WITS
TO SECEDE
Multnomah Delegation Hears
Plea for Annexation.
ONE VOICE IN PROTES
Move to Precipitate LiTely Row a
Session of legislature at
Salem Xeit Month.
Self-styled "secessionists" of north
rn Clackamas county, who seek de
. tachment of approximately one-fourth
of the total area of that county and
. attachment of it to Multnomah county
through a bill to be introduced in the
state legislature at the forthcoming
session, laid their case before the
- Multnomah delegation last night in
the meeting held in" the green room
of the Chamber of Commerce.
One member of the Clackamas
county legislative delegation, William
M. Stone, who opposed any action by
the state legislature which would
sever the slightest portion of tern
tory from the present Clackamas
county, pleaded that "self-determination"
be practiced in the solving of
the internal problems of Clackamas
county which have been a source of
worry to state senators for ten years
or more by presentment of any an
nexation or secession plan to the elec
torate of the county at the next gen
eral election.
Seeemion Territory Outlined.
Harvey G. Starkweather, resident of
the Oak Grove district and Portland
business man, was the principal
spokesman for the proponents of se
cession. He informed the members of
the Multnomah legislative delegation
that the final lines of the proposed
chanee had not yet been decided upon,
but that the tentative plans for the
transfer of property now lying in
Clackamas county to Multnomah
county would include all territory
south of Jennings Lodge, including
' the Clackamas rifle range. Baker s
bridge, Oak Grove, Milwaukie, Esta
cada. Boring and all the territory ad
jacent to such towns.
The transfer of each property to
Multnomah county, he held, would
total approximately one-third of the
area of Clackamas county, and about
one-third of the assessed valuation
of the county, or approximately $10,
000,000. It would, Mr. Starkweather
held, be of benefit to the people of
the district affected, the people of
Multnomah county and of the people
of Clackamas from whom it is
planned to withdraw.
Drift Is Toward Portland.
"The natural drift of our people Is
to Portland," said Mr. Starkweather.
"There are many men in Portland
who would move into the proposed
secessionist district but who will not
move into another county because of
the loss of franchise in Multnomah
county. There are many men and
women living In our district who
have financial interest in Portland
who wish the right of franchise in
your county.
"The proposed plan Is advantageous
to Multnomah county because the
area included in the plan is neces
sary for the development of Portland.
Th area is necessary to provide
homes for Portland business men and
working folk. The plan would prove
a benefit to this county because it
would include the Mount Hood loop
road, which promises to be one of the
ecenic assets of the state in the
county. And rightfully so, because
Multnomah county is paying the large
portion of the costs of building this
road.
Benefit Em to Sooth.
"It would even he a benefit to the
southern section of the county, which
is opposed to any change in the boun
daries because this section of the
county has not taxable property
enough to build c ifficient roadways
between Oregon City and Portland.
If the annexation was made, Oregon
City would have more money to ap
portion to these roadways.
That the Clackamas county divis
ion fight will be one of the interest
lng fights of the coming session of
the state legislature was indicated
by Representative Stone of Clacka
mas county, who promised the Mult
nomah delegation that ample evi
dence would be produced at the prop
er time to prove that the proposed
plan of cutting Clackamas county in
twain was lolly.
"The etate legislature has provid
ed the means whereby matters of
this character can be decided by the
people who are affected," said Mr.
Stone.
Change May Go to Vote.
"This law provides that if 65 per
cent or tne voters in the section
seeking to remove itself into anoth
er county votes in favor of the
change and 35 per cent of the voters
or the present district vote in favor,
the change is affected. Why not
place this matter before tho voters
of the county?
"The proponents of this division of
Clackamas county have meandered
about so that they have included all
the power plants, all the potential
power sites, and all the valuable
timber lands of the county. If they
wish to be fair, why do they not draw
a fairly straight line and not curve
about so that the desirable taxable
property is offered to Multnomah
county and the less desirable land
left to remain in Clackamas county."
not due the state from collections on
the interstate bridge.
"Yes," answered Mr. Holman, "but
that will be cared for, all right."
"Have you expended bridge ollec
tions for the construction of the conn-
ty hospital?" asked Representative
Gordon.
"Well, we took up a contractor's
warrant for about $42,000," answered
Mr. Holman, "because he wanted the
cash.
Sinking Fund Plan Approved.
W. C. North, state representative,
asked Mr. Holman if he did not be
lieve that it would be a good plan
to place surplus bridge funds into a
sinking fund so that at the end of
the life of the present bridge, it
might be reconstructed without the
necessity of another bond issue.
"No. I don't think that would be
a good plan," Mr. Holman averre'd.
"I believe that the money should be
spent in improvements required in
the county. But of course, you
gentlemen must decide that, and
your Judgment in the matter will be
mine." -
Mr. Holman stated that he believed
that the county's interstate bridge
debt to the state, which he said he
believed amounted to about $12,000,
would be paid by January 10.
Veterans Ask Burial Plot.
Members of the various war veteran
organizations Including the American
Legion, Spanish American War vet
erans and the Foreign War veterans.
appeared before the delegation and
urged that state aid be given in the
development of a plot for the burial
of veterans of the world war in
Mount Scott cemetery. J. M. Mc-
Carren and James Walsh, spokesmen,
explained that a five acre tract had
been donated by the cemetery asso
ciation, the city of Portland had
agreed to maintain the plot and Jhat
about $25,000 was necessary for the
development of it. This the state
will be requested to appropriate
through the legislature.
K. K. Kubili, chairman of the
Multnomah delegation, announced
that a special meeting of the dele
gation would be held on Thursday
night, when the proposed port con
solidation bill would be presented for
consideration. The dock and port
commissions, the committee of 15,
appointed by Mayor Baker and the
committee of 12 appointed by Presi
dent, Van Duzer of the chamber of
commerce, have been working for
weeks in the preparation of a bill,
which is expected to meet with the
approval of all interests.

Two Proposals Submitted.
Two proposals were submitted to

sioner Holman, one . authorizins- the
county commission to pay its
employes monthly, semi-monthly or
weekly, instead of monthly as under
me present system and the other em
powering the commission to utilize
surplus funds derived from tolls of
the intersta.te-bridge to road building

The change in payment of county
salaries -was proposed by Commis
sioner Holman to do away with the
practice or warrant shaving, he an
nounced and followed an announce
ment made recently by Commissioner
elect RUdeen that he intended to put
an end, to this practice, which has
long been in vogue in the Multnomah

Mr. Holman explained th'at under
present restrictions the only thing
the commission could d-o with surplus
funds derived from tolls collected in
the interstate bridge was to place
them in banks at 2 per cent interest.

In an effort to define the traffic
laws so plainly that Portland motor
ists will have a better idea of down
town rules, the general tagging of
machines which were parked without
lights continued last night under the
direction of Captain Inskeep or tne
first night relief and with the ap
proval of Chief Jenkins.
That portion of the city ordinance
which requires lights on all parked
machines between one hour after sun
set and one hour before sunrise, was
proved one of the most unpopular
of all' traffic regulations by those
who were tagged.- But no favorites
were played. Police machines were
tagged as well as others.
Business Men Make Protests. v
Following numerous accidents, in
which drivers have collided with dark
cars, police were instructed to keep
on the lookout for such offenders.
Following their instructions to the
letter, numerous machines. were found
in the down-town section, as well as
in residence districts, and tagged.
Protests from business men were
to the effect that if the law were
enforced down town It would cause
them to leave their work, go to where
their cars were parked and turn on
the lighta In this case. Captain Ins
keep said, patrolmen were expected
to use their own judgment and not
to inflict -unnecessary hardship.
Police said that enforcement of the
dark-amr provision is necessary to
prevent accidents. They declared they
realized that it is unfair to ask a
motorist to use up his storage bat
teries while, his car is parked under
brie-ht lights, but there was no ex
ception made of the business section
in the ordinance to provide for un
lighted parking on down-town
streets.
Law Is to Be Enforced. .
"The present meaning of the or
dinance is that no cars shall be
parked after dark in the city of Port
land without lights," said Captain
Inskeep last night. "Drivers come to
the police headquarters every day and
night complaining that they have
struck dark cars and a number of
such accidents have been down-town
occurrences.
If Portland autoiets do not ap
prove of the law as it stands, their
protests should go to tne mayor ana
the city commissioners. It can quick
ly be amended to exclude the business
section. It is our intention to en
force the ordinance as it stands untu
the situation is cleared up and the
law permits the motorist to do what
is obviously the most simple thing
to park without lights where it would
not be dangerous to oo so.

The department of labor was will
ing to stretch a point and admit the
girls, but the state department re
fused to waive passport requirements.
Miss Frintz's case has attracted
particular attention. Lloyd D. Jacot
of San Francisco came to Seattle
soon after the girls landed here and
offered to marry Miss Printz. He
stated that he had met the girl In
Vladivostok while attached to the
American embarkation service there
The girl stated that she had been
engaged to Jacot at Vladivostok and
that she came here to become his
bride. Jacot's mother volunteered to
put up securities valued at more than
$2000 as a guaranty that the girl
wouldi not become a public charge if
she married young Jacot. The labor
department offered to admit the girl,
provided the state department would
waive passport requirements.
No one met Miss Lapina, but she
had several offers of marriage. She
was also offered a home by two dif
ferent Seattle women.
Before returning to San Francisco
after seeing Miss Printz, Jacot is re
ported to have Btated that he would
follow her to. Vladivostok should she
be deported.
