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.

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.

free from all blemishes and eruptions ; bat when some acid humor takes
root in the circulation, its presence is quickly manifested by some form of
skin disease. The skin receives Its necessary nourishment and strength
from the blood. When, however, this vital fluid becomes a humor-laden
stream, it can no longer preserve the healthy, natural appearance of the skin,
but by its acrid, Impure nature continually irritates and inflames the delicate
tissues and fibres and keeps the cuticle in a diseased and disfigured condition.
External applications cannot reach the blood, and therefore are beneficial
only for their ability to reduce inflammation, and assist In keeping the parts
clean. To cure any skin trouble the blood must be purified of the humors
that are causing the trouble. S. S. S. drives out the humors from the blood
so that the skin, instead of being irritated and diseased, is nourished by a
healthy, cooling stream. S. S. S. goes down Into the circulation and
removes every particle of impure matter, all acids and humors, and restores
the blood to its normal, pure condition,, thereby curing every form of skin

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

Tou can depend upon a quick and
thorough cure by my treatment. A
quick cure is desirable because a
slow cure is apt to be no cure at
all, and a chronic development will
come later. I cure you beyond the
possibility of a relapse and in half
the usual time required.
Reflex Ailments
Often the condition appearing to
be the chief disorder is only a re
flex ailment resulting from some
other disease. Weakness sometimes
comes from varicocele or stricture;
skin and bone diseases result from
blood poison taint, and physical and
mental decline follow long-standing
functional, disorder. My long ex
perience in treating men enables me
to determine the exact conditions
that exist and to treat accordingly,
thus removing every damaging
cause and its effects.

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

D. L. Povey and H. El Heppner. The

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.

"All that Is necessary Is for you East
Side people to make up your minds what
kind of- a bridge you want and where you
want It and then ask the people for it,"
suggested Councilman Cottel during the
lively debate of the conference. "If the
city is willing to spend $1. 000.000 for park
purposes, it certainly will be willing to
vote an equal amount for a utility as
important as a bridge."
