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. . .
We detnunfl. proof that O) th Plumb plan
Is socialistic; (2) it is in the interest only of
the railroad workers; (3) it will injure
taxpayers, shippers and the general pub
lic. We can Drove, in 1olnt debate or
otherwise, that the Plumb plan will bene-
iii worxars, shippers, farmers and all
consumers and ull classes excepting; ex
cessively overpaid railroad presidents and

Your statement that r?lnn P! Plumh in

by a man in St. Louis is an absolute false
hood. Pages 852, 6B and 697 ot the testi
mony before congress. August 20 to 27,
H. n. 437S. shows that vour state
ment is absolutely false. We challenge
you to publish all of Glenn E. Plumb's
testimony regarding this.

We challenge you to disorove. before the
voters of Multnomah county, its state

hour, according to Herbert Nunn,
state highway engineer, who arrived
here last night from the south in
company, with the members of the

to drag roads not yet paved. This
work will be done by the state in co
operation with- the engineers em
ployed by the various county ooufts.
From- Ashland to Grants Pass the
state highway is paved practically the
entire distance, according to Mr.
Nunh, and the speed of the traveler
Is regulated only by the state traffic
laws.
From Smith hill to Cow creek can
yon the road is excellent. The road
through Cow creek canyon is rough.
From the mouth of the canyon to

to detour, as Improvement work on
the road is under way.
SOLDIER RELIEF SET BACK
Rival Political AVhtps Agree to
Postpone Action.
WASHINGTON, May 6. After a se
ries of informal conferences, demo
cratic and republican members of the
house agreed today there was no
prospect of enactment of soldier re
lief legislation before the forthcom
ing recess for- the political Conventions.
Representative Knutson of Minne
sota, the republican whip, said that
many members felt that the whole
question should go over until after
the November election So as to avoid
the possible injection of partisanship
in its consideration.
Representative Garner of Texas,
democratic whip and member of the
ways and means committee which
conducted extensive hearings on re
lief legislation, declared sentiment
was "rapidly changing" and that a
majority of the democratic members
of the committee were "willing to let
the bill continue to sleep in com
mittee."

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."

LAND, PROBLEMS DEBATED
Rural Oregon Said to Need - Good
Roads and Easier Credit.
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.
Mr. Chapin, is-purchasing agent for
the King's Dehydrated Food Products
company at Salem, and has the dis
tinction of having been the first coun
ty agricultural agent in the state of
Oregon R. W, Gill acted as chairman.
He urged the co-operation of the busi
ness men and the city folk generally
to help the farmer with the problems
of ample credit and- scientific mar
keting. Mr. Chapin said he feared the logan
berry retail market could not handle
berries at 14 cents without cutting
down the volume of business consid
erably. Oregon is having competition
in the loganberry field, he said, from
New Zealand, Australia and other
points.

HOWELL VENIRE FUTLE
Eight Men Remain of 163 Called
for Murder Jury.
MARSHFIELD, Or.. May 6. (Spe
cial.) Another special venire of 36
men, the fourth since the trial started.
was ordered this evening by Judgf
Coke, in the circuit court, in the Har
old Howell murder case. This makes
total of 163 men who have been
called for examination. Today those
examined were excused for some
cause one after another and not a
single Juror was selected.
There are still only eight men
chosen. Attorneys in the case today
would not venture a prediction of
when a jury would be completed after
the discouragement of a whole day
without result.
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.

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.
