EACH CANDIDATE TARGET
P'ontttiaed from Prat Pr.
employe of the city at I1S0 a month
who could not earn ITS a month any
where else.
Again quoting statistics. Mr. Werlein
said that the present outstanding; In
debtedness of the city Is I8.7U.500.
with other bond Issues authorised
which will bring the grand total up to
Slt.4M.S0O. I'nder the provisions of
the .charter, which provides that the
total bonded Indebtedness of the city
shall not exceed 7 per cent of the total
assessable value of property. Mr. Wer
lein pointed out that the maximum of
bonded Indebtedness In this city waa
limited to f U.ITO.OOO. or only $;.7i.00
more than has been Issued.
He promised that as Mayor he would
keep the expenses of the city within
the present tax levy.
Cremator Removal Urged.
Discussing the present charter fur
ther. Mr. Werlein pointed out that
there was no provision In that Instru
ment fixing the location of municipal
garbage crematories. Such Institution,
he said, could be located outside of the
corporate limits of the city, where they
belonged, ridding the city of the
menace of bubonic plague Imminent
under the present unsanitary system.
After commending: the bank deposit
feature of the city charter, which
earned the city $3t.vf4 In Interest on
city fund, last year. Mr. Werlein fald
that If elected he would "protect the
young manhood and the young woman
hood of the city from the 'dive and
pitfalls with which they have been con
fronted by seeing that everyone of these
Iielt-holes Is wiped out of existence.
Three) Needs Seen.
"Three things are needed in Port
land. said Mr. Lombard, who followed
Mr. Werlein and likewise spoke for 10
minutes. They are a clean Council, a
commission form of government and
an efficient business administration.
Ulven the first two. the third will fol
low a a natural result.
When the present charter was
adopted. Portland had a population of
KmlOM and one office building, the Cham
ber of Commerce. The charter may have
been practicable and sufficient to meet
11 needs of the city nine years ago. but
conditions have changed greatly In the
meantime. The result is that today this
charter Is obsolete and old-fashioned
ind a general demand exists for a cora
ailssion form of government. Since our
charter waa adopted In 1V4 over 100
cities In this country have adopted such
a system, and none of them has gone
back to the oid plan.
Paving Trust Rapped.
"Our present charter Is obsolete If for
no other reason than that It makes and
creates the paving trust by the very
system that Is prescribed for maklnj
street Improvements. I'nder the char
ter the Council Is directed to designate
the kind of material with which the Im
provement Is to be made, doing away
altogether with competition.
He argued that the only .way to In
sure having the city's business properly
and Intelligently administered waa to
place It In the hands of a few men who
would give their entire time to the work
and be remunerated adequately by the
city.
Mr. Lombard said the commission
plan of government was favored by
Mayor Simon. ex-Mayor Lane. John K.
O'Shea. member present Executive
Board, and I- Lang, of the Park Board.
"Public office supposedly Is a public
trust," continued Mr. Lombard, "but la

MR; WILLIAM ClMMI0 STORY ASO SIRS.
C I MDE.T.
MATI1EW
SCOTT,
the City of Portland public office Is a
private trust. There Is no bigger trust
In Portland than the City Council. The
Mayor's power Is negative. The Coun
cil has greater powers. The Mayor can
not Institute a reform or expend a cent
of money unless It Is ordained by the
Council."
"Third Hon." Scored.
Mr. Lombard reiterated his charge
against the "third house." consisting
of representatives of the paving trust
and public service corporations, that
In Important matters it influences and
controls the City Council against the
best Interests of the people. He ad
vocated the Ellis paving amendment,
but opposed the f 1.000,000 bond Issue
for a municipal paving plant.
"I would like to know who are go
ing to be elected to the Council, any
way, before I would be willing to vote
for another tl. 000. 000 to be expended
by the Council." he said.
"So Craft" Is Promise.
"The detective force In this city needs
readjustment as badly as the Police
Department. There will be no graft In
Portland with me as Mayor If I can
find It. I stand for clean government
nd not for graft. As a candidate for
Mayor. I stand on my record as an ex
member of the Council and as a busi
ness man."
In the ten minutes allowed Mr. Wer
lein to conclude the discussion, he
pleaded for a thorough trial of the
present charter, although he agreed
that among his first acts aa Mayor
would be the appointment of a com
mittee of IS citizens to Investigate
and report to the people a plan for
commission government.
