CITY ELECTION IS
NEXT BIG EVENT
George L Baker and W. H.
Daly Named as Possibilities
in Race for Mayoralty.
NO CANDIDATES OUT YET
Commlsslonershlps Expected to At
tract IiOng Line of Aspirants.
New Charter and Other Im-
portant Measures Listed.
The next election entertainment on
the programme is the city election,
which will be held on June 4. That
date Is the first Monday in June, as
required by the charter.
The terms of Jlayor Albee and Com
missioners Dieck and Daly expire in
June and their successors for another
four years will be chosen at the elec
tion. As the Mayor's job pays $6000 a
year and each Commissioner gets
$5000, there will be plenty of aspirants.
Mayor Albee says he will not seek
re-election. There has been much talk
to the effect that Commissioner Daly
will run. for Mayor. This may be
Bossip and nothing more, for Mr. Daly
has not said he will run.
On the other hand, neither has he
said he would not, and his jitney ac
tivities would seem to portend some
political ambition or other. If he does
not try for Mayor, it is a cinch bet that
Mr. Daly will seek another four years
as Commissioner. That is as certain
as anything can be.
Mr. Baker Mentioned.
Another who has been mentioned as
a possibility for Mayor is Commis
sioner Baker. Like Mr. Daly. Mr. Baker
has not said he would, nor has he said
he wouldn't. It's anybody's guess.
William II. Warren, secretary to
Mayor Albee, is mentioned. So are Ben
Selling, ex-Governor Oswald West and
ex-Mayor A. G. Rushlight. Nobody,
however, has as yet announced himself
as a candidate, though there has been
a deal of talk.
As the city election is a non-partisan
affair, whether a man is a Republican,
a Democrat, a Progressive, a Socialist,
or what not, is supposed to make no
difference. Anyway, political affilia
tions do not go on the ballot.
The city election also differs from
Btate elections in that there is no pri
mary contest. All the candidates go
up to the wire together. The candidate
for Mayor receiving the greatest num
ber of first, second and third-choice
votes combined is elected to that of
fice. The two candidates for Commis
sioner receiving the highest total of
first, second and third-choice votes are
elected Commissioners.
Two Comnjlsislonershlns Vacant.
The field for the two openings in
the Commissioner family will be a big
one. As before remarked. Commis
sioner Daly is a cinch bet to run for
another term, if he does not run for
Mayor. The other incumbent whose
term expires is Commissioner Dieck,
and he is considered likely to seek re
election, too.
A. L. Barbur, City Auditor, has his
yes on a Commissionership and will
probably be a candidate.
William Adams, City Treasurer, who
ran last year and was nosed out in a
close race by Commissioner Bigelow,
i3 another likelihood.
Others mentioned to date include
Eugene Smith, president of the Cen
tral Labor Council, of Portland, who
ran once upon a time as a recall can
didate for Mayor; Dr. George Parrish,
candidate for Commissioner two years
ago; J. R. Wood, whose position of
city purchasing agent has just been
abolished, and C. J. Franklin, formerly
superintendent of the Portland Rail
way, Light & Power Company.
The city ballot will have the usual
large number of proposed , charter
amendments and initiative measures.
New Charter Proposed.
Perhaps the most important of these
will be the submission of an entire
new charter abolishing the present
commission government plan with a
high-priced Mayor and four high
priced Commissioners, and substituting
therefor a mixed commission-council'
manic government.
iiuch a proposed charter has been
drawn by George S. Shepherd, W. T.
Vaughn and other residents of North
east Portland, and it is pretty sure to
be submitted to tho people by initia
tive. There is talk that other charters will
be submitted at the same time, though
nothing definite has developed as yet
to bear out the talk.
The jitney question will undoubtedly
pro before the people in some form or
another. It is considered likely that
the jitney drivers themselves will sub
mit a measure granting them a fran
chise on their own terms.
Two Bond Issues.
Two bond issues will be on the
ballot, their submission having already
been voted by the council. One calls
for an issue of $100,000 6 per cent
serial bonds for a South Portland play
ground in Marquam Gulch. The other
calls for an issue of $75,000 in bonds
for establishment of a municipal gar
bage collection system.
Members of the City Fire Bureau are
planning to submit a measure estab
lishing the two-platoon system. Such
a system will involve an increase in
the cost of this bureau of at least
$200,000 a year.
By the time the election draws a
little nearer, several other measures
probably will bob up their heads.

lieve Wish of People Should Be
Met, and Suggent Early Draft.
J. P. Newell, of the Union Dry Com

candidates for President of the State

to their attitude toward enacting a law
to make workable the bone-dry pro
hibition amendment and the appoint
ment of members favorable to prohibi
tion on the liquor committee.
"If I am elected President of the Sen
ate I will appoint a committee that will
carry out the intentions of the people
in passing the bone-dry amendment,"
said Senator Conrad P. Olson, of Mult

higher duty than to carry out the in
tentions of the people as expressed at
the election at which we were elected."
Senator C. L. Hawley, of Polk County,
after replying in the affirmative to
both questions, added the comment:
"Your committee can be of material
assistance, in fact, should be the prime
factor in assisting the committee on

the necessary bill. Would suggest that
your committee prepare a tentative
measure before the Legislature con
venes.

A near-miracle
in bookmakinz. India oaoer has
popularized the Encyclopaedia Britannica,
making it lighter in weight, compact in form,
convenient to handle, inviting to read.
"That's curious," you say
Yes, but it's true
A 10-dollar bill is more convenient to carry
than ten silver dollars, but the value is exactly
the same.
An India paper set of the new Encyclopaedia
Britannica is far more convenient than the same
29 volumes printed on ordinary book paper.
And the value of the India paper set to you is
much greater.
"That's curious," you say.
But it's true. For the Britannica, printed on
the famous India paper, is lighter, more con
venient to hold, hence more inviting to read. And
you read it more you get more value out of -it.
You know (or ought to know) what a wonder
ful book the Britannica is an inexhaustible
storehouse of knowledge on every subject which
concerns intelligent men and women. You pos
sibly have wanted a set for months need it
more today than ever. You certainly can afford
it. You ought to have it. and here's your chance
(but only for a short time) to obtain one of tho
popular India paper sets.
Only a. comparatively few sets of the new
Britannica, printed on genuine India paper,
remain untold. When these are gone, no more
can be offered, for war makes it impossible
to obtain a further supply of raw material to
make India paper for printing the Britannica.
India paper is thin as tissue, strong and opaque
as parchment. When India paper was brought
to England from the Orient back in 1841, the
secret of its manufacture baffled papermakers
for a third of a century. Finally, the secret was
discovered and Oxford India paper was produced.

India
Paper
When the Encyclopaedia Britannica adopted India
paper as a new idea, the result was a revolution in
book publishing. It worked a near-miracle of putting
this great 44.000.000-word library of fact and in
formation into 29 volumes, occupying 29 inches of
shelf space. It reduced the weight almost two-thirds.
But the real benefit has been to increase the use
fulness of the Britannica to every one who owns a set.
It is so inviting to read, you just naturally read it more
than you would a big. bulky book.
Until the Britannica adopted India paper, the output 1
of all the India paper mills in the world was only a
few hundred tons a year. These mills worked day
and night to turn out enough India paper for the Bri
tannica : then the war shut down most of the mills.
Up to this time. India paper had not been made in this
country. Months were spent in experimenting and
finally, by importing the same peculiar flax used by
the foreign mills. American India paper became a fact.
But in another six months the war crippled the flax
industry the fields in some countries were ruined, or
an embargo was placed on exportations. Now, no
more genuine India paper is obtainable for printing
the Britannica.
You want the Britannica on India paper, just as you
would prefer a 10-dollar bill to ten silver dollars. You
can still get a set. provided you act promptly. Send
in the coupon at once. Only a limited number remain
unsold, and these will go as fast as orders come in.
These sets are being offered at irresistible prices and
terms. Remember, the supply is limited, and this
advertisement will be read by thousands of persons
who. like you. want the Britannica but do not yet own
a set. No promise can be made as to how long tho
supply will last.
Think what a source of pleasure and profit you
would have in the Britannica !
This masterpiece of facts and general information
will answer every question, quicken your interest in
men and affairs, broaden your point of view, give you
a liberal education, make you a more interesting per
son, increase your efficiency and your income.
In it every subject under the sun is discussed by ex
perts 1500 men and women who were selected to write
and edit the Britannica because of their attainments in
their chosen fields. There are 41.000 separate articles,
on everything from the making of pins to the making
of empires: on manufacture, trade and commerce: re
ligion, philosophy, art. science, music, textiles, pottery,
jewelry, invention, engineering, literature, mining,
history, biography, carpentry, agriculture, law. politi
cal economy, sociology whatever is of interest to an
intelligent person. There are 15.000 illustrations (in
cluding full-page plates) and maps.

famous India paper, but it is substantially bound in
beautiful, durable leather.
