COMPETITIVE PLAN UPHELD BY BOARD Civil Service Commission Ob jects to Control by Heads of Departments. REPLIES TO ELIOT'S QUERY Members AgTee That City Employes Should Depend on Merit as Shown by Examinations for ' Promotion in Service. Tlie City Civil Service Commission, at its session yesterday afternoon, considered the matter of promotion by choice of de partmental heads as against promotion by competitive examination, and wenton record as favoring the latter. The ques tion was brought up because of a commu nication from Kev. W. G. Eliot, Jr., chair man of tlie committee on civil service for the Charter Commission, who asked each member of the Civil Service Commission for an expression on this point. That there may be some argument In favor of the plan for promotion by beads of de partments but that competitive examina tions are absolutely essential to the good of the servicer was the decision reached, and this information will be sent to Rev. Mr. Kliot by Secretary Mcintosh, of the Civil Service Commissioners. Present System Is Superior. P. I.. Willis, chairman of the Commis sion, said he would not be favorable to such a sweeping change In the rules as to permit department heads to. promote employes In the classified lists, without examinations. While there may be some good reasons for It, he said, he felt that the present system is far superior, and that, in his Judgment, It should be re tained without material change. Similar views were expressed by W. I Brewster, who said that he Is perfectly willing to be legislated out of office, but that he would prefer to see civil service conducted by some kind of a board or commission. Instead of by one individual, as so much depends upon the interchange of ideas and discussions on subjects aris ing in the course of events. A: great interest has been aroused In civil service In Portland since the subject was taken up for consideration by the Charter Commission, and now that the Commission has declared in favor of some sort of rules and regulations on this matter, there is much conjecture as to what will finally be adopted for the new charter. Much of the time at the last session of the Charter Commission was taken up by the debate upon Civil Service. Discussion Over Civil Service. The difference of opinion as to civil service, was brought out at the meeting: of the Charter Board Tuesday night by Rev. Mr. Kliot to exempt the civil service board from the general and sweeping recommendation of the com mittee on executive, which was to abol ish all boards and commissions. At the last session, there was a strong effort by F. V. llolman to secure the passage of a motion to retain the Park Board, but it failed to carry, and that Board went out with all the others, of which civil service alone has survived. Dr. C. H. Chapman was opposed to the method proposed by Rev. Mr. Kliot of retaining the present civil ser vice commission, and asked "what magic virtue Is there In this? What great virtue, that it should be retained In preference to whatever civil service regulations may be adopted by this commission later?" Rev. Mr. Kliot replied that one of the strongest arguments against gov ernment by commission, such as pro posed In tlie charter now being drafted, is that It furnishes an' excellent oppor tunity for politicians who so desire, to build up a strong machine, and to make all appointments subject to the politi cal wishes of the Mayor and Council, who number eight persons, and who control every department of the city. Declares System Is Good One. Mr. Holman. who Is fighting all along the line t" retain as many features as YOU NEED NOT RELIC OF MANHOOD To he strong and manlv is the aim of every man, and yet how many we find who are wasting the vitality and strength which nature gives them. I"tea.d fje, oping into the strong, vigorous, manly young- fellows that nature intended them to be, they find themselves weak, stunted and despondent no ambition to do anything. They struggle aimlesslv along, sooner or later to become victims of that disease, nervous debility; their "finer sensibilities blunted and their nerves shattered.

I claim o r 1 ginallty, distinc tiveness, s c i e n tific correctness and un approachable success. Every one of these claims Is backed by subrtan tial proof. The best evidence of superiority are the cures themselves. My treatment cures permanently those rases that no other treatment can cure. This test has been made over and over aerain, and a majority of my patients are men who have failed to obtain lasting benefits elsewhere. MY FEE IS ONLY For Any Uncompli cated Ailment YOU PAY WHEN CURED ' Call at the not call, write $10 possible of the present charter, declared that, while the present form of civil service has been tried out under both Republican and Democratic administra tions, it has shown that it Is a good sys tem; and that It has come Into general favor with the public and is highly satisfactory all-round. He said that under the reign of "this oligarchy of seven," there will be the same tempta tion to build a political machine as has always existed, but that, with proper civil service regulations, the "oligar chy" will be curbed and will be unable to carry out any design of that kind. Senator Ben Selling spoke in favor of a civil service commission on the line of giving the Council under the commission system the greatest oppor tunity to improve the service, and ex pressed the opinion that it will be en tirely within, the power of the people to elect honest and capable men, who will administer the affairs of the city In an impartial and highly efficient manner. He believed it right and proper to give these Councllmen the right to discharge without stint all employes under their care, for reasons other than religion or politics. Senator Gearin and T. B. Wilcox spoke In favor of ample protection by civil service, and the vote upon the. question carried by 9 to 4. The Commission adopted the section of the report of the committee on exec utive as to the assignment of one Councilman to one department of the city, of which there are to be seven; the Mayor to appoint a Councilman to supervise each department and to be held responsible for the conduct of such department. The Mayor is to have the power to shift the Councllmen, so as to change their work for any rea son, and Is not to be required to ex plain his act In so doing. Appointing Power of Mayor. There was a division of opinloln as to the advisability of giving the Mayor the appointing, power, and upon shar ing such power with the Council. John V. Logan contended that the power to appoint should be vested in both Mayor and Council, while Mr. Holman argued that it is by far the best prin ciple to fasten appointments upon the Mayor, holding him responsible for re sults, and particularly so In this case, inasmuch, as the power is given the Mayor to appoint the Councllmen to the charge of the several city depart ments. "By some mW'acle, it seems to me that Mr. HolmanMs right." said Dr. Chapman, "and I think I will vote with5 him on this point." "You mean that, by some miracle, you think he is right?" queried R. W. Montague, and there was general laughter, as Mr. Holman and Dr. Chap man seldom agree In charter matters. Dr. Chapman being strongly In favor of the commission plan and Mr. Holman being inclined to hold fast to the pres ent system.. There was considerable debate on the question of whether the Municipal Judge should be elected or appointed, and the members finally voted to leave the election of this official to the peo ple. There was even more debate as to the City Attorney, with the result that the vote committed the commission to appointment by the Mayor. It was argued by some, particularly Sigel Grutze. that It Is of the utmost Import ance to have a legal adviser whose opinion will not be biased by political wishes of the appointing power, and he declared that it is important that this office be left to the election by the people.

P all or BRIDGE PLAN Citizens Indorse Project as Outlined by Modjeski. ONLY ONE PROTEST RAISED C. K. Henry Objects to Additional Span Across Willamette, but Con- . . ference at Commercial Club Is Otherwise Unanimous. Only one protest against the pro posed construction of another bridge across the Willamette River in this city was offered last night at a conference between representatives of the North East Side Improvement Clubs and the members of a special bridge committee, representing the City Council. The single objection was presented by C. K. Henry, who insisted that the city au thorities could arrange with the rail road interests for the reconstruction of tlie Steel bridge on a basis that would meet the demands of the East Side peo ple for Increased transportation facili ties across the river. The temper of last night's meeting was such as to leave no doubt that the East Side clubs will recommend to the Council the construction of a bridge of the bascule type, as recom mended by Civil Engineer Modjeski, at a cost of $1,380,000. and which would be of sufficient height to permit nearly all of the craft plying on the river to pass beneath it without opening the structure. The subject will be discussed further at another meeting of the North East Side Clubs to be held to morrow night In the Woodmen of the World Hall, Rodney avenue , and Rus sell street. Judge Munly said that one of the prin cipal objections that had been urged to the building of another bridge at this time was because of the amount of the bonded indebtedness of the city. Re plying to that objection, Judge Munly cited figures showing that the bonded in debtedness of many cities whose popula tion and assessable values were no greater than Portland was largely In ex cess of that carried by this city. Ho Insisted that Portland was not excess ively In debt considering property valua tions and the population, which he de clared exceeded 200,000, based on school attendance and the registration. In answer to questions, Mr. Modjeski replied that the additional cost of a bridge 70 feet wide. Instead of 60 feet wide, as recommended In his report, would be about one-sixth of the cost of the original structure, or about $200,000 more. With ordinary care, Mr. Modjeski said, such a bridge as contemplated in his report would last for 60 years. Mr. Henry protested vigorously against the building of the proposed bridge, which would be not more than six blocks below the Steel bridge, on the ground that' It was not essential, in view of the fact that the present Steel bridge could be reconstructed so as to afford the relief sought to be gained by the building of another structure.

Joseph Buchtel argued that the enlarge ment of the Steel bridge, suggested by Air. Henry, would not relieve the con gested situation at all and would not prove an accommodation to the people living north of Sullivan's Gulch. Others to discuss the subject in a simi lar vein were: W.

Nature's Cure Oh! the grinding, nerve - rasping pain! The tender, aching muscles, the swollen, burning Joints, the stiffness, the - soreness. "Oh, rheu matism, ye thousand devils, how gladly would I part with you." And he swallows a drug, which the devils like, and the rheumatism marks him for its own. He becomes a chronic drug shop after awhile, and you can tell him by the knots on hl3 hands. When you feel that grinding pain in your joints you can appreciate the reelings of a man burned at the stake or having his bones broken and twisted o n the rack. It is m e r ciless, sleep destroying, agonizing. It lets up at times for an hour or two, only to turn loose again more piti lessly than ever. It leaves one Joint and moves to an other with dou bled Intensity. It eats up all your vitality, ex hausts your pa tience, and unless you conquer it by u s I n elec tricity, which is the only remedy on earth that will cure it, it may reduce you to a chronic rheumatic cripple, with joints en larged, twisted and deformed, and strength enough only to limp around. Rheumatism gives many warn ings and it Is easv to cure If you begin in time. When you feel the first stiffness In your knee joints, shoulders or back. If you attack it then you can easllv drive it out of your body. But if you let these "come and go"' pains come often they wfll settle down and stay with you. Cure them at first and you will be saved much needless suffer ing. You can cure rheumatism by removing the cause. Now you know that the cause Is In the fail ure of the kidneys to filter the blood. The kidneys are weak. They need strength and they get that only from Electro-Vigor. You could take all the drugs that were ever made and they would not give youi kidneys an ounce of strength.
