TIIE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, JUNE 30, 1918. "
ARMY BILL PASSES
WITHOUT ROLLCALL
Twelve Billion Dollar Measure,
Record-Breaker, Hears No
Dissenting Voice.
BIGGER ARMY WAITS NEED
Senators Declare They Are Only
Postponing Action Until War
Department Can Submit En
larged Programme.
"Washington; June 29. in passing
the $12,000,000,000 Army appropriation
bill today, the Senate emphasized sen
timent for enlarging the Army beyond
the 3,000,000 men provided in the meas
ure, but declined while awaiting: the
War Department's new expansion. pro
gramme specifically to direct the Presi
dent to raise an Army of 5,000,000.
After a week's debate and without
a roll call or dissenting voice, the huge
supply measure a world's record
breaker was sent to conference be
tween the two Houses, with a view to
Its enactment next Monday, when the
appropriations are needed.
None of the appropriations for the
Army's part in the war for the fiscal
year beginning July 1 was reduced by
the Senate. Instead, it increased many
items, approved without change the
House clause clothing the President
with unlimited authority to increase
the Army by further draft calls and
added scores of important legislation
riders; but no change was made in the
present draft limits.
War Programme Awaited.
A futile effort was made today by
Senators desirous of specifically order
ing an Army increase. An amendment
by Senator McCumber, of North Da
kota, proposing to "direct" the Presi
dent to enlarge the Army to 6.000,000
enlisted men, as speedily as equipment
and clothing could be obtained, was
rejected 46 to 19, and an amendment
by Senator Fall, of New Mexico, pro
posing an increase of 3.000,000 rnen
went out viva voce.
Many Senators, however, fearing this
action, and the rejection yesterday of
the Fall amendment to extend the draft
age limit to 20 and 40 years would be
misinterpreted, declared in voting they
were only temporarily postponing ac
tion in accord with the War Depart
ment's request for two or three months'
time to submit the enlarged programme.
Important Provlsloas Added.
Among important legislative provis
ions added by the Senate to the bill,
many of which the House leaders al
ready have agreed to accept, are the
following:
Authorizing the President to organ
ize volunteer Slavic and Russian
legions; proposing the rank of Lieutenant-General
for Provost Marshal-General
Crowder in recognition of his se
lective draft administration; providing
for training and equipping of foreign
troops, designed especially for the so
called "Pan-American Army"; amend
ing the draft law to have quotas based
on the number of men in class 1 instead
of on state population; giving effect
to the British-American reciprocal draft
treaty and other similar conventions
which may be concluded, and -perma-.
nently debarring from American citi
zenship citizens of neutral nations who
liave filed preliminary citizenship ap
plications and who claim exemption
from the draft on that account; author
izing formation of an $100,000,000 cor
poration under the aircraft board; pro
viding distinctive badges or buttons for
men discharged from and rejected for
military service; authorizing the Presi
dent to commandeer timber and lumber
and conduct timbering operations, pro
posed for the aircraft and shipbuilding
programmes; providing medals of honor
and distinguished service crosses and
other decorations; authorizing officers
to buy their uniforms and equipment
rom the Government at cost, and, pro
viding more general officers and pro
motions for the Medical Corps.
Mounted Volunteers Authorized.
The amendment disbarring neutrals
wag offered by Senator Lodge, and that
giving officers uniforms at cost by
Jones, of Washington.
An amendment by Senator Fall, of
New Mexiio, authorized the organiza
tion of three regiments of mounted
volunteers, not of draft age, to be used
as directed by the President. Senator
Chamberlain said he did not believe
the House would accept the amend
ment, but was willing that conferees
consider it, and it was adopted.
An amendment by Senator France, of
Maryland, authorizing the President to
make a' census of survey to classify
the National man power was adopted
without objection, but with an intima
tion from Chairman Chamberlain that
it might be stricken out in conference.
PROFITEERING IS BARED
(Continued From First Page.)
1912 to more than 24 per cent in 1917.
One of the smaller mills showed a prof
it of more than 300 per cent.
Capital Raised Fourfold.
In the meat industry, the report says,
Morris & Co. realized more than 263
per cent on $3,000,000 of capital stock
outstanding, and during 1916 Armour &
Co. raised their capital stock from
$20,000,000 to 1100,000,000, "without re
ceiving a dollar more in cash."
Independent packers, meanwhile. In
1914, 1915 and 1916, earned a higher
rate of profit than the large concerns.
In the leather industry, the profits of
one concern jumped from $644,000 in
1914 to $3,676,000 in 1917. The shoe
business, meanwhile showed large
profits and the report says "it appears
the retailer has profited more in pro
portion than the wholesaler."
Assets Reappraised.
To show the manner in which it is
Charged big concerns reappraised their
assets when Government price fixing
appeared imminent the commission in
eluded in its report a copy of a letter in
which It was proposed by Swift & Co.
to re-appraise six tanning companies,
which it owns, 60 per cent.
"I approve, if done quietly and
promptly," was the memorandum Ed
ward F. Swift placed upon the recom
mendation. In the flour Industry, the report says.
the millers for 1917 will show a profit
of 62 cents a barrel, or nearly 38 per
cent on tne investment. One Mill
shows a profit of $2 a barrel. Despite
the fact that the Food Administration
succeeded in reducing profits they still
were twice as high in 1917 as in previ
ous years.
Profits Without Precedent.
Price fixing by the government, the
report says, has tended to prevent the
market from running away, but at the
came time it strengthens the stronger
lactors in industry in their position and
enriches them by profits, which "are
without precedent.
' While the price of flour has been sta
bilized by fixing a price for wheat and
a maximum margin of profit for flour,
the report shows that profits increased
from an average of 12 per cent on the
investment for the four years ending
June 30. 1916, to nearly 38 per cent In
the year ending June 30, 1917.
"These profits," it Is stated, "are in
defensible considering that an average
profit of one mill for six months of the
year shows as high as $2 a barrel."
Many millers exceeded the govern
ment maximum for profit and to that
extent, "the profits were larger and in
general were very great."
No Proftteertns la Coast Lumber.
The report says no excessive profits
are indicated in the lumber industry on
the West Coast, although it is said
spruce producers previously had "pro
fiteered" at the expenBe of the allied
governments.
"Unusually and unnecessarily large
profits," however, are indicated, the re
port says, "on the part of the Southern
pine producers where profits on net In
vestment averaged 17 per cent.
In 1917, 47 per cent of the footage of
the companies covered was produced at
a profit of over 20 per cent. The range
of profits was from a small loss to over
121 per cent on the net Investment.
The margin of profit per thousand
board feet in 1917 was nearly double
that in previous years, the figures be
ing $4.83 as compared with $2.11 in
1916. A fair margin per thousand feet
in the past has been recognized as be
ing 3.
These figures for 1917 are the more
notable for the reason that the profits
shown do not include any payments
of Federal income and excess profits
taxes, but are the sums actually avail
able for additions to surplus or divid
ends. Information secured from the
companies concerning their dividends
and income taxes supports the pre
ceding statements.
Coast Canners Included.
Some coast canners have been ex
acting prices which the commission re
gards as exorbitant. The report says:
"Approximately 90 per cent of the
salmon packed in 1917 was produced at
a cost under $7.26 per case. To this
should be added selling expense. This
item, as reported by 24 companies
packing practically 5 per cent of the
year's production, was 28 cents per
case. ' However, the 28 cents does not
include brokerage and cash discounts
in all cases, and it is estimated, that
60 cents per case would be a fairer al
lowance. Investigation in the coal mining In
dustry reveals, in the opinion of the
commission, that despite Government
price fixing, large margins of profit
have been made. Ranges in the cost of
production in a field having the same
maximum prices has caused some oper
ators to make email margins of profit
and others large margins, the bulk of
the production enjoying the large mar
gin. False Reports Spread.
In the oil industry large profits are
now being made in fuel oil and gasoline,
the industry being one where the law
of supply and demand still operates.
The operation of this law is held to be
in part responsible for the heavy profits,
but a portion of the blame is laid to
the spreading of false reports regarding
supplies.
Trade practices contributing in ad
dition to profits to higher prices to con
sumers are noted as failure to ship
goods on a rising market or refusal to
accept goods on a falling market, com
mercial bribery and the tendency of
manufacturers to maintain a re-sale
price.
The report was submitted in response
to a resolution asking the commission
to furnish the Senate with all figures
and information relative to profiteering
in order that steps might be taken to
remedy present conditions.
PACKERS MAKE SHARP RETORT
Assertion Made Present No Time to
Strike at Meat Industry.
CHICAGO, June 29. Sharp retorts
were made tonight by representatives
of Armour & Company, Morris & Com
pany and Swift & Company, denying
eharges of profiteering made- in the
report of Federal Trade Commission in
vestigators at Washington.
The packers' statements declared the
present is not the tlmo for any one
branch of Governmental activity to
strike at the packing industry as It is
trying to supply the American Army
with meat. The statements, too, called
attention to the fact that their profits
were but a fractional part of a cent
per pound of product and directed at
tention to the prices of meats to con
sumers and the prices paid for live
stock to idicate whether or not the
packers have been profiteering.
Swift & Company, in a statement
Issued today, emphatically denies the
profiteering charges made by the re
port of the Federal trade commission
investigators, and on the other hand
charges a tricle was perpetrated by the
issuance of the report at the time it
was made public.
"Swift & Company deeply resents the
spirit and the manner in which this re
port has been issued, said the statement
It was issued for release at noon Sat
urday, a time when officials In many
businesses have closed their desks for
the week and are usually not on hand
to answer sensational and unfounded
charges. It tended to throw suspicion
about an essential Industry which it
is publicly recognized has fulfilled
tremendous war demands from the be
ginning perhaps better than any other
industry in the country."
Morris & Company issued the follow
ing statement:
"The statement of the Federal trade
commission as to the profits of Morris
& Company as to the figures given is
misleading and they are absolutely in
correct. The profit of 263.7 per cent
for the three year war period is
evidently figured on a nominal capital
of $3,000,000 and not on the capital
invested, while the pre-war profit of
8.6 per cent was figured on the total
investment. During 1917 our invest
ment was in excess of $38,000,000 and our
profit was 14 4 per cent on this in
vestment and not 263.7 per cent as
stated. The average profit on invest
ment for the past three years was
10.95 per cent."

FUNDS AVAILABLE
FOR OREGON ROADS
Total of $472,124 Placed to
Credit of State at Na

SEVEN PROJECTS APPROVED
Faling Estate In Limit Club.

and C. Lewis Mead, executors, the es
tate of the late Xarifa Jane Faling
yesterday became a member of the

Highway Undertakings Are Held
Vitally Important Toward Win
ning War and for Movement
of Commodities.
WASHINGTON, June 29. There will
accrue to the state of Oregon on Mon
day $236,062.11 from the U. S. good
roads fund, making a total of $472,
124.22 to the credit of the state from
that fund. Kone of it has yet been
used, but projects have been approved
calling for an estimated total of $436,
983.80. These projects will not be af
fected by the recent announcement of
the U. S. Highways Council discourag
ing new highway undertakings, as the
projects approved are deemed to be
"vitally important toward the winning
of the war or for the movement of es
sential commodities."
The Federal aid road act provided a
fund of $73,687.37 for the state of Ore
gon in 1916, double that amount for
1917 and treble the amount for 1918,
which latter sum becomes available
July- 1. ' Seven projects have been ap
proved in Oregon, four of them within
the past month. In five of these Fed
eral participation is to be 50 per cent,
while in the other two Federal partici
pation is for a stated amount some
what less than 60 per cent. The pro-J
jects cover a total of 111 miles, the most
important of which is the John Day
Highway, 48.45 miles, in Grant and
Wheeler counties.
Work: May Begin Shortly.
With these projects approved, there
remains nothing to be done except the
completion of detailed plans and speci
fications, before actual construction
can begin. Thes.e plans and specifica
tions will be prepared by the state or
local authorities and, presumably, will
be promptly approved here. Actual
construction will be conducted by the
state or local authorities.
Recently there was organized In
Washington the U. S. Highways Coun
cil, with Logan Waller Page, director
of the Office of Public Roads, as chair
man, and J. E. Pennybacker, chief of
management of that office, as secre
tary. In the council there are repre
sentatives of the Department of Agri
culture, War Department, Railroad
Administration, War Industries Board
and the Fuel Administration, as each
of the departments or commissions is
interested in one way or another in
the construction of roads, transporta
tion of material, conservation of fuel
oil, etc. The council has provided each
state highway department with blank
forms on which to make application
for relief in case of urgent need of
highway construction.
Council's Purposes Stated.
In its initial announcement regard
ing its policy the council said: -
"The council emphasizes the great
need of conserving money, transporta
tion, labor and materials by restricting
highway and street work to the most
essential needs. It considers the main
tenance of existing streets and high
ways logically should rank first In im
portance and that the construction of
those sections of improved highways
and streets which have become too de
fective for maintenance should next
receive attention. New construction is
justified only where the highways are
vitally important toward the winning
of the war or for the movement of es
sential commodities."
It has been stated at the offices of
the council that the Oregon projects
come under the latter classification
and are held to be fully justified.
Project Details Given.

cost of each are shown herewith:

NEW OBJECTOR IS FOUND
Harvey Greer, Aged 19, Persists In
Fighting for Democracy.
STOCKTON, CaL. June 29. (Special.)
Harvey Greer, 19 years of age and a
native of Tennessee. Is the kind of a
conscientious objector that the country
is proud of.
"I want to enlist," he told Sergeant
R. R. Mergenthal, of the local U. S.
Marine Corps recruiting station.
"You're mighty young," replied Mer
genthal, "why do you want to enlist?"
"Because my conscience hurts me," re
plied young Greer. "I'm afraid the war
might be over before I -im 21. Then
the boys would come home and ask me
why I hadn't been in it and I object
conscientiously to having no excuse to
offer."
Greer's name was soon affixed to the
dotted line.
Barge Lines Are Favored.
WASHINGTON. June 29. Favorable
report on the plan to construct barge
lines on the Mississippi River to relieve
railroad congestion has been made to
Director-General McAdoo by Charles A.
Prouty. director of the Division of Pub
lic Service of the Administration.

CHILEAN RETURNS HOME
PORTLAND CONSCl. HUNTS VAINLY
BVi YEARS FOR COUNTRYMEN.
Ramon Escobar Finally Gives Up Job
and Decides to Go Back: to His
Own Native Land.
SEATTLE. Wash., June 29. (Special.)
Sent from Chile as Consul to look
after the Interests of Chilean residents
of Portland. Ramon Escobar, now in
Seattle, is on his way home. After
five and one-half years he has discov
ered that there are no Chilean resi
dents in Portland, now that he has left
the city. His duties were to lend ad
vice to Chileans. He advised himself.
He was to aid Chileans in distress.
Ramon Escobar needed no aid. It Is
customary to entertain visiting Chile
ans. Escobar did his duty two or three
times a week by taking himself to a
picture show.
"I got lonesome at times," he said.
"But. even if there were no Chileans In
Portland. Iformed acquaintances with
Portland, I formed acquaintances with
friends among them. The Chilean popu
lation, while I was there, consisted of
myself. Now that I am returning to
Chile, Portland is . depopulated of
Chileans."
Escobar says that his government is
among the most progressive in the
world. New ideas from all parts of the
world are being collected by Consuls
and sent back to South America, where
they ars considered. "Every small in
vention is recorded." said the Consul.
"America, as the most enterprising of
all nations, has given us many new
