Vote lOO x .YESmueftond8 Secretary Takes Issue With Manufacturers Who Predict Loss of Business. 'NEW FREEDOM" IS URGED Highly Paid Workman, Well Equipped, Well Treated and Well Ied, Declared to Be Cheapest Producer In World. PITTSFIELJD, Mass.. May 31. Secre tary Redfleld. of tha Department of Commerce, speaking at a. banquet here tonight gflven by the Democratic city committee, denied the contention that American manufacturers could not com pete successfully abroad and declared that, on the other hand, they were do ing so more and more successfully. He pointed to a continuous growth In the business of American manufacturers .broad, beginning with a total of J443, 000,000 In 1S92. to an estimated total of $1,600,000,000 In 1913. He predicted a till greater growth with the elimina tion of what he termed "unsystematlaed management." A new freedom for American Indus tries, he said, was the effective test to which the Democratic party had set Its hand. Reduced Taxation Demanded. "It stands for industrial education and for Federal aid to it," he added. "It stands for the reduction of the taxes not only upon food, but upon the means of earning it, that is to say. upon buildings, upon machinery and upon materials, which together compose the fundamentals of our Industrial life. It does not stand for a reduction of wages, because it knows that American eco nomic history has taught us perhaps Its greatest lesson that the highly paid workman, well equipped and well treat ed and well led, is the cheapest pro ducer in the world, else with our handi caps we should not be selling $1,500, 000,000 abroad now. "All through the ten years since 1902 there has existed a high tariff In this country. No one will deny that this has kept the prices of buildings, ma chinery and materials at a much high er level than they are abroad. The owner of a great woolen mill In pro testing against the reduction of the tariff now proposed has urged that each of these three Items cost him a great deal more here than In Europe. Americans More Kfflclent. "How is It that in spite of greater toxpense In these three important direc tions we have yet managed to sell roods abroad. In competition with the world at the rate of about $1,500,000,000 a. year in manufactured goods alone this - year? It Is because of the high ef ficiency of our well-paid labor when combined with the line mechanical equipment of many of our factories. Observe I do not say of "all our facto ries,' for It Is unfortunately not true of all our factories. . "We have lnduRtrle.

We have almost wholly lacked Indus ', trle.l education and we still lack It sadly. We spend a lot of money turn- '.lng- boys and girls out into the world quite untrained to do anything In par tlcular. Yet. does not the very fact of the wonders tha.t have been worked despite such obstructions point forward .to the times when wonders yet un dreamed shall come to nass. once these .obstructions are removed? "If for a condition In which most of our industrial plants come under the head of what Is called "unsystem atlc management' we substitute anoth er where merely In order to exist plants must become systematic In their meth ods: If for the Ignorance as to cost and careless as to waste which, still pre valla too much In many a factory there hall be substituted Intelligent care In both directions: if for the taxes which have made the cost of machinery and buildings and materials excessive we may substitute" a system which shall reduce these costs: tf for the ignorance of our young working people of any definite occupation we may substitute the trained hand and Instructed mind of Intelligent young men and women: If, I say, we may do all these things, why may not our commercial position of worldy might become the might! est?"

BOYS TO LEARN JAPANESE School Lads From Salt Lake Would Be Industrial Interpreters. Believing that the only way to learn the Japanese language is to go to Japan, where it Is spoken In lta original Inflection, three schoolboys from Salt Lake City are in Portland on their way to Nippon for a year of study. They want to become interpreters In the fac tories and mines of Idaho, where many Japanese are employed, and found no proper teachers in the United States. The boys are G. W. Clark, of Rox burg.

A PETTIT. RDSEBTTRG, Or.. May SI. (Special.) "What are you after, another bal loon story?" queried. Robert Lead better, as an Oregonian correspondent walked Into his home and found him comfortably seated In a high arm chair smoking a long-filled Havana and read- ng a novel dealing with some sort of ancient air craft. "Don't you know," said Mr. Lead better, "that I am a real lover of air craft and Its attendant adventures? When I heard that the Concord gas bag was to make a cutaway flight here last Saturday I hardly could wait until the manager had my money in ex change for a reservation. Naturally I went home and told my wife that I was going on a perilous Journey, and then the fun commenced. She ob jected and objected, and for a time I thought the jig was up. Gradually I managed to pacify her, however, and especially when I told her the manager of the sack had guaranteed to- bring me home alive for $25. Che thought this yarn was straight goods and finally consented that I should be one of the passengers. Well, to make a long story short, 1 got up bright and early Saturday morn ing, and it took me all the forenoon preparing for the flight. My friends told me that I would need this and that, and when I arrived at the site of the balloon I had all the appearance of a clothing Btore. TJnger, the pilot, chanced to see me as I neared the bas ket and sarcastically asked me if I was going alone. Not realizing the humor of his query, I naturally asked him what he meant. Walking over te where I was standing, he took me away from the crowd and told me to discard about half of that baggage. This I did without further deliberation. Of course, I was not alone the other passengers were In the same fix and received tha identical Instructions from the pilot. "With our baggage safely loaded Into sacks and suspended from the rigging, I climbed Into the basket, followed by Earl Stewart. Luther Page and TJnger. It was then that I first realized that soon I was to leave old Mother Earth for an unknown destination. People crowded about the basket, and upon several occasions my friends took my hand as If they never expected to see me alive again. Naturally, this sort of thing had a tendency to make me feel in high spirits. Then, there were several women who crowded close to the balloon, and one young woman with., large tears in her eyes begged one of my companions to abandon the trip, but not with material results. He was game, and he said he would stay to the finish. Time dragged for a while, when finally TJnger shouted a departing salute and the big gas bag started upward. The sight was one never to be forgotten. Hundreds, yes thousands of feet below stood crowds of people, some cheering, while others of more sedate disposition waiKea slowly away. We had hardly left the ground when I loaded my camera and commenced shooting promiscuously here and there. At a height of 5000 feet I took a pho DILEMMA NOW DUE Watson May Worry Over Blue Sky Law Provisions. CORPORATIONS MAY ACT Pact That Commissioner Cannot Is sue Temporary Permit. May Lead to More Trouble Framers Pail to Reveal Oversight. SALEM. Or.. May 31. (Special.) Lawyers, who have made a study of the blue sky bill, declared today that R. A Watson, appointed corporation commissioner by the Governor, will face a dilemma Tuesday when he as sumes the duties of the office. The law specifically provides that no corporations engaged in selling stocks and bonds shall be allowed to do business unless they have permits issued by the commissioner after he has made an exhaustive investigation of their business. At least 2000 con cerns being affected by this provision the commissioner would have to give them temporary permits by arbitrary action, there being no mention in the bill of temporary permits, or force them to surpend operations until the inves tigations, provided for in the act, are made. This would keep some of the corpora tions out of business for three months or more. It- is understood that promoters of the measure have known for several weeks of the oversight in the act in not empowering the commissioner to issue temporary permits. That they did not reveal the discovery. It is al leged, was through fear that a refer endum would be invoked. Mr. Watson has been the Governor's private secre tary and gave up that office to accept the commissionshlp. It is probable that the legality of the act will be tested by the corporations, who regard some of its structures as too severe and especially the fact that they might be put out of business for a time. The law provides that the companies shall submit to the commissioner the following information: A statement showing in full detail the plan upon which It proposes to transact business; a copy of all con tracts, bonds or other instruments which it proposes to male with or sell to its contributors .or customers: A statement which shall show the name and location of the Investment com pany, and an Itemized account of its i actual financial condition; the amount I K-.v 9 I 4 m PAGE AND EARL STEWART. tograph of Roseburg. and fortunately It turned out well. As the balloon glided majestically over the vast open country in an almost easterly direction I stood peering out of the basket in the direction of the Cascade Mountains. Although they could be seen distinctly, I never dreamed that they could be reached within a few hours. Our flight continued uninterrupted, save for the conversation between our party, from the time we departed until we alighted n the isolated and uninhabited dis trict far above Hoaglin, in the Cas cades. "Once during the early part of our trip Pilot TJnger thought It would be well to alight, and threw out the an chor. The long rope, to which was at tached the anchor, slowly descended and finally the anchor caugnt in the root of a tree. But only for an In stant, the tree .was uprooted and we were again on our way. From this spot, which I judge was about 25 miles from Roseburg. gradually we rose higher. and within a few minutes had attained n altitude of 12,100 feet. When at this height we exchanged Jokes and talked lightly of matters which, under more favorable circumstances, would have been considered serious by the more conservative element left behind. "It was Indeed an experience, and never will I forget when Pilot TJnger opened the balloon valve and we shot downward for a distance of 3000 feet in one and one-half minutes.' Of course. it was done so quickly that we hadn't time to discuss whether the balloon had collapsed or whether a joke was being played by Pilot Lnger. A few minutes following this sensational descension we had reached an open spot, where we alighted. "About the most amusing thing that occurred on the trip happened as we were about to land. A crew of moun taineers, who chanced to be camped In the neighborhood, had some horses, and these naturally noticed the approaching balloon. As the big gas bag descended the animals became frantic and started to run. One of the horses apparently became confused and instead of follow ing the trail ran through the cook tent and knocked over the table. When we arrived at the cabin the inmates were busy gathering up broken dishes and otherwise re-arranglng tne con tents of their once convenient abode. These men proved to be Walter Illlck and Walter McMillan, both of whom treated us like princes. We passed Sat urday night and Sunday with these boys and early Monday we started out over the trail. After a long tramp we reached the fish hatchery, from where we came to town in an automobile. "None of us experienced any unusual sensations on the trip, and I, for one. am anxious to joint in another ascen slon. The view was beautiful and there was nothing to excite a person of the most nervous temperament. I have ridden in airships and other air craft, but never have I enjoyed a trip like the one which I took last Saturday. "My companions were game, and at no time during the trip did we even think of danger. On the contrary, we were bound for fun, and we feel well repaid for what it cost.

DOCTOR WARNS KISSERS Scientist Examines Lips, Then Warns Against Moustaches. PARIS. May 17. (Special.) Much o the poetry and fascination of the ordl nary moustache has been scotched by the French scientist. Dr. Pierre Jacques, In his recent researches as to the habits of various bacilli. It seems that the doctor's daughter recently became affianced to a young officer who had a fine military mous tache. Following a custom which even scientists admit is prevalent as be tween engaged couples, kisses were In terchanged between the young pair when oportunities occurred. After one such opportunity the doc tor insisted upon removing the bacilli from his lovesick daughter's lips, and treated them with a reacting agent. He found over 1600 bacilli per cubl millimetre of the solution. This fac caused the doctor to doubt whether h should allow the engagement of hi daughter to continue. The fiance recently had the misfor tune to burn one side of his moustache through cigarette smoking, and wa obliged to have it completely shaved off. Dr. Jacques seized the occasion to make a further investigation, and found that, after the removal of th fiance's moustache. the number o bacilli was reduced to less than a tenth of the former number. He has now given his consent to the marriage subject to an undertaking by the fiance always to shave his upper lip. His advice to ladies is to avoid being kissed by men who grow mous taches.

Upon being seated, however, he found he was at the other end of the room from the Judge. He called the head waiter to explain.

But we have some mighty good clothes to retail at $20 and $18; the things we say about the $25 suits are not a reflection on the lower priced goods. Hart Schaf f ner & Marx put real economy in clothes at any price; we emphasize the $25 figure because so many men think that's too much; and so many think it isn't enough.
