K. l.. Beach, of the firm OF

Just returned last week from a visit
to Portland. While in that city Mr..
Beach signed the agency for the bort
car which will be handled by this firm
during the coming season.
After looking the market over care
fully, Mr.. Beach became convinced
that the bort gave more real value
for the money than any car of its
class. This car is a small. light
weight, sturdy-built car with the east
est riding qualities of any automobile
of its size
While it has not been long in the
West, 1t has a wonderful reputa-
tion for durability and stay-on-the-
road qualities from the East and
South where it has been running for
some three years. It's performance
in and about Portland satisfied Mr..
Beach that it would stand up equally
as well on the Pacific Coast, and he
predicts a triving business with this
beautiful little car.

CHANCE FREIGHT RATES IS
 WANTED

WASHINGTON, Dec. IA. - The In terstate Commerce Commission in its annual report to congress, recommen- ded q sweeping change fiji methods Of establishing freight and passenger rates so that shippers would no longer be compelled to show a proposed rate unreasonable or see it become effec tive. Carriers seeking to alter a rate would be compelled to show the change was reasonable.
 The recommendation is that by staute congress fix the interstate rates, fares, charges, classificatiOns rules and regulations existing at a specific date, prior to that of enact ment, as just and reasonable for the past, and provide that no change there in after that specified date may be made except upon order of the com mission: with provision that such statute shall not affect the proceed ings pending at the time of enact ment"
 The purpose of the suggestion is said to be mainly to correct flaws in the present method by which an in jured shipper seeks reparatiOn for payment of a higher rate than subse- quently is approved by the commits sion.
 It was said, however that the effect of such legislation would be radical upon methods of rate establishment. At present tariffs proposing rate changes filed by the railroads become operative on a fixed date unless sus- pended by the commission and shown on hearing to be unreasonable, unjust or discriminatory. If existing rates are declared by statute to be just and reasonable it was pointed out, the burden will be on those who wish to change them.
 Referring to the adjustment of rates to and from the east and the Pacific coast and the intermountain country the commission says it is it's design If possible, to attain a permanent basis for the adjustment of this per plexing question and reach such so Iution without any Encouragement tC the just relative utilization by all the people of the established transcoGti mental avenues of transportation, by rafl as we'll as by the canal"
 The physical valuation of railroads the report declares. has gone fal enough to predict that the same rat' of progress in the future will see roat

FEDERAL I TRADE COMMISSIONS
 REPORT

WASHINGTON. Dec II. - The country's business men have given hearty cooperation to the Federal Trade Commission in it's efforts to maintain proper standards of com mercial morality in American busi- ness, according to the annual report of the commission, just made public.
 Development of the commissions policy has had for it's first purpose, the report declares. promotion Of the best business efficiency. It's aim has been "to understand and make allow ance for the difficulty Of the problem, to see both sides of every case, to protect men in the furtherance of le- gitimate self-interest by all reasonable and normal methods. and at the same time to keep the channels of cOmpe- tition free and open to all, so that a man with small capital may engage in business in competition with pow erful rivals, assured that he may op-
  rassment and intimidation and may be given a fair opportunity to work out his business problems with such industry. efficiency and intelligence as he may possess"
 The report lays stress on the work of the commission in preventing un- fair competition. Since its creation and up to the end of the fiscal year the commission has considered 246 applications for the issuance of com plaints against corporations and firms accused of unfair practices. Of those l07 have been disposed of in various ways. Some concerns were ordered to discontinue the tactics complained of, others voluntarily agreed to cease unbusinesslike methods and in some cases no law violations were found. The charges covered many kinds of law violations.
 The trade commissions work has included also economic and special in yesugatiOns. What the commission considers its most important economic inquiry was into the subject of CO., operation in export trade. This re- port was issued during the summer and recommended to congress that American manufacturers be permitted to form export combinations. A bill providing for that having the endorse ment of the administration is now pending in congress.

The scene for the follies was laid in Lafayette Park opposite the White House, and re- vealed as principal characters Vance Mccormick, chairman of the Demo cratic national committee, and William R. Wilcox, chairman of the Republi- can national committed

 Wilcox - But Colonel Roosevelt did not suffer from vocal trouble Ills voice was heard throughout the land
 Mccormick - So noticed from the returns. He helped us in the winning of the west.
 Here the voice of Roosevelt inter rupted the colloquy, saying: am now deyoting my attention to my dutie: as a grandfather. But my health is bully. In 1920 the country will know where to find me. My address is stil at Oyster Bay Wilcox - What about New Jersey Mccormick - Hush, hush, We will talk Of other things.
