"Rat-tat! Rat-tat: B-r-r-r-rrr!

broke Into full melody, drowning the
voice of the Bull Moose orator in his
automobile at Seventh and Washington
.His speech continued, however. His
mouth moved and his hands gesticu
lated, while the advance guard of the
Taft rally marched past his stand and,
amid a blaze of red fire took up its
jnarch throua-h the streets, preliminary
to the assembly at the Bungalow The
ater. Every man in the Taft parade carried
a banner, upon which was the picture
of the Republican candidate for Presi
dent. Thre had originally been two
portraits side by tide, but a narrow
margin at the riffht of the picture,
showed where half of It had been cut
away and mutely reminded those who
viewed the march that Fate had within
the past week laid Its hand upon the
team that represented the hopes of the
Grand Old Party.
The parade passed and the voice of
the orator rose again sonorously audi
ble. Down another street with blaring
band and flaring red fire, went the
supporters of Woodrow Wilson. en
route through the business streets for
the meeting at the Armory. The two
parades crossed one another's train and
at times the tunes of the two bands

sound.
It was noticeable that the popular
air with its "raggy" lilt was absent
from these last campaign parades.

On brooms Have Been Handsomely
Refurnished and Redecorated. '
Members of the Portland lodge of
Elks, as well as visiting brothers who
have not visited the Portland club
rooms in the last few weeks, will
hardly know the place when next they
go there.
The rooms have been completely re
decorated, recarpeted. recurtalned and
in part refurnished. A handsome vel
vet carpet of a deep brown shade and
delicate pattern has been placed on
the floors of the reading rooms. library,
and cardrooms. The walls have been
frescoed in cream color and heavy cur
tains have been hung at the windows.
Mahogany furniture to match that pre

of the worn pieces.
While the trustees of the local lodge
contemplated the improvements nearly
a year ago, the wear and tear of the
National convention of Elks held In

During the convention period the car

public reception room in the building
adjoining the Elks' Temple was worn

great holes were worn through the

of the furniture also suffered as a re

To celebrate the completion of Im

Rev. Mr. Hawkins is a graduate of Transylvania University, of Lex- "

In 1S97. He comes direct to Portland from Greenville, Tex., where he .

SWETLAND GIVES VIEW
MANAGER OF PERKINS TALKS
OX TAX MEASURES.
Hotel Man Says He Is Unable to Sec
How Single Tax Would Be Any
' tiling but Boomerang.
Lot Q. Swetland. manager of the Per
kins Hotel, who has had a number of
years of experience in official life, in
connection with the affairs of Multno
mah County, and who is the owner of
large Improved property interests in
Portland, views the municipal election
of yesterday and that to come Tuesday
with considerable seriousness. The pro
posed taxation measures are the ones
that specially interest him.
"While I am in favor of public bet
terments." said Mr. Swetland, "at the
leave a favorite stand than three or
four others would make a dash for
the position. A momentary confusion,
and then the fortunate speaker would
begin his harangue, while the others
would lie in wait for the next chance
same time I believe that the increase
in taxation, as proposed, is far in ex
cess of the present earning capacity of
the property of the county. Whereas
in 1912 the assessed valuations are In
creased 225 per cent and the levy In
creased 65 per cent over those 01 1906,
the earning power of the property has
not increased in proportion. I under
stand that with the increased popula
tion of the city and county additional
expense Is necessary, but I do not un
derstand why the percentage of In
crease should be so great. The earnings
from my personal holdings in build
ings during that period have not in
creased and for this reason I think
that the taxation should not be in
creased at this time, at least not to
any material extent.
"As to the single tax proposition, I
cannot figure out how it would result
in anything but a boomerang against
the workingman who owns his own
little home or the man who pays his
monthly rental for his tenement, or
apartment. If the tax rates were en
tirely on the land the owner would
have to get a reasonable percentage of
earnings from his investment, over and
above the tax charges. There are many
property owners today who aro netting
but a small interest on their invest
ments and I believe that if a majority
of. the opponents of single tax were
not In fear of dire results from its in
auguration and could be reasonably
assured that their Investments would
give them fair returns, they would not
be so antagonistic to the measure.
"I am fully aware of the present in
equality of the assessment, owing to
the difficulty of making an effective
levy on personal property, but I be
lieve it a wiser policy for the rank and
file to leave the matter to the Judgment
of the State Tax Commission, and it
will evolve a saner system of taxa
tion." . .
MORSDN GETS HEARING
DESCHUTES LAXD PROJECT BE
FORE FEIERAIi BOARD. '
Investigation Before Special Agent
Dixon Will Open in Portland
on Monday.
Federal investigation of the applica
tion of the Deschutes Land Company
for water rights in Crook and Klamath
counties, which application was held up
more than a year ago by Governor
West, will be started in Portland to
morrow by Special Agent Dixon, of the
Government Reclamation Service. J. E.
Morson. president of the company, and
other officers are in the city. It Is
probable, too, that the Governor will
be called to tell, Mr. Dixon what he
knows of the project.
Mr. Morson and his" associates have
31,000 acres in Central, Oregon which
they propose to open for settlement un
der the provisions of the Carey act.
They have applied for 93.000-acre feet
of water from Crescent Lake. The
water Is to be conducted for 12' miles
through the nautral outlet of that lake:
thence through a canal 22 miles long
to the tract that it is proposed to irri
gate. Tn miles of the canal has been
built. Work on , the other portion
ceased last May.
Further activity on the entire proj
ect was suspended on advice from Gov
ernor West to reclamation officials
that proceedings in connection with the
enterprise were irregular.

street. -
Across Washington street at the same
crossing a single-taxe'r held forth for
an hour or more, until he was sup
planted by Mrs. Albert Ehrgott. who
spoke for woman suffrage; Earlier in
the evening Mrs. Ehrgott's car was sta
tioned on Park and Washington, where
It captured, at the exits of the theater,
the largest crowd that any speaker
on the streets last night could boast.
Another suffrage car pre-empeted the
northeast corner at Sixth and Wash
ington, ;. and held . it throughout the
greater part - of the evening. Miss
Emma Wold, of the College Equal Suf
frage League, spoke first, and was fol
lowed by Judges Gatens and Morrow.
While Miss Wold was speaking, B.
Lee Paget, abandoning the opposite
corner to an opponent of single tax,

branches of the Salvation Army and a

efforts reduced the campaign addresses

GRANGE BILLS FAVORED
E4STERX . OREGOX FARMERS
EAGER FOR GOOD ROADS.
Proposal to Issue Bonds at Rate of
$1,000,000 Year Xot Favored,
Declares Umatilla Man.
Taxpayers are counting the cost in
considering the road bills offered for
approval or rejection, according to
Edward Smith, who farms in Umatilla
County. Mr. Smith was in Portland
yesterday. Among farmers, especially,
the good roads problem is the one
really important issue, as the election
draws near, says Mr. Smith.
"The matter of issuing -bonds in the
sum of $1,000,000 a year for SO years,
as proposed by the Pacific Highway
people, does not strike taxpayers in
Eastern Oregoq as being the proper
thing at this time. The expense in
Interest will be heavy and, by the time
the roads are built, under the plan the
expense of repairs and maintenance
will be added to the high rate of taxa
tion. The next generation will have
burdens enough to bear, apparently,
without forcing a road policy upon it
that may prove entirely inadequate as
the decades pass. Thirty years is too
long a time for any fixed policy in road
building to be fastened upon the peo
ple. .
On the other hand the people of
Eastern Oregon see the need of better
roads. As a matter of fact good roads
have heen built in many places through
the co-operative effort of the farmers
themselves, the county, and the town
to which trade is drawn. Some of the
big farmers have tried out the economy
of good roads and are enthusiastic over
the results obtained in lessened opera
tion of wheat land.
"The one drawback which every one
feels Is the lack of uniformity. Where
the work is done haphazard it becomes
like a crazy quilt. Farmers realize this
and there is a feeling, that general
supervision should be employed, either
by the state or at least by the county.
In this matter the Grange bills, 324 and
226. cover the needs. The Grange
method of road work provides for uni
formity in construction and for raising
money by the issuance of bonds by
counties. The method proposed, of Is-
