To the Editor, St. Helens Mist: At your miKg'Htiort 1 am making this reply to tho letter written by Mr. Chus. L. Wheeler, of St. Helens, in regard to the "Port of Columbia County" proposition. Mr. Wheeler nils-quoted me In ref erence to the "Ho.ereiulum and lie call," he evidently misunderstood my statement "it port once organized or incorporated could not bo disincor porated." This point was brought out by Slate Senator Jones from Lin coln county, when lie referred In his talk to the offoris to disincorporate one of the two sin ill ports to make one big one and stated that this coulu not be done, so e.ch of these ports took in one half of tho county and agreed to work together, etc. My understanding of the law K and this seems to he the opinion ot others who have taken the pains to look the law. up on the subject, that In voting for a "Tort of Colli in Id. County" we authorise the commission to levy up to ten mills and also to bond the county ut to 10 per cent of the assessed v-.tuatlon by that same vote. It such authority wheu voted can be "recalled." or tho act of bonding halted by "referendum' then It would seem to me that by such action we would bo repudiating debts, and the credit ot the port would bo worthless. As to laws rules and regulations that may ho profulgated by thn port commission, these ot course may bo attacked by "referendum", and the commission itself can bo "recalled hy the electors after they have served six months, however It tho commls 4I011 la. appointed by tho governor, or the house ot representatives, as for Instance In tho case of tho Port ot Cortland. I am not sure about thi "recall by the people, however per haps Mr. Wheeler rnn likely give u moro light on the subject. Tho "ret ireiidutu" and "recall" ure like "emetlo" and "cathartic" they re lieve the system of a bad condition for the time bvlng, but It 1s not a euro therefor It Is a good plan to have all the facts before we go Into inytliliig that will Increase our al ready large tax levy. Tho levy o, lust year Is still fresh In the nietn- ry ot tho taxpayers and the aem levy will likely be from 26 to 30 per cent higher. Mr. Wheeler should mnkn n frank statement showing the necessity for this port proposition. Tho reference 1 made In my ro ninrko to the Port of Astoria was for thn purpose of Illustration and not In -rlt lc Ism and further 1 have no ren n to douht Mr. Wheeler's statement thul Astoria got whrt she wanted. in As to the cheap arul lollvo In .
