SCOPE OF SCHEME IS WIDE of Placing or Reasonably Priced Iand I Wore Homcseekers Help for Farm Enterprises and Stop over Privileges Phases. Th9 most extensive development undertaking bestun by the Portland Commercial Club In Its promotion work since the first organization of the Ore gon Development League, with Its hun dred or more associated clubs through out the state, is a new plan to organ ize In the commercial body of each of the cities of Portland" trade territory movements for local development of the surrounding country by the Commer cial Clubs in those cities. Tom Richardson, who has engineered successfully probably more such cam paigns than any other one man In the I'nited States, has been engaged by the executive committee of the Commercial Club to give the larger portion of his time to the organization of the move ment in the trade territory of Portland. His services will be given by the Port land Club without charge to the clubs in which the movement is to be carried forward, and he will begin his work immediately after the first of October.

What Is needed is simply organized effort In each community of the state to over come this prejudice by using every pos sible effort to place people In touch with the means of getting hold of the land which is available at low prices. "In regard to tourists passing through the state. Oregon has an enormous op portunity for effective work In 191, when the travel Is at its height to the Panama-Pacific Exposition. At the present time people don't stop off be- t. i - -i ami Kn Francisco. imeeii twi. - There Is. however, no reason why they should not be able to ao so. i matter that each city In the Willam ette Valley must take up with the rail roads for Itself, and If they organize properly with a determination to get this concession, they will have no trou ble In doing so. When people begin to stop off at the cities along the way and look about the country. Oregon will get permanent settlers. Growth of Movement Need. "What la needed Is for the strong, dependable men In each community to Join the movement and the work that the Portland Commercial Club is plan ning to help them to do will bring about a development In the state within the next few years such as one scarcely dreams of now." The campaign for the $150,000 promo tion fund of the Portland Commercial Club is nearing completion and within a few weeks the fund will be completed. Already the 119.000-mark has been passed and contributions, are coming in with encouraging regularity, al though the active canvass has been suspended for a time.

MILX.'ER BEXOtrXCES LEG ISLATIAE METHOD. Stale Commission Form of Govern ment Xot Indorsed Absolutely but Change Is Advocated. That the Oregon Legislatures have been wasteful of the money of taxpay ers, that appropriation bills are passed without consideration and that bills are passed and defeated without regard for the interest of the people, was the statement made yesterday by Milton A. Miller, United States Collector of Reve nue for Portland, at the luncheon of the East Side Business Men's Club yes terday at Hotel Clifford. Mr. Miller's subject was. "State Commission Form of Government." He was introduced as the Democrat who had been repeatedly elected to the Oregon Senate by a dis trict with a large Republican majority. Mr. Miller declared at the start of his talk that he was not prepared from the investigation he had made to in dorse a straight out commission form for the State of Oregon, but said that from his experience in the Oregon Leg islature ho was satisfied some change was necessary for the protection of the interests of the people. . . "I do not attack the men who attend the Legislature," said Mr. Miller, "but the system under which they work. As a rule they are capable and worthy men. There is tremendous waste of money and resources of the state. I really believe that 10 or 20. men could handle the appropriation so that $1,500,- 000 could have been saved out of the $5,000,000 appropriated."
