GREATWELCOMEDUE
Prominent Chinese on Tour to
Be Entertained.
PLANS TO BE ELABORATE
Chamber of Commerce Names Com
mittee and It May Urge Major
and Governor to Join in Ex- .
tending Greeting to Party.
What doubtless is one of the most
Important groups of travelers ever to
isit Portland is the party of distin
guished Chinese merchants and finan
ciers, -who will be in the city Monday,
June 18. .
In recognition of the position occu
pied by these men in their home coun
try, and not unmindful of the improved
trade relations that may be developed
by their stay here, the Portland Cham
ber of Commerce is preparing to give
them due reception and entertainment.
E. L. Thompson, F. C. Knapp and
H. B. Miller have been apointed mem
bers of a preliminary committee to
suggest plans for a general pro
gramme. It is probable that they will
recommend that a joint commission be
named by the president of the Cham
ber, by Mayor Albee and by Governor
Wlthycombe to arrange the details of
their reception.
Official Welcome Planned.
The intention is to make the enter
tainment official, as well as social. In
accordance with that idea, it is prob
able that Governor Withycombe and
Mayor Albee will Join In the formal
reception.
Leaders of the party have advised
that they are traveling primarily to
learn something of American business
methods and American institutions and
customs, and not for the purpose of
partaking of the social offerings made
by . the .people in the various towns
that they visit. It is probable that
opportunity will be offered them,
therefore, to visit some of the principal
industrial plants In the vicinity of
Portland, the meat-packing plants,
woolen mills, paper mills, lumber lilis
and other plants peculiar to the ter
ritory around Portland.
The party will arrive here early on
the morning of June 28. which is Mon
day. Automobiles will be placed at
their disposal. The individual desires
of the members will be consulted In
arranging their tours of inspection of
the several points of interest In this
vicinity.
Banquet Is Likely.
The formal reception will be deferred
until evening, when it Is probable, too,
that a banquet will b served in their
honor. Their special train is due to
leave at midnight of the name day for
San Francisco, whence they will sail
for China.
The party has - been touring the
United States for the last two months.
It has visited most of the important
rities In all parts of the country. Its
Eastern tour took it as far as Boston.
The visitors have been elaborately en
tertained in New York. Washington
and other important centers. The ob
ject of their visit is. first of all, to
create a more friendly feeling be
tween the business men of the United
States and the business men of China,
and also to repay the compliment of
a similar visit made four years ago
by a party of prominent merchants
of the Pacific Coast.
Many of the members are graduates
of American colleges and some of them
have graduated from the leading' uni
versities of Germany and other Euro
pean countries.
MR. DALY'S PLAN ASSAILED
livening Star Grange Member Views
Meters as Added Burden.
"Is it possible that the voters of
Portland will vote Monday ta put an
other big burden on the taxpayers?"
said Mrs. Hattle L. Vail, a prominent
member of Evening Star Grange and
resident of South Mount Tabor, yes
terday. "If Mr. Daly has his way. own
ers of property in Portland had as
well give their property away. The
meters will be the last straw On the
back of the poor taxpayer. Another
J500.000 for the already overburdened
taxpayers of Portland is what meters
meat for Portland. He says the tax
payers will not be called on to pay
for water meters; then who will pay
for the meters?
"The consumer, he says. Who are
the consumers, pray? The taxpayers,
of course. If the money paid for water
tax is used for meters, who pays the
interest on the bonds and for the ex
tension of mains? I suppose thpt Com
missioner Daly will take care of the
extensions by bond Issues, as nobody
has to pay off the bonds nor the in
terest. I want to say that property
owners have all they can do at pres
ent to pay their taxes, and many can
not do this and their taxes are unpaid
today."
MUSICAL CONTEST HELD
Vera. Kitchen and Albert Creita to
Meet Other Western Entries.
A district contest to select. Oregon

Angeles. June 15, to try their iUck
against other contestants representing
trie Western district, and if successful,
they will next try for the prize in th

- . .
Street-Widening Attacked.
The Mount Tabor Presbyterian
Church seeks to enjoin the City of
Portland from widening East Fifty
fifth street at the Intersection of Bel
mont. Suit was filed yesterday after
noon Ira 'County Clerk Coffey's office.
The church trustees say that they did
not know until nton yesterday that
the street was to be widened, and 'they
filed suit Immediately. They deciar
this would greatly damage the church"
one side of which would then be even
with the curb line. They also say that
. it is not necessary to widen the street
at this point.
REASONS WHY METERS SHOULD BE VOTED DOWN. GIVEN
BY REPRESENTATIVE CITIZENS.
Portland, Oregon, June 5, 1915.
To the Voters of the City of Portland:
The undersigned, on behalf of several thousand citizens who
signc the referendum petitions on the water meter ordinance and
who are opposed to the passage thereof, desire to express our
reasons therefor as follows:
First When the use of meters here was started, our water sup
ply was only 22.S00.000 gallons per day; since that time the new
pipe line has been installed and we now have a capacity of 67,
500,000 gallons per day; therefore, instead of being threatened
with a shortage, we now have a supply of more than twice our
needs. It will be time enough to consider so large an expenditure
of public funds when the necessity arises, which we are far from
at the present time.
Water rates are based "upon the fixed charges, running expenses,
outlay for new construction and necessary repairs of the Water
Bureau. Therefore, the less these items amount to, the lower the
rates to consumers. The contention, then, of those favoring me
ters, that if they are installed out of the revenues of the Water
Bureau, the rates can be reduced, must faiL
There are several districts of the city where the mains are too .
small to give adequate supply to the consumers; meters will not
enlarge the mains; these districts need, and are justly entitled to
rtave the .same sized mains, and fire hydrants with them, that
other portions of the city, similarly situatedy now enjoy.
Therefore, if public funds, either earnings f the Water Bureau
or the result of bond issues, are to be expended, let them be used
for enlargement of mains in the districts that 6orely need them,
not for meters, which are now unnecessary.
It is our firm belief that large users be metered, which
they now are, and that all, residences and small consumers be
placed on a fiat rate, and remain there, until our consumption
somewhere near reaches our supply, which will be in the distant
future. Then it will be time enough to talk about the extrava- '
gant expenditure for meters. That every such flat rate user pay
his bill, the amount of which he will then know, each month by
the 10th thereof, as of yore. Then by avoiding this unnecessary ex
penditure for meters, the water rates to all residences and small
consumers could and should be materially reduced. '
We are unalterably opposed to the unnecessary expenditure of
public money, whether it be raised by general taxation, from a
bond issue or from the revenues of the Water Bureau, and firmly
believing that tti proposed water meter installation at this time
is wholly unwarranted, we urgently request our fellow citizens to
vote 101 . No.
Respectfully submitted.

Why National .Woman Suffrage Lost
in Congress Is Explained.
,
"When the right moment comes,
President Wilson will change his atti
tude in regard to National woman suf
frage," said Mrs. Gilson Gardner, of
Washington, yesterday, in her address
to an informal gathering of women at
the headquarters of the Congressional
Union of National Woman Suffrage,
409 Vi Morrison street.
"The Western people do hot realize
the importance of their support to those
in the East, for it is only by union and
public opinion that we can win," con
tinued Mrs. Gardner.
Some interesting Interviews with
Senators were discussed.
"Since all other measures are sup
ported by highly-paid lobbyists, I see
no reason why ours should not," said
the speaker. She also attributes the
failure of the suffrage bill before Con
gress not to the President and the
Democratic party at large, but to the
Southern Democrats, who, she says, put
their women on pedestals.
