14 THE OKEGOTTAX, FRIDAY, 3IAY 29, 190S. WILL-SPEND S500B TO WIN BIG PRIZE Fair Spokane Matron Is Here Expressly to Take "First" in Auto Parade. MATCH ROSES WITH OURS Vails City Blooms to Bo Used In Dec orating Its Car, So Comparison May Be JIade AVlth Port land Flowers. .Spokane Is here, strong and substan tial, ready to carry awtiy, if she can, the capital prize in the decorated and competitive automobile parade of the Rose Festival. Mrs. Jlay Arkwright Hutton, of Spo kane, arrived yesterday morning at the " Hotel Portland, and she has with her credentials of the fipokane Chamber of Commerce, the One Hundred and Fifty Thousand Club, and the Spokane Floral Association, and she has been given carte blanche to spend all the money necessary to carry off the big prize. Mrs. Hutton has already taken up the matter of entering a 60-horse-power car in the parade of next Wednesday morn ing. Her husband is making the trip from Spokane overland, and will be here early this morning, unless he had the good fortune to negotiate several bad places and got in last night. At least he has not been heard from. Immediate ly upon his arrival he will put his car "in ordinary," where It will be prepared for the big parade of next Wednesday. Mrs. Hutton has come to Portland to represent the three big municipal organ izations above mentioned, and she said In an interview at the Portland last night that these clubs would spend $5000 if it was thought necessary to put up that much money to win the capital prize. Mr. Hutton'B car is to be decorated in roses grown in Spokane, and the trio of clubs will gather all the blooms avail able and send them here by express, for the purpose of convincing the visitors that the metropolis of the Inland Empire has Just as good roses as Portland. "We aren't going to let anybody beat us out If we can help it," said Mrs. Hut ton last night, "and the Spokane Cham ber of Commerce, the 150,000 Club, and the Spokane Floral Association will put up all the money we require. I am go ing to find out what the others are go ing to do and we will do something a little more artistic, a little more spec tacular and a little more imposing than all the rest." . Mrs. Hutton arrived yesterday morn ing from Seattle, where she saw the en trance of the battleship fleet. While there she gave a dinner to the 18 mem bers of the executive board of the State Equal Suffrage Association, at the Savoy Hotel, Mrs. Hutton being president of the Spokane association. In the evening a reception was given to .Emma Smith Devoe, president of the state association; Mrs. Hutton and Mrs. A. H. Allen, pres ident of the Washington State Federation of Women's Clubs. Mrs. Hutton was for ten years one of the foremost equal suffrage workers In the 8tate.pt Idaho, and she was a candidate forthe Legis lature in 1904, leading her ticket, but losing out in the general result.

BOOMS MILITIA ARMORIES Answers Opposing Statements of Portland Taxpayers' League. PENDLETON. Or., May 21. (To the Editor.) Since The Oregonian, along with other newspapers of the state, has given publicity to a statement antagonistic to the Armory bill, just sent lorm Dy tne Portland Taxpayers' League, I ask that in fairness the following statement of the case be published from a guardsman's standpoint: At this time, while the Armory appro priation Is up for" approval, there seems a strange feeling of Indifference, almost of antipathy, to the Oregon National Guard on the part of some taxpayers. This Is singular. becausein the past there have been many times when those property-owners were more Interested in the Guard. The property-owners of Portland were not Indifferent to the National Guard a year or more ago, when the streetcar strike was on, and it was hourly expected that the Third Oregon Infantry would have to be called out to quell the rioting. There was no antipathy to the National Guard from taxpayers when, during the fishermen s strike on the Lower Columbia River, several years ago, the Guard was called out and saved many thousands of dollars' worth of property from being de stroyed. There was no objection to the National Guard when, not many months ago, the Roseburg company was called out to quell a band of rioting Greeks and did so. Nor were the people of Oregon indifferent to the Oregon National Guard when, in 1898, the Second Oregon Regiment was formed from the Guard companies then existing and went forth as this state's contingent in the Spanish-American War. Now, if the people of Oregon! desire the services of the National Guard in times of need to fight a foreign foe or quell local disturbances when civil authorities are powerless to do so is .It not fair that the state should provide the Guard companies with decent accommodations? From my experiences an officer in Company L, of this city, 1 see the need ,f the Armory bill and know that it is one of the most meritorious measures that was - ever passed by the Legislature of Oregon. In our town we use as an armory a hall, and it Is the only bne available, that costs us more rent -than the company receives annually from the state. During the past year the actual expenses of the company for flights, fuel, Janitor work, etc., have been nearly double the allowance from the state. We have made up the deficit by giving dancing parties and an enter tainment. But our company le a new one and one of the largest and most enthu siastic in the state. Were it not for this fact, the company could not exist. How older companies, in which interest has be come dulled, manage to exist goodness only knows. We don't. If the armory bill is upheld by the peo ple of the state, we hope to secure an armory for this city. If we do it will be easy to maintain a Guard company here, for we will then have a building that is suitable for drilling purposes and one in which we can also have a gym nasium and a reading-room, two things that are excellent In connection with a National Guard company's quarters. Now, the things that are true of Pen dleton are true of practically every town in the stateoutside of Portland where ever there Is a Guard company. There Is not an armory in the state outside of Portland, though Portland has only six out of the 19 companies of infantry now existing within the state. The appropriation for armories made by the last Legislature was a very mod est . one. The statement of the Port land Taxpayers' League that the bill pro vides for an unlimited number of armor ies is false. The number is limited very rigidly by the amount of money appro priated, J25.O0O per year for four years. There is nothing on earth wrong with the law and any citizen will find such to be true if he but take the trouble to Investigate the same. As a Guardsman. I hope that the bill will be upheld, and If it is not. I will be greatly ashamed of my native state. If the property owners of the state vote against the bill they will make a fatal error, foe, they will be striking the hand which, at certain times, constitutes the only protection for their lives and property- ' B.
