SAYS LEWIS
Portland MeafTelis of Effects
of Rate Decision.
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. P.
well's exhibit, which was the one
thing that really ciincneo, ins ru
for us. The growth of any community

V. - io per cent aiseotmt for trading
T through this city Is bound to bring
: ' 1 business," eaid Mr. Lothrop as he
- " i placed the grapMo lesson of the rate
' i award before his auditors. "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. Berg presided! at the luncheon
yesterday and the members cheered
John Dougull, their vice-chairman,
who has been 111 for some time and
was present yesterday. Frank An
drews, who has been chairman of the

Legislation Satisfactory to Fonr
States Is Aim of Conference;
Measure Being Drafted.
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.
