THE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, AUGUST 31, 1913. NDMEHTS 18 AME TO GO ON BALLOT Special Election to Act on Ac ceptance of Commission Rule Is November 2. ONE ISSUE ONLY REJECTED Charter Considered Principal Issue, but Its Failure and Passage of Other Measures Would Have Radical Effect. After fixing Saturday. November 2, as the date upon which the special election shall be held, the City Coun cil yesterday proceeded to not only submit the so-called official proposed commission charter to the people, but loaded up the ballot with numerous other amendments to the present char ter for the electorate to decide upon. These amendments run all the way from $100,000 to $1,000,000 in bond Is sues for various projects, and others propose radical changes In the present plan of handling- certain city business. While the members of the Council were not unanimous as to the value of the various proposed amendments and there were debates on many of them, at times heated, only one out of the entire batch failed to secure enough votes to get on the ballot. This was one offered by J. B. Zfegler. author of the celebrated act which bound the city so tight that it could not even use Its own streets to build Its public auditorium. While the proposed commission char ter is considered as the most impor tant thing to be on the ballot, it is important only in case It should pass: if not. other amendments submitted, if they carry, become highly impor tant. For example, there is an amendment, to be voted on separate from the commission plan, which pro vides that civil service rules shall not apply to the police department. Should this pass and the commission plan fail, it can readily be seen how radical will be the change in this one branch of the municipal government. Mayor Kushlight himself is back of this proposition, as he has declared that the force can be handled to better ad vantage with civil service rules elim inated. Bridge Tax on Cars Fought. A proposed amendment authorizing the issuance of $300,000 for bonds to purchase Ross Island and another fix ing a rate of 3 cents a car for all streetcars crossing any of the bridges brought forth hot debates, but both finally carried. Councilman Jennings charged that Ross Island Is not worth to the city more than $100,000; that it will have to have a concrete wall around it to be of use and that he felt it to be un wise to submit any amendment on this, although he believed that the people would vote it down, anyway. Mayor Rushlight, who originated the plan for the city to buy the island for munic ipal purposes. defended the amend ment and denied that the island will need any retaining wall. He said it may not require $300,000 to pay for the land, but that, were he in office, he would favor condemnation proceed ings and for the city to pay whatever price was considered fair. Councilman Magulre attacked the Mayor's amendment making 3 cents the rate for streetcars passing over the bridges. He moved to make it 5 cents, but this was defeated after a stubborn fight, and Magulre himself later moved reconsideration and when this was ob tained, moved that the amendment be submitted with the 3-cent clause, which was done. jH7 Amendments Submitted. The complete list of 18 amendments submitted follows: Bond issue of $300,000 for the pur chase by condemnation proceedings of Ross Island. Bond Issue of JS50.000 for a bridge across the Willamette In South Port land. Bond issue of $100,000 for a new garbage crematory. Bond Issue of $2,000,000 for purchas ing parks and playgrounds and im proving them. Bond issue of liOO.OOO to be added to the $600,000 issue authorised hereto fore for the construction of a public auditorium. Bond issue of $200,000 for providing the city with public markets. Amendment regulating sale of prop erty owned by the city, and providing for the manner of vacating streets.

Central Oregon wheat lands are likened to those of the Dakotas in a telegraphic report sent yesterday by U W. Hill to J. H. Young, president of the North Bank Railroad. Hill Is tourine the territory tribu tary to the Oregon Trunk line, which he is inspecting in his official capacity as chairman of the board of directors of the Great Northern Railway. He made the trip into the Interior in a private car. but left the road at Bend so that he could get out Into the fields with his automobile, which he carries always with him. Having been denied the privilege of touring the mid- state counties with the party that at tended the Central Oregon Development Congress at Lakevlew last week, he will be able now to devote more time to this detail. He visited the country In the vicinity of Terrebonne yesterday, and was so well pleased that he sent the following message to President Young in this city, a copy of which also went to his father. James J. Hill: "We are surprised to see the crops in all this part of the country. Wheat is threshing from 25 to 40 bushels an acre. They have a large crop of pota toes and onions for shipment this fall. The volunteer crops of rye and wheat on the right of way are heavier than the average crops in the North .Dakota fields." It is probable that the Great North ern executive will remain in the in terior for several days. He expects to return to Portland for a brief visit. Munly Clubs Formed.
