The obje. t of the leattue I" to an

the Oregon ba!!'t laws, which mem
bers of the league say should be
changed and shortrned. Another meet
Ins; will be held June 14 to begin a
campaign to obtain a rhange In the

Governor Wilson Is president of the
Fhort Ballot Organisation, a National
society, which has been In existence
for more than a year. It has for Its
obe,-t the weeding out of needless elec
tion of official when appointment of
them would serve better. It is also sug
gested by members of the society that
M. percentage of signatures required
for petitions tiled to submit an Initia
tive measure should be made more than
10 per cent of tne total vote as at pres
ent, a measure to place on the ballot
would have to be not only popsrtar. hut
one that has already secured Intelli
gent consideration by the people.
I am heartily In favor of a shorter
ballot." said Senator Selling. -It Is
what w need. 1 have with me the
eample ballot for my vote at the com
ing city election. It contains many
name and 14 Legislative measures. Not
only are the names of some of the men
unfartlllar to me but I am sure that
many of the measure, which It Is de
sired to have become law. are not fully
understood by me. I am going to spend
a good portion of a day to post myself
thoroughly. Then I doubt If I shall be
f'H.y Informed to act with Intelligence.
Vrat I am In favor of Is this a shorter
ballot and a larger percentage of names
for submitting an Initiative measure to
the people. I'nlcss some action similar
to this Is taken It will brln the Oregon
system Into disrepute."
Vote) "So" I I rgrd.
lasagne members declared that they
Relieved attention should be called to
the faults of the present system and
that voters should be warned to vote
"no on aM measures not fully under
stood by them aa an Intelligent vote
was necessary and an unintelligent vote
mlrhl work great harm.
The principles of the league as an
nounced are In part:
"Keen member believes In the Initia
tive and referendum, the recall, state
ment No. 1. the direct election of Uni
ted States Senators, the direct primary,
the corrupt practice act and the com
mission form of government.
"The b.llot should not be Incum
bered with great numbers of measure.
Only questions of general public lm-portnn'-e
should be presented under the
Initiative. Every proposed measure
should be read most carefully and con
sidered by every voter. No voter should
become a party to making a measure a
jaw unless he has actually made h'm
s. If familiar with each and all of Its
provisions. In rase of doubt It Is al
wav, safe to vote 'no.' If a proposed
measure has merit it will stsnd the
test cf time and be presented attain.
.We believe the alarm sounded by
Colonel Itoosevelt and (lovernor Wood
row Wilson la timely. We feel that the
only real danger now for the Initiative
and referendum lies m the over use of
both."

One Thousand Dollars a Day in Taxes
Is approximately what we are paying now. This is more than
double the amount paid by any other company in Multnomah
County. . h
If you are interested in the EXTENSIONS and IMPROVE
MENTS which this wonderfully growirig city demands, this ad
vertisement will have food for reflection for you. Study carefully.
During the past five years many millions of dollars have been
invested to extend and improve the public utilities operated by
thiscompany. Of these vast sums, 99 per cent has been contri
buted by Eastern investors.
These millions of money invested with a faith in the com-munit-,
and with financial courage unparalleled, represent tre-,
mendous confidence in Portland.
" Np man can borrow the full value of the cost of his home.
He can borrow approximately 50 per cent of its cost. The same
principle holds true of all loans, large or small. By the opera
tion of. this company's Bond Mortgage, it canvborrow 75 per Cent
of the cost of its Betterments, its Improvements, its Extensions.
That is for every FOUR Dollars expended for such purposes, it
can borrow three dollare the other dollar mus.t come out of the
earnings. v -
It follows, therefore, that every dollar of added taxation will
prevent FOUR dollars' worth of EXTENSIONS.
An ordinance to be voted upon on June 5th proposes the
additional burden of a 3 per cent tax on the gross light and power
revenues of this company. ' . - ,

With bright and balmv weather, the
vino that always Is expected in May
and June In Portland, myriads of roses
nre now bursting out into nioom. ana
before the end of the week will be
looking their finest for the city's
greatest annual event, the Rose Fes
tival, which opens next Monday. All
apprehension as to the quantity 01
roses has neen ampeueu u.
rains ceased three days ago. followed
by warm days and nights. It Is con
ceded that there will not only be a
bounteous supply of roses, but that
the most perfect specimens ever grown
in Portland will be on display next
week.
It Is announced by the management
of the festival that plans for the
week's programme have been com
pleted In detail. There Is a glowing
promise that the forthcoming festi
val will be attended by more Interest-
lng and daxzllng features than hither-
ven In Portland or In any other
In theland. Tha triumphal entry
the city of Rex Oregonus. King
the Festival, will mark the open
ing of the week's demonstration. De
parting from the established custom
of swooping down upon the city from
the myserlous clouds, the King this
year will emerge from the depths of
the Pacific board the royal yacht at
Astoria and glide up the river and
take possession of the municipality
from his position In the harbor. His
arrival will be attended by pomp and
parade surpassing in splendor the re
gal demonstrations of Old Venice.
Aside from the formal programme,
Monday will be designated as "Home
coming day." All native-born Port
land folk are expected to return and
remain all week. The important feat
ure of the festival will be the opening
of the twenty-second annual rose show
on Tuesday under the auspices of the
Portland Rose Society at the Armory.
Then will come the floral pageants,
which will surpass anything of the
kind ever given In the United States,
and will consist of Illuminated parades,
picturesque motor car said . horse
vehicle parades, fraternal demonstra
tions, a school children's parade and
aquatic events.
That Portland will attract the
largest number of visitors this year
Is the belief of railroad and h,otel men.
The railroads are placing extra equip
ment In readiness to take care of the
crowds which will flook to Portland
from every direction In the three
northwest states. Reservations In all
the leading hotels have been made and
some of the hotels are already seeking
other places to accommodate their
patrons.
EAST SIDE COMPLETING WORK
General Committee to Pot on Fin
ishing: Touches Tomorrow.
There will be a meeting of all East
Side Rose Festival committees tomor
row night In the rooms of the East
Side Business Men's Club, Grand ave
nue and Alder street, for the final re
ports on detailed arrangements for the
children's and military and fraternal
parades. General W. E. Flnzer, errand
marshal of the military and fraternal
parade, and Major Dunbar, who will be
In charge of the children's parade
when In motion, together with Robert
Krohn, who Is training the children,
will be present. The points to be de
cided will be lines of march, situation
of the grand and reviewing stands,
location of special electric lights on
Grand avenue, extent of decorations
for streets, prises to be given for both
events. Judges for awarding of prizes,
bands and their places, names of the
leaders of divisions and all other de
tails which go to make up the com
pleted programme.
H. E. Walter, chairman. Is arranging
with the Portland Railway, Light and
Power Company for the transportation
of children who take part In the pa
rade before and after the parade so
they will be taken care of. A change
from the plans of former years in the
children's parade is that the divisions
will form on Holiaday avenue between
Grand avenue and East Twelfth street
and march south. Special cars will be
provided for children living south of
Hawthorne avenue.
"We will make the rose shower,
which appears on the Rose Festival
programme for Friday morning, June
9, a success, and we shall make a rose
carpet for the streets of Portland,"
said M. H. Carter, of the Peninsula
Rosa Association, yesterday, aa he ex
plained that the details of the feature
had been worked out. The Peninsula
features are in the hands of a new set
of men, the former ones having: re
tired from the active participation in
the festivities this year.
"The details of the rose shower and
depot rose booths have all been com
pleted." continued Mr. Carter, "and if
we have the roses the plans will be
carried out. Children from the Penin
sula schools have agreed to collect
roses every morning, and these will be
collected by a special electric car
