In voting for Commissioner there are
two offices to be filled, so the voter
may vote first choice for two candi
dates, a second choice for two different
candidates and a third choice for each
of two still different candidates. In
no case may any voter give more than
one choice, either first, second or third,
to any one candidate. If this Is done
only the vote highest in rank Is
counted.

Xn counting the votes the first choice
vote Is counted as the total vote cast.
For Mayor If one candidate receives
majority of first-choice votes he Is
elected. If none gets a majority of
first-choice, second-choice votes are
added to first-choice, and if then no
candidate has a majority, third-choice
are added to the first and second, and
the man with the highest number of
votes wins.
The count Is the same with Commls
sloner except that there are two to
elect and therefore each candidate must
get a majority of one-half ther total
first-choice vote.
In voting for measures it is essential
that all voters vote one way or another.
Failure to vote Is equivalent to voting
"Yes" on the measure, inasmuch as
there must be more "So" votes against
a measure than there are "Yes" votes
or the measure is passed regardless of
the actual number of votes cast. Meat
ures to be passed require only a greater
"Yes vote than a TJo vote. There
fore the necessity of voting "No'
against unfavored measures In order to
' kill them Is Been.

CONTROL OF STREETS ISSUE
City Would Be Deprived of All
Right to Pass Ordinances Re
stricting: Traffic Other Than
That on Car Zdnes. -
"Ko such principle - of government
has ever been adopted In any city," is
the warning issued by the Portland
Railway, Tight Sc. Power Company to
its patrons and voters generally, in
an appeal to vote against, the "Free
Use of Streets'" amendment.
-The company declares that it has
never asked that the operation of Jit
neys In Portland be prohibited, but
that all It does ask is that -the Jit
neys be held subject to regulations
and restrictions comparable with those
exacted from the street car company.
The appeal calls attention to the fact
that Jitneys compete for only the short-
haul business, and that the company
is operating many of its long lines
either without profit or at an actual
loss, and that if the Jitney competi
tion is not mads subject to regulation
the whole street railway system will
be financially Imperiled. ,
The letter calls attention to the fact
that if the proposed amendment is
adopted it will deprive the people and

Dr. Henry Lawrence Southwlck,
president of the Emerson School
of Oratory, of Boston, will bs in
Portland this week, and on June
7 will appear under the auspices
of the Portland Shakespeare Club
In an invitational recital at the
new clubhouse, EaBt Tenth and
Weldler streets. A number of the
most prominent society rrten and
women will be patrons and pat
ronesses for the everft. Dr.'
Southwlck has been here on pre
vious occasions, and has many
admirers among the artistic set
here. His reputation as a dra
matic Interpreter and his splen
did personality make him a most.
Interesting man and artist. .

the City Council of all right to reg
ulate the use of streets of the city
for any business other than ths oper
ation of streetcars.
The letter follows:
We address yon as a resident of Portland
ana a patron of ths service of this com
panr. Street railways., in all American
cities operate on the Oasis of a single far
regardless of the distance a paasancer is
transported. In Portland there are more
than 30 distinct railway lines, all connected,
however, by a transfer system. By reason
of the lensth of haul more than two-thirds
of thee Unss are so expensive to operate
that they furnish no net return and quite
a few of them operate at a very material
loss. In any system of street railway trans
portation the ions and unprofitable lines
of railway can be maintained and sup
ported only by the better earnings of tbe
shorter lines running through the more
populous sections of the city, and If the
shorter lines of street railway are unable
to support themselves and also the Ions un
profitable lines, the system, as a whole,
must fall. That condition Is now facing us.
Jitneys in Portland compete with the
street railway only for the short-haul busi
ness. No competition Is offered on the long
haul, unprofitable business. Jitneys In Port
land are operating without any regulation
worthy of the name, and, to prevent any
possible future regulation, the Jitney Inter
eats have caused to be placed upon the bal
lto to be voted on- next Monday a measure
known as the "Free use of streets amend
ment to the city charter." The purpose of
this amendment Is to amend ths charter so
that neither the Council nor the people, by
ordinances, may Impose any regulations upon
Jitney transportation. The amendment goes
further in that it would deprive the Council
of the power to regulate the use of streets
for any business other than the operation
of streetcars. No such ' principle of gov
ernment has ever been adopted In any city.
We have never asked that the operation
of Jitneys in Portland be prohibited. We do
ask that the operation of Jitneys be regu
lated In a manner, aa to the regulations of
service, responsibility and compensation to
the city comparable to the regulations and
burdens Imposed upon street railways. In
other words that the competition be placed
on a fair and equitable basis. The adoption
of the free use of streets amendment would
absolutely prevent such or any rgulatlon of
the Jitneys.
As one Interested in the welfare of Port
land and in tbe maintenance of good trans
portation service, as well as in the prin
ciples of the square deal, ws urge you to
vote against the adoption of this free use
of streets amendment. To do so yon should
mark your ballot 107 X No. Very truly

"Prisoners KSaslIy Could Be Snffoeated
In Cells Sanitary Conditions
Bad," Says Dr. Doney.
In a report recently mads to the
Methodist Ministers' Association, of
this city, Carl G. Doney, president of
Willamette University, describes condi
tions now prevailing in the Oregon
State Penitentiary, which he was com
missioned to visit.
Dr. Doney found the ventilation poor,
and reports: "We were informed that
the upper tier of cells become extremely
warm In Summer, and- that the foul
air Is almost overpowering to the
guards who watch during the night.
We entered: cells which had been va
cated seven hours and found the air
stale, fetid and nasty.
"In many cases two men occupy a
cell. -They are locked. in from 6 to 7
o clock in the evening until 6 to 7
o'clock in the morning, the two men
having but little more than 300 cubio
feet of space in the room they occupy
for 12 hours." -
- Concerning the system of locking the
cells Dr. Doney comments: "Prisoners
could hardly be burned to death In. the
cells, but .they could be suffocated. I
do not know how . long would be re
quired to unlock the individual pad
locks attached to the cells.
At .the present time there are 400
men and four women - prisoners. A
considerable number of- men are not
fully employed. It Is my Judgment that
if the material he provided the prison
ers themselves could build a proper
toilet, good bath house. . a "sanitary
bakery, kitchen, laundry, etc The
great problem is presented by the cells.
It would seem to me that they cannot
be made decent and sanitary, and that
a different' tyP of construction is
needful.
