Kansas Governor's Inaugural
Address Adds to Fame.
POPULAR ISSUES TO FRONT
AVhilc Campaign Ran Itself Kansas

Ir'ront as Worker to Aid Men.
"WASHN'GTON. Jan. 20. A new can
didate for the Republican Presidential
nomination with a diversity of'strong
points looms high and bright on the
political horizon.
Whether he has thought of himself
as a possibility or not is not known,
but if Henry J. Allen had been cherish
ing the ambition to make himself
strong in the National campaign two
years hence a better kickoff than his
boom received at the occasion of his
inauguration as Governor of Kansas
a. few days ago would not have been
possible.
He discussed what in these times,
now that the war is over, is the most
popular issue, namely, was there gross
mismanagement, were America's sol
dier boys mistreated and were needless
lives sacrificed?
TVominatlon Kan:: Itaelf.
Governor Allen was near the front
throughout the most of the fighting
period after the United States entered
the war. He was there for the Y. M.
'. A. and as a Red Cross worker. In
this connection he saw his duty to his
country first and remained In France
throughout the campaign for nomina
tion and election, letting his political
fortunes take care of themselves.
The voters of Kansas did not forget
rtim. however, because he was not
home to tell them about himself. They
nominated him overwhelmingly as the
Itepublican candidate for Governor in
his absence and elected him by a
majority which, on a percentage basis,
"was the largest margin ever given to
a candidate for Governor by the state.
His inaugural address pointed out
weaknesses and abuses in the war
management as they came to his at
tention in a first-hand study at the
front. lie said that the American peo
ple who had to remain at home were
never apprised of the real facts and
ihat they were lulled into a sense of
false security when American boys
"were being killed in swarms by the
(lermans because our own troops were
Fhort of artillery defenses and air
plane equipment. Reports of the
I'nited States troops dominating the
air in their own sector, he said, were
false and that it was merely a "hot
air'' domination,.
Address Cabled to Europe.
Rut what was more important Gov
ernor Allen said something that got
him into the newspapers, making the
only inaugural address which so far
this year has been carried to all parts
of the country by the press associations
and cabled to Europe.
The prominence which his speech
received in the newspapers was not
siltogether due to what he said but
partly to the fact that Henry J. Allen
was a National figure before he was
nominated for Governor of Kansas.
3 le has been editor of the Wichita Bea
con for many years and as a publicitst
ranks with William Allen White and
the late Alfred Henry Lewis.
lie was for a time correspondent of
the Kansas City Star here in Wash
ington, devoting his attention solely
to political topics and made some
friendships while here that will make
it difficult for him to keep out of print
henceforth if, as Governor, he says
anything of interest to the public at
large.
Harm to Other Raomn Seen.
When the press report of his inaug
ural address appeared in Washington
a Republican statesman who had been
living in a well lightnicg-rodded at
mosphere for some time, was one of
the first to acknowledge that the new
Governor of Kansas was in position to
lo tremendous harm to other am
bitious Presidential booms.
He pointed out that Allen occupies
an enviable position in that, having
heen at the war front, he speaks the
language of the Yankee soldier and
"will speak and write of the questions
uppermost in the minds of the return
ing heroes, but, he said, there are other
elements of strength possessed by the
Kansas Governor which must not be
tinderestimated.

STEEL SHIPS ASKED
BY PACIFIC COMPANY
New Line From Portland to
Far East to Be Started.
JAPAN OFFICE WILL OPEN
A. K. Haines Announces Organiza
tion Is Proceeding While Govern
ment's Answer Is Awaited.
The admission was made yesterday
that the Pacific Steamship Company
has made formal application to the
United States Shipping Board for the
assignment of steel steamers to the
company's line for operation between
Portland and Far Eastern ports.
It was reported a few days ago that
such a step had been made. A. F.
Haines, vice-president of the company,
while in the city yesterday, said appli
cation had been made, but that he
does not know how much time will
elapse before, vessels will be. placed
at the disposal of the organization.
"The attitude of the Shipping- Hoard
has been that the first ports to be
served in the Pacific are those where
a congestion in cargo exists, so f our
ships have been ordered placed in op
eration out of Puget Sound." said Mr.
Haines. "Out plans for Portland are,
of course, for a new line, and we ex
pect to be assigned tonnage as soon as
the Shipping Board feels the conges
tion el.se where has been relieved."
The Pacific interests have established
offices at Yokohama and Manila, and
have a representative in Japan now
who has been instructed to open a
Kobe office. It is estimated that-the
annual, expenditures for the agencies
across the Pacific will approximate
$60,000. It is indicated the corporation
intends its entrance into the trans
Pacific trade shall be permanent. An
important agency in that connection is
maintained in New York and strong
bids are promised for transcontinental
patronage.
Mr. Haines returned to Seattle last
night. He had no announcement to
make relative to inauguration of the
Far Eastern service, saying the com
pany was proceeding with its organ
ization quietly and preferred to with
hold details until the officers were in
a position to make known that tonnage
had actually been allotted and when
the ships would be started.
"When that time arrives we will be
only too glad to have it known, as we
will have a strictly Portland line, want
Portland business, and wish to have
Portland's influence and good will with
us," he said. "The field is here, as
has been proven before, only we feel
that the field can be broadened to the
advantage of this harbor as well as
the steamship company." '
Wooden Ships Offer Continues.
WASHINGTON-, Jan. 20. Wooden
ships will continue to be offered for
charter free of trade control, but sub
ject to rate regulation, the Shipping

The Crowley Company announced today, that
a cut of not less than 20 per cent would be
made in the rates now charged for local
lighterage. The cheaper rate, which will
bring the prices down nearly as low as the
rates existing before the war, is made pos
sible on account of the recent cut in the cost
of ropes and other equipment used in the
lighterage service. The price of lines and
hawsers wu cut from 33 cents to 22 cents
a pound about a week ago, and other mate
rial is coming down in proportion. Jack
Crowley said the company had in view the
establishing of rates for work done that
would prove an attraction to the shippers.

U. S. CONTROL DF RAIL
LIES PROTESTED
Oregon Public - Service Com
missioner Cites Abuses.
RATE INEQUITIES ALLEGED
Authority GlTen President During
War Approved, but Further Ex
tension of Control Is Opposed.
SALEM, Or.. Jan. 20. (Special.)
Protest against any further extension
or time of Government control of rail
roads waa made today by the Oregon
Public Si-rvlce Commission. In a com
munication sent by Commissioner Corey
to Charles E. fcllmquist. president of
the National Association of Railroad
and Utility Commissioners.
The communication declares that
flatrrant abuse of the power granted
by Congress in the recent past is cause
for rryjch apprehension as to the result
of further extension of Federal control
for five years as proposed.
A buae of Power Alleged.
The communication follows:
"Supplementing our telegram of the
13th instant In re additional five years
Government control of railroads:
"We wish to state further that,
owing to the flagrant abuse of the
power granted by Congress during the
past short period of control, we are
very apprehensive of the reault of a
further extension of such power.
"That the federal Government, in
order to secure priority and the ut
most facility In the movement of
troops, munitions and supplies during
our preparation for and in the prosecu
tion of the war. had the absolute right
to assume control of tho Nation's
transportation systems is unques
tioned; but now that tho war is over
we have no hesitancy in pointing out
the abuse of the power placed in the
hands of the director-general.
N lleariag Granted.
"To our minds Congress did not In
tend to clothe the President with the
power to initiate or Increase rates In
discriminately. This should be appar
ent when we stop to consider the scope
and obvious intent of the several war
measures. Discussion of the Overman
bill in the Senate indicates clearly that
the authority granted the President to
initiate freight rates was to be exer
cised only in cases of real and pressing
emergency, such as arose directly dur
ing the war.
"Congress made cmple provision for
tbe betterment find rehabilitation of
such roads as did not meet certain
standards of efficiency before the 25
per cent horizontal increase was put
Into effect. This increase was made
without the formality of public hear
ing; without the advice of the Inter
state Commerce Commissions, or with
out the consent of the several states,
and against the protests of the ship
ping public, and this, too, in face of
the fact that ihe Interstate Commerce
Commission and 7 state commissions
have kept close supervision over rail
road rates for years. This is an ar
bitrary exerciso of power, in utter dis
regard of the people's and state's
rights.
"The laws creating state commissions
prescribe the manner in which rate
increases shall be made. Invariably ap
plicant must justify the necessity for
the increase by a showing made at
a public hearing.
Action Deemed Ill-Advlaed.
"Thit the ac'ion of the Railroad Ad
ministration in relation to our rail
roads was ill-timed and ill-advised may
be gathered from the obvious predica
ment of our short-line roads and the
extreme handicap under which our
many industries are laboring, owing to
a greater proportional Increase in rates
than competitors more favorably situ
ated with reaard to distance from mar
kets in the Middie west arid Kast.

This is a very common remark but people
are beginning to learn that a cold is a matter
not to be trifled with, .that some of the most
serious diseases start with a cold. As soon as
the first indication of a cold appears take

of it as quickly as possible.

der Federal control for five years mrre
it is hardly to be expected that the
traffic directorate, constituted as it im
of men who for years have had control
of the roads and who are responsible
for Ihe many discriminations which
the people of the Wet have patriotic
ally acquiesced in to this time, could
ever be made to see the irregularities
of many of the present rate relatlo -ships.
"A review of freight tariffs will dis
close that many of the rate structures
have been made for the benefit of par
t'cular favored localities, shippers or
Jobbers. If regulation by commissions,
state and interstate, have not yet elim
inated all discriminations, it is folly
to thi..k that j.n appeal to the very
men responsible for these existing con
ditions will bring about -ny relief or
betterments.
"We believe we are fully justified In
opposing further extension of time of
federal control of railroads by reason
of our many futile attempts during the
past year to secure recognition in be
half of the people of this state In mat
ters of glaring irregularities and dis
crimination Ooldendale Conditions Belter.
