SEEKS FRANCHISES
FOR MORE LINES
Street Railway Company Will
Ask Council for Permits
to Lay Tracks.
PLANS MANY EXTENSIONS
Order Tlaced for $50,000 Worth of
Trolley Wire in the Kast Xew
Kledrio Substations to Re
Built on the Peninsula.
Requests for franchises to build street
car lines on many streets in the outlying
districts so as to serve the growing
suburban territory lth new lines will be
made within the next few day by Presi
dent Jossclyn of the Portland Railway,
I-ight St Power Company. The Council
will be asked to permit the laying of
tracks throughout a larg-e district on the
Ea-vt Side where the growth of population
has outdistanced the car lines. .
Orders have .lust been placed by Mr.
jAsselyn's company with Eastern manu
facturers for tW.O0T worth of copper wire.
most of which is Intended for the string
ing of trolleys for the new lines. A por
tion of this order will be used in strength
ening existing trolley lines and extending
electric light wires to take care of the
rapid growth of- the city.
The money that will be spent by the
company upon the granting of the desired
franchises by the Council will, it U said.
segregate a large sum. On Just what
streets permission will be asked to lay
tracks will not be disclosed until the peti
tion of the company is laid before the
Council, but tn a general way. requests
will cover the newer districts throughout
the East Side.
'Plans are being drawn," said Presi
dent Josselyn. "for a new electric sub
station that will be erected on Northern
Hill and will serve St. John, the Colum
bia and Willamette-river bridge, now
being erected by the Spokane. Portland
& Seattle Railway, the Swift and other
packing establishments on the Peninsula
and the surrounding district. This sub
station, including the machinery and
feed wires, will cost about 6. W0.
"Flans are well along for the new ear
barns and clubhouses to be built at Sell
wood and work will start shortly on the
new double track passenger line north
from the Inman-Poulsen mill and east
of the freight yards at the east end of
the Madison-street bridge. This line will
be completed In time for the heavy Sum
mer travel on the O. W. P. lines and will
remove this traflk from the freight yards
of the company, through which it no
passes. "
BASH BOARD SIGNS UNSIGHTLY
President Josselyn Tell Why They
Were Removed From Cars.
The removal of dashboard signs
from the city streetcars ha-s caused
numerous protests from cltlsens who
think the chance ill advised. How
ever, President Benage S. Josselyn, of
the Portland Railway, Lipht & Power
Company, explains that the new order
Is in line with progress in street rail
way management. He plves the roi
lowingr reasons for removing- the dash
board sigrns and leaving: the Illuminat
ed sipns on Portland streetcars:
The dashboard signs greatly marred
the appearance of our new equipment
and wore very much criticised by peo
ple from other cities. We could not
leave them off the new cars without
taking: off all others, as some cars
with these signs on and others without
them would tend to confusion.
"These signs are not used on cars
n any other city. They are a relic
of a bygone aee and Portland is no
longer a country village but a metro
politan city. W'e are assisting in every
way possible to get out of our swad
dling clothes.
"The old style signs were placed on
streetcars when they had no other
Identification, but after putting on
Illuminated signs on top of the car,
the large lettered signs were no long
er necessary. The ittumlnated signs
can be seen day or night, while the
dashboard signs can be seen only in
the day or while the car is under a
street lamp.
"It is characteristic of any com
munity to resent any change in the
old and established methods, whether
there Is merit In the change or not,
and while, there has been some slight
complaint on account of this change, it
is gradually disappearing and in an
other month these complaints will
probably be forgotten and our equip
ment complimented for Us neat and
tasty appearance, not only by visiting
strangers, but by citizens as well."
OREGON'S STATE LAND
Mr. Geer Ienies That Any Governor
Ever Sold an Acre of It.
.PORTLASD. April g. (To th Editor.)
A man named Buc-kley is of the opinion
that ha cannot support me for Congress and
considers the fact of ufftc!ent public inter
est to carry It to the column of The Or-g-onlan.
Of eours I do not expert my nomination
to b unanimous, hence, the losa of a man
here and there is to be expected, "however
much I may deplore Mr. Buckley defecttn
and deflection. But since his plaint la In
cluded in tha general conclusion that the
school fund of Oregon Is not as large as that
of Washington, as he says, by a difference
of fully $4N.0rt0 0O0, and that I am per
sonally responrtblo for lt; it seems that I
should offer him some consolation, tf It can
b done.
My friend would not be thus grieved if
fc did not mart off oa ths wron foot.
Speaking of me he says: -He made tha
claim that he sold th lands according to
law." Mr. Buckley's grievanc going back
into the distant past. But he belongs, evi
dently, to that class of our fellow cltirenf
who still think that s'nr there are two
candidates for United Ststes Senator who
ar-ff Republicans and that the Pemocrati
will have but one. of course the Dmncr!
will win. with but one candidate against
two Republican." The substance of Mr.
Buckley's grievance Is contained In the
statement that "1 assert that the State
Land Board should not hive done this or
that." "a ruling of the State Land Board is
law. etc.." "the Foard should have sold to
the highest bidder." etc.. etc.
Mr. Buckley wouTjJ have more peace of
mind, perhaps. If he only understood that
I never asserted that I sold an acre of
state land to anybody or at anr price. No
Governor ever did. No Governor ever tried
t3. There has never been a law on the
statute books of Oregon authorizing the
Governor to sell an a re of land to either
the highest or the lowest or to any other
bidder This is all the work of the State
Land Board, of which the Governor is a
minority member, being but one-third of it.
and since no act of the Lnd Board while
I was Governor waa consummated without
the approval of the State Treasurer and the
Secretary of State, the majority members,
and sinre they were both re-elected at the
end of my term the Inference would be
that the acts of the board were Indorsed
by the people, wouldn't it?
Mr. Buckley, at this late day, puts his
trouble In these words:
"Mr. Ger bad an example before him tn
the State of Washington. That state sella
no. lands fr less than $10 per acre, except
State Capitol lands, and alt lands must be

sold to the higrhest bidder We have In this
state a school fund of about $.VO0O OOO or
f (.iM"rt,ovv while about all thw lands are
sold. What Washington has to show in the
value of her public laada goes cloe on to
$:o.ooo.ooo, i.vivto acres of land in the ,
Nehalem brought to the school fund a little
over $H.HV acres back of Ska-
mokawa brought to the erhool fund of the
State of Washington i.O00. bought by
bankers of this city."
Hut my friend makes the mistake of sup
postng that I was the State Ijes-lslature as
well as the other two members of the t,and
Board, a conclusion wblch Is so manifestly
wrong that I am compelled to enter a posi
tive demurer.
The object of the legislature of this
state has been from the very beaMnnins; to
get rid of Its lands at any fle-ure they must
be converted into money and turned into
the school fund at a time when there was
little demand for land and the price had
to be low to find a sale at all. A few years
ago, tndeed. the Legislature actually lowered
the price of some ofejhe state lands from
fl.2ft an acre to $t the sales were not go
itre fast enough. It was a mistake, to be
sure, to.t the lands must go. The price
could not be Fiieeesaully raised when the
Govomment price wis so low for its lander
and the hichest bidder alternative was abso
lutely useless for that reason until lands be
came scarcer. Purina: the latter part of my
term, this system was adopted by the state
board with some degree of success but I
didn't do it alowe.
Orepon should have held on to its la.nds,
to be wire, as Washington aid, and I called
the attention of the le(rhlsture to the sit
uation in several mfwut but by that time
the lands were practically gone at a very
lew flcure. t
After wanderlnr through, a lot of figures.
Mr. Buckley says: "I do not assert that
this was done during Gear's term of office,
but It show what could have been done."
Sure, It was not done during my term of
office, but it shows what somebody else
has done, so let ne charge Geer with it
he's running for Oonre:
Serlousiv, bowever, that difference between
the scnI fund of Washtneton. aso.Ono.ono.
and that of Orepon. $V0O0OO0. since t am re
sponsible for tt. worries me. It has been the
accumulation of the operations of the school
laws and ewv-essive land boards for
vears, but It now rests on my individu s
shoulders, and the welp-ht of $4,1.ono,0OO t
not easi-y thrown off. A smaller sum. say
ha'f of it. I could easily pay. and would
giartlr do so. through a sincere desire to re

my bank account.
Whv it Is nearly twice the amount of the
Rockefeller fine, and the fait that It Is

citizens of Oreron. legislators and State
Ind Boards for a half century tast being
forgiven and forgotten, constitutes a mir
den that a man of less hardness of heart

CITY . LOTS AND HENS
Mr. Guilford Writes Another Chap
ter on Vneamed Increment.
WESTPORT. Wash.. April 8 (To the
Editor.) Referring to the editorial tn The
Oreconlan of March 9 on the single tax
For what other property besides land could
man buv in a growing community like
Portland, go away for a period of 10 years,
let the property lie idle and uncared for. and
return and sell for four times as much as it
cost, taxes included? This question presup
poses that the town doubles, and that land
speculation Is rife. Please answer this quea-
lwlll show some of the things which are
rot affected by the growtn of tne commu
nltv. In the manner peculiar to the land.
Take, for Instance, a calf and an unused lot.
The lot grows In value as the community
grows dav and nignt. ana wunnm
food. The calf grows In value day and
night, if he is fed and cared for day and
night I fall to see any "unearned Incre
ment" In case of the majority of calves.
t have a house and three lots in Flrland.
also some fine hens. In the last two years
mv lots have doubled In price. Two years
ago eggs sold at 2 cents per dosen. This
year at 20 cents. It is evident that the lots
have received the benefit of the "unearned
Increment " Mv hottse and furniture are in
the same boat as the hens. Therefore my
lots alone belong in part to the community.
The same share of the three -vacant lots
actroas- the road bolongs to the community.
Therefore, since our privileges are the same,
our benefits from the community are tha
same, our debts to the community the same,
and our taxes should be the same.
Iet us see what conditions must be im
posed upon hens, that they may receive the
benefit of "the unearned. Increment," Iet
the number of hens that werw tn Oregon
two years ago be the standard number of
hens no increase to be allowed. Place a
prohttRlTe tariff on eggs brought Into this
state. As the community grows, the price
of hens and egg will advance. Some wis
men. noting the advance in hen-prica with
the growth of the state. Invest some money
in hena. These men are retired land specu
lators, ao there la no more advantage in
using hena than In using land. The hens are
obliging and lay no eggs. The other hens
in the meantime would be working over
time. A good-sised tax Is imposed upon
egrs, but the tax on hens Is light, espe
cially on unused bens. The speculators saw
that this law was passed before they bousrht
hena. so they couJd afford to hold tha bid
dies Idle.
Given such conditions, and the tax. being
added to the price of the eggs, the price of

bens and oggs will keep step with the price
of land and living. The price of both land
and hens would be far above their natural
price. The difference represents the "un
earned increment."
In regard to that "cattle case." where Im
mense wealth stored In the beef of (he
prairies Is made available by th Introduc
tion of railroads, thta case nas some of tn
qualities of the "unearned Increment . Let
me analyse the situation: The WeMern peo
ple were rich tn meat products, hut poor In
some other respects. The Eastern people
were rich In some other respects, but poor In
meat product. A barrier to trad was re
moved by the railroads Since those cattle,
before the Incentive to raise them econom
ically and rapidly was created by the rail
road, were practically wild and pertained as
much to the land as coal or timber, or
water power labor bad so small a share In
their production as to be negligible they
received the "unearned increment" when the
railroad came through.
After the original crop of wild cattle had
been exhausted, and care and labor became
necessary to produce more In order to fill
the demand, the "unearned Increment' be
came a thing of the past, as far as the
cattle were concerned Were the cat lie
war in the West caused by the contentions
over the cattle, or over the land? Rvery
body is anxious to g-et something- for noth
ing; therefora the strenuous endeavor In get
control of the cattle lands, to which the
"unearned Increment" is permanently at
tached "Every permanent improvement of
the soil, every railway gnd mad. every bat
tering of the -g-eneral condition of society,
every eMmuhis supplied to consumption,
raises ground) rent."
P. P GUIUFORP.
Mr. Guilford's problem of the city lots and
tha hens remind us of a question we have
long desired to ask the single tax evan
gelists. If it Is, right for society to take
possession of the unearned increment when
it accrues, ought not society to reimburse the
man when through the general progress of
the world his property is lessened In value?
Joseph has a city lot which increases $100 In
value, pnelety grabs the Increment because
It has created It. But Henry has a farm in
Connecticut which In the last ,y years has
decreased In value. roee society make up
the loss to Henry because It has caused the
loss?
The settlement and development of the
West have caused a fall In value of agri
cultural land throughout the entire Attantio
rectlon. If society has the right to take
ever'what it creates, it certainly ought to
make good what it destroys, it Is a poo?
rule that will not work both ways. Mr.
Guilford condescends to admit that our hend
of Weatern cattle did actually acquire un
earned, increment when the railroad wis
built. This Is all we ask. He may n.w
show that there are 10.000.000 hens and
roosters which never have acquired 'un
earned Increment, but It will avail Vilm
nothing. Our contention Is that other things
healdes land acquire unearned Increment,
not that everything does In all clrv-um-rtanccs.
Land does not always acquire In
crement of value. Very often it acquires
decrement, as everybody knows whro has
ever lived through a boom and seen tJie bot
tom fall out. This sad fact our argumenta
tive fanatics see fit to forget, but tcey can
hardly push It out of sight. Nor cjin they
deny that if society has the right to grab
the profit on land, it ought also to make
good the loss.

DEMOCRATS H0U3 MEETING j
County Committee Ijsyks Quorum, so
No Art Ion Is Taken.
A meeting of the Democratic county
committee was held last night with the
object of discussing .'plans for placing a
ticket in the field for the June election.
No action could be taken, however, as
there was not a rjuorum of members
present. Several ;peeches were made
favoring the placing of a straight ticket
In nomination, but these could not ac
complish anything more than to indi
cate the views of f.he speakers, and with
out vote of a q i or um could not be re
garded as binding, the committee to any
action, according to the chairman. George
H. Thomas. After the meeting adjourned,
Mr. Thomas said-:
"Believing in majority rule, and know

hardest kind to cure. We cannot hope that all men will accept onr
