Daniels, of Hood Plans for Economy Proposed and Object "Declared to Bo Assistance In Promoting: City's Welfare by Interest in Its Affairs. A. I. Barbur, City Auditor of Port land since 1907, has announced his candidacy for a City Commissionership. He is the fourth to enter the race for two vacancies to be filled at the city election June 4. The other three entrants to date are John L. McQuinn, John M. Mann and O. Laurgaard. Mr. Mann and Mr. Laurgaard are both members of the Legislature from Multnomah County. In his statement of candidacy, Mr. Barbur said: To the People of the City of Portland I was born in Polk County, Oregon, June 4, 1SC1; graduated from the National Busi ness College in 187ft ; secured employment on Front street with one of the wholesale grocery firms as office boy in 18S0; starting In this position I received my board. I was employed without loss of time for 25 years. I arose from office boy to bookkeeper, from bookkeeper to credit man. and from credit man to manager of a branch house. I have resided in the city of Portland for 85 years. My family of eight children were all born in the city of Portland. City Service Dates to 1907. The people of the city of Portland have lected me as Auditor of the city five times, being elected the first time In 1007. It has always been my endeavor to appreciate the honor thus bestowed upon me and to transact the business of the city which comes to my department in a manner that will Indicate to them that I am ever mindful of my re sponsibility and the trust with which they have honored me. I am now coming before yon for pro motion, and if in your Judgment I have served the people of the city of Portland in an honest and efficient manner, then I so licit your support for the high position which I seek, that of City Commissioner. I do not believe that candidates for office should make promises, for the individual officer may not be able to carry out those promises made. Therefore I will simply announce some of the things in which I be lieve. I believe that the city should discontinue the improvement of streets and laying of sewers except where the public health, and safety demand. I believe the Auditor of the city of Port land should be the bookkeeper and account ant of the city and that all accounting should be under his supervision and direction. I believe that no public officer should vote to purchase land for public purposes where the price asked exceeds the assessed valuation as shown by the County Assessor's books, plus ilij per cent. Vfte of Vacant Land Proposed i T believe that all vacant proprty in the city of Portland suitable for cultivation should be used for that purpose, and I would use my efforts towards starting a perma nent organization of county, city, school and civic bodies for the purpose of handling this matter. I neMeve that all public officers should concentrate their efforts In the promotion of shipping and manufacturing In our city and state. Along these lines home-manufactured Koods and home labor should be purchased and employed. I believe that the financing of the city of Portland is a very important matter and should be studied carefully so that an Intel ligent, up-to-date financing system could be a dopted. 1 have proposed a plan to the Commissioner of Finance which I presume will be placed upon the ballot at the June election, whereby a plan will be devised In financing which will save the taxpayers 9:250,000. I believe that the city of Portland Is des tined to be one of the great cities of the Pacific Coast and should you choose me which I hope you will) as one of your City Commissioners on June 4, I will do my best to promote the things that must be done to build up a bigger, broader, better, busier city of Psrtland. My motto is "Efficiency, Economy, Courtesy." 4 HELD FOR AUTO THEFT Voutlis Remanded to Juvenile Court Under Bond of $2 50. Four youths. Harry Kelly, Dewey McEllrath.
