"No traffic violations discovered. reported Police Chief Jenkins after an aft ernoon "inspection of the city yesterday, but this time the chief had made his inspection tour as guest of the Oregon. Wash in g ton & Idaho Airplane company, and the 'sky was the limit for speed. Circling over the city in a fast moving plane docs not have the thrills one gPts from peering over the edge of a tall building, the chief de clared, but he admits his pilot did not indulge in tail spins or fancy capers. The real sensation of speed came. however, said Chief Jenkins, wnen the plane darted low down toward the buildings and followed the course of the l.lnnton road, fc.ven the speeders on the pavement seemed to be stand ing still, while the plane flying low over trees and houses seemed to be tearing through the air at a terrific rate. Chief Jenkins was invited to make the trip as a demonstration of the future possibilities of airplanes in city fire and police work, according to Victor Vernon, manager of the Oregon, Washington and Idaho Air plane company, who conducted the trip. TRADE SERVICE INDORSED Chamber of Commerce Favors Com mercial Attache at Shanghai. The managing board of the foreign tradt department of the Chamber of Co lomiucrce has indosed a movement 3r the establishment of a branch of- fo flee of the commercial attache service In Shanghai, China. This action was taken after -the attention of the Chamber of Com merce had been called to the need by firms encased in the China trade. The American chamber of commerce of China at Shanghai has advised that because of the distance between that important commercial port and Pekin, with slow 'mail connections, delay is occasioned in obtaining information from the commercial attache service office at Pekin. The managing board of the foreign trade department expressed the belief that in view of the fact that the Brit ish government maintains the head office of its commercial attache serv ice at Shanghai, it would appear that the interests of American business in China may be greatly benefited by having a branch office of the Ameri can service located there with a com petent man in charge.

STATEMENT IS ISSUED Xo -Names Mentioned, bnt Herbert Gordon Is Believed to Be Object of Charges of Commissioners. A candidate who comes out against the 2-mill tax measure is placing his own political aspirations above the safety and welfare of the city, said the city council in a statement issued yesterday and signed by all the mem bers. The statement was issued as a result of the announcement of a can didate for mayor that the 3-mill tax as voted a year ago to cover increased expenses this year should not be voted again for 1921. The statement mentions no names, but is said to be aimed at Herbert Gordon, who made an anti-3-mill an nouncement several days ago. The council, in its statement, says that a candidate in making such a state ment shows absolute unfamillarity with the city's financial requirements. The statement in full is as follows: "We, the commissioners of the city of Portland, who are charged with the responsibility of maintaining an ade quate service in the various depart ments operates by the city, wish to take exception to a statement issued by a candidate for mayor in which he says the 3-mill special tax which was allowed - by the voters for the present year to enable the city to meet the increases in the cost of all things entering into city service should not be again voted for next year. Protection to City Sought. "Our basis for making this state ment is that of protecting the city against misrepresentation of facts by persons whom many may believe are In a position to know whereof they speak. This candidate in making the statement he docs demonstrates con clusively that he is not familiar with either the facds or the figures. To make the 3-mill tax measure a poli tical issue is wrong, because this issue involves more than personal aspirations. Jt involves the safety and welfare of the city and of its people. , " "The imperative need of the three mill tax for next year has been seen and the measure is indorsed and backed by every newspaper in Port land; hy the Portland Clearing House, representing all the banking institu tions; by business institutions, and by the civic clubs of the city and by every person .who has gone into the subject either deeply or casually. There can be absolutely no doubt of the need of this tax unless Portland is to be placed next year in a perilous position. Tax Maintains Sei-rle. "The three-mill tax represents nearly one-third of all the service the city now has. To eliminate the three mills means to eliminate therefore nearly one-third of all present serv ice. There is absolutely no other way out and no other way can be devised by the council regardless of its per sonnel. The increased cost of city service now is not due to an increase of one-third in the sifte of the depart ments; nor in trie fact to any great increase in size at all. It is due to the natural increase in . the price of everything the city has to buy to use in giving service. Who will say that men will or can work now for,what they did in. 1916? Or who will say that materia" can be purchased now for. the same as in 1916? These are elements beyond the control of the council or the city or any individual, regardless of his business or other ability and any statement to the con trary is absolute misrepresentation. -v "The council has the responsibility of giving Lhe service required by the people. It naturally is our endeavor to hold the tax levy to the lowest possible point because that bespeaks efficiency and good . management on our part. It would bespeak the oppo site for us to sit idly by and allow to go unchallenged the statements of a person or persons that this prob lem is a false alarm. Matters of vital importance to the welfare of the pub lic are too often jeopardized in such a manner. Tax Civic Problem. "The 3-mill tax is a civic problem and not political and we urge the public to consider it in that light. Persons may promise the impossible for promises are easily made, but after the vote is cast the stern facts are still to be faced. The problem that will confront the city council if the 3-mill measure fails will 'be nothing more or less than that of making an arbitrary and unwarranted reduction of nearly one-third in an already inadequate city service. There will be no other way out. promises and statements notwith standing. "GEORGE L. BAKER. Mayor and Commissioner of . Public Safety. "CHARLES A. B1GELOW, Commissioner of Public Affairs. S. C.

WAR COSTLY-FOR STATE Each Person Pays $50. Fljjures Quoted in Debate. The people of Oregon are paying more than J50 per capita for their share in the war with Germany, ac cording to figures quoted yesterday by B. F. Irvine in debate with B. F. Mulkey at the Portland Press club luncheon. Mr. Irvine presented this ig one ot his arguments for trying to do away with war by means of the1 league of nations. Mr. Mulkey, in upholding repub lican contentions, pointed out three flaws in the league and said In his opinion Wilson had refused to make suggested changes because of "his professional pride in the wording of the document." "The declaration of independence was amended until its author, Thomas Jefferson, was red in the face, but it was not -hurt." he said. Mr. Mulkey summed up his objec tions as resting with articles 1, 10 and 13, fixin-g the boundaries of the earth. or as he said, "putting a straight jacket on the world." describing the way in which a nation could with draw from the league and being too difficult to apply to our own prob lems of territorial aggression.

Are you willing to walk down Broadway with a sheep's pelt thrown around you? Sheep's wool is without value in its raw state. It must be converted transformed into something wear able; it must be given style, fit and character. Even after wool is woven into cloth it is not j'et a suit of clothes. It takes thread, lining, silk, buttons, trimming and dozens of other things. And, in addition to that, it takes LABOR human energy. It takes more than that it takes genius and imagination the ability to create, design and assemble. Do you know that sheep's wool is clothing for sheep and NOT for men? Yes, cheap clothes will be cheaper, but who wants cheap clothes? Might as well wear the sheep's pelt and be consistent if you are looking for cheap clothing. Wear Good Clothes If you want clothes with fit, style and character, and get them even below the prices of the 'clearance sale stocks" now being of fered by the high-rent clothiers then there is only one thing for you to do USE MY STAIRWAY AND SAVE DOLLARS SUITS AND OVERCOATS RAINCOATS $20 TO $40 REMEMBER!
