"I am convinced there; la a desire on
the part of the voters of. this rlty to
hear the Issues in this municipal cam
pals;! discussed by the different candl
datee, eepeclally those seeking election
ae Mayor." said Mr. Werleln. "They
are entitled to that discussion. As for
ray part. I am more than willing to ro
before the people, define my position
cn all questions touching on the ad
ministration of municipal affairs and
Inform the voters what may be expect
ed of me If I am elected.
"Both of my opponenta have made
promises that. If elected, they would
keep the taxes down by inaugurating
reforms In the present system of our
city government. But they are not
specific. They do not undertake to
tell the people how they will bring
about thee reforms and accomplish
tbe retrenchment in public expendi
tures to which they have committed
themselves. What the people would
like to know la how they are going; to
bring these results about.
"I claim to Rave a practical solution
to every municipal problem confront
ing the. people of Portland today and
before-this campaign is ' over I shall
tell Just aa many people aa I have time
to address what that plan Is and how I
propose- to Introduce It tn my adminis
tration as Mayor.
"If agreeable to Mr. Rushlight and
Mr. Lombard and they will agree to
meet with me and discuss municipal
affairs publicly. I would, be In. favor of
holding at least two large -meetings on
the West Side and three on the East
Bide. The time of tbe evening, could
be divided equally among the three)
candidates. I would be. willing to be-v
gin the discussion, but would expect
ten minutes at the close for rebuttal.
The West bide meetings, at least on
of them, should be held In the Armory."

ACTION IS URGED
Taft Sends Reciprocity Bill to
New Congress.
NATION APPROVES, HE SAYS
Dnty to Masses Impels President to
Ask Congress, to Act Without
Delay Agreement Helps Man
ufacturers and Farmers.
WASHINGTON. April S. President
Taft transmitted to Congress a mes
sage ursjlnir early action on the reci
procity agreement with Canada. He
said that he sent this message In defer
ence to popular sentiment and In duty
to the great masses of the American
people. The message follows:
- "To the Senate and House of Repre
sentatives: 1 transmitted to the Sixty
first Congress on January It last, tbe
text of the reciprocity trade agreement
which had been negotiated under my
direction by the Secretary of State with
the representatives of the Dominion of
Canada.
"This agreement waa the consumma
tion of earnest effort, "extending over
a period of nearly a year; on tbe part
of both governments to effect a trade
arrangement which, supplementing as
It did. the amicable settlement of vari
ous questions of a diplomatic and po
litical character that had been reached,
would mutually promote commerce and
would strengthen tbe friendly relations
now existing. '
'Public Opinion Approves.
- The agreement In its Intent and the
terms was purely economic and com
merciaL While tbe general subject waa
under discussion by the commissioners.
I felt assured that the sentiment of tbe
people of the United States waa such
that they would welcome a measure
which would result In the Increase of
trade on both sides of the boundary
line, would open up the reserve pro
ductive resources .of Canada to tbe
great mass of our own consumers on
advantageous conditions, and at the
same time offer a broader outlet for
the excess product of our farms and
manv of our Industries.
"Details regarding a negotiation of
this kind necessarily couia not do maue
public while the conferences were
pending. When, however, the full text
of the agreement, accompanying corre
spondence and data, explaining both Its
purpose and Ita scope, became Known
to the people through the message
transmitted to Congress. It was imme
diately apparent that the ripened fruits
of the careful labors of the commis
sioners met with widespread approvaL
This approval has been strengthened
by further consideration of tbe terms
of the agreement in all their particu
lars. The volume of support which
has developed, sbows that Its broad
national scope Is fully appreciated and
Is responsive to the popular wilL
"The House of Representatives of
the (1st Congress, after tbe full text
of the arrangement, with alt the de
tails In regard to the different pro
visions, bad been laid before It, as they
were before the American people,
passed a bill confirming the agreement
as negotiated and as transmitted to
Congress.
Early Action Is Crged.
"This measure failed of action In the
Senate. In my transmitting message
of January It I fully set forth the
character of agreement and emphasized
Its appropriateness and necessity as a
response to the mutual qeeds of the
people of the two countries, as well as
Its common advantages. I now lay that
message and the reciprocity trade
agreement aa part of the present mes
sage before the Sid Congress, and
again Invite earnest attention to the
consideration therein expressed.
1 am constrained, la deference to
popular sentiment and with a realis
ing sense of my duty to the great mass
of our people, whoee welfare Is In
volved, to urge on your consiaeratioa
early action on thte agreement.
"In concluding tne negotiation, tne
representatives of the two countries
bound themselves to use their utmost
efforts to bring about the tariff
changes provided for In the agreement
by concurrent legislation at Washing
ton and Ottawa.
December Would Be Too Late.
"I have felt It my duty, therefore.
not to acquiesce In relegation of action
until the opening of the Congress In
Ltecember .but to use my constitutional
nrerosratlve slTd convoke the ld Con
gress In extra, eeeslnn In order that
there shall be no Drees: ot continuity
In considering and acting upon this
most Important subject.
A fight In the House over the adop
tion of the new Democratic rules was
Interrupted to permit the reading of the
message. Tie messes; e was listened, to ,
with some Interest, but there was no
aplause at Its -conclusion. It was re
ferred to the committee on -ways and
means. After the message was read in
the Senate, it was referred to the fin
ance committee.

FLOOD DESTROYS GRAIN
LEVEE BREAKS AXD LETS WA.
. TER INTO RICH DISTRICT.
Colusa Basin ' Overflows 25,000
Acres of Grain In-Sacramento
Valley and Ruin Spreads.
COLUSA. CaL. April S. Special.)
The levee of reclamation district No.
108, south of Colusa, broke today near
the Tolo County line and the district
Is filling with water from the Colusa
Uasln. A heavy wind caused waves
which battered away the embankment.
Twenty-five thousand acres of grow
ing grain that would have- made . a
heavy yield will be ruined. ' Probably
not more than 1000 acres will. remain
out of water. Three large dredgers
were rushed to the scene and are try
ing to stop the flood.
Three hundred men have been work
ing night and day protecting the le
vees with burlap, lumber and other
materials, trying to prevent disaster,
but their efforts were rendered futile
by the heavy wind last night, which
caused great waves to beat upon the
levee system. Three days ago . a cut
was made through the dam of another
district to lower water In the Colusa
Basin, but the height was reduced only
eight inches, not enough to remove
danger to crops.
Various reclamation districts have
built levees against floods from the
Sacramento River and back levees to
keep out the water of Colusa Basin.
These districts now extend to Knight's
Landing Ridge, which forms a dam,
and the water cannot escape. Means
will be taken to remedy this, when the
districts will be safe.

last election. Discussing; today hla pro

"I am convinced that the veto bill In
cludes? every wrong method for winning
public opinion In England to rational

destruction Instead of construction Is In
compatible with the Federal solution
which Is the only solution. It Is quite lm-
possible to achieve such a constitutional
rearrangement as is desired without the
co-operation of both great parties.
"The "furious passions that are being
stirred up must make the generous
financing of the new Irish government
and ihe completion of the land purchase
hopeless for many years. To have
coaxed the Tories, to have conciliated the
classes and creeds, this would have been
quite easy. Indeed, thsnks Jo tbe Fed

chiefly responsible, the letiven was al
ready at work, but now we are likely1 to
be undone.
"However, it Is not possible for me to
advance enich views. To do so In this
crisis wquld weaken Mr. O'Brien and his

The Government promises Mr. O'Brien
an opportunity this month to' offer In

Frequent Washing Not
Good for the Hair
William Hummel Dlea. x
WUllam Hummel, a veteran of -the
(Marian Harlow In Woman's Sphere,
"The best method of promoting a
healthy scalp, and a growth of long.
glossy hair. Is to use a good dry sham
po once a week Women find frequent
washing of the head hardens the scalp
and makes the hair brittle,- straggly
and thin. -
"Dry shampooing exercises the scalp
and Invigorates the hair follicles and
when this condition exists the right
amount of oil is fed the delicate tissues
and hair roots and the hair takes on
new life.
"The best dry shampoo powder Is
msde by mixing 4 ounces of orris root
with 4 ounces of therox. A tablespoon
ful sprinkled on the head, then thor
oughly, brushed through tbe hair,
makea the head feel good and gives
the hair a rich, glossy appearance."
