THE SUNDAY OREGONIAX,- PORTLAND, NOVEMBER 14, 1920
HOUSE SPEAKER WHO
has been In rizona for the benefit
of her health. She is survived by :
her husband, who is employed by the;
PACIFIC COAST GETS
Georgia, as a democrat, and his terra
is for six years.' The' appointments
are recess ones and the nominations
under the law are subject to approval
by the senate.
Two Members Reappointment.
The chairman and Mr. Donald are
reappointed from the present board,
while the selection of Mr. Thompson
and Mr. Teal was made some time
ago. but was not announced because
some of the. members appointed then
declined to serve. The yincluded Theo
dore Marburg- of Baltimore, Gavin
McNab of San Francisco and Martin
Gillen of Wisconsin. ' .
Under the law. not more than four
members of the board can be of any
one political party. Four democrats
and three republicans have been ap
pointed, but in some quarters today
doubt was expressed whether the re
publican senate would approve this
political alignment in view of the fact
that a republican administration will
come into power on next March 4. It
was regarded as possible that action
on the nominations would, be held up
until after March 4. . ,
Immediate organization of the new
board is looked for, as a number of
policies with respect to the government-owned
merchant marine . laid
down in the merchant marine act can
not be carried Into effect until the
full board has begun to function.
Much of the preliminary work, how
ever, has been been done by the pres
ent board.
. Since congress failed to make a
specific appropriation for the salaries
of : the members of- the new board,
they are not expected to draw any
pay until congress at its next session
nas made funds available.
The salaries fixed by law are $12.
000 for each commissioner. Members
of the board must devote all their
time to the duties of their office and'
they must divest themselves from
any interest which they may have in
the shipping industry.
FAIR TREATMENT ASSURED
Mr. Dot! son Believes Mr. Teal WiTl
See to Port's Rights.
"With the selection by President
Wilson of Joseph N. Teal as a mem- I
ber of the United States shipping
board, I feel that Portland and its
tributary trading radius will receive
absolutely fair and just treatment
and that our worst troubles on the
score of . unfair and discriminatory
actions against us will cease," said
W. D. B. Dodson, general manager of
the Chamber of Commerce, upon his
arrival from Washington at 7 o'clock
last night.
Mr. Dodson had been absent on spe
cial missions for the chamber fer
about five and one-half months and
expressed keenv pleasure at being in
his home city once more. He has no
immediate plans for any future east
ern trips, but said he will advise with
his board of directors as to future
activity along this line. His own
impression, he said, is that with Mr.
Teal's appointment to the shipping
board, the interests of Portland and
its trading territory will . be -well
cared for as to ships and with rela
tion to a square deal all around, inso
far as it lies within Mr. Teal's sphere
of influence as a member.
"I really feel quite confident of the
future," said Mr. Dodson. "Things
look good to me, now that Mr. Teal
has been given a position on the ship
ping board and with the assurances
already gained from authorities at
Washington that we shall get fair
treatment. I am assured by high offi
cers of the board that our case will
be well cared for from now on. that
we shall have ample ships for our
needs and that no discrimination will
be practiced against us.
"i went to Washington for the
chamber particularly to go into the
fight for our shipping rights and
return with the firm belief that we
have won our point; that we .were
right in our position that we should
not be subjected to the unspeakable
humiliation and unfairness of being
put into the Seattle district, where
our port would be dominated by
unfriendly interests to our great det
riment, and that we have proved we
were right. The first great victory
was had when .we were reassigned
to the California district and the
second was when Mr. Teal obtained
appointment to the shipping board.
"I now have assurance that this
port will not be compelled to compete
with privately-owned vessels -in the
oriental service by shipping board
steamers; that a readjustment will be
made in due time and that the coast
wise feeder service in the orient will
be so conducted that we shall have
fair treatment on that score."
There is a sort of industrial depres
sion in the east and south. Mr. Dod
son said, but that this will adjust it
self and that prosperity will replace
It very soon, is the prevailing opinion
in business circles.'
As a beginning toward what It. la
hoped by those interested will prov
to be a permanent organization de
signed to weld together ports in terri
tory not dominated by the great aii9
operating companies. Mr. Dodson aid
that representatives of 32 states un
decided to co-operate in obtaining
fair treatment from the government.
This association of interests is ex
pected, he said, to result in great good
to the communities interested, as by
a union of their strength It is believed
they will be able to make their in
fluence felt far better than they
could individually.

2 111 SHIPPING BODY
THE OREGOXIAX NEWS BUREAU,
Washington, Nov.. 13. A movement
among western members of congress
to make a change in the speakership
of the house in the interest of the
special projects of the west, good
roads,- reclamation and water power
development, is gathering some mo
mentum. ......
Dr. Simon D. Fess of Ohio is picked
as the beneficiary -of this move. There
is no particular opposition to Speaker
Oillette, but there is a feeling that a
New England man cannot possess the
deep sympathy with the problems of
the west that is needed at this time.
Dr. Fess for several years has been
chairman of the national republican
congressional campaign committee..
In 1918 and again this year he has
obtained the election of a very
strongly republican house and - his
name is put forward as the logical
man from the middle west familiar
with and sympathetic to .the needs
of the whole country and particularly
the west. When Speaker Gillette was
elected Dr. Fess was a tentative can
didate but withdrew in the interest
of party harmony and yie plan is
now to make Mr. Gillette chairman of
the ways and means committee or
one of the other Important .commit
tees of the house.
From Ohio comes additional pres
sure for the elevation of Dr. Fess
to the speakership. Two years from
now the republicans expect to elect
a successor to Senator Pomerene, a
democrat. Unless Dr. Fess is in the
speaker's chair he will be the logical
candidate for the toga now held by
the democratic senator-from Ohio.
Initial Steps Being Taken.
There are men who would like to
step into Pomerene's shoes and there
is no chance for them unless Dr. Fess
is eliminated by promotion. Already
as the western republicans in .con
gress begin to arrive the initial steps
in this campaign are being taken ani
it is more than probable that the
plan will succeed.
Representative Fess. who was for
merly president of Antioch. college,
ranks as the great scholar of the
house and is especially an authority
on history. He has written several
books, but, notwithstanding his long
' years in a school room, he possesses
remarkable ability on the stump, be
ing a brilliant orator.

state was entitled to $5000 provided it
matched the federal sum dollar for
dollar. The 1921 federal allowance
will be $75,000.
"The state of Oregon was one; of
the first to- take up this offer and
has done more towards helping it
along than any other state," said

receiving training in the various

"I took medicine for years for my
rheumatism, but I might as well have
thrown my money In the street for all
the good it did me." said Mr. Charles
Schauer of No. S3 Iroquois street,
Freeport, 111.
As Mr. Schauer Is now free from
rheumatism an account of his experi
ence will interest those who sill suf
fer. -
"My legs from the knees down were
always cold and they ached. The
muscles were sore and the cords stiff.
When I bent my knees they seemed
to grate. I had a continual backache
and pain in the shoulders. .
"My circulation was so poor that
my hands and feet would get numb
and I would have to rub them. I had
so much pain that my nights were
restless.
"After years of useless effort to get
well I read about Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills and got a box. I thought the
pills helped me and bought a second
box. By the time I had used that
one I felt more at ease and .slept bet
ter. By the time I had taken six
boxes the pain in my back and shoul
ders had left me and I was on the
road to recovery. My hands and feet
were no longer cold, the sorenes is
gone from the muscles and I am rec
ommending Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
to everyone who has rheumatic pains
or who suffers from poor circulation
of the blood."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills enrich the
blood by enabling it to absorb more
oxygen. This oxygen burns up the
poisons of rheumatism and other im
purities. By keeping the blood rich
and red you protect yourself against
relapses which are the rule where the
blood is thin and impure.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale
People are sold by your own druggist
or will be sent direct by mail, post
paid, on reoeipt of price, 60 cents per
box. Write to the Dr. Williams Med
icine Co., Schenectady, N. Y for free

containing a special chapter on the
treatment of rheumatism. Adv.
