THE MORXIXG OREGONIAX, SATURDAY, APRIL 29, 1911. 12 DMBARD SCOLDS STREET RAILWAY Mayoralty Candidate Says Company Seems Loath to Spend Money. 'SUBURBS ARE NEGLECTED Franrbls Frovlsloos 'Will Be Kn forced, II Says. If He I Klort rd Portland' Chief Executive. Criticism of the street tllT eom rnr for inadequately serving the u bur-ban dlatrlrta and advocacy of the -purchase of the Woodnitn water plant try the city for its actual run value were features of an address bjr Oar I-ombard at Kara Park last night. Mr. Imburd again declared himself for a commission form of government, which, ho said, he would labor to secure for toe city In (frnt of him taction. Tho City of Portland gave a velo abla fraarhlsa to tho street railway company for a nominal consideration, aid Mr. Lombard, dlprusstng what ha declared was an Inadequate streetcar aerrlra to tho ontlylng districts. "That franchise contained a provision that the Council should rejrulate tho serrlco by the railway company to tho end that tho city might bo furnished a satisfac tory service. Today tho suburbs art not receiv ing an adequate serrlco. Tho reason la because ths railway company Is in-wining- to spend money necessary for additional equipment. It refuses to Im prove tho serrlco because of the cost Involved la providing tho additional equipment. It makes the further ex cuse that It cannot get more cars with greater rapidity than It Is doing. I am not willing to beliere this statement, for If the corporation will appropriate the money for the cars I do not think It will have any trouble In getting Its orders for new cars filled with, dis patch. "The serrlco now provided the out lrlng districts by tho streetcar com pany la a dtserace to the City of Port land. It elected Majror I shall se to It that the provision In the railway com pany's franchise, giving the Council authority to force the corporation to give a better service. Is enforced to the, end thst the complaint now Justly ex isting la tho outside districts Is re moved. "The people of this section of the city are especially Interested In the proposed purchase by the city of the Wood-tiers water plant. Mount Scott was annexed and became a'part of the dry In 190 and Is yet without Bull Unn water suppty. I firmly believe thst every section of the city Is en titled to and should receive a supply of city water. "Ai to the purchase by the cltr from Oeorgo TV. Brown of the Woodmere water plant. I will say that this prop erty should be taken over by the mu nicipality at Its true cash value only. Instead of paying the sum of $30,000 for this private property, the plant should be appraised by a committee of competent persons end the figure by them agreed upon should be accepted s the consideration to be paid by the city. There Is no reason why the cltr should pay Mr. Brown anything for his good will. If the city extended water mains lcto this district. It remains that the rood will of the owner of the 'Woodmere plant would not be worth anything. In the purchase of this property, the city should be required and expected to pay only the true cash value of the system." J. E. WERLEIX KXTEItS PROTEST C andidate Sajs lie Also Wants Com. mission Form of Government. Referring to his announcement in the official pamphlet which has been printed and soon will be mailed to the voters. J. E- Werleln says that he also i advocated a commission form of government for Portland. The copy . for this announcement was prepared and delivered by Mr. TVerleln to the i printer two days before the first Joint debate between him and Mr. I-ombard . at to Masonic Temple. On the sub ject of a commission form of govern ment Mr., Werlela In that stateiueut aid: "The Meyor-elect should appoint a committee of IS members to Investigate thoroughly the commission form of government and without delay report their findings to the people: tho best form or government obtained Is what Portland needa and to attain this end I shall lend my best efforts. "It Is not an "eleventh-hour" con fession on my part, therefore, when I ay I have always been in favor of a -ommlion form of government or any :her plan that will make for the best retuits.- said Mr. Werleln. yesterday. "What T have said during- this cam ralsn la that for the present we must work under the present charter. Its provisions In many Instances have not been correctly Interpreted and satis factorily administered. I'ntll another form of a-ovemment Is provided or the -present charter changed, we must pro ceed under the same basic Instrument we have had since 1903 and make the most of It. LOMBARD RENEWS CHALLENGE Candidate to Make Another Effort for Debate With Ituslillglil. Every effort will be made by Gay JjOmbard today .to arrange for one or more Joint discussions with A. G. Hush light for the concluding week of the -frlmary campaign. Thus far Mr. Kush lirht has evaded any public discussion of the Issues with either of his two Ile joibllraa opponents for nomination for Mayor. It is the purpose of Mr. Lorn l ard to put the proposition right up to :ushltght and force him either to take -part in debate or attain to refuse to meet his rivals before the voters. Mr. Lombard yesterday made an ap pointment for South Portland and will address the voters In that section of the city at Jones nail, front and uibhs streets. Monday night. Mr. Lombard expects before the campaign closes to hold a meeting at Sunnyslde and also one at either Woodlawn or Albina. ates for these proposed meetings will not be arranged until Mr. Lombard bears from his renewed challenge to Mr. Rushlight. SON ACCUSEDAS VAGRANT lather Complains Agalnt Cecil Vaughn and Toons Woman. Vpon complaint or his fattier. Cecil Vaughn, son of ex-Councilman Vaughn. was arrested yesterday afternoon by Police Captain Baty, on a charge of vagremcy. At the same time, in a rooDilng-houaa at Fast Third and tat Bvivnaldo streets. Florence Legson. 19 yare old. was arrested by Patrolman lilrsch. on the same charge, made by the same complainant. The arrnsis are said to be the result of the elder Vaughn's efjort to break up an association between the young peop.e. In pursuance of which he was confronted by a revolver In the bands tt his son Thursday nlaht- Toung Vaus;hn is a chauffeur and his associations In that relation sre said to have led him Into habits that have distressed his relatives. Ills name was connected with those of roadhouee proprietors In a recent trrand Jury In vesttrration in which Indictments were found.

State Tax Commissioner Testifies Only Property Vsed In Express Ilnslnrss Was Assessed. I Whether the Wells-Fargo "Express Company will escape paring approxi mately 114.000 to Multnomah County in taxes on the company's office building at Sixth and Oak streets and its barn on Block 110. Couch Addition, will depend upon the final ruling of Judge McGinn In the suit tried before him yesterday, at tar kins; the county's right to tax property of the corporation. Combined with the suit against the county Is one Involving the application of the com pany for a reduction of the assessment made by the State Tax Commission on the property used by the company in operating Its express business. Deputy District Attorneys rllxgeraid and Dennlson presented records tuat tended to Involve the company in an effort to escape paying any taxes what ever on its office building, valued by the company at 7S.7M.S::. Notwithstanding the fact that the State "Land Commission had placed a valuation of the company's property at only l:SM.91S. the effort of County As sessor Slgler to assess the big office building for lill.000 and the barn at I2.U00. brought out the contention of the company that the state in its as sessment of property, had Included the big building and barn, and that to pay taxes on these to the county would be double taxation. The company also contended that the law requiring the State Tax Commission to tax the prop erty used by railway, express, telephone and telegraph companies Included all property owned by the companies in the state and that none of It could be taxed by the county. State Tax Commissioners Galloway and Eaton attended the trial yesterday and Mr. Galloway went on the witness stand and testified that the Commission assessed only such property of the Wells-Kargo Company as the company actually used In Its express business, and left all other property to be as sessed by the counties in. which it was found to exist. The onsy part or trie Wells-Kargo building assessed by the Slate Tax Commission waa that used by the company as offices. That the company was not acting in good faith was charged by Mr. Fitz gerald. He turned to the report of the Wells-Fargo Company to the State Railroad Commission. June 3. 1909, In which was the following paragraph: -la addition to the real estate and bulldlnrs used In operation, listed on pane lb a. this company owns an office building in the City of Portland which Is occupied almost exclusively by out side parties. The. value of this building Is $TS.7"H.S2.- Mr. Fitzgerald challenged the com pany to make this record agree with the one found-In the report to the State Tax Commission, in which it was al leged that the building was used by the company for its express business. Wallace McCamant made a long plea to the court, in which he maintained that the State of Oregon was assessing Ms company a higher rate per mile than other states, and for that reason he asxed that the assessment of $28S. MS. made by the State Tax Commission, be reduced. What rlaht the company has to claim the right to be assessed less than I2S8.91S for all Its property In the state of Oremn. Including Ita local office building. Mr. McCamant will be permitted to show in a brief the court has given him permission to file. The state also will file briefs. If the Wells-Fargo Company wins Its case, the share of Multnomah County will be only IS040. while if the county wins. It will receive the last quoted sum. In addition to about $14,000 for lo cal taxes. WOMAN IN CLUTCH AGAIN Julia Kaj Gets Continuance In Liquor Selling Case. With convictions for selling liquor without a license and running a dis orderly bouse, hanging over her head on appeal to the Circuit Court, Julia Kays. 79 West Park street. Is again under arrest, charged for a second time with the illegal sale of liquor. The woman, whose house wss on the list of disorderly places In Detective Mahers list of 10S reported to the grand Jury, waa one of those caught In a police campaign against the holders of Federal liquor licenses who have no city license. She was fined $100 last week and took an appeal. A few days later, upon complaint of her neighbors, she was placed on trial for keeping a disorderly house, and wss convicted and fined $50, the evidence bringing out allegations of money be ing paid by her for "protection." Again she appealed. In the meantime a mem ber of the police force succeeded In buying liquor In her house and a new warrant was issued. Patrolmen Shaf fer and Johnson went to serve the war rant, but when Mrs. Kays answered to their knock, she saw who wss at the door and slammed it in their faces.

COMMISSION PLAN TRIED Socialists Succeed In ' Xomlnatln Candidate for Mayor Class of Men Chosen to Make Itaee Has Proved Disappointment. Oakland Is the largest city In the eountrv to have adoDted the eommls slon plan of government," said John T. Bell, of Oakland. Cal.. who is m.i-ori- land. the guest of his daughter, airs E. R. Lyman, on Portland Heights. "We make claim to 160.000 people and I do not know of another place of that size In the country where the plan has been accepted. We voted In the com mission plan several months ago, and held a primary April 18 to select can didates. "There were only 12 offices to fill, yet the primary ticket had 0 names on It. The ballot does not indicate the men's politics, but the names are arranged In alphabetical order. "Of the 0 names we have chosen 2 two for each office to vote upon at the city election to be held May . rne nresent Mayor and a Socialist are op posing candidates. The outcome la looked forward to with raucn interest "How did we come to decide upon the commission form of government? It wss this way. Taxes had grov-B to be $S.0 on each $100 valuation. i ne 11 members of the City Council were extravagant. Paving contracta were viewed with suspicion. The irresponsl blllty of the city government waa evi dent and the members of the Council were notoriously connected with busi nesses that reaped benefits indirectly from the letting of city contracts ana the passing of city legislation. "The neoole could not find any one who was responsible for the $3.0 per $100 charged on the tax rolls. It was a heavy burden and they finally de cided upon the commission plan be cause It gave direct responsibility. "The result of the primary has not been entirely satisfactory, for most of the candidates are little known In the community. We had expected a higher grade of men would be chosen. But It may be that the responsibility placed on those elected will cause them to prove good officials. Socialist Wins Nomination. "The fact remains that the Socialists ran In one of their number as a candi date for Mayor against the Incumbent. The Socialist is named Booth. He Is not a bad man. He has lived In Oakland for years. He lost his legs years ago and opened a small repair shop, where he developed his business until now he has a large electro-plating plant, which employs a good many men and to whom he pays the highest wages. The present Mayor has served six years. He is one of the best officials we have ever had. He Is active and keen, and has done more for Oakland than any man who has served the city in years. The out come is doubtful. "The causes which led to the adop tion of the commission plan were high taxation, lack of responsibility as to individuals holding office, a demand for quicker action on city business and a desire to eradicate Councilmen who fatten on odd Jobs." "Berkeley, nearby, has the commis sion plan and so far as I know It is popular, regardless of the fact that they have elected a Socialist Mayor. They say direct responsibility will work wonders In Oakland. I am not so sure of It. I am wHIIng to accept the new law on probation.

The rlsht to prescribe a definite closing period In the evening. WHAT THK PEOPLE GAINED. The light to refuse to open the draw at any time If the traffic on ths bridge warrants It- County Judge Cleeton and County Commissioner Llghtner have Issued a statement to the public regarding tho draw-bridge controversy, fn which they give their understanding of Judge Bean's decision. The statement is as follows: "We are under the Impression that the public and the press have misunder stood the effect of the ruling by Judge Bean in the trial of the case of the United States vs. the County Court, Just concluded, and to give the public what we understand to be the law as laid down by Judge Bean and its effect upon the bridge controversy is the occasion for this statement. "In the first place, the County Court never attempted to establish a closed period for the evening hours which waa to be absolute, but Instructed the bridge operatives to observe, as nearly as pos sible, the time called the closed period when the traffic was most heavy, ha-i- ing due regard to the travel across the bridges and the commerce on the river and that they should use their discre tion In all cases so as not to cause an unreasonable delay to any vessel after it had signaled for the draw and that an unreasonable delay must depond upon the state of the traffic on the bridges and that if the traffic was such that a boat could be accommodated by opening the draw during the so-called closed period, to accommodate it. This was the evidence in the case which was submitted to the Jury as borne out by the records of the trial. 'All of this has been declared by Judce Bean In his instructions to the Jury to be the law. The only point in the controversy which was decided ad versely to the contention of the County Court Is that the Court has no right to establish a closed period for the busy hours of the day which strictly con strued, would mean a period of closing regardless of the travel on the bridges during the time of that closing. But this is a distinction rather than a dif ference from what the County Court has determined, for the reason that the refusal to open the draw was. at all times under the direction of the County Court and not based upon the Judgment and discretion of the bridge operatives. 'The law. as announced by Judge Bean, permits the bridge operatives under the direction of the Court to re fuse to open the draws upon signal at any hour 'during the day rather than being limited to closing periods or say from 5 to 6:30. which Is an extension rather than a limitation of power. This, of course, must be left to their sound discretion and Is not to be an unrea sonable delay, but in considering what Is an unreasonable delay the condition of the traffic on the bridge In each par ticular case Is to be considered, ana which may. if a prosecution Is had. oe submitted to and taken into considera tion by the Jury who try the case. "So we wish to say that In the Judg ment of the County Court nothing of substance has been lost to the people of the cltv In this trial, but much has been gained. The 'right to take into consideration .the nature of the traffic on the bridge at the time the offense ia claimed to have been committed In determining whether or not the delay in opening the draw was reasonable or unreasonable has been established and this was the paramount Issue and the real gist of the matter In the contro versy and this has been won by the people In the decision of the Court. - "W.
