OREGON MEN TO
CHAMPION BILL
FOR SEA TRADE
FAVORABLE REPORT IS
PROMISED
COAST CAPITAL READY
Aim of Dyer Act Is Incorporation of
V. H. Trading Companies To Do
Dullness In China Granting
Privileges Contemplated.
(Bulletin Wuhlnrton Damn.)
WASHINGTON, D. C, May 18.
Oregon will' have much to do with the
passage through congress of tho Dyer
act, now before a subcommittee of
the senate judiciary committee.
This bill deals with tho Incorpora
tion of United States trading com
panies for the purpose ot doing busi
ness In China and grants them privi
leges under taxation law which en
ables them to compete with similar
companies doing business In China,
financed by Belgians, French and.
English and manned by citizens ot
thoso countries.
Ab tho bill, If it becomes a law.
would encourage and develop a
largo additional trade with China,
which Is unusually friendly to the
peoplo and merchants ot the United
States, the whole Pacific coast has
been strongly urging Its passage.
Capital Is Itmily.
It Is understood that It the bill
should become a law, a largo amonnt
of Oregon capital, together with
large sums from other states on the
Pacific coast, will bo availablo for
the organization anc maintenance ot
trading conpanles under this act for
the development ot Chlneso trade and
that it'wllfbrlng a great additional
amount of commerce to Portland and
other Pacific coast ports.
Former Senator George E. Cham
berlain has given a great deal of
time and assistance in regard to the
legal phase, ot tho proposed bill and
is now preparing a brief for submis
sion to the judiciary sub-committee
and the judiciary commltteo Itself.
W. D. D. Dodson, general manager
of the Portland Chamber of Com
merce, who was sent here from Port
land at the instigation ot his or
ganization, appeared before the sub
committee and urged tho Immediate
passage of this legislation for tho rea
son that every delay gave tho com
mercial competitors of the United
States every advantage and made It
more difficult tor the United State
to get Its share ot the trade In China.
Ho pointed out that under tho pres
ent conditions, trading companies in
China ot foreign countries havo been
relieved of a large part of the burden
ot taxation by their home countries
and that the least the United State
could do would bo to enable Ameri
can enterprise and American capital
to" compete with these foreign com
panies on an equal footing.
Hoover Urges 1I11L
Secretary ot Commerce Ilerbert
Hoover has requested the committee
to favor such legislation as proposed
as a great aid to American commerce
In the Far East. He urged many
reasons for Us passage, and declared
he could see no good reason why this
leglslatlon could not be placed upon
tho statutes. A representative ot the
department ot justice has stated
that In tho opinion ot tho department
thero was nothing In tho bill pro
posed that exceeded the constitution
al limits ot congress, and gave tho
reasons In detail why tho proposed
provisions should do slightly modi
fied, but otherwlso saw no reason
why tho bill should not bo enacted.
Otlfclals ot tho Btato department
and ot the department of commerce
presented to the commltteo a mass ot
information ot statistical character
showing the advantages to this coun
try of such a law as tho Dyer bill.
The sub-committee consists ot Sen
ator Cummins, chairman; Senator
Brandegee and Senator Walsh ot
Montana.
Opinions Differ.
There has been a great-deal ot dis
cussion about tho legality of con
gress enacting a law tor this puN
poso and many able men havo Insist
ed that tho rosults should bo accom
plished by trenty betweon this coun-
