IS TO GOVERNOR PLANS DRASTIC AC TION TO PUT END TO SHEPHERD AFFAIR CONFERENCE TO BE HELD TODAY Controversy Over Cruiser Botton I Cause Of Trouble Agree ment Provides For Re turning Of Ship SALEM, Or., June 12. Governor West will laaue orders tomorrow or Friday disbanding the Oregon Naval Militia according to Information which leaked out here today. The executive would make no definite atatement a to what bis plans are In thl regard, but It I certain that the move will be taken before the end of the week. Disbanding of the Mllltla probably will mean that automatically under the term of greement with the Gov ernment the cruiser Doton will be returned to the Government Navy yard at Itremerton. The agreement between the atate and Government, It la understood, contemplate the boat will Immediately be returned In event the MlliUa disbands. Tomorrow a conference will be held between Governor Weat and Adjutant General Flnzer relative (o the matter, and it Is more than probable that fol lowing the conference, which will be held at the executive office here, Governor West will arrange for the issuance of the orders and the pres ent Oregon Naval Mllltla will be done away with. The Incident yesterday when Ceo. S. Shepherd, claiming his right as Captain under the court decision, at tempted to take charge of the cmlaer Boston against the wiahea of Com mander Simpson, Is the actuating cause of the Governor's decision to tak speedy action In the matter.

The res ilient of the Eastern section of the county think If the plan for the bridgi Is approved by the Live Wires the County Court will have It built. Rev. C. W. Robinson, of a commit tee named to find out the cost of a propoaml free swimming pool and hatha, reported that It would be mora desirable to have tho bathe and pool In the city Instead of erecting a plat form In the river. -He aald the cost of a lot, cement pool and ahower hatha would be about 14,000, and the coat of a platform In the river about :d0. Mr. Robinson aald the pool and shower bath In the city could be used the entire year, while tb river plan would only be available In the summer. He also announced that the danger to boys swimming In the riv er would not be obviated by the plat form for they would swim any place they dealred, while If a pool waa es tablished In the city, the boy would not be tempted to go to the river. The other members of the committee are William Sheahan and John W. Loder. II. E. Cross (aid If the city would relievo him of hi street Improvement assciamente he would donate one of four lot owned by him in block 157 for the pool and publlo baths. Mr. loder auggeated that Mr. Cross own ed a lot at Ninth and Jefferson streets much more centrally located which he might donate. Mr. Cross replied that Mr. Loder had even a more de sirable lot near Ninth and Jefferson street which he might donate. It waa decided to devote the next evening meeting and luncheon, two weeka hence, to a discussion of th amendment to the city charter pro viding among other thing a business form of governmnt, to be voted upon In July.

U'REN AND YEAZIE DEBATE SINGLE TAX OREGON CITY LAWYER MAKES PLEA FOR GRADUATED MEASURE CEORCE SYSTEM MAY COME LATER Opponent Declares That Proposed Law Would Not Indue Own ers To Improvs Real Estate The single tax Idea waa dTsciiased for and agalnat by W. 8. U'Ren and A. L. Veazlo, at the Hell wood Y. M. C. A. Following tbe debate persons In tbe audience discussed the proposition among themselves. Mr. U'Ren devoted his time largely to explaining the meaning of the new measure of graduated single tax, which will be voted on at the' coming election. Mr. Veazle rather drifted away from tbe graduated tax Idea and talked on the theory of single tax a proposed' by Henry George. In answer to Mr. Veaxie'a atate ment that the graduated, single tax measure proposed aa a Question for the voter to decide. Is merely a bait at the trap of the Henry George sing le tax Idea, In which It la hoped to eventually catch tbe taxpayers, Mr. U'Ren aald: "All that t Intended In offering the voter an opportunity 1 to give them a chance to try It They do not have to accept It, and If they do not want It they will reject tbe proposition by tbelr ballots. 'Tf, however, they do try It, we ex pect that the result will be so grati fying that they will eventually accept the Henry George aystem. However, they will be given opportunity again to vote on that We can force noth ing on the taxpayers, and we are not trying to do o." In giving bis reasons for supporting the graduated tax Idea, and the reas on why he believe the plan would work to the advantage of taxpayer who most need help, Mr. U'Ren aaidt 'The adoption of the graduated tax ayttem would tend at once to reduce the taxes of tbe business man and the home owner, because a greater tax wouia be required from the peculat ors the big estates and the land own- era. Multnomah county would realize from 65 to 100 per cent more money In taxes under the workings of tbe graa uated tax plan. Tbe system doe not exempt the land tax value, but from valuations upward of $10,000 in addi tional, graduated tax I required." In voicing his opposition to the sin gle tax plan, Mr. Veasie aald: "Con fiscation of land by the government and the overthrow ot the theory of private ownership is really the final conclusion of the single tax Idea. I believe that any doctrine that would permit tbe government to abrogato the patenta to land It baa allowed In dividuals is altogether wrong. "The single tax Idea applied to tim ber land would force owner of tim ber to cut their timber as rapidly a possible and convert their holdings In to stump land. Single tax would not induce men to Improve and build np on their land, because the aystem would relieve from taxation those who have already built and assured their (Continued on page 4) GOVERNOR 10 SPEAK AT AURORA BARBECUE Arrangements have been complet ed for the second annual barbecue to be given at Kraus' Park, Aurora, June 23.

More than sli mile long, more than 2000 people participating, more than 600 car, more rosea than could be counted, are phrases to describe the magnitude 6f the greatest floral anto parade ever given anywhere. That Portland has more automobiles considering; population, than any other American city, waa easy to believe after seeing the vivid pageantry of this afternoon. At Thirteenth and Burnslde streets the automobiles in all tbelr glowing magnificence of decoration began con gregating even before noon. By 1 o'clock the street leading to the point of formation were congest ed. Only the careful planning perfect ed week ago by Oliver K. Jeffery, chairman of the parade committee, made it possible for one panting ma chine after another to bear its burden of beauty Into the line of march and through the great crowd the great est ever assembled In the Rose City. . Tbe music of the five bands Inter spersed with the floats Is ot the mili tant thrilling nature calculated to har monize curiously with the crashing volume ot cheers from the bystand ers. The cheering. In fact became a prominent feature of the parade. It was a murmur of approval at the be ginning ot the parade. It Increased In volume as the streets farther down town were reached. It burst forth In a great crescendo from the review stands ot Eleventh and Morrison atreet. First in line were a platoon of po lice carried In eight apropriately de corated cars. Tbe mayor and high of ficial of the state and city followed. The car next In line and occupied by . W. J. Clemens, president of the Auto Club, was one of the most beautiful in the entire parade. A long line of electric pleasure ve hicles, vivid with blossoms and flags. musical with the Joy of those who rode In them, waa followed by the brightly adorned runabouts snd road sters each carrying two persona. In the touring car division entries that attracted especial attention be cause of their signal attractiveness snd originality were the cars belong ing to Oliver K. Jeffery ,-parade chair man; Henry Ladd Corbett, the Colum bia Trust company and. the Great Northern railway. FARMER ASKS WEST SALEM, Or., June 10. All sorts ot appeals are made to Governor West, and the latest is from O. W. Sloneck- er of Gardiner, Or., who asked the Governor to keep automobiles oft the new road just completed between Gardiner and Glenada. "We dont consider that these autos have any right or privilege on this road," he said. "We look upon them a a dangerous nuisance and in re straint ot trade." He explained that the road had been built after twenty year of effort; that It wa narrow and had abort turn, and bad but few place for teams to pass. He aald for eleven mile there wa not a house and for sixteen miles not a telephone, and that the teams became almost scared to death at the approach of an automobile. "Either the farmers or the autolsts will have to stay off." he said. He added as a postcript that he thought the settler would be willing to give the road over to the autotsta on "Sun day to chase themselves It they wish, providing they don't abuse the privi lege." Governor West turned the commun ication over to Attorney General Craw ford for reply.
