18 THE SUNDAY OKEGOXIAX, PORTLAND, OCTOBER 4, 1914. PEOPLE'S LAW SAFE MH WYCOMBE Republican Candidate An nounces Self Opposed to . Emergency Clauses. REPLY IS SENT TO GRANGE Word Received From Many Sections of State Predict Clean Sweep lor Sooth and Gubernatorial . - Xomlnee Women Active. Dr. James Withy-combe, Republican primary nominee for Govenor, yester day reiterated his stand on the sub ject of laws enacted by the people. In response to a. letter ' of inquiry irom tne executive committee 01 me Oregon Stata Grange, Dr. Withycombe made it clear that as Chief Executive -he will be in warm sympathy with laws passed by the voters and that he will frown upon use of the emergency clause except in extreme cases, where it is in harmony with the meaning of the constitution. " Dr. Withycombe's letter of reply to the executive committee follows: Kxecutlve Committee Oregon State Grange Gentlemen: I take pleasure in answering fully and frankly your inquiry of September 2S, 1914. relating to use of an emergency clause attached to "8. 'measure enacted by the Legislature and presented to the Governor for signature. It is my earnest belief, and will be my policy if I am elected Governor, that the spirit and letter of the constitution should be followed faithfully and fully and that the emergency clause should not be used "except as to laws necessary for the im mediate preservation of .the -public peace, health or safety." It is my firm belief that the chief execu tive should be in warm sympathy with law enacted by the people and that it is the unalterable duty of the chief executive to disapprove- of the "emergency clause" when the actual emergency existing does not meas ure up . to the meaning of the constitution in the ' fullest degree. I, assuredly, will disapprove use of the "emergency clause" as a means of evading the operations of the Initiative and referendum provisions. Furthermore, I will disapprove of any ac tion aimed or designed against any taw enacted by the people. Faithfully yours, JAMES WITHYCOMBE. K. H. Woodward, editor and pub lisher of the Newberg Graphic, who called at the Republican county head quarters yesterday, said that Mr. Withycombe nd Mr. Booth will carry Yamhill County by a large majority. Mr. Woodward is an enthusiastic Booth supporter. . He has caused to be print ed An the columns of his paper Mr. Booth's picture, underneath which is inserted the words: "R. A. Booth. This is not a paid advertisement. It is a convenient way of expressing: the choice of the Graphic for United States Senator." Republican women, who are to act as judges and clerks at the coming elec tion, will open headquarters in room 301 of the Selling building tomorrow and the secretary will be in constant attendance for the remainder of the campaign to give information to Re publican women. " ... . These women have organized to im press upon Republican women their duty as voters and to show why the Republican ticket should be '"supported in its entirety, particularly with re gard to United States Senator and Representative In Congress. The members of the association also hope to interchange ideas calculated to improve election service, discuss the methods of handling election work, en courage women generally to take an interest in tho details of election pro cedure and to agree upon a concerted system of co-operating with the news papers to give the public early, infor mation as to results. At-the meeting of the Oregon Civic 4 .League yesterday A. M. Churchill in troduced the following resolution, which will come up for formal consid eration at the meeting next Saturday: Resolved. That the Oregon Civic League places Itself on record as most unquallfledly orposed to recall of public officials unless for corruption cr malfeasance or gross in competency in office. We believe that any such movement based on lesser charges should be overwhelmingly rebuked at the tolls: that mere differences of opinion on Individual policies, unless these te of so great moment as absolutely to threaten the, vital interest of -a community, should- never vsubiect that community to the expense and disturbance of u recall election, much "less the grudges of disgruntled office-seekers, or other disappointed applicants for public favor. Dr. V. If. Dammasch, Republican nom inee for Coroner, declared yesterday that he has completed arrangements for establishing a public morgue Imme- niaie v upon taKtnsr ortire. Huriv tablishment of a morgue is one of the principal planks in Dr. Dammasch's platform. A. F. Flegel, Democratic nominee for Congress, has appointed his son, Auston Klegel. his campaign manager. Head Quarters are established in the Abing ton building convenient to the Flegel law offices. While Mr. Flegel. Sr., is busy meeting the voters in his district the son conducts a correspondence cam palgn from the headquarters. j Miss Ruth Gilbert has been appointed clerk in the Republican county head quarters in the Morgan building-, and will have charge of registrations. Through co-operation of the county committee she is obtaining a list of all unregistered Republican voters, whose duties prevent them from going to the Courthouse to register, and will solicit the use of automobiles for the purpose of taking them to registration headquarters. W. C. Greaves, -of Quincy. Columbia County, called at Republican county . headquarters yesterday and reported that .the Columbia River county will vote the Republican ticket straight. Mr. Booth and Mr. Withycombe. he said, are particularly strong along the river. Mrs. E. E. Gilbert, committeeman in Precinct No. ISO. reported to E. L. Amldon, secretary of the Republican County committee, yesterday, -that Re publican women in her precinct are united in their support of the ticket. The Republican county organization is encouraged by the interest manifested by the women voters. Voluntary offers from women to assist in the campaign are received dally. George J. Cameron. Republican coun ty chairman, is "in bad" with some of his women friends. - The other day someone gave him a campaign card of William "Tlanley. Progressive nominee for United States Senator. Mr. Cameron carlessly slipped it into his coat pocket. Then he went into Republican headquarters and picked up a stack of cards announcing It. A. Booth, Mauley's Republican op ponent. Going down street he met a woman whom he knew and gave her the whole pack. "'Here, pass these out among your friends." he suggested. The woman w-as on her way ' to a card party or sewing circle or some thing of the kind and when' she got there she started passing out Booth cards. But somehow this Hanley ad-1 vertisement had got mixed np with the others and she passed it out to a Re publican woman. Of course, that cre ated a racket right '- away and Mr. Cameron has not yet been able to ex plain. , Neighbors of A. K. Flegel,' Demo cratic candidate for Congress, have or ganized to support his candidacy. . A neettng was' held a few', days ago at the home, of Thomas G. Greene at 337 Jessup avenue. A large- group of women attended. The principal address was delivered by R. W.. Montague, a close friend of Mr. Flegel, who urged his election, declaring that if he goes to Congress he will be able to support President Wilson in his present party programme. ' The Woman's Liberal League will hold a mass meeting in the Assembly hall of tho Public Library at 8 o'clock tomorrow evening. Mrs. Abigail Scott Duniway and other women will speak. The organization is opposed to prohi bition. J. D. Woodman, of Amity, - was in Portland yesterday on his way home from a trip through Umatilla County and other parts of Eastern Oregon. The outook for Republican success is bright,"- he said. "Air. Booth will carry Umatilla County by a large ma jority. The Republicans all are pulling together. They have, at last, got wiae to the 'non-partisan' joke. "Governor West by his campaign of slander and abuse is making votes for the Republican ticket. He is trying to make the public believe thai, he and his friends are the only honest men." ......... i ... . a. , U LID I II in al x ucBuajr evening, when Ole Hanson, Progressive candidate for United States Senator in the State of Washington, will deliver an address.

The resolution approves the action of citizens of La Grande, who gathered at Mr. Cleaver's home in that city recently, encouraging him in his candidacy and pledging their support to mm and to the- Oregon dry amend ment. Attention is called to the fact that Mr. Cleaver is- the only' "dry" candi date running for Congress in the Sec ond District and; for that reason Pro hibition supporters are urged to vote for him so that he can help vote the United States dry-. . Members of the College Equal Suf frage League will give a reception at the Public Library at 3 o'clock: Tuesday afternoon to Mrs. Jessie Hardy Stubbs, of Chicago, and Miss Virginia Arnold, of Washington, D. .

Since yesterday afternoon a steady downpour of rain has prevailed over the Hood River Valley and the apple harvest Is at a standstill. The skies are thickly overclouded and it seems that the rain has set in for a siege. Pioneers are. recalling the year 1881, when just such a rain began on the first lay of Octover and continued steadily throughout the month.- High-grade Upright IManos can now be purchased for less than the ordinary commercial, cheap piano would sell for at any other time.

HEAVY PRUNE IS EXPECTED Many Special Appropriations Likely ' to Be Lopped i'ire and . Police Bureaus Show Heaviest Addi tionsSome Demands Lower. When the city budget committee commences its work of fixing appro priations for next year it will face a budget of proposed expenditures ag gregating. $3,328,207.75. Budgets of proposed expenditures were sent yes terday to the members of the City Commission by the heads of bureaus and by them passed on to the budget committee. In the estimates as sent in by the heads of bureaus provision is made for a long list of large special appropria tions. These have been referred to the budget committee, with the expectation that most of them, will be trimmed out so as to cut city expenses for 1816 toa minimum. Should all the items asked for by the various bureaus be granted the city would have a tax levy next year- of approximately- 10 mills as compared with 7.7 mills for the preset year. All members of the Commission and members pf the budget committee are pledged to strict economy for next year so the indications are that there will be some extensive pruning. It has been decided by the Commission that the tax levy will be cut to at least 7 mills, which will mean the cutting of ex penses ' for next year about $300,000 below what they were for this year. V Fire) Demand. Heavy. The police department in its budget asks for a number of special appro priations. Among them Is $100,000 for the establishment of three sub-police stations, an appropriation to pay the salaries of 60 additional policemen and $25,000 for the completion of the first unit of the proposed new detention home for women. The fire department asks the big gest increase of all. Request is made for an appropriation of $40,000 for a new building to take the place of the headquarters station on Fourth street, near Morrison street. The building is In a' dilapidated condition at present. Other special appropriations asked for by. the fire department are $12,000 for new station at Front and Gibbs streets; $12,000 for a new building in.Sellwood; $12,000 for a new station at Twenty second and Reed streets; $25,000 for two new steam engine tractors. In the health -department provision is made for a number of increases in salary in accordance with the city's ereiciency system and for the improve ment of the city laboratories. Some Bureaus Cut Demand. . Appropriations amounting, to about the same as last year are asked by the bureaus under Commissioner Bige low. In tbe department of public af fairs under Commissioner Brewster in creases are proposed for some bureaus and decreases in others. Provision is made for an additional deputy in the office of sealer of weights and measures and for the purchase of an automobile in this bureau. The City Hall carpen ter is cut out in' the proposed budget, which brings about a- decrease in op. propriations asked for by the City Hajl oureau. in tne tegai Dureair(jity At torney LaRoche proposes to increase the salaries of his two chief deputies, Tomlinson and Laturette, from $2400 to $270 a year; three other deputies, Myers, Davie and Stadter to $175 a month, and Chief Clerk McElroy from $100 to $110 a month. In the park bureau increased appro priations are asked. This, Commis sioner Brewster says, is because there will be no park and boulevard fund to draw on hereafter and the construe tion work will have to be paid for from the tax levy. Permanent Park Work Proposed. -An effort will be made to put certain parts of the parks on a finished basis, out of the money asked, so that there will be only the item of maintenance to be considered in the future. .Following is a list of the amounts to be used for permanent improvements, sonic of which appear under the con struction and extension account, but a large part of which, appear in items to be covered by personal service and material: Columbia Park. $500 in" addition lighting and paving will be done this Fall out of, balance in park and boule vard fund: Forestry building, $o00 Gammane Square, $2000; Hillside Tark way. $3500; Holladay Park. $3500; Ken ilworth Park, $2500; Laurelhurst Park, $15,000: Lents Park. $2100; Lincoln Park '$500; Mount Tabor Park, $2500 improvements this Fall will be made As Stated in Previous Advertisements The-' Manufacturers' Representa- tive3 Are Here Now in Charge of the Great Sale at Eilers. W"hen a cut in price of legitimate merchandise is made you certainly should know the reason w-hy. It is a known fact that the larger factories in all lines have accumu lated a large surplus on account of the disturbance in Europe, and prac tically no export trade can be sc oured. We have a large stock of pianos which are being sold under special agreement. The factory rep resentatives. Messrs. Ellsworth, Barnes and Davey, are now here in charge of the sale. They do not care for profit; their purpose is to have these pianos Immediately out of the way, our agreement bi ig that for every two pianos they sell we agree to buy three more. Our store Is now full of brand-new Instruments, noth ing shop-worn, nothing second-hand, all regular high-quality stock, near ly all to be sold at manufacturer's cost, some even for less. Elegant new warranted pianos only $118: many for $98; finest $550 and $600 pianos only $333 and-$315 for the plainer styles. TERMS OF PAYMENT can be ar ranged to suit any customer. Some only $1.00 per week, others $5.00 per month, and some at $6.00 or $3.00 per month. Latest and best, metal tube player pianos and free music roll service included at correspond ing reductions. Payments of only $10 a month, some as low as $2 per week. MhsIc certainly makes home what it should be. There is no home now in Portland or vicinity that cannot have a choice piano. These instru ments now go for less than a cheap piano would cost at any other time. The most expensive pianos, most ex pensive player pianos and baby grand pianos are now being sold for even less than the ordinary upright piano would cost at any other tfene. This great sale has only-been run ning a very few weeks, but we be-" lieve we are safe in saying that any one week's - total business amounts to more than the ordinary month's business and a great deal more than some dealers sell In two or three months. The unequaled prices and the never-heard-of terms are now within the reach of every planoless home. Read carefully page 19, this sec tion. out of park and, boulevard fund; Pen- nsula .

In the department of public works, under Commissioner Dieck. a decrease of about 7 per cent Is asked in appro priations for 1915 as compared with ex penditures for this year. Of the usual budget items relating to . general ex pense of the department, the appropria tions asked for next year aggregate $457,750 as compared with $492,545 for thia year. Of special items put in the budget, with the idea that they can be cut out if tne budget committee desires, are items aggregating $37,500. - This in eludes $15,000 for weed-cutting, $8500 for regrade work at the O.-W. R. & N. Company's crossing on Sandy boulevard. $3000 for the purchase of property for storage yard on the East bide and $10,000 for - sewer surveys in ' the Peninsula district and $1000 for emer gency repairs on the Tanner creek sewer main. A decrease of about $10,000 is shown In the office of City Auditor Barbur. He proposes to "drop four employes and to grant only three salary increases. the three to be to men now working for $80 a month. In the department of public utilities. under Commissioner Daly, cuts are pro posed. This applies to the street- cleaning bureau and the garbage in cinerator. Comparlsona Made With 1914.

An old saying: "The proof of the pudding is the eating thereof." It would seem to any practical mind that the EWBANK MOTOR CAR No. 333 having EATEN UP SOME lOjOOO miles of steel rails, under the most continued hard service, and made good in every particu lar, should be placed in a class of its own and marked "A GRAND SUCCESS." All the TESTIMONY furnished bv PRACTICAL. RAILROAD MEN puts it in this class. One prominent railroad man says: "Under CONTINUED HARD SERVICE it is VERY EFFICIENT, ECONOMICAL from cost of opera tion, DEPENDABLE and, in my opinion, will prove to be- a most satisfactory means of CAR and TRAIN operation." Now take this simple system of electric control, where railroads will only need their rails and roadbed", with the EWBANK SELF-CONTAINED ELECTRIC SYSTEM of control, in the shape of a powerful ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVE, with MOTORS under each coach, ,as is used today in the trolley systems the 'multiple-unit system then compare it to the third-rail system, the overhead trolley system,' or the underground conduit systems, which necessitate the installation of great power plants to generate the electric current, with, its endless ramification of -apparatus of all kinds to get out of order and the enormous upkeep thereof. Stop and think of the great danger in the third-rail svstem and even in the overhead trollev, for many have been killed by. both. The EWBANK SELF-CONTAINED ELECTRIC CONTROL SYSTEM is free from all these defects. ' , This control-of electricity is not "a going to be," but it has been proved out to railroad men and IT 13 DOING ALL CLAIMED FOR IT. Since our advertising campaign started we are receiving ' letters and even ' telegrams ' from leading railroads and others asking for PROMPT advice regarding this LITTLE GIANT EWBANK MOTOR CAR No.' 333. . . ... .
