Veteran Ship Owner Says Pub

LOCATION IS TOO COSTLY
O. W. HoKfnrd Pajr Plan Is Futile
Without Proper Switching Fa
cilities and Would Cost Tax
payers Immense Sam.
O. W. Hoiford, part ownr of tha
iMmtri Ooldn Gate. TVeown, Beaver
and G. K. Wentworth. and uperintend
ant of tha Portland A Tillamook Trans
portation Company, beside a veteran
ateamboatman on the Willamette and
Columbia Rivers. charaotrrlies tha
rbema to vote bonds for public docks,
which will be submitted today to vot
ers of Portland, as "the arreatest im
position aver foisted on taxpayers.
"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

BALLOT TITLE MISLEADING
Pon t ba misled by the ballot title.
The measure g'ves the vote to all
women, not to taxpaylng women only.
It Is the same measure which was de
feated in 1 by 1137 Votes. In 190
by 10.171, In 190s by tl.64. and which
should be defeated more decisively this
year because of the attempt to deceive
the voters by a falsa and misleading
ballot title.

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.

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. The day relief, after patrolling
Its beats during the regular hours from
7:15 A. M. until 4 P. M will remain on
duty until 8 P. M. Officers not required
for duty at the polls will be held In
reserve at the citation to answer
emergency calls.
The officers are Instructed to devote
themselves entirely to guarding the Inter
ests of tha public, protecting every citi
zen in his right to vote and enforcing
strict neutrality between factions. The
saloons will remain closed from 1 o'clock
Tuesday morning until 7 o'clock In the
evening, when they will be allowed to
open.
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.

Feature of Salem Convention Will
Be Plans to Receive Newcomers
Into Each Community.
"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. It is being
suggested that 'welcome clubs he or
ganized in each town of the state hav
ing a commercial club. 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.
