THE MORNING OKEGONIAN, SATURDAY, MAY 18, 1007. 10 TO PUT ASIDE PARTY Democrats Hold First Big Rally of the Municipal Campaign. ARMORY HALL CROWDED Mayor Lane, John M. Gcarin and 31. Xj. Pipes Do' the Speech-Making. AsU Non-Partisan Indorsement for Head of Ticket. Before an audience that filled the upper hall at the Armory, the Democrats of Portland last night held their first big rally of the campaign for the re-electron ' of Mayor Harry LRne. It was a typical political meeting, with a brass band, flags end cheering, and bursts of applause greeting each mention of the Mayoralty candidate's name and each point made In (the three speeches of the night, which (were delivered by ex-Senator Gearln, Martin Pipes and Mayor Lane himself. In outlining the Issues before the voters the chief point that each speaker sought 'to bring out was that the election Is not ' to be decided on political grounds. It was ,crged and urged again that citizens unite i to support Dr. J Arte, regardless of party laffillation. The speakers could not have : ignored party lines more completely had tfr. Lane been running as an Independent ;and not as the head of the Democratic ticket. Laying party considerations aside, Sena 'tor Gearln and Mr. Pipes asked voters to stand by Mayor Lane on the record he has I made during his first term In office. They ' declared that In the coming election party Is not set against party, but that the alignment Is between the law-abiding citl sena and those who hope for an open town, with the corporations and special interests joined with the wicked element. From first to last" the statement was re Iterated that I-ane bases his hopes for lection upon his record, with the promise that his policies will be continued without change. Speakers Get an Ovation. vvhen the speakers, accompanied by Other leading Democrats, took their' seats on the - platform they were greeted with prolonged applause by the 1500 people present. Judge Thomss G. Halley presided, and was Introduced by Richard W. Montague.. OthPrs on the platform were George I. Smith,-Robert Andrews. T. J. Concan non, John B. Ryan, John Heitkemper, A. A. Kadderly. W. T. Vaughn. John A. Jeffrey, Tom Word. Alex Sweek. Dr. A. J. Gleay, R. I. Sahln. A. S. Patullo, John Grussl, Isaac Swett. Samuel Con nell. A. F. Flegel, G. W. Allen and Richard Wilson Mr. Gearln was introduced a "an Oregon product." and was greeted with loud applause. He made an elo quent address In support of Lane, seek ing above all else to divert voters from the belief that any party Issues are Involved In the election. In part he said: 'The present campaign means more tlwin a desire to follow the crowd. There Is a desire to emphasize ap proval of the Lane administration. The question to be decided at the coming election is between party and civic righteousness. There Is no other Issue. It Is not a political Issue, but a busi ness one; it Is not a personal issue I have nothing against Mr. Devlin. Mr. ' Devlin Is not on trial, but Mayor Lane .,1s; not Lane the man, but Lane the Mayor. You are to say whether you : approve or disapprove of his admin istration. That la the only Question you are asked or can be asked. "Do not let yourself be befogged by the clap-trap of party politics. There Is no politics In the election of a Mayor. Tou ; ought not to consider his politics, or whether he has any at all. Portland is J the largest and richest corporation In the i state and we are to choose a head for ' it that will be responsible for its welfare I and prosperity. On that issue we invite I J our closest investigation. Said Nothing for Devlin. "Mr. Devlin in a speech the other night ' formulated a platform for the Republi can party, but he said nothing for Dev , lin. He declared that the party stands for the repeal of perpetual franchises, and j et the last Legislature, controlled by Re publicans, refused to repeal the one per petual franchise that came before It. i Devlin does not intend to offend the In terests; he doesn't Intend to cut off his : supply. There would be no more inter est for him in the election if that source were cut off. When a man Is so driven to the wall as to make statements he can ' rot prove his cause Is very poor. "In his administration Irfine hes made many bitter enemies. Go into any saloon and 'deadfall in the North End and jou , will find a Devlin boomer. Go ask them I to vote for Lane and they will tell you ( that they will not do It. They are op 6 posed to TAiie because Lane is opposed to ' them. These people do nothing for any j body. If they elect Devlin they will j'Vnow they did it and demand recognition 1, of their services. Whether Devlin wants to give a good administration or not, he I cannot do It for his hands will be tied roy the work these people do for him. The i greatest compliment that can be paid to 1 Lane is that everyone of these people Is ' against him." I Mr. Pipes spoke quite briefly, confin ing himself almost exclusively to op j posing party politics in city elections. Ho brought forth a storm of applauBe when he referred to the writings of I Mr. Devlin to show that Lane's oppo j nent had been opposed to letting party I issues influence a municipal election. ) Make Apt Quotation. ' "'Would that mine enemy would ! write a book." " quoted Mr. Pipes from the Scripture, and added that in his I. book Devlin had upheld the contention of the Lane supporters In the present election. , "These issues axe proper In a Presi- riential election." continued Mr. Pipes. '; "but they are out of place here. Every i Mayor Portland ever had would have I been better If he had not been bound I by party affiliations. Mr. Devlin's the ory on this is right, and Lane Is the . first Mayor who ever put It Into prac f tlce la Portland. ' "The question is, whether good clti ! zens are to run this city or whether It i is to be run by the North End. But In addition to his crusade against vice, I Lane has fought the 'interests' and re ; peatedly vetoed ordinances that were ' not for your good." The address of Mayor Lane was very hrlof, being; chiefly a statement of his policies and his intention to enforce ' them in future as in the past. "Two years ago you elected me your ; Mayor and I have kept my pledges to ' you," he said. "I have got rid of the . boxes in the saloons and have enforced i the i-o'elock-elosinr ordinance. I found very little graft existing and I have been careful that none should exist. I Aa-ve tried to see to It that all VOTERS URGED menaces to home life were as far as possible removed. "As to the special Interests. I know that they are against me. They are for my opponent, and they usually do not make a mistake. I have had to veto franchises that they wanted, but in many cases they have been passed over my veto. More than 11, 000,000 in streets and privileges have been given away and In only one case have I failed to veto these ordinances. ' Danger In North End. "I believe I stand between you and a serious condition of affairs. The North End now seeks to reinstate it self; but If you elect me I shall neither steal from you nor let others steal. I shall make the interests, per sonal, corporate and vicious, keep their hands off your affairs. Where I know what is right I shall pursue it. I ad monish you to watch closely your offi cials. If they play you false they are not fit to live in a civilised country." TNIOX lABOR PARTY HOPEFUL Expects to Elect Man tt Council Whose Name Is First on Ballot. The Union Labor party at a meeting last night formulated plans for participat ing actively in the pending municipal cam paign in the interest of the Labor ticket. This Is the first time organised labor in this city has nominated even a partial ticket and the union meh are resolved to line up the most support It Is possible to muster. The candidates were Indorsed by the Federated Trades Council last night and that organization has pledged financial assistance to carry on the cam paign. While the friends of the movement real ize they have not the slightest chance to elect thev-head of their ticket. Charles Kelly for Mayor, they are encouraged in the hopes that they will succeed in form ing' the foundation of a permanent Labor party which will continue to figure in municipal affairs. Still the leaders In the movement expect to elect one Ward Coun cilman next month. "We believe we are going to elect Rob ert Henderson for Councilman from the First Ward against Councilman Preston, who is a candidate to succeed himself." said a labor man last night. "In fact, we will be seriously disappointed if we do not. We also feel confident of electing .M. G. Allen CounclIman-at-Large for two rea sons. In the first place In the alpha betical arrangement of the names on the ballot, his will appear first among the candidates for that office, which Is a dis tinct advantage. Secondly, the Democrats have nominated but one candidate for Councilman-at-Large and there are three to elect. We axe satisfied our man will receive many Democratic votes, which, with the labor vote and the scattering vote which will surely go to him as the first man on the list, the chances are good that he will receive enough to be elected." A campaign committee 'of nine mem bers, representing the various unions, has been named to conduct the campaign. This committee, organized last night by electing J. L. Ledwldge president and B. Raddlng secretary and treasurer. STIRS VP A HORNET'S KEST Federated Trades Delegate Says Em ployer Tried to Control Vote. A bartender stirred up a regular hornet's nest at a meeting of the l-'ed-erated Trades Council last night when he announced that his employer had re quested him to support for Mayor the candidate of one of the old parties for practical business reasons. W. B. Pltschke, secretary of the Oregon Fed eration of Labor, squelched the dele gate' and roundly denounced the at tempt to create disaffection among the members of organized labor. "Such a course is certainly not that of a union man, neither Is it expres sive of unlonlstlc principles," retorted Mr. Pltschke. "The only way the la boring men can ever expect to accom plish anything and get their dues is to stand together and support union men and union principles. No employer has the right to intimidate his em ployes In the matter of voting, and no loyal union man will submit to any such intimidation. The labor unions of this city have pledged their support to the candidates on the Labor ticket and It is to be expected of us that we will stand by our principles." An amendment was proposed to the constitution of the Trades Council by which representatives of the press will be invited to attend the deliberations of the body. The amendment will come up for final action at the regular meet ing of the council next week. RECESS FOR GRAND JURY Probing of the Furniture Trust Will be Resumed Monday. The Federal grand jury, which is in quiring into the alleged furniture trust, took a recess until 10 o'clock Monday morning at the close of yesterday's ses sion. Deputy United States Attorney Cole, who is directing the work of the Jurors, says the Investigation will be re sumed the first of the week.

Jobbers and retail dealers in furniture ex ists throughout the Pacific Northwest. Proof of the extensive operations of the alleged trust is believed to be revealed In the fact that witnesses have appeared be fore the Jury not only from all parts of this state but from the principal Sound cities, as well. W. R. Graham, of Pendleton, and Ralph Adams, of Dallas, both retail deal ers, were the witnesses yesterday fore noon and gave additional testimony as to the existence of a combine that not only controls prices but prex-ents undesirable competition.

WINS AFTER LONG FIGHT Executive Board's Action Marks An other Epoch in Asphalt Paving War Subject Has Been in Liti- y gation for Nearly a Year. Two contracts that have been under consideration for nearly a year were awarded yesterday by the Executive Board. The contracts are for the im provement of Sixth street, from Morri son to Yamhill, and of Oak street, from Second to Third. They were awarded to the Barber Asphalt Company, and if there is no stay in the proceedings, they will be the first thoroughfares in Port land to be. improved by that company. . The awarding of these contracts is an important move In the paving war that has been waged in Portland between the Barber Asphalt Company and the Warren Construction Company. The former con cern has been trying for several years to get a foothold and a share of the city's business, ahd has succeeded only In the present instance. When bids were advertised for Sixth and Oak streets, under provisions aimed to give competition, there were two bidders, the Barber Asphalt Company, and P. O. Solon, of San Francisco, the latter being the lower. Solon represented himself, through his attorneys, as a re sponsible bidder. The Board could not satisfy itself as to his responsibility, or even as to his existence. It waa openly charged by attorneys for the Barber Company that the Solon bid was made under cover of the Warren Construction Company for the sole purpose of throw ing discredit on their company, or to delay the Improvements by suits for patent infringements. The street com mittee recommended that the contracts be given to the Barber Company, but this action was not taken, owing to advice given by the City Attorney. Basis for. Injunction Suits. This action was taken because suits had been instituted in the Circuit Court restraining the city from carrying on the work. In these suits it was contended that the bids could not be granted to the higher bidder, as the city Jail fronts on one of the streets to be Improved, and the Federal building on the other. As the city must stand the expense of all street improvements In front of these buildings, the proposed contract was al leged to be a waste of the taxpayers' money. An injunction was granted In the court restraining the city from taking up the work. The city filed a demurrer to the complaint and a ruling in its favor was obtained last week. The case was ap pealed to the Supreme Court, and in the meantime the Injunction was held ef fective. City Attorney McNary said yes terday that the injunction will probably be vacated, and advised that the con tracts be awarded. He will make cer tain that the Injunction is to be set aside before the contract Is signed. Mayor Lane warned the Board of the notice given by the Warren Construction Company, that it will prosecute the city for any infringement of Its patent. It was then provided that the Barber Com pany must give a bond indemnifying the city against any loss. Dan J. Malarkey. attorney for the Barber Company, agreed to this. On motion of R. L. Sahin, the special Insurance committee of the Executive Board was dismissed from further ser vice. Soon after the San Francisco dis aster, this committee was appointed to see that the city did not give any of its business to companies that had not paid their Bay City losses In full. It was decided that the services of the com mittee are no longer needed. Launch for Harbormaster. The Board delegated to the police com mittee full power to draw up specifica tions and award the contract for the pur chase of the Harbormaster's launch. An appropriation was made for this purpose by the Council at its last meeting. The Board also appointed Robert King and Robert Simpson temporary deputies In the Plumbing Inspector's office. The following bids for street and sewer improvements were received: Multnomah street Bechlll Brothers. $1fl0.78; Oleblreh Joplln. I1SS1.74. Fifteenth street Star Sand Company, $3416.68.

All 6neen GO BEFORE PEOPLE Bill for Taxation of Corpora tions Will Be Revived. KILLED BY LEGISLATURE Promoters Intend to Bring It to A'ote Cnder Initiative Board ol Commissioners to Make Valuations. Taxation of public service corporations on their capitalized net earnings was de feated In the Oregon Senate laM Feb ruary, .in the slaughter of a bill of the late State Tax Commission, but the bill Is likely to be revived under the initiative next year and passed In " the "people's !LepisIature," where corporations do not wield influence and scatter death among the people's bills as in the Legislative Assembly in the State Capitol. F. W. Mulkey. ex-United States Sena tor and president of the Tax Commission, said yesterday that he favored invoking the initiative in behalf of the defeated bill. He said that no concerted move ment was yet started for that purpose, but that there would be In due time. "The bill." he remarked, "was drafted by the Commission after considerable labor. It provided the best-known method of taxing the franchises of public service corporations." The bill would have created a Board of Commissioners of five members to assess the valuations of public service corpora tlons. such as railroad, union station and depot, electric and street railway and such heat, light, power, water, gas and electric as do business as one system partly within the state and partly with out or in more than one, county of the state. The framers of the bill came to the conclusion that any other method of taxing franchises would be futile In large part, because allowing important intan gible valuations to escape. The -actual cash valuation of the busi ness of the corporation is what the framers sought to tax. This is the valua tion at which the corporation is bought and sold and it is based on the net earn ings capitalized at a fair Interest rate. For example. If the net earnings are J200.000 and that sum were capitalized at say 5 per cent, Jl,000,0O0 would represent the actual value of the business of the corporation and would be assessed at ap proximately that figure, probably less, and with valuations deducted of physical properties assessed by Assessors in the usual manner, , A big lobby of corporation attorneys, of course, swooped down on the Legislature last Winter when this bill was intro duced. They could not prevent passage of the bill in the House, though they held it there more than three weeks. In the Senate they delayed it some 10 days, until the day before adjournment, and then slaughtered It. along with several other bills which the corporations had branded for the shambles. The vote on passage in the Senate was 10 ayes and 18 noes, as follows: Ayes Bingham. Booth, Bowerman, Caldwell, Hart. Hedges, Laycock, Not tingham. Scholfleld. Smith 10. Noes Bailey, Beach. Coke. Cole, Coshow. Hodson. Johnson. Kay.' Lough ary. Malarkey. McDonald. Miller of IJnn and Marion. Mulit, Slchel. Smith of Marlon, Whealdon, Wright and Haines. In the last state election bills were en acted bv the neople under the initiative. by tremendous majority, taxing the gross earnings of express companies. tele- tranli. telephone, sleeping car, retngera tor car and oil companies, the tax being 2 and 3 per cent. This tax was enacted bv the people after the Legislature had refused to pass a gross earnings tax bill. - FOR EVANGELICAL UNION Conference Delegates Strongly Favor Merger of Two Churches. Rev. A. A.
