TIIE MORXrXG- OREGOXIAN. TUESDAY, SEPTE3IBER 26, 1916. PAYROLLS NEEDED, SAYS MR. M'ARTHUR September 0 o Check on Development Laid to Neglect by Congress of Water-Power Bills. MORE CAPITAL NECESSARY Shipbuilding Enterprises Are Be lieved to Meet Xced of Hour, but Plants of Every Kind Are Fa vored to Insure 'Prosperity. In a speech before the luncheon of the members' council of the Portland Chamber of Commerce yesterday, C. N. McArthur, Representative in Congress from this district, emphasized the need of a constructive programme to work for more payrolls and intensified farm ing. "Since I left Portland last Novem ber," said Mr. McArthur, "it has been my fortune to visit most of the large towns and many of the small ones along the New England coast. I was impressed, very forcibly impressed, by the one thing common to all these towns which we in Portland and in the Northwest generally lack, and that is payrolls. "Wherever you have payrolls you have prosperity. Another thing they have in New England that we need here is intensified farming. Capital Needed for Factories. "In every little town that I saw in New England they had factories. There were industries for the manufacture of things one would never think of as an industry. One town had a toothpick factory. Another town had a canoe factory. And they used their avail able water power to run these fac tories. "We in Portland and in Oregon must do what we can to encourage capital to come in here. We need more capi tal to build up industries such as these, that will give our workingmen work and increase our payrolls. We must do what we can to develop our agricul tural resources adjacent to Portland. "One thing that will help bring pros perity is the development of the water power resources of this section. There is an enormous amount of undeveloped water power that is naturally tribu tary to this city. Yet Congress neglect of this matter of developing the water power of the Northwest has been al most criminal. PonrrKR Rlamed for Neerlect. "The House passed one bill relative to development of water power on the public domain. The Senate got it. tacked on a lot of amendments, and it is still in conference. The same is true of the so-called Shields-Adamson bill. 1 think the neglect of Congress has been shameful. It has neglected legis lation of this kind for less important matters." Mr. McArthur said he favored sensi ble conservation of resources, but thought that permitting streams hav ing millions of potential power to waste their undeveloped energy flow ing to the sea was hardly conserving water power for future generations. He emphasized the need of manufacturing nitrates from the air to make this country independent In time of war. tlnued Mr. McArthur. "and that brings me to the progress of shipbuilding, which I notice being handled here in a practical manner. "If we are to keep up in the indus trial race after the war. and are to be able to carry 'Our products to the mar kets of the world we must build our own ships to carry these products. The men of Portland who are backing the shipbuilding enterprise here and are building bottoms to carry the products of this section abroad, are to be con gratulated." BETTER PRODUCTS IS TOPIC "Meeting Today to Consider Method of Raising Standards. Higher standards of purity for all Oregon-made food products is the aim of the Consumer's League and in this effort the Bureau of Industries and Manufactures of the Chamber of Com merce is co-operating. A meeting will be held today at 3 o'clock on the fifth floor of the Cham ber, at which representatives of both organizations will be present and at which measures for standardization and improvement of standard will be discussed. J. D. Mickel and Mrs. A. C. Newell will be the principal speakers. A. J. Bale, chairman of the committee from the Chamber, will preside. TAXICABS MUST GET TAGS Police Beg-in Enforcement of Xew Traffic Ordinance. Taxicabs, sight-seeing automobiles and for rent cars either must display their license tags from now on or be driven from the streets. The police Btarted yesterday to enforce the new ordinance requiring the cars of this class to obtain licenses. The designat ing mark is a large letter "A" on a blue enamel plate on the front of the car. Applications for permits have been filed by 132 drivers, of which number licenses have been granted to 114. The remaining 18 have repairs to make to their machines before getting the per mits.

The engineer has the following to say of the invention which is to great ly improve the cinema: For many years I have been mak ng all sorts of experiments with re- gara 10 me cola lignt and I am happy to say that my discovery has been crowned with success. Monsieur le Professor Branly, who submitted it the other day to the Academies des Sciences, has proved the great value of my invention. "With regard to the kinematograph. my new invention does away alto gether with any danger of inflaming the film and we obtain even a. strong er light than the present one used for the projection of films, but the light is, as I said, absolutely cold; it will be possible to project the films on celluloid without any danger, or else from a photograph on paper. Another big advantage of my discovery and of great interest to the cinemas will be that all films will be seen in a bright lighted room. My cold light possesses such power that pictures will be seen quite distinctly on the screen, the the ater fully lighted. W. have tried it the other day In private and can assure you that the pictures were very distinct in spite of all the windows being open in the day time. You will agree that my invention will totally change the cinemas. There are many thousands of people who ob ject to sitting down In the dark for a couple of hours. Soon you shall be able to show your films in the bright daylight. No doubt it will greatly improve tne cinemas. Mazamas In Pictures. "Mazamas and the Three Sisters" Is the title of a film surprise the Co lumbia Theater is offering as an added programme feature this week. The film is surprising because of its com edy phases, splendidly presented in pic ture and sub-title. One expects some gorgeous snow and mountain scenery, and there is no disappointment on that score. But the presentation of the many pranks the Mazamas, from sliding via feet, ear. nose or perhaps "dia-sliders," to the gliding of an octet of mermaids from snowbanks Into wa ter so cold the spectator shivers in sympathy are amusing novelties. The interest is naturally heightened by the presence of Chief Riley and so many Portland people who took the trip to the Three Sisters last August. Photographer Sill and Director Bruce are to be congratulated upon the ex cellence of a film that Is certain to be treasured as a part of the Mazama archives. Preacher's Movie School. The Rev. James O'May, a Methodist minister of Aurora, 111., has opened a school for the teaching of moving pic ture methods for church purposes. Hav ing thoroughly proved the value of the pictures in church work, this clergy man is. by lectures, telling his asso ciates in the ministry of the good re sults obtained and giving them hints on the operating of the machine and the workings of the exchanges. At the conference where this school Is held the majority of the ministers In dorsed present-day methods of church activities, which Included athletics and moving pictures, contending that these met the physical and mental demands of the present day, showing that If the church must not only succeed, but hold her place with the young people at large, she must add the physical and mental care to the spiritual In terests of her adherents. Without doubt this is the common and growing ex perience of all ministers. Screen Gossip. With the completion of his contract for work in Fine Art Triangle films, DeWodf Hopper this week started on a motor trip with his family to New York. He has been at the Fine Arts studio for one year and appeared in a number of successful photoplays. which constitute his screen career to this time.

The contract has been offered by a well-known vaudeville firm In the Bast and guarantees Mr. Kerrigan not less than $100,000 for the 62 weeks, and. as this contract was said to contain a per centage clause, it is estimated that his income will be more than double the figures named.
