Donations of Trophies for Various Ileaturcs of Parades Are Kecelved. letters of Inquiry, telephone messages," end personal calls, showing that wide spread Interest la being taken in the various competitions of the approaching Hose Festival parades, are reported by the Festival management. MViy volun tary offerings of silver trophies, loving cups and other valuable mementoes, to stimulate interest in the displays at the romtng Rose Show, have been received. Hose lovers throughout the city, stirred to new enthusiasm by the initial budding of their choice varieties, are requesting Information as to the various classes in which they may enter their blossoms and tiie Inducements being offered for the prlsewlnnlng contestants. That the city's coterie of launch-owners, canoe clubs and enthusiasts for every variety of watercraft are awakening to general Interest in the big spectacular water carnival, to be held on the night of June 3, Is indicated by the dally letters of inquiry being received by the Rose festival committee. The voluntary offerings, from private sources, of cups and trophies, to be of novel and original design, and to attest the contributor's enthusiasm for the Rose Festival as a permanent annual event in Portland in the engraving, will materially assist the carnival management, as the numerous classes to be entered in the various parades, such as decorated car riages, motor cars, pony carts, tallyhos, bicycles, etc., on terra firm a, and such as yacht, launch and barge displays in the water events, will make heavy draft on the donations to the carnival fund and each trophy volunteered by individual enthusiasts reduces the financial drain materially, in this direction, so that the funds may be used for other much-needed features of the celebration. Several handsome cupa are already in the hands of the engravers, permission' having been given the contributors, by the carnival management, to have these engraved and officially offered for com petition In the particular classes to which the donor's enthusiasm inclines.

SINGLE TAX PROPOSED AMENDMENT DIS CUSSED AT MONTAVILLA. Walter Thomas Mills Speaks for Jt, and Judge M. C. George Against. Large Audience Hears Talk. In his address last night, in opening the debate with Judge M. C. George, at the Oddfellows' Hall, in Montavilla, on the single tax amendment, Walter Thomas Mills, speaking for the amend ment, contended that the present sys tem of taxation is wrong and vicious and no change could be for the worse. His argument was based on the theory that by removing the tax on manufacturing concerns, houses and bams and ma chinery and tools. It would result in industrial establishments pouring into this state and that Improvement would be made generally. Mr. Mills held that the present syBtem is wrong for the reason it is in the na ture of a fine for a man who makes im provements. He said that In Oregon the bulk of the wealth is in the cities, but that in the payment of taxes the farmer pays about three-flftha of the taxes and the cities two-fifths. By adopting the single tax amendment, he said, all these inequalities in taxation would disappear. Mr. Mills spoke for 45 minutes. Judge George followed in a talk of one hour. He held that the present law, enforced, would tend to. equality in taxation, and read the law to show that it means that property of ell kinds should bear its just proportion of taxation. He pointed out that the proposed amendment is not a single tax measure, but a step in that direction, and declared that its adoption would result in a complete upheaval in the state and an unsettling of all condi tions. The single tax, he declared, is untried and yet it is proposed to take the first step in that direction by this amend ment. - Both addresses were highly interesting. Mr. Mills is perhaps the strongest advo- cate of the amendment in the state and Judge George has given much thought to the subject. There was a large audience. The meeting was under the auspices of the Montavilla Improvement. Boardi and W. C. Aylesworth presided. COME EARLY, COME EARLY, COME EARLY. AND IF YOU CAN'T COME EARLY, COME ANYHOW ! FRANK L.

Lombard Before Council Com mittee to Oppose Opening Street, The City Water Board was severely criticised yesterday afternoon, during a meeting of the Council Committee on Streets, when B. M. Lombard, a well known and wealthy real estate dealer, charged the members of the Board with ulterior motives' in seeking to secure an order opening Halsey street, from Twenty-seventh to Thirty-seventh streets. He was present to oppose such action, and, in the course of his remarks, declared that the whole plan was a scheme of the Board to force someone else to pay for an Improvement to get a pipe line through. The matter was laid over. "There is absolutely no need for a street there," said Mr. 'Lombard, in - addressing the members of the Streets Committee. "It is simply a scheme of the Water Board, and is just in line with nearly everything they do. I have made several propositions to the members about that matter and they have paid no attention. It is a case of ulterior motives on their part; a scheme to make someone p'ay for opening the street, and should not be granted." , Swell tan shoes at Rosenthal's.
