PROTEST IS IMILING
ADMIRAL BEXSOX OVERRULES
PORTLAND CHAMBER.
Establishment of Shipping Board
Headquarters at Seattle Is
Reaffirmed.
SEATTLE. Wash., July 16. (Spe
cial.) Protests by Portland against
the decision of the shipping board to
make Seattle the headquarters of the
new north Pacific district of the oper
ating division will prove unavailing,
according to a telegram received this
morning by the Seattle Chamber of
Commerce from Rear-Admiral Ben
son, chairman of the board.
"The headquarters will be estab
lished in Seattle." says the telegram,
which added that 'the protests by
Portland will not be considered. .
The new operating district" com
prises Washington and Oregon. Here
tofore the whole coast has been or
ganised as one district, with head
quarters in San Francisco, though
the Atlantic coast was organized in
half a dozen districts, most of them
with commerce much, less than Se
attle alone.
The Portland Chamber of Com
merce a few days ago announced it
would oppose Seattle's selection as
headquarters for the new district.
Admiral Benson's telegram this morn
ing is regarded as settling the ques
tion for all time. The shipping board
is expected soon to make the new dis
trict order effective, and Seattle will
then report direct to Washington, D.
C, Instead of San Francisco.

BUDGET SYSTEM INDORSED
"
- i - a - v nnnrvvr
-DUDGIN G
BY WEALTH'S
EXPLAINED BY EDUCATOR,
Professor Seligmaa Would Increase
Tobacco Tax to Swell Rev
cnue $200,000,000.
The national budget system was in
dorsed and an Income tax to raise
state and municipal revenues,, was
urged by Dr. E. R. A. Seligman. pro
fessor of economics in Columbia unl
verslty. speaking before a Joint meet
ing of the city and Portland press
clubs at the Benson hotel at noon yes
terday. .
The speaker told of the methods
employed by wealthy easterners to
dodge the Income tax by investing
their entire wealth in non-taxable
government and municipal bonds.
Some method should be found, he as
serted, to reach this class of tax-
dodgers and make them pay a part of
government expenses through their
incomes.
The federal system of taxation was
outlined and the losses in revenue
through prohibition were referred to.
The speaker recommended the "toning
down" of'the upper scale of tha pres
ent Income tax and advocated the
elimination of the excess-profits tax.
This tax. he said, should be changed
because It affects the wrong man.
Other taxes recommended by Profes
sor Seligman were: An increase in
taxation on tobacco which would
yield an Increased revenue of $200,
000,000 annually, a like amount raised
through ,a stamp tax and another
1200,000,000 through a revised estate
and inheritance tax, and a flat rate
on corporate profits.

STANDING ENDED
Dentist Saj-s Tanlac Completely
Restored His Health;
Feels Fine Now.
"I never would have believed that
any medicine could do so much for a
person as Tanlac has done for me, ior
It has not only relieved me of a long
standing case of indigestion, but has
also put me in fine shape," recently
deolarad Dr. A. M. Curl, the well-

me trouble, and got so much worse
about a year ago that 1 started to
have awful pains after every meal.
Everything I ate would sour and form
gas that bloated me up until I was
In agony. I had an excess of saliva,
and bitter liquid would come up into
my mouth. I lost all det-ire to eat,
and in fact the very sight of food
nauseated me. and often after sitting
down to a meal I had to leave the
table without touching a bite. I was
troubled a great deal with constipation
and often had spells of dizziness. I
tried all kinds of treatments and med
icines, but kept getting worse all the
time.
"Tanlac has changed all that, and I
am now feeling like a new man. The-
very first bottle gave me an appetite
and I began to eat better than I had
done for years. I soon found that I
could eat anything I wanted without
suffering in tha least from pains or
gas afterwards. I rapidly gained in
weight and have already put on 1)
pounds and am stronger In every way.
I can work right along every day
now, and am full of energy. I always
advise my patients who come to me
for dental treatment, but are suffer
ing from a run-cown condition,' to
take Tanlac, as it '- the best medicine
I- know of."
