WATERFRONT PERIL

in
ACTS ENDANGER OREGON
Measures Are Shown to Ainf at Con
fiscation of Land Once Given by
State and Development May
Receive Death-Blow.
Declaring the . waterfront amend
ments, if carried, would mean confis
cation of private property, would cause
the removal of much of Portland's ship
ping business to the other side of the
Columbia River, and would deprive
working people of Portland and Oregon
of needed employment, S. Benson voices
his objection to them.
Mr. Benson never has been intrusive
in the state's politics. He has been so
busy developing industries, assisting in
the construction of good roads, giving
fountains to the city and buying water
falls and tracts of land along the beau
tiful Columbia Highway, which he has
rlvan tn Vi 11 t i i n r 1 1 n that hA H M U hnil
little time for politics. But the danger
he sees in the adoption of the water
front amendment has directed his mind
In new channels, and he is now tak
ing an interest in politics to the ex
tent of pointing out the evils that
would result from the passage of the
waterfront measures.
Danger Prompt Protest.
Mr. Benson is not an owner of Water
front land. His objection to Its con
fiscation is that of a disinterested,
right-minded " man, who thinks that
every citizen should be confirmed in
his rights, whether of property, politics
or religion. v
"The promoters of these amend
ments," said Mr. Benson, "say that the
Btate gave the waterfront to the up
land owner, and yet it is the intention
of these bills to recall this gift and take
the property from those who now own
It, without compensation. When I
was a boy, the youngster who followed
such tactics was called an Indian giver.
Stripped of technicalities, the object
of the proposed bills means simply con
f iscation of property, and the excuses
made for these bills, the promoters I
say, that this is perfectly legal. That
isn t the question. The question Is,
"Is it right?" I know the fair-minded
people of the State of Oregon will
agree with me that it is not.
Oregon' Reputation at Stake.
"The promoters of these amendments
say the waterfront was a free gift from
the state to the owner of the adjoin
ing property, and that by confiscating
such property as had not been im
proved, the owner would lose nothing.
But how about the taxes that have
been paid by the owners all these years
and which have gone to the support
of the state? This land, which the
waterfront bills would confiscate, was
granted several generations ago. In
many instances the title has changed
hands. Bona fide purchasers, relying
implicitly upon the title given by the
state, as they had a right to do, have
bought and paid for the lands. Are
we not to consider the equities of these
purchasers? Surely the voters of this
state will not advertise to the country
that those who obtain a state title in
Oregon merely purchase a lawsuit.
Leaning Is Bankruptcy.
"By the terms of the waterfront bills
it is proposed to lease-to the present
owner the waterfront he now owns.
If he does not care to pay the rent
exacted, or cannot, the property may
be leased to anyone who will improve
it. No lease can be made for more than
25 years and the rental is to be ad-
Justed at every five-year period of the
lease. Looking at this phase of the
subject from a business standpoint and
with a view to the future development
cmd prosperity of the state, what do we
find? Improvements made under these
amendments would revert to the land
lord (the state) at the end of the lease
period and their cost must be ab
sorbed and added to the overhead
charges. That is, if the improvement
should cost $100,000 and . the lease is
for 25 years, $4000 a year would be
the depreciation charge, which must be
added to the rental. Further, as the
rental is to be adjusted every five
years, it remains an unknown quan
tity; it might become prohibitive, and
drive the renter into bankruptcy
"Would a business man in his right
senses, construct costly Improvements
under such restrictions or would he
establish his business where he could
reasonably expect a return for his in
vestment? if
Development Jm Imperiled.
"Even if industries are forced to lo
cate on our waterfront, under such
adverse conditions, can we expect to
see the improvements anything but the
.merest makeshifts, anything that will
answer the purpose during the life of
the lease. In his enthusiasm for pub
. lie docks, I am afraid Mr. Mulkey has
forgotten every otUsr business interest
in the state.
"I am not speaking as an interested
party. I own no waterfront either di
rectly or indirectly. I am speaking as
a private citizen having the best in
terests of Oregon and its future de
velopment at heart.
"These measures, . if carried, will
most disastrously affect the develop
ment of Oregon. Capital will not build
docks, that will revert 'to the state in
a few years, on land that has been
talcen from its rightful owners by the
state. Docks will be built on the other
side of the Columbia River, where con
fiscation of private property has not
become a political practice.
Portland labor will not be em
ployed to construct these docks nor
will Portland labor be employed in
them, when they are built.
"The waterfront measures, like many
other similarly vicious ones, will, I
em sure, be defeated when once the
voters understand their purpose. The
working people, at least, will not vote
to pass bills that will drive Industries
from the state and reduce the number
and size of the pay checks.
RTJIX IS READ IX MEASURES
Woman Investor Holds Up Water
Front Act as Heartlessly Unjust.
PORTLAND, Or., Oct. 81. (To the
Editor.) May I enter my protest
against the passage of the, so-called
waerfront" bills, Nos. 328 and 330. It
seems to me the worst piece of pro
posed legislation, unless possibly ex
cepting the single tax, and as J under
stand it, the persons who are trying to
force the "waterfront" bills on the
statute books are the same persons who
tried so hard to fasten single tax on
Oregon.
Under these measures, if I read cor
rectly, it will be Impossible to build
anything but wharves, docks, piers,
lips, water terminals or other struc
tures of like kind, on the waterfront
tor five miles in either direction up or
down the Willamette River the same
being navigable $ Albany or other
navigable waters of the state. Not an
other labor-producing industry can be
located on Portland's waterfront if the
bills pass, . It seems Impossible that
the men who are responsible for these
measures could have understood what
they were really doing when they
caused them to be put on the ballot.
Instead of helping commercial and in
dustrial development, they are destroy
ing it. Portland is not the only city in
the state that willvsuffer. I think .the
editorial in the Oregonian of October
31, rightly names it "The Father of
Ruin."
Another feature that I wish to call
the voters' atentlon to, is that thou
sands of persons who bought water
front' property years ago, and paid
taxes on it all these years, sacrificing
many other interests, will be impov
erished if these measures pass. I know
teachers, bookkeepers, widows and old
persons who have invested all their
earnings in waterfront property; 1 am
one of them. By the passing of the
bill, we will lose everything. It is not
true that we will not sell; for any one
of us would be glad to sell at a rea
sonable price Interest on the mono
invested and enough to cover losses we
have otherwise sustained, and includ
ing taxes we have paid. A few years
since, when I did not have money to
meet the taxes and the city was go-

ing to sell it, I sold my home for about
one-third of its value to meet the de
mands of the city. Eight years since
I leased the property to a man who
intended to build a dock and flour mill.
but for financial reasons of his own.
has not done so. My sole Income Is
from the lease. There is no use for
dock there until I am able to locate an
industry and should I have the money
with which to build a dock, which I
have not, the money Invested would
bring no return and I should have had
to pay taxes on it all these years as
improved property- and never received a
cent for it. Its almost entire value is
the right to build out to harbor line;
my deed reads to navigation line. If
this right Is taken there will be noth
ing left.
About 90 per cent of the waterfront
in the state is owned in just such cir
cumstances as I have related in my own
case and I do not believe that the' Ore
gon people will allow such an Infam
ous deal to be consummated. It does
not seem possible or legal. Surely if
one invests money in - real estate in
Oregon, there must be
some way to pro-
tect the title or people will never come
here to buy. The people of Oregon
cannot afford to give the state, abroad
reputation for confiscating private
property without Just compensation.

WEST IS ACCUSED
Charge of Abusing Power as

COURT ACTION THREATENED
Fire Patrol of Josephine County
Taken Out of Association's Hands
Because It Refused o Favor
Railroad Over Individuals.
Charges that JJovernor West, as
chairman of the Oregon State Board of
Forestry and. through the agency of
his appointee, P. A. Elliott. State For
ester, has discriminated against the
common people and in favor of the
Southern Pacific Railroad in making
assessments for fire patrol, are made
by owners of property in Josephine
County. In addition, intimations are
made that the powers of the Board have
been used selfishly to gain political aa-
vantage by dealing out patronage simi
lar to that worked by Governor West
in connection with the State fish ana
Game Commission.
Under the right given them by law
to manage their own lire patrol through
mutual association, property owners
of Josephine County organized the Jose
phlne County Fire Patrol Association,
which provided fire protection at a cost
of 1 cent an acre. Assurances were
given the managers of this association
bv the State Forester and otners con
nected with the State Board that the
affairs of the association were man
aged satisfactorily.
Plea for Railroad Made.
By the terms of the county associa
tion rules the Oreeon & caliiornia nan
way Company (Southern Pacific) was
assessed 1 cent an acre, or 11800, for
protection to its 180,000 acres of land
lying in the county. Although the same
burden, in proportion to ownership, was
borne by other property owners in the
county. State Forester Elliott saw fit
to appear before the county association,
together with a representative of the
railroad, and urge that the association
be satisfied with payment of J260 for
the fire patrol and that the railroad
company be exempted from paying out
the required $1800 for the patrol during
the year 1918.
"Now we failed to see why we should
accent 1260 from the company in Jus
tice to the rest of us, and therefore we
refused to accept the proposal," says
C. A. Sidler. an attorney of Grants Pass,
who is secretary and treasurer of the
Josephine County Association, in a let
ter addressed to Portland men who own
nroperty in Josephine County
"It appeared, to us that Mr. Elliott
was working-for the Southern Pacific
instead of the State of Oregon and all
of the Board of Directors are still of
that same opinion."
State Board Takes Charge,
Apparently angered by the refusal of
the association to accept the payment
proffered by the railroad company, me
State Board took the patrol power into
its own hands and. now it patrols the
Josephine County lands through its
Fire Warden in that county.
In contrast to the 1 cent an acre
charted by the mutual association, the
State Board now charges the ordinary
property owners 4 cents an acre for the
service, but it charges the railroad
company only 632.82. or about two
fifthH of a cent an acre.
"This is rank discrimination and. I
intend to bring action in the courts,
said a Josephine County property-own
er in . Portland last night. "Governor
West is forever posing as the
poor
man's friend, yet here we find him

It is the cold brutal truth that about $9 out of every $10 spent
by Oregon people are gone forever so far as any good it can do us is
concerned.
Every dollar that is sent away means that a dollar of our own
money is going to find a new home elsewhere.. Every dollar spent
for labor here is going right back to work for us. Raw materials
are produced here in our own state in large quantities. Power and
running accessories are economical and available. There is no real
reason why we should not consume more home products. There Is
every reason, in fact, why we must do so if we secure the enlarged
dinner-pail brigade so necessary to our future prosperity.
Simply keep in mind that every time you favor home Industry, It
means dollars and cents in future benefit to yourself and children.
