; BURDEN OF TAXES
ON ROADS SILL
J. B. Yeon Tells of Low Rate
n Which Will Result if
Bonds Are Issued.
GREAT 'BENEFITS CITED
Progressive Business Men's Club
Hears How King County, Wash
ington, Is Building Up Coun-
try by Good Highways.
By the pood roads bond issue, an
. election for which will be held next
month, the citizen paving taxes on
an assessed valuation of $1000 will have
to pay only 18 cents a year for the first
four years for good roads, while the
man whose property values are small,
taxed or. an assessed valuation of 1500,
will pay only 9 cents and the laboring
man will benefit greatly by the work,
asserted John B. Teon. the principal
speaker on "Good Roads' day of the
Progressive Business Men's Club yes
terday at the Multnomah Hotel.
Mr. Yeon went into details of the
campaign for the $1,250,000 bond issue
tor the benefit of Multnomah County
roads, showed by figures how far this
county was behind King County, in
which Seattle is situated, in the matter
of good roads, and told in detail how
beneficial the paving of miles of coun
try road in the county would be to
tliis metropolis.
Seattle Outdoing Portland.
"Did you know, young gentlemen,
that King County in Washington has
constructed many miles of paved road
way, some of which cost $28,000 a
mile?" asked Mr. Yeon. "And what is
more, that county is going to build
many more miles this year. That is
how far Seattle is outdoing Portland.
The -raspberry growers and the milk
canneries in the Pnyallup Valley today
are doing a business estimated in the
millions, due to good roads as well as
rood railroad transportation. The berry
men are doing close to $SOO,000 a year
business with the railroads on eastern
shipments, which have proved a good
market for the Puyallup berry. The
White River milk canneries are doing
a trade of $2,J00.00O only 14 miles
from Seattle, and there are close to
30,000 cows only that short distance
from Seattle.
"Some may ask, "What are we going
to do if we win the bond issue fight
and continue the construction of these
fine roadways?" First of all we will
put 22.000 acres between Shaniko and
the Upper Sandy River within easy
access of a big market; we will place
S00O acres between Troutdale and Port
land on an avenue unexcelled in the
United States so far as market trans
portation is concerned. We are going
to put Eastern Oregon and Idaho in
easy touch by vehicle with Portland
and we are going to place the beautiful
Crater Lake country in easy access for
thu California tourist who wants to
get away from the hot, burning and dry
Cummers of the southern state.
'We need and ask your help."
Plana of Organisation Outlined.
Previous to Mr. Yeon's address,
Julius I Meier, president of the Co
lumbia Highway Association, told in a
few words the plartti of that organiza
tion, of the work- it had done, was
doing and expected to do. and gave in
printed form a few reasons why the
citizens' support was asked in favor
of the bond issue, which will be voted
upon on April 14. The reasons follow:
In those communities where good roads
abound the taxpayers are building more.
A guaranteed article at the same price
as ona not guaranteed Is preferable. In the
matter of roads Oils holds good. A road
irtmranteed for 10 years is cheaper to the
taxpayer than s macadamized or other road,
as the yeariy average maintenance expense
lor 10 years exceeds the original cost o a
good paved road.
Ths aase with which a farmer can haul a
load on a paved road is about four times that
vl th usual dirt road.
Paved country roads ars available and
In use all the year around.
Paved country roads make larger and
better townships and cities.'
The country schools are always filled
where good roads prevail and statistics show
a better development of the boys and girls.
Good roads Invariably increase the value
of abutting property. In proportion the
assessed valuation adds a little tax on the
farmer but be produces more, makes more
money.' Taxes axe decreased and equalized
in all communities.
one of the greatest of all crops is the
tourist crop for a state like Oregon, with
its scenic wonders and its unlimited, re
sources. Good roads are the means to an
end to secure this harvest all the year
around, not mentioning those who will talte
up a permanent residence.
Multnomah County has 3Mi miles of paved
roads outside the city. King County (Seat
tle) has 110 miles and a prosperous farm
ing community. Let's make Multnomah
tounty more prosperous by securing 70 miles
additional of paved highway. Including all
the main trunk lines leading into our city.
Every dollar expended on good roads, ex
eeptinff a small fraction thereof, remains In
the community affected and provides em
ployment for thousands of men.
The improvement of the roads enumerated
In the present petition will open up to the
farmer undeveloped land in excess of 2"0,00o
crcs.

The Mayor said yesterday that he
proposed to adopt the recommenda
tions of his report as a part of his
policy and to attempt to bring them
to a realization as soon as possible.

derelicts and idle or vicious men will
receive serious consideration as soon
as a plan can be worked ouc
"It is my purpose," said the Mayor
yesterday, "to try to help the derelict
and the down-and-out. It seems to
me that it does no good to lock a man
in jail and keep him there .idle for
months at a time. '
"The workhouse system has been a
success 4n many of the Eastern cities
and I believe it would be in Portland.
I have considerable data on the sub
ject now and expect -to get more.
Owing to the fact that our appropria
tions have all been arranged for in the
budget adopted last Fall there Is little
likelihood of our being able to do much
in the way of actually establishing a
workhouse this year."
The Mayor says he is busy now
with plans for the detention home for
women, which is to be erected on a
tract of land purchased recently -near
the Multnomah County Farm. There
is more than $30,000 available for
this project. The Mayor says his plan
now is to establish the home on the
cottage basis rather than to have one
large building.
Establishment of a municipal news
paper is one of the possibilities for
the near future, the Mayor says. He
proposes to enlarge the bulletin issued
by the Health Bureau-each month so
as to allow space for general news of
city affairs. It is proposed to circu
late these publications among the tax
payers and the public generally.
MR.DALY WON'T COFvlPLY

BUSY MEN WORKING
FOR CONSOLIDATION
Committee in Charge of Move

CIVIC INTERESTS RESPOND
Filial Review of Reorganization Plan
Is Taken TJp and All Express
Satisfaction With Carefully
Worked Out Scheme.
A conference of the consolidation
committee in charge of the planning
for the new Portland Chamber of Com
merce with 25 of the leading business
men of the city was held yesterday at
the Commercial Club for a final re
view of the plans before their presenr-
tation to the members and prospective
members of the organization, who will
eventually comprise a committee of
the whole to act on them.
The matter was gone over in detail
and the men present were as a unit
in expressing their satisfaction with
the carefully worked-out scheme. Much
enthusiasm was displayed as the meth
od of operation was explained, and it
was revealed how smoothly and effi
ciently the organization may be oper
ated under strict adherence to the gen
eral form, which admits of great flex
ibility in the application of details.
Civic Spirit Displayed.
"There is a wonderfully fine spirit
of patriotism and devotion to civic
interests of Portland," said H. V. Chase,
in speaking of the progress of the work
of reorganization at the committee
meeting. "The response to the call for
volunteers to canvass for members next
week has been splendid. In no campaign
of the many which we 'have conducted
has there been a better response. The
best business and professional men are
volunteering to take a few hours of
their valuable time each day for three
or four days next week to carry this
important work forward.
"The attitude which the leading men
of the city are showing towards the
reorganization seems to confirm what
I have before said that here in Port
land is the opportunity for making this
the most modern, strongest and leading
commercial organization in the United
States. If the memberships are se
cured in the same ratio as the response
to the request for volunteers, this end
will be attained."
Busy Men Enrolled.
It was seen on surveying the list of
names of those having offered to as
sist in the membership campaign that
the busiest men in the city are found
enrolled, as is the case in all the most
successful campaigns of this character.
Some 800 have already volunteered to
spend two hours a day for four days
next week in this . membership cam
paign.
"The call for uniting in one organ
ization all the promotion and develop
ment and civic bodies of the city is
not that it will reduce the amount of
money which will be expended in Port
land for this work, but that the ex
penditure of this amount of money
through one organization conducted on
the most efficient lines will bring
greater results and he of much more
benefit to Portland and to every cit
izen of Portland," said a member of
the committee at the close of the meeting.
"The committee realizes that there
is a call for more effort and for its
being expended along more lines than
heretofore. How best to meet these
conditions has been one of the impor
tant factors leading to the decision to
combine for greater force and higher
efficiency."
There will be a meeting of the ex
ecutive officers of the Retail Mer
chants' Association at 9 o'clock this
morning to confer with Mr. Chase re
garding consolidation. Similar meet
ings with the Retail Grocers Associa
tion and Manaufacturers' Association
will be held March 22 and 23, respect
ively.
A new feature of the working of the
consolidated bodies will be to exploit
the climate and scenery of the State of
Oregon, which is believed to be un
equaled elsewhere, and thus attract
more tourists to the state.

Most Florida grapefruit do not become fully

few varieties are matured and ready for eating
earlier in the season. The Exchange growers
confine their fall shipments entirely to these
