"Public confidence In Dodge
Brothers product as never greater.
Respect and admiration for the
car's long life, dependable per
formance and comfortable riding
qualities are" universal. j. i f
"It is this public confidence,
coupled with constant, diligent
Improvements in the car, that ac
counts for Dodge Brothers in
creased business in the face of
a general decrease. '
"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

Application for new commercial

ed to the United States Senate

National Automobile Chamber of
Commerce.
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.

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. Several new ships
were added to the Portland home
fleet last year but it is firmly be-
