TODAY WE WIND UP THE FISCAL BUSINESS YEAR Big Demands Are More People and Cash, Says A. L. Mills. OF 1914-1915 IN A BLAZE OF ULUK Y I Hr-IHW'ft U';Hli,;IUi REALTY BOARD HEARS TALK Aicld Initiative Willi Care, AVarns Speaker, Wlio Also Advises Good Koud-t and Protection, for Farmers and Land Buyers. That Oregon needs more population and more capital above everything else was the contention of A. U Mills, pres ident of the First National Bank, in his address at the weekly luncheon of the Portland Realty Board at the Com mercial Club yesterday.' He heralded good roads as the best mans of yetting people on the land. After denouncing certain unwhole some uses of the initiative, he sarcas tically referred to one Portland news paper which insisted that the initia tive was not dangerous by saying that everybody with any sense knows It is. O. k. Peak was chairman of the day. "We all live off the farmer. Few of us in the city produce anything of value." said Mr. Mills. '"The wealth of the state is in the fields, forests and streams, and we owe It to the country people upon whom we live to see that they have every advantage possible to make life attractive. 1.1st Cheap Lama's la Advice. -We should have the cheap lands of our state listed by the commercial clubs of each county and these lists should be kept on file In Portland. "When a newcomer reaches Portland he should be met at the station by a reputable agent and aided In choosing his land. When he makes bis selec tion the newcomer should be billed through to the commercial club near est the land he has chosen. That com mercial club then should see that the land he has selected is what was rep resented. All this should be done with out expense to the settler. "One satisfied settler is a better ad vertisement than 10.000 highly col ored descriptive pamphlets. A new comer who has been induced to visit Oregon and who finds that the returns are not as represented is apt to re turn east spreading poison wherever he goes. "After the newcomer has been well located, the commercial organizations should furnish him with the means, if necessary, to equip his place properly. "As everyone knows, capital Is timid, but capital flows In wherever there is opportunity for good returns and where it is not harassed, hampered and possibly confiscated by unwise legis lation. Capital Jieeds Favorable Law. In other words, to get capital to come to our state we must rid Oregon of the reputation of being the fool state of the Union, where every polit ical quack tries out his experiments in government. To bring capital here we must make our laws favorable to Investors. To that end we must sup port every movement that has ror its purpose the curtailment of vicious or freak legislation. The Initiative is a measure that everyone recognizes to be dangerous in its present form. e should support a movement to restrict its operations. ' "The initiative is not all bad, but nearlv so. and should be only used on great questions, those, for instance, on which he Legislature has failed to act and the merits of which easily are understood by the people. "Then again, we should have a defi nite and fixed system of taxation that is stable, a system that does not change with the whim of every the orist. Capitalists fear to make fixed Investments where they may be taxed to the point of confiscation. FOUR VISITORS PLAN STAY Body for Advancement or Science May Stop Over in Portland. i Mrmiipr of the American Association for the Advancement of Science are con templating not only visiting Portland "on their wav from the East to the con vention, which they will hold in San Francisco in August, but hope to make a stay of several days in Portland and to take several side trips to points of interest, according to a letter sent to the Chamber of Commerce by Secretary A L. Banons, of the association. Mr. Banons asks the chamber to send htm at once all available literature con cerning the points of especial interest in Oregon and the most popular side trips that can be made out from Port land by tourists. - LIQUOR COMPANY FORMED Articles Filed to Do Business Until Oregon Goes Dry.
