American Vote Because Be Would
Mat the Answer With It. ,
' Business in the United States is bet
ter at this time than at any previous
period of history.
: Such was the declaration today of
B. U Winohell. director of traffic ot
the Union Pacific system, who is here
on his annual trip of Inspection. He
made this assertion after an analysis
- of the tonnage carried by the railroads
"In my opinion, also, business in
the northwest Is far better than many
of, ths people her suppose," he con
: tlnued. "I say this after looking at
the 'figures and not from any con
stitutional spirit of optimism."
" Scenery Zs Admired.
Mr. Wlnchell, accompanied by Mr-t.
Winchell and his secretary, intended
to arrive on the limited yesterday but
ths allurements of the Columbia gorge
. compelled the trafflo chief to take a
, slower train. He had his car switched
to the local and watched the falls
and cliffs at leisure.
' " "As a matter of fact the Columbia
gorge is of even greater importance
to Portland than low freight rates."
he observed. "It Is . something that
regulatory commissions cannot take
away nor disturb."
Mr. Wlnchell was asked to discuss
1 the decision of the Interstate Com
merce .commission announced yester
day, readjusting terminal freight
rates on the basis of the Interruption
of , water competition. He said the
decision was most disconcerting to
the . railroads as well as to the ship-
pers of the northwest.
, Existing Bates Preferred.
Many transportation men felt, he
aid. that the existing rates should
be allowed to continue, inasmuch as
the whole United States government
Is back of the Panama .canal and will
see that it is kept open and that the
war's end Is bound to come. Accord
ingly, the readjustment of 'railroad
rates on the basis of this temporarily
Interrupted sea trafflo came to
. the rail carriers with disturbing force.
. "Permanent conditions make for de
velopment." said Mr. Wlnchell. "and
It takes time and courage to readjust
, commerce to fit chsnged conditions
brought about by radical changes in
freight rates. I have no doubt but
that eventually the whole question
will be settled In a way fair to all
of ths communities Involved."

Ordinance to Create New Positions
Causes Wordy Exchange.
An ordinance aimed to create the
positions of arborculturists and Junior
engineers in the park bureau causea a
lively tilt between Commissioners
Baker and Dleck at today's cession of
the city council.
Commissioner Baker took exceptions
to what he termed "Commissioner
Dleck's technical quibbling."
Commissioner Dleck objected to the
position of Junior engineer being cre
ated in the park bureau, holding that
the civil service board opposed any
more classifications.
"I am running my department and I
don't see where it's any of your busi
ness," began Baker.
"I have got one vote," replied Dleck.
"Well, I object to this technical
quibbling. I'm responsible for my de
partment and if you're trying to make
grief for me look Out for yourself in
the future."
Here Mayor Albe attempted to In
terpose, saying that Commissioner
Baker's remarks wer not made in the
proper spirit-
Th ordinance had th emergency
clause attached, but with Commis
sioner Dieck's objections could not be
passed except to third reading.
