Assistant Secretary of State to Ad
here to Opinion Given by
Attorney-General.
SALEM, Or., Nov. 3. (Special.)
Sam A. Kozer. assistant secretary of
state, will follow the advice of Attorney-General
Brown in the legal
opinion rendered Saturday regarding
the tenure of office of Governor
Olcott.
In the light of this opinion, Mr.
Kozer announced today that he
would proceed to prepare a state;
ment showing the several state of
fices for which candidates are to be
chosen at the next primary election.
Under the law, this statement Is to be
certified to the various county clerks
of the state. In compliance with the
advice of the attorney-general, the
office of governor will be omitted
from the statement, according to Mr.
ivozer.
Mandamus Procedure Open
Under the attorney-general's opin
ion, any citizen and voter may insti
tute a proceeding in mandamus to
compel the secretary of state to in
elude the office of governor on the
statement to be prepared for county
clerks.
Such proceeding may be started
either after the secretary of state
has announced his intention not to
certify to the county clerks the of
fice of governor, or when such cer
tification has been made.
in order that this matter may
reach an early determination at the
hands of the supreme court I will see
that the work of preparing the state
ment for certification to county clerks
is started at once," said Secretary of
State Olcott today.
I am advised by the attorney
general that under the court decisions
as they now stand -I can do but one
thing as secretary of state, and that
to omit the office of governor from
the certification. I hope to see this
matter cleared up as soon as pos
sible, so that if there is a governor
to be elected in 1920 the court de
cision will come down sufficiently
early to clarify the situation for all
concerned.
"I take it that the action" of pre
paring the certification with the of
fice of governor omitted will pave
the way for any citizen and voter to
start preceedings in mandamus
once.
"It is my personal wish that such
action be taken."

Portland the Ideal Home City-
Was it not the great American Roosevelt who declared that
America's future depended on the home and the character of our home
life? How true, for after all society benefits from the family rather
than the individual, and where there are families, there will we find
homes. And reversing the expression, where there are many homes, there
will we find an ideal spot for the raising of families.
And so how natural, that article two of our series of discussions of
contributing factors to a realization of Greater Portland should suggest
itself, "Portland the Ideal Home City.''
Residents of Portland need no convincing we are proud of the
city's homes and its home life, but a brief recital of reasons why will
refresh your mind as to facts, and will be appreciated.
CLIMATE.
What an ideal spot for a city of homes, because of the enjoyable
climate Virginia-like' in its mildness snowfall a rarity, tornadoes,
cyclones and extremes of temperature unknown.
The climate is not only enjoyable it is healthful. And here let
us refer to another of the city's assets which is jointly responsible with
nature's splendid climate for a very low death rate less than nine to
the thousand,
THE WATER SYSTEM.
Portland owns its water system. The chief source of supply is
from Bull Run Lake (Mt. Hood) m the Bull Run Watershed Reserve,
located in the midst of 222 square miles of impenetrable forest and moun
tain wilderness of the Oregon National Forest, operated under the sup
ervision of the United States Forest Service.
Imagine the immensity of the system by which we are supplied
with water, sparklingly pure, through 738 miles of water mains (in city
limits) and 48 miles of conduits with a capacity of 67,000,000 gallons!
The cost of this water system was in excess of $9,000,000.
And so Portland, with its naturally beautiful settings, than which
no other city in the world can boast of greater richness and variety, is for
many logical reasons an ideal home city. The desire is not only to live
m Portland, but to own one's place of abode, to really be a part of this wonderful community. No city in our
country has a larger number of home owners per capita than Portland.
From a sanitary standpoint Portland could hardly be more ideally situated. There is a range of hills on
the west 1000 feet high the streets sloping gradually toward the river, greatly simplifying drainage problems,
and making of Portland one of the cleanest cities.
"The City of Roses" then is great not only because it is the metropolis of the Pacific Northwest, but because
it is an ideal city for the establishment of the home for the rearing of families and a good place for one to enjoy
the glorious sights that nature has provided.
Portland is rich in industry, in every material property of which the average city boasts, but her best asset
is her homes. From Irvington to Westmoreland, from Westover to Portland Heights, east side, west side,
scores, hundreds, yes thousands, of beautiful homes, each one a testimonial of our abiding faith in the future of
Portland.
The building of homes meant the erection of schools, colleges, churches and cathedrals, and made possible
the skyscrapers and the success of our industrial and mercantile institutions.
And so let .us remember, in enthusing about Portland we are richly endowed with so many things of
which to be proud, but of none are we prouder than that which augurs so well for the future PORTLAND
IS THE IDEAL HOME CITY.
