Dan Kellaher, candidate for mayor issued a statement yesterday in which he said he intended to re establish the 5-cent car fare, abolish everything in the machinery of gov ernment except the essentials, obtain courteous and efficient telephone Kervicc and oppose meddling: with the legitimate control of a citizen over his business or property, Mr. Kel laher's statement, in full, follows: I have decided to present myself as a candidate for the office of mayor of 1'ortland. In doing- so I deem it proper to present, in the principal outline, my conception of the needs of the city in the administration of this office and an impersonal crit icism of what seems to me the short comings and omissions of the present reKime. These, to my mind, are serious, and would be, if permanent, intoler able; they are not compensated by the forensic charm of the present in cumbent of the office. The city gov ernment has hitherto consisted, be hind the beaniinn person of the mayor, of the impossible but irresist ibl influence of the local power and traction company and its correlated interests. Fare Contract Cited. This condition manifested itself with sufficient and painful clarity when the contract for a 5-cent fare between the city and its people on the one side and the power company and its foreign interest holders on tho other, was abrogated with the consent of the representatives of the people in the city hall disguised by a thin and transparent show of Jegal resistance. My purpose is, when elected, to hold the company to its contract, the city to its rights,- the public service commission to a verified statement of the positive and real cost of the company's plant and the courts to a constitutional interpretation of the validity of contracts, and this con tract in particular. 1 believe that there is a way to reduce the fare to the legal and contracted sum of 5 cents, and 1 shall seek that way. Enemy of I'nds. 1 declare myself, broadly speaking, the enemy of fads, of over-government, of meddling- with the legiti mate control of the citizen over his business and his property. I stand for retrenchment, defining for myself and for this occasion this well-worn phrase as meaning that I shall abol ish everything in the machinery of tho government except what is neces sary for the observance of the law, the security of property and the con duct of the proper administrative and fiscal activities of the city. On the other hand, 1 shall endeavor to I achieve economy by demanding greater efficiency from the individual servant of the city in whatever capacity and wherever his service seems to grade below that which is demanded in private service of the highest order, there I shall effect a betterment or a change. Next to the power and traction company, the telephone monopoly is the most oppressive in the city. It collects a charge far in excess of the cost - plus reasonable profit on the value of its equipment, which is all it is entitled to. as the use of the streets was a gift to it by the people. I shall make this concern render courteous and efficient service on the lais of compensation outlined above if not prevented by the council or the courts, and if prevented 1 shall name the opposing forces so that the people may act understandings in their own interest thereafter. Induxtry Expansion Aim. The extensinn of our commerce and the increase and development of our industries shall have my best efforts. The city's -business shall be my only - occupation. Large investments have been kept from Portland, both in in dustries and building, in consequence of oppressive, meddlesome and fad-, dish regulations, or the threat of such. 1 hold that business follows the easiest road to success, that all at tempts to strait-Jacket it or to as sume the guardianship over its ac tivities and movements which are not demanded by sound principles of safety and sanitation are detrimental and should be omitted. Our recep tion of new coming investors in com merce and industry and our ordin ances over their business should be a. reason for their coming here, not an obstacle in their way to our midst. in the foregoing, as well as in all other questions where the interest of the city touches the special in terest of private persons, or corpo rate organizations, then also in the securing of the city's rights, in the matter of freights on foreign ship ment, recognition of our harbor and the growing importance of our port, I am bent upon using my best ef forts for the city. Independent of Harden. I shall be independent of all par ties representing special interests, serving as best 1 may 'the public in this high office, leaning on no one. but seeking the support of all and the counsel of all for the common good. For this my door shall be open in the front only and the public's busi ness transacted in a public manner. A statement of this kind must of necessity be brief. For some years I seem to have perceived a growing apathy toward public affairs among my fellow citizens; abuses are con doned and impositions tolerated which in past years would have aroused the citizenship to action. The above named abuses are real, and there are others to which I shall in time ad dress myself. I tender in this my candidacy, my self, with every eftort that I am capable of to rectify these and other abuses. Kor this purpose and in this spirit I ask for your support at the polls.
