THE MORNING- OREGOXIAN, WEDXESDAY, APRIL 1, 1914. - PORTLAND'S MARCH FORWARD NOTABLE March, 1914, Exceeds March Last Year in Many Sta tistical Records. TAXES STRIKE CLEARINGS Livestock Figures Take Iecided Jump Over Same Month or j 913 Building Permits Take Little Slump. In virtually every statistical respect the month of March. 1914. in Portland, excels March, 1913. so that the month end review is encouraging:. The volume of real estate transfers and postal receipts, the number of building permits issued and. the live stock and erain receiDts for th mnnth just closed were more favorable than m same or a. year ago. Permits Take- Slump. The value of the building- permits did not run as high this year and the DanK clearings fell a small percentage short of the 1913 showing, but there are circumstances affecting the bank clearings for the respective months wnicn are neid to be of pertinent significance. The livestock market was so active curing the last month that all records for March were broken by the showing or ngures.at the stockyards. The bank clearings for March. 191 were $55,335,019.44. as against $59,119. 790.41 for March, 1913. Undoubtedly the recently revised methods of paying xaxes are largely accountable for the difference of J3.784.770.97. Last year all those who paid their taxes prior to March 15 received a re bate of 3 per cent, and this invitation encouraged a. heavy payment of taxes during the early part of the month, causing a strong flow of checks through the channels of the clearing house. 3Vo Rebate Pr.mHlfd. This year no rebate privileges were offered. Those paying one-half of their taxes before 9:30 o'clock last night were exempted from the 1 per cent a. month penalty provibion of the new tax law. but the rush in tax pay ment did not come until Monday and yesterday. On account of the great mass of work shoved so suddenly upon the Treasurer's office, by far the larger share of these recently paid tax funds have not as yet found their way to the Portland clearing-house, where they would serve to swell the total of the month's clearings in proportion to the enhancement given by the heavy tax payments of March. 1913. The run of livestock at the Portland Union Stockyards in March was the largest in the history of that institu tion. A total of 610 carloads was re ceived, which is a gain of 107 loads over the arrivals in March last year. The total receipts of all classes of stock amounted to 53,005 head, as against 44.495 Head unloaded in March, 1913. There were Increases in all lines, but swine led the list with a gain of 6850 head.

Wheat arrivals at local docks and mills were 1,086,200 bushels, compared with 1,301,300 bushels re ceived in the same month last year. Barley receipts were 4165 tons as against 3780 tons in March. 1913. Car lot receipts of flour, oats and hay were somewhat less than a year ago. Transfers Show Increase. Realty transfers in Portland for March, 1914, totaled $1,354,469, as com pared with $1,230,912 for March of last year. During the month just closed 3057 deed and mortgage instruments were recorded, which reflect an active transfer condition. In March, 1914. 708 building permits, amountin gto $882,865, were granted, as contrasted with the smaller number. 616, issued in March, 1913, for the larger aggregate, $886,760. An encouraging result is shown in a comparison of the postal receipts for March of the respective years. The re ceipts for March, 1914, totaled $104, 971.45. or 11.5, t ner ,ce,nt greater than the figures for March, 1913, $94,152.13. The aggregate gain is $10,819.32, which la among the largest yea recorded. Lumber Shipments Tally. The shipment of lumber for March of this year and last shows no material margin, both totals being approxi mately 16.000.000 for the month of both years. The flour shipments this year were not quite as large as last year. There are this year 32,247 children in the public schools of Portland as compared with the 30,411 registered this time last year, a parallel by no means insignificant, in view of the ac companying fact that there are today a considerable number more of gas, electric, water and telephone patrons in Portland, as shown on the records of the respective departments, than there were a year ago. Not only does March, 1914. record a material improvement over March, 1913, but it evidences a marked improvement over the preceding month of February in those statistics illustrating the cur rent commercial, financial and indus trial situation.

Employers Start at $8198 and Em ployes Representatives as High as $13.20 Gradually Work ing Closer Until Deadlock. OLYMPIA. Wash.. March 31. (Spe cial.) On a test vote tonight, at the close of an entire day's deliberations, six of the nine members of Washing ton's first minimum wage conference voted for a $10 weekly minimum for employes in mercantile establishments. The three employers who were mem bers of the conference voted "no" to the $10 motion, but each explained that he would vote for the $10 scale If proper arrangements could be made for the employment of apprentices at less than the minimum wage. Seeing that the apprenticeship question only stood in the way of an agreement, a meeting of the Industrial Welfare Commission was called to take up this matter. Labor Commissioner Olson, who Is chairman of the commission and also presided at the conference, ruled, that under the Washington law only the commission had power to settle the apprenticeship question and then only Dy granting special certificates to ap prentices. The proposed $10 minimum wage will, if flnaly adopted, be the highest in the United States, the Ore gon minimum for mercantile estab lishments being $9.25 for Portland and $8.25 for the remainder of the state. It was apparent from the beginning of the session that a high minimum wage would be settled upon. The three employers, after conferring, at first gave $8.98 as their opinion of the min imum cost of living for a working girl, while the individual estimates of em ployes .were $11.98. $l2 and $13.20. Employers later raised their nff.r tn $9.50, while employes droped to $10.25. A majority of the representatives of the public said they were ready to vote with the employes for this figure, but urged them to fix the minimum at $10 to gain the votes of the employers, and make the decision unanimous. News About Railroads V EMBERS of the Portland. Transpor- I tation Club are preparing to con duct a campaign of education in their own ranks on live questions pertaining to the present railroad situation. It is probable that a series of night meetings will be held at which prac tical railroad men will be invited to discuss the financial distress that now confronts the carriers, the plans for general valuation, the apparent neces sity of increasing rates, the plan to reduce all railroad bonds to a common standard and other topics that are of a semi-public nature. It is the theory of the railroad men that the general public now is be ginning to appreciate the vital relation that the carriers bear to the prosperity of the country at large and that the public will be more ready to co-operate with the railroads if their position is better understood. It is for the pur pose of informing the raMroad men themselves, so that they In turn can Inform the public, that the Transporta tion Club members are planning this educational work. C. E. McPherson, of Winnipeg, as sistant passenger traffic manager of the Canadian Pacific was in Portland for a few hours yesterday on his way home from San Francisco, where he attended the meeting of the Transcon tinental Passenger Association. Although travelers to the World's ENGLISH IN OPERA IS PLEA OF NOTED SINGER After Having Sleep Disturbed ly "Drunken Sailor," David Bispham Awakens to Sound Note of Warning to Music Lovers. BY JOSEPH M. QUENTIN. POR 19 hours David. Bispham. the celebrated opera singer, was aa carefully guarded from all inter ruptions and callers at the Hotel Port land as if he were a bit of radium and all on account of an intoxicated man. Tired out from his work at the Orpheum Theater, where he appears twice a day, Mr. Bispham marched to his hotel Sunday night and about mid night was aroused from the slumbers of the Just by a call on the telephone in his room. Bispham Hullo. What is it? Voice That you Mr. Bisp-p-pp-ffm? Hick! Wanshtohearye sing. I'm comin" to your room. Can't sleep until I sing you to sleep. Bispham My friend, you must not come to my room. I am tired out and wish to sleep. Go home. "Voice Can t sleep, hie, until, I, oh. you know, why . Bispham My friend, you have been drinking. (Gently, but firmly) Good morning. So saying. Mr. Bispham hung up the phone receiver, but his thirsty and un known admirer persisted in resuming the conversation. It was then that Mr. Bispham, in self-defense for he had to sleep instructed the telephone op erator In the hotel not to call him by phone again. The consequence was that all day Monday and until 6 o'clock Monday night that devoted phone op erator denied Mr. Bispham to all call ers. Music teachers and parents with phenomenally gifted young musicians told the phone girl that they must see Mr. Bispham to have his opinion on the musical prodigies aforesaid, but the girl said "Nay." I was also told Nay." In desperation I addressed a note Jlo Mr. Bispham and he said that mistake had been made. He was sorry, he added, and asked me up to his room. "What will my friends think of me?" asked Mr. Bispham, in a tone of deep regret. "That telephone operator has denied me to every one who called. I only hinted to her not to call me, until I had had some sleep." Mr. Bispham quickly plunged into an interesting discussion that all opera singers, in this country at least, should sing in English. "Why should they not sing In- Eng lish?" demanded Mr. Bispham, warm ing up to his chosen theme. "It is time that we stood up for our good, old, honest English tongue. Every year we Americans admit into this country 1.- 000,000 European peasants who talk their individual tongues. These imml- " i 1 1 - . - it I'M . - t t t -s . a"V;. ' ) -v.

We go to grand opera and high-class concerts and lis ten to highly-priced artists, who war ble to us, at high prices, in Italian, French or German, and the majority of the audiences does not understand one. word that is said. It is time to call a halt. Go to grand opera in Ger many and German is sung. In France artists must sing in French and in Italy in Italian. To do otherwise would cause trouble." "What about the artists who Bing to us in English that cannot be under stood T' I asked. "That is the fault of the singers." Insisted Mr. Bispham. "If the dear public would only refuse to listen to slovenly pronounced or carelessly pro nounced English, the singers would soon find the remedy, or they would find themselves among the unem ployed." "Are you in vaudeville for good?" "No." aid Mr. Bispham. "The onera enterprise for which I was to have been engaged railed, or. rather the opera managers failed. Next year I am to enter the legitimate." I am to be an actor, but am not at liberty to mention Just now what my play is to be." MOTHER! IS CHILD'S STOMACH SOUR. SICK?

Fair next year will be required to pay at least $15 in addition to the regular round trip rate If they want to move one way through the Northwest. Mr. McPherson anticipates a heavy volume of passenger traffic In this direction. He thinks the movement, even under the $15 arbitrary, will be heavy enough to tax the capacity of the hotels and the northern carriers. He expects the Canadian Pacific to enjoy a substan tial share of the exposition business but anticipates that travel to the Coast this year will be light on, account of people waiting for the big attraction next year.
