Major Sltnona Candor Contrasted W ith Evelon and Past Perform ance of Hoshllglit. roRTUXD, May 2L (To the Edi tor) Definite announcement by Mayor Simon of hla position on the. coromls alon form of city government and on all public queatlon Is In marked colli traat with the remarkable ailcnee main tained by Mr. Rushlight on every ques tion In which the public la eot.oemed. If anybody will point out any definite position Mr. Rushlight baa ever taken on any Important ubject In which tba public la tntereated It would be well to let tha public know what It la. Per hapa Mr. Ruahltght does not know where be stand on any of these great public questions. On tha contrary there Is no doubt where Mr. Simon standa on every public question. No man baa the power of dear, direct etateroent better than Mr. 81m on. and when he says anything there 1 no mistaking hi meaning. There la no waste of word In his public utterances on any subject. In conversation a Republican thla morning aald." Mr. Rushlight certainly lost his opportunity when he pet mltted Mr. Hlmon to make bis definite announcement first In The Oregonlan this morning that he stands for the commission form of government. Mr. Kusblight's statement on the same sub ject Is uncertain, evasive and elusive, and It may mean several things or nothing at all. I had Intended to vote for Mr. Rushlight, but I cannot sea how he can expect the votes of the people Interested In the progress and welfare of Portland when he absolute ly refuses to take the public Into hla confidence and tell what he atands for. This la an age of publicity, and a man who entera a campaign for a high office and endeavora to conceal hla position on all public questions carinot expect to serurt the confidence of the public. I'nder Mr. Hlmon we shall get the commission form of sov ernment. for Mr. Simon says so Oils morning In The Oregonlan. What does Ma Rushlight ay on the subject? Practically what he aa) on all public questions absolutely nothing definite. The City of Portland cannot afford at this ttma to elect a man aa chief executive orho refuses to take the public Into his confidence. tuch a man Is dangerous to public progress. The best that Mr. Rusbllitht can do la to copy Mr. Mimon and make his an nouncements, but that will b attended with suspicion of his motives. There are several things which the public, know about Mr. Rushlight as Councilman from the Seventh Ward. He fought to prevent tha Introduction of the compeung ewer company' cement product. The property owner of the Brooklyn sewer district paid a tribute a premium of not less than ooO or liOO.OuO to the sewer trust, w hich wsa tinder the protection of Mr. Rushlight. They paid the top prlra for every foot of ewer laid In thla great district, and It remained for an other Councilman. J. T. Kills, to break the grip of tha eewer trust, but after all the great aewer contracts had been let In the Brooklyn aewer dis trict. These contracta aggregate about l.'.OOO.eo". without a single competing bid until the Holgate - Kenllworth sewer was let for nesrty liil.ono lea than the first bid of fUO.OoO. for the sole reason than the cement aewer people were allowed to enter Into com petition against Councilman Rush light's protest and opposition. On thl single contract the property owisr made a big saving, but no thanks to Mr. Rushlight. Had there been the same competition In all the aewer con tract In the Brooklyn ewer district, where the cost run up Into the mil linns, the savin can ba estimated at from IS to :S per cent. The price of sewer pipe was considered In the early history of the Brooklyn sewer district nil property owners were assured that the prlcea would be reasonable and that there would be no advance. What was the result? Not a single estimate given of the probable cost of the sewer to the individual property owner but was Increased from 10 to Z per rent. The sewer trust literally skinned the property owners all along the line. Jn Feurer'a Addition the cost ran above fioo. whereas they were told It would coet ISO and fi) a let, but that I tbe same story all along tha line. The property owner In the Brooklyn district had absolutely no protection from the prices of the ewer trust, and the only reduction la cost made In any of tt? great contracts In this district waa the 1:0.000 made on the Holgate-Kenllworth contract, after the cement people bad been allowed to bid against Mr. Rushlight's opposition. He was profoundly silent while these con tracta were being let without competi tion, and on the appearance of a com peting company In the Held Mr. Rush light got busy In his opposition. As soon aa Mr. Simon got Into offlca be laid hi hand on tbe paving com panies and tha sewer trust a welL W hat waa the result. Cost of paving streets went down IS. -5 and even 40 per rent, and It stays there. And Mayor Simon did thla for the property owner. He baa saved In the single Item of pavement not less than Ijoo.OOO to the property owners of this city. He has held down the prlcea of paving. He favored the competing aewer company and said let It In. It would be well for the property owner of the Brook Ivn sewer district to bunt up their sewer assessment notice before they vole for Mr. Rushlight. There Is one sublect on which they need not be In doubt, and that la Mr. Rushlight position on the sewer trust question.

EXCURSIONS ARE FORMED Western Delegates to Jonrney From Chicago on Special Train. Choice of Routes) for Return Trip Is Added Attraction. Eastern delegate to the annual con vention of Christian Churches, to ba held In Portland from July 4 to 11. will travel to Portland on a special train, leaving Chicago Tuesday. June 27. The Itinerary provides for a acenle and Instructive trip through tha most Inter esting part of the territory between the two cities, allowing stopovers at several places to permit the traveler to view the sights. From Chicago to Omaha the train will operate over the Chicago A North 'Weatern, to Denver over the Union Pacific, to Ogden over the Denver A Rio Grande, to Huntington over the Oregon Short Line, and to Portland over the O.-W. R. at N. tracka. The train is due to arrive In Portland at 10 o'clock the morning of July 4. One day will be spent In Denver, a day In Colorado Springs and Manltou. and a day In Salt Lake City. Side trips from each of these plscee are now being arranged. Diverse routings over any of the north ern lines will be allowed the passenger after leaving Portland. A round trip fare of from Chicago ha been provided, with correspondingly low rates from ail Eastern points. Thl excursion la being organlied by Ihe publisher of the Christian Standard. f Cincinnati, and will carry many of the church dignitaries as well as a large number of the leading delegatea from the Eastern states. Retween The Dalles and Po-tland the option of '.raveling on a Columbia River steamer Is offered. While thla train will be the principal special that will run Into the city for the church convention, other trains on other line will carry hundreds of dele gates. It la likely that the Chicago spe cial will bring most of the delegate from point east of that city. Those from the Mississippi- River state, the Rocky Mountain regions and the South, as well as those from the Coast states, probably will organise Independent excuralon par ties. The very low rate offered by the ra'l roada for this convention are Induce ments to bring delegatea to Portland. "A convention like this Is one of the best advertisements thst the state can have " aald John M. Scott, assistant gen eral passenger agent of the Harrlman lines, yesterday. "We shall endeavor to take the visitors to the' farming districts and the small towns of the state-and Interest tbem. If possible. In Oregon In dustries. While we do not expect any of the delegates to remain permanently when they come here In July, it ha been the rule that many of them be come determined to locate In Oregon and eventually come here to live. The railroads expect to handle more than Si" visitor Into Portland for the Christian Church convention. LAND ON R1VER FRONT Writer Favors Independent Charter Traffic Entering; This Port- PORTUXD, May 23. f To the Edi tor.) In the "Election Task for City Voters" In The Oregonlan ox yesterday, this advice la given: Ordinance proposed by Initiative pe tition divesting the city of power to dispose f waterfront property within ooo feet of navigable water or other city property within 1000 feet of any terminal yard or depot. This messure would prevent the city not only from giving away but from ellln any city property that might be more valuable to the community at large as well as to the company desiring It if used for railway Instead of municipal purposes. It would effectually stop Portland's growth as a railway terminal. 3 Yes. 117 No." Portland' growth a railroad terminal will be determined by the amount of traffic to be obtained here, and tha degree of It availability and freedom of movement. And the object of the amendment referred to Is to In crease the amount of traffic by remov ing any existing discrimination against any Independent charter traffic enter ing the port, and lessen the possibili ties of such being created in the future. It will do this by Increasing the avail ability of cargo for any line. Inasmuch as It forbid tha further transference of municipal property on the water front to monopolistic ownership. This proces ha proceeded much too far already. The railroad companies have half the waterfront In the city, much of which I not used. The city has but the end of a few. a very, few streets, and the possession of even these Is disputed. It has rights to lands between the meander and harbor lines, also claimed hy railroad com- True Beauty Without Powders or Cosmetics (From Art In Dress.)

The harbor'a. development as a water terminal. Is of as much consequence as the development of railroad ter minals. The water routes are common, and admit Independent or "charter" traffic; consequently, the municipality should provide a common water ter minal. To do this, the city will need all It has and more. The railroad companies will secure all the terminal facilities they need. The city does not have to give them anything, and shonld retain title to all It has left. Where It is necessary for railroad companies to use streets, fran chises can ba given, as this amendment defines. Such property Is better owned by the city than by private owners, since mu nicipal ownership renders It available to all shipper on equal terms, while private ownership means monopolistic ownership.
