"The fact that tha bond Issue was
made so large ta not significant." de
clared a well-known railroad lawyer
yesterday afternoon. "It does not
mean, necessarily, that tha full amount
authorised will be laaued. The amount
required to redeem tha Burlington
mortgage will bo Issued at ones and
tba balance may not be offered for sale
for many years. Subsequently. If
mora money Is needed, additional bonds
of thla aame lasua can bo placed on the

mortgage security. " Should only tho
amount needed bava been laaued now,
subsequent Issues would have to bo
secured by a second mortgage. In

chasing second mortgage bonds."

Tha Burlington Is likely to become a
part of the Great Northern system as
another result of the bond Issue. This
road then can bo used In the ambitious
schemes of tha Hill organisation fur
ther to Invade tho West and tho North

likely to be effected through the Bur

It Directly
Affects You.
The politicians who prepared the ordinance proposing heav
ily to increase the already enormous taxes now paid by this com
pany have stated- that it will tend to lower your own taxes by.
compelling others to provide the money.
As a matter of fact, YOU KNOW BETTER.
YOU KNOW IT WILL NOT MAKE ONE CENT'S DIF
FERENCE IN YOUR TAXES.
On the other hand, it will PREVENT THE EXPENDITURE
OF A LARGE SUM OP MONEY IN THE IMPROVEMENT OP
THIS COMPANY'S SERVICE AND' FACILITIES. This will
be no advantage to you. It will be a detriment.
You have a right to know in what respect the voting of this
tax will be a detriment. Here are the facts:
When this company issues bonds for improvement and better
ment work, it is distinctly provided that 75 per cent of that amount
may be raised by the sale of the bonds, while the balance, 25 per
cent, must be appropriated from the earnings of the company. If
the earnings of the company are reduced by having to pay more
taxes, it makes it that much more difficult to comply with the rule
regarding the raising of money by the sale of bonds. In other
woiSvERY DOLLAR TAKEN FROM THE EARNINGS OF.
TIHS COMPANY ABSOLUTELY PREVENTS THIS COM
PANY FROM BORROWING THREE DOLLARS; THUS,
FOUR DOLLARS OF IMPROVEMENT WORK MUST BE
ABANDONED FOR EVERY DOLLAR THAT IS DEDUCTED
FROM EARNINGS IN THE NATURE OF ADDED TAX.
The abandonment of improvement work is a serious matter
in a city that is growing by such prodigious leaps and bounds as
Portland is.
Another thought. "
We have shown that it is the policy of this company to RE
INVEST SUBSTANTIALLY ALL OF ITS EARNINGS in the
betterment of the service. To the extent that you impose a re
striction upon its earnings, to that extent do you ACTUALLY:
HANDICAP THE WORK OF IMPROVEMENT.
To vote in favor of increasing the already huge' taxes of this
company, therefore, would injure the service, the city, AND
YOURSELF. That's the way it affects you.
WE ONLY ASK A SQUARE DEAL NOTHING MORE.
VOTE 131 NO!
