Secretary '"Would Conduct Market Exchange and Promote Arbitra tion of Members Disputes. Fred iluller, secretary --elect of the Board of Trade, in discussing some of his plans In connection with his new office, had the following to say: "First of all. In order to be able to do ef fective work. It will be necessary that each and every member of the organisation assist the aecretary in his efforts by loyal co-operation and a determination that all will pull together. It is true that different business interests view aubjects coming up for discus sion from various points, yet there is. always a possibility to harmonize matters, when everyone feels that the oard of .Trade's ef forts are entirely unselfish .and simply with an eye upon the expansion 'and upbuilding of the great City of Portlands and the economical handling of its steadily increasing .business. A. Board- of Trade Is a trade center, an emporium for the crystallization and assim ilation of commercial information. All mat ters concerning the interior trade relations, the local business, the export, import and shipping business, the formation work along intelligent lines and the proper adjustment of existing evla and -incumbrances In our-relations with the producer, manufacturer or railroads should at their proper time receive the attention of the Board. The Board of Trade should act as the clearing-house of all commercial matters; they should be ad Justed along strlot business lines and not simply passed upon through, many times, meaningless resolutions. . With all due appreciation of the necessity for some "out of state" advertising of our resources, I believe publicity, whfi-h will ac quaint the members and -others with, the pre vailing market conditions, the movement of wmmI . akiaoMiBtf Ut sul . fro. should be enlarged upon as much as possible. Fixed dally price quotations of the various commodi ties should, be posted by the Board and be come "officiaT in the settlement of all dis putes arising among members. In this way the usefulness of the Exchange will be grad ually stimulated. Difficulties among members .should be set tled through arbitration before a proper com- t I " i v h vji r V ' i - ' N 1 1 1 f N : J I . Frank V". Uealy Is Married. A telegram to The Oregonian a from Frank W. Healy, the popu- . I lar manager of the San Fran- f cisco Opera Company, is as fol- T lows: "Married Tuesday. Bride I is daughter of Judge Isaacs, of . Redding, Cal." Mr. Healy hag many friends in Portland who t will send him congratulations f on his, marriage. I mittee of the osganization. Nothing Is more conducive of ' a better understanding among business men than a settlement of many times Insignificant grievances in this way. In fact a compulsory rule to- arbitrate will often pre vent 'a misunderstanding from., becoming ag gravated. . .. In the various branches of business many matters require adjustment which the indi vidual in . the particular line may not be will lng .to take up, a concerted effort, on the part of the proper committee along carefully drawn up lines and a full and concise knowl edge of all the facts In each -case, . will wield an irresistible power and I know from past experience where, for Instance, the whole sale grocers have succeeded In getting conces sions from manufacturers, packinghouses, railroads, etc., which the Individual merchant never would have been, able to secure. All matters of National import as tar as they reflect the general prosperity and de velopment of our country should receive the attention .of -the Board, but here again care should be taken not to indprse any proposi tion until it's merits have been fully estab lished. The promiscuous indorsement of reso lutions or pet schemes will minimize the Board's usefulness. The best of feeling should be maintained with sister organizations and while friendly rivalry stimulates each body to renewed, ef forts, only the best of understanding can ac complleh the most good for the largest num ber. Portland has roost exceptional possi bilities, yet It Is in need of many commer cial and Industrial additions, to make it the most substantial and in fact the leader - of the great ports of the West. While I dislike to speak about myself, believing that the best recommendation for a man is to have his efforts "tell the tale," 1 like to Instance ju&t a few facts. During 14 years of activity In New Orleans I have not only handled the Board of Trade work along lines of promotion, but a lung strict business lines, requiring close study and familiarity with commercial conditions. The New Orleans Board of Trade maintained a .grain inspection as well as a cotton and eo(r ton inspection department, looked after v"A maritime and exports affairs, made the ra. justment of freight discrimination a upc'cA feature, received dally continuous Chicr-.-5, SU Louis, New York and European mah:t quo tatiori. 'traded in rice and 'had a coffee fu tures department, and, in fact, incorporates all tha -functions of an influential and e (fes tive organisation. My duties have taken me to every leading trade center of our great country and with the assistance of a loyal membership and the addition" of new mem bers, I will do my very best to be of service to tha organization and a useful citizen of this great city, which I hop to mitm my permanent home. HOLD UP PHILIPPINE LAW WESTERN SENATORS OBJECT TO - REDUCED TARIFF. Secretary Taft Anxious for Free Sugar, .Rice and Tobacco, but Beet-Sugar Senators Opposed. OREGOXIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Jan. 11. It begins to look as though the beet-sugar men in the Sen ate would again defeat the bill pro posing a further reduction of duty on Philippine products, particularly sugar 'and tobacco. At the last Congress a Philippine tariff bill was passed by the House along lines quite satisfac tory to Secretary Taft; . it was pit through under whip and spur, and the insurgents were routed by the Speak er. That bill was killed in the Sen ate committee on Philippines, largely" through the efforts of Senator Dubois, of Idaho. When Mr. Dubois retired, his place on the committee was filled by Senator Teller, of Colorado, who- is even a more, rabid opponent of a re duction of Philippine 'duties, and if Dubois could defeat the bill last ses sion, certainly Teller can accomplish a.8 much this' Winter.' especially as Teller wilt have the assistance of Sen ator Newlands, of Nevada, who is equally opposed to reducing the duty on Philippine sugar. Secretary Taft is very anxious to have the duly on Philippine sugar, tobacco and rice reduced. If he could have bis way he would give these com modities free -access to Amerlc'an markets, but he realizes that this is out of the question, and for the time" being he Is trying to secure a reduc tion of 50 per cent of the Dingley rates on foreign goods of the same char acter. That is the reduction provided for In the bill which .oassed the House last, session. The opponents of this bill, who come almost entirely from states which are large growers of sugar beets, sugar cane, tobacco and rice, argue that' Philippine sugar, to bacco and rice, produced by cheap coolie labor, would enter the American market and force down the price of American sugar, tobacco and rice. To this argument Secretary Taft replies that only a limited quantity of these products would come into this country from the Philippines, not enougli to affect the market price. . Furthermore, he argues,, that the cost' of transpor tation across the Pacific would tend. In a. large, measure, to offset the dif ference in coat of production. The Secretary's answer is not satis factory to the. opponents of tlie Philip pine tariff bill, who maintain that once the dnty Is lowered, large quan tftiea of sugar and tobacco would flow into American markets and work dis aster to American producers. To meet this objection, In the hope of securing some relief, there is now talk of a compromise measure which the Secre- good faith on his part. He -will agree to a bill reducing the duty on these commodities to 50 per cent of the Dingley rates, and also restricting the amount of each that can be imported under this rate in any one year, pro vided that amount is fixed at the fig ure whifch he declares will seek the American market. : Such a restriction may overcome a part of the opposition to the Philip pine bill, -but it is hardly likely that it will remove the opposition of such men as Teller and Newlands. who are op posed to all reductions. The chances are that these two -Western Demo crats can so align the committee on Philippines as to make imposslblw the reporting' of the tiirjff bill, and If this can be accomplished, legislation will be out of the question.
