i 1 J
States infantry match at Camp
Ferjy Wednesday and won the
United States infantry match, ac
cording to- a telegraphic report
received by Brigadier General
George A. White, commanding the
Oregon-Idaho Infantry troops from
Major F. M. West, who Is in com
mand: of the Oregon, riflemen at
the; national matches. The vic
tory carries with it one of the
largest and hardest fought-for of
the r national trophies and sets a
new record of achievement fos
western riflemen. : '
The infantry match, established
since 'the World war, requires fir
ing at all ranges and is a test of
. both accuracy In fire and judg
ment ia judging distances and fir
ing conditions. Winning 'of the
match has usually been conceded
to the regular service and semi
professional eastern teams. , The
Oregon national guardsmen1 began
setting a new style of bringing
the- national trophies to the west
last year by winning three na
tional trophies that had never be
fore been, west or the Mississippi
river. J . . . f . ,

eastern countries, especially China
and Japan, will stand their ground
in insisting upon all their rights
before the league of nations, was
furnished by tonlghVssession of
the league of nations. Japan came
out squarely in favor of granting
China a seat on the council of
the league as a great Asiatic pow
er, thus giving expression to Jap
anese-Chinese solidarity.
Persia also backed China's in
sistence that the great geographi
cal divisions of the world, the
principal races 'and the chief
sources of wealth should all be
recognized in the' distribution of
council seats and urged that China
be given a seat because Asia is
the largest continent in the world,
containing half the human race.

ECHOES FROM
A new angle to the state fair
was observed : Thursday noon
through the courtesy of Earle N.
Shahan, manager of the French-Noll-Shahan
commercial airplane
line, which has two machines here
this week, when a representative
of The Statesman was permitted
to accompany A. R. French, pilot
of the Skylark during the stunt
program which is staged daily.
Flying is exhilerating only, but
the real thrill comes when the
ship is guided into a nose dive
when around 3,000 feet in the
air and "comes out of it" when
the ground is not so far away.
The ship appeared to stand still
and the ground whirl around be
neath, though the approach was
not noticeable .until the ship had
reached an even keel once more.
Not only did the fairgrounds ap
pear from' a new angle, but . a
variety of other geometrical fig
ures v entered into the line of
vision. Among the stunts being
pulled dally are the loop-the-Ioop,
nose spins, spirals and barrel rolls
and others. After putting In three
poor days, the aviation company
did a land office business yes
terday, both machines being in
almost constant use in carrying
passengers. 1. The silver-colored
ship, a Curtlss plane, is piloted
by William 4f. Noll. The aviators

around-the-world fliers here where"
they are due to land Saturday.
Because of the, attraction and the
large crowds that will be on hand
it is -expected that no commercial
flights wljl be made at this .time.

PHILADELPHIA, j Sept. 25
Proposals for government owner

by j President Coolidge . as
"uneconomic' and ! "encroach
ments upon our rights."
Speaking: at exercises commem
orating the 150th anniversary, of
the meeting of the First Continen

newed his assault on suggestions
to limit the power of the supreme
court and urge that the people re
sist encroachment upon their
rights and liberties guaranteed by
the Constitution. j
f - r
"If we wish to maintain what
our fathers here established," he
declared "we shall 1 do well to
leave the people in the ownership
of their : property. In control of
their government and, under the
protection of their courts."

ship of railroads, "to reconcile the
American ideal of a sovereign peo

Furthermore, he j declared, it
would mean a loss in public re
venue estimated ; at $600,000,000
a year with a resultant increase in
the tax on : farmers of from three
to 40 percent." ; " t j '
Mr. Coolidge devoted most of
his address to a discussion of early
history of this country and the
birth of the Constitution after the
organization of the First Continen

Referring .to the j deliberations
of this congress, the President as
serted that. "If we could better un
derstand what they said and did to
establish our free institutions, we
should be less likely to be misled
by the misrepresentations and dis
torted arguments of the hour, and
be far better equipped to maintain
them." j

He drew a lesson j from the de
clarations of the congress as show

and candor over violence and de
