NN SCHEME IS WORKED OUT c taln Tax Exemption by Amending ) fetate Laws and Raising $500,- 000 by Subscriptions . Are Suggested. pa amendment to the constitution of thie state of Oresron. exemptins: from I taxation the crude material used in factories, notes and accounts and the machinery and the raising- of $500,000. is jne plan or tne industrial committee of Jthe East Side Business Men's Club, as jouiiinea at tne meeting held Tues day night at club quarters in Red ilei's hall. DUn Kellaher, chairman o'f he com mitf.ee, presided and the whole ques tion of inducing manufacturing con cerns tp come to Portland was fully goVie into. It was the opinion of the comrWttee that one way was so to amend'. the state constitution to permit the foregoing exemption, as an en couragement for the establishment of manufacturiiXS' concerns here. Henry E. Reed, the - Xlounty . Assessor, was present, and he assented to the plan as feasible and practicable. The committee (decided to take steps looking to submitting this amendment to the state constttuton to a vote of the people at as early a date as pos sible. Chairman JCellaher was au thorized to appoint & special committee of three members to formulate a plan for submission of this proposed amend ment to a -vote. ) Scheme la Submitted. Another proposition taken up, was a plan to raise a larlge sum of money to aid concerns already established, and assist others in looming into the state. It was proposed that the sum of $500,000 be raised by subscriptions in this city, to be 1 used in loans to assist In establishing manufacturing Industries in atud around Portland. According ico the plan, this will provide a fuid of $500,000 for the de velopment off industries, and $20,000 for expenses. "She fund gathered would come in at tHie rate of $21,000 a month, which could tye used to build up in dustries, so tha" by the time the prom ised great business boom arrives, and . people from different parts of the world come looking for work, the state would be in shfape to give them em ployment. It was the jiidgment of the com mittee that gre&t care would have to be taken in securing the' right men to have charge of tip is fund and that it would have to bev entrusted to a body of representative wen, men who would not be controlled by clique or clan, but men who would see that a fair - deal was given the applicant, and that the money should be loaned out in a legitimate and sijfe manner only. Se curity would be - taken for what the manufacturer haA and only the amount loaned that the committee thought absolutely safe. 1 Sentiment! Backs Plan. After extended discussion, the plan was thought workable, and Chairman Kellaher was authorized to appoint a committee of five! members to formu late a plan of acVtion looking to the raising of this fuYrd. It was the unanimous sentiment of the committee that some such acti'm was necessary to develop manufacturing concerns in the state and build lip a larger pay roll. Chairman Kellaher Announced that a concern for the erection of a shipping plant requiring 150Ct feet of water front, and another (hardware manu facturing firm were (seeking Portland locations and that the committee was working in conjunction with the com panies in securing locations. Mr. Kel laher said, "We want Vo see the smoke stacks rise on all sides and the way to bring this about is to get busy and pull together." j These two committees will be ap pointed as soon as lmen are found willing to accept and do the great amount of work require.

But as for me, I felt as if I hadn't been anything but a machine. I had been pushed from pillar to post and had not had time to enjoy a single minute or me aay. 'I suppose one can carry such an idea too far," said the neighbor thoughtfully. "If one is efficient simply to make a record for efficiency, one is getting only the letter of the thing and not the spirit, and so reiEtly is injuring life. But if one lets effi ciency help him to get more of the real things of life, lets it help him to put time-consuming work through quickly, so that ho will have more than he otherwise would for more im portant things, then it is a friend."
