T L PERKINS MAKES HIS ANNOUNCEMENT FOR CANDI DATE FOR CITY COMMISSIONER UNAVOIDABLY DELAYED The Mt. Scott Herald is una voidably delayed a few hours this week on account of "ma chine trouble." The Herald’s publisher had not truly realized the importance of this newspaper to the community until he Ve gan to answer the numerous in quiries by phone and personal calls "Why didn’t I get my paper this week?" If some of our merchants could be made to realize this condition and attest more faith in the mutual iienefit to be derived by investment in these columns thus enabling the publisher to print a bigger and better newspaper it would prove of untold advantage to all concerned. THE LATCHSTRING IS OUT In making my aunoumeuieut :u a candidate for City Commissioner at the coming election to bo held on November 2, 1920, 1 feel that it D incumbered upon me to review my past record as a public official, which 1 believe the public shoiil.l be familiar with at this time. Having served in the thirteenth aud fifteenth sessions of the Oregon State Legislature as State Senator from this district, I was chairman of the ways and means committee of the thirteenth session and assisted in putting over the first Good Roads law; the County Bonding Act, which gave us the Co lumbia Highway; the Enabling Act, that put the Interstate Bridge across the Columbia River; the Compensation Act; the Widows’ Pension Act; anil assisted in creating the commission which regulated the working hours of women; the Tenure of Office of Teachers Act: and ill the fifteenth scs sion I was chairman of assessment and taxation, in which session I as sisted in passing the present tax law, with the divided payments. In 1918, I was elected to the office of City Commissioner, to fill the mi expired term of Mayor Baker and dur ing which term I served as Uoiami» sioner of Finance. During my service with the city I was instrumental iu systematizing the affairs iu each bu reau and placing competent men in charge; this resulted iu saving quite a considerable sum of money to the lax payers. 1 believe that the charter shoubl be amended a" the city has outgrown it, ami it has passed its usefulness, so far as it pertains to the financial affairs. One of the greatest problems which the City Commission will be i-alle<l upon to assist in solving in the immr iliate future, is that of tourist travel. There should be established in Port land a high-class information bureau where information of »11 kinds can be obtained by the tourist. We should also have a suitable parking nnd camp ing sites where the motorists can hnve wood, water, lights and comfort »tn tions. With this innovation nnd which is at the present time nbso lutely necessary — Portland could be made the greatest tourist terminal on the Pacific Coast, and would be one of Portland’s best assets. I have been a resident of Portland for 30 years, a taxpayer, a stock holder in one of the city’s growing industries, and have practiced my pro fession for the last 20 years. If I am elected, I will conduct the office on strictly business lines — i economy and efficiency and courteous I treatment to everyone at all times. T. L. PERKTN8. TRUCK! TRUCK!
