to cvnde th' ir own taxes by injunc

The nme contention was ra ised by
demurrer in the K-d ral t'ourt and over
ruled. The result will lw that whatever
the outcome In the I'nlted Hfitten Circuit
Court, an appeal will be taken to the
lnfted States Supreme Court.
If the cnnora tinns should be success

the decision cannot he Hied until after
t he assessment of this year Is made up.
In that event every property-owner who
pays taxes in Inre amounts can lo ex

The total result is a 'serious complication
In which doubt as to the validity of cor
porations and National hunk taxes is
raised. If the law is const It utional. the
hanks will escape paying many thousands
of dollars in taxes If they want to. If It
is unconstitutional there Is a serious ques

in the act. If followed pending a dec ision

Moneys 11 till trrffll Kxcnipt.
T!ie iiiinn law exempts moneys and
eiedits from luxation. Its enactment was
due largely t" the efforts of J. H. Hast
erday. a number of the Stat.- Tax Com
mission, and had t lie approval and sup
port of the banks tn general throughout
the .-dale. In behalf of it. It was argued
that the exemption of such property would
bib:,- millions of capital into this state ,
ft r purples of in vest men t.
In spite of the fact that the hanks fa
voied and worked for the bill, the Capital
National Hank, of Ol mpia. has com
menced suit to restrain the collection of
more than JfinM in taxes levied against It.
and Is pleading the Uunn act as an ex
cuse for the evasion of taxation.
The .National bank act provides that
hanks shall bp assessed in the same man
lier as other mottled capital. It lias been
held by the court. that hank .stock is a
credit, and it is. therefore, argued that
the exemption of moneys and credits ap
plies to hank stock. Of a total tax of
J.v levied against it. the Capital National
Hank claims that only about JKiO has been
lawfully levied. Apparently the only
means of escape from this contention is
for the Iros--i-i;ting Attorney of Thnrstort
County to contend that the Gunn act Is
unconstitutional.
Suttvssfiil Suit in Lincoln.
In Lincoln County an action was Insti
tuted to compel by writ of mandamus
the County Assessor to include moneys
and credit's nn the tax rolls. The suit
was successful, the Superior Court of
that county holding that the Gunn act
was unconstitutional. T-be assessor has
obeyed the writ and it is claimed that as
a result the persoc.nl property rolls of
Lincoln County, which is one of the minor
counties In point of property valuations,
will show a return of personal property
Kfcatcr than that of King or I-Meree
counties where moneys and credits are not
assessed.
Lincoln County sees as an inevitable
consequence the necessity of paying more
than its share of the taxes for state pur
poses unless other counties assess moneys
and credit. It has appealed to the Tax
Commission and Attorney-General to take
sonic steps to relieve it of this burden.
It is thoroughly against the policy of
lMth Tax Com mission and Attorney--General
to assume that any law is unconsti
tutional until t! Supreme Court has so
declared it; but the unfairness of the
Bit nation to Lincoln County is fully real
ized. t 'or porn t ions Peg hi Suit.
n Seattle and Taconm the bond holders
of the Stone jfr Webster corporations have
hwMitutcd suits in the Superior and fed
eral courts claiming that under the pro
visions of the On u ii law. about $.'lou,otHMX)
In property subject to taxation has es
caped the rolls in this stute and that by
reason thereof the public corporations in
volved in the suits have been unlawfully
burdened with more than their just pro
portion of taxation. It is claimed the
Mate and I'edernl constitutions have been
v ! elated and injunctions are asked res
trMning the collection of the taxes.
The corporations involved in these suits
include the Seattle Lighting Company, the
Seattle Khviric Company, i he Manhattan
Trust Company, t he Puget Sound Power
ComtMhy. the Boston Safe 1 Vposit &
Trust Company and other big corpora
tions and tlnancial concerns.
The suits iu the Super! oi and Federal
courts are identical in character. Tn the
Superior Court of King County the Tax
Commission has appeared as counsel and
litis gained an important point. A motion

referring to the exemption of moneys and

V Samuel Hill, who Is in the East

HISTORY OF Y. W. C. A. OF PORTLAND
Article Read at Laying of Cornerstone of Association's New Building Last Wednesday Marvelous Growth of
Organization in Few Years.
BY MISS HELENA SAXTOJf.
(This article was written for the oc
casion of the laying of the cornerstone of
the Portland V. V. C. A.'s new building
lust Wednesday, and the copy was depos
ited in the cornerstone.)
THE Young Women's Christian As
sociation of Portland. Oregon, was
organized November 14. 11)00. at a
parlor conference in Hotel Portland. Mrs.
C. A. Dolph. president of the North Pa
cific Coast Association, presided, and
was elected temporary chairman of the
new organization.
Of the members appointed on com
mittees at this first meeting at least 17,
after seven and a half years have passed,
are .still active workers or supporters of
the Association, and two have been called
to higher service.
Before the close of NovemDer, a per.
manent organization was effected, with
a board of directors composed of 18 rep
resentative women, who elected as offi
cers the following:
President. Mrs. W. J. Honeyman; first
vice-president. Mrs. 1.. K. Rockwell; sec
ond vice-president. Mrs. James T. Gray;
third vice-president, Mrs. C. W. Law
rence: fourth vice-president, Mrs. I.. I..
McArthur: secretary. Mrs. I.. J. Good
rich: treasurer. Miss Mabel Haseltine.
The Association ow.es much to the as
sistance, during its earliest days, of Miss
Klsle West, one of our National secre
taries, who. out of her experience, aided
its organization and returned after a
short absence to speed two months In
heiping to establish and regulate tile im
portant first steps.
Meanwhile, the Association called Miss
Alma F. Hunt, of Nashua. N. H.. to the
position of general secretary, she serving
from March to December. 1901. - During
this time .the membership increased from
4:;:) charter members to nearly ROD. At
tractive reading, resting, office and
lunch-rooms had been secured, remodeled
and furnished on the fifth floor of the
Macleav building, corner of Fourth and
Washington streets. These were opened
April 1. 1!i1. and soon became the gath
ering place for scores of girls each lay.
many to enjoy the good things offered
in tlie lunch-room at noon, others to Join
the educational classes in the evenings,
or to he present at the Sunday afternoon
service.
In July a seaside cottage was loaned
the Association by M. J. Kinney, at
Gearhart. Oregon, and many young wom
en enjoyed the outiivg thus provided at
moderate cost. The classes, opening in
September, 1901. enrolled 10 pupils. In
December. 1. Miss Hunt resigned as
general secretary, and was succeeded by
Abby McElroy. of Iowa, an Associa
tion worker of large experience.
Fy March. 1903. the Association had
long outgrown its limited quarters in the
Ma.-leav building, the -JT5 or 3n0 young
women overcrowding the small elevator
at the noon hour, and other crying
needs marking it necessary that another
center be found for its work. After am.
rpnt search, the rooms, -o in number.
ever since occupied on the second and
third floors of the building on Oak and
Sixth streets, were found, and arranged
and ' furHJjed to suit the Association
necds" " '"Jirnishings of library, of
fices, pi; tms, hall and clas rooms, as
well Jie collection of Brauri prints
of tlL listers that adorn the walls
of ttuMi floor, are all the generous
gift of Mrs. Helen Ijtdd Corbett. Several
bedrooms were also furnished daintily
by individual women on the board of di
rectors, and several more by the women
of the different churches of the city.
All were ready for occupancy In March,
1903.
In April. 1903. the Association assumed
the responsibility of the Portland School
of Domestic Science by' taking it as one
of its departments, and another busy
workroom was opened at Tenth and Al
der streets, where many young women
gathered to learn the secret of good
cookery and home-making.
During 190.1 and 1904 the work ad
vanced In educational and religions lines,
and in Increase of membership. A cam
paign was conducted among Business
women to raise a building fund, which
resulted In bringing in for this purpose
over J:!500. Before the middle of 1904,
Miss MoKlroy resigned as general secre
tary, to be succeeded in July by Miss
Harriet Vance, of Chicago.
In January. 1905. a tea-room was
opened In Olds, Wortman & King's de
partment store, under management of the
domestic science committee, especially
for the use of shoppers. The early part
of this year also found the board of
directors planning largely for the Expo
sition opportunity. A rustic building
was erected on the grounds, and during
the Fair it was thronged with people,
who came to enjoy the excellent meals
provided and served by a large corps of
Association workers, who also dispensed
other hospitality and made the Y. W.
C. A. headquarters a favorite rallying
place for young and old. This enter
prise netted the Association. nuu. twv
of which was placed in the building fund.
The work at Oak and Sixth streets
continued actively during this busy year,
a great many strangers being entertained
and the usual work among the young
women of the city being carried on.
In August. 1905. Miss Vance resigned
her position of general secretary, and in
a few months was succeeded by Miss
Constance McCorkle. who had been state
secretary of Oregon and Idaho, and later
in charge of the Y. V. C. A. work at
the Fair.
In December. 1905. a cafeteria was
opened on the fifth floor of Olds, Wort
man & King's store, for the use of the
employes of the store, under the manage
ment of the Y. W. C. A., with a tea
room on the second floor. Both of these
lunch-rooms have proved very success
ful. , At the beginning of 1906 a depart
ment of the work that had before
been conducted on only a small scale
was enlarged by the absorbing of the
Exposition Travelers" Aid .Association.
This association had been organized at
the instigation of the Yourftr Women's
Christian Association to meet the need
of the year and was composed of rep
resentatives from the different philan
thropic societies of the city. The
Travelers' Aid Department has grown
to be a large and important part of our
association work, requiring the atten
tion of three busy secretaries. In 1907
employment was found by this depart
ment for more than soo women, 'and
4:100 persons were aided at the depot.
During 190ti the "Sunday at Home"
idea introduced into the religious
meetings of Sunday afternoon resulted
in a much larger attendance of young
women each- week.
In'the.Fall of 1906 the special enter
prise of the association was the joint
campaign with the Young Men's Chris
tian Asociatlon to raise $300,001 for
the purpose of erecting two fine build
ings adapted to the needs of the two
organizations. That the u6mpaign
proved successful we attest Jtoday by
gathering around this cornerstone on
which we build brighthopiJs for the
future. ..
Tn the Summer of 19'mthe associa
tion, under the leadershlpf its Trav
elers' Aid " committee; "served refresh
ments and souvenirs to the guests of
the Rose Festival in the Forestry
Building, the proceeds of the effort be
ing devoted to the expense of the
Travelers' .Aid work. This department
was thus enabled- to close the year
witiiout deficit. .
The association has become so well
organized that it now employs the en
tire time of a general secretary, a re
ligious work secretary, a membership
secretary, a business secretary, a do
mestic arts director, a nousehold and
two lunch room managers, and part of
the time two office assistants and a
librarian, besides the three secretaries
of the travelers' aid and employment
departments. Hundreds of young
women and girls, have found the asso
ciation a safe and restful home for a
few days or weeks or months during
the fiv years since the household de
partment was opened under the moth
erly care of Mrs. Elizabeth Roberts.
At the time of tne San Francisco
earthquake in the Spring of 1906.
refugees were received and cared for
in large numbers. In such emergencies
it is readily realized how truly such
an institution is needed In any city,
but those in the work directly see this
same need in ordinary times as well.
During 1906 and 1907 the department
of domestic arts developed into an im
portant branch of the work, requiring
the whole time of a trained teacher
for its day night classes.
During toe past year the Sunday
afternoon gatherings have continued
to interest larre companies of young
women, being addressed by leading
pastors of the city and em:nent speak
ers from abroad. These same men
also gave their valuable time in ad
dressing the appreciative listeners in
the Wednesday noon meetings.
In Augustx 1906, our president, Mrs.
W. J. Honeynian. who naa directed
the association through the changes
of six years, resigned her position to
enter the state board as cnalrman.
Mrs. James Failing consented to fill
the office until May.. 1907. wnen Miss
Carrie A. Holbrook was elected as presi
dent. The officers elected by the board of
directors in January, 1908, and now
filling those positions, are as follows:
President. Miss Carrie A. Holbrook;
first vice-president and head of busi
ness department. Mrs. H. C. Campell:
second vice-president and head of
travelers' aid department. Mrs. W. J.
Honeyman; third vice-president and
head of educational department, Mrs.
Helen Uadd Corbett: fourth vice-president
and head of religious department,
Mrs. Allen Ias; treasurer, Mrs. Fran
ces D. Chamberlain; recording secre
tary, Mrs. Jam's Failing; correspond
ing secretary, Dr: Sarah Whiteside.
To the noble women serving on its
board of directors and committees dur
ing the seven and a half years the
association is Indebted, not only for
wise plans and supervision, but for
hard, self-sacrificing work in raising
the necessary funds for its support,
and aiding in the efforts that make our
new- building possible. The Young
Women's Christian Association surely
hns a large place to fill, and when aid
ed by the splendid equipment expect
ed in our new home, much more must
be accomplished for the young women
of Portland and those who find their
way to our city.
April'13. 190S.
p. 3. By motion of Mrs. Honeyman
at a meeting of the Y. W. C. A., Miss
McCorkle was asked to add to this
history a statement which was omitted
by the writer because of her modesty.
Miss Helena Saxton has served as a
secretary In the association since the
beginning of Its operations, seven years
ago ths month. She has been a most
conscientious, faithful and beloved
worker, and to her untiring serviee
has 'been due much of the. strength
of the association.
