HIRE ENROLLED If LEGISLATIVE RACE Three More "Good Citizens" Hear Call to Duty From Multnomah. LOUIS KUEHN CONSIDERED John Gill, Lee B. Hendrlck and S. B. Huston Are Latest to Announce Acceptance Others Expected to Fall Into Line. Nine of the 12 men asked by citizens of Multnomah County to run for the lower house of the Legislature, in the interest of lower taxes and. greater efficiency in publie service, have now formally become candidates. John Gill, Lee B. Hendricks and 8. "B. Huston announced their formal ac ceptance Saturday. They will run on the same platform and ballot slo gan adopted Friday night by Ben Selling-, rr. Andrew C. Smith, Judge E. V. Littlefleld and Plowden Stott. This platform reads as follows: "In response to a. large petition from taxpaperg, urging me to be a. candidate for the purpose of securing relief to tlie taxpayer, I am now a candidate. If elected I will oppose all needless appropriations. I will work for and vote to abolish all useless boards and commissions. There are nearly 100 state boards, commissions and commis sioners handling public money. Many of these perform service of value, but ' there should be a general consolida tion in the interest of co-ordination, harmony and economy. . Lower taxes next year and thereafter will be the end 1 shall seek." "Taxpayers' candidate and lower taxes in the future" is the slogan of each. Oscar W. Horne, well-known labor leader, and D. C. Lewis, of St. Johns, had already announced their candi dacies before the citizens' call was made, and are running on platforms substantially the same. . Mr. Home Announces Platform. "If I am nominated and elected I T.-ill, during my term of office, favor semi-annual or quarterly payment of taxes, good roads," says Mr. Horne in Ills platform, "enactment of eight-hour law, amendment to present lien laws for the benefit of owners and builders, sanitary inspection of schools, facto ries and public buildings and the strict enforcement thereof, and the enforce ment of the employers' liability act." In his campaign slogan Mr. Horne declares for reduced legislative appro priations and semi-annual tax pay ments. Mr. Lewis stands for tax reductions and greater legislative efficiency, equitable arbitration laws, guarantee ing just and fair compensation to the -wage earner, good'roads legislation so safeguarded that the cost of highway building will not deprive any poor person of his home, lessening of ex pense of Supreme Court appeals, and semi-annual tax payments. His slo gan is: "More law and fewer Yaws." Much satisfaction was expressed yes terday that S. B. Huston had been in duced to run in place of William K. Woodward, who, much to his regret, found himself not able for business reasons to respond to the call to be come a candidate. Mr. Huston did not desire to run. He felt that thw personal sacrifice in volved would be very .great. There was such a general demand on the part of the other candidates and persons who had signed the call to the original 12 men, however, for him to become a candidate, that he finally consented. Mr. Huston Yields to Duty. "I didn't want to be a candidate," said Mr. Huston, in announcing his formal acceptance yesterday, "but the pressure from my friends and from many citizens, who urged me to do so as a duty of good citizenship, has been so strong that I feel I cannot resist. But I shall not circulate my petitions, make any campaign, nor spend any money. If the people want me to go to the Legislature, they will no doubt nominate and elect me without my making any personal campaign." Lee B. Hendricks, conductor on the Shasta Limited, a railroad man for SO years and widely known as a sub stantial citizen and man of affairs, made the following statement of ac ceptance: "In yielding to the request of the people to become a candidate for the Legislature. I, like many others, do so at a personal sacrifice, but as a mat ter of good citizenship and with the interests of Oregon at heart. Having been asked by the people to be one of the 12 men to represent Multnomah County in the lower House I feel it is my duty to accept, providing the ma jority f the others who have been "asked to run do so. I have not now, nor have I ever had. any political am bition. I look upon this as a purely business proposition. I believe that the men who are sent there are sent for the purpose of doing business and not for politics. 1 will make no campaign whatever. If I am nominated and elect ed I will serve to the best of my ability for the best interests of the people and Oregon." Many of the signers of the petition, asking 12 men to be candidates, have been impressed with the candidacy of Louis Kuehn, who annonunced some weeks ago that he would run for the lower house. Mr. Kuehn is a substan tial citizen of much business experi ence and with a large following. In view of the fact that Fielder A. Jones, though thoroughly in sympathy with the movement to send 12 men of tried ability to the Legislature, definitely decided yesterday that his business would not permit of his accepting, the other candidates and signers of the petition are delighted that a man of Mr. Kuehn's standing and ability is available. There is no doubt that he will be asked to take Mr. Jones' place on the list of 12 and make the race. Mr. Kuehn Is a staunch advocate of tax reductions, lower public expendi tures and greater efficiency In public service. He' had declared for these principles in his platform, before the citizens' petition was issued. As S. B. Cobb has been absent from the city, his formal acceptance is still somewhat in doubt. With nine strong - men having; already consented to be come candidates, pledged to tax reduc tions and public service, however, it is hoped that the list of 12 will be com pleted today so that all declarations of candidacy can be in the hands of the Secretary of State early Monday. There will then remain five days in which to obtain signatures to the nom inating petitions and file them with the Secretary of State. Every effort will be made to complete the circula tion ef the petitions and obtain the , necessary number of signatures by Wednesday or Thursday. This will leave plenty of time to file them on or before Friday, the last day allowed by law. Police to Show Pljlit. Until the courts have decided wheth er the city or the state police pension law is in operation, policemen may not be paid for time they are off duty on account of Bickness. although Mayor Albee announced last night that the City Commissioners might be able to find some legal manner in which sick officers could receive their salaries. Meanwhile the pay of officers who were on the aicklist during March bas been docxee. The city will probably demand that about $5000, paid to sick officers from the general fund during the first ten months, be returned from the police pension fund. Legal action by the Port land Police Athletic and Beneficiary Association will be deferred until after the meeting Tuesday. In case City Auditor Barbur con tinues his refusal to pay officers for time lost through ' illness, the police plan to organize and fight for over time pay. It is possible that a suit will be brought in the near future to test the constitutionality of the 1913 police pen sion bill. The Question centers around the right of the Legislature to pass a law appropriating city money, and af fecting only the City of Portland. The law applies only to cities having a pop ulation more than 50.000. - Under the old. city police pension law, policemen, when ill, received $40 3. month. The new law passed by the 1913 Legislature provides that police men during' illness shall receive 1 full pay for the first six months, and half pay after that time. OPERA DEFICIT LIKELY BKLIl'.F IS S4UOO WILL HAVE TO BE BADE UP IN PORTLAND. Financial Statement Is Not Available, Last Night OnI7 One of Season With Capacity House. Although there is no dispute that the short season of grand opera Just fin ished In this city by the Chicago Grand Opera Company was an artistic success, it is thought that there will be a deficit of probably about $4000 between ex penses and paid admissions. The Portland managers of the opera company are Fred Vf. Vincent and E. S. Lister. Mr. Vlncenr said last night: "We have no financial statement of any kind to make now, but will prepare a statement later, when accounts are bal anced. If there will be a loss, I do not think it will amount to the loss of last season." The prospect is that a call will be made on these guarantors who are stated to have subscribed a total of $10,000: Maud Ainswortb. W. C. Bris tol, J. Bowerman, Jonathan Bourne. Jr., Benson Hotel, John H. Burgard. E. K. Corbett, 'Henry L. Corbett, William A. Carter, Edward Cookingbam. Frank lin T- Griffith, Rodney L. Gllsan, Jose phine Hlrsch, G. M. Kaufman, James B.

The Monday night performance in Seattle amounted to $4071; Tuesday night, $3229; Wednesday matinee, $3026; Wednesday night, $5000. Last year Seattle spent $28,000 for four per formances of grand opera. The Chi cago Grand Opera Company Is nnajiced by a coterie of Chicago capitalists, headed by Harold McCormack. who be lieve in the educational effects of grand opera. The prospects are that the Chi cago men are not discouraged in their opera venture, and that the company will again visit the West next season. The failure to make the season of grand opera pay at the Orpheum, this city, is explained by statements that prices charged were too high and the indifference of a portion of the general public. This is the old, familiar argu ment, "with whiskers," but It's true. The only occasion when the Orpheum was filled to capacity was last night, when the crowd came to see Mary Gar den. At other performances many boxes were empty and also the last two or three rows of seats downstairs. The number of persons killed by lightning in the United States during a, year averages nearly e0; about 400U cattle are killed and annual damage by lightning is $3,000,000. OREGON POLITICALGOSSIP A.

Van Dresar having previously junnounced their candidacies. "I have become a candidate," said Mr. Flegel last night, "because I think that a Democrat that. the people know should run. I feel, as a Democrat, that we should have a Congressional delegation at Washington in harmony with the Administration, and though it is not my personal wish to be a can didate, I have consented to do so for those -reasons. I Intend to make a vigorous campaign through the coun ty." Mr. Flegel has lived in Portland for 25 years and has been practicing law here since 1892. He is one of the best known attorneys in the city and a member of the law firm of Flegel, Reynolds & Flegel. Mr.. Flegel had not had time to prepare a platform last night, as he did not decide to run until 5:30 o'clock. He will probably make a formal declaration of principles to day, however. Grant B. Dimick. of Oregon City, candidate for the Republican nomina tion for Governor, has returned from a campaign trip through Southern Ore gon, in which he visited Ashland, Med ford. Jacksonville and Grants Pass. From Southern Oregon he went to Yam hill County, putting in a day of cam paigning at Amity and McMinnville.

ECONOMIC PHASE URGED Prorefceor at Social Science Confer ence V rjjes Develop Ins Mexico to Increase Food Supply Pa cific lefenscs l.'rged. PHILADELPHIA, April 5. The Pres ldent's policy in Mexico was the storrn center of controversy at the convention of the -American Academy of Political and Social Science today. An ex-Army officer. Major Cassius E. Gillette, de clared It was his belief that the Presi dent of the United States would not be unwilling to become a war bero in order to get a second term. The speak er had no sooner delivered these words than hisses came from different parts of the hall. Austen G. Fox, a delegate of the American Bar Association, who pre sided, defended the President. He said he believed Mr. Wilson would "rather see the Monroe doctrine an obsolete myth than engage in--war with any one." "I am a Republican." said Represent ative Prouty. of Iowa, "but 1 will up hold with all my power the President of my country in his Mexican policy in his efforts to avert -war." He resented, he said, the "dragging of the President down to the level of Huerta." Mexico Likened to Starving; Mob. Professor S. N. Patten, of the Uni versity of Pennsylvania, said that the United States should change its atti tude toward Mexico from political to economic. He likened Mexico to a starving mob in a great manufacturing district. "Give the mob bread and not bullets and you will win it," he said. He advocated developing the countries south of the Rio Grande, so as to give North America a greater food supply. Professor L. C. Wells, of Clark Col lege. Worcester, Mass.. was one of those who believed that the distribution of land among Mexicans would solve many of her troubles. "Much of the millions of acres of land legally held is morally open to confiscation," he said. Plea for Pnelfle Defenses Made. Rear-Admlral Richard Walnwrlght, speaking on American interests in the Pacific, said he believed that some of the misunderstandings in that part of the world was due to untrained diplo mats and he made a plea for the better training of such officers. Referring directly to Japan, the Ad miral said there was no present rea son, no chance, one might also say, of war with Japan. He knew most of the elder statesmen in that country, he said, and felt sure they would never consent to a conflict without justifica tion. x "But," he added, "it is folly to be weak when we have the power to be strong." , He then made a plea for the strength ening of all American defenses in the Pacific and also advocated a strong territorial army.

The candidacy for Democratic Na tional committeeman from Oregon of n. ai. n.steriy, ol Portland, bas been received with mixed feelings by local Democrats. There are some who a-o so far as to say that though nominally a, democrat, that lets Mr. Esterly out and that in reality ha is more ot a non party man than a Democrat of the thoroughgoing, party-comes-f irst typo who would naturally be considered eli gible for National committeeman, the one office of the whole ticket that is purely a party one. In support of this view, it is cited that Mr. Esterly in 1911 was avowedly not going to sun- port Champ Clark if he were nomi nated for the Presidency by the Balti more National convention.

By "adequate compensation," Mr. Sinnott explains that he means compen sation sufficient to maintain the fim Hies of injured employes at a standard commensurate with the wage of which they are deprived by injury to the fam ily wage earner. He also favors some plan by which the people may be enabled by vote to instruct their members of Congress on Important Issues like that of Panama tolls. Mr. Sinnott brought the recent ac tion in court which resulted in the de cision that taxes may be paid in two annual installments.

We heartily indorse tha progressive leg islation ot the Republican party. Including the parcels pout, postal savings bank. fre tolls and Oregon's system of popular gov mment.
