Gets More Votes,. Than Any Other
Candidate, and Yet His Total
Campaign Expenses Amount
to Iens Than 30.
More votes went to J. V. Bailey,
Food and Dairy Commissioner, in last
week's primaries, than to any other
candidate who had opposition, and he
made less campaign than any. His
majority over his opponent. Dr. Alex
ander Reld, was 15,00u, and the ex
pense of his campaign was less than
S3t. He IsHued no picture cards and
hia campaijrn altogether whs the
quietest ever made by a successful
candidate for a state office. Mr.
Ralley'g friends expect lilm to run far
ahead of other nominees on the Re
publican ticket In the June election.
Mr." Railey hn been for ten years
Food and Dairy Commissioner and
probably has a wider acquaintance
than any man in the state, not ex
cepting Governor Chamberlain. Hia
duties have taken him into all parts of
Oregon. The backbone of his support
is the livestock and dairy Interest,
toward which he has devoted most of
the 30 years of his residence In Ore
gon. Four years ago in the state conven
tion Mr. Bailey proved his strength
by defeating the powerful Matthews
machine that had marked him for
slaughter. This created a tremendous
surprise .and was the only- occasion
that the Matthews machine failed to
rule the convention. In the June elec
tion Mr. Bailey ran first on his
ticket with the biggest majority of
any candidate.
Mr. Bailey's friends are booming him
for Governor two years hence. They aay
that he is the only well-known man who
can prevent the usual Republican bolt to
the Democratic candidate.
In the last primary campaign Mr. Bailey
issued no posters and hia picture appeared
in no advertisement, although his friends
repeatedly urged him to boost himself !ri
that manner. His only newspaper adver
tisement was an item in The Oregonian
the day before the primaries. His only
other announcement was on small printed
cards, circulated a few days prior to the
primaries. He spent less than $30 and
most of that expenditure was for cost of
circulating his primary petition for signa
tures. His petition contained 1600 names.
The usual price paid to petition circulat
ors is between G cents and 10 cents a
name, but Mr. Bailey's friends did most
of the circulating work without coBt to
him.
Mr. Bailey's . rival. Dr. Reld. spent a
large sum of money. He traveled consid
erably to make himself acquainted and
Issued large quantities of printed matter.
But he carried not one county in the slate.
KAVANAUGH DEFENDS SUIT
ltEPIylKS TO COMPIjAIXT IX
CASE OF IrOXG VS. CITY.
City Attorney Contends It Is Too
I, ate to Revoke Referendum
After Law Takes Effect.
That the referendum cannot be invoked
against a law after that law goes Into
effect, and that the referendum does not
apply to city ordinances, but only to the
state laws, are the two contentions of
City Attorney Kavanaugh in his answer
to the suit brought against the city by
George Ixng. The questions were argued
before Judge Gantenbein yesterday, and
the case taken under advisement.
Long's suit was brought to restrain
the city officials from collecting a license
under the vehicle tsx ordinance, which
was passed by the tlty Council over the
Mayor's veto on February 13, last. The
city demurred to the complaint, alleging
that It did not state facts sufficient to
constitute a cause of action.
The City Attorney and his deputy,
Frank 8. Grant also contend that the
ordinance became effective within ten
days of its passage, according to the
provisions of the city charter. Iong's
attorneys, however, contend that the
state law provides that ordinances shall
go Into effect 30 days after their pass
age. Should it be found by Judge
Gantenbein that the referendum law does
not apply to cities, it is probable that one
will be placed before the next Legislature.
Suit Settled Out or Court.
The suit of Km ma A. Conway against
the Portland Railway. Light A Power
Company ha been settled out of court.
Mrs. Conwav sued to recover $10.30
damages for injuries sustained when

and Main streets, when another O. W.,
P. car crashed Into it. An agreement
waa reached by which the company Is
to pay Mrs. Conway $S08.25. Mrs.
Conway testified yesterday morning
that on account of her injuries she was
compelled to give up her position as
stenographer after the accident She
vu formerly employed by Long; &
Sweek.
Sues Brother for Pay for Work.
The suit of Maurice Barretl, against
his brother, Colburn Barren, was be
gun before Judge Cleland in the Cir

principal place of business. A large num
ber of suits ajrainst the county similar
to that of the Western Oil Company are
pending and the decision Is expected to
have an Important bearing on them.

NEBRASKA JUDGE WRONG
Reversed by Culled States Supreme
Court In Chinese Cane.
"WASHINGTON, April .-The Supreme
Court of the United States today decided
that IJeu Hop Fong, a Chinaman, who
came to the United States in ltt9 as a
student, but who has since been found
working, should not be deported, as was
decreed by the United States District
Court of Nebraska. The latter declared
that Hop had only studied to the ex
tent of taking lessons in Sunday school
and. finding that his certificate declaring
that he was coming to the United States
for the purpose of engag-ingtin the pursuit
of scholastic, knowledge was fraudulent,
ordered that he be sent back to China.
Today's opinion was by Justice Day
and reversed the order of the Nebraska
court. Justice Day took the position
that there was no testimony before the
District Court to justify the disregarding
of the certificate as waa done by that
court.

RAISE SUBURBAN VALUES
ASSESSOR SIGIKK WIMj
CREASE VAIytATIOX.
IKmntonn Property Will Remain
the Same as I,a-t Year on
Forthcoming; Roll.
County Assessor Sigler this year ex
perts to add approximately Ti.oii0.0iio to
the assessed valuation of Multnomah
County property. The 1507 roll, on which
lf08 taxes are being collected, asgreguted
$2.12.000.000. and the proposed Increase will
bring the total up to about S37.oO0.0ci0. This
Increased assessment will be levied prin
cipally on property in the suburban dis
tricts which have advanced In value since
the last assessment was made. Down
town business property will not be dis
turbed materially. Assessor Sigler feel
ing that the assessable values on last
year's roll are hlph enough.
"I am convinced that the value of
property In the business districts of the
city has not advanced materially during
the last year," said Assessor Staler yes
terday, "and for that reason I expect to
list that class of property substantially
at the same values of last year. Subur
ban property, on the contrary, has been
advancing steadily In value and will 1m
assessed proportionately higher. Improve
ments throughout the city will be cov
ered thoroughly ami listed at fair valua
tions. The same Is true of personal prop
erty. The aggregate of the roll will not'
he Increased more than or
IS.000.ooo."
These calculations, so far as the total
of the 1!K)8 roll are concerned, are based
on the presumption that the l7 imtsohbI
property assessment of 16.i0i against
the O. R. N. Company, which is lii lng
contested by the corporation, will be sus
tained In the courts and the company re
quired to pay the taxes on the assess
ment. If the controversy Is decided ad
versely to the county by the courts, the
effect will be to reduce the aggregate of
the roll this year.
