CITY ELECTION IS

BROWNELL AND COOKE ARE
WARM CONTENDERS FOR THE
OFFICE OF MAYOR.
TAX LEVIES UP TOR CONSIDERATION
One-Half Mill Levy For Library Pur
potes Is One of the Most Import
ant Utuet of the Municipal
Campaign.
Considerable Interest hn developed
In the coming municipal election,
w hich will bo held Monday, December
5 from 9 A. M. lo 7 P. M. There are
two candidates for the mayoralty,
lioorge C. llrownell and J. J. Cooko.
The former Is generally looked upon
n the strongest cnndlduto for (he po
sition. Hoswoll U Hoi man has been
requested (o beromo a candidate for
councilman In tho first ward, and ho
will probably accept. H. C. Slovens
la an aspirant for (his position. In
ward two Kdwnrd Shenhnn will not
bo n cnndlduto to succeed himself,
nnd It looks ns though F. C. rturk
would hnvo no opposition as Mr. She il
ium's successor for the three yonr
term. Heit Itmtke will Beck reelection
lo (lie two yenr term, and he will not
bo oppciHcd. It Is likely there will be
n contest In ward three, whero Frank
Uet.el Is a cnndlduto for reelection,
and Mr. Howell may also become a
candidate, having received the on
ilorHoment of tho Improvement club
of his section of tho city.
M. D. Lntourotto, who hns served
as treasurer for several years, will
hnvo no opposition for reelection.
An amendment to the charter, giv
ing tho council discretionary powers
to expend the money derived from
taxation In either the general fund
or tho permanent street Improvement
fund. 1'nder tho present system, (he
council Is empowered to levy a tax
of seven mills in the general fund
and three mills In the permanent
street Improvement fund, and the
money must not be diverted from one
fund lo the other. This Is not nn
olnBtlo arrnngonituit nnd as a result
the council hns found Its flnnnclnl
movements hnmiiered nnd Is prevent
ed from reducing Interest when funds
are available.
An ordlnnnee providing n tax levy
of one-half mill for tho support nnd
mtilntoniinco of the public library and
free rending room will also bo voted
upon nt tbo December election, and

JURY ACQUITS FIVE
OF KILLING AN ELK
CELEBRATED CASE REQUIRED
BUT THIRTY MINUTES
DELIBERATION.
John Sleret, George Sleret, Charles
Gedomko, George Ruegg and George
Ilurba wore tried before Judge Camp
bell In tho Circuit Court Tuesday on
charge of killing an elk. and aftor
thirty minutes of deliberation, tho
jury rendered a verdict of not guilty.
All of the men are residents of
Greshnm nnd Snndy, nnd the charge
for which they wero tried occurred
last January. There has been a great
deal of comment on the case ever
since that time, and considerable In
terest hns boon manifested all over
the western part of tho state. George
C. Brownoll defended the men, and
District Attorney E. B. Tongue ap
peared for the state.
Edwnrd Sleret, who was Indicted
with the others, entered a plea of
guilty and will be sentenced today.
Fire Destroy Barn.
Three small boys played with
matches In a bnrn at Twelfth and
Van Buren streets used by William
Knoop, Monday afternoon, and as a
result, the barn burned to the ground.
Two horses were rescued from their
stall, and a pet angora goat which was
In the stable, made its escape with a
badly burned face. A ton of hay and
a Bet of harness In the stable were
destroyed.
tho f.ict that Hood River had a dls
pluy of 680 boxes of one variety.
These, whllo carefully selected, were
not commercially packed.
This I the first time Clackamas
county has been represented at the
National Apple Show, and considering
ho limited time for preparing an ex
hibit, the Oregon City Commercial
Club Is to. bo congratulated on the
showing made through Its efforts.
Heall.Ing the immense value of the
exhibit In making known the resourc
es of Clackamas county and Interest
ing settlers In this section, -plans are
even now being discussed for prepar
ing a larger and bettor exhibit for the
next Apple Show. The newly organ
ized Oregon City Kruit and Produce
I nlon will undoubtedly assist In this
work by co-operating with the Com
morclal Club.
AWFUL LANDSLIDE
!0T mini
li
ALL OF THE EIGHT PROJECTS
SNOWED UNDER BY THE
STATE'S VOTERS.
COUNTY TAX AMENDMENT CARRIES
Poll Tax is Thereby Prohibited, and
Each County Regulates Its Own
Taxation Final Returns on
Other Measures.
Nine out of the 32 measures pro
posed by initiative and upon which
the referendum was ordered, have
been adopted. All of the others
failed to pass, among them the eight
county division propositions. . The
Clackamas-Multnomah measure lost
heavily, there being more votes cast
against It than on any of the other
county division schemes. The county
taxation amendment that appeared on
the ballot under the numbers 32G and
327 hns carried and Is one of the
three tax amendments submitted, the
other two having lost.
Tho county tax measure, as It Is
commonly known, was submitted
through the Initiative by the labor
organizations of tho State. It takes
from the Legislature all power to
pass laws regulating taxation or ex
emptions and gives that power solely
to the people, although the Leglsla
turo mny submit such laws for ap
proval or rejection at the polls. Each
county Is permitted to regulate tax
ation within Its borders as It sees fit.
The levying of poll tax is prohibited.
The bill is regarded as having beeu
designed as an entering wedge for
single tx measures. Under Us
provisions a county whose voters
were so disposed might adopt that
system, even though the measure
could not muster strength In the state
at large to bo made a state law.

that have been adopted and complete
