Civic League Hears Argument for and Against Law. CONTINUED EFFORT ASKED MRS. THOMPSON SPEAKER 14 FOR LAND RESERVED CAPITAL PUNISHMENT IS LUNCHEON TOPIC RATE DECISION r i Business Men Hold That Economic Argument for Columbia. Water Grade Xot Wholly Met. Qualified gratification is expressed by many Portland business men over the report of the examiner In the Portland rate case, recently an nounced, which partially removed the discrimination against which the shippers of the city have long com plained and which must now be passed upon for its final status by the interstate commerce commission. While pleased at the victory that Portland has won and predicting' that the new rates will mean an increase In commerce and tend to aid ma terially In the upbuilding of the port, several who are thoroughly conver sant with the situation said yesterday that the award is less than the city is logically entitled to, and does not meet in its entirety the economic argument for the Columbia water grade versus the mountain haul to Puget Sound. In general, business men decline to discuss the rate award at length, for the present, at least, choosing to wait until the full text of the report is received or until the Interstate commerce commission has taken final action. Among these was J. P. Newell, engineer, who prepared much of the data used in Portland's argu ment for the water-grade. Comparison Is Necessary. "It is difficult to judge of the effects that will follow the adoption by the interstate commerce commis sion of the tentative report of Ex aminer Thurtell," said Mr. Newell, "until a careful comparison is made of the .'Vggested differentials with the exlsti5 rates. "The report recognizes the principle that differences in cost of service should be reflected, at least In some degree, in the rates, and this is nat urally very gratifying to those who have contended for this view. "The effect is bound to be a much enlarged traffic along the water grade routes, with a resultant reduc tion in the total cost of transporta tion, to the benefit of the whole coun try. The particular benefits arising will inure at times to the shipper and at other times to the buyer, depend ing on commercial conditions, but both are bound to profit by it in some degree. "It is easy, however, to exaggerate the effects of the proposed changes, assuming that our hopes are realized by the action of the commission. Other economies in transportaton are possible, and if these are taken advantage of by our rivals, while we neglect them, the advantages from the rate decision may be neutralized. We must still work as hard to build up our commerce as though this case had been decided against us." Partial Victory Seen. H. B. "Van Duzer, president of the Portland Chamber of Commerce, ex pressed approval of the report, so far as it goes, but inclined to the belief that the victory, at best. Is no more than a partial one and could scarcely have been less, were the award to favor Portland at all. "This decision," said Mr. Van Duzer, "has increased considerably lortland's non-competitive trade and territory, but it is only a partial rec ognition of Portland's geographical location. The bulk of the tonnage from the inland empire is still, under this indicated decision, carried at the same rate, no matter whether the haul be over the Cascade mountains or down the Columbia river grade. "It must be understood though that this decision is not the final decision of the interstate commerce commis sion, and while they usually affirm the decision of the examiner, yet it is not always well to count your chick ens before they are hatched." Inasmuch as shipping comes where there is trade to be had, and assum ing that the report, if affirmed by the commission, will bring an In creased commerce to this port, Ed ward N. Weinbaum. foreign trade sec retary of the Portland chamber, be lieves that Portland is on the thres hold of rapid progress as a port. Action Means Cargoes. The adoption of this report -will mean a cheap haul via the water crade," eaid Mr. Weinbaum. "This means cargoes, and where there are cargoes to be had the boats come." That the report of the examiner In the Portland rate case Is long de layed recognition of the natural ad-, vantages of Portalnd and presages much for the city and its territory is the opinion of Isaac Hunt, vice-president of the Ladd & Tilton bank, and member of the shipping committee of the Portland chamber. "I think It Is the beginning of Portland's coming Into her heritage of natural advantages," said Mr. Hunt. "It is the recognition of economic conditions In rate making, which will bring Portland further gains In the future. Now it is obligatory on the city to prepare facilities and tonnage for the increased commerce that will naturally develop." Nothing more than mere recogni tion of distance, without attention nairi to the wat p r-pra il Annmv la to be found! in the report,' according to the opinion or W. 13. B. Dodson. executive secretary of the Portland chamber. "While not minimizing the benefits that will accrue, Mr. Dodson points out that Portland could scarcely have been awarded less on the showing made. Distance Alone Considered. "The report of the examiner gives to Portland," said Mr. Dodson, "and the producers of this region the very least that could have been granted in the case. The changes are based on a distance argument alone, and not in any respect upon the economy of the down-river haul. "In other words the territory south of the Snake river is placed on a dis tance basis entirely, without consid ering at all the saving to be effected by the water-grade haul. The ex aminer has not granted in any respect any concession based upon the economy of the river route as against the. mountain haul. It does not seem that the fundamental principles In volved have been recognized at all. "At all times, for that matter, we have been Just as much entitled to the territory south of the Snake river, n a distance basis, as Puget Sound has been to the Taklma valley on a distance basis. The situations are almost parallel, and Yakima valley has long been recognized as Puget Bound territory." Advantages are rife in the report, believes John H. Lothrop, secretary of the Portland Traffic and Trans portation association, but extensive comment should be withheld until J - c " y' - INAUGURATION of the new officera of the Portland Ad club took place at the club's annual "jinks" held in the Oregon building last Thursday night. The club starts out in the new year with Edward N. Strong, assistant manager Of the Oregon Life Insurance company, at the helm. "W. S. Kirkpatrick, of the field of finan cial advertising, is first vice-president; George L. Kauch, attorney, sec ond vice-president, and "William J. Piepenbrink, manager of "Whitfield, "Whitcomb & Co., secretary-treasurer. The following directors were elected to office: H. B. Ainsworth, vice-president United States National bank; W. IL Chatten, president Hicks-Chatten Engraving company; Walter E. Conk lin, manager Jaggar-Stroufe Co.; Milton Reed Klepper, attorney; Frank Nau, Frank Nau Drug com pany; Miles Sandish, Lane-Miles the text of the report is received for analysis. "It is scarcely possible to discuss the report and express an opinion until the full statement is received and opportunity is given to analyze it," said Mr. Lothrop. "And until the full text of the report is received it is impossible to state the amount of benefit that will accrue to Portland from the decision. "It is unquestionably true, how ever, that Portland gained a very substantial victory and that the dif ferentials allowed by the report will be of extreme benefit to Portland, varying somewhat upon different commodities and different classes of merchandise. "The greatest advantage to Port land, as I see it, is the recognition by the interstate commerce commission of the principle for which we have been contending for a number of years. The natural advantages of Portland on the Columbia river will be reflected in the freight rates. "Furthermore, the differentials will have an impotant bearing upon the point of location of future industries." Body Found; Hunt Ends. SEATTLE, "Wash, Jan. 10.

EX-SERVICE MEN FIRST Tacoma Collector Will Employ Them as Prohibition Agents. TACOMA. Wash.. Jan. 10. (Special.) Appointments of new internal rev enue agents for the enforcement of the new national prohibition law In this district will be limited to ex service men, it was announced. Friday by David J. Williams, collector of internal revenue. Plans for the enforcement organ ization were outlined at a meeting Thursday with Donald A. McDonald of Seattle, district enforcement offi cer, and W. A.

Capital punishment was the subject for discussion before the members of the Civic league at the regular lunch eon and meeting yesterday noon at the Benson hotel, the programme for the day including a debate as to whether a forthcoming .session of the legislature should or should not amend the Oregon laws to return the death penalty to this state. The sub ject proved of such interest as to at tract an unusually large number to the session. Captain Arthur Murphy, a local at torney recently with the 91st division in France, spoke in favor of the res toration of capital punishment, while David F. Morrison, president of the Prisoners' Aid society, spoke against the death penalty and in favor of the retention of the present law in Ore gon. Captain Murphy cited a number of recent cases of cold-blooded mur ders, which, he declared, might have been prevented if the possibilities of the gallows had been before the minds of the men before they committed their respective crimes. The case of Johnson, the murderer of Mrs. Free man, welfare worker among prison ers, was cited as the most flagrant example of this. Johnson, he re called, had declared at the time of his trial that the worst the law could give him would be life imprisonment, and that he hoped to get out through a pardon In a few years. The speak er upheld the right of society to take human life in such cases, as a means of protection to society itself. In sup port of his contention that men sen tenced to life Imprisonment were fr. quently released before they had served out their terms and that there fore the possibility of life imprison ment did not loom up as a sufficient punishment to dieter men from mur der, the speaker quoted records from "Lend a Hand." the magazine pub lished by the inmates of the Oregon state penitentiary, showing that of 285 men sentenced to life imprison ment since the establishment of the prison in 1854, 158 men or 55.4 per cent of the total, had been pardoned and released. Mr. Morrison, in his argument, held that capital punishment did not act as a deterrent to crime. He quoted figures from the records of various states to support this position and de clared. that restitution of the death penalty in Oregon would be a step backwards in the march of clviliza tion. Mrs. Alexander Thompson, member of the state legislature, declared that the men of the legislature were "fall ing over themselves" in the fight for the honor of introducing a capital punishment measure in the forthcom ing session, not particularly -because they believed such a measure should be passed, but because they knew it would be "political thunder" for the benefit of their constituents. SUPPLY IN SIGHT REGIOXAIi DIRECTOR REPORTS OFFICIAXS ARE BUSY. Estimates Place Requirements of Northwest at 15,000 Empties to .Retrieve Congestion. SEATTLE, Wash., Jan. 10. (Special.) Assurances that everything possible will be done to increase the empty car supply for northwestern indus tries was given Friday by District Di rector L. C. Gilman of the railroad administration, in a telegram from Chicago to his office in Seattle. J. C. Roth, who is in charge of the details of the car supply under Dis trict Director Gilman, estimates that approximately 15,000 cars would be needed to move the freight that could be offered at once by northwestern shippers. Mr. Gilman went to Chicago to try to end the shortage. His telegram said: "Regional director is doing every thing possible to increase car sup ply for Pacific northwest and it now looks like a considerable increase In the empty movement west. The coal situation has cleared up so that we may expect a good supply from the head of the lakes, and also a larger movement of empties from the east through Chicago. Seventy-five cars per day have been ordered through Huntington in excess of equalization, and twenty-five cars through Ash land n excess of equalization, and steps are being taken to increase the movement through Billings. The Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul has 1500 empties held up on account of congestion. These are now on their way west. If weather continues at all favorable as it Is now. In the course of two weeks we will have a fair car supply." FROST DAMAGE RECORDED Samples From Wasco County Are Asked by Agricultural College. . THE DALLES, Or., Jan. 10. (Spe cial.)
