' "Chief credit for this gratify ing' showing belongs' to Dodge Brothers president and ; general manager, Mr. Fredrick J. Haynes. There has been a steady, healthy growth in production every year during his administration. The factory has been greatly enlarged, much new equipment has been in stalled and ' many better methods of manufacture have been ad opted. ' "In addition, pronounced Im provement have been made in the appearance and riding qualities of the car, adding greatly to the ap peal of a well built product. "Mr. Haynes,- of course, insists that he is simply carrying out the principles that would have been followed by John F. and Horace E. Dodge, were they still in - per sonal supervision. He began by learning these principles just 25 years ago, having first met John Dodge on January 1, 1900, when he wept to work for him. Mr. Dodge, at that time, was super intendent of the National Cycle -and Automobile Co., of Hamilton, Ontario. .- The meeting with Hor ace Dodge followed a few months later. During the many years of their subsequent association, Mr. Haynes naturally had eyery oppor tunity to observe and analyze the methods and policies that brought f. the Dodge . Brothers - such great prominence and sucess and he: has always said that as long as those principles continue to govern an "Institution, It" will prbsperT "The continuous ' growth " of .Dodge Brothers is emphatic proof 1 of the truth, of . this statement, jbut , it must , also be , remembered Tthat it requires tremendous vigor. -and initiative, as - well as Bound . business judgment, to see that those principles are continually .adherecTto..

THe brief particularly calls for treaties' which-will tend toward an equilibrium of trade in manufac tured" products. 4 It is recognized that raw mate rials ' are r largely 1n demand throughout - the world and' that the essence' of favorable foreign trade is to secure an outlet for our manufactures. Automobiles are our second lar gest industrial product in exports, exceeded only by cotton. - Any dis crimination, therefore, against this' product has a very wld hear ing up on out" grand total of indus trial ' export, the committee points OUt. 1 .

' 1 1 PORTLAND Jan. Si. Declar ing that the Oregon state tax on ocean going vessels is causing own ers of such tonnage . to register their ships in California and Is therefore depriving Portland of the benefits of having- a large fleet with' this as the home port, the Chamber of Commerce here will attempt to secure legislation to have the tax reduced to a mini mum! 1 The action of the chamber does not affect Portland alone, but In eludes Astoria, Coos Bay and oth er sections which might have larger home tonnage were it not for the state tax from which ships are exempt in California. The chamber has adopted reso lutions in which it was flatly stat ed that' Oregon men and compan ies have already registered vessels under their ownership in Califor nia, thus giving that state greater prestige in world commerce. It is proposed by the chamber that the tax? which cannot be eliminat ed entirely, be made one-twentieth of that on buildings and improve ments on real estate. It is 1 pointed out that the tax would be so small then that it would not bea matter of particu lar consequence to the ship own ers but in the aggregate would bring tax money to the state' not now obtainable.
