6d May Xow He fixed. .
lTnber of the Association of Sailing
ship Owners have aprreed to abolish the
rate?, temporarily, on wheat and barley
eargoes from Portland. Puget Sound and
San Francisco. Tlie action was taken at
a recent mectinz lield in london and
Kivrs shippers an opportunity to encase
nicli tonnage as they may retjulre at rates
which are acceptable to the owners of
vessels. Heretofore union ships were
held for a minimum of S7s Sd for wheat
' for the I nited Kingdom for orders. Steam
tommsc cut under that and the result
was a larse fleet of sailins craft tied
up at the several ports on the Pacific
i "oast.
The- condition of the Brain market in
Kttrope lias not warranted the payment
of more than 2T. shillings for tonnage dur
tna; the past two months. Steam and
nulslde vessels supplied the tlemand and
as a result many union ships were tied
up at San Francisco. Portland and PuRet
Sound. The new move on the part of the
Sailing-ship owners will have a tendency
to reduce the number of disengaged craft
mtTially.
While there is not i-noush wheat in
siaht to put all disengaged vessels in
commission and still take rare of the
' chartered tonnage en route there is
enough to start a number of them for
foreign ports. Ships have been cleared
from Pacific ports for as low a rate as
tt 6 d. or approximately 1 cents a bushel
lower than the present union rate. Own
ers preferred at that time to take the
low rate rather than have .the vessels
Idle. While it Is not anticipated that
anv such rate will be reached at this
time. It is assrted that 20 shillings or
less will tie offered and accepted.
On the Pacific roast at this time there
are 34 vessels on the disengaged list, all
of which are available for grain cargoes.
The visible supply is not sufficient to load
them all. but half of that number will
probably be taken up within the next six
weeks.
One of the principal causes which led
to the action of the sailing-ship owners la
that a number of owners have been
dodging the rules and have accepted
charters under the established rate. The
matter was worked on he round-trip
charter plan. Some exporters allege that
the suspension of rates will not materially
change conditions, while others say that
It will put many of the tied up vessels
in commission.
In the Columbia River the British ship
lyy'.and Brothers holds the record for
length of time in port. She arrived

reached port at Tncoma February 15.

HELP FOR POOR LAUNDRIES
LICENSE COMMITTEE ASKS RE
MOVAL OF OCCUPATION TAX.
Cause tliven Is Increased Price of
Soap. Which Surprises
Concannon.
Recommending tlie passage of ordi
nances driving peddlers from the down
town streets, and making special excep
tions of proprietors of laundries from the
occupation tax law. were the chief fea
tures of the regular meeting of the gen
eral license committee of the City Coun
cil, held yesterday afternoon. The at
tempt to eliminate the vendors from the
main thoroughfares is but a renewal of a
long fight along that line, but the action
looking toward the release of laundrymen
from the law that applies to all other
people in business is new. It will create
a stir in the Council tomorrow, no doubt.
The only reason assigned by Council
man Kellaher. author of the special legis
lation act to exempt laundry proprietors
from the occupation tax is that the price
of soap has advanced to double the price
it used to be in the good old days when
there was a pound In each bar. However.
Councilman Concannon, who; like his fel
low Councilman, Kellaher. is a grocer,
declared that the price of soap at the
Concannon store is the same as in the
dim and distant past. This caused Mr.
Kellaher to sit up and take notice, as
It did several others who were present
"But, Mr. Concannon. you see the bars
of soap now are so small that you have
to take a magnifying glass to see them."
explained Mr. Kellaher. in his most con
vincing manner. -The bars used to weigh
a pound each, and this makes the price
double, you see."
It was suggested that the price of
laundry work has also more than doubled
with the onward. march of time, too. but
Mr. Kellaher. who is chairman of the
committee, ordered the clerk to mark the
ordinance "recommended for passage,"
and it so was.
At present there are 60 laundries paying
the occupation tax. bringing In an annual
sum of 11200. and this amount will be lost
to the city if the Kellaher ordinance be
comes a law.

WILL FIGHT REPEAL
Local Insurance Agents Want
Deposit Law to Stand.
MUTUAL COMPANIES IN LINE
Concerns Already in Field Will lte
i hist Attempt to Lower Bars to
Outside Competitors. Repre
sented In Both Houses.
As might be expected, the mere pro
posal of a bill for the repeal or amend
ment of the law requiring foreign In
surance companies to deposit with the
Secretary of State bonds to the amount
of $50,000 before being allowed to do
business in this state, already lias in
vited the opposition of the old-line
companies and mutual Insurance com
panies, organized and operating under
the laws of the state, that are now in
the field. These same Interests two
years ago successfully prevented an at
tempt either to repeal or amend the
same statute. .
That the deposit law should be
amended Is the contention of the lead
ing business men and heavy property
owners of the city who have taken tho
matter up with the Chamber of Com
merce, which will propose such a meas
ure. They complain that under the
existing restrictions, which keep many
companies out of the state, it Is im
possible for many of the firms carrying
heavy Insurance to place all of their
risks with companies operating in the
state. The same interests favor the
creation of the office of Insurance Com
missioner and a more thorough regu
lation of the insurance business in the
state generally.
The old line companies will oppose
any legislation that will make It pos
sible for a greater number of compa
nies to enter the field and trespass on
their thoroughly established preserves.
Those who desire the repeal of the
deposit law argue under the existing
conditions the 57 non-resident compa
nies operating in the state enjoy what
amounts to a monoply and that the
only chance of obtaining moro reason
able rates of Insurance Is ' to permit
other companies to come into the Btate.
The proposed repeal of the deposit
law is opposed by the mutual compa
nies on less selfish grounds. They de
clare that they will not insist on their
opposition to the measure if they can
be convinced that insurance rates will
be lowered by the Introduction of
other companies into the field. Such
a result, the mutual companies main
tain. Is altogether Improbable, on the
theory that the great majority of the
companies In the outside states are
known as "board' companies, and ad
here to the same schedule of rates that
are exacted by the companies already
operating in the state. These rates, it
is charged, are fixed by the Pacific Board
of Underwriters, at San Francisco.
These same interests will oppose the
plan to create the office of Insurance
Commissioner at the expense of the
state. Instead, they will ask for a
Fire Marshal, whose salary shall be
met by a small tax on the insurance
companies doing business In the state.
Such a law is in -force in Ohio, where
it is said to operate satisfactorily. The
fund for the support of the office is
raised by a tax of one-half of 1 per
cent on the premiums of each Insur
ance company. Such a tax In this state,
it is said. would produce between
$15,000 and $18,000 per annum, or suf
ficient to meet the expenses of the
office of a Fire Marshal.
In the Legislature the mutual insur
ance men will be represented by at
least six Legislators, five In the House
and one in the Senate, who will be ex
pected to look after the Interests of
mutual Insurance companies during
the session. These men are: Senator
Kellaher, of Multnomah; Representa
tives Reynolds, of Marion; Buchanan,
of Douglas; Caldwell, of Yamhill; Greer
and Hlncs, of Washington. Each one
of them is directly Interested in one
or more of the mutual insurance com
panies operating in the state.
MAYOR SENDS TtVD VETOES
ASKS COl'XCIL TO DO WHAT HE

City's Expense.
Having failed in Ms efforts M secure
for the city a right-of-way over certain
property owned by the O. R. & N. Com
pany, sought by the municipality for the
purpose of putting in a sewer. Mayor
Lane yesterday sent to the City Council
a veto message, in which he declared
that his experience In the matter has
resulted In gaining the Information that
some of the Councllmen are in more

he learned while trying to get the com
pany's permission, that the Councllmen
referred to can succeed where he failed,
if they will but apply themselves to the
task, and he earnestly asks them to do
that for the city.
The veto message follows:

The Mayor aiso sent in a veto message
of the ordinance passed at the last Coun
cil session, authorizing the Executive
Board to detail city firemen to each per
formance of theaters. The contentions
of the executive are as follows:
I return herewith Ordinance No. 1866ft, not
approved. This is an ordinance which pro
vides that the Chief of the Fire Department
shall detail a regular fireman to be etationed
at everv performance in any theater, opera
house or other building used for theatrical,
operatic or public entertainment In thia city.
In respect to thlet ordinance I have to say
that In my opinion it Is a measure of spe
cial legislation, for the reason that It forces
the city to do something which It is the duty
of private persms to do at their own ex
pense, and which. If their places of amuse
ment are unsafe, they should be compelled
to do as a matter of public, eafety.
If the city is to undertake the task of
furnishing firemen for every performance to
be given In places of amusement In this
city it will have a large and expensive ttsk
upon its handa. ami it will have assumed a
rcsponeihilltv for certain rl?ki which the
ownere. or operators of such places should
be obliged to themselves aewime.
The Fire Department of the city is organ
ized for the protection of the city at large,
and If a large number of Its employes are
to be detailed to do special duty, to the
benefit of private persons, !hoso persons
should be made to assume the expense thus
incurred. , . .
This ordinance attempts to assicn certain
employes of the city to employment aside
from, and independent of. the public duties
which are required of them by the executive
branch of the city government, which Is re
sponsible for their conduct, and I have Krave
doubts respecting the power or the authority
of ttie Council to enforce fueh a law. 1
therefore return the ordinance for your fur
ther consideration. Respectfully.
HARRY I.ANE. Mayor.
