LARGE PROFITS OF
BILLBOARD TRUST
Big Fortunes Made by Foster
& Kleiser, Says Would
Be Competitor.
SMALL RIVALS CRUSHED
Jllgh Hcenpe Used to Keep Others
From Interfering AVith Monopoly
on Defacing the Landscape.
License I, aw ..Unjust.
That the billboard nuisance In Port
land Is monopolized by a grasping
trust, -which uses a high license to
crush rivals and keep Its hold Is the
assertion of J. J. Curran, who Is fight
ing the monopoly of Foster & Kleiser,
and declares that although he has a
hard light on his hands, ha will win
out In the end.
"Foster & Kleiser have grown rich
out of the business," declared Curran
yesterday. "Four or five years ago
they employed less than half a dozen
men, and were ns poor as church mice.
Now they employ some 70 men and
have automobiles for every change in
the weather. Kleiser runs automo
biles In Portland, and Foster In Seat
tle, and they collect graft In Portland,
Seattle, Hellingham, Tacoma and Spo
kane, This city Hhould tax billboards
according to space; this would bring
Jn more revenue to the city and would
be fair to big and little billposters.
Such also is the suggestion of T. O.
Greene, of the executive board, who has
declared the present method unjust to
the public and to the billposters. Foster
& Kleiser's billboard trust is thus named
on account of its connection with the
Billposters' Association of America and
Its monopoly in the Pacific Northwest.
The annual license in this city is $4o0.
payable in advance, and until last month
when Curran broke Into the field. Foster
At Kleiser had things all to themselves.
Curran says they have harassed him,
painted over his billboard signs, misrep
resented him before the public and at
tempted by unfair methods to drive him
out of business. He has retaliated with
a suit for JiOOO for defamation of char
acter and for damages to his billboards.
Big Profits In the Business.
Big profits have been made out of the
billboard monopoly In Portland in the
last three or four years. Flaring bill
boards have been planted everywhere In
the city, marring the beauties of their
iturroundlngs. The boards take away
from the attractiveness of many a place
on which money has been spent for
lawns, well-kept houses and buildings,
costly application of paint and improved
streets and sidewalks. From this nuis
ance, the city has been collecting only
J400 a year and now collects $S00. But the
big bill poster pays no more to the city
than the little one.
"Why should I," asked Curran, "wfto
have nothing, pay as much license as
Foster & Kleiser who have everything?"
Mr. Greene holds that the revenue to
the city could be greatly Increased and
Curran declares it cou'.d be enlarged to
$2000 a year, should the city tax the
boards according to space used. By that
method, land owners could put up their
own billboards and advertisers could put
up their own boards, and pay license
therefor into the city. Instead of. as now,
paying tribute to Foster & Kleiser or
Curran. All persons who now wish to
advertise on billboards must pay this
tribute to Foster & Kleiser or Curran, or
take out a $400 license of their own,
which of course is unprofitable.
Billposters do several kinds of work;
billpostlng proper, or the posting of pa
per sheets, such as for theaters; bulletin
painting, done on billboards with paint
end brush; wall advertising, on the backs
and sides of buildings; distributing circu
lars and pamphlets and tacking placards.
Charges for Bill Posting.
For billpostlng an average rate Is 14
cents per sheet, per month, four sheets
high on the board. For this work the
man who does the actual posting is paid
seven-eighths cent for each sheet, and
can average 600 sheets a day, or nearly
$4.60. For bulletin painting the charge
to advertisers is an average of some 22
cents a month a running foot, the board
being 10 feet high. Painters get $4 and
J5 a day and a good man can paint two
20-foot boards a day. which in a year
will yield a revenue of $55 and the sec
ond year will pay all profit. Curran said
that he Is working on some boards which
will pay J620 the first year and cost JiSO
to build and paint, thus making a profit
of 0 per cent the first year and 100 per
cent the second year. For wall painting,
the price to advertisers is 6 and 6ia cents
a square foot per year. As a painter,
paid J4 or Jf! a day, can paint 1000 feet a
day, there is evidently a big profit in
this part of the business also.
"Net profits," said Curran, "range from
60 to 200 per cent, and while a few boards
may show little profit, they are rare. In
Portland are a least six miles of bill
boards. If taxed at so much per foot,
the city would derive a handsome revenue
and little hillpcsters would have a show.
The present system Is like that of mak
ing a two-story building pay as much
taxes as the Wells-Fargo building."
Curran cites many Instances of his wall
Figns and bulletin boards being "painted
out" by Foster & Kleiser, though they
had no right to do so. He had secured
permits from the owners of the property,
but Foster & Kleiser would go to the
tenants or property-owners afterward
and secure a permit for themselves. Cur
ran says he could have sued the tenants
or property-owners for breach of con
tract, but was deterred from doing so
by the Interests of his advertisers, who
did not wish to be involved in contro
versy. He asserts that Foster & Kleiser
continually attempt to take away his
advertisers by telling them that they are
wasting their money, because Curran
can't stay In the business, and the signs
will be lost.
BOY BURGLAR IS SHOT
n and Market street, was burglar
ized. The booty consisted of four
heavy 30-39 Winchester rifles, 10 boxes
of cartridges and a case of razors
all the youthful burglars could carry.
The two boys climbed Into the milk
wagon and drove homeward with their
plunder. When they reached the out
lying districts, Pallassou suggested
that they try one of the stolen rifles.
Accordingly they filled the magazine
with shells, but In their eagerness for
a shot they forgot to lower the ham
mer as they threw back the lever.
August Schwarts was to fire first. He
climbed out of the wagon, dropped the
rifle to the ground and started to tise
It as a support while he dismounted.
Suddenly there was a sharp report and
Schwartz fell face forward- and the
frightened horses began to run.
Pallassou stopped the horses 'and
hurried back to the wounded boy. He
summoned help and Schwartz was car
ried to his home a short distance away.
Pallassou hastened away to hide the
stolen weapons..
Meanwhile Manager E. J. Kaplan, of
the Imperial Arms Company, had re
ported to the police the looting of his
store. Detectives were assigned to the
case, but just before they left the re
port came in that a boy had been
wounded on the San Bruno road. Con
necting the two episodes, they started
for Schwartz' home.
The officers have been able to establish
that the two boys have been committing
a series of crimes, and the detectives be
lieve that they are guilty of many recent
burglaries.

GREATEST NEWSPAPER WEST OF CHICAGO

A
Jf s X f -
V. F. DUNNE (DOOLEY)
Among other subjects, Mr. Dooley refers to
President Roosevelt and the Panama Canal, the
Maria Storer incident, the general prosperity of
the country and himself. It is wonderful how
Peter Dunne, who has been writing for eight
years, improves with each letter. His fund of
hnmor is inexhaustible.
For his satire next Sunday George Ade revises
the story of Robin Hood, showing that he was
rankest sort of a piker as compared with grafters
of the present day. He tells what the outlaw of
Sherwood forest would have done if he had lived
in the 20th century.
