REMOTE VOTERS TO

Sections of County With
. Plea for Highways.
LABOR TO HAVE BIG SHARE
Orators Point Out Small Charge
to Average Property-Owner and
Benefit to Farmers and Work
ers That Mar Be Gained.
Every part of Multnomah County Is
to get the netaagt of "'good roads" be
fore the epecial bond election is neia
one week from tomorrow.
Roadmaster Teon Is the principal
"good roads" orator and. as he la well
acquainted with the subject, his pres
ence is in demand probably more than
that of any other speaker. He is ar
ranging to address a series of meet
ings from now until election day on
a schedule that closely resembles that
of the familiar candidate for political
honors.
Last night he spoke at the Sellwood
T. M. C. A. and procured the indorse
ment of a large crowd of enthusiasts
for the bond issue.
At 11 o'clock this morning be will
talk before a meeting of grangers in
the East Side Library at East Eleventh
and Alder streets. Tonight he will
address the Spanish-American Warj
Veterans at the Court House. Wednes
day night he will speak at Sunnysid
He is arranging a schedule of dates
that will keep him busy until the eve
of the election.
Small Home Owner to Pay Little.
Another enthusiastic meeting was
held at Maplewood last night.
Lee was the principal speaker. Mr.
Lee emphasized the fact that the small
home owners and the workingmen will
not be called upon to pay much of the
proposed Jl. 250. 000 bond issue. He
pointed out that of the total assessed
valuation of 33a.000,ooo in the county,
more than S250.000.000 is held by per
sons who pay taxes on valuations of
S10.000 or more.
"If these persons want to bond them.
selves to build the roads, he said, "we
should by all means help them do it.
They have to pay for it and we will
a-et the benefit from it."
He also laid stress1 upon the fact that
of the whole bond issue of J1.250.0U0
fully $1,000,000 will be paid out to labor.
Many laboring men were present and
agreed to vote for the bonds.
Roadmaster Yeon declares that one
of the best meetings of the campaign
was that held at Arion Hall Sunday
night, when he addressed a crowd of
about 600 Socialists. The men gave him
a respectful hearing and applauded
many of his statements. Although
many of the men present said that they
were not registered voters, a large
number of them told Mr. Yeon that they
would vote lor the bonds.
Well-to-Do Socialist Attacks.
At the conclusion of Mr. Yeon's ad
dress Peter StreifT. a Socialist attorney,
denounced Mr. Yeon, S. Benson and
everyone connected with the good roads
movement. StreirT is a well-to-do land
owner and lives south of Portland. He
appealed to the men to vote against the
bond issue and to stand out for a wage
of 5 per day. then to organize and ob
tain possession of the Yeon building,
the Benson hotel and other privately
owned property for the purpose of
"showing the capitalists where they be
long.
At all his meetings Mr. Yeon has un.
certaken to answer questions from
persons in the audience. Invariably
some one asks him regarding the pro
posed expenditures for hard-surfacing
the Columbia River Highway. This
road is only one of the many that is
to be improved under the proposed
bond issue, but only about one-fourth
of the entire amount is to be spent on
that project.
The engineers' estimates provide for
expenditure of 3o4,016 on the Colum
bia River road from Chanticleer to the
Hood River County line.
Savins by Bonds Predicted.
The balance of the $1,250,000 fund
will go to the improvement of the Base
Line road, the Sandy road, the Powell
Valley road, the Foster road, the Can
yon road, the Capital Highway and the
St. Helens road. Every portion of the
county will obtain a portion of the im
provement.
The fact that the bond issue will ef
fect an actual saving over the present
system of road maintenance also is
pointed out at every meeting by the
various speakers. The interest on the
bonds at 4 per cent will be only $62,000,
while the present cost of maintenance
of the 70 miles that it is proposed to
improve is $100) a mile, or $70,000, be
sides $18,000 a year for oiling. It will
cost the county precisely $15,000 less to
issue the bonds than not to issue them.
The good roads enthusiasts are much
encouraged over the interest that the
women are taking in the movement. At
every meeting a large proportion of
the audience has been women.
A special meeting for women will be
heki on the ground floor of the Yeon
building at 4:30 o'clock today. It is
proposed to organize the women into
committees and to enlist their support
for the work in all parts of the
county.
ROADMASTER TO RETIRE
PREDICTS E. E. COOVERT
We Cannot Always Have John B. Yeon With Us," Says Road Enthusiast,
Who Declares That It Is Essential That Full Issue Be Authorized.
BY B. E. COOVERT. I money can be expended under the direc-
ASSUME that everyone in Multno-1 tion of John B. Yeon, our present
man County is so well acquainted County Roadmaster.
with the road situation and so thor
oughly impressed with the necessity
of issuing the bonds so that we can
open our roads to the all-year traffic
by the farmer that I must call atten
tion to another phase of the present
campaign that cannot be emphasized
too much.
A few captious critics have stated
that the clause in the Notice of Elec
tion "no more than $1,250,000 to be
issued in any one year" would author
ize an expenditure of an amount in
excess of the $1,250,000.
This is not true. The petition for
the election and the order of the Com
missioners limit the bond issue to $1,
250.000.
The notice is a verbatim copy of the
form of notice set out in the law.
(Session laws 1913. page 173.)
After setting out the amount and
date of maturity, it reads "No more
than dollars to be issued in
any one yea.r. ,
As all the amount is to be spent, or
probably will be spent the first year,
It was quite proper to fill out the
blank form with the full amount of
the bond issue.
The notice for the election was
drawn up in accordance with the law
as herewith provided. It would be im
possible for the County Commissioners,
under the proposed authorization by
the people, to issue more than $1,250,
000 in bonds.
But it is essential that the full issue
be authorized this year, so that the
The county is fortunate, indeed, fb
have a man of Mr. Yeon's capabilities
and enthusiasm in charge of road work.
To think of a man of his position leav
ing his private affairs and devoting all
his time to the interests of better
roads would make the facts hard to
realize, did we not know them to be
true.
We cannot hope to have a Joh
Yeon with us forever. It is a safe
prediction that this is his last year as
roadmaster. Are the taxpayers satis
fled with the results he has already
obtained? If so, let's get behind him
in this movement. Did you notice that
out of the appropriation for recov
ering the Vancouver trestle he turned
back into the general road fund more
than $4000 clear saving? we can trust
him and our Board of County Com'
missioners to spend this money.
The necessity for paved, trunk nign
ways has passed the argument, stage.
The vast acreage of tillable brush land
in the country tributary to these high
ways must be converted into homes.
The burden of taxes must be spread
more equitably over the county and
Portland's prosperity will be enhanced
thereby.
The bonds will carry, it is tne great
est and most far-reaching public im
provement ever before contemplated in
the state. Taxpayers will not turn It
down.
Will the bond issue hurt the little
fellow? As more than $1,000,000 will
be distributed for labor, it is safe to
assert that many working men will
be the bonds' best boosters.

ARCHITECT PICKS TYPE
ASSISTANT TO BE NAMED TO HELP
ON AUDITORIUM PLANS.
Contractor, Now In New York, Advises
Structure of Concert Hall Rather
Than Hippodrome Style.
A Portland architect will be selected
to represent J. H. Freedlander, of New
iora, wno nolds the contract for the
drafting of plans for Portland's pro
posed puoiio auditorium. Word to this
effect was received by City Commis-
ioner Brewster from Mr. Freedlander.
The local architect will confer with the
City Council as to the desires of the
Council for the building and will co
operate with Mr. Freedlander, who will
prepare the working plans in New
ork. The architect has not been named
as yet.
In his letter, which is the first re
ceived from Mr. Freedlander since the
State Supreme Court handed down the
decision to the effect that the Market
block might be UBed as a site for the
500.000 auditorium building. Mr. Freed
lander makes a number of suggestions.
Concerning the character of the new
building," reads the letter, "we sug
gest that It be designed more on the
lines of a concert hall rather than a
hippodrome type, as intended in the
original programme. This would make
It possible to insure successful hearing
and vision, the two most important
elements in any large hall. The acous
tie and sight lines could be made per
feet and the building used not only
for all musical events, such as orches
tral concerts, choral singing and organ
recitals, but also for conventions, pub
lic meetings or other purposes involv
lng speaking from a platform.
"Furthermore, for horticultural or
other exhibits, public balls or dancing.
a temporary floor over the orchestra
and at the level of the stage could be
provided, or If it is desired to keep the
main floor of the auditorium level, an
arrangement of movable seats might be
installed, although, in our opinion, per
manent seats on an Incline are prefer
able.
"Your suggestion of a smaller hall
for chamber music and minor meetings
we believe to be an excellent one. and
In the plan provision for a room of
this kind readily can be made. We
also think that rooms for the Oregon
Historical Society (as indicated in the
old programme), as well as a gallery
for exhibition paintings, should be made

"The auditorium, above all else,
should be permanent In its character,
and no attempt made at dividing it up
by means of mechanical devices, which
In the end always produce a most un
satisfactory result.
LIQUOR CASES DISMISSED
Charges of Refilling Bonded Bottles
Dropped by Government.
Two Federal cases were dismissed
yesterday by Deputy United States At
torney Rankin, upon recommendation
of the Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue. They were those against unaries
J. Stubling and the firm of Adams &
Porter, both liquor dealers of The
Dalles. Indictments were returned by
the recent Federal grand jury charging
the refilling of bottles of whiskey,
marked with Government bonding
stamps, with liquor of lower proof
than that originally contained in the
bottles.
As evidence, the bottles seized were
sent on to Washington to have tests
made. The Stubling bottle was broken
in transit and the Government chem
ist who examined the other specimen
reported that the difference in proof
of the whisky disclosed by the tests
was so slight that it was impossible
for him to make the flat statement.

in the St. Johns municipal campaign.
Although a Mayor and a full list of
citv officials was elected, this item
overshadowed all the rest.
There was a live, active Merger club
working for the consolidation, and an
other live and equally active Anti-
Merger club working in opposition to it.
Fall Vote Is Cast.
A series of ante-election meetings
carried the merger issue Into every
home in the city. As a result the en
tire population was aroused and one of
the biggest votes in the history of the
city was recorded. The registration
which closed 10 days before the elec
tion was 1544. The number cast yes
terday was 1296. The proportion of
women's votes was heavy.
St. Johns has a population of appro
lmately 5000 persons. Its corporate
boundary line adjoins that of Portland
on the north. It is a thriving comma
nlty devoted principall yto manufactur.
lng and shlDPlnfr industries.
The principal arguments used in ia
vor of the annexation were that St.
Johns would receive the benefits of
Portland's municipally owned water
plant and a lower rate for water, that
Portland's Are and police protective
systems would be afforded to the peo
Die of St Johns, that the tax rate
would be reduced and that the advan
tages of Portland's trade schools and
other branches of its modern school
system would be at once available to
the St. Johns boys and girls without
tuition.
Former Decision Ratified.
The people of St Johns voted once
before in favor of annexation to Port
land. That was about five years ago.
But the Supreme Court later held that
the law under which the vote was
taken was unconstitutional and the re
sult of the election was nullified.
The Legislature of 1913 thereupon
submitted to the people a constitutional
amendment correcting the law under
which the previous election was held.
This amendment was adopted at the
election last Fall and the Legislature
this year enacted a law prescribing the
process by which future elections on
this should be conducted. Yesterday's
election was In accordance with this
law which was Introduced In the
Legislature by Representative D. C
Lewis, a resident of St. Johns and one
of the hardest workers for the merger.

ROAD COMMITTEE IS TO ACT
Indorsement of Bond Issue by
Grange Delegates Expected.
The road committee, appointed by
J. J. Johnson, master of Pomona
Grange of Multnomah County, will
hold an important meeting today in
the Branch Library. East Eleventh and
East Alder streets, at 1 o'clock to take
action on the proposed road bond Issue.
Its capacity Is only advisory. There
has been an effort made to swing the
grange against the bond issue openly,
but this has failed so far for the
reason of the strong sentiment mani
fested among the farmers of this coun
try in favor of good roads. Talks
against the bond issue at the Po
mona Grange meeting at Gresham did
not succeed. The strong indorsement
(riven by Columbia and Eairview
Granges Saturday, it Is believed, will
afreet the committees action.
R. P. Rasmussen, a prominent
farmer and member of Columbia
Grange, said:
"I am glad the Columbia Grange in
dorsed the bond issue. I cannot see
why any farmer in Multnomah County
can vote against the bonds when they
win cost htm so little. I intend to
do all I can to prevent outsiders from
swinging the committee against the
oond issue and placing the Grange ic
a raise position.
Roadmaster Yeon will address the
road committee.

fact that the men are on trial, not for

on a charge of conspiracy. He said tl.o
