"Up to two years ago not a dock de rived suffclent Income to pay for main tenance, much less provide a reason able Interest." said Captain Hosford yesterday. "1 cannot fathom why tax layers should be burdened with public docks when every laraa shipping house has Its own dock and when cargo ts sold by them, vessels so to thoea docks to load, while th sama Arm a. having vessels consitrned to them, handle the inward cargo on their property. "In the first place, public docks, to fill the requirements of present-day shipping, must be located with a view to bavins; adequate swttchlne; facili ties. Without rail connections they are useless. To minimize the expense to shippers the docks should be built where all transcontinental lines have access, not where the business can be routed by one line or the movement subjected always to terminal chances. Comparison Not Just. -Xaturally. much talk Is beard with reference to public docks at San Fran cisco, but that is not a fair compari son, tial Francisco bad that water front property In pioneer days. Its holdlnjrs then represented almost use less land, but as the port's shipping a-rew It was natural that facilities should be provided and with public sites available. It was comparatively simple. But tha situation here la dif ferent. Kvery foot of property suit able for public docks Is owned by cor porations or Individuals. "To secure that the city must either pay fabulous prices or stand heavy expense In condemnation proceedings. Then It la questionable whether the business could be diverted to pay a reasonable return. Ban Francisco has derived benefits from the growth of tha city, but thera will be no similar opportunities bare when tha start has to ba made oa such an expensive basis. 1t was the same with the 6t. Johns nrydock. The talk at first was that It would provide facilities that would attract ships from all over tha Coast. It does not seem to ma that It has drawn any large volume of business. Vessels would have gone elsewhere It It had been convenient, as the Portland Iock la Isolated so far as getting ma terial and help to it- And today tha taxpayers are not only paying for tha bonds, with Interest, but keeping up the deficit also caused by tha lack of business. Public docks would, in my opinion, result In much the same dls couragement. Business Would Be Local. "Ruslness to the public docks would be purely locaL It Is a system that would not be lar-reacning. ana wneu shipments are moved by rail to tiae water In nearly every case the rout ing through to other points has been made up. and they would be bandied from railroad docks. Goods for the East going by water will be handled by concerns having funds with which to own or lease docks, as they must have to operate steamers, and they would prove no benefit to public docks. -This public dock talk is an agita tion of a few Interests. The taxpayers. in the main not being familiar with marine matters, will not estimate iu ture troubles, but I venture to say that If I was to start today and canvass locally for funds with which to build a small vessel for the Oregon Coast route. In connection with which could show every reason to expect a fair return on the Investment. I would ba compelled to give an absolute guar antee. The same persons are urging the taxpayers to provide public docks. The expense will not fall on them to any extent, and they will reap the benefit of cheap charges and let tha public pay losses. JUDGE TAZWELL SAVES 3 Bccanse Tollce Mad Promises, Jurist Frees Colored Folk. While reiterating Ms announcement that thst be will not countenance the slouching of undesirables upon other cities; Judge TaswelU because a prom tse had been given by the prosecuting officens. gave a "floater" to Mamie Moore, Frankie Brown and EJwood Withers, colored, captured In a Hort- street opium den. Before allowing tha prisoners an opportunity to leave the city. Judge Tszwell sssessvd a fine of J10 against escb of them. Following the usual practice In these cases, the police had limited their efforts to getting admissions from the prisoners such that thry could be driven from the city, and when they agreed to enter a plea of guilty snd go elsewhere they were given to understand that no other penalty would be asked. This arrange ment met with the opposition of the court when the csws csjne to trial Sat urday morning. Judge Taswell ssying that be was opposed to the custom of sending the undesirable element to other cities snd receiving In return the vaga bonds expelled elsewhere. "I believe that every city should take care of Its own.' said the Jitdge." and la the future I shall be very hesitant to give floaters to offenders sgalnst the law BALLOT TITLE MISLEADING Pon t ba misled by the ballot title.

DIDG E PAGT Judge Cfeeton Annuls Contract Made by Port. NEW DEAL MUST BE MADE Court Decides Commlselon Had No Right to Fledge People to Pay for Tpper Deck of O. R. ft N. Span Must Consult County. The contract between the Port of Portland and tha O. R. & N. Company, pledging the people of Multnomah County to pay for the upper deck or the new Karrlman bridge over the Wil lamette, which Is to take the place of the present steel structure. Is void, ac cording to a decision of County Judge Cleeton. handed down yesterday. He said the contract Is not only "null and void." but "unwarranted and without force." The contract as drawn provided that the ownership of the bridge should re main with the railroad company after the people had paid for part of it, and pledged the people to pay the cost of maintenance. "We will throw away this contract," said Judge Cleeton. "There was never authority in law for Its making. The O. R. Jb N. Company must come to the county and make Its contract direct and without the Intervention of the Port of Portland Commission. The county will not contract to pay for the use of that upper deck, any unreasonable sum. Judge Cleeton was led to nullify the contract by the recent decisions of the State Supreme Court and Circuit Judge Cleland. which decided against the Port of Portland In Its effort to quash the Broadway bridge project on the ground that It was master of the city In ma rine matters. Both courts held the con trary. It being now Impossible for the Commission to dictate to either the city or county. CONSTITUTIONS AND LAW Convention Necessary to Formulate legislation. Says Writer. PPRINQFTELIX Or- Nov. 8. (To the Editor.) The proposition discussed In The Oregonlan of a recent issue to hold a new constitutional convention for the state seems sound with all the multi farious fads and proposed legislation before the people. Some of these are doubtless meritorious, but the proper way to sift the whole question and bring It Into a regular system Is to hold a convention of representative men to discuss and prepare the same, and then submit It to the people for their approval- There is plenty or room ror improve ment In some of the new legislation and additions to the organlo law of the state. Above all those persons and In stitutions, financial and otherwise. If they would but consult their true In terests, they would see the advantage of a fair Interchange of views and opin ion, and a proper version of the organ ic law at proper Intervala New York State baa such a system. Why not the , same under proper regulation In all? Of course, a majority vote of the peo ple should be required to pass au5h new constitution or change in the same. It Is now 123 years since the United States Constitution was submitted for adoption. Some amendments are neces sary. Let us have "a new deal on the square" as the Colonel says. Doubt' less It would be the means of saving confusion, and preparing better methods for the expression of tha National will In future. Among the specially lm portant matters for deliberation are the questions of the franchise, the pow ers to ba given to congress, tne natu rallxatlon law, etc. These can most properly be settled through a constitu tional convention. R. J. LONG WORTH. 1 MEW SETTLER WELCOME DEVELOPMENT LEAGUE WILL HAVE "GLAD HAND" BANDS. POLICE TO WORK OVERTIME Every Officer Will Be Kept Busy In Aiding Election. Every police officer in the city will work overtime today, on account of the election, and a patrolman will be sta tioned at every polling place within the corporate limits. An order was Issued by Chief of Police Cox yesterday, direct ing the second night relief, which Is relieved of Its regular duty at 7:16 A. M.. to go at once to duty at the polling places, where the officers will remain until U o'clock. At that hour they will be relieved by the officers of the first night relief, who will continue at the polls until they close.

Further instructions were given by the Chief last night that no deliveries of Intoxicants will be permitted during the closed hours today. The question was raised by brewers who wished to retain the privilege of serving their residence trade during the day without interrup tion. The Chief held that such deliver ies were as much forbidden by the stat ute as sales over the bar. $1,500,000 FOR MISSIONS Methodist Episcopal Church to Spend Much In Next Year. BALTIMORE. Nov. 7.

"Welcome-to-Our-City" clubs will be one of the chief features of the coming meeting of the Oregon Development League to ba held in Salem November 28, 29 and 30. The plans of the man agers are pretentious In the develop ment of the right brand of welcoming to Incoming settlers from the East. It Is proposed to have, as an adjunct to each Commercial Club In the league, bands of men who will welcome the new arrival and seek to provide for his Immediate wants socially or In any other way that he may desire. It is felt among the workers for ' Oregon's future that not enough attention is now being paid to the new arrival and that thoroughly to associate him with the strangers In his new town will tend to make a better citizen and Incident ally a good booster for further prose' lytlng In the East, so as to secure ad ditional families to settle, in the state. "The Oreiron Development League." said Manager Chapman, of the Portland Commercial Club's publicity committee yesterday, "has 118 members and al ready responses have been received from a majority that delegates will be present at the Salem meeting. The work of the league will be cast along lines of general advertising a broad review of Oregon's resources and not of particular betterments.

This committee or club will see to It that the new ar rival is Introduced to all the communi ty. Social gatherings will be held. In which the new settler will be chief guest, and he will be brought Into con tact with all those who have already settled, so that he will feel that he is in reality a member of the community and that all of his former home influ ences are duplicated. We propose to make him a friend, and welcome him Into our home." Special Invitations have Been sent to noted speakers to make addresses dur ing the meeting.
