THE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1916. CARVER RIGHTS ARE UP TO ADVERTISING Routine Provided for Passing Franchises Will Require Four Months' Time. GRANTS NOT EXCLUSIVE Requirements of Council Are De signed to Give Increased Serv ice to Residents With Adequate Safeguards. All question regarding the fran chise provisions of a city-wide Jitney service proposed by Stephen Carver were settled by the City Council yes terday and the franchises were Bent up for official advertising. Under the city charter they will be advertised at once and 20 days allowed to elapse be fore they corae up for semi-final con sideration of the Council. During that SO days any person objecting to the franchises may file written objections, which will be considered publicly by the Council. At the end of 20 days the Council will give the franchise their first official reading, after which they will go over for 30 days before coming up for final passage. After final passage it will become effective in 60 days. This pro cedure, which will be carried out. will require four months, which means that the service proposed by Mr. Carver would be established May 1. Between final passage and the date the fran chises go into effect a referendum may be invoked which will hold up the grants until the next city election, when they will be voted on by the pUbllO. The franchises sought by Mr. Carver call for continuous operation over 11 different routes extending into all the principal parts of the city, with trans fer privileges. These lines are sepa rated from streetcar lines except in a few instances, such as over the bridges and in some parts of the business dis trict. Mr. Carver not only has met the Council's demand that the Jitney and streetcar service be separated, but he .1bo has met all regulations demanded by the Council. These things were all offered to the Jitney Drivers" Union, but rejected, the union insisting on getting a franchise on the close-in streetcar lines, with virtually no re strictions or regulations. Mr. Carver will provide bonds aggre gating $2500 to guarantee establish ment of his service as called for in the franchises. This money will be for feited to the city in case of failure to establish the service. Bonds aggregat ing $27,500 are to be furnished for pro tection in case of accident. The Carver franchises are not ex clusive, but any other concern, includ ing the Jitney Drivers' Union, can get similar rights by meeting the same conditions. Other streets not taken b Mr. Carver are open, except streets used by the street railway lines, which the Council holds are of such nature as to make Jitney service dangerous, as was demonstrated in the accident last Saturday on "Washington street, which resulted in two Jitney passengers being killed in a clash with streetcars. TAXICAB LICEXSES SOUGHT Jitney Men Figure on Operating Un der Zone System. Figuring that it will be possible for Jitneys to continue operating under the City Council's new zone system for taxlcabs. Jitney drivers are making ap plication for taxlcab licenses for the quarter year, commencing January 1. A large number of applications for licenses were filed yesterday. License Collector Hutchinson is granting the applicants taxlcab licenses, but not Jit ney licenses. City Commissioner DIeck yesterday announced that he will put the Coun cil's new taxlcab zone system into ef fect next Thursday. He has given notice to this effect to all taxlcab com panies and has asked them to file ob jections to the system, if they have any. Mr. Dleck plans to have the city print all the zone cards, so that they will be uniform, and to issue them to the applicants. JITNEYS TO GET REFUND Each Who Paid License Fee to Jan uary 1 May Get $2.92 Back. A refund of the part of the Jitney license fees paid from November 15 to January 1 and 'which were terminated November IE, when the Jitneys were put out of business, is to be made com mencing today. Each Jitney driver who paid the license to January 1 will re ceive a refund of $2.92 upon presen tation of his license certificate to the City Auditor. There are about 300 of the Jitney owners entitled to this refund The warrants have all been made out. Style Tips From Portland Stores ALTHOUGH it seems only the begin ning of Winter and several months remain, during which nothing but garments may be worn, cards already are out announcing January sales and "slaughtered prices." Prominent among the reduced clothing are the coats. Really stunning models, fur trimmed, wide-collared and flaring are shown in shop windows at astonishingly small cost. Among the most favored materials are duvetyns, bolivia, Droadcloth and like heavy woolens. There is a re newed interest in gray in suits and coats and tones of gold are also liked. Ruby shades or empire blue are pleas ing with gray. Purple has enjoyed so great popularity that now it is almost spent. Jersey cloth is as popular as ever and will be even more so in a few months. Many of the coats on sale are large luxuriant modelstwith bandings of fur about the collar, cuffs and the bot tom. Many of the coats are belted and some have belts at the sides and front. A number of smart midwinter coats. have pockets attached to the belt and dark linings almost the color of the garment itself. Even the Jersey cloth suits are fur trimmed and almost all of them are belted. Russian design effects and designs in beading and wool embroidery are popular and featured on new belts and pockets. It is predicted that even beaded fringes are to be worn on sports clothes. For waists georgette is still the most popular material and yellow holds good for the color. All shades of yellow and gold are chic in blouses and even ing gowns. OOCCCPOOOOPOOOOOOPPOOPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPOOOOQOO ftlp4H 1 1 1 1 1 i 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 jTi P.?

And these youngsters the whole neighborhood seems to hate them, they bring home no reports from school milder than "disorderly." and they are never up In time fof breakfast. Beloved, why do we suffer this ty ranny? Why don't we ship them all oft to private schools, as the English do? Why don't we have them brought up on the communal plan? Why don't we organize against them? Jackson has no children. He rides Jn an automobile. Look at Mrs. Jones. Her furniture does not need tidies around the legs to hide the scratches. Look at Mr. 'and Mrs. Smith. The po lice never ring their doorbell to find who is pouring water out of a rubber tube from the second-story windows. Well, why doesn't somebody do some thing? Why? I'll tell you why, Mr. Jack son. You've got a car and an idiotic Boston terrier that rides In it. But when you go to church you cannot throw your arm across the back of the seat along a line of small square shoulders. The Jackson name dies with you, but these little fellows will carry my name down into generations of the country's future. I am no better man than you, Jackson, but these are my legacy, my active immortality. Mrs. Jones, I am sure you sleep well nights. You don't know what it is to wake in the dark with a start and know that something is wrong. You don't fumble your way hurriedly to a little boy's room and turn on the light, to find that he has been ill, but wouldn't wake mother, and that he is crying into his pillow all alone. No, you never had anybody who needed your bossom or your arms. But do you never wish you had? And you, Mr. and Mrs. Smith. You never had children, and you think it bad enough that the neighbors must have them. Your house Is always still, except for the .parrot and the phono graph. It is so orderly that you could hold a funeral in it without having to give notice. And you never know what it is to have a boy come in to dinner with a bruised eye and a cut lip and a reticent tongue. You never called in the other boys when he wouldn't tell, and found that your first born had faced a lad a head taller than himself and stood for the family honor and the name of Smith, and won. You never had anybody in this world who loved you enough to become a cham pion like that, nor slapped him on the back and healed his hurt that night with ice cream after you put him to bed. You must be lonesome. "I sigh as I think of the lonesome folk In their fortress alone. Where never the children charge with their cheer. Where the bedtime song's unknown: Who sit In their childless realm aloof Nor ever behold at all The Sleepy Eyes and the Golden Dream Come, marching down through the hall." I know plenty of fellows who haven't "hit if off" particularly well in this life who come a long ways to get back homo, just to sit with shaded eyes at night and see through the open door of the next room a little boy. who kneels down and says slowly, at his mother's prompting: "God bless Father. God bless Mother. . . . And make me a good boy tomorrow." You couldn't get up an argument with that man on, "Do Children Pay?" auEsnojrs ami answers. Shall Our Children Think Us. Infallible f To the Editor I have Just had a discus sion with another mother as to whether it Is safe to apologize to our children. I take the ground that we lose our authority if we acknowledge that we are wrong or mis taken. ALMA S. C. But we are wrong and mistaken at times, are we not? And don't the chil dren discover it? Our errors "stick out like the broken ribs of an old um brella." And what kind of authority can be built up on deception and pre tense? That the confession of parental faults causes our children to think less of us is. I am sure, the exact oppo site of the truth. I have been much impressed by what Stephen Paget lias 00660000000000000 z.sm. a said: "Tell your children of their faults, and they will forget what you were saying: tell them of your own. and they will remember the very place where you safd it half a century ago." Gymnastics for the Baby. To the Editor What can I do to exercise my lS-months baby? I have been told that there are simple ways by which I can learn to make his bodily development more even and sound. AMELIA W. The baby's own play furnishes a wise alternation of exercise for both the large and the small muscles. When he Is pushing, climbing, pulling and lift ing he uses the larger muscles, and if you will see that he is unhampered by his clothing he will get pretty nearly enough such exercise of his own accord. By handling his playthings he develops his smaller muscles. Don't have them too small. You may have noticed how he prefers the coal hod and the rolling pin to the tiny blocks. Mary Read sug gests further that, about two hours after feeding and before bathing, in the middle of the morning or after noon, the mother take off all the clothes and lay the child on top of a padded table. Let him He on his back: then work his arms and legs up and! down', and encourage him to pull himself up by his hands to a sitting position. This is great fun for him, and such exer cises will strengthen his back, his arms and his legs. What Good Is the Health Department t To the Editor It seems to me that the health department in our suburb is dic tatorial and meddlesome. Don't you think that such officials often usurp too much authority? HOME RULER. What is the health department for? You can keep your children out of bad company socially by not letting them out of the yard to play with rough boys, by providing nurses or" tutors, and by using the automobile instead of the streetcar. But there is another kind of bad company that comes in through the keyhole after you shut the door. Disease creeps steadily and straight from the worst to the best houses. It flies in on the wings of flies. It is brought in the milk pail. It comes in the loaf of bread. It may come hidden in the cup of cold water. You may find it even In church. It may walk through your back door from the stable behind your house. It may climb the hill from the tenement at its foot. Your "health does not depend wholly on how you live; it depends on how other people live. This Is why the health department of your town is your friend. Its busi ness is to trace down all kinds of anonymous health-Injury. Its duty Is to discover the tracks of disease, whether through the travels of flies and rats or by the channels of milk or water. Its work is to keep up land values and trade values by keeping yours a healthy town, to which it is safe and attractive for strangers to move. Its function is to stand guard over your home and the lives of your children. It has unusual authority and It has the power to use restrictions and force to make any one comply with its regula tions In the Interest of all. You ought to know what its laws are, and to give your hearty moral support Ho their en forcement. This Is the best and broad est life insurance you can carry, and also the cheapest.

TWO COURSES NOW OPEN One Company Has "5,000 Tons of Steel Ordered and Advance in Tariff Will Mean Loss of $150,000 on Deliveries. Application for a temporary injunc tion to prevent transcontinental rail road lines from putting Into effect to day new and higher rates on steel and Iron shipments to Portland and Seattle firms waa denied lata yesterday by Judge Gilbert, of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, and Judges Wolverton and Bean, of the United States District Court, sitting en bane. The new rates are based on an order of the Interstate Commerce Commission. The decision means that the new rates, which make an advance from 56 cents a hundred pounds on iron and steel shipments to 66 cents 100 pounds will be effective today. A temporary Injunction against the new rates was sought by the Skinner & Eddy Corporation, of Seattle, and also by the Northwest Steel Company, the Willamette Iron A Steel Company, the Columbia Shipbuilding Corporation, and the Smith & Watson Iron Works, of Portland. The two actions were combined in the hearing yesterday. Appeal May Be Taken. J. N. Teal, of Portland, who with William C. McCulloch, represented the Portland and Seattle concerns in the hearing, announced last night that the question might be taken up for final hearing here later or the whole matter might be appealed. He said that he and his associate were as yet undecided as to which method would be pursued In the final disposition of the matter. The argument on the application for Injunction occupied practically the en tire day In the Federal Court yester day. Blackburn Esterllne, connected with the Attorney General's office at Washington, D. C. represented the Gov ernment, and James B. Kerr and A C. Spencer represented the Northern Pa cific, the Great Northern, the O.-W. R. & N., the Oregon Short Line and the Union Pacific railways. The application asked that the In junction prohibit the new rates becom ing effective and that the order of the Interstate Commerce Commission per mitting the advance in rates be an nulled. Illegality Is Asserted. Mr. Teal contended that the Increase was unlawful according to a provision of the law which declares that rates once reduced to meet water competition cannot again be advanced except upon a showing that the proposed Increases rest upon other grounds than the elimi nation of water competition. The court held that this particular provision was controlled by other pro visions of the same act and that It could not be considered as having the same construction as though standing alone. The act further provides that the Interstate Commerce Commission shall make such orders as It may deem necessary from time to time with re spect to rates mad. In dealing with this phase of the question Judge Gil bert, speaking for the court, quoted a decision made by the United States In what Is known as the "Sacramento" case, where the same provision of the law waa involved. Interpretation Is Different. The gist of the court's contention was that the whole act should be read to gether and . that, so read, it gave the Commission authority to authorize changes In rates to prevent discrim ination regardless of the existence of changed conditions respecting water made rates. The contention of Blackburn Ester llne. representing the Government, was that the matter should be left to the decision of the Interstate Commerce Commission, which was now consider ing the changes Involved In the con troversy. The question of the new rates Is one of vital Importance to the concerns by which action was brought. All are engaged In shipbuilding operations, re quiring large shipments of Iron and steel. As a consequence the rise In rates, which Is 10 cents a hundred pounds on carload lots and 25 cents a hundred pounds on less than carload lots, will mean a large figure to them. Skinner & Eddy are said to have con tracts for 75,000 tons of steel, which will not be delivered until after to day. As a consequenco the Increased rate will cost that concern $150,000 on that one contract. Sunday School Boys to Meet. CENTRALIA, Wash.. Dec' 9. (Spe cial.)
