COUNTY PROBLEMS
UNDER DISCUSSION
Road, Agricultural and Unem
ployment Issues Handled
by Several Speakers.
HIGHWAY TRIP IN PROSPECT
(Road Matters and Election of Otfi
cers -byv Association of County
Judges and Commissioners to
Be Followed by Banquet.
With an attendance representative of
every section of the state, problems
faced by county governments were
considered by speakers at the fifth an
Dual convention of the Oregon State
Association of County Judges and Com
missioners which opened at the Court'
bouse yesterday. Agricultural, an
, employment and road issues occupied
the afternoon, and at night in -the 11
brary an illustrated lecture on road
building: was given.
Hoad development and maintenance
"will be discussed today, followed by
the election of officers and a banquet
at the Commercial Club. Tomorrow
morning at 9 o'clock a special train
will leave the Union depot, taking the
members of the convention to the Co
lumbia River Highway.
The combination of the practical ex
perience of the average farmer and the
scientific knowledge of the agricul
tural specialist is needed to get the
most out of the agricultural resources
of the county, declared R. D. Hetzel.
director of extension at the Oregon
Agricultural College, in his address
on "County Agricultural Develop
ment." Such a combination Is effected
through the efforts of a county agri
culturist, maintained the speaker.
Personality Declared Factor.
"The county agriculturist had his
origin in the South, but Northern and
Western states are adopting his method
of handling the farming situation, with
marked success, said Mr. Hetzel. "A
county adviser is found to be the best
means of improving agricultural condi
tions. He must, however, be a man
of scientific knowledge, with an ap
preciation of the value of practical
experience in farming, a man who will
find favor among those with whom he
works.
The speaker told how inquiries as
to the success of the employment of
a county agriculturist in Coos Coun
ty had brought replies saying that
the dairy industry was being revolu
tionized by his efforts.
Mr. Hetzel also reminded his audi
ence that the services of Professor
Bkelton, of Oregon Agricultural Col
lege, were at the service of any coun
ty that- desired lo call in a road spe
cialist for consultation.
The morning session of the conven
tion was devoted to the registration
and reception of delegates and the
reading of the reports of Phil Holbrook,
secretary, and V. H. Mattoon, treasurer-
The address of welcome was by
Lionel H. Webster, ex-Judge of Mult
nomah County, and was responded to
on the behalf of the delegates by Edwin
C. Judd, Judge of Clatsop County.
Tax Education Advocated.
Education of the public as to the
method in which taxes are spent and
for what they are spent is necessary to
do away with much of the criticism ot
County Commissioners ana officers, as
serted Grant B. Dimick. ex-Judere of
Clackamas County, who was the first
speaker on the programme. He de
clared that the people should be shown
that the State Legislature often is more
responsible for high taxes than the
County Commissioners. The employ
ment of skilled men in dealing with
road-building was advocated.
"The problem of th. "Proper Dispo
sition of the Unemployed" was the sub
ject of an address by City Commis
sioner Brewster, of Portland.
"We don't want to create work for
the unemployed if there is any that
can be done in the ordinary course of
business," he said In commenting on
the fact that cordwood cutting might
Interfere with the laborers who here
tofore have made their living by this
work. It is a problem that is not spo
radic but will be with the state year
after year, thinks Mr. Brewster. He
declared that the army of unemployed
might prove a great opportunity for
the state if put to work clearing lands
and building roads, but said that the
co-operation of County Commissioners
was essential.
H. 1. Griffin, clerk of the board for
Multnomah County, told of the care
of the indigent poor of this county.
There are now 400 at the County Poor
Farm, including 75 families. 25 per
cent of 'which are fatherless through
desertion, he said. Red tape must be
cast aside in dealing with the needy.
Bald Mr. Griffin.
"I wish to talk of the horse sense
of patronizing home industry," an
nounced R. W. Raymond, manager of
the Manufacturers' Association, the
last speaker of the session.
"The farmers don't want to know
bow to raise more crops, but they
want to know how to get a good price
for those which they raise," he said,
and proceeded to state Oregon's case.
The state is "up against" railroad rates
which make it cheaper to ship auto
mobiles from Detroit to Southern Ore
gon than from Portland, he declared,
and the indifference of public officials
and consumers is another serious
handicap, he declared.
Quoting many Instances where pub
lic contracts had been awarded to
Kaster firms when the patronage of
home industry would have been far
more satisfactory to the buyers, Mr.
Raymond scored public officials who
would discriminate against their own
ttate by sending large sums outside
of Oregon for things which could be
duplicated or excelled by Oregon
labor.
Rofus Holmu Presides.
Rufus Holman, County Commis
sioner, president of the Association,
presided.

the city who were not members' and

MANY SALOONS TO JOIN
Consolidation Movement Is Afoot
Among License Holders.
The consolidation of two or three sa
loons Into one will be attempted by a
number of saloonkeepers In Portland
next year, according to advices re
ceived by Mayor Albee. Inasmuch as
no transfer of liquor license will be
Involved It is probable the city will
have no objection to the plan.
Where there are two small saloons
close together it is planned by the pro
prietors to go into partnership for the
year, combining the stock and letting
go of one license and one saloon. The
two businesses will be conducted as
one, with only one license to keep up
and only one rent to pay. By this plan,
it Is figured, the one place will do near
ly as much business as the two and
the expense will be much less.
Several saloon proprietors have asked
the Mayor about the proposition and It
is expected It will be approved in a
number of cases.
MISTAKE 'ENDANGERS FIVE
Wrong Address Delays Firemen
Willie Home Burns Over Family.
A wrong- address, (riven the fire de
partment nearly resulted In death for
five persons when the home of George
Forester. 436 East Twenty-seventh
street, caught fire early yesterday.
The family was awakened by smoke
from a fire that already had mads con
siderable progress. Some member
turned a current of cold water into the
hot water tank, causing; the tank to ex
plode. Although no one was burned by the
hot water, the explosion added to the
confusion. Before the firemen discov
ered the right address the house was
almost destroyed. Three men and two
women barely eacaped.
The fire Is believed to have started
from defective wiring. The damage to
the building was about i 2000. fully cov
ered by Insurance. About J1500 worth
of uninsured furniture was destroyed.

EMERGENCY CLAUSE
Move Planned to Block Any
Referendum Effort on Part
v of Saloon Men.
SEVERAL DRAFTS MADE
Measures Being Prepared to Prevent
Iilqnor Sales In Clnbs or Drug
stores Taxation Topic of
. r..
Multnomah Delegation.
An emergency clause may be at
tached to the prohibition bill to be
passed at the coming legislative ses
sion, t
This will preclude the possibility of
refer, ingr the- measure to the voters
and postponing the effectiveness of the
prohibition law until the end of 1916.
It has become generally understood
that the saloon interests are eager to
invoke the referendum against the pro
hibition law" that is certain to be en
acted. This would give them at least
10 months additional time In which to
ply their trade in liquor.
The "dry" forces now are planning
to circumvent this move by asking the
Legislature to attach the emergency
clause to the law. This will make it
immediately effective at the end of
1915.
Members of the Legislature declare
that If the prohibition Interests ask to
have the emergency clause attached, it
will be attached especially if there is
any possible danger of a referendum.
Several forces now are working on
drafts of prohibition bills. The one
provision that is common to all laws
proposed on this subject is the strict
prohibition against the sale of liquor
in private clubs and in drug stores.
It seems certain that the whisky
selling drug store is doomed.
At a meeting of the Portland Retail
Druggists' Association yesterday after
noon a resolution was adopted unani
mously appealing to the members of
the Multnomah County delegation to
vote for a provision in the prohibition
bill that will make the sale of liquor
in drug storea illegal even on pre
scription. This action Is in accordance with the
previous utterances of various individ
ual druggists expressed through The
Oregonian.
The legitimate druggists of the state
declare that they don't want to sell
liquor and want the law so drawn
that "bootlegging" drug stores will be
an impossibility. They point out that
one or two whisky-selling drug stores
in a community will bring discredit
upon the entire profession.
"We don't want to sell whisky, even
on prescription," said A. W. Allen,
chairman of the druggists' committee
on legislation, yesterday. "Whisky is
not essential to the drug trade. Phy
sicians 'don't have to prescribe It. There
are other drugs that will give the same
medicinal results aa those desired by
whisky."
Legitimate druggists declare that no
legitimate prescription for whisky ever
was written.
These points are being strongly
urged upon members of the Legislature
and it is apparent that they will be
reflected in the new prohibition law.

Immediately effective the "dry" element
now Is Impressing the necessity of
applying the emergency clause to the
bill. Many legislators favor such
action.
Senator George Keuner. Jr., of Rose
burg, was in Portland yesterday. He
Is a holdover member of the Senate,
and at the last session was chairman
of the committee on revision of laws.
T have no bills up my sleeve at the
present time," he said, "and I shall
keep new bills at a minimum, if my
influence has any weight in the Leg
islature." W. Li. Liightner, Count Commissioner,
has written several members of the
Multnomah County delegation suggest
ing the advisability of placing em
ployes on the bridges and ferries oper
ated by the county on a civil service
basis.
Mr. Llghtner is eager to take the
bridge employes out of politics, he
says. '
Taxation probably will he the princi
pal subject of discussion at the .ses
sion of the Multnomah delegation next
Monday night. State Treasurer Kay
has accepted the invitation to be
present. It is probable that Ben W.
Olcott, Secretary of State, also will be
there. Members of the Railroad' Com
mission have been Invited.
In keeping with its plans of econ
omy and consolidation of state boards,
some members of the delegation are
advocating abolition of the State Tax
Commission and giving this work into
the hands of the Railroad Commission.
FIRE BUREAU GETS TRUCK
Automobile Chemical Engine Con
tract Goes to Another Company.
The Seagrave Company was awarded
a contract by the City Council yester
day for toe furnishing of a city service
automobile truck for the fire bureau
for 646S. The White Automobile Com
pany got a contract for the furnishing
of an automobile chemical engine for
$5900. The awards were made after a
series of demonstrations, of various
makes of machines which were entered
In the competition for the contracts.
Bids were opened some time ago.
The two machines were not the low
est priced. Lowest bids were submit
ted by other concerns, but were not ac
cepted. Reasons for this were not an
nounced by the Council. Definite de
cision on the machines to be accepted
was reached at a secret meeting of the
Council held earlier in the week in the
office of Mayor Albee.
ARCS MAY MARK ALARMS
Red Strips Suggested for Idght on
Pole That Carries Fire Box.
Painting of the globes of street arc
lights with red circles may be adopted
by the city as a means of indicating
the location of fire alarm boxes. The
new plan was decided upon at a meet
ing yesterday of the Public Safety
Commission in the office of Mayor Al
bee. It is planned to Install the fire alarm
boxes on the poles supporting arc
lights. Wherever there is such an
alarm box the globe of the arc light
above the box will be decorated with
a red circle or will have the upper por
tion of the globe painted red, leaving
the lower part white.

CHRISTMAS FIRES FEARED
Oity Inspector1 Asks Care In Use of
Electric Wires-on Trees.
Care in the handling of electrical
wiring in conjunction with Christmas
decorations in homes and stores Is
urged by Electrical Inspector Dunlap
in a circular letter ne has prepared. In
It he urges all persons or concerns pro
posing to install sDMlfti AiAPtri.i
tures for the holiday season to vl3lt
me electrical inspection bureau at the
City Hall and get information on
proper safeguards.

defective electrical conditions at this
season of the year are apt to result
seriously on account of the amount: nt
combustible material present. For this
reason many cities which have suffered
from experiences of this nature have
adopted stringent rules governing the
installation of such riliniaL-n ,i
prohibiting the use of cotton batting
ana onier nigniy lniiammable materia
in connection with them. In 1905 such
an ordinance was adopted by Sioux
