PIER DEDICATION PLANNED
PORTION OF BRIDGE OF THE
GODS COMPLETED.
PUGET SOUND BUREAU, Seattle,
Wash., May 20. Seattle's incoming
city administration, pledged by all
the sentimental protestations of the
recent city campaign to a reduction of
fares on the municipal street railway'
system, will be confronted at the out
set with the solid problem of balanc
ing revenues and expenditures.
The new mayor. Dr. Edwin J.
Brown, and three new members of the
city council will take office Monday,
June 5. All have declared themselves
In favor of lower street car fares.
Councilman Fitzgerald, holding over,
has an ordinance all ready for intro
duction at the first meeting of the
new council, arbitrarily cutting the
fare to 5 cents. Fitzgerald introduced
a similar ordinance several months
ago, immediately following the re
port on the street railway system
made by Peter Witt, the Cleveland
traction expert. At that time Fitz
gerald's was the only vote in favor
of the reduction. At present one
other holdover councilman is reported
to have concluded that the city can
get by on a 6-cent fare. If the three
now council members are of the same
mind and the new mayor approves,
the cut to 5 cents can be made. ,
Ordinance Not to Be Rushed.
The new mayor and the council,
however, will lack nothing in the
way of warning to be careful of their
course in this matter. While Dr.
Brown has been resting from the
labors of the campaign on his Grant
county ranch, competent persons to
whom he entrusted- the task have
been assembling a lot of statistical
data and legal information on the
railway system, which will probably
have his attention before he acts or
makes any recommendation for ac
tion by the council. The new council
members are making somewhat sim
ilar investigations on their own ac
count. So that, in spite of campaign
assurances, both definite and implied,
it is not likely that a 5-cent fare or
dinance will be rushed through at the
first council meeting.
In response to the request of one of
the new council members a legal
opinion was recently rendered by Cor
poration Counsel Meier, in which he
reviews the term3 of the contract un
der which the street railway system
was purchased by means of a $15,000,
000 bond issue; discusses the effect of
court decisions, federal and state, on
various phases of subsequent litiga
tion; and finally comes down to the
substantial and incontrovertible fact
in the statement that "a reduction of
fares resulting in a decrease of re
ceipts can be brought about without
violation of either contract or statu
tory obligations, only by reducing the
costs of operation and maintenance."
Surface Snowing Flatmible.
Some of the present city officials
contend that at the 8 1-3-cent fare the
railway system is now taking in more
money than is necessary to meet all
its obligations, contract and current.
Agents of the state bureau of ac
countancy say, however, that the city
is not charging off a sufficient
amount for depreciation. The surface
showing is of an excess of revenues
over operating costs and sinking fund
requirements; and on this showing is
based the claim that fares can safely
be cut.
Proponents of an immediate cut to
the 6-cent fare make this sort of a
showing: That for 16 months after
the city acquired the system, with
tare at t cents, the average monthly
TiuoiLer of pay passengers was 8,700,
246. Under five months' operation at
the 6i -cent fare, the monthly aver
age was 7,678,075. During 1921, all
under the 8 1-3-cent fare, the monthly
average was 6,325,666.
High Fares Make Walkers.
This is intended to show that each
boost of fare drives more and more
persons to pedestrianism. The short
haul business of the system has un
doubtedly suffered by every increase.
But the shrinkage of the monthly
average number of passengers shown
by the figures is not generally attrib
uted to the rise in fares alone. The
6-cent fare prevailed while Seattle
was still thronged with the huge war
time industrial population riding to
work and for pleasure at all hours
of the day and night. The disap
pearance of a considerable number of
war-time industrialists, and the lack
of occasion for continuous street-car '
Bervice to the war-time industrial
districts of the city, will account for
much of the shrinkage in the volume
of patronage.
City Bound by Decisions.
Two judicial decisions bind the city
to a fairly straight course in han
dling the street railway problem. The
federal court has decreed that the
city must specifically perform its
contract with the bondholders by pro
viding for payment of principal and
interest out of the gross revenues of
the system, even to the extent of
levying a general tax, if necessary,
to get money to operate the Bystem.
The state supreme court has decreed
that the city must operate and main
tain the system and take care of any
extensions and all costs of whatever
nature out of the railway revenues,
and that no tax of any kind may be
levied.
By these decisions the railway sys
tem must therefore charge a rate of
fare that will produce money enough
o that it can pay for itself and pay
interest on its debts, meet all its op
erating and maintenance charges, and
generally take care of itself through
the long course of years that its
bonds have to run.
in view of these decisions and con
ditions, the new mayor and city coun
cil may have to disappoint the people
In their hope for an immediate reduc
tion of street-car fares. The condi-
. tions existed and the -decisions had
been rendered before the recent mu
nicipal campaign, but the newly
elected officials are finding that it is
one thing to be in favor of lower
, street-car fares and quite another to
grant them out of hand.
Portland Ad Club, in Charge, Will
Soon Announce Programme
and Date of Exercises. -
Announcement was made yesterday
that the pier for the Oregon shore
abutment of the Bridge of the Gods,
just completed by the Young-McDonald
company of Portland, will be dedi
cated with special ceremonies at an
early date, the Portland Ad club being
in charge. The span to be constructed
will connect the Columbia river and
North Bank highways, forming a
driveway of 100 miles of continuous
paved road, linking Portland and
Vancouver with what is declared by
many to be the most beautiful scenery
in the world.
The Ad club will make public its
programme and probably the date of
the dedication at its noon luncheon at
the Hotel Benson next Wednesday. At
that luncheon Judge Miller will ad
dress the members on the old and new
Bridge of the Gods, telling of the
mythical, romantic span of Indian
lore and of the modern one, which
will cross the Columbia river just be
low Cascade Locks.
Tribes of Umatilla and Klickitat
Indians will be present at'the dedica
tion ceremonies. Motion pictures will
be taken. Governor Olcott and Mayor
Baker of Portland have been invited
to be present and give addresses and
it is the plan of the Ad club to make
the affair general, the public being
asked to witness the exercises.

Inheritance Tax $5763.7 6.
OLYMPIA, Wash., May 20. (Spe
cial.) An inheritance tax of $5763.76
!rom the Victor E. Tull estate in
King county, was received by the in
heritance tax division of the attorney-general's
office yesterday. The
estate consisted largely of stocks and
bonds, with some real property, and
was appraised at $172,047.77. The es
tate went to collateral .heirs and as
a result paid a higher tax than would
liave been the case had it gone to
husband, wife or child.
PUGET SOUND BUREAU, Seattle,
Wash., May 20. Platform construc
tion is the chief present concern of
the leaders of both the republican
and democratic parties of the state
cf Washington. The democratic state
convention meets in Olympia next
Wednesday. Republican county con
ventions -will be held next Saturday
for the selection of delegates to the
republican state convention at Che
halis June 10.
The whole purpose of these state
conventions Is to adopt platforms, to
one or another of which all persons
filing as candidates for office will
be required to pledge their alle
giance. The platform of each party
is intended to be a set of specific
declarations of what that party
stands for with respect to policies of
state government, by means of which
every voter in the state will havfe
due notice of just what is promised
to follow upon the success of the re
publican or the democratic party in
November election. The state fight
this year will be for control of the
legislature, and party platforms are
therefore expected to indicate each
party's proposed course of legislative
action.
Democrats Announce Platforms.
County candidates are supposed to
stand on county platforms. County
platforms have already been an
nounced by the democrats and will be
adopted by the republicans in their
conventions next Saturday. These
deal with county and local issues. In
the preparation of state platforms it
is permissible for both parties to
touch upon national affairs: in fact.
the platform builders may go as far
, iney line as to conditions in the
world and the universe at large. But
the law under which the state con
ventions are to be held presumes- that
the party platforms will be particu
larly definitive of state policies, no
matter what else they may be made
to carry.
Digest of democratic county plat-
iuima aireaay adopted makes it plain
that the state convention of that nartv
is going after Governor Hart and his
administration rough-shod. From the
democratic viewpoint no good what
ever has come out of state govern
ment since Governor Hart has been at
the head of it. Supported by a "sub
servient and servile rennhlirsn ma.
jority" in the legislature, Governor
Hart has played hob with the state's
business and the state's institutions.
By means of the administrative code
he has built up a powerful personal
political machine at the expense of
tne downtrodden people. Under the
code s operations, it will have to be
admitted, some money has aoDarentlv
been saved; but not nearly so much as
would have been saved, with or with
out the code, by a democratic gov
ernor ana legislative majority,
roll Tax Repeal Sought.
The democratic platform will also
pledge its legislative candidates to
repeal the poll tax law, regardless of
the outcome of the referendum for
repeal of that law which is now in
circulation for signatures. Governor
Hart will also be condemned for the
failure of an appropriation for the
proposed state hospital for diseased
women, and for his veto of a bill
designed to control the narcotic drug
traffic in the state. These things, set
forth in the strongest language of the
democratic vocabulary, are sure to be
included in the state platform. And,
no doubt, there will be other things.
Republican leaders admit that the
construction of their party's state
platform will be a much more diffi
cult matter. This is inevitable. The
democrats, on the outside, are in po
sition to condemn anything and every
thing they can think of. They have
sonr-ething to gain and nothing much
to lose. On the other hand, the re
publican platform must be wholly af
firmatlve; and just how far a re
publican state convention, assembled
in an off-year, can be depended upon
the sustain a wholly affirmative plat
form, is a somewhat troublesome
question.
Law Emergency Measure.
The republicans of the state are by-
no means united in support of the
poll tax law. On the contrary, many
of them are violently opposed to it
It had no place In the party pro
gramme prior to the election of Gov
ernor Hart; It was proposed by the
governor and passed by the legisla
ture as an emergency measure. While
its value as a revenue producer is
conceded, no one can claim that it is
at all popular. With a democratic
platform plank for repeal of the poll
tax law it will take considerable in
genuity on the part of the republicans
to meet the issue.
It is also a serious question if the
republican delegates, brought from all
sections of the state to the Chehalis
convention, will be in a frame of mind
for an unqualified indorsement of
Governor Hart and his administration.
A year ago the governor and some of
his appointees were, for a time, under
lively fire of criticism from within
the republican party. There was even
some talk of recall. Quietness super
vened after a little while; but there
have been no open evidences of re
conciliation between the governor, and
his critics.
Code May Be Commended.
The republican state platform
should commend the operations of the
civil administrative code. This was
distinctively a party measure, origi
nating with the republican convention
in King county and approved by the
republican state convention in Bell
ingham in 1920. The general working
outlines' of such a code had been put
before the people and given much
thought before the special session of
the legislature that year, which au
thorized the governor and attorney
general to prepare a code for pre
sentation to the regular session of
1921. Up to that time, so far as is
known. Governor Hart had given the
code idea no particular attention.
But when the. code bill was pre
sented to the 1921 session it came
from the governor with a special
message urging Its adoption in the
exact form submitted. In the popular
view, and without any disclaimer
from Mr. Hart, it became "the gover
nor's code," and all responsibility for
its adoption and operation has since
then attached to the governor. Whefli-
er the republican state convention of
this year will view the code in that
light or as the fulfillment of a prom
ise in the 1920 platform, remains to
be seen.
The facts of the situation, regard
less of any question of political ex
pediency, impose a task of no little
difficulty on the republican platform
builders. The platform committee, in
conformity with the law, will meet in
Chehalis at least one day in advance
of the convention, or on June 9. The
platform committee members, one to
be named by each county convention.
will have a lot to think about.

WALLA WALLA, Wash., May 20.
Fort Walla Walla, which for 60 years
prior to 1911 served as a cavalry post
for the United States army, is due to
enter a period of new usefulness on
June 4. At that time it will be dedi
cated as a United States veterans
hospital, where disabled service men
from three Pacific north-western states
and Alaska will receive treatment.
Following passage of an act of con
gress a year ago by which the fort
was turned over to the treasury de
partment by the war department, the
fort has been -remodeled for its new
use. Some of the buildings have been
rebuilt and others have been razed,
the work having started last summer.
The station comprises almost a
square mile Of ground on a plateau a
mile west of Walla. Walla. The old
parade ground has been reseeded to
grass and some 4000 plants and shrubs
have been set out.
- The hospital will include an ambu
lant ward to accommodate 60 patients,
a semi-ambulant ward to care for 24
patients, and a central heating plant
and laundry. The entire capacity of
the institution will be 250 beds, to
gether with a staff numbering 182
doctors, nurses and attendants.
In the vocational training -which
will be afforded the patients, agri
cultural pursuits will be prominent.
Some 400 acres of the reserve now are
utilized for wheat farming, and ample
water for Irrigation purposes is avail
able. Major W. D. Judkins is the medical
officer in charge, and he will be
assisted by seven other physicians.

"BOISE, Idaho, May 20. (Special.)
Charges by Democratic State Chair
man Pope that taxpayers' leagues
that are being organized in Idaho are
fostered under political, guidance for
political purposes, has brought about
an open split between two democratic
leaders, State Chairman Pope . and
William M. Morgan, former chief jus
tice of the supreme court of Idaho,
a leader in the state tax league, and
have created a sensation in political
circles.
Incidentally the charge made by
the democratic state chairman has
done irreparable damage to the tax
leagues in that it has raised the
question as to the non-partisanship
claimed by these organisations.
Pope Iaxues Statement.
State Chairman Pope issued a
statement in connection with the an
nouncement that the republican state
central committee was back of a
movement to form nonpartisan
leagues in the various counties of
the state to get definitely at the
facts that may be presented to the
voters at large. Mr. Morgan answers
this statement tartly contradicting
the democratic chairman.
"The significance' of this action,"
said Chairman Pope, referring to the
announced intentions of the repub
lican state central committee, "should
not be overlooked. So-called non
political taxpayers' leagues in the
various counties are being and are
to be formed as part of the policy
of the republican state central com
mittee. "Many voters are strongly in favor
of the largest possible degree of non
partisanship irt the administration of
public affairs. Although temporary
chairman of a political organization,
I have for many years been in full
sympathy with all movements in this
direction. 1 am strongly in favor of
a non-partisan judiciary and I gave
my support to the non-partisan com
mission form of government in Boise.
Political League Undesirable.
"I am not, however, in favor of a
non-partisan organization inspired
and promoted by a political party. In
that case its purpose would be to
serve the ends of the political party,
which would be subversive of the
very nature of the non-partisan or
ganization. "At the last general election, when
the tide was running strongly In
favor of the republican party, the
republican state central committee
adopted the slogan, 'Vote the ticket
straight.' This year when the tide
is running strongly against the ad
ministration in the state and the
people are crying out for relief from
crushing taxation and stupendous in
competency in our state administra
tion, this same republican committee
adopts the policy of forming non
partisan taxpayers' leagues.
People Want Fact.
"What the people want are the
facts relating to taxation and the
public administration of affairs, and
will welcome such facts from" any
source, but in all fairness to them
it should be well understood that
these so-called taxpayers' leagues
are the product of a well-settled
policy of the republican state ad
ministration." To this charge of the democratic
state chairman, former Justice Mor
gan, himself a democratic leader, took
violent exception.
"In an effort to discredit the Ada
County Taxpayers' association and
kindred organizations being formed
in other counties of the state, J. P.
Pope, chairman of the democratic
state central committee, criticises the
republican state central committee,"
said Mr. Morgan.
"The democratic chairman made
the statement with full knowledge
of the facts and after having been
given every possible assurance that
partisan politics shall have no place
in the organization or conduct of the
Ada County Taxpayers' association
and kindred organizations to be
formed throughout Idaho. He made
it, knowing the Ada county asso
ciation was fully organized long
prior to the convening of the re
publican state central committee. He
made it knowing the purposes of
th association."

"I got my information and ideals at
the college," says Mr. Dickson, "and
have acomplished results to date on
the lines of breeding learned at the
college the exact lines followed by
the world's most famous shorthorn
breeder."
Mr. Dickson has established a $100
cash scholarship to be paid annually
to the member of the junior class in
dairying who is selected by the fac
ulty as most promising in the way of
achieving distinction in the breeding
of dairy cattle.
