This l an ordinance to p;:nih minors for misrepresentation as to their ape for t:ie purpose of ohtnmirfr spirituous, vir-o:-s or malt liquors, and applies to all xr. inors over 16 years cf ape. It is made the dnty of the prosecutive officer to ascertain if the minor has mts represented his ape to the saloon -keer. and if so, such fact may he taken as a miti cation of the offense. It seems to me that if this ordinance hecomo a law that it will operate to pro tect the saloonkeeper in selling nlciholic liquors to minors, for the reason that saloonkeepers of the type who sell such liiinors to minors will set up the plea of snch mlsnprt-sentaticn on the part of minors, and it will result in much con fusion. If the law were amended so that the minor would he compelled to sign his or her name to a statement that he or she was over the njre required hy law. it would, perhaps, be a protective measure, hut as it now reads it seems to me to he otherwise, and for this reason I hall veto it.

'c l t:ron the r-'ase of tl:e n-.easure. Mayor Lar.- vetoed the or.1ir.am-e which makes it a mis d.meanor for minors to misstate their ace when attempting to purchase in toxientirp liquors in saloons. It was said at the time that this law was favored and even urced for passage by the eommittee of five of the retail liquor Sealers, as it virtually esernpts proprietors from prosecution, throwing the whole blame onto the minor. This is the reason assigned by Mayor lane for his veto. As to the ordinan.-e carrying an arprorriation for the construction of an ar.h of welcome to be built at S:th and Hoyt streets, and which was to etand during the coming Rose Festi val. Mayor Lane vetoed this measure because he thinks the money should be used to clean the streets. He says In his message to the Council that. In h:s opinion, the city ought Jo use what funds it can spare. If It has any. to get the streets Into clean condition for visitors. Following are the mayor's veto mes sages to the Council: W oold I e Money to Cleaa Streeta. I herewith return ordinance No. 17.69 not anprove.l This is an ordinance which makes an appropriation of out of the general fund of the city for the con struction of an arch at Sivth and Hoyt streets In respect to this appropriation I would say that it seems to me that if the city h:.s any mon.-y to spare at this time aN've that which it needs for its ordi nary operating expenses, it had best ap propriate some of it for cleaning and rt-p.aimg some of its dilapidated streets. Fy doing this a rn.-re favorable impres-si-m of the cite wii! be created upon vis it"rs to this city during the Rose Carni val than by greeting them at their en try with an artisticai'y designed arch of w.-leome. and forcing them afterwards to disgustedly travel over our muddy and run-down streets. Also, it seems to me that with our means of railway passenger communica tion in part curtailed by the closing of one of the gateways in the city, that it would be money more wisely expended if it were appropriated to devise "means to reoivn such gateway and keep it open. At this time. tot. w::!e the city is de stroing only Si or tons of its col-l.-o!ion of garbage with its antiquated crematory and some other SO or S' tons of the lea t.-ns daily pr.duced is being dumped alongside roadways and behind hedges and in convenient gulches and ravine, or nr-cn the city dump, giving it a generally disreputable and sloveniy ap pearance, and until such time as the city makes some determined and reasonable effort to remedy this tmsanitarv and un !ghtly condition. I do not think it is in Oppoaea Trespass on Ktre limits. I herew ith return ordinance Xo. 17.6T1 not approved. This is an ordinance which grants a permit to consiru.-t a wooden structure within the defined fire -.mits of the city, and is special l.-gislation. A protest against this ordinance Kts been filed with me bv the" building In spector of this city, ai d while frorrT per sonal feeling I would be pleased to gmnt the favor to the person who seeks the anme. yet I fe.1 that this citv should by this time be making provisions to fur ther safeguard itself from the risk from fire and not bo passing: acts of special legislation, which operates to inoieie that risk. tbfect to Vacation of Street. I herewith return ordinance K 17 CS not approved. This is an ordinance which vacates a strip of land 35 feet wide bv 157 feet long said land being a strip of "land Iving be tween the south line of block 2. Mount Tatr, cntral Tract, and the north line of Belmont street, and between the southerly extension of the east and we-st boundary lines of said block in the City of Portland, and State of Oregon In respect to -this ordinance. I would respectfully say that unless the city is to receive seme benefit, either direet'y or Indirectly, from the vacation of this iand as. for instance, it might be benefited bv the donation of some plot of ground of the same value, to be used at some time in the future for a plavground for chil dren. I can see no reason whv it should part with it to Increase the holdings of private Individuals. MORGAN AT ITALIAN COURT Visits Queen Helena and Receives Tope's Good AVishe?. i-OME. April 4 J. Fierpont MoTan ano his dat:i:hter. Mrs. Herbert L. Satter lee. were received in private audience to day br Queen Helena, after which they visited the Pope. Her majesty was most gracious to her American visitor? and accepted the presi dency of a committee to give outride re lief in materr.uy cases in which Mrs. Morcan is interested. She presented Mrs. Satter.ee with a beautiful photocraph of the royal children, askir.c her to take it to her own children. The Pope received Mr. Morcan rd Vr 1 SatterK-e in his private library. His de j meaner was very cordial. Mr Mot. i ouested the pontiff to write on a pl-e of paper an expression of his good wishes 1 for himself and his family, and the Pope i complied with the desire of hi 0-1. net Subsequently Mr. Morgan and his daughter called upon Cardinal Merry del Val. the papal secretary of state, ar.d Monsdgnor Ttisletti.

Taxpayer who do not settle with Mult nomah County for their taxes on the cur rent ye:r by tomorrow night wHl find themselves com pellet! to pay a penalty of 1 per cent in addition to the total amount j due. The final date for payment of taxes is Monday and on and after April 7 the penalty of 30 per cent is attached I to all assessments wherein the first half, j at least, has not been presented. 1 A; this time the total amount of un j p.d taxes is S2.5&i.2i. Of this sum, J f..T?6 is represented by a protested per j sonal tax on money loans and accounts. which the O. R. A X. Company has taken j into Court- However, many individuals I have failed thus far to pay their personal j taxes and the individual who owes only ' J today, will be debtor to the county in j tlie sum of $11 after tomorrow. In or der to give taxpayers every possible chance to escape the heavy penalty for nonpayment. Sheriff Stevens and his chief dt-puty in the tax collecting de partment. S. B. Martin, have decided to keep open late Monday night- The doors of the tax office will not be closed until the last of the belated taxpayers has ben accommodated. Collections this year have been unus ually heavy. Mr. Martin s report of the work to date shows that the total col lectiors are JS.-T.OCO.Tfi. The tax roll for l'T is 3:.iy,.V4.25. thus leaving the sum of StSP.x&S to be collected. The collections are heavier by several thousand dollars than at a corresponding time last year. Even with a much smaller rate of tax than in 3it6. the increase of valuation in city property occasioned higher assessments and thus Increased the tax roll. The collections are much heavier than was expected, in view of a somewhat tightened money condition. Judging from past experience. the Sheriff's office expects a heavy rush Mon day of belated taxpayers, Mr. Martiq. drawing his estimate from last-minute payments of previous years, is confi dent that fully will be paid in, or possibly an even greater sum. Of the amount received to date the sum of $1,- 73 . . 414. o4 h as been tu rued over to t he County Treasurer. The sum of additional will be handed over on Monday.

Friends of State Sclrool Are Pleased With Action and' Expect the Votes of Vnions. Friends of the University of Oregon are highly elated over the recent action of the executive board of the State Federation of Labor "wherein that body went on record as favorable to the cause of higher education and pledged its support to the university appropri ation bill that is to be voted upon by the people of the state .at the June election. At its last meeting the execu tive board passed a resolution com mending the bilr to labor union men in all parts of the state and the secretary was instructed to notify the 68 affili ated unions of the board's action. "While the board does not pretend to control the votes of members of the, unions, its recommendation will have great weight and will insure the ap propriation bill of a large number of affirmative votee. "We are In favor of higher educa tion," said C. H. Gram, president of the State Federation of Labor, yester day. "We shall do what we can to secure the passage of the bill. The State University is the school of the common people and it should be prop erly supported. The school, will be paralyzed if the bill is defeated." Friends of the university are pleased over the action of the Federation, for they realize that it means many votes for the pending bill. The fact that the Federated Trades Council at its last meeting listened to an extended argument against the university bill by Eugene Palmer of Albany and then failed to take any action leads the friends of the uni versity to believe that a majority of the local union men are in favor of the bill. Mr. Palmer appeared before the Federated Trades Council last Fri day night, so it l said, and while he was given a respectful hearing, no action was taken either for or against the bill. The fact that nearly all of the com mercial, social and political bodies in the city have indorsed the university leads the friends of the Eugene Insti tution to believe that they will roll up a big majority for the bill in this county. 4 Breaks Ties With Unions. WINNIPEG, Man., April 4. The Can adian Pacific has decided to break with unions which have a membership In the many trades employed In the Canadian Pacific shops. The company has abro gated the agreement entered into last September, giving a month's notice to the unions.

Thousands of men are affected and the officials declare that a strike is probable. The man agoment formerly granted a nine-hour day and S cents on hour increase wages. New Harriman Line In South.
