TIIE MORNING OREGON! AN, WEDNESDAY, APRIL. 28," 1920 WILL H. HAYS TO BE WIN MI C Committee Chairman Practi cally Assured Job. GENERAL WOOD. FAVORED Other Republican Candidates Said to Have Indorsed Committee CiiicI for Position. CHICAGO. April 27. Will H. Hays, republican national committee chair man, has been indorsed by Major Oeneral Leonard Wood as campaign manager if the general is nominated by the convention here June 8. This announcement, made by Wood headquarters Monday, was said prac tically to assure Mr. Hays of the po sition, no matter who is nominated, and to end rumors that Wood, If fcuccebtful, would appoint Frank Hitchcock, former postmaster-general, bis campaign manager. The republican national committee has gone on record as opposed to the selection of anyone other than Hays. .Most candidates had indorsed Hays, but the position of General Wood re mained in doubt following the ar rival here of Mr. Hitchcock and the circulation of reports that he would displace Colonel William Cooper I'rocter of Cincinnati as the general's pre-convention campaign manager, and as director of the election cam paign, should Wood be ndminated. I'rocier Now In Charge. Colonel Proctor Monday announced that "so far as I know I am now In charge of General Wood'i pre-convention campaign." The question of the republican cam paign management was brought to a head last week when national com mittee and regional party heads ob jected to the selection of anyone but Hays. Among the most ardent sup porters of the chairman are Fred Upham, national treasurer, and Cap lain Victor Heintz, in charge of the republican regional headquarters here. Mr. Heintz announced he would re sign until the committee's indorse ment of Hays was accepted by the siii-ccEEful candidate. The present national committee will not appoint the campaign man ager. That will be left to the new committee, but it is expected that a majority of the committee will be re-elected. Committee Meet May in. The national committee meets here May 10 to complete plans for the convention, including selection of a temporary secretary and other of ficers. Senators Lodge and Borah have been mentioned as possible choice for permanent chairman.

Governor J'ranlt O. Lowden and General Wood have maintained national headquarters here for some time, while the managers for Sena tor Warren G. Harding have opened offices at intervals. On the democratic side only boost ers of Attorney-General Palmer have appeared. AUTO KILLS E. BENSON Driver Hacks Off Body and Leaves at High Speed.- OREGON CITY. Or., April 27.

Bill to Be Introduced Today to Af fect Incomes of All Dur ing War Years. WASHINGTON. April 27. A retro active tax on war profits has been definitely agreed on by house demo crats and insurgent republicans to raise funds for soldier relief legisla tion. Representatives Rainey, demo crat, Illinois, and Johnson, republican. South Dakota, in a statement last night announced a bill would be in troduced providing for collection of the tax. The plan of the republican leaders has not been finally agreed on but its main provision probably will be impo sition of a one per cent tax on sales. The battle on financing soldier bonus legislation, scheduled to commence in the house May 3. promises to hinge on these two conflicting schemes. Under the bill to be submitted to morrow, an SO per cent Sax will be levied on Individuals and corporate incomes "over and above the pre-war income" with the exemption of 120, 000 for individuals and $100,000 for corporations. "In case of an individual," the bill proposes, "the term .'war profits' means the amount by which his aver age net income for the taxable years 1317, 1918, 1919 and 1920, less the average income, war profits and ex cess profits taxes for such years ex ceed his net income for the taxable year of 1914. "In case of a corporation in exist ence duriag the pre-war period the term "war profits' means the amount by which its average net income for the taxable years 1917, 1018, 1919 and 1920. less its average income, war profits and excess profit taxes for such years exceed its average net in come ror the pre-war period (the cal endar years of 1911. 1112 and 19131. plus or minus, as the case may be, iu per cent or the difference between its average invested capital for the pre-war period and for its average in vested capital for the years 1917, 1918, 1919 and 1920." . Mr. Rainey said that the measure would raise $2,000,000,000 for carry ing out she soldier relief. BAPTISTS RAISE $185,861 Largest Individual Suscriptlon Re ported Is $16,000.

Sweeney,-Portland contractor and ex captain in the United States army expeditionary forces, the convention unanimously indorsed him for the position of representative in congress.

It was when the delegates were discussing the executive committee's proposal to form a county-wide or ganization for the purpose of carry ing on the war against Representative McArthur that Mr. Coulter arose and proceeded to expatiate upon the "merits" of the Non-Partisan league and. to make an appeal for Its "co operation" with labor, on the basis that the precinct organization be made permanent and that it "be used two years- hence by the league forces." Emphatic Protest is Made. "I enter a most emphatic and vig orous protest against any such, a thing," said Mr. Rynerson, "and de clare right now that labor should fight its own battles in Its own way. It should have no entangling alliances of any kind, Non-Partisan league or otherwise, but should hew to the line for its welfare as labor sees its needs.- No entangling alliances what ever should be our motto." , There were several other brief speeches of a similar nature and when the vote was taken, the Non-Partlsan league proposal was overwhelmingly defeated. The commiUee of five, comprising the executive committee, was author ized to proceed with precinct organi zation and as instructed to devote its exclusive time to. the defeat of Mr. McArthur, in conformity with the well-laid plans of organized labor.

AIRCRAFT for Business Use THE adaptability of aircraft to practical business purposes has become an established fact. Business men are coming to look on this swifter, cleaner method of travel as essential in the operation of a successful, up-to-date organization. The reason for this acceptance is the proven DEPENDABILITY of the more recent types. The NAVY, through the stress and strain of War, has learned valuable lessons which, incor porated in the construction of seaplanes and flying boats, have produced marvels of DEPENDABILITY. They are offering several hundred of these latest model seaplanes, many of them still in the original packing cases, at phenomenally low prices. These seaplanes and flying boats, having passed rigid NAVY inspection, are probably the most dependable type of aircraft in the world. They are not toys nor experimental jobs, but are similar to the types used by the NAVY today. They have low fuel cost per passenger mile, long flying range, and are able to withstand the waves and weather. These "plaxies are ALL NEW NEVER HAVE BEEN FLOWN Seaplanes already purchased from the Navy have proved good investments as passenger and express carriers.

Addresses were delivered by Dr. A. H. Johnson, deputy grand mas ter for Oregon, who succeeds to the post-of grand master in May, and by Judge M. C George, past gaii mas ter. Both Speaker Eloquent. Both speakers were eloquent in their portrayal of Oddfellowship and Its purposes, declaring that the order will come into its own as the fore most fraternal organization in the world. Dr. Johnson, in speaking of the Rebekahs, paid an especially mov ing tribute to womanhood and par ticularly to mothers. One of the most applauded numbers was the police di ill of Star lodge, with each of the score of evolutionists a member of the police bureau. With H. W. Wright acting as drillmaster the patrolmen wove intricate figures, evoking , applause time and again. They drew the outline of the gavel, the letters "L O. O. F.," the police star, and the letters "F," "L." and "T." that jn Oddfellowship designate the three principles Friendship. Love and Truth the motto of the order. Appreciated muuical mumpers were the cornet solos by Thomas Stebhens and C. G. Rapenny and the vocal solos by Mrs. A W. Claxon, with Mrs. Edith Stiles Miller as accompanist. The final number on the programme was the Rebekah drill, by sisters from various Rebekah ledges which was fully as intricate as the police drill and drew an equal testimonial of ap plause. At the close of the programme, with two hours ahead until midnight, the wings of the auditorium were cleared for dancing and the floors were thronged with couples. Musio was furnished by the Oddfellow band. Oddfellowship was the theme of much Jubilant gossip among those who lingered but did not dance.
