"A .department for finding: costs is as Important to the printer as the machine to do the work," said Henry M. Hastings of Oakland, Cal.t print ing expert, who has standardized printing prices in the San Francisco bay cities. Inlform Baxis Advocated. He described the printers, who hes itated to investigate cgt accounting systems an not applying business methods. He declared that there should be a uniform basis for all printers, which should provide for the upkeep of the plant and for the print er's present and future needs. Mr. Hastings stated that the graphic system of pride determination is ef fective only through organization in the community, so that each printer ba.es his price on the same definite knowledge and knows at the time that it is the minimum price. The application of cold-blooded business methods to a newspaper was advocated by George Huntington Cur- re ey of the Vale Enterprise in his talk on "A Scientific Cost Analysis in a Country Shop."

Under my present system of accounting I find that I can make one dollar make two, where I formerly Jo-l money, Mr. Currey classified the business of a newspaper as production, selling ano accountancy, and placed account ancy as the most important of all. IC. W. Sawyer of the Bend Bulletin related his experiences with a cost system installed in his office one year ago. "So far as I am concerned." be said. "I would almost as soon quit the business as to give up our cost record and go back to the former method." A reliable price list Is the only system, in the opinion of Lloyd Riches of the Oregon City Enterprise, who spoke on "How to Be Absolutely Sure About Your Prices." Arcoaoffn Explained. Eric W. Allen, dean of the school of journalism, explained an account ing system which Is said to be more simple than those now in use.

NEW OMENTAL LINE Pli MONTHLY AIUXGS TO CHIX FBOM PORTIiAVD PROPOSED, Intention of Pacific Steamship Company Given Out ny A. F, Haines, Vice-President. . - The establishment of steamship service with monthly sailings from Portland to north China ports in ad dition to the present 23-day service maintained with the rest of th orient is the intention of the Pacific Steamship company, according to A. F. Haines, vice-president and general manager of the company, who wai in the city yesterday. Sir. Haines is on his way. from Washington, D. C, where he appeared before the senate committee on com merce with recommendations for the future merchant marine policy of the United States, to the headquarters of the Admiral line in Tacoma. On his way, he stopped at San Francisco to urge upon H. H. Ebey, assistant director of operations for the emerg' en cy fleet corporation, the allocation of more flhips for the Portland-North China service. The only satisfaction he gained, he . said yesterday, was the 'HBsuranc that vessels could no be assigned to this service immediate ly beca-use of the need for bottoms in the movement of flour to Europe from the Atlantic coast - and because ; a& long as shipping board steamers built In Japan are moving from that coun try with cargoes to the Pacific coast, return freight will be light for tn vessels in the regular trans-Pacific service. The plan proposed by Mr. Haines is to confine the five ships now in the Portland-Orient line to Manila and Hongkong for their oriental ports of call, and place another fleeet in service between Portland and Japan, Shanghai, Tsingtau, Dalren Taku Bar and other north China ports. f The establishment of a north China line would invade a trade , territory, according to Mr. Haines, that has heretofore been almost exclusively in the hands of the Japanese. There is an unusually strong demand now for such & line from this port, especially ior tne movement 01 lumoer. The nucleus of this line. has' already been formed by the allocation of the steamer Wawalona to uly between Portland and Japanese -- ports ex clusively, while the other five vessels in the Portland Oriental service touch at the other ports of the far east. COALING STATIOX XOT LIKED Virgin Islands, Declared to Be-Far Off of. Steamer Lanes, v ' WASHINGTON; Feb. : 20. Abandon ment of the Virgin Islands and Its capital, St. Thomas, as coaling st tions for shipping- board vessels was advocated today by the joint congree- ional committee studying irSin islands administrative problems. Captain Thomas Foley, shipping board bunkering expert, explained that St. Thomas lies 400 miles farther east than Barbadoes and Kingston, tne isritisn coaling1 bases, ana involt ing a detoir of 800 miles for South American bound vessels.

The vessel will go as far south as Antofaraeta. ; An increase in the transpacific fleet of Mitsui & Co. this sprine to .at least -five big- carriers, is anticipated by representa tives or the big Japanese shipping ocrjro ration in Seattle. Members of the traffic staff of James Griffiths & Sons, agents on this coast ior Mitsui & Co., said today that the service performed by the steam- sii i ps Tsu i n si an Maru, Man dasan Ma ru. Miikesan Maru and Horafsan Muru wiU be supplemented by i he addition of another big carrier to the fleet, which will make possible two Mitsui sailings from Seattle for ports in the far east in May. Because of the unfavorable rate of ex change witli the United Kingdom, Seattle shipping men believe that more of the Japanese carriers, which have been plying between the orient and England and con tinental Europe will be diverted to the Puet sound ttade. . Following the Tsururisan will come the steamship Mandasan Maru, due in Everett March 10 with a cargo of 120,000 cases of oriental OIL The Mandasnn will come to Seattle to load lor Yokohama and Kobe.
