SI
MAYOR
OUT FOR GOVERNOR
WILL ENTER RACE FOR 1914
REPUBLICAN NOMINATION.
WILL MAKE STATE CANVASS
And Hopes to Land Nomination in
Republican Primaries.
Mayor Grant B. Dimick of this
city is a candidate for the Repub
, lican nomination for governor of
Oregon.
And the people of Oregon will
know that Mr. Dimick will be
some candidate before the pri
maries close in the spring of
1914, for Mr. Dimick is a man who
does things when he decides. He
is not of tho passive or receptive
type. What he wants he goes af
ter, goes after agressively.
Grant B. Dimick is a man who
does things. He can't sit still
and take things as they come. His
nature is aggressive. He is a
brainy man, a thinker, an execu
tor, practical, careful and pret
ty much of a bull dog to hang on
when once he has made up iiis
mind.
He is not announcing for
governor for the advertising it
will give him or the help it may be
to his law practice. He is a can
didate because he wants to be
governor and you can bet he has
no secondary objects in view. And
ho will be in the campaign all ov
er until the ballots make him or
count him out.
Mr. Dimick is a Republican and
probably always will be. He has
alwayq been an active worker for
t he party. Just what his platform
will be remains to bo seen, but it
is reasonably certain that one of
the planks will be a vigorous war
against single tax.
And Oregon City now has two
candidates for the highest office
in the state of Oregon. Both men
aro Republicans but stand wide
apart in points "of belief. But
both Mr. Dimick and U'Ren are
fighters and there will be . some
lively times in the spring and fall
of '14.
HARDLY JUSTIFICATION.
Mr. Tooze "Explanatlfcn" Is a lit
tle Late and Rather Weak.
Before the Live Wires Tuesday
Councilman Tooze' defended the
council against the criticism of
newspapers and others because of
not making public the findings of
the expert who was employed and
paid to make an investigation of
the financial condition of the city.
The Courier was one of the
critics, and it will now proceed to
At
do a little defending on its own
account.
Mr. Tooze should remember
that it was not this paper nor the
publio that made charges against
the council and its records, out it
was the mayor himself, and that
if was made in an open meeting
and through the newspapers. And
Mr. Tooze as openly declared that
he would introduce, a resolution
in the council calling for a state
ment of the condition of the city,
and that he would make it his bus
iness to see if the charges were
true. ;
And now it would rather seem
that it was the duty of Mr. Tooze
or the council to make as public
that investigation as the charges
wore made and the people will
not feel at all satisfied until it is
done.
Simply stating that a report
was made and tiled with the rec
order isn't saying much. What
the people now want to know, now
that council members started it,
is whether these charges were or
were not true, and that the same
publicity be given the matter now
as before the investigation was
made.
Telling the people to go to the
records and find out hardly satis
fys. If the council hadn't wanted
it shown up the council hadn't
ought to have started it.
THE USUAL ADVICE.
"Get on the Majority Band Wagon
and Stay There." -.
W. S. U'Ren has made the an
nouncement that he will be a can
didate for governor at the next
election. He has failed to state
which political party, if. either,
ho will represent, but it is highly
probable that he will go it alone
as a party unto himself with sev
eral of his pet fads and fancies
as planks in his platform. Just as
a reminder we would suggest
that he leave out single tax if he
expects to be elected. Mr. U'Ren
is fully capable of being governor
and we might elect a worse man
in many ways, but if he expects
to be elected he should get on the
majority band wagon at once and
stay there. Gresham Outlook.
This kind of advice if follow
ed, would stop all progression
and reforms. It would have elect
ed Taft, would have prevented
women from voting, would have
left Oiegon in the hands of the
politicians as of old.
The women have been voted
down in Oregon seven times, be
cause the majority on the band
wagon hung together. Every re
form in the United States has
come through men getting off the
band wagon and wading through
defeat.- ' , ,, , . '
The Outlook's outlook is rather
narrow and it's advice weak.

SHALL I VOTE
FOR THE ELEVATOR
SOME THINGS FOR YOU VOTERS
TO THINK ABOUT.
THIS WILL BE LAST CHANCE
If It Does not Carry December 2,
it will Not Come up Again.
A week from next Monday the
voters of Oregon City will onoe
more pass on the matter of hav
ing a public elevator for the bluffs
And what are we going to do
about it? -
It would seem that the one
thing to do, in view of the future
of the city, would be to vote for
this improvement, and provide a
free elevator service for residence
part of the city.
Some people raise the objec
tion that the city is now spending
hundreds of thousands of dollars
in publio improvements, in the
way of street improvements, el
ectrict fire alarm system and in
other ways, and that the expenses
are coming too fast, but the Cour
ier doesn't believe this is the right
way to look at it. -
A member of a firm may object
to the way its directors are spend
ing money, but when the direct
ors can show - the . stockholders
trat every dollar expended is a
dividend-paying investment, then
the stockholders have another
think coming. '
! We have spent a heap of money
in making splondid : streets, Of
passages that were rock piles and
impassible, but tvhere : is the
property owner that has not or
will not find the improvements an
investment? t
; This matter of a publio elevat
or is nothing more nor less than
an improved road up the bluffs,
and this paper believes that it will
be an investment to" every man
who owns a home or has property
for sale or rent that it will add
more to the value of that property
than the amount of his assess
ment to pay for the elevator.
If you will ever stop to think it
over there are few transfers of
real -estate south of the Seventh
street stairway on the bluffs, and
if you will look into it you will
find that the most of these resi
dences are rented property, that
the residents do not , own their
homes. - '
A resident of Gladstone told the
Courier that Oregon City did more
for the growth or uiaastone wnen
down the elevator prop
osition some months ago than
I Gladstone could , possibly have
'Hnnft for itself. He said it sold
jmany lots for home builders in
that place soia mem w lauuueo
that would not build where they
would always have to climp stair
ways, like the cliff dwellers, to
their homes. '
And then thore is the n(atter of
future policy. This city is bound
to continue its growth because it
has something behind it to make
it grow, and it is bound to be one
of the big cities of Oregon.
And as it grows and some of
the big projects now under way
are put through, then will tho hill
section have to fight for its own,
for it is certain that a big effort is
going to be made to build up the
west side.
And we might just as well say
it as to think it, if the west side
should be laid out into a hand
some residence section, as it will
bo if projects go through, then it
is going to make any property
owner on tho hill go some to com
pete. Everything equal the hill
section is much more desirable as
a residence section, but with 250
stairs difference, the west side and
Gladstone look awful good. ,
Real estate dealers in this city
will tell you that tho recent vote
on. the public elevator stopped
pendng deals for homes ' on the
hill.
You say there are not any va
cant houses on the hill. Very
true, but remember that demand
not choice of location, does this.
If there were a hundred or two
houses ready for rent just
across the bridge on the west side
don't you beliovo there would be
some vacant residences on the
hill and that rent would be cheap
er. ?
This is a matter that is up to
you voters to determine, and we
will abide by the result, but think
it over pretty well, before you
turn it down.
There aro some interests in this
city that are hoping and praying
that you uu turn n uown. it is
the old crowd that has always
been afraid that a little business
n ight get a foothold up there, and
then there is the new crowd, the
west side development interests,
who are longing for you to turn
the matter down again.
And you want to consider that
if you vote it .down this time you
won't have a chance to try it
again in a hurry, for tho city will
not, continue to can tnese eieoi
ions for you. The elevator prop
osition will carry at the coming
election, or it will be a dead one
for years to come.
Better look at this matter from
the viewpoint of the future and as
building for a greater city.
You ladies are voters on this
question. The matter is as much
your to determine as for the men.
Talk it over with your husbands
and the family and then come out
and vote. If you are interested in
it and want the proposition to
carry, help it along. One lively,
interested woman can do more in
a day than a dozen men can in a
week.
OBSERVATIONS.
The Brotherhood Banquet Form
an Observer's Viewpoint.
The Congregational Brother
hood had a most enjoyable supper
in the church rooms on Wednes
day evening, November 20. By the
way, why should the officers ol
this brotherhood persist in calling
their delightful little supper a
banquet? It is infinitely better
than any banquet for there is a
homeyness about it, that the fin
est banquet in the land cuold not
offer. Men you know, sitting on
right and left of you, as well as in
front of you; musio you like, from
piano and orchestra, affording a
background that would make the
most bashful man act like the
most case hanlmed after-dinner
speaker, and above all else, the
"Good-will-to-all-men" face of
Doctor Ford, marred only, by the
passing regret that the pie was
not chicken, shining out over the
assembled diners; and Mr. Ed
wards, like a good host, welcom
ing guest and membdrs alike. Best
of all, some of the mqt delight
ful women of the community al
ways at your elbow to see that you
lack for nothing. What could a
man ask for more? :V.
The penalty of any good dinner
is that you have to listen to the
other fellow talk, but on this oc
casion there was no penalty, xet

happy introduction, oajj.-o
something that enabled every oth

Gomes Dr. Ford who won every
one by hi., clever combination or
fact and' fancy;, epigram and

these times of compromise and

least; and the fact he brought, out

To sum up, this Federation of
Churches is going to amount- to

they are going to sin men iueu

TELEPHONE RATES
ARE REDUCED
BUT THE PACIFIC CO. DID NOT
GRANT THE REDUCTION.
PUBLIO SERVICE BILL DID IT
You Voter8 did It November 6. Did
You Know you Did It?
November 5 the voters of Ore
gon passed the i Malarkey public
service bill, on a referendum or
dered by petition of the people,
vesting the Railroad Comission
with jurisdiction over every pub
lic service commission in Oregon.
Perhaps a . lot of you didn't
just know al you voted for and
perhaps you did. Perhaps tho tel
ephone and other public service
companies did not know all the
provisions of the bill it would
seem not.
But now it appears that you
voters fixed thexates on lolo
phonos, telegraphs, electr.io lights
water rents, etc., with your own
little pencil marks. And it is said
tho Pacific Telephone Co. has
found it out.
For some time there has been
considerable kicking and discuss.,
ion over the raise and discrimin
ation of tho Pacific -Telephone
Go's rates in this city, and you
will perhaps remember the Cour
ier took n hand in the. game, and
succeeded in stirring up enough
public sfentiment that the city
council took hold of it and went
to investigating. " . :i -. .
A committee was appointed to
look into the mater and it reco
mmended that the old rates be es
stablished. But they were not. And
later on it was reported tnat an
other committee had boon ap
pointed to investigate, just now
lonir this would have continued is
a guess, but on election day there
was a change and the city coun
cil need not investigate any
limCer.' ; ., ' j '
Here s what you maae a law
November 5 :
"Section 25. Rate Schedules to
ho Filed: Maximum Charges.
Everv Dublic utility, shall file
with the Commission within a
lime to be fixed bv the Commiss
ion, schedules which shall be open
to public inspection, showing all
rates, tolls and cnarges wiuoii u
has established and which are in
force at the time for any service
in connection therewith or per
formed by it within the state, or
for . any servico in connection
therewith or performed by any
p blic utility Controlled or oper
ated by it. Tho rates, tolls and
charges shown on such schedules
shall not exceed the rates, tolls
and charges in force January, 1,
1911."
And hern's another niece:
Section 77. Rates of January 1,
1911, to Govern as Maximum Un
less Otherwise Ordered; Proceed
ines to ChanKe. F-xceDt as in
t h w .Act. nrovided. and unless the
Gommission shall otherwise order
it shall bo unlawful for any pun
lie utility within this state to ao
mand. collect or receive a great
er compensation ior any service
than the r charge fixed on uie
I. schedule of rates for the
same servico on the first day of
January, lau. twery puuuu uui
i v in his state snau. wiunn a
time to be fixed by the Commiss
inn. file in the office of the Com
mission, copies of all schedules of
rates and charges, including
joint rates, in force on the first
day oi January, iu, nu un
rates in force at any, tune subso
quent to said dale."
Now the rates tho Pacific lolo
nhone Co. oharged in . December
were 81.25 for phono.
How is the Bell, concern going
to get any more t
' Direct from - tho railroad com
mission in Portland we get the in
fnrmntinn that. THIS IS LAW.
If it is, and you go down to the
Telephone Co. and lay down your
M.25, how are they going to mane
you pay 1)1.75. .. t , .
if they uo. limn wnai is i
grand jury for in
rwninl V? .
And runner wo get it suaigui.
that the Pacific Co. nor-any other
company has no right to make two
charges, for tho same service, as
the l'acinc uo. nas Deen uiiiukihb
that they have no legal rigni to
discriminate.
And there you are, letiows. me
law says you shall pay what you
paid in January 1911 for youf
telephonos, and you are monkeys
if you pay any more.
The Pacific Telephone Co. ex
pects to advance all rates in this
city to a uniform January 1, so it
is said, that is they propose to
th that discrimination
by boosting tho lower rates to the
higher. That wouia put us mi uu
the level, you know tho highest
level.
But in face of the law the vot
ers passed November 5 it rather
lookM as if thero wouldn't be any
boosting done by the Bell lele-
r,h,in i'.n .lanunrv 1. The Only
way they can boost now is to get
behind the public servico commis
sion and induce them to permit
the boost.
LIVE WIRE DISCUSSIONS.
Some of the Things the Business
Men Talked or Tuesoay.
At tho Live Wire session Tues
rlflv the statement of Mr. Hackett
in a newspaper letter that Orogon
City was carrying a aeni oi ioii,
nnn umi rhnllinired hv some of the
members, they claiming that the
Mtatetiient was misleading to the
public, inasmuch as this sum in
cluded the water works plant and
street improvements under the
Bancroft act, have a value to tne
amount of the indebtedness and
should not be considered aa a li
ability. Mr. Tooze took up the matter of
the city having an expert to exam
ine the accounts of the city. Ho
said he was one of the councilmen
that asked for tho examination,
that same was made, and that a
motion was passed by the council
to have same (Hod with the city
recorder, which had been done,
and that he Jhought tho council
had done its part in this matter;
that the report was on tile in the
recorder's olllce, and that he con
sidered the criticism the council
had received was unjust.
a. l. McBain made a snort talk
in favor of carrying the vote at
tho coming election for the public
elevator. Ho said the hill section
was handicapped in its growth by
the stairwaays. and that with an
elevator this section would grow.
Ho urged the Live Wire memhers
to vote and work for it.
Mr. Tooze spoke of the big
street improvement work that had
bond done and was now under way
and defended the work as an as
set to the city, an asset that would
Day good luture dividends. Ho
said tho hardest and most expen
sive of the street work had been
done, and that the streets in view
would cost far less than those un
der way. ile said the council was
acting on their best judgment in
these matters; that the improved
streets made property more valu
able, brought under taxation and
made vatuahlo property that was
before worthless, built up the
city and provided more taxable
property for the support of the
city. Ho said that there were now
applications for the improvement
oi iourtn, Hign, inirtentn, jei
forson, Water, John Adams and
Kightenth streets, or parts of
them, and that ho believed that it
would be an investment for the
city to take these up as they could
and improve them. no pointed
out that these streets would not
be as expensive as the streets now
under improvement, and that High
street, it given a suriace improve
ment, instead of digging out the
rock under ground, could be made
a handsome street and that every
foot of it would be availablo for
residence lots.
Frank Busch offered a motion,
which was unanimously adopted,
that a vote of thanks bo accorded
tho city council for its stand for
a shipping yard in connection
with the P. R. L. & P. Company's
franchise. Mr. Busch says that
much shinning goes to Canny and
other places because we have no
facilities.
Dr. Pickins took up the matter
of hotter lighting lor tho suspen
sion bridge, and the matter will
bo taken up with the elcctrio com
pany. OF INTEREST TO VOTERS.

hvery lodge in the state, was rep

not have a good time while in this
city, it was no fault of the local
organization.
The laying of the corner stone
of the structure took place at two
o'clock by the Grand Lodge offi
cers find from this hour until five
o'clock, the massive doors of the
beautiful homo were thrown open
to the publicEvery room was filled

From 5:30 on until the closo of
the grand ball at Busch's hall, a
banquet was served in the armory
which had been attractively dec
orated with ferns, which were ar
ranged in largo clusters along the
wall, and American flags. Never
before in tho history of Oregon
City, was a more appetizing or a
larger banquet served than on
this occasion, and J. J. Tobin and
G. C. Fields are deserving of
much credit for the way tho big
feast was handled.

monies took place in the beautiful
lodge room, which was filled to
its capacity. An elegant musical
program was given, along with
the beautiful ritualistio service of

were festooned across tho hall
and caught in tho center by six
large American flags and a largo
flag of the lodge, all adorning a
large Elk's head. Fox's ocrhostra
