E'S
Fulton-Taft Forces See No
Signs of Active Campaign
in Oregon.
BEACH LEAVES FOR EAS
Reported That He Will Ask Chair
man Hitchcock ' to Recognize
Ralph E. Williams as Man-
ager in This State.
Following a conference with Senator
Fulton in Portland Saturday, State Sena
tor S. C. Beach left for the "East." The.
Senator's destination was not disclosed,
but it is suspected strongly that he has
pon personally to consult with National
Chairman Hitchcock at Chicago. The
purpose) of his mission undoubtedly is to
present to Chairman Hitchcock the sltua
tion In Oregon where W. M. Cake, state
chairman. Is pledged to the election of
Governor Chamberlain, a Democrat, to
the Senate. In event the Fulton-Taft
faction falls to oust Cake as state chair
man, or decides not to try. the National
chairman will be asked to Ignore Cake
and consent to the management of the
campaign in this state through Ralph E.
Williams, National committeeman for
Oregon.
Is there go In it to be any campaign In
Oregon in the interest of the Republican
Presidential ticket? That is the question
trany Republicans, especially those irien
tlfled with the interests of Senator Ful
ton, are asking impatiently. They have
been seeking the information for several
weeks, but they have appealed to deaf
ears. Their patience has about reached
the limit of endurance and It has been
decided flatly to present the situation to
Chairman Cake and demand that he
either inaugurate an aggressive campaign
throughout the state and that immedl
ately, or accept the alternative of resign
ing from the state chairmanship. It Is
generally known lhat if Cake is ousted
as state chairman he will be succeeded
ty Plate Senator Beach.
Cake to Return This Week.
After an absence of nearly two months
in the East. Chairman Cake has tele-
graphed that he will return to Portlard
some time this week. Ralph E. imams,
National committeeman for Oregon, has
arranged to come to this city from his
home at Dallas the latter part of the
week. Some time during the week a con
ference will b? held, and at this meeting
the Fulton-Taft people propose to find
out what Cake expects to do. IT any
thing, towards lining up the voters of
the stste for the Republican ticket in
November.
Ever since Chairman Cake left for Bos
ton, shortly aft?r the conference with
National Chairman Hitchcock at Colo
rado Springs, the Fulton-Taft forces have
been trying to learn from him what his
plans were for the campaign. Letters
were disregarded and a telegram of in
quiry failed o bring a response from the
elate chairman. Case's refusal to rrply
to these inquiries had .the effect of far
ther Impressing those left at home of
the apparent apathy of their tate chair
man. In view of the extreme activity of
the Democrats in this state, the Fulton
Taft men insist that the details for an
active cimpaign by the Republicans
should have been arranged immediately
following the Colorado Springs confer
ence. They protest against the protract
ed absence from the city of Cake and his
failure to. Initiate active campaign work
before leaving.
Republicans Are Not Organized.
As It is. the Republicans of this state
have no organization. Neither the State
Central Committee nor the Multnomah
County Central Committee has estab
lished headquarters. As a result, no ar
rangements of any kind have been made
for conducting the campaign this Fall. A
list of speakers has not been arranged,
neither has an itinerary been discussed
for the campaign, which originally was
scheduled to be opened early next month.
The Fulton-Taft Republicans are pro
testing vigorously against this apparent
apathy on the part of Chairman' Cake,
whose duty, they aver, it is personally to
organise and conduct the campaign. It Is
charged against the State Chairman that
lie has done nothing In that direction
except to issue to county chairmen a
circular letter requesting their co-operation
and suggesting that lists of voters In
their respective counties be obtained and
clubs organized. These letters were. Is
sued a few days after the Taft rally
early in July, when. It was voted to pro
ceed with the organization of Taft clubs
throughout the state.
In Conference AVUh Bourne?
After signing these letters. Chairman
OaJce left for Boston to attend a meeting
of the Knights of Pythias as a delegate
from this state. Between the time of the
conference with National Chairman Hitch
cock at Colorado Springs, and the date of
his departure for Boston. Chairman Cake
was In Portland only a few days. It is
' rumored persistently that, while Cake
may have attended the gathering of his
fraternal brethren at Boston, he has
taken advantage of the trip and called
on Senator Bourne for a mutual discus
sion of political conditions In this state
and the kind of campaign that should be
conducted. Belief that Cake Is hobnobbing
with Bourne only adds to the restlessness
of the Fulton-Taft Republicans, who In
sist that the time has arrived for definite
and decisive action.
Republican workers from the other
counties of the state have been organiz
ing the voters in their respective districts
as best they could without the direction
of a vigorous state chairman. In the
meantime. It Is complained that party en
thusiasm has dropped to a low ebh. while
the Democrats, through the organization
of precinct Bryan and Kern clubs, have
launched an organized and systematic
effort to reduce and. If possible, eliminate
the Republican majority In this state.
Aware of the activity of the opposition,
the Fulton-Taft forces contend that Cake
owes it to the party either to discard any
personal grievances he may entertain and
buckle into the harness and work faith
fully for the success of Taft and Sher
man or gracefully to relinquish the posi
tion to a more aggressive man whose
leadership would not embarrass the mem
bers of his party.
TROUBLES OF A LANDLORD
Pays Ills Respects to Swindling
Tenants Who Won't Pay Rent.
PORTLAND. Aug. 23. (To the Editor.)
The Oregronian's editorial of last Sat
urday deplores th scarcity of liousft for
rent, especially In Willamette Valley
towns, and states as the reason that more
houses are not built for rental, the high
prices for lumber, building material and
labor.
In my opinion the main reasons are as
follows: Mothers permit their children to
CAK
APPARENT
APATHY
GALLING
damage houses by breaking plastering,
tearing papering, scratching woodwork,
breaking windows and In many - other
ways. When a family moves out, nine out
.of ten families leave the houses In a
filthy condition, and there is always a
considerable bill for cleaning up and re
pairs. Coffee grounds, hair, cigar stumps,
broken glass and. crockery are put intovthe
sinks and to(lets, causing the sewers to
become stopped: and a big plumber's bill
is the result. Many families are so filthy
and dirty that they are not fit to live in
a house a sheep corral in Eastern Ore
gon being more suitable for their resi
dence. Then there is trouble In collecting rents,
and the losses. Five out of every ten
families figure on beating the landlord,
the grocer, baker, laundryman, milk and
vegetable peddlers. Thej have little fur
niture, and It is exempt under the law.
They pay the first month's rent to get
Into a house, the second month they pa
a couple of weeks' rent after it is due!
The third month they don't pay. They
are prolific In hard-luck stories, the hus
band out of work, or there is sickness.
Their promises are numerous. They will
promise anything, and. like pie crust,
toese promises are easily broken.
After they get in debt one or two
months to a kind landlord (whom they
will never forgive for his Kindness), 'they
have to be given ten days' written notice
to get out. This will be Ignored. Then
the landlord employs an attorney at
cost of not less than $10. who commences
a suit at a further cost of $2. They hav
seven days to answer. A "shyster" law
yer is employed by the tenant, who first
asks further time to answer in a trifling
Justice Court, gets five days' delay, then
flies a trifling demurrer and gets five or
ten days more. Then he will file an an
swer, and again an amended answer, each
time gaining five to ten days. After
long delay Judgment will be rendered and
the tenant will be allowed three days more
to get out, which he will do. usually do
lng some further damage to pie house and
taking the keys with him. Mr. Tenant
will then remove to some distant part of
the city, and begin the same process of
again working every one he comes in con
tact with. And there is no law to stop
this petty thievery.
These are thejnain reasons why more
houses are not built for renting. The
landlord Is boldly robbed out of two or
three months' rent each time this process
is worked. True, he can get judgment
but he can't collect, because household
goods are exempt up to several hundred
dollars, which is more than the average
tenant, s gooas are worth. Wages, like
wise, are exempt, and cannot be rarni
sheed. There Is no remedy.
If more tenants were honest, if more
were clean and careful in the use of
houses, more houses would be built for
rent ana rents would be lower.
There Is a crying need for better laws
protecting houses from damage and null
ing it a misdemeanor with nnnlshmen
oy nne ana imprisonment for those ten
ants who swindle landlords out of the!
rents a suitable punishment for these
petty thieves.
Then more houses would be built and
rents made cheaper for the decent and
nonesi tenants wno pay promptly.

NORTH END CONDITIONS
Employer Asks That These Women
Be Left Undisturbed.
(This letter is from the proprietor of a.
la rue Industrial establishment- In the North
End. He makes, request that his name he
withheld, and in the circumstances The
Oreronlan prints the letter without his
signature.
PORTLAND. Auk. 21. (To the Editor.)
As a business man and an employer of
female held, in the North End of this city
I want to protest against the Mayor's or
ders to drive the woman of the "under
world from their present quarters. I also
want to compliment our police department
for Its splendid work In keeping this class
of unfortunates so well disciplined, for the
red Upht district' has never been under
mch perfect control since I have been a
resident of this city as at the present time.
For 1ft years T have been dolnr business
In Portland, and'durtn- all these years have
been an employer of female labor. Only
for the existence of such houses as the
Mayor now threatens to close, have I been
able to assure my women help that they
are perfectly safe In coming- to and return-
Ins from their dally work. Now, to satisfy
a few over-zealous people, or for political
purposes, our chief executive says he will
drive this necessary class of unfortunates
from our city.
What will the Mayor do with them? They
certainly still have the right to live. Where
will they go when driven from their present
quarters? What will be the effect upon
other and more respectable localities of our
city ? Will the Mayor guarantee to our
women employes a safe escort to and from
their work Will he agree to be responsi
ble for the safety of our wives and daugh
ters, after he has eradicated this seeming
evil from our city? Will he dare point to
a single city in all our land, with such a
population as Portland now has, where this
social condition does not exist?
I can remember, and so can the Mayor
(If he tries to do so), when these unfor
tunate women were allowed to solicit, un
molested, on the principal business streets
of this city. I can also remember, and so
can the Mayor, when the harlot sat In her
crib door and Invited each passing stranger
into her parlor. I can remember, and so
can the Mayor, when all manner of crimes
were committed In these dives, but thanks
to an efficient police force and give the
Mayor credit, if It Is due these conditions
hav changed. The "North End' is now
as orderly as any part of our city.
As an employer of 40 good women, I pro
test against any such thing as driving these
women from their present abiding place.
Here they are and here let them stay. If
not, the good people of this community will
certainly learn, when too late, what a costly
mistake an over-zealous, ambitious unprac
tical, self-important chief executive can do,
to undo the social, business and moral in
terests of onr great and growing city.

Cost to build, exclusive of heating and
plumbing, $3125. Designed by Glenn L.
Saxton, architect, 242 and 244, Security
Bank building, Minneapolis, Minn.
This home, from the exterior, would
naturally impress one as a cottage, owing
to the way in which the broad side of
the roof in front is treated: but If you
examine It carefully you will notice that
the rooms in the second story are all full
height. In carrying out this idea of treat
ment of the roof, we get away from the
stereotype etyle of a hip or the gable
roof, and not only get a'desten that looks
better, but one that is symmetrical and
harmonious in outline.
The size of the house is 32 feet 6 inches
wide, and 2? feet deep Over the main
part. There is a full basement. The first
story is 9 feet and the second 8 feet in
the clear. Birch floors are used through
out, with Oregon fir finish in the first
story and pine to paint in the second.
If you are looking for a practical plan
covered with concrete. The foundation
covers more space than any structure
heretofore built in this district. The total
cost of the building will be about $100,000.

FACTORY BE ERECTED
Two Acres to Be Occupied by Mill
and fixture Company.
The Portland Mill & Fixture Company
and the Pulley Company, the one on
East Morrison and Seventh, and the
other on East . Water street, will be
united as a large factory on the north
side of Sulllvans Gulch on East Twenty
sixth street. Here two acres were pur
chased several months ago. land the
grading for 'the factory will be com
pleted during the coming week. A side
track from the main line of the O. R. &
N. Company is being built to the fac
tory site. The main building will be of
four stories, 60x128 feet. Beside this
there will be a large dry kiln, several
smaller buildings and a lumber yard.
Manager M. W. Parellus says that the
intention is to beautify the factory
grounds, and the grading is being done
with this In view. The factory will be
on a level with Multnomah street. A
roadway will be built from Multnomah
bridge to the top story of the factory
and to (he third and second stories. The
road will wind around the grounds to
the lower floor. Manager Parelius says
the combined concern will employ 100
men. The Investment will be about
$50,000. For 20 years the Portland Mill &
Fixture plant has occupied the block on
East Morrison and Eighth streets, but
will be moved as soon as the buildings
on the new site are completed.
PARK SITE AT BROOKLYN
Club Wants Three Acres Set Aside
and Improved.'
The tract on Milwaukle and Powell
streets, which the Brooklyn Republican
and Improvement Club Is asking to set
aside for a park, contains nearly three
acres. A corner lot on Powell and Mil
waukee stieets was cut to allow the
streetcar track to reach Powell from
Brooklyn street. The lot has been im
proved by the Park Commission and a
waiting place, fountain and concrete
drinking trough for horses on Powell
street are yet to be provided. The engine-house
occupies one lot facing on
Powell street. A large building, former-:
ly the pumping station of the former
East Side Water Company, stands on
Mllwaukie street. It is used as a store
house by the water committee. The
balance of the ground is not occupied.
It Is conceded that to get the full
benefit 6t this tract for park purposes
the old rtorehouse on Milwaukle street
