Indorsement of Three-SJill Levy
Ilcquired to Fulfill Tech
nical Requirement.
Fearful that the voters in Port
land will, not understand that, the
submission of t-fte S-mill tax at the
November election Is for the pur
pose of meeting a technical require
ment, the city council has issued
second statement on the subject.
This statement is toeing spread
broadcast through Portland, ar
rangements having been made by
John E. Young, chief of the fire
bureau, to enlist the aid of firemen.
The statement is Issued by City
Commissioner Pier, in charge of
the department of finance, but Is
signed and concurred in by Mayor
Baker and all members of the city
council. -
Reauthorization In Needed.
"To meet a technical legal require
ment the city council baa submitted
to the voters at the election Tuesday,
November 7, the question of re
authorizing the 3-mill tax levy,
which has been authorized by the
voters of the two past elections to
enable the city to meet current ex
penses. In order that the public may
understand the exact purpose. and
meaning of the measure, the follow
ing information is furnished," the
statement reads.
"The city charter, under a provi
sion adopted when Portland was a
small city, limited taxation for gen
eral expenses to 8 mills. With the
rapid growth of the city and the
rapid increase in the cost of all
supplies and materials, the limit of
taxation became inadequate. Conse
quently the voters have authorized
the necessary increase for the past
three years. Reauthorization now
becomes necessary for the next year.
Reduced Service Faced.
"For the voters to fall to author
ize this tax for the coming year
would mean the council would be
forced to make a general reduction
of necessary service amounting to
28 per cent in every department.
'This would mean inevitably the
elimination of several of the pres
ent fire stations and fire companies,
the elimination of a large part of
the park and playground activities,
the reduction very materially of the
police and health protection, the re
duction, of street - cleaning service
and street lighting and, In short, a
general disruption of the entire city
service. The programme of street
paving and Improvement for next
year would have to be almost en
tirely eliminated. No fund would
be available to meet any serious
emergency that might arise during
1923. The city's service is curtailed
at present, and to go further would
seriously jeopardize the city's safety
and welfare.
. Favorable Vote Urged.
"The legal question haa been
raised by the state tax supervising
and conservation commission, which
body advocates the adoption of the
measure by the voters in the fol
lowing language: 'The members of
the commission are of the opinion
that the government of the city can
not be satisfactorily operated if en
tirely deprived of this extra rev
enue, and they, therefore, urge a
favorable vote by the people on the
measure.
"The 3-mill tax' la not a new tax
and will not Increase taxes next
year.
"Because of the vital importance
of this measure to the city of Port
land the voters are urged to vote
508 X Yes on the city ballot. The
council is unanimously pledged not
to levy any more of the tax than is
absolutely necessary to maintain a
reasonable service."

good portion of whom had been
members here of Willamette and
Harmony lodges, the only Masonic
lodges in the city at that time. The
organization now has more than
1000 members.
A history of the lodge would be
largely a history of the development
of Portland during the last half cen
tury, as many of the prominent men
in the city's history were members,
-
Prominent members who not only
held the position of master of the
lodge at some time but figured
prominently in Portland's and the

editor of The Oregonian, was a mem
ber of the lodge at one time.
,
Of the 1000 members of the lodge
it Is estimated that fully 200 are
scattered throughout the world at
points away from Portland. The
lodge Has one member who is man
ager of the Ford plant at Copen
hagen, another who is head of a
tire plant at Calcutta, India, and

ing from Minneapolis, for the Pa
cific International Livestock expo
sition to be held here the week of

big government exhibit, assembled
from a score of etates, was shown
for the first time at the national
dairy show recently at St. Paul and
Minneapolis and was shipped from

November stock show here. Two
government experts are traveling
with the car and will spend the

"Pierce is slipping today all over
the state."
Such was the substance of the
expressions made by the advisory
committee of the republican state
executive committee yesterday.
Members of the advisory committee
were called on to give their ideas
an,d the reports that had been re
ceived from most sections all
pointed to the democratic candidate
for governor slowing down and
losing ground against Governor Ol-cott.
The republican campaign Is just
getting under way and this week
will find an active 'speaking- cam
paign, supplemented by literature
recounting Walter M. Pierce's
record as a tax creator while ' a
member of the state senate during
several sessions.
Inform People, In Plea.
'Keep adding a little more push,
a little more energy in getting the
true facts before tne people," said
State Chairman Tooze to the ad
visory committee. ''Mr. Pierce is
now being bombarded from all parts
of the state with his record, 'and it
is having its effect."
united States Senators McNary
and Stanfield will take the stump
for the republican ticket Tuesday,
Senator McNary going into eastern
Oregon and Senator Stanfield into
southern Oregon. Governor Olcott
will go" into Tillamook county and
with him wMl be the state chairman.
Representative Hawley is now on
the stump and Representative Mc-
Arthur is speal.ing in his own dis
trict. , Representative Sinnott is
safeguarding his interests in east
ern Oregon. On the whole, the state
campaign by the republicans is
swinging along well.
Pierce Continues Talking. .
In the democratic fold, Mr. Pierce
is continuing his speech - making.
This past week he has been brought
to the point by his advisers where
he had to issue a statement of what
his ideas were on reducing taxes.
There is still little love lost between
the regular democratic party man
agement and the Jesse Winburn in
vasion from Ashland. The latter i9
conducting series of pink teas and
spending money which the regular
managers hate to see wasted.
Robert A. Booth, chairman of the
advisory committee, at yesterday's
conference, took a few shots at Mr,
Pierce. Discussing Mr. Pierce's pro
posed tax on state forest reserves,
Mr. Booth said "that would appar
ently be a good thing if it. got any
where, out as a matter of fact there
are no state forest reserves and no
body knew it better than Mr. Pierce,
so we don't get very far on that sort
of tax promises, and when we con
sider that Mr. Pierce hasn't any
more to do With it than a snow bird
it is purely a federal function
the governor has nothing more to
do with it than he would with a
city.
Good Roada Opposed.
"When Mr. Pierce talks to me he
is very decidedly against the good
roada programme, but when" he
talked at CorvaLlis Friday night I
see he says that 'we will save the
roads." " -
Frank J. Miller of Albany pre
faced his remarks by spying he has
been traveling over the state for
the past two momthsi announced, that
eight weeks ago he would have con
ceded Pierce's election but now it is
a recognized fact that the demo
cratic candidate la losing ground.
Mr. Miller insisted that .presenting
the record of Mr. Pierce openly,
squarely and plainly before the
electorate, is not mud-slinging. I. L.
P.atterson, one of the contenders for
the republican nomination for gov
ernor in the primaries, said be could
only speak for conditions in Polk
county and that there can be nv
question that Governor Oleott's
prospects are greatly improved.
Similar reports were made regarding
Yamhill and other Bounties. There
are some counties in which Mr.
Pierce i acknowledged as strongly
entrenched and the committee de
cided on giving special attention to
euch sections so that the voter can
have the facts of the campaign
plainly in mind wben they go to the
polls.
Strong Confidence Expressed.
Representation on the advisory
committee from the western part of
the state was large and without
exception strong confidence was ex
pressed in the success of the repub
lican ticket. One committeeman
told of sitting et a dinner with 16
men, 11 of whom were for Pierce,
but at the end of the meal all 15
were for Olcott.
The advisory committee is prepar
ing for circulation a brief review of
Mr. Pierce's record as a tax raiser,
his habit of voting for salary grabs
and almost every appropriation bill
presented for his consideration, and
hia attempt to compel the roads to
be paid for by a general property
tax instead of the present system of
having automobile licenses take care
of this cost.

REINDEER HALT TRAIN
Alaska Railroad Engineers En
counter Animals op Track.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Oct. 21.
Locomotive engineering problems,
such as chasing cows off the track
and waiting for horses to give up
the right of way. are being en
countered by engineers of the
Alaska railroad just as. they were
encountered on the pioneer rail
roads of the "states" years ago.
One train came into Anchorage
from Nenana recently several hours
behind time and reported it was
held up by a herd of 1500 reindeer
which essayed to cros3 the track In
advance of the train. A little later
a cow was encountered and a flock
of hens darted across the track.
One hen was killed. ' '
"Just like railroading through the
sheep belt of Kansas," remarked the
engineer.

The Spirit of A
menca
The future progress of the nation its achievements ; its outstand-
ing- services to mankind ; its heritag-e to posterity and its ability and
power to DO shall depend upon the spirit of its people. No matter
what great undertaking the people of the Nation may be called upon
to support, its success will depend upon the common spirit of service
inculcated in the earlier years of the nation's public school education.
What we hope to do and what we shall achieve have a direct re
lationship, to our conception of our manifold responsibilities to each
other. There must je a common viewpoint as to what constitute these
responsibilities, and that viewpoint can be best fostered and estab
lished through universal public school education.
The public school system of America was handed down to us by
forefathers who knew that its principles woujd guarantee even-tempered
and balanced progress ; that it would democratize the people and
solidify their spirit upon the basis of common service a spirit that
could meet all problems successfully and overcome the obstacles which
confront leadership. - :"
The American public, school is a democratic institution. It puts love
of equality into the hearts of men. It breeds faith and confidence in
them because mingling with all classes brings the kind of fellowship .
which makes national leadership a positive thing. To isolate the grow
ing child and to deny him of this eomradeship is a thrust at the very
life of the Nation. It breeds class distinction the most demoralizing
and deadly force which undermines the spirit of any great people.
Those interested in the future of America will support the Com
pulsory Educational Bill. , . " ' ! .
