OREGON I I J No Benefits Whatever We have had not one of the mergerites tell us of the BENE FITS of going jnto Portland. Those who huve told their ex periences advise against it, strongly. The promises set forth by certain hired speakers make promises on a par with Heaven. Do you notice the Water Com pany isn't saying anything. They are not promising anything though you are led to believe their death knell is being tolled. The water question is merely n whip in the hands of an expert, and you people of St. Johns who are clamoring for merger are only making it an easy fight for one O. R. & N. right of way agent. Thought is not against the water company. They are secure for several years, and they know it. You who have houses to rent must conform with all building restrictions of Portland, and the renter will see that you do. You who have neighborhood troubles, can generally settle satisfactorily out of court. The police are friends and neighbors and have smoothed over many a conflict that would have had a court airing had wo had a stran ger policeman from Portland. If you build, there are various permits to take out, licensed plumbers and electricians to hire at union wages. As we are now, one can do his own plumbing, change the wiring any time he wishes, and no time spent mak ing a trip twenty miles for a permit. Pop corn wagons pay a license of $50 per month; street fakirs a license of $30 per month in Port land. To sell milk there will be licenses and inspectors, though the latter are generally needed in any community. You will have to get a permit to change your sink any distance a change of six inches even will require a trip of tWentj miles to get a per mit to do it, A license of $3 is required to distribute circulars all school, church, sociable and mercantile circulars corning under this henn. If you are in doubt about the I water question, call up some res ident of Portsmouth or other su burbs of Portand, and asMhem. Ask if they had n sufficient sun- ply'of water and could sprinkle any timo of day and every uuy. Ask them how they were bene fited by going into Portland. I hope there are enough in St Johns who are interested in her welfare, and have enough civic pride not to sell out for a mess of pottage. IC you don't like the council men, don't vote for them. Put others in their places. One coun cilman candidate now on the ticket stated publicly that he hoped to attend the funeral of St. Johns. Would Portland be proud of such a man--a man who would like to see his own little city dead and buried? Get in men who will FIGHT for your city, men who have cour age and business ability to stand up for their city and who will prove worthy to the end. Dr. Deveny stated on the street that taxation without rep resentation was better than un just taxation. Can he make you I swallow that? That is the one thing that caused the war of thet Revolution, and now that the women have the right tor vote, can he make you believe that taxation without representation, the war cry of the suffragettes, is better than unjust taxation? Unjust taxation, if it exists, can be remedied through representa tion; otherwise it is tyranny. Go to the polls April 5th and instead of voting for a Greater Portland, vote for a Greater and a Better St. Johns, and then work to better every condition of our city, Mrs. J. A. Hyde. SAN-TOX.

Mr. and Mrs. John Wright of ban Diego, (Jul., are guests at the home of Geo. A. Wright. Why does D. C. Lewis refuse to debate the merger question with Howard 0. Rogers? Is ho afraid that the truth might leak out Don't be a Jonah. You know Jonah merged with a whale, and he didn't like it any better than you will lw.e merging with Port land after you have had a taste of it. Remember Monday is Cleanun Day. so get your last winter's accumulations of garbage depos ited along your curb so that it may be removed at the city's expense. Lf you want St. Johns to be come the home of the bootlegger after prohibition is ushered in, vote to merge. One policeman or two would prove unavailing to keep them suppressed. Portland certainly has no fac tories to give us after mercrer. since a well informed Portland man told us yesterday that at least one half of Portland's in dustrial plants are now shut down or working on a verysmnll scale. FOR SALE. I will sell on easy terms nt a bargain my half acre of choice garden land with small house in St. Johns only two blocks front cur line. Would accept a modern five passenger auto as part payment. What have you to olfor? For navicu lars, see Dr. Gilstrap. Remember merging does not change the name, because your postofficc address is. now St. Johns, Portland, Oregon. It would be no different after mer ging. If, as some few aver, that they do not like to rog stor from St. Johns when abroad, you need not, because Portland is your postoffice address. The regular Mothers' meetinir of the W. C. T. U. will be held at tho home of Mrs. J. C. Scott, Gil West Leavitt street, Monday, April 5th. at 2:30. After the program a 10c tea will be serv ed. Wo would like to have a large attendance. Come and get acquainted with our members and investigate our work. Secretary. Don't fail to note that those letters of the mergerites so often quoted and circulated do not give an authoritive agreement to do anything. Mayor Albec has re peatedly stated that he cannot see why tho suburbs want to join rortlnnd: that they can conduct their affairs better, and that if he lived in a suburb he would be the hardest fighter of them all against merging. If you want St. Johns to be come the home of the dissolute woman, vote for menrcr. The police now prevent houses of ill fame from locating in St. Johns and is the only city of its size in the United States without one. One no ce or two cou dn't keep them out, and -it seems to be the policy ot Portland to scat-1 ter them from the heart of the city. Don't merge; keep the city clenn.

The charter amendments pro viding for holding elections every two years should be given serious consideration. There is considerable objection to holding elections every year, and this amendment, if it carries, will do away with annual elections.

We shall be glud when it is over. a wage of three dollars per day on street work of that city, ac cording to yesterday's Oregon! an. He says there is a question as to the legality of enforcing such a measure, and fears the city may be responsible for pay ment of the difference between three dollars per day and the prico that laboreres can now bo secured for.

The fnl- muture and careful considera- incy 0f this argument Is shown nun. by Assessor Henry E.

In reply to our query, C. B. Hurtt, Manager of the Investment department of Hartmnn, Thompson & Powers, states: "There in nothing in the report that wo havo refused to loan money on St. Johns real ' estate because it is situated in St. Johns. part of Portland, and to whatev er extent its values are influenc ed by proximity to Portland, that elFecl is shown in values as at present assessed. The mere act of consolidation would not justify any general increase in assessed values in St. Johns."
