12 TIIE SUNDAY ORKGONIAN, PORTLAND, MARCH. 2T, 1921 CHO C 0 DO ON F OflEGOITC 01 HOPE Shipping Board Vacancy to Be Filled by Democrat WHOSE RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES DEPEND ON SUCCESS OF COMMUNITY CHEST DRIVE. COAST GETS TWO PLACES Explanation Given of Advocacy by Republicans of Appointment of ex-Senator Chamberlain. Why prominent republicans should use their efforts to have George B. Chamberlain appointed on the ship ping board, when Mr. Chamberlain was defeated by the people of Oregon for re-election to the United States senate four short months ago. Is puz zling some members of the- party who are not conversant with the situation. This happens to be especially true among some of Senator Stanfield's supporters who construe efforts to place Mr. Chamberlain on the ship ping board as a sort of reflection on the new senator, not knowing that Senator Stanfield Is himself urging the appointment of his late opponent The shipping board Is composed of oeven members. Under the law, four menrbers shall be of one political party and three of the opposite party. When Woodrow Wilson was president and the democrats were in power, Mr. Wilson appointed four democrats and three republicans. It is also stipulated In the law that two of the seven members of the board shall represent the Pacific coast. Mr. Wilson appointed a re .. publican from California and a demo crat, J. N. Teal, of Oregon. Now that the republicans are In tha saddle. President Harding will name four republicans and three democrats. Both Washington and California are fighting for representa tion on the shipping board and each of these states is demanding the ap pointment of a republican. There is small likelihood of the two Pacific coast members being republicans, as that would leave the board unbalanced politically elsewhere, as it would give three democrats and two republicans. The logical deduction is that the re publican president will divide the two Pacific coast members, naming one republican and one democrat, the same as Mr. Wilson did. Mr. Teal, democratic appointee of Mr. Wilson, cannot be placed on the shipping board by the republicans There are sundry reasons which eliminate Mr. Teal from considera tion by President Harding. Democrat Is Oregon's Chance. This resolves the situation in Ore gon down to getting a democrat on the board, for the influences of Washington and California are de manding republicans from those states. Of the available democrats in Oregon, Mr. Chamberlain is the only one who can be advocated with any degree of success. The democrats of Oregon have no influence with the republican administration, naturally, eo the pressure for Mr. Chamberlain's appointment must come from the re publicans. In addition to the wish of Oregon people to have Mr. Chamberlain ap pointed. It is also the desire of Presi dent Harding to appoint Mr. Cham berlain, providing the appointment is satisfactory to the commercial inter ests of this state, for the president has a close personal friendship for his former colleague of the days when they were together in the senate. Chamberlain's Chances Good. It is considered practically cer tain that either California or Wash ingtoa will lose out in the fight. With the states on either side of Oregon contesting, the Oregon dele gation has lined up behind the cause of Chamberlain, reinforced by re publican leaders of the state and the commercial bodies. Three days after his inauguration President Harding gave strong inti mation to Ralph B. Williams, repub lican national committeeman for Ore gon, that Mr. Chamberlain ultimately will be appointed, and the president previously had assured Senator Sic Nary that he intended taking care of Mr. Chamberlain. Such is the explanation of the vigorous efforts of Oregon repub licans to aid Mr. Chamberlain: they must either help him or see Oregon without representation on the ship ping board.

Objective The sura Of $850, 000 to finance SO worthy chari ties, reducing the cost of solic itation to 214 per cent, elimi nating the endless procession of drives and insuring the ap plication of every dollar to its beneficiaries. Slogan "Have a heart." Purpose The relief of pover ty and suffering and the mak ing of Americans. WHAT other cities have done for the alleviation of suffering and poverty, and for the building of a worthier citizenry, Portland will un dertake tomorrow in its first Com munity Chest campaign launched for a haven of $870,000 and the consolida tion of public effort to bring light and laughter into thousands of friend less lives. Sixty worthy charities, of the sort that bear the burdens of the public and accept the obligation to care for the weak and helpless, are listed as beneficiaries of the enterprise. If it be more blessed to give than to re ceive, contend the campaigners about to take the field, let the donor pic ture the Bplendid solace and assist ance that his dollars will yield to those who are to receive aid. And by the merging of the charities in a single effort, needless expense is eliminated, fret and constant worry rushed from the scene, and the max imum power of the contribution is set to its task of cheer. Mayor la Optimistic. "A dollar," said Mayor Baker, generalissimo of the philanthropic project, "is at its best when it shines in a good cause. Today I feel that tomorrow will usher in a new deal for our charities, our homes, our in stitutions for those who are handicapped- Some say that business meth ods mark or mar this plan for the community chest. I say that it is good business that sends every cent to its goal the best business enter prise that Portland ever sponsored. And it will win."- Whereupon the mayor, relieved from city hall duty to lend his en thusiasm to an obviously important civic undertaking, turned to his staff typist and rolled out the following proclamation to Portland with the emphasis of sincere conviction: "An army of unpa'd workers whose only reward will be that of knowing that they have contributed their ef fort and money for the cause of suf fering humanity, will start out Mon day morning to raise the $850,000 which is necessary to take care of Portland's charity needs during this year. These workers are contributing their services giving up their own affairs for this work, purely in the cause of humanity. Each Held Responxtble. "While they are assuming this work, their responsibility in this drive is no greater than yours. It is therefore your duty to make a deci sion at once on the amount you can give to charity, and to be prepared to give promptly when solicited. Your decision as to amount should be set tled in advance and should be liberal. It is decidedly unfair to ask a so licitor to see you later or to cause a solicitor any inconvenience in ob taining your contribution. This is a community affair, and the solicitors in undertaking the canvass are doing more than their duty. Be prepared to do yours promptly and liberally." Sfnres of business men and others and is once more ready to move out in the cause of humanity. That the campaign will be a thorough success is considered a foregone conclusion by the leaders. The $850,000 to be raised represents the aggregate annual amount con tributed in Portland for charity. Do nors of this sum are asked in the drive to make their donations in one lump sum instead of making small donations day by day, as was for merly the system. . ' Organisation Is Complex. The organization to stage the drive consists of 20 colonels, 200 captains and 2000 workers who will go .into every part of the city. Supplement ing these workers are 65 members of the industrial committee, who will devote - their efforts to industrial plants, a committee which will handle the foreign corporations that operate in Portland, the members of the Port land Service league, who will handle the house-to-house canvass, and the flynig squadron which will devote its efforts to large subscribers. By means of this general organization plus addi tional groups of workers who will specialize in various lines of solicita tion, it is hoped to gain the objective of $850,000 before next Saturday night. Portland will be reminded of lib erty loan drives as the campaign goes on. Preliminary features includ ed the mass meeting at the auditorium Friday night which assumed the form of an old time inspirational affair for the Bpecial benefit of the workers. Yesterday afternoon the stunts com mittee followed this up with a dem onstration on the streets. In the churches today the ministers will de vote a part of their sermons to the campaign, and in all theaters and meetings speakers will make short appeals. Cheat to Be Opened. This morning the big community chest on the postoffice block will be formally opened with appropriate ceremony. Additional features will "be staged during the week to keep up the spirit of the drive. Slides will appear in all the theaters, stunts will be staged at all, the meetings of the luncheon clubs, and in fact the com munity chest drive will be the theme in every activity. Mayor Baker, who has been gives charge of the drive as chairman of the general committee, expressed con fidence that the drive will be a com plete success. "Portland was first in war and will be first in peace," said the mayor. "We did not fail on any of the big war work tasks and will not fail in this. Other cities have succeeded, and what they can do, Portland can do just a little better.". Churches Back Drive 'In virtually every pulpit In Port land today the message of the com munity chest plan will go forth to the Easter Sunday communicants. With out exception, the clergymen of Port land realized the timeliness of em bodying the community chest idea "inasmuch as they did it unto the least of these, ye have done It unto me " in their regular Easter ser mons. The community chest plea, '"Have a Heart!" was suggested to the church men of the city as typical of the Eas ter spirit, and will be emphasized as the one outstanding thought that should pervade the entire city during the coming campaign on behalf of the 60 charitable, welfare and benevolent institutions of Portland. Mass Meeting; Planned. It will be the first time since the war that the entire church of the city has been united in one common effort to 'further enhance the fair reputation and honor of Portland as a community that responds 100 per cent strong to every worthy appeal. Tonight at 8 o'clock, the entire Jewish colony of the city will Join In a public mass meeting at B'nal B'rith building, Thirteenth and Mill streets, to unite this large body of citizenry into the common effort to put Portland over the top. Charles F. Berg, lieutenant-general of the campaign organization, will preside, and the speakers will be Ben gelling. Rabbi Wise and Max Hirsch. A spe cial musical programme will be given.

Circulation of petitions for the re call of Fred A. Williams, member of the public service commission, was officially started yesterday morning in Portland, according to announce ment of Robert G. Duncan, president of the committee incorporated for the purpose of conducting the campaign. Mr. Duncan said that 25 copies of the petition were being circulated in various sections of the city in the morning and that this was augmented by others toward evening. He said that he obtained the signatures of a hundred in an hour and ten minutes, every person approached on the sub ject signing.

Many of them have ' given their time almost exclusively to this work for weeks, and all without compensation other than the satisfaction of knowing that they iave contributed to the well being of those less fortunate in the world. . , The community chest idea was de vised more than a year ago as the best means of overcoming the dupli cation of drives, tag days, entertain ments, ticket sales, raffles, etc whlch have been the only methods available to the charities to obtain necessary funds to continue their work. By this system all of -this work is done in one campaign, the expense of duplication is overcome, and a maximum amount of the money con tributed goes to the charity for which it is intended. Thousands of dollars which here tofore has of necessity gone into the expense of putting on the individual campaigns of the charities will be saved by this system, the overhead in this campaign amounting to only 2 per cent as compared with 15 per cent under the former system. In the midst of the plans for the drive have come telegrams and let ters from the mayors of other cities using the community chest system, advising that the method has been thoroughly satisfactory in those cities and that those who doubted the effi ciency of the system before the first drive or campaign, are now in favor of it.
