
mate cause "which make the record of
our Army in this respect shameful be
yond that of the army of any civilized
nation."
Incompleted Posta Important.
The immediate completion of the
posts, at Panama and Hawaii he
strongly urged as by far the most im
portant Items of military expenditure
for the Immediate future. It is said
that the locks and machinery at Pan
ama already have reached a condition
of extreme vulnerability in case of
sudden attack, yet no greater force
can be sent there than the one regi
ment, now on guard until new quar
ters are constructed for them, and the
Secretary urges that such works should
begin at once, un me oiner nanu, says
the Secretary, the base at Pearl Har
bor, Hawaii, is of far greater strategic
importance for the protection of the
entire Pacific coast irom attacK tnan
any of the positions on. that coast now
so strongly fortified. No. naval enemy
could make a serious effective attack
upon any portion of the American Pa
cific Coast, unless it had first reduced
the position at Oahu, threatening its
Hank.
The tactical reorganization of the
Army on the basis of 'hree infantry di
visions, the report shows, has pro
gressed as far as possible without Con
gressional assistance in the' way of
providing for large ample posts, and
a series of conferences of the general
officers of the Army has been planned
for this Winter. As a result, the time
now necessary at the outbreak of war
to organize the regular Army will be
dispensed with. "
Shorter Service Recommended.
Touching the Army reserve, toward
which Congress has made a start in
the present appropriation bill, the Sec
retary says that the most serious de
fect in the plan is that it creates too
long a period of service with the col
ors. The experience of the United
States and that of European nations
has shown that the soldier can be ade
quately trained for his duties In con
siderable less than three years. A
shortening of the period of training
with the colors, says the Secretary,
would greatly improve the character
of the young men who will come into
the Army, and in no way diminish the
effectiveness of their training.
A strong plea is made for the pass
age of the militia pay bill, now pend
ing, because the 100,000 men now in the
National Guard, eager and ambitious to
be of service in case of war, are prac
tically unavailable under present condi
tions. These men, the secretary says,
should not only be trained for war in
time of peace and paid by the National
Government, -but it must be possible to
transfer them immediately into the
general military force and not militia
in time of war. In connection with the
subject, the Secretary also recommends
the passage of the pending volunteers
bill, which would not entail a dollar's
expense upon the Government in this
time or in the future until war comes.
Attention is also directed again to the
great shortage in the supply of field
artillery, which cannot be purchased
abroad in time of war and requires
years to manufacture. Taking a lesson
from the present great struggle in the
East, Secretary Stimson says: "The
amount which we have permitted to
accumulate would be Insufficient for a
single engagement of the character of
the engagements in .either the Russo
Japanese or the present Balkan war.
Power Controversy Recalled.
Suggestions of the old controversy
between the Executive and Congress
over the construction of dams In navi
gable streams without compensation to
the Government are contained in a long
chapter of the report dealing with the
attempt of the War Department to pro
tect such streams from private jeo
pardations. The Secretary reiterated his
views already laid before -Congress In
connection with the veto last session of
the Coosa River dam bill, and he again
urges that existing law be amended so
that the guarantee of a dam privilege
be required to pay a reasonable sum to
the Government, the proceeds to be
used for the development of the stream
where the dam is situated.
A remarkable recital of the develop
ment of the Philippines in ways of civ
ilization during the 14 years of Ameri
can occupation is given in the report.
It is declared that there is no other in
stance in history where, after four
years of war and insurrection, to more
than 7,000,000 of an entire alien race
have been so soon given not merely the
forms ot civil control, but Immediate
and extensive participation in their
own government.
"Similarly." says the Secretary, "there
is no parallel to the material, mental.
and moral progress shown in these 10
years of civil government by so many
millions of people, held for centuries in
ignorance and in effect in political and
economic bondage.
Work la PhlllDDinea Just Begin,

"Yet with all this progress. "our work

continues the Secretary. "Half of the
children born in Manila die in infancy;
