THE MORNING OREfiONTAN. TUESDAY. ltr LIFE OF RAILROADS ART GLASS WINDOW TO BE UNVEILED AT CESEMONY THIS MORNING. RESTS WITH PUBLIC Sentiment Must Become More Favorable jf Lines Are to Exist, Says C. M. Clark. 18' ,j t , i "ri"'i'i TiTrT ii nil i ii iii,jMwwwwtw,w-1J,ftr r-jc - IFsicIg ! t ' 1 EMPLOYES URGED TO HELP Attitude of Divesting Corporations of Profits by Taxation Halts Development, Js Statement. Oregon Xevjr Cited. "If the railroads of this country are to thrive, or even exist, public senti ment must assume a more favorable attitude, and if public sentiment is to be corrected, it will be necessary for the railroad employes, from the track walkers', to the directors, to go out and acquaint the public with the fact that the policy of the railroads is. 'the pub lic be pleased." " This admonition was handed to a group of Portland railroad and steam ship men at the regular luncheon at the Multnomah Hotel yesterday by C. M. Clark, of Philadelphia, chairman of the board of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company. "All elements .of present day gov ernment and present day regulation of the railroads," said Mr. Clark, "add greatly to the expense of operation. The desire now is to divest the invest ors in railroad properties of their prof its by taxation. "Steamer Lines Affected, Too." "The steam roads and the Bteamship lines, like the public utility corpora tions, are up against this situation. "Doubtless the railroads themselves are responsible for this condition. Some of them went too far in following the policy, "the public be damned.' From that has come the present condition of arrested development. "To my mind there are a good many steam railroad systems in this country, which, unless the tendency changes among the State Legislatures, the Rail road Commissions and the authorities at Washington, will have a hard time within the next few years, not only in paying dividends but in meeting: their fixed charges." "Public Ownership Alternative.'' "It now is a case of self-preservation or Government ownership," he contin ued. "If the tendency toward limiting the return in railroad investments to a bare interest rate continues within the next five years as it has in the last five years, there is no salvation but public ownership." Under existing conditions capital is not encouraged to invest in new enter prises, especially in Oregon, he de 'clared. He pointed to the fact that in 1908 the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company paid $175,000 in taxes, while this year it is paying 1637,000. "Our taxes in proportion to the value of our property are higher than those of any other city that I know of," he . said. "But the small home owner is in the same fix. "Development at Standstill." "Public development is at a stand still today because of this burden." The railroad problems of the future, he admonished his hearers, must be solved by the young men of today. "How to present your case to the peo ple is your problem," he advised. Franklin T. Griffith, president of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company, was chairman of the day. Incidental to the regular programme, Mr. Griffith presented to W. A. Rob bins, president of the club, a gavel carved from the old oak tree that for many years stood on the south side of Ash street, about 50 feet west of First street. Other speakers were R. A. Leiter, attorney for the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company; A. C. Spen cer, general attorney for the O.-W. R. & X. Company: W.-P. Bartlett, chief dispatcher for the Oregon Water Pow er lines, and G. C. Fields, superintend ent of interurban transportation of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company. BOYS' WORK INSPECTED INTERNATIONAL OFFICER OF V. M. C. A. IN PORTLAND. Arthur N Cotton Pleased With Depart ment of V. M. C. A. Hlsrh School Youths' Efforts Explained. Arthur N. Cotton, a member of the international committee of the Young Men's Christian Association, was a vis itor yesterday at the Portland T. M. C. A. Mr. Cotton is inspecting the boys' work of the associations of the Pa cific Northwest and was much pleased with that department of the Portland association. His special work is with boys of high school age. "The United States Commissioner of Education recently said that the growth of the high schools, and especially of our public high schools in the last decade is probably the most notable thing in our school system," said Mr. Cotton. "Along with this remarkable advance has come an increasing conviction on the part of the older secondary boys themselves that they have an obliga tion to co-operate with their fellow students in seeking all that makes for the highest type of manhood. "Thousands of the maturer boys are enlisted in a campaign seeking the highest standards of character. That they may more efficiently accomplish this task, the high school organizations have united in a federation known as the High School Student Christian Movement By a unity of effort and a high and unselfish objective the boys of these organizations have coma to realize that they are a part of a con tinental and even world-wide move ment with similar ideals and purposes."

Mrs. Stone's husband is a miner and they have lived in the State of Wash ington for the past twenty-five years: "As a child in England 1 knew of no other remedies but herbal ones, and when I read the statements in the papers that j'our remedy was purely herbal I decided to try it.
