16 THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND, OCTOBER 31, 1920 BIDE ACT URGED E OM OWNERS City Planning Commission Is sues Statement. INDUSTRY ZONE PROVIDED House Holders Said to Be Protect ed From Invasion by Factories and Manufacturers. The building zone ordinance, which the voters will pass upon at the elec tion Tuesday, was framed to protect the small home owner from invasion by industries and to provide indus trial zones where manufacturing may be carried on without interference with home owners, according to a statement issued by the city planning commission. The statement gives an explanation of the manner in which the ordinance will apply and the reasons for its need. The statement I.i part is as follows: "To the People of Portland: "The zoning ordinance, which is to be voted upon at the November elec tion (N'os. 500-1 on the ballot), de serves careful consideration by all citizens of Portland. Condition lenr Ako Same. "The same reasons which impelled the city council to appoint this com mission with instructions to draft the ordinance and which led them to pass the ordinance last March ap ply now. "Zone ordinances have been in op eration for some time in Tacoma, Oakland, Alameda, Berkeley, Los An geles, St. Louis. New York City and other progressive cities of the coun try. Seattle, Spokane, San Francisco and other cities are preparing zone ordinances. m "No city that has once tried zoning regulations has ever abandoned them, so far as we can find." This ordinance establishes as per manent business centers the large downtown and east side centers, and also practically all the small local store centers, about a half mile apart, through the outlying sections. SOOO Acres in Zones. More than 5000 acres of industrial zones are established, where new plants may invest in the future with out fear of protest on both sides of the river, through Sullivan's gulch and along the Columbia. Portland has today only 1015 acres covered by industries and about 250 acres more used by railroads, so this amply pro- vides for industrial expansion. All existing hotels, apartment houses and flats of Portland cover today only 250 blocks of the city. The zone ordinances establishes now 1250 blocks altogether for such build ings, besides permitting them in all of the 800 blocks additional set aside for business districts. These apart ment zones are located around the central core of the city, with con venient small apartment zones scat tered through the outlying districts. tU IV r Cent Buildings Homea. Portland's greatest asset is the fact that 86 per cent of all buildings in the city today are single family homes. The zone ordinance is care fully framed to protect the small home owner. The Building Trades council, property owners' meetings and representatives of leading insti tutions urge the passage of the ordi nance a- an encouragement to build ing. Realizing that Portland is a young and rapidly growing city, an easy method of amendment of zone boun daries is provided after consultation with the property owners involved. Ownfru Itealize Protection. From reports of property owners made to us in their neighborhood meetings, it Ls more than ever evident that the protection to be gained from the passage of such a zone ordinance will be very great. Measured In dollars and cents, we estimate roughly that it will prevent depreciation of rents, property values and taxable returns to the city, amounting to many hundreds of thou sands of dollars in the next five years. Measured In human health, comfort, convenience and safety gained, there is little favorable comparison possible for the present haphazard, uncertain and mixed-up conditions existing in certain parts of Portland and pos sible all over the city unless a zone ordinance is adopted. We recommend voting 500 X Yes. Respectiful'.y submitted, Portland City Planning Commission. J. O. AIXSWORTH, B. V. SLKliSIAX. K. B. MACNAL'GHTON. A. E. DOYLE, A. F. KLEOEL, V. P. LA ROCHE, O.

CITY VOTERS SHIRK DUTY 55 Per Cent Fail to Visit Polls at May Election. Importance of voting at the election Tuesday is emphasized by cards be ing distributed by the Association of Building Owners and Managers among their members. The card says that "at the May election out of 314,592 reg istered voters only 172,860 voted, or 55 per cent. Nearly every other voter failed to do his or her duty as Amer ican citizens and do their part in se lecting their representatives. The only danger to American institutions is in neglect of the conservative, peaceful citizen, to do his duty and vote. Do your part and urge those around you to do theirs."

Certainty of the election of Hard ing to the presidency and a message from the republican candidate bid ding the party in Oregon rally to the election of Robert N. Stanfield to the senate is the word that John Weaver, ex-chairman of the speakers' bureau of the Leonard Wood campaign, brings to Oregon on the eve of the nation al contest. Mr. Weaver is concluding a trip of investigation through the west and is also conversant with sen timent in the middle-west. "Senator Harding has no fear of his own election," said Mr. Weaver while here, "and his only worry Is whether a substantial republican ma jority will prevail in the senate. He says frankly that if the country does not elect a republican senate he does not want it to elect him. Senator Harding looks to Oregon to elect Robert N. Stanfield because the com plexion of the next Benate will prob ably depend upon Oregon. "In my tour of the west I find that Harding will safely carry all the states I have visited Montana, Idaho, Washington and Oregon. North and South Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas are all overwhelmingly republican. "I find, too, that the former lead ers of the Wood campaign are strong Harding supporters, knowing his ex cellent qualifications and addition ally realizing that General Wood is cofident of Senator Harding's abil ity and purpose to give consideration to all elements of that party. I know that it is the earnest desire of Gen eral Wood that all his friends sup port Senator Harding, and further the election of a republican senate." WAR DAYS ME RECALLED Rainbow Division Men of Two States Hold Reunion.

Marshall 2000 Mail Orders Given Special Attention Mabel McKinley-Niece of the Late President of the United States Takes Nuxated Iron for Health and Strength And Says She Regards It as the Ideal Tonic for All Weak, Run-Down Nervous Women Dr. George H. Baker, For merly Physician and Sur geon Monmouth Memorial Hospital of New Jersey, Ex plains Why Iron Is One of the GREATEST OF ALL STRENGTH BUILDERS Says: He has found nothing in his experience so effective for helping to make strong, healthy, red-blooded women as Nuxated Iron. Every woman who wishes to pos sess health, strength and beauty jhould carefully read the statement of Miss McKlnley who. after her personal use of Nuxated Iron tells Df the results she obtained. . Miss McKlnley says: While I had often heard of Nuxated Iron I must admit that prior to using It myself I had no Idea of its remark able value for building up the health ind strength. "Following the strain Imposed Dy months of the most exacting work singing for the soldiers In the various army cantonments, together with my social engagements and charitable pursuits. I found myself In such a weakened, run-down state that I feared a complete collapse. It seemed utterly impossible for me to drop everything and go away complete resi. uui for must either do this or find some thing that would actually rebuild my waning strensm v continue my activitif-s. "i Kri alwavs been prejudiced against tonic preparations which, for -the most part, I found only acted as a temporary stimulant and usually left one worse off than ever. However, when uiV own family physician insistently rommPidpd that I cive a fair trial to Nuxated Iron, I consented to begin its use. with a result tnat aner n?a w.oirnM and exhaustion from, which I suffered began to be replaced by a feeling of renewed strength ana vuaniy. in than three weeks time my whole system wns. tinelitig with energy ana power ana 1 was overjoyed to find that I was once more tn superb physical condition. "Nuxated iron nas accompusneu bu muuxi for me that I regard it as the ideal tonic for all weak, run-down women. As a strength, health and blood-buuaer, l am convinced Nuxated Iron has no equal.' In commenting on miss aicw-iniey s state ment, regarding the efficacy of Nuxated Iron. Dr. Ferdinand King. New York Physician and Medical Author, says: "It is Miss McKinley has a voice of unusual quality and it was following her work singing for the soldiers that she became weakened and run-down and had recourse to Nuxated Iron. Once more in superb physical condition, Miss McKinley says she is convinced that Nuxated Iron has no equal as a Strength, Health and Blood-Builder. my opinion that in practically nine times out of ten, unstrung nerves and failing strength and vitality are due to deficiency of iron in the blood. Many a woman who is run-down, nervous and who quickly tires out, suffers from Iron deficiency and does not know it. I am convinced that there are thousands of such women who,- simply by taking Nuxated Iron, might ' readily build up their red -blood corpuscles, in crease their physical energy and get them selves back to vibrant and vigorous health. By enriching the blood and increasing its oxygen carrying power, Nuxated Iron will often transform the flabby flesh, toneless tissues, and pallid checks of nervous, run down women into a glow of health, and make them look younger within a surpris ingly short time." Among other physicians asked for an opinion was Dr. George H. Baker, formerly Physician and Surgeon Monmouth Memorial Hospital, New Jersey, who says: "What women need to put roses In their cheeks and the springtime of life into their step is not cosmetics or stimulating drugs but plenty of rich, pure blooti. Without it no woman can do credit to herself or to her work. Iron is one of the greatest of all strength and blood-builders, and I have found nothing in my experience so effective for helping to make strong, healthy, red blooiied women as Nuxated Iron." Manufacturers' Note: Nuxated Iron which Is recommended above by physicians is not a secret remedy but one which is well known to druggists. Unlike the older Inor ganic iron products, it is easily assimilated, does not injure the teeth, make them black, nor upset the stomach. The manu facturers guarantee successful and entirely satisfactory results to every purchaser or they will refund your money. It is dis pensed in this city by all good druggists.
