W hile the social features of the ban
quet by the United East Side Push
Clubs at the Sargent last Tuesday-night
were notable, the important matter of
that affair 4fa.s In bringing before each
section of the East Side measures that
will be voted on at a special election,
probably in November, if it be decided
to hold It in connection with the Presi
dential election.
These questions are the second Bull
Run pipe line, bonds for .providing
funds for erecting new bridges across
the Willamette River, and pavement of
streets by district assessment. All
these measures, and more, were em
phasized by the talks made at this
banquet. The delegates from the 30
civic organizations are taking back to
their several organizations these ques
tions, eo that when the voters are
called on to express their opinion at
the special election, they will be pre
pared to do so intelligently.
Some of the delegates had never
beard Tom Richardson, and since they
heard him, they say, they would not
have missed the speech for several
times the cost of the banquet. He told
the delegates never to speak disparag
ingly of Portland. He complimented
them on the progress the East Side
whs making. He never had a .more
appreciative audience than he had chat
night, nor did he ever make a speech
that was more effective, the delegates
say, nor one that will Impress the push
clubs more seriously.
The remarks of M. G. Griffin oh the
proposed improving of streets hy dis
tricts, met with approval. He said that
at Sellwood, Kennllworth. Brooklyn,
Waverly-Rlclimond. Multnomah, Pied
mont and Montavilla. streets are to be
Improved as a whole, but they cannot
be grouped together as a whole under
the present charter! and one big con
tract let. The measure voted on at
the last election came out like the rest
of the proposals, and will be sub
mitted ngnin, probably with the bridge
and pipe-line measures.'

Killlngsworth avenue, from Union ave

double tracks with heavy steel rails. The
cost of this Improvement will be $73,000.
which Is one of the largest street con
tracts made In the city. It is a remark-
awe improvement, but the nroDertv.
owners decided that they wanted the best
improvement that money could procure.
Killlngsworth avenue, however. Is ran.
idly becoming a business street. A num
ber of attractive business buildings have
been erected here, and others are pro
jected. Completion of this hard-surface
pavement will stimulate this improve
ment.
J. H.. Kolta, a large property-owner on
Killlngsworth avenue, says that property
on this avenue has Increased more than
60 per cent within the past year, and lots
on Killlngsworth avenue that were sell
Ing for $1000 then now bring nearly J1T00
in a district that three years ago was
covered with brush and undergrowth.
If the agitation for a through street from
Killlngsworth avenue to St. John through
the center of the Peninsula Is carried
through, it will provide a much-needed
driveway. At University Park a large
number of homes are being built along
tne nne or the electric line, and this
hlRhway will be an Important Improve
ment for that section. In connection
with this proposed improvement, the
Maegly Improvement Club, with R. G.
Brand, president, has started a move
ment to improve all the streets at the
Junction, get water mains and electric
lights. The outlook for the Peninsula is
considered encouraging. The people there
are making an effort to get a portion,
St least, of the visitors in Portland dur
ing the Rose Festival to take a trip down
the Peninsula to see the opportunities
offered for residences and manufactur
ing. v
W ill Adopt Larger Plans.
For some time the Portland Rallwav.
Light & Power Company has had under
consideration extensive new carbarns to
be erected at Sellwood. The plans for the
buildings have been, revised. Larger
bulldinss are being considered than those
first contemplated. A building 70x4o or
one of 140x200 will be -btrllt. - Another
building, 70x200 may be added. It is also
probable that brick structures will be
erected. Manager F. I.- Fuller has said
that the plans will be adopted soon and
the work of construction started. This
may be within the Sexi 60 days. It is
proposed to spend between $35,000 and
$50,000.

Xew York's System of Street clean
ing Best Found In Any City Vts
- - - lted Advises Against More
Bridges for Portland.
Returned to Portland from a trip to
Eastern cities, Charles K. Henry talks
, encouragingly and hopefully of the fu
ture of this city. For several years Mr.
Henry has . been an advocate of good
streets and .keeping them good, and on
his trip he paid particular attention to
that feature in municipal work as carried
on. in the big" cities on the other side of
the continent. Said he yesterday:
There Is nothing so Impresses a visitor
of the ranch will "be sent out through this
gateway in. the coming: years, and with the
completion of the Panama Canal, of which
there new can bo no doubt, Portland is
bound to be a port of the first importance
in the world.
An Idea struck me on my way home. Sup
pose the Pilgrim Fathers had landed on
the coast of Oregon instead of the bleak
New England shore. Imagine what we
would be today. The energy necessary to
develop that part of the country If only
partly expended here would have brought
results that stagger one to think of.
SALOON RULE IN POLITICS
Predicts Success of Woman Suffrage
and Prohibition Here..
PORTLAND, May 29. (To the Editor.)
The editorial in last Monday's Oregonian
relative to John Manning and the Manor
Interests, is o importance and to the
point.
It was my opinion that the liquor man
ufacturers, dealers and saloon-keepers
would see the effect of their taking an
active part in the selection of District
Attorney. They have controlled this of
fice lor many years, except for the short
time since Mr. Manning . changed front.
At the recent Republican primaries, their
choice for the office was nominated.
During that campaign it was said of
George J. Cameron that he was a for
eigner, with no love or regard for this
country, except for what he can make
out of it for himself, that he thinks the
United States is a place for men like him
to thrive, and to get and hold office.

out with an editorial reading: "So far

WHITMAN PLANS ACCEPTED
LAYOUT FOR NEW COIxLEGE
BUIXOTXGS SUBMITTED.
Work Expected to Start on Some ol
the Buildings in the Com- ,
ing Fall.
Preliminary plans for the new build
ings of Whitman College, Walla Walla,
Wash., have been submitted by Mac
Naughton, Raymond & Lawrence, and
have been accepted.
The plans submitted by the architects
covered a general layout of the
grounds and buildings, landscape and
engineering. The buildings embraced
in the plans of the layout are art mu
seum, library, memorial chapel, engi
neering building, power Tlant and
shops, dormatorlee, students hall, com
bination kitchen and dining halls, for
estry, mining, physics and chemistry
departments, separate conservatory of
music, which includes auditorium and
two dormitory wings.
In the middle of the landscape com
position will be erected a fountain,
probably to be surmounted with stat
uary. Work will start on the power
plant and engineering building in the
Fall, according to present expectations.
PliANS FOR COIjLEGE X. M. O. A.
Modern Structure for Agricultural
Institution to Be Erected.
The building for the T. M. C. A. of
the Oregon Agricultural College at Cor
vallis is to be situated on the college
campus, and is designed to harmonize
with the present college buildings. The
lowest story will be of the red brick
used in the more recent buildings of
the college, while the upper part is to
be finished after the old English half
timbered style. The combination Is a
very happy one, and should produce
a building that will be a decided ad
dition to the campus. The building Is
to cost completed In the neighborhood
of $20,000, the plans and specifications
having been 'prepared in the offices of
MacNaughton, Raymond & Lawrence,
of Portland.
The building will contain on the first
floor a large lounging room and recep
tion room, finished with beamed ceil
ing and quartered-fir wainscoting. A
feature in this room is to be a great
fireplace built In red paving bricks,
rugged! strong and simple. This floor
also contains accommodations for the
college paper editorial rooms, the Ath
letic Association and a meeting-room
for the Young Women's Christian As
sociation. The entire second floor is devoted to
six large society rooms for use of the
debating and literature clubs and fra
ternities of the college, while in the
basement provision has been made for
the banqueting hall, with kitchen ac
commodations. There Is also located
In this part of the building a large
swimming pool, with lockers and
shower rooms adjacent. The building
will be lighted and heated from the
central power plant maintained by the
college.
The building, with its well-planned
conveniences, is bound to serve as the
rallying point of the students. The un
dertaking has been largely financed by
subscriptions raised among students
and the alumni.
to a city as the condition of its streets. If
tbe streets are badly out of repair and are I
dirty, as, for Instance, they are foundi to be j
in Chicago, the Impression of the city Is
most unfavorable. No number of big- build
ing's, busy thoroughfares, fine etores and
handsome, residences can overcome that Im
pression. There, at your feet. U evidence of
care leas municipal government, and it may
be in some Instances of criminal handling of
the city's resources
How different 4a the impression when the
streets ar found to ' be well made and are :
kept oleaij. One of the best, object leason
coming to my attention was found In New
York. 'We used to jead of the Tammany
ridden metropolis and were led to believe
that no city work existed separated from
graft and Incompetency. I have changed my
mind about the way municipal work is
done in New Tork, Miles and miles of
Greets extend from one end of the Island
to the other, and across town, that are of
the. very beet modern construction, and bet
ter, they are kept scrupulously clean.
The street-cleaning department of New
Tork- Is about the. most efficient civic de
partment I know of anywhere. Thousands
of men, dressed In white, are constantly at
work with broom and dirtcan fairly swarm
ing over the city keeping the streets free
from dust and refuse. They are at work
Sundays and holidays as well as on other
days, the gangs being divided Into shifts so
that each gets a day off. The department is
conducted on civil service rules and the class
of men employed is of much higher stand
ard than usually found In other cities.
Another set of city employes that attracted
my attention and admiration te the police
force. The "corner" men stationed elonsr
the principal streets ar perfect giants, and
are attentive to their duties and are courte
ous. The mere raising of a hand or even a
forefinger brings a driver to a halt, and a
few intelligent orders soon straighten out a
Jam on the street. The handling of the.
enormous crowds both on top and under
ground in the subways has been brought to
a great degree of perfect!.
We, here In Portland, are discussing some
method to furnish better facilities for cross
ing our river. . I was much interested at
rtetrolt, where a tunnel la building to con
nect that city with Windsor on the Can
adian side. . An objection has been raised
here against tunneling the. Willamette... It
being urged that the depth of water pre
cludes the construction of a tunnel. At De
troit that difficulty is being solved by the
construction of a "shoulder" or rldgre along
the bottom of the river to form the roof of
a tunnel. In other words, the tunnel does not
pass under the river, but along the bottom.
I have given the subject of putting an
other bridge across the river a great dal
of thought and have come to the conclu
sion that we should not have another one.
We now occupy the second place in the
country as a wheat-shipping port and our
harbor has become of first importance to
our continued advancement as a distrib
uting point. Let us look at the situation
squarely, and If necessary to have addi
tional connections between the two sides of
the . river, put in a tunnel and establish
more ferries. I do not advocate the aban
donment of any of the existing bridg-es; let
them be replaced when necessary; but we
'should not' further place testacies in our
harbor, which will be none too commodious'
In a few years to accommodate vessels en
gaged In the carrying trade between Port
land and other ports of the world.
My visit in Boston and to Cambridge, the
seat of Harvard University., convinces me
that no good reason exists why our young
men should be sent Bast for their educa
tion. I am therefore heartlyl in favor of
the proposed appropriation for the State
University. There was a scandal at Bos
ton in which one of, the professors at Har
vard was involved. The newspapers gave
much space to the matter and printed pic
tures of the negro woman Implicated In the
scandal. I couldn't help feeling that after
all Oregon Is a pretty good state In which
to raise boys and educate them, rather than
send them back where their Instructors get
mixed up in such affairs.
I notice in one of the local papers that
the sale I consummated., just before leaving
on my trip, of the Dr. Jones block was all
cut and dried as to the improvement that
Is to be put In. I am not yet ready to
announce what the purchaser Intends, but
will say this: The Improvement will be
undertaken about the close of this year and
will be of a character that will be a credit
to the city. For certain reasons X am not
at liberty to say more just now.
I found financial matters in the East
gradually improving, though It Is true they
have not yet fully recovered from the ef
fects of the squeeze last Fall. There Is
considerable available capital in the cities
I visited, some of which will seek Invest
ment here. I know of three big buildings
that are to be built with Eastern money
In the next year or two. One is an eight
story structure on Stark street and the
other two are now being; financed.
On my way through Idaho and Wyoming
I took occasion to examine Into what Is
being done in irrigated districts. Lands ly
ing under irrigating canals are rapidly set
tling up with a- desirable class of immi
grants and farmers from the Middle West
of the country, and I realized as never be
fore what this vast work of irrigation means
to our country. With water, lands, thou
sands and thousands of acres, are being
mads productive which before were a bar
ren waste. Grain, cattle and other products
as Cameron Is concerned. It Is enough to
say at this time that the records of the
Municipal Court teem with instances
when criminals have been allowed to go
unwhlpt of justice. Cameron seeks to
shift the blame on the shoulders of the
prosecuting officers, but the excuse is
insufficient. Certain saloon-keepers, ha
bitual violators of the law, have been
haled before him time after time, only
to be dismissed without retrial. The po
lice say that it is impossible to eret eon
viction. In Cameron's Court, and the facts
seem to bear out this charge."
It was said that all ju lings and de
cisions In Municipal Judge Cameron's
Court were made with a view to holding
and getting office. Cameron s experience
taught that with his hold upon, the
Scotch, the church and the whisky crowd
he could keep himself In office. Some
stated that at the primaries tne foreign
ers, the .saloons, the "pimps," rogues,
criminals, gamblers and "saloon bums"
would support him. It was further said
that the saloon element wanted to con
trol this orfice, and that when Mr. Man
ning changed ' front, they made" arrange
ments to get Cameron to take the job
because they could depend upon him.
Some Jealous ones remarked that Came
ron was a Republican only because xt
held out more hopes for getting, office
that if he could not get a nomination he
ran on the Independent ticket, tried to
defeat the Republican nominee and turned
traitor, but not to his principles. Lastly,
it was said that he had no respect-or con
sideration for a citizen who wanted or ex
pected the office he was after. They -cite
that he has one office, holds on to it and
gets a better If he can, and while he has
held office eight or ten years, that he
does not propose to give way to any
American citizen who may aspire to of
fice. I believe all of these statements "and
Insinuations about Mr. Cameron, and
still I will not vote against him. He
is not to blame. He has been encour
aged, assisted and nominated with full
knowledge of his character. In my opin
ion, George J. Cameron can and will se-

of gaining a few votes by sparing a few
criminals or prosecuting a few inno
cents is so common as to make no great
difference. It Is like Oregon politics.
The liquor interests will not stay out
of politics so far as this office of District
Attorney is concerned, and possibly oth
ers, but It is working against them and
the movement will result In the destruc
tion of the saloon. Kansas and other
states have practically confiscated mil

SINGLE TAXER SOPHIST
J. B. Ziegler Replies to Communlca-
,tlon of Fred C. Denton.
PLEASINGTON, Alberta, Canada, May
21. (To the Editor.) A tew days since I
found a letter in an Oregonian from Fred
r- Donton In rebuttal of objections I
made May 3 to the single tax summary
of state assessments. Mr. Denton's
claim that the farmers of Oregon own
less than $75,000,000 out of a total assess
ment of J384.O0O.OOO Is both Incorrect and
absurd, and the method by which he
seeks to support the statement is that fa
vorite of sophist mathematicians, of se
lecting only Buch terms of the problem as
will work out their assumed results. For
instance, Mr. Denton figures In the as
sessments on roadbeds and franchises of
railwa j as land values, and dismisses
with the happy facility of the sophist all
tillable lands In Multnomah County. It
is true that the right of way of railroads,
not on streets should be considered as
land, but I do not recollect that such
item appeared In the state summary. He
passes over the Item of $2,713,676 for tele
graph and telephone lines and poles, and
generously foregoes claiming that also
as lands, forgetting that they occupy the
same right of way which he has already
figured at $35,000,000, which he says is too
small. That is, the right of way of rail
roads in Oregon Is worth half as much as
all the land owned by farmers, which is
sufficiently absurd to render disproof un
necessary. ' :' '
Again, Mr. Denton's claim that th
column of tillable lands only 1b owned by
farmers Is incorrect. In fact and logic,
part of the farm is non-tillable land.
There is pasture and woodland. Neither
does it follow that these are not legiti
mate parts of the farm, as the sophists
will doubtless claim, held for speculation.
The single-taxers are Inviting the peo
ple to overturn a system of taxation
based on the principle of absolute equity.

one which has met with such broad con
sent that there had been no voice raised
against the abolishment even of that
most Judicious exemption of 5300 of per
sonal property; and are seeking to substi
tute for It one definitely In theory, vi
ciously discriminative and, in my judg
ment, so in policy.
Mr. Denton concedes, notwithstanding
the claims as to the beauties of single
tax in New Zealand, Canada and else
where, that the single tax is not in opera
tion in any country in this world. I did
not claim that it had, but said it hd
been continuously experimented with for
more than 100 years, but had never found
a country foolhardy enough to establish
it. As to this province of Alberta, I fai
to find anything to support the single-tax
contention. ' They have a flat tax of so
much per acre both upon homesteads and
patented lands ranging from $22 to $27 per
quarter Bection, varying not at all as to
"land values," hut according to the needs
of the local districts, which is, I think, as
high a tax as that even of Portland.
None of those excellent discriminations
against "land monopoly" are made, but
the chief culprit, the Canadian Pacific
Railroad, pays no tax whatever on Its
immense grant. Edmonton may have ex
empted everything but land, for the place
aspires to be the metropolis of the North
west, and is putting .forth special efforts
to attract an outlay of capital in develop
ment. Manitoba exempts $1500 worth of
other property besides land. This is a
very important dlffprence from the Ore
gon single tax measure, the exemptions
and penalties of which refer onlv to the
class of property and not at all to the
size of the holding, a sad oversight. It
seems, in a measure leveled at monopoly.
The truth is the single-tax amendment
would hurt all land regardless of whether
it is owned by a monopolist or a farmer,
and the. exemptions specified would ben
efit alike the exempted class whether
owned In holdings of $100 or $1,000,000:
Neither Is there anything in the measure
to correct faulty assessments or mitigate
the evil of tax-dodging.
