Look for the joker in the proposed million dollar bond issue for a municipal
paving plant. All indications show clearly that the proposition was hurriedly
framed up as a means for one of the large paving companies to sell out its
large paving plants, docks, dredges, barges, quarries, etc., to the city, now that
most of the paving is completed in Portland. Read the amendment carefully
and note the opening purposely provided to consummate such an enterprise.

Prices Among? Lowest In Vnltcd
States, I Assertion of Member
of Commercial Club.
A meeting of tha Serenth Ward Im
provement League, held Friday night In a
hall at Powell and Mllwaukle streets,
was enlivened by a tilt between Sena
tor Kellaher and R. W. Raymond, of
the Commercial Club, relative to the
price of electric power In Portland,
Kellaher declaring that the rates ara
o high as to drive manufacturing con
cerns away from the city and Raymond
contending that tha ratea are among
tha lowest which can ba secured In tha
United 8tatea.
"More manufactories are driven away
from Portland by the excessively high
rates charged for electric power for
manufacturing; purposes than by any
other cause. In other cities coal is
used to give power. We have no cheap
coal, ao wa ara absolutely dependent
on the power companies, and they hold
na up and charge mora for electric
power than almost any other city In
the Coiled States." waa Senator Kel
laher'a atatement.
"No matter what our feelings are we
cannot afford to knock Portland just
to further our pet measures." said
Raymond. In this casa the Senator baa
bla fact twisted. Instead of paying
tha highest ratea for power of any
city wa have the loweat ot any city
on tha Pacific Coast and lower than
all aava two In tha United States. I
challenge the Senator to mention a
city In the United States where power
ran be bad In moderate quantities at
:o a horsepower or less."
August C Kautx. president of the
Union Store Fixture Company, decjarea
that he was a manufacturer and In a
Doltion to verify Raymond's state
ments. He had been a manufacturer
In several other cities. The trade Jour
nals, Mr. Kautx said, run comparative
tables of the cost of power In various
cities and uniformly show Portland
among: the lowest In Amerlca.

YARD CHARGES. ABSORBED
Harrlman Sjstem Notifies Shippers
of Innovation on 0V. R. St N.
Following: the action of the Hill lines
in absorbing the $5 switching charge
on carload lota of freight handled be
tween the terminal yards and the lines
of the United Railways and Oregon
Electric within the city limits of Fort
land, the Harrlman system yesterday
notified "shippers that this charge also
will be absorbed on all traffic moving
over the O.-W. R. & N. This reduction
will apply on all transcontinental and
local competitive carload shipments.
Frank W. Robinson, general freight
agent of the O.-W. R. A N. Company,
yesterday notified all shippers oi tne
Intention to establish this change. The
new arrangement will become effec
tive on tntra-atate traffic on June 13,
and on Interstate traffic on July S.
These provisions, by which the trans
continental lines will pay to the Ore-
pon Electric and the United Railways
the 15 switching charge, will be of
valuable service to small shippers using
the electric lines in Portland. Those
principally interested, however, are the
commission men and wholesale dealers
on Front street who operate on a nar
row margin, and to whom the charge
of 15 per carload is a considerable
Item.

THE
AMBITION
OF A CITY
'A city i3 made large or small by tHe number and size of its
manufacturing and commercial establishments, the size of its pay
rolls and its laboring population.
To attract to itself the eyes of the world, literature ijs mailed,
telling of the city's magnificent manufacturing facilities. Bu
reaus are maintained for the purpose of securing these large con
cerns. In many instances, property owners of a city club' together
and donate large tracts of land to induce manufacturers to locate
in their midst. County and city officials confer for the purpose
of EXEMPTING certain large employing companies FKOM ALL
TAXATION, FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME.
All to satisfy the ambition to become great. And it is laudable
ambition.
Quite the reverse seems to be the attitude of some Portland
politicians. Portland business men, having secured one of the
largest concerns on the Pacific "Coast, these same politicians now,
propose to tax that company in excess of any tax paid by any
other corporation in the county, greater in proportion than in
almost any other city in the United States. (
CASTLNG TO THE WINDS the ambition of the city, seeking
only to FURTHER THEIR OWN POLITICAL FORTUNES,
these politicians accomplish their, unjust designs at the expense
of Portland's largest industry. Is it fair?
We do not believe that the THIRTY-SEVEN THOUSAND
VOTERS of this city will follow the irresponsible leadership of a
few self-seeking politicians, who are looking forward to a SOFT
BERTH for themselves, regardless of the welfare of the city.
We do not ask for more than a SQUARE DEAL.
