PAYROLLS NEEDED,
SAYS MR. M'ARTHUR

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

Btarted yesterday to enforce the new

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

OLD light," stronger than the
ght now used for projection
so strong that all films can
be screened in a bright-lighted room,
and yet so cold that it will be possi
ble to project the films on celluloid
without danger, or else from a photo
graph on paper, is the invention of
Dassaud. the famous French engineer.
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.
