Mayoralty Candidate Says
Company Seems Loath to

'SUBURBS ARE NEGLECTED

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.

Ml RESISTS TAX
WKLI.S-FARGO SC1T HEARD BE
FORE Jl'DGE M'GIXX.
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.
They succeeded in serving their war
rant, however, and In Municipal Court
yesterday the defendant secured a con
tinuance until May 2.

Oakland Demands That Re
sponsibility Be Fixed.
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.

COl'XTY COVRT GIVES VERSION
OF JUDGE'S DECISION.
Regular Closed Period May Not Be
.Fixed but Operatives May I'se
Discretion.
WHAT THK rEOPTLB LOST.
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.

When, the last letter received by
