THE MORNING OEEiRONIAN, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1902. MAYOR I8T0 CHOOSE Mr. Williams Considers Char ter Appointments, SELECTIONS TO BE MADE SOON City' Executive Believe Charter Will Go Into Kffect When Passed Probable Make-Up ot tlie Va rloBs "Boards. Mayor Willlami' office la far from a Binecure these days. All kinds of people crowd In on him in quest of jobs. J.ne new charter is soon to go into effect ana in the shnke-up of things many gentlemen hope that they will be able to capture some job or other, be it policeman or fireman or poundmaster or clerk or jan-n-r. 3nr nirf thine. In spite of good times many people long for the bounty rf 4-Via fovno vfiN ' But the Mayor chooses to begin -with the high appointments and work down from them. The various boards provided for in the new charter will help him put that instrument into operation and will relieve him or the trouble of minor ap pointments. The personnel of these boardB is therefore the first question in his mind at this time. The charter will confer large powers on the Mayor. To help him exercise these powers he will engage the best men of the city. As the success of the charter wi'l depend on how the new govern ment gets started, and as the Mayor de sires to cet an example for future admin istrations to follow, he is, determined to choose the, very best men he can get for the heads of departments. Mayor Williams declines to be Inter viewed for publication on the subject of appointments. "1 am not ready to discuss appoint ments yet," said he. "You are considering the personnel or the boards, I suppose," ventured the re porter. "Yes, all the time. But really you will have to excuse me from discussing the matter now." "When will the charter go into effect? "Between January 12 and 20, I think." "So soon? But how about the initiative and referendum amendment, which pre vents a law from becoming operative until 90 days after its enactment?" "The charter is a law for, the immedi ate safety of citizens of Portland," re sponded the Mayor. "Do you think the courts will sustain an emergency provision for putting the charter into operation at once?" City Face an Emergency. "I do, and I think there will be no dis pute on that point. When bridges are falling down and killing people and there is no way to repair or renew the struc tures except under the new charter, would not an emergency seem to exist?" "How about the civil service commis sion?" "I shall appoint one." "But will not appointments to minor of fices have to be made before that com mission can carry out the charter regu lations in regard to them?" "Yes, it wIlL" "And will not all offices have to be filled, from the highest to the lowest. when the new government is insti tuted?" "They will." "Then the work of new boards such as the executive board, will begin, as to pre liminaries, before the charter goes into effect?" "Yes; the executive board Is the most important department of the new city government, it ana tne jkiayor win run most of the affairs of the city." "And you will make complete cha'nges in the minor offices?" The Mayor evaded this question. He Intimated, however, that the efficient em ployes of the city government would be retained in their places. Then he went cn: Mayor's Great Bnrden. "There is a great deal of work to dp In setting up the new government. Many people do not appreciate this and they troop in here one after another in quest of positions. If they knew of the other heavy work of this office they would be more considerate. The burden of creat ing the new city government rests on me and on me alone. There is nobody else to carry this burden. But I can carry it. added the Mayor, cheerily, "if callers will only give me a chance." The reporter took the hint and bowed himself out and the Mayor returned to His desk. The Mayor takes few men into his con fidence, so that scraps of what he is thinking about axe hard to get. His clos est counselors have urged him to decide upon appointments right away, because many details wil have to be arranged bv the heads of departments for the transfer from the old government to the new. If the charter is to go into effect imma dlately after enactment, barelv three weeks are left for the Mayor to make ms selection or boards and for them to arrange for organizing the new govern ment. If the Mayor follows the counsel of some of his closest friends, he should have the boards and heads of depart ments chosen by next week. Of course the appointments will not be pfflclally roaae until tne charter becomes opera tive. Appointments That Will Be Made. The Mayor will aDnoInt th. fniinxHnn- Executive Board, which will control the fire, police and street departments, street ngnung, naroor and pound. Water Board. Board of Health. Park Board.

Appoint ment by the Mayor of Mr. Beebe, Colo nel Hawkins, T. L. Eliot and Henry Fleckensteln seems probable. The Board of Health and the Civil Serv ice Commission will each have three members. THE EDITOR CORRECTED. Bat His Lapses Seem on Examination Tiot Many or Serlons. PORTLAND, Dec 29. (To the Editor.) As the spirit of the equal suffrage move ment continues, like Banquo's ghost, to "walk" at Intermittent Intervals through your editorial space, I beg leave once more; not to "attack" anybody, not even anedltor who attempts' to stop the pro cession, but to show- wherein said editor needs a little coaching. What you say of Montana's Legislature's method to se cure a referendum vote on 'a. constitu tional amendment is true, but - nave you not heard of the initiative and referen dum, now a part of the constitution of Oregon? This amendment, being self acting and "self-sustaining; places the women of Oregon (who have no more power to settle the question of political equality for themselves than an Ore- gonlan writer would have to raise him self to a housetop by the straps of his boots) on an equality of opportunity with the women of. Montana, except that our women taxpayers have, as yet, no right to the taxpayers' vote, outside of school elections. The "equal suffrage party," as you arc pleased to call the women who havo neither "party" nor country, outside of Wyoming, Colorado, Utah" and Idaho, where they have made a "record" that ought to "inspire" the Republican party at home to better deeds than those of dissent and discouragement, asks for no "privilege." They 'realize that the bal lot rightfully belongs to 'them, on equal terms with men; and no man, or set of men, has any right to deny them the representation for which they pay their full quota of taxes, and provide, at their own peril, for a'country monopolized lu men, its entire soldi ery. Now as to Washington: The women of thatstate possessed, their right of suf frage for nearly four years, under ter ritorial government, but when the state was formed they were robbed, of their ballots by a political trick fully equal to the crime of Chief Justice Taney In the Dred Scott case. History teaches us that every law based upon Injustice must sooner or later meet its own overthrow. We may be, and often are, "defeated," but this fact proves nothing, except that every sort of tyranny dies hard. The "privileges" granted to us now and then, In lieu -of our inherent rights, such as tho "school suffrage," etc., etc., are building our steps, reaching higher and yet higher toward the Temple of Liberty: and the state of the Pacific's edges first to open the doors of this temple to Its wives and mothers, leaving them free to exercise their own judgment as to whether they will not wlu not enter, will, as I firmly believe, be the State of Oregon. We are not making a demand for recognition before members of the Legislature at this juncture. We believe the chivalrous de termination of the men of Oregon to lift their wives, mothers, sweethearts and daughters above the political compan ionship of "idiots. Insane persons, crim inals, Chinamen (not native born) and Indians (not taxed), is so thoroughly and strongly asserting itself that they will voluntarily open- the doors to our joint inheritance and "joyfully bid us enter. ABIGAIL SCOTT DUNIWAY. GENEROUS BREWERY MEN Local Union Gives Array Much Money During; Year.

The brewers have stood ready to help in every case, and have made a number of liberal contributions. In their report to the Labor Press, they list the following expenditures during the past 12 months: To the locked-out brewers of Cincinnati, 534S; to the strikers In Boston, $10; to disabled brewers of the East," $10; to the Amalgamated Woodworkers of Portland during the memorable Building Trades Council strike, $G0; to the Penn sylvania coal miners, $35; to the San Francisco beerbottlers, $20; to the wait ers of Portland, $10; to the San Francisco Ironworkers, $5; to the California tan ners, $5; expended on Labor day, $76.
