THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN. PORTLAND, MARCH 1, 190S. S SIXTH STREET WILL BE ELABORATELY ILLUMINATED DURING THE ROSE FESTIVAL IS MADE PUBLIC Candidate for United States Senator Issues Address to Oregon Voters. FAVORS STATEMENT NO. 1 10 PLATFORM Declares Himself in Full Accord With Policies of President Roose velt Advocates Uws for the Protection of Labor. H. M. Oh Ice yesterday made public his platform and the declaration of prin ciples on which he will ask for the Republican nomination at the Hmarles on April 17 for United States Senator to succeed Senator Fulton. . Mr. Oake declares himself to be in accord with the polV-ics of President Rosevelt, in dorsed the direct primary law and Statement No. 1, declares for tariff re vision, oppuses a further extension of Federal power over the various states, favors enlarffinjc the powers of the In terstate Commerce Commission for a more effective regulation of the rail road corporations, declares for postal savings banks, advocates a vigorous policy looking to the reclamation of arid lands, and urges the early comple tion of -the Panama Canal,, Mr. Cake would also work for legis lation in the interests of labor. Me would have the employers liability aet passed, would limit the use of the in junction power and would support strinprent Immigration laws for the ex clusion of coolie labor." Mr. Cake's platform is as follows: To the Republican Voters and people of the State of Oregon: I am a candidate for the Republican nom ination at th primaries on April 17. for the office of United States Senator, for the term beginning March . 1009. Realizing that it is a duty i ow to the people to make known my position on public question. I respect fully submit the following platform, pledg ing myself to abide by Us terms in the event of my election: Principle of Republican Party Upheld. parties must be preserved, for only through their medium can constitutional government be carried on. party fealty Is necettary, and should be shown In uphold ing party principles, promoting good govern ment, purity In publlo offlr-e, and harmony In party efforts; un nettled allegiance, discord and factional differences should be con demned. Control of the National affairs of this country by the Republican party will in the future, as in the past. Insure general pros perity and- great economic and commercial development. I am in most hearty accord with the policies of President Roosevelt. Development of Oregon. At no time In the history of this state has there been so urgent a need of the atten tion and vigorous effort of a loyal citizen ship In the promotion of its Interests. As a state, we are upon the threshold of a great growth, of an era of expansion along com mercial and industrial lines -without prece dent in the annals of state building. Much that Is to be done In advancing the Interests of our commonwealth must come from the Federal Government, among the most important of which are the reclama tion of the arid lands within tha state, the Improvement of our waterways, the protec tion of our forests, and the proper regula tion and control of transportation facilities. Our representatives in Congress, charged with the responsibility of these great inter ests, should be untiring in their efforts to ecure adequate appropriations and proper legislation Insuring he rapid and continuous growth of the state. Primary Law. The Oregon primary law should be main tained. The nomination of candidates for offfee by the people Instead of through con ventions tends to do away with the evils of machine politics and the controlling influ ence of special interests, to purify and en hance the efficiency of public service by making all officials responsible for the ad ministration of their offices directly to the people. .Statement No. 1. I Indorse Statement No. 1 because ex perience has shown the old method of elec tion f United States Senators to be un aatisfactory. Vnder such method, for more than 40 years, such Influences have affected the election of United States Senators In Oregon that but few have been chosen until the last moments of the legislative sessions. The deals and deadlocks (saying nothing f corruption incident to the election of Sena tors in Oregon have absorbed the time and attention of state Legislatures to the dis grace of the state, the detriment of the peo ple and the neglect of needed legislation. I further indorse Statement No. 1 for the reason thnt I am In favor of the election of I'ntted States Senators by direct vote of the people, and favor an amendment to the Constitution of the United States providing for same. In the absence of such an amend ment Statement No. I accomplishes the same result by obligating the members of the Legislature to elect the choice of the people as evidenced by the vote at the June election. Tariff Legihlutioa. This Nation is committed to the protective tariff. its abandonment would result In in dustrial disaster. The tariff laws, however, must he adjusted to meet changed com mercial and econonmlcal conditions of the times. Orcat combinations of capital have aMfled competition to such an extent that the existing tariff, in many Instances, levies contributions on the people generally for the benefit of a few manufacturers and In creases tho prof! of industrial monopolies, without auswerinj any purpose of protec- . tien. In the revision of the tariff law the de mand for which Is imperative, we should oek reciprocal trade relations with other countries to a greater extent than under the present law, the tariff in such instances, while providing' a minimum rate for pro tection and revenue, to he regulated by a commission or otherwise, to meet corre sponding concessions from other countries. lnrre of Federal Power. T do not believe In limiting the authority a n? control of the states over their lndf vdual Interests and affair by further dele gation of power to the Federal Government. The National Go ernment now has ampi power over all matters of common interest to the tat!. Including the sole and exclu sl e riant to regulate Interstate commerce snd r-roxide ftr the formation, regulation and control of transportation companies and corporations doing an interstate bufi nss. without infringing upon the . preroga t1es che 'state's to control Intrastate rommerve. It is not an "tension of Federal suthorlty that. is. rwird.- but Increased activity on the part of the Federal Gov ernment In the eX'TCle of sowers already dlecated. Railroad Regulation. Railroads dnrng intersTate busings? should subject to regulation by the Fedeial Government Jo project, the people against unreasonable rates and rebates, and the powers of t Interstate ommTc Com mission should he enlarged to accomplish this end. rnt?t of public land should tv forfeited where th conditions of the same hae not been complied with. 1 am not un friendly to corporations in the exercise of thlr Just and reasonable rights, but I am opposed to allowing theno to oppress the people. Bunking I .aw. I favor the establishment by the Federal Government of postal savings banks through 4'Ut the country, the Increase of reserves in National banks, and changes In our bank ing yi tern insuring stability and mainten ance of public confidence. Vigorous Reclamation Policy. The reclamation of arid lands Is one of the most important needs of Oregon and a condition upon which the full develop ment of our state largely depends. I favor a vigorous policy on the part of the Federal Oovernment in m projecunon or mi or, and advocate a more uigent application of l - THE PAVILION OP Ml'SIC It--'" -H j, ;a An elaborate system of decoration and illumination of Sixth street during the Rose Festival next June has been adopted by the associatic n. The plan provides for the beautifying of Sixth street, from Ankeny to Yamhill and wilt be the most pretentious undertaking- of its kind ever taken up in Portland. This en tire section of the thoroughfare will be brilliantly illuminated by Innumerable electric lights attached to decorative pillars on each side of the etreet at frequent intervals. The main feature of the treatment will be a handsome pavilion at Sixth and Washington streets. This pavilion, which is shown in the accompanying illustration, will have archways spanning both Sixth and Washington streets and will be the-, center of the street festivities of the Rose celebration. The pavilion will be made of staff and will, of course, be only a temporary structure. It is designed for the accommodation of a band, which will play during the parades and at other times during the festival. The entire outline of the pavilion will be studded with electric lights. The entire treatment of Sixth street was designed by the firm of MacNaughton, Raymond & Lawrence, architects. At the request of the Rose Festival Association, a competition was held among the members of the Portland Architectural Club. From the drawings submitted in this contest the ones shown in the illus tration were selected. Oregon's share of the irrigation fund to the actual' development of Irrigation pro jects, than has characterised - reclamation work in this state heretofore. Forest Reserves. I favor forest reserves, but believe that great care should be used In their estab lishment, and that the regulations govern ing their management should be changed so as to Insure a more equitable distribu tion of grazing and other privileges con nected with the same. Would Abolish Trusts. Combinations of capital organized for the purpose of monopolizing the public utilities and necessities to the exclusion of independent competition, are a menace to the liberties of the people and contrary to every principle of public policy, and. if al lowed to continue their system of absorp tion, will in time control the industries of the country.- Corporations coming within the trust class should be dissolved and Individuals wilfully guilty of a violation of the law vigorously punished -Tor their offenses. 1 am in favor of the enactment and rigid enforcement of Federal and state anti-trust laws, and indorse most heartily the ef forts and policies of President Roosai'elt along thest lines. Harbors and Inland Waterways. The improvement of the harbors and deep ening of the Inland waterways of the State of Oregon is a necessary condition to Its greatest development and commercial pros perity, and a matter of paramount impor tance to the people of this state. The main transportation lines parallel the Willamette. Columbia and Snake rivers, and the Improvement of then waterways will tend at once to relieve congestion in traffic and regulate the rates of transportation com panies, thus Increasing the price of our pro ducts and adding to the wealth of our peo ple. The policy of the Government should be a more liberal one in the matter of appropria tions, and the improvements should be made under continuing contract, avoiding waste and delay. No effort should be spared on the part of our delegation in Congress to secure all ad ditional appropriations necessary to complete the improvements at the mouth of the Co lumbia River, the deepening of the maibors of Coos. Yaqulna and Tillamook bays, an-d the Coqullle River, the opening of The Dallos Olllo Canal, the dredging of the Willamette River, and the deepening of the ship canal between Portland and the mouth of tho Co lumbia, The Government should own the lorks at Oregon City. The development and growing commerce of the Willamette Valley de mands that the tolls levied through private owrershlp and the embargo upon traffic re mitting therefrom, should be removed. Aio of Veterans. I believe the policy of the Government hmtld be a liberal one in aiding those de serving veterans who risked life, limb and property for their country In times of war and National danger, and while I am opposed to the abuse of the pension system. 1 recog nize the rights of the deserving veterans of the Civil and rpanUh wars to liberal aid and compensation from the tiovernment for In juries received in defence of their country. Rights of 1-nbor. I favor such legislation by the Federal Gov ernment m shall secure and protect the Amer ican worktngman In bis rights, for upon the welfare of this clase of our cititenshtp de pends largely the stability of the Republic The right to organize for protection against the encroachment of capital is an inhf rent one which no Jut Government will deny. I believe an employers" liability law should be enacted by the Con grr ss of the I'nited State, and piovlsion made for proper com pensation to employes injured in the Gov ernment service. I would prohibit the use or the process of Injunction without a hearing- except in ex treme cases involving- life or Injury to person or property. I am In perfect accord with the policy of reducing the hours of labor of the Ameri can wage-earner, and prohibiting the em ployment of children of tender age and Im mature years in clasees of labor that retard the development of mind and body. -lmmlgratiosi and Exclusion. Stringent immigration laws should be en acted preventing the admission into thi coun- j try of the undesirable classes of people of THE COLONNADE TO BE ERECTED ON SIXTH. alt nations, who either will not or cannot assimilate and make good citizens. I am opposed to the admission of Chinese and Japanese coolie labor in competition with our intelligent and Independent workingmen. America fur Americans. Panama Canal. The growing commerce of the Pacific Coast and the Importance of our International and trade relations with the Orient demand the early completion of the Panama Canal. The people of this country will be immeasureably benefited through the reduction and ' the regulation of transcontinental railroad rates resulting from the opening of this waterway, an well as the means of National defense in creased by facilitating the movements of the American Navy. I am heartily In favor of ample appropria tions by the United State Government to in sure the completion of the Panama Canal with all possible dispatch. INOCULATE THE SQUIRRELS Scheme to Spread Deadly Bacilli Among Palouse Farm Pesls. WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE. Pullman. Feb. 29. fSpeeial.) Work has again started in the bacteriological de partment of the college for the extermi nation of the ground squirrel, the work being in charge of Dr. W. B. Ralston. The experiment is along the same line as that pursued about nine years, ago, when the experiment station faculty suc ceeded in producing a virus strong enough to spread the disease throughout the squirrel infested districts of the Eastern Washington wheat-raising country. Three years ago complaints of depradations- by this pest again began coming In and caused the department to renew its labors in the direction of producing more bacillus. Last year, in co-operation with the United States Government the experi mentation was not entirely successful, being due in a great measure to the fact that the virulence of the bacillus was not sufficient to be transmitted from one rodent to another. This year a strong effort will be made to increase the virulence to such a point that inoculation of captive squirrrls wiil have the desired effect upon those in the field. FINE OLD JWANSION SOLD Captain Kerr Homestead Bought by Dr. Williamson. The Captain Kerr homestead at Waver lelgn was sold yesterday by Sharkey Co. to Dr. W. T. Williamson for J25.X This fine old place was built about 25 years ago. W. H. Benvie. now Deputy Building Inspector, being the contractor. The opinion was expressed by Mr. Ben vie that the mansion would today cost J.10.W0 to build, and as there are about 0 lots in the tract going with the pur chase, dealers regard the sale as quite a bargain at the price paid. The house stands on an elevation of lfi5 feet and the view from its windows is said to be one of the most attractive in the vicinity of Portland. Down the Peninsula to the confluence of the Wil lamette and Columbia. the exposition grounds, up the river almost to Oregon City and. of course, the snowcapped mountains, are to be seen on clear days. The house is of the very best construc tion and is heated with hot water, and at the time of its erection was considered by builders to be ahead of the times. Deaf Man Killed by Train. TACOMA. Feb. 29. A farmer named Llndergreen, living near Dieringer 15 miles from Tacoma. was struck by a westbound passenger train on the Northern Pacific about 10 o'clock today. His skull was fractured. He died at the hospital In Tacoma two hours later. He was bard of hearing. . STREET. GOLD NUGGET FLOAT Yukon Miners to Participate in Rose Festival. WILL STRIVE FOR PRIZE Portland Man Who Has Large In terests Near Dawson Makes An nouncement in Behalf of That City. A gigantic nugget of gold from the Yukon, with a background of electrical effects, portraying the Aurora Borealis, is the design for an elaborate float which the City of Dawson Intends to enter in competition for the main prizes for the All-Northwestern street parade of the Portland Rose Festival. The announce ment that the Yukon had any thought of participating came as a pleasant sur prise yesterday, when Gustave E. Burke, a Portland man, who has reaped rich re wards from his mining operations in the North, and B. B. Volkman. a Dawson capitalist, called at the headquarters of the Kose Festival, and said that they were ready to guarantee the money neces sary for the beautiful set-piece in one of the big pageants. The plan as outlined by the Dawson men is to have the owners of the many mines In the Dawson district each con tribute a centain percentage of the clean up of the past season jid turn it over to a general committee, this committee to have full charge of arranging for the float. The Dalles has asked for Information as to what other cities and towns of Ore gon are preparing to do in the way of participation in the festival, and assur ance has been received that the business interests of that community will raise a fund large enough to enter a fine float in the competitive parade open to the cities nd towns of Oregon outside of Portland. Mrs. F. Bggert. president of th Women's Club, desires a. correction made in the report of the meeting of Friday afternoon, which was published In yes terday's Oregonian. Mrs. Eggert says that the vote on the question of the po sition of the School Board with " reference to the school children's parade during festival week was 34 to in favor of sus taining the Foard, Instead of the same vote in opposition to the Board. It appears that the-confusion as to the meaning of the vote came about through a misunderstanding as to the form in which the question was put. The Women's dub. according to President Bggert, is heartily in sympathy with the Board of Education and against letting the school children take any part in the Rose Festival parades. PRINCIPALS OPPOSE PARADE Head of City Schools Vote Against Rose Festival Plan. Opposition of the members of the Board of Education and principals of the various schools to a parade of pupils during the Rose Carnival In June seems to be so strong that this feature will have to be T""''. JK-- .'ajga . f-i Lr' 1 26 PIANOLA PIANOS On the Battleship Squadron ADMIRAL EVANS'S great fleet, now on its way to the Pacific Coast, carries twenty-six Pianola Pianos. They were purchased from the Aeolian Company with funds raised by the men and officers for amusement purposes. The committees appointed from the various ships to select Piano-players , contained men who were specially chosen because they werc-experts in the fine points of mechanical construction. The notable unanimity with which these various committees selected the PIANOLA PIANO from among its many imitators, is equally a tribute to the instrument itself and to the good judgment of the men who consti tute the American Naw. The Genuine Pianola and Pianola Piano Exclusively Sold by eliminated. At a meeting of principals, held yesterday morning in Ladd school. after general discussion of the matter, the vote stood 35 to 2 against the parade. Final decision on the matter is with the Board of Education, which will prob ably act on the subject at its next regular meeting, which will be held Monday. March 9. at 4:30 P. M. It is thought to be virtually settled that the members - of the Board will not allow the school chil dren to parade. At the last session of the Board, a majority of the members ap peared to be unfavorable to the parade, and a committee Mrs. L.. V. Sitton and City Superintendent Rigler was named to investigate and report. Superintendent Rigler and Mrs. Sitton are unfavorable to the parade of school children, and, it is thought, will recom mend against it. At the session of the principals, yes terday morning, there was lengthy dis cussion of the parade, and every point for and against was reviewed. When the vote was cast, it showed an overwhelm ing majority opposed to the parade. By some it is thought this ballot merely re flected the sentiment of the Board of Education, which was well known to all the principals. Objections to the parade of school chil dren are that the necessary drilling must be done on time which must -be deducted from study hours; that the parade comes at a time when final preparations for ex aminations are on; that the majority of parents are opposed to the parade; that the parade would be Injurious to the health of the children and that it is altogether too great a task to be under taken, in the circumstances. City Superintendent Rigler eays that he believes the parade would not be for the best interests of the schools, when every thing is taken into consideration. He thinks the schools are not proper sub jects for spectacular use. PERSONALMENTION. J. C. Hayter. an attorney from Dallas, is at the Portland. S. A.
