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

In Seattle, Wash., the Chicago Grand
Opera Company for four performances
did business nearly amounting to $15,
500. 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.

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.

ing campaign.

We believe that tha intarest of the peopla

wajs given tha people tha bast, most eco
nomical and progressiva government.
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.
No candidate for office" who has filed as
a Republican should refuse to pledge Ills
allegiance to tiia Republican party or to
Indorse the progressiva lutctslatlun which It
has ben responsible for giving to the peo
ple, and each candidate should be wining,
before tha primary, to pledge his best ef
forts, to the and that a complete state,
district and county ticket may be elected at
the forthcoming election.
Women are an Important factor in the
netterment or politics, and every effort
sliould be made to secure . squat suffrage
throughout tha Nation.
We advocate tha repeal of the present
"Oregon lax law" and the enactment of a
iust and reasonable law, providing for
semi-annual or quarterly payments without
penalty.
Taxation should be lessened by the adop
tion of business methods In tha admlntstra
lion of municipal, county and state affairs.
We favor tha Improvement of our livers
and harbors on tha continuing plan.
We believe that tha opening ot tha Co
lumbia River to navigation Into British Co
lumbia Is essential to tha proper develop
ment of the Northwest.
Forest reserves of Oregon are nroDertv an
asset of the state and all moneys received
from the sale thereof should revert to the
people of Oregon, to be used for tha con
struction of highways and tha benefit ot
tne puoilo school fund.
All agricultural lands within the forest
reserve of Oregon should be opened to bona
fide settlers.
We are opposed to tha abolishment of ih.
State Senate.
We favor the abolishment of all needlsas

quent taxes be purchased by the state for
tne benefit of tne public school fund, giving
the owner reasonable time In which to re

A TONIC FOR THE NERVES
Nervous people who have not yet de
veloped a disease that can toe recog
nised and treated by the medical pro
fession have the greatest trouble in
finding relief. Irritation, headache,
sleeplessness, nervous dyspepsia, all
these discomforts make life miserable
but are endured rather than run a doc
tor's bill without definite hope of re
covery. Every such sufferer should know tho
danger of such a condition of the nerv
ous system. Nervous debility and even
paralysis may easily result if t!f tone
of the nerves is not, restored.
The one big fact that brings hope
and relief is that the nerves can be re
stored by building up the blood. It
cannot be too ofton repeated that Only
through the blood can nourishment and
medicine reach the nerves. Dr. Will
iams' Pink Pills make the blood rich
and red and quickly restore vitality
and energy to a weak, nervous system.
A nervous persons who gives these pills
a trial is almost certain to see good
results, and. what Is more, the benefit
will be lasting because the trouble in
attacked at Its root. Thin blood makes
weak nerves. Building up the blood
restores the nerve force.
