CLUB MEMBERS ADDRESSED
Mayoralty Candidate Gives No Opin
ion on Two-Platoon Measure,
Declaring Verdict of Vot-
ers Will Govern.
In an address before a crowded
meeting of members of the Laurelburst
Club in the i,aureihurst clubhouse,
East Thirty-ninth and Ankeny streets,
last night, George L.' Baker, candidate
for Mayor, declared himself in favor
of giving one day off in four to mem
bers of the Portland Pire Department.
Mr. Baker spoke before the club by
invitation. He explained his views on
giving firemen more time to pass with
their families in response to a question
as to his attitude tvard the two
platoon measure. s
"As the two-platoon measure is on
the ballot by initiative petition, the
people will decide that question," said
Mr. Baker. "Whatever the people
vote, I will enforce, as has always
been my stand.
Day Off In Four Favored.
"If the measure does not pass, I am
in favor of giving all firemen one day
off in four, in place of their present
one-day-off-in-six schedule.
"I have always recognized that men
in the fire department are kept too
closely confined. And since they have
been making their campaign for the
two-platoon system, I have realized
that they have too little time to pass
at their homes and too little opportun
ity for family life.
"Under the present arrangement, they
are able to be home only one day in
six. The remainder of the time they
are on duty at their engine houses, day
and night, for 24 hours out of each 24.
"For that reason I will favor giving
them one day off in four. I had pre
vlously voted to give them one day off
in five which did not carry, and I
have come to the conclusion that, ow
ing to the fact that they are on duty
24 hours a day, they ought to have
more time to enjoy at home like men
of other occupations.
"It is this long spell of duty, with
out being able to spend any time with
their families during their tour of
duty, that has caused their dissatisfac
tion with conditions.
Policemen More Locky.
"Members of the police force now
have one day off in seven, but they
work in eight-hour shifts and have 16
hours off every day. Something should
be done to better the situation for the
firemen." "
Other speakers at the Laurelhurst
meeting included K. K. Kubli and John
M. Mann, candidates for City Commis
sioner, and O. Laurgaard, a' candidate
until recently, when Circuit Judge
Tucker ruled that his residence quali
fications were not sufficient. All are
members, of the club.
There was also a musical programme,
which Included a duet by Miss Many
man and Miss Fischer, song by H. H.
Hudson and G. R. Thomas, a solo by
Stuart McGuire and a solo by Albert
D. Beam.
Speaking at a meeting In the Selling
Hirsch building Tuesday night, E. N.
Wheeler, candidate for Mayor, said in
.part: "I am strongly in favor of im
proving conditions in the South Port
land district, and believe the four
. tenth-mill tax should carry. These peo
ple are just as much entitled to decent,
sanitary conditions and surroundings
for. their homes and children as any
other, and the present unsightly and
insanitary condition of Marquam Gulch
is a reproach to our beautiful home
city.
"If elected Mayor I would certainly
have this changed, if I had to use the
1 health department in doing it. I ' am
also in favor of other small parks in
various parts of the city and' believe
the small expense required to estab
lish them is the best investment Port
land can make. Our future success
and development as a city depends ore
the citizens we are bringing up, and
I believe these park investments, look
ing to the mental, moral and physical
development of our boys and girls will
pay a tremendous dividend."
without responsibility in case of acci
dent. "1 will say further that I do not be
lieve that jitney transportation at a 5
cent fare will ever become a sound
business proposition, as the margin be
tween earnings and cost of operation
is bound to be so small that sooner or
later the operator of the jitney auto
mobile will go out of business or draw
upon his private income to sustain his
operations."
W. M. Killingsworth, George S. Shep
herd and C. L. McKenna spoke in favor
of the anti-commission charter which
proposes a return to the Councilmanic
form of government with the Mayor
having the power of veto, at a meeting
Tuesday night in the auditorium of the
North Portland branch library. .
Mr. McKenna declared that while the
Commissioners are submitting figures
to show economy in every department,
the tax levies keep soaring to such an
extent that in the last three full years
of commission government the tax
levies have been $1,704,487 higher than
for any similar period in the history of
the city.
B. F. Jones, of South Portland, made
a plea for the measure on the city bal
lot providing for the filling of Mar
quam Gulch so it can be used as a
playground for children.
At the conclusion of the meeting, a
motion by G. A. Taylor to indorse the
Killingsworth-Shepherd charter was
carried unanimously.
Betting on the city election is light
as yet. Only a few bets have been re
corded, these being even money on
Baker to defeat Daly. For a time yes
terday one Dave Stein was loudly pro
claiming that he had a pocketful of
greenbacks to bet on Daly. Sidney
Zetosch, a Baker supporter, hunted up
Mr. Stein and proposed a 1200 bet at
even money. Stein agreed and a meet
ing was arranged to put up the money.
That was the end of It, however, for
Stein didn't show up.
Too many emergency ordinances are
passed by the Council, according to
William L. Brewster, candidate for
City Commissioner, who spoke yester
day befote the W. C. T. U. Often, he
said, these measures are hastily pre
pared and receive little consideration
before being passed by the Council.
He promised that If elected Commis
sioner it will be his aim to have
greater care taken In the preparation
of all ordinances, with opportunity for
full discussion of the measures before
they are finally passed.
Mr. Brewster reviewed the develop
ment of park and playground work in
the city, which he launched on a large
scale while he was Commissioner, and
said that if elected he will endeavor to
continue the development of the park
and playground property owned by the
city to its fullest usefulness.

said in part: .1
"It is now and has been for some j
time up to the citizens of Portland and
the state to build their structures upon
the foundaions so securely laid here,
by Eastern capital. The great need
facing our city is for home-owned
ships in order that our commerce and
products may be able to compete In
the markets cf the world with other
sections of the country.
"We are also talking about a public
grain elevator, which is very neces
sary, but when obtained we must still
have ships to carry the grain to other
ports; in other words, we are providing
in many ways the first essential to
transportation, terminal facilities. But
we must have water carriers, and Port
land owners, to insure the success of
our undertakings..
"Some of our friends who are op
posed to the operation of jitneys in the
city are being misled in my position by
the thought that I am an advocate of
Jitneys, as opposed to other established
means. of transportation. I am not ad
vocatlng Jitneys, but simply trying to
apply the principle of the Golden Rul
that all should be given equal privileges
to transact business In our city, based
upon the demands of. the people, con

upon other means of transportation: so

STIPULATION HALTS CASE

Decision in Similar Case.
ASTORIA, Or., May 23. (Special.)
The case of the city of Seaside against
the James Kennedy Construction Com
pany and the Aetna Accident & Liabil
ity Company to recover 17967.58, the
amount paid for constructing the Third-
street sewer system at' Seaside, was
not called for trial in the Circuit Court
this afternoon.
Under an agreement reached by the
attorneys, the case will not be tried
but Its result will conform with the
Supreme Court ruling in the case of the
city of Seaside against C. G. Randies
et al. The two cases are almost iden
tical.
In the latter case the Jury returned
a verdict a few days ago allowing the
plaintiff the amount necessary to place
tne sewers in repair. An appeal from
this verdict has been taken to the Su
preme Court and the result in the two
actions will depend upon the Supreme
tjourt s ruling.
