HUGE TERRITORY GAINED 'i V J. H. lxthrop, City Attorney and Others Speak at Chamber or , Commerce Forum. Meeting. "We got taCk. onlr what belonged to us," I Allen lw1s told the- mem bers torum at the Chamber of Com merce reaterduy noon at the Jublla tio meeting over the recent rate de cision. There Is nothing like ac tual possession," he said. "Poten tialities are all right, but Portland Trill never let her rights pet away from her in this respect again. The decision, dry as it may seem to many, is equal to a cash iscount for all merchants who can do their trading through the Portland gateway, and ire rnunt not be lulled to rest and elecp on our rights as we did in the jast." . , Mr. Lewis formerly was chairman of the transportation committee of the Chamber of Commerce, the body that did most to put the rate decision through before the formation of the present Portland Traffic and Trans portation association. In addition to Mr, Lewis. J. 1L Lothrop, of the traffic association, and TV. B. iAKoche, .ttnmfiv. vho assisted In the varatinn f ca.se. stoke and all united In rendering tribute to Joseph Teal for his untiring efforts that now iave been crownedi witn success. Aenell Exhibit Unanswerable. Tf nHn a. new ace in the his- hr? nf the city." said Mr. LaRoche n t.tiinc of the fichtfor.rate recogni tion. "It has given merchants here renewed courage and has undone an Injustice that was done to Portland many years ago. It has established the principle that costs' bear some relation to railway rates, and Seattle experts could not answer J.

"Port- t land now has 160,000 equare miles of '. ' the richest-and most productive ter- f rltory and the effects of the new V rates will not be fully realised for .' . J several years. We must advertise our .'' I advantage so that eastern firms may harit for distribution. In etead of 6cattle having a parity with Portland over the Immense inland ter ritory it now has a rate advantage w some 35.000 Hanaro miles and In the rest of the northwest Port land either has an advantage or is on an equal footing. Big Territory Gained. This is simple and ehows what Portland has gained, an immense ter ritory crammed with wealth. Kifteen million bushels of grain in the Port land territory 6hould come here in the future as It gives the grower a cent and a half a bushel better rate than the sound. What we are now fighting for is to have the Milwaukie line make an arrangement with one of the railways coming into here so that some of their freight will seek this harbor." C. F.

To obtain, if possible, uniform laws covering automobile traffic, the sec retaries of state for four northwest ern states are In conference at the Imperial hotel. The meeting, which was suggested by Sam Zozer. secre tary of etate for Oregon, is attended by J. Grant Hinkle, secretary of state for Washington: Charles T. Stewart. secretary of state for Montana, and Robert O. Jones, secretary of state for Idaho, and various traffic officers. The meeting will conclude today. The one thing decided on yesterday was that there will an exchange of information between the motor vehicle departments of the four states. The licensed machines and their own ers, printed lists of which are issued by each secretary of state, will be sent to the secretaries in the other states. Traffic Laws Differ. What is giving the conference most concern is some uniform traffic law. The traffic laws In Oregon, Wash ington. Idaho and Montana are not alike. They differ in many respects and, again, they differ in the cities in some of the states. A driver going to Oregon from Montana and passing through Idaho and Washington en counters four different kinds of traf fic rules. How to harmonize these traffic laws is one of the Important tasks to be solved. If a traffic law Is worked out which Is satisfactory to all four states the legislatures of the respective states next month will be asked to enact the measure. Some discussion has been held as to license fees, but there is not likely to be any uniform scale recommended. Oregon, for example, has scheduled its license fees so as to meet the In terest and principal on the road bond issues. Other states have no such ar rangement, and in Montana the pro posed road bond issue was defeated. Bearing- Down Fees to Halt. One matter which the conference wants to check is the habit of people living along the border of a state taking out automobile licenses in the adjoining state when the latter has a lower license rate than in their own. Others, In addition to the four sec retaries of state, in attendance were: L. D. Conrad, superintendent of the motor vehicle department of Wash ington; T. A. Rafferty,. chief inspector of the Oregon motor vehicle depart ment; Jay Saltzman, inspector of the eastern division of Oregon; Captain H. E. Lewis of the traffic department of the Portland police; Chief of Po lice Jenkins of Portland, Lieutenant Carr, chief of the Seattle police traf fic department; H. P. Coffin, public safety commission, Portland. Women's Activities Hawthorne Parent-Teacher associa tion will meet this afternoon at 2:45 o'clock Ire the school assembly.
