In Tuesday's Election Four States
Adopt Prohibition Amendments
and Four Elect Legislatures
Pledged to Pass Law.
'As a result of Tuesday's election four
more states have been voted dry and
four others have elected Governors and
Legislatures pledged to enact dry laws.
Prohibition failed to carry in California,
where both part-dry and bone-dry
measures were defeated.
The territory of Alaska, not Included
In. the United States proper, also went
dry on Tuesday.
The total number of dry Btates in
the country, including the four Jhat
went dry omTuesday, now is 23. With
the four that are expected to' go dry
by legislative enactment, the number
will be 27.
Moreover, more than 80 per -cent of
tha territory embraced by the so-called
"wet" states is dry by local option.
For instance, the state of Maryland
will be completely dry as a result of
the recent election, with the exception
of the city of Baltimore, which re-v.
mained wet through the intense activ
ity of the whisky distillers, who are
strongly entrenched there. It is re
ported that the drys already are
launching another campaign to vote
the liquor business out of Baltimore.
YVet Governor Defeated.
The four states that went dry by
votes of the people this week are South
Dakota. Nebraska, Montana and Michi
gan. The four that elected prohibition
Governors and Legislatures are Utah,
Wyoming, Texas and Florida. Whether
the desired legislation will be accom
plished in each of these last four states
is a question of some doubt, however.
Utah, though, is certain to go dry.
The people elected a dry Legislature
two years ago and the Legislature
passed a prohibition bill. Governor
Spry vetoed the measure. As a conse
quence he was defeated for renomina
tion in the Republican convention.
In Detroit and other parts of Michi
gan : the automobile manufacturers
worked almost as a unit for a dry
state.
In addition to the state-wide gains,
the drys also won considerable terri
tory in the nominally wet states ol
Wisconsin, Minnesota and Illinois.
The wets, on the other hand, lost
ground at every turn except in Cali
fornia. They attempted to repeal the
existing prohibition law in Arkansas
but failed miserably. They managed
to retain Missouri in the wet column,
but by a close margin. The city of St.
Louis, the home of some of the biggest
breweries in the United States, went
overwhelmingly wet. The western end
of the state. incUiding Kansas City,
voted dry. The Kansas City Star and
Times, Influential papers in that city,
actively supported the prohibition
cause.
California Han Dry Districts.
Fully 85 per cent of the territory in
California is dry. Sixty per cent of the
population lives in dry territory. The
following counties are wholly dry:
Butte. Glenn. Imperial, Inyo, Kings,
Lassen, Madera, Mariposa, Merced,
Orange, . Riverside,. San Bernardino,
Santa Barbara, Stanislaus, Sutter, Te
hama, Tulare and Ventura.
The complete list of proh ibition states,
including those, that voted in favor of
it on Tuesday, follows: Alabama, Ari
zona, Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia,
Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Michigan,
Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North
Carolina. North Dakota. Oklahoma,
Oregon, South Carolina. South pakota,
Tennessee,Virginia, Washington and
West Virginia.
The territory of Alaska, which also
went dry on Tuesday, is not shown in
the accompanying map.
Moreover, all the Canadian provinces
bordering on the United States west
of the Great Lakes already have pro
Dry campaigns are to be inaugurated
next year in Ohio and other big liastern
states.
It is apparent that the liquor inter
ests are beginning to realize that the
prohibition movement is destined to
grow and that they are preparing to
protect themselves against the inevi
table. Indicative of this is the recent
Rction of one of the big breweries in
St. Louis authorizing an expenditure of
2,000,000 for the erection of a soft-
drink plant.
Further evidence of the apprehension
felt by the liquor centers is the cam
paign recently undertaken by the busi
ness men of Louisville, Ky., one of the
Dig distillery centers, to secure new in
dustries to take the place of the dis
tilleries when they are voted out ot
business.

One Prominent Physician Steps Out
of Partnership for Which He Had
Been Offered $90(r0 as a
Result of the Election.
To slip a Wilson admirer that backs
up his admiration with a substantial
bet those numerous $5 gold pieces re
quires little moral courage, for few
people are "going to witness the trans
fer of capital. But to have to get out
in midday and ride in a wheelbarrow
tagged with political utterances or to
roll a peanut down one of Portland's
busy streets with a "gang" of leather
lunged newsies yelling at your heels
well, that is a different matter.
Yesterday hungry creditors sought
out debtors with derisive smiles and
election-debt paying began. None could
find solace in the issuance of a mora
torium, for such are possible Only when
the country is in a state of war.
With noon-hour loungers banked on
either side, L. Gill, still an ardent ad
mirer of Hughes, rolled a peanut down
Washington street. The process was
painful, but he stuck to his Job until
he had finished. T. O'Leary was the
Wilson man with whom Gill made his
bet.
Similar Bet to Be Paid Today.
Another peanut-rolling election bet
will be paid this afternoon, when, at 1
o'clock, D. W. Evans, an employe in
the auditing department of the Pacific
States Telephone & Telegraph Com
pany, will roll a peanut from that
building to the Majestic Theater. All
the employes of the company will wit
ness the unusual performance.
Wheelbarrows sprung into promi
hence yesterday and will continue to
be popular conveyances for several
days to come.
T. W. Mogan bet on Hughes. T. E.
Jones bet on Wilson. Yerterday Jones
was given his wheelbarrow ride, the
content of the bet, with Mogan on the
business end of the barrow. Jones'
sightseeing tour extended through the

NAVAl COMMISSION.
Members Are to Make Inspection Here
Later, and Portlanders Send
Advance Information.
Written argument favoring the es
tablishment of a naval base on the
Columbia River was dispatched yes
terday by the Portland committee to
rTie special Commission on Naval
Bases. The argument was accom
panied by maps and charts showing
the possibilities of accommodating
vessels of large size in the Columbia
River.
The Naval Base Commission plans to
visit this section later and make a
personal investigation. The members
of the commission intimated, however,
that they would like to have material
on the different prospective sjtes for
naval bases, previous to visiting those
locations.
The Portland committee, which pre
pared the material . for the commis
sion. Is composed of W. P. LaRoche,
G. B. Hegardt and G. F. Blair.
STREET NAMES TO CHANGE
Patton and Maryland Avenues to
Become Interstate Avenue.
The names of Patton avenue and
Maryland avenue are to be changed to
Interstate avenue. The Council agreed
to the change yesterday after hearing
a delegation of residents along tne two
streets.
The name Interstate avenue Is de
sired because the two avenues linked
together make an indirect connection
witii the south approach of the Inter
state bridge. The change will be ac
complished in an ordinance within a
short time.

PORT LEVY. GROWS
Tax Limitation Measure Lops
$47,000 From Budget.
INCREASE IS .02 MILL
Port of Portland Commission, Meets
November 23, When Taxpayers .
May Be Heard;-Budget Last
Year Was $315,000.
Already the 6 per cent tax limitation
measure, which has unquestionably car
ried, according to returns from Tues
day's election and goes Into effect im
mediately on th"e completion of the offi
cial canvass, and that must be made in
30 days, lops $47,000 from the budget
of the Port of Portland Commission. To
overcome that the levy will be 1.2 mills
instead of 1 mill as last year.
John Doyle, assistant .secretary of
the Commission, cast that bomb Into
the members' midst yesterday when the
forthcoming levy came up for prelm
inary discussion. The total of the
budget as first arrived at was $344,740
and. as under the new law. the Port, be
ing a municipal body, is empowered
only to make a levy to derive not more
than 6 per cent over that of the pre-
ceding year for general purposes, the
schedule must be cut down.
For the operation of four dredges
with their tenders and payrolls and the
towage department, $294,640 was esti
mated, and for administration $17,800.
with provision made for Interest on
outstanding bonds and sinking fund.
The Commission is to meet November
23 to make the levy for the coming
year, when taxpayers may be heard tor
or against the levy.
The levy of 1 mill last year pro
duced $315,000, and since the assessed
valuation of Multnomah County prop
erty has been cut approximately $295,
000, one-tenth of a mill additional was
to be levied, and with tlje new meas
ure becoming effective two-tenths ad
ditional is necessary.
Bids on 50 tons of three-quarter-inch
steel plate to be used as pipe fining in
dredging work, were rejected because
a price of 7Vi cents a pound for the
material was regarded too high, in
spite of the fact steel has jumped in
price so that It is difficult to obtain.
It was voted to 'accept a proposal to
carry insurance on the drydock and
machino shop property to protect the
Commission against personal Injury
claims from employes there, or out
siders visiting the property. The total
cost was said to be $52,43 for the
policy.

Action by the Council yestorday In
granting permission for the Alblna En

that cross the Montgomery dock prop
erty, where a steel shipyard is to be
laid out at once, led to the statement
by W. D. Kenton, attorney for the
Hannah Mason estate, that offers of
purchase as well as for leasing land
held by the estate for shipbilding pur
poses, hinged on the Council vacating
parts of River. Beaver, Bond. Vermont
and Florida streets.
There are 120 lots in the tract and
negotiations have been started for the
site, providing the street vacations are
possible. William Cornfoot. of the Al
blna Engine and Machine Works, is
ready to go ahead with his yard and
the only obstacle has been the delav
in getting the matter of strfets to be
used before the Council. He will start
with two ships of 3300 tons dead
weight, and no doubt increase his con
tracts to four.

Greece is en route here to negotiate
for tonnage, if possible, probably deal

J. W. Kaste is also endeavoring to
obtain tonnage for New York interests,
and so far has been unsuccessful among
builders on the river, vessels being
held at figures above what his elient
would pay. In view of that, Mr. Kaste
said yesterday that steps would be
taken to organize & company and build
vessels.

Port of Portland Increases Amoun
of Material Given Gratuitously.
Appreciating the importance of ship
building in the developmentof the cit

mission yesterday voted to pump 120
000 cubic yards of material onto th
site of the Heath Shipbuilding Com
pany without extra cost, other than
for shore work and to do the same for
the Columbia River Shipbuilding Cor
poration, which, is establishing a plant
for steel ships between the property of
the Heath company and the Northwest
Steel Company. The first arrangement
was for 60,000 yards. Material In ex
cess of 120,000 yards will be paid for
at tiie rate of 8 cents a yard, plus shore
work.
The Columbia River yard was firnt
to cover seven acres, and more land
was taken so 12 acres are to be used,
thereby Increasing the amount of fill
ing material from about 150.000 yards
to 300,000 yards. -A. F. Smith, repre

MemlKTS of Portland Association
Lxprefs Antagonism to Vnions
Stand on Jitneys and Its Kff
fort for Closed Shop.
Copies of The Oregonian containing
the map published yesterday showing
Oregon to be the only Western state in
the Union tlfat gave Its electoral votes
to Hughes and containing tho glad,
news that the vicious single-tax meas
ure had been defeated by nearly a four-to-one
vote are to be mailed generally
through the financial centers of tho
Kast. according to informal announce
ments made by several Influential mem
bers of the Portland Kea'.ty Board at
yesterday's luncheon meeting in the
crystal dining-room of the Hotel Ben
son.
These ropers are to be sent in order
to prove that Oregon is conservative
and to correct the impression that Ore
gon Is a radical state which is subject
to the enactment of freak laws that
tend to frighten capital. "We v.nnt to
show them that we have some degrow
of sanity despite the abuses that have
crept up tinder the Oregtm system," in
the way H. H. Ward, manager or n o
Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany, put It. He was applauded vigor
ously when he said he was prou.l of
Oregon's stand, in the Presidential elec
tion.
The Idea of sending Kast copies of
The Oregonian showing the election
results was first suggested by John A.
Haak. a Portland timberman. Both Mr.
Ward and Mr. Haak. as well as Brm-s
Rowan, recited Instances where capit.il
had been kept away from Oregon by
fear of the operations of tho Oregon
system.
Labor Leaders Criticised.
Incidentally the free and unlimited
use of the initiative and referendum
came in for severe criticism at the
hands of realtors, several of whom also
took shnrp slops ot the abor leaders
of Portland who have stood sponsor
for the jitneys and the slntrlo tax.
while on this point and following a
talk by C. W. Hodson the Realty Board
went on record in favor of strict regu
lation of the jitneys. By regular mo
tion the board empowered its presi
dent. F. K. Taylor, to represent it at
the coming mass meeting on th" Jitney
situation and express its desire that
the Jitneys be compelled to operate un
der franchises similiar to that under
which the Portland Railway. Light &
Power Company. operates.
"The question hits gone far beyond
the Portland Railway. -Light e Peiv.-er
Company," said Mr. Hodson. "The hon
or of the city is at stake in protecting
the rights of the company under ii
franchise. It has also resolved Itself
into n nucstion of unionism ogainft
open shop. ,The proposed repeal of the
present jitney ordinance is a very cun
ning scheme to crene an a H-novrerf n I
Jitney union, with broad powers and.
influence.
lr. IJalv Aaaalled.
Mr. Hodson also contended that Com
missioner imiy is a union man, v m
Is now acting as champion of the Jit
ney Drivers' Union, and related Ihi
threat recently given by Kimene K.
Smith to the effect that the union men
will not accept any ordinance unit s
it is satisfactory to their interests ana
wishes.
Charles K. Henry was unotner to
take a flinif nt unioni.-ln and also at
single tax. which, he said, had also
been attempted in California this year.
e insisted that District Attorney
Kvins should be timed to follow ui
the frauds In the petitions which placed
the single tax measure on the uhiioc
ihij v..!.r Herbert Gordon, thairman
of the Realty Board committee which
had chargo or the right rsainsi in"
single tax measure, assured Mr. Henry
and the Board members that the fraud
will be traced thoroughly, and also
explained that the committee was be
ing continued with tne nope ot lurm-lii.-
legislation that, will place somo
curb on the initiative and referendum.
Mr. tionlon's committee was lencierea
a vote of thanks. a
I nlonlam Derlared Arrogant.
"This control of Oregon by unionism
Is the case of a little hit ot a tail
wagging a big dog." said Mr. Henry.
"One thing we must do is to stop pick
eting bv a vote of the people as they
did In California. Mark my word, w
won't get desirable industries in "r"
gon unless we hold unionism down."
Kiirlng the discussion Mr. Hodson
predicted that strikes and picketins
would result in case Twohy Bros. se.
cured the contracts for boxcars, hiria
for w hich were recently invited by R. ii.
Lovett. of the t'nlbn Pacific system.
Leo Krlede expressed the belief that
unions ultimately would dissolve them
selves by reason of the viclousncss of
their radical leaders.
TV. Cronan. who acted as "referee
for the occasion, which was given over
to free and open discussion, admon
ished the. realtors to forget politics.
"The election is over now, and it la
time for us to throw away our pint
and signs and get back to bUEinesR.'
he said.
, Many realty men commented yes
terday on a large sign that has been
placed by C. K. Henry on the Henry
building at Fourth and Oak streets.
In addition to reference to the Presi
dential election this si-n says: "C'Ken.
Ism is killed. The decaying and nause
ating remains ought to be deported as
we do with lepers and other pests."
