6 TITE SUNDAY OKEG ONTAN, PORTLAND, AUGUST 29, 1920 ECTRIC RAILWAY MS ARE URGED eeping Changes Desired to Restore Credit. MEDY IS ' SUGGESTED mniiesion Appointed by Prcsi- I'ent Recommends Servlce-at- Cost Plan of Operation. M AtaSHINGTON, Aug. IS. ( Special.) .sweeping reforms in the electric Irajlway Industry, designed to restore fcublic confidence and vitally needed rcuit. were recommended luesaay in he unanimous report made by the ederal Klectric Railway commission President Wilson. The commis ibn has been Investigating the condl icn of the industry for more than a year, during which time It has heard witnesses and examined hundreds t reports and answers to QUeStiOn- llI CO. Outstanding among the recora- endations is that for the lnstalla- n of the service-at-cost plan of eration. This plan, now operative Cleveland. Cincinnati, Dallas, Mon- eal and other cities, will, it is be- ved, remove the industry from the, Id of speculative gain, furnish les at the lowest possible cost and store credit and public confidence, imarily, the plan provides for rnishing rides at actual cost, which all govern the rate of fares, and r protecting the investor by guaran eing a fixed return on an agreed luation of his holdings. IndaMtry Facfii Chaos. Chaos faces the industry unless edit is restored and co-operation tween public, managements and nployes established, the report in sts. and no words are minced in lling the three parties to the situa- un where their respective duties lie. Managements are advised that their primary duty is to serve the public ith the highest efficiency at the ipwest cost, and not to use the in dustry as a means of obtaining prof its beyond what may be necessary tpr upkeep, to pay a fair return upon tjie agreed value of the property and j,j secure the investment of funds farther required. The public duty is declared to be the supervision and control of railway properties, with jhe view of safeguarding the public interest, and the allowance of such j.yturn upon tho fair valuation of the property as may be agreed upon in tiie uunirani Deiween iae city ana inv c,ompany. Employes, it is said, should viave a living wage and humane hours r!i labor and working conditions and mpioyers, through committee or epresentatives of their own selec tion, but it is added that "all labor lisputes should be settled voluntarily r by arbitration and the award of vuch board should be final and blnd- ng on both parties." Strike Paralysis Condemned. 1t is intolerable," the report says, "that the transportation service of a ity should be subject to occasional aralysis, whether by strikes or loek- uts." Other important declarations of the -eport are: That public ownership and opera tion, generally speaking, are unde sirable unless the results under pri vate operation prove unsatisfactory, but the right of the public to own and operate all public utilities should bfc recognized and legal obstacles in the way of its exercise should be re moved; that extensions into outlying territory benetlting private property Uliould be paid for by assessments on such property in proportion to the benefits received, and that the cost of such extensions should . not be added to the valuation of the railroad property upon which a fair return Is to be allowed: and that franchises chould fix no limit as to the time they snau run nor tne fares that may be cnargeu. LOGGING MEET PLANNED Congress Opens Kleventh Annual Session in October. The Pacific logging congress twill hold ita 11th annual session in Van couver, B. C, four days. October 6 1. 8 and 9, according to information which was sent to this city from Vancouver by George M. Cornwall, publisher of the Timberman, who now is in the northern city conferring with President Hendry of the con gress . and arranging the programme with him. t The programme this year will con eist of many and varied addresses by prominent men in 'the lumbering and logging industries, as well as show ing of motion pictures of the use of trucks, tractors and trailers which are coming into general use in the big forests and sawmills of the Pacific coast. HARDING FAVORS UNION (Continued Krora Ftrst Pa.se.) both willing and able to uphold." This sort of organization, he said, was in broad contrast to the council of the league, whose whole authority would be founded on force. The senator also reiterated his be lief that it -was for American right primarily ana not to rorm a peace as soctation that the nation went into the war. It is for that same guarantee of nationality that I stand today." h continued, "and shall continue to stand as long as I live. American boys are not born to be made the sacrifices of war except when it is clearly and un mistakably in defense of their coun try." Article lO Discussed. The text of tlu speech follows in part: "Let us suppose the senate had rati Tied the peace treaty containing th league covenant as submitted to it by the president m July of last year Before this day we would have been called upon to fulfill the obligation which we had assumed Under articl 10 of the league covenant to preserve the territorial integrity of Poland as against "external aggression.' "The council of the league of na tions would have reasoned, and rea soned correctly, that the United States could furnish the munitions and, if necessary, the men to withstand the hordes advancing from Russia far more easily than could the exhausted nations jf Eurooe. What would of necessity have to result? Nothing necessarily, we are glibly informed, since only the congress can declare war, and the congress might reject the appeal of the executive. But would the congress do that? Could the congress do that without staining Indelibly the honor of the nation? Repudiation Held Impossible. "The people would never permit the repudiation of a debt of honor. No congress would ever dare make this nation appear as a welcher, as it would appear and would be in such an event before the eyes of the world "So many things have been done by the present expiring administration that no power on earth could induce me to do, that I cannot even attempt to recount them. I may remark casual ly, however, that if I should be elected president of this just and honorable republic, I will not empower an as sistant secretary of the navy to draft a consution for helpless neighbors in the West Indies and jam it down their throats at the point of bay onets, borne by United States marines. Xn ill T mint., K rrxv m r r f th ! A-xernHvA to cover with &' veil of secrecy repeated acts of unwarranted interference in domestic affairs of the little republics of the western hemisphere. "On the other hand, I will not, or shall not. as you prefer, submit to any waong to any American citizen with respect to either his life or property by any government. This statement is made in all solemnity, with enmity for none and friendship for all. If it particularly applies to Mexico, the application has been directed by the robbery and murder of hundreds of our own people in that unhappy country. Plain Notice Intended. "It is intended for a plain notice to every government on the face of the earth that the entire resources of this nation are pledged to maintain the sacredness of American lives and the just protection of American prop erties. "There are distinctly two types of international relationship. One la an offensive and defensive alliance of great powers, like that created at Versailles, to Impose their will upon the helpless peoples of the world. I am opposed to such a scheme as that. I am opposed to the very thought of our republic becoming a party to such a great outrage upon peoples who have as good a right to seek their political freedom as we had in 1776. "The other type is a society of free nations,' or a league of free nations, animated by considerations of right and justice, instead of might and self interest, and not merely proclaimed an agency in pursuit of peace, but so organized and so participated In as to make the actual attainment of peace a reasonable possibility. Association Is Favored. "Such an association I favor with all my heart. "This is proposing no. new thing. This country is already a member of such a society The Hague tribunal, which, unlike the league of Versailles, is still functioning and within a few weeks will resume its committee ses sions under the chairmanship of an American representative. "It is not uncommon for the advo cates of the league of Versailles to contrast unfavorably The Hague tri bunal upon the ground that the tri bunal 'lacks teeth.' Very well, then, let's put 'teeth' into it. If, in the failed league of Versailles there can be found machinery which the tri bunal can use properly and. advan tageously, by all means let it be appropriated. I would go even further. I would take and combine all that is good and xcise all that is bad from both or ganizations. Creation Held Welcome. T believe humanity would welcome the creation of an international as sociation for conference and a world ourt whose verdicts upon justiciable questions, this country in common with all nations would be both wili ng and able to uphold. The decision of such a court or the recommenda tions of such a conference could be ccepted without sacrificing on our part or asking any other power to sacrifice one iota of its nationality. The democratic nominee has spoken about America abandoning her asso- iates in war and deserting the allied ations in establishing the league of 'ersailles. It has already been aban doned by Europe," which had gone so far as to accept It by formal agree ment in treaty. Listen to the wise and far-seeing. ex-British ambassador, who was not permitted to present his credentials to our executive. As long, said vis count Grey, hardly a month ago, as long as the richest, most powerful, the greatest , both for population ana territory, of the civilized countries of the world stands outside the league. the league will be unable to fulfil its destiny. To put it In quite plain erms, the Americans must be tola that if they will only join the league hey can practically name their own terms.' Undoubtedly that is the fact. Viscount tire? Quoted. "Viscount Grey continues: "The Americans should be entrusted with the task of -drafting a reconstruction scheme.' Then he suggests further that 'a committee of the senate could draw up suggestions for the recon struction of the league. Frankly, I value that suggestion very highly. It comprehends substan tially what I would propose to do If elected president. I do not mean pre cisely that. It would be clearly un wise to undertake specific suggestions or to attempt to pass upon sugges tions now. What is In my mind is the wisdom of calling into real con ference the ablest and most expert enced .minds of this country from whatever walks of life they may be derived and without regard to party affiliation to formulate a definite. practical plan along the lines already indicated for the consideration of the controlling foreign jjowers. The objection that this course would involve the reconvening of the entire convention may be regarded as very slight one. The acceptance of our proposals by the few principal nations would undoubtedly be fol lowed promptly by th acceptance on the part of the minor members of the alliance." Speech Made to Delegation. The speech was delivered to a dele gation of the Harding club of In di&napolis and to a group from Mln nesota. Will Ji. Hays, republican national chairman, and Senator Harry 8. New, head of the party s speakers' bureau headed the Indiana delegation and tonight Mr. Hays issued a statemen declaring that Senator Harding "cut an unfaltering way straight through the tangle of the league of nation into which the bungling of the dem ocratic administration has led the country and into which the pro gramme of the wtlson-cox alliance would keep us endlessly." "Senator Harding has pointed th path," the statement said. "He is th masterly leader. He has spoken with out truculence to prejudice. Hi voice now leads the statesmanship o America."

GELLATLY VISITOR HERE BAGPIPERS ACCOMPANY WASH. 1XGTOX CANDIDATE. NEW LONDON, N. H, Aug. 28! A conference 'between representatives of the United States and Canada to settle the controversy over pulp wood from the crown lands of the eastern Canadian provinces wfes strongly urged at the convention of forestry experts and paper manufacturers here this week. - Edward Beck of Montreal, secretary of the Canadian Pulp and Paper asso ciation, said that the question of re moving restrictions upon the exporta tion of pulp wood from the crown lands of Canada to the United States was one 'for judicial determination rather than political agitation. The conference was held under the auspices of the Society for the Pro tection of New Hampshire Forests and was attended by forestry experts and" paper makers from the United States and Canada. Mr. Beck was in vited to present Canada's side of the pulp-wood controversy, brought to notice by the passage in congress of the UTiderwood .resolution calling for n American commission to visit Canada with a view to obtaining the removal of restrictions on pulp-wood exports. Mr. Beck declared that Canada had no reason to avoid inquiry into tne quity of its timber laws by any im partial tribunal. He said it was not true that the present shortage of printing paper in the United States was chargeable to the Canadian tim ber regulations, but that it was due to world-wide conditions, aggravated by the ''inordinate use of paper by both American and Canadian pub Ushers." He declared that free ao cess to Canada's pulp wood would not give American publishers cheaper or ore abundant paper, as Had been claimed. Preservation Is Necessary. Mr. Beck asserted that the Canadian pulp-wood restrictions did not apply to privately owned lands, from which more than 1,000.000 cords of pulp wood were annually exported to the United States. In addition, he said, Canada exports nearly 600,000 tons of duId and about 650,000 tons of paper to the United States every year, comprising approximately one -ninth of the American pulp consumption and one-third of all the newsprint paper consumed in or exported from the United States. Restrictions on the exports of pulp wood from the crown lands, he de clared. were brought about solely by the desire to conserve the pulp-wood resources and utilise their products for the upbuilding of the pulp and paper industries within tne Canadian provinces and with no intent to in urs American industries. "The real auestion at issue. ne said, "is not whether this material shall be available - for the use of American publishers, but whether the material cut from these lands shall go in the form of raw pulp wood to the United States, or shall be put through at least one stage of manu facture in Canada." So far as Canada's pulp wood is being cut, i hich percentage of it already was go ing to the united Estates la ou w or another. Little Relief tn Stunt. without a very heavy increase in the rate of cutting, invoivir.g tne rlv destruction of the supply, no relief to American publishers from this means would bo possiDie, saia Mr. "Beck. Onrbee'a rjulowood is now Deing consumed at the rate of over 1,000,000 rnrda a year, and the best informed amort - ooinion estimated the re tmiri of that province wouio iaai not more than 50 years at the present rata of consumption, said tne speaner, who declared that uueoecs xoresio already are threatened with early ex hanation. Canada's srreat need toaay, saia mi- Beck, like that of the New England states, is for the Inauguration of a reforestation policy that will insure a permanent supply of timber for her wood-consuming mauBines.

The primary law In Washington, which requires the simple payment of 150, together with the announce ment of candidacy, has resulted in unique and entertaining campaign methods, according to John A, Gel latly of Wenatchee, republican can didate for governor of Washington, who was in Portland last night: One of the candidates carries a quartet with him to draw crowds others use other methods to bring the citizens together, but Gellatly de clares that his method has them all beat, as his duet of Highland Scotch bagpipe artists never fails to bring a crowd, no matter how small the town. Gellatly has conducted a whirl wind campaign through tho southern part of the state along the Columbia river last week, in the process of which he averaged from four to seven speeches a day, he said. Yesterday ne spoke at no less than five towns before audiences attracted by the wailing cadences of his bagpipe ar tists.
