GLADSTONE PARK, Or., July 11.
(Special.) Chautauqua programmes
are keeping up their reputation for
versatility. 7
' Two days ago Victor Murdock
preached preparedness to 4000 persons.
Today Dr. Frederick Vinlng Fisher pre
sented the views of the extreme pacifist
in his lecture, "One Blood," to almost
as many Chautauquans. They gave Mr.
Murdock a great ovation Saturday and
they applauded Mr. Fisher today. "
Mr. Fisher's "One Blood" is a plea
for a universal brotherhood of man,
regardless of racial prejudice and color
lines. In the. recognition of this prin
ciple lies the solution of war troubles.
Dr. Fisher said.
' "Christianise Mexico" la Advice.
The doctor had three "war ulanks"
which he presented- First, that not
one private corporation should profit
from the death of your and my boy;
second, that the sons of the million
aires go to the front; third, that there
be a favorable referendum by all moth
ers. "Spend $8,000,000 Christianizing Mex
ico," he said, "rather than that sum
wasted in pursuit of an elusive iwule
driver. Clean it up remove the cause
of the trouble by educating an Chris
tianizing the dark-skinned brothers
across the border." ,
The parents' education bureau of the
Oregon Congress of Mothers held their

ANEW invention which makes it

The trouble that some people have.
patricularly those who are not frequent
picture-goers, in keeping a number of
characters . straight in their minds
throughout a. film is eliminated by the
descriptive sentences thrown on the

itself, giving a continuous story of pic
ture and word. The action Is explained

of the story and its literary merit can

"The idea seems to have gotten
abroad that American film producers
oppose censorship because they desire
to make prurient pictures," said E. D.
Horkheimer, secretary of the Balboa
Company, recently.
This is an insult to every woman.
child and man in any way affiliated
with the moving picture industry. We
of the movies contend only for our
rights. I can conceive of a censorship
worked out after years of experience.
and in the hands exclusively of moving
picture men, that would work little
hardship upon the business, but to turn
this billion-dollar industry over to the
ignorant administration of a few politi
cal pie hunters, to be delegated by them
to incompete hirelings, is beyond my
ken as a free American citizen.
"Suppose we apply the principle to
the monthly magazines and turn them
over to a board of censorship made up
of one boiler manufacturer, one hod
carrier, one butcher, one junk dealer
and one trolley conductor.
That a a bit overdrawn, but wouldn't
it be fine? Fancy the junk dealer and
the butcher wrangling over one of Max
INQrdeau s articles; or the hod carrier
and the boiler maker with their ham

Withdrawal of Competing Boats

ft
SALEM. Or., July 11. (Special.)
How the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion in its decision in the Spokane or
Intermountain rate case avoided the
plain provisions of the fourth section
of the commerce act, prohibiting rail
roads which have reduced rates in
competition with water routes from
increasing them, is revealed in the
complete report of the case which was
received here by the Oregon Public
Service Commission today.
The leasons advanced by the Federal
body for its decision inimical to Pacific
Coast points in the matter of rates
shows that the Commission takes the
somewhat surprising stand that the
competitive rates which it is now pro-
osed to elevate were originally fixed
by the Commission itself, and. not by
the railroads. Under these conditions,
the Commission contends that an in
crease in rates as allowed is not con
trary to the commerce act, as argued
by representatives of the Coast cities.
It says:
The Commission Itself fixed the relative
measure of the rates to Intermediate points
in the case of the west-bound rates and
authorised the relative measure of the rates
from intermediate points proposed by the
carriers in the case of the east-toound rates
under the conviction that the rates to ana
from Intermediate Dolnts so proposed did
not unjustly discriminate against such
points.
L.an-axae Held I neons 1 latent .
Following this paragraph, in which
the Commission argues that it made
the rates, what some declare to be
inconsistent language, to say the least,
appears. The Commission continues:
The carriers have proceeded In tnls case
under the authority of the Commission to
make only such ratea to the Coast points
as would enable them to compete for and
share in this traffic, and the withdrawal of
boats from this service has not been on
account of the rates made by the rail car
riers with which the boats compete, but on
account of slides in the Panama Canal and
the extraordinary rise In ocean freights. The
ternporary withdrawal of the canal service
ln-thls instance is clearly not the result of
any act of the carriers or of this Commission.
Te continue rates to Coast points tnat
are lower than are necessitated by the ac
tual water competition, and higher rates to
Intermediate points, and to other points
over similar distances and under HKe clr-
ramstances. Is to perpetuate a discrimina
tion that is unjust.
. Competition Declared Aim. .
The Interstate Commerce Commission
declares that the primary purpose of
the fourth section of the act is to pre
serve and promote competition by
water carriers and holds that the act
must be so construed as to give ef
fect to that purpose. It reads:
If the rail rates between the two coasts
established in the light of conditions "-then
existing; should, through such a complete
chans:e of conditions as that which has so
recently come about, be now at & level so
Iovr as to make the service between tne two
coasts unattractive to the boat lines, should
they he readjusted to a basis tnat will at
tract the water carriers back to the service
and the primary purpose of the section be
achieved. or should they be held at the
present level and the legislative purpose to
a certain client be aeieatear
The Commission in its decision takes
the position that the provision of the
fourth section of the act permitting the
Commission to say to what extent the
carriers shall toe relieved from the op
eration of the fourth section, contem
plates a certain flexibility in the rates
at competitive points, varying with the
degree of competition found, and con
eludes that the Commission has author
ity to afford relief according to the
degree and extent of the competition.
Future Change Possible.
In conclusion the decision reads:
It is admitted that the present rates upon
schedule C articles from eastern defined ter-
ritories to Pacific Coast points, and the rates
on barley, beans, canned goods, asphaltum,
dried fruits and wine from California ports
to the Atlaiitlc seaboard are lower than the
present competition by water Justifies or
makes necessary. The maintenance of these
low rates to the coast points and higher
rates to or from intermediate points has the
effect under present circumstances of unduly
preferring the coast points and unjustly
discriminating against intermediate points.
This condition has existed for several
months. The recent withdrawal of the
principal steamship lines, however, and their
contracts for use In other lines af service
creates a pr-babillty that there will be but
little effective water service during the cur
rent year and perhaps for a considerable
period thereafter. We shall, therefore, re
sclnd. effective September 1. 1916. those por
tions of our orders relating to the schedule
C commodities and require that the rates
on these commodities from eastern deiined
territories to Pacific Coast terminals be
adjusted effective on that date in accordance
with the terms of our order respecting the
scheduled commodities. The order respond-
in.; to apnllcatioii No. 10336 respecting rates
on Iron and steel articles from - Pittsburg
and related points will likewise be re
sclnded, effective September 1, 1916. "We
shall rescind, effective September 1, 1916,
our orders responding to applications Nos.
9S13. 1O110. 10126. 101.15. 10186. and 10189
respecting rates on California products from
California porta via Gulf routes to the At
lantic seaboard. The rates on these articles
eastbound must be readjusted In strict ac
cord with the requirements of the fourth
section, except in so far as any of them
were by order permuted te deviate from
the requirements of the fourth section of the
act prior to the establishment of the pres
ent effective terminal rates eastbound. If
conditions should again materially change
so as to justify sucn action, petitions for fur
ther orders may be presented and they will
be oe&it wita as theecircumstances then ap
pearing may warrant.

of the Guard officers, and reads:
"Resolved. By the members of Scout

HUGHES IS GAINING
H. N. Lawrie Tells of Visit to
Republican Nominee.
NEED OF CHANGE ASSERTED
Oregon THeologist Declares Prepar
edness Ileal Issue and Need of
Different Class of Diplomacy
la Regarded as Essential.
II. N. Lawrie. chairman of the Ore
gon Bureau of Mines and Geology, has
just returned from an extended stay in
the East, where he represented the
state at several important mining con
ventions. Mr. Lawrie also took occasion to ob
serve and inquire into political condi
tions. He was in the East when the
political conventions were held and re
ports that the people are greatly in
terested in the forthcoming campaign.
When Mr. Hughes was Governor of
New York. Mr. Lawrie was a resident
of that aetate and formed a personal
acquaintance with the Governor. Just
before leaving New York a few weeks
ago he visited Mr. Hughes at his head
quarters and conferred with him on
various questions affecting the West.
I found that he. was in favor of
active development of our public lands
and resources," says Mr. Lawrie. "He
realises that any programme of true
preparedness must include a sound, eco
nomic development of our natural re
sources. "This pronouncement ' is vitally im
portant to the public land states of the
West, because only by the freedom of
this public domain for development can
the whole state become uniformly de
veloped."
Partisan Strife Subordinated.
Mr. Lawrie declares that partisan
considerations will be subordinated in
the coming election, "as properly they
should, when matters of National im
port of the first magnitude are to be
determined.
"I find." continued Mr. Lawrie. "that
the young, progressive Republicans and
former Progressives are rallying enthu
siastically to the support of Hughes,
and will have a large part In the direc
tion of his campaign.
"Moreover, he is attracting support
from the more courageous Democrats
who are tiring of the vacillations and
inconsistencies of the present Admin
istration." Mr. Lawrie reports the industrial dis
tricts of the East to be extremely active,
due to the manufacture of munitions.
"But." he added, significantly, "there
is no question that the declaration of
peace will paralyze the whole industrial
programme of the East and cause a
crisis in the labor market which will
take some time to adjust. There will
be need for a more able and construc
tive National administration in order to
perfect this readjustment after the war.
and while the East, which is profiting
heavily now, will suffer most, the w est
will profit by the Influx of Investors
and labor.
New Diplomacy Advocated.
"National preparedness is the para
mount issue of the day and upon this
issue will be determined the Presiden
tial fight thia Fall. Our diplomatic
service should be reconstructed and re
inforced, so that men of unquestioned
diplomatio ability can be appointed to
represent us abroad. Preparedness
within and adequate foreign repre
sentations without are the only safe
guards for peace and National honor.
Our diplomatic service really is our
first line of defense.
"It is becoming more evident every
day thaf the rank and file of the coun
try regard the rapidity of change In the
policy of the present Administration as
too vacillating a foundation upon which
to rest the future safety and welfare
of the country.
"The same rank and file find relief in
the selection of ex-Governor Hughes as
the Republican candidate. He is a man
of proved executive ability. His sense
of equity and justice has been severely
tried on many occasions and never
found wanting."

Parks, who concluded the investigation
today.
The couple were observed by county
oficials when they obtained, a permit
and it was the general impression they
had sworn to a false affidavit and were

The probation officer was then noti

of the Investigation. The case brought
a confession from permit clerks that
they find it difficult to judge a woman's
age owing to the short skirts now pop
ular with maids and matrons.
