TITE MORNING OREGONIAN, FRIDAY, MAY 7, 1920 ROADS ASK HUGE LOAN OF CONGRESS $500,000,000 Is Wanted Buy Rolling Stock. to FREIGHT RISE PROPOSED Increase of 2 4 Per Cent West of Mississippi Declared Xced Before Commission. WASHINGTON, May 6. Railroad executives today asked congress for an additional J500.000.000 with which to buy rolling stock during the com ing year. Appearing before the senate inter state commerce committee, represent atives of carriers declard that a seri ous and general car shortage existed through the middle west and that they were unable to borrow money on their own credit for- freight cars Deeded to remedy the situation. Trnst Certificates Proposed. Samuel Rf-a, president of the Penn sylvania system, speaking for the roads, said that the government if it furnished the money, could take equipment trust certificates for se curity and hold them until they could be sold advantageously to general in vestors. Some idea of what th roads needed in the way of equipment was given the committee by E. N. Brown, chair man of the St- Louis & San Fran cisco railroad, who declared the pres ent shortage amounted to 226,000 freight cars, 3190 locomotives and 6000 passenger cars. He believed they could get along for a time with 100, 800 freight cars and locomotives, the the total cost of which was estimated at $616,000,000. Mr. Crown testified that the car riers had paid as high as 7 per cent interest on equipment funds in ther open market and finally had been told that $150,000,000 was all that eould bo borrowed for that purpose. Grain Men Reqnent Meeting. The railroad executives were called before the committee as the result of requests from western grain men that congress appropriate 300.000.000 for building cars. The grain men said Vast quantities of foodstuffs were being held in storage in the west be cause of a lack of cars to move them to market and that this was a con tributing factor to the high cost of food. RATES MUST RISE IS REPORT Systems Ifeed $353,893,000 to Make 6 Per Cent Income. WASHINGTON, May 6. Western railroads need an additional $352,893, 000 to bring their net income up to six per cent on their property invest ment of $8,963,883,000, provided by the transportation act. the interstate commerce commission was informed today by Samuel M. Felton of Chica go, chairman of the western executive rate committee. To provide this sum freight rates in the territory west of the Mississip pi must be increased 21 per cent, he taid. Trunk Lines Ask Raise. With the presentation of this appli cation the commission had before it the requests of all the trunk line railroads for increased rates. Dates for hearings will be eet later, if any protests against the rajtes are filed. Mr. Felton told the commission that railroad facilities were not commen curate with present demands. Mr. Felton estimated that the im mediate needs of the railroads of the country for new rolling stock 'at S610,000,000 and said it would be difficult for them to borrow money on their own credit at this time. Iarge sums, he said, also must be ex pended for other new equipment and for new construction, and in addi tion the western carriers must re fund about $430,000,000 of maturing obligations this year and next. Income Drops, Assertion. Declaring that the net income of the w3tern carriers fell from $460, 181,000 in 1916 to $261,456,000 in 1919. Mr. Felton said that a recasting of the 1919 account to the present cost of labor, coal and materials reduced the current net basis to $126,027,000. To raise this income to eix per cent on the property investment will re quire, he estimated, an increase of 17 per cent in all revenues. Since there is no Intention to raise passenger tar iffs the needed increase must be ob tained by advancing freight rates 24 per cent. Long standing differentials and rate relationships, Mr. Felton Bald, should be carefully observed in readjusting the tariffs. . .

"The American Jersey" was the sub ject of the address given by Mr. Dunn, who for many years has been closely identified with the livestock interests of the United States. "I am surprised at the progress made by the Jersey breeders of Oregon," said Mr. Dunn, and I want to say that you have some Of the finest cattle in the United States. With this industry firmly im planted in your state you should real ize the necessity of publicity. Tell he people of the world about your cattle and it will not be long until f Oregon will rank at the head of the ersey producing sections of the Unit ed States." D.

Good roads, easier and better credit to the farmer and the establishment of a comprehensive, workable scheme for clearing the land are the neces sary steps toward the proper develop ment of western. Oregon, according to the declaration of L. J. Chapin of Salem in addressing the Progressive Business Men's club at its regular weekly luncheon yesterday at the Benson hotel.

Claims of Rapid Increase in Mem bership Among Farmers of Oregon Doubted. Active steps to forestall the Non partisan league organizers, who are said to be working In Oregon, are being taken by the State Taxpayers' league. Under the auspices of the latter organization a meeting is to be held at the Portland Chamber of Commerce' tomorrow. It will be at tended by business men, farmers and fruit growers. The programme which the non partisan league is proposing for Ore gon is alleged to include state own ership of grain elevators and flour mills,, a state-owned packing plant, cold storage warehouses, a chain of retail stores, a state-operated bank and state guarantee of bank deposits for all banks. R. K. Smith Doubts Claim. Robert E. Smith, secretary of the State Taxpayers' league, declares that this is the same programme of state socialism which has failed in North Dakota, where the league- is on the decline. "I believe that the league will gain little headway in Oregon because its citizens are opposed to socialism and single tax," he said last night. 'I am Inclined to discredit the claims of the organizers who state that Ore gon farmers are joining the league in large numbers. Its adherents, in my opinion, will be limited to a few disgruntled farmers who are really socialists at heart, but who don't know It. "The citizens of the state ehould be informed of the failure of the league in North Dakota 'and the sedi tious character of its socialist leaders. Loyal Oregon, which was first in volunteer enlistments, libery bond sales and all patriotic drives, will not prove a fertile field for these agitators." The principal topic for considera tion at the meeting tomorrow will be a market commission bill similar to that adopted in California. -Commissioner Weinstock of California will be in attendance to explain the workings of the California commission and the results which it has accomplished. The proposed market commissioner would be a state agent, who would promote the organization of pro ducers' organizations and co-ordinate their efforts by securing world-wide market information. Oregon labels would be encouraged in order that Oregon products may ' be advertised and standard packs and grades would be required if the proposed bill i passed. Hector McPherson, C. E. Spence, J.

Of Interest to Portland Motor Car Distributors A new plan for manufacturing, assembling and distributing motor cars to meet the present freight conditions which are sure to become more acute in the future in place of being improved, as well as being a plan to produce a high-class motor car and put it in the garage of the owner at the lowest possible cost. F. F. Beall, who for twelve years has been connected with the Packard Motor Car Company, and for the past seven j'ears as Vice-President and in charge of manufacturing, under whose manufacturing management the Packard Company have produced Packard cars, Packard Trucks and Lib erty Motors of a quality that has set the standard for the world, has be come the President and General Manager of a new corporation known as the Gray Motor Corporation. This Corporation will put on the market immediately a high grade, moderately priced motor car. It is the purpose of the Gray Motor Corporation to produce a car of the highest possible type in its price class, which will be distributed and as sembled under an entirely new plan. The Parent Company, which is organized around the old established Gray Motor Company of Detroit, will build the complete cars unassembled in Detroit. These unassembled cars are to be shipped to ten different assembly plants located at convenient points in the United States. Each shipment consists of a carload of complete units that in a few hours can be converted into a finished car at a saving in freight charges that' is sufficient to give a good profit on the car. The Gray Motor Corporation is prepared to enter into a contract for establishing an assembly plant in Portland. This plant is to be inde pendently owned and operated by local owners. This plan of distributing cars accomplishes : First: A certainty of delivery, because any type of freight car can be used for shipping these boxed parts. Second: A very important saving in freight. Third: The advantage of having the car locally built. Fourth : The assurance to the distributor of his being able to handle the same car year after year and retain the business he builds up. Fifth : Great economy in storage space, as the cars are only assembled as required, or as storage space is available. This advertisement will appear but once.
