20 COUNTING SYSTEM 15 PRAISED WM Officials Declare Returns Speeded by Second Board. PUBLIC GETS BENEFIT Much Fuller Information Is in Hands of Headers Day After " Eleption Than Ever Before. County officials who have part in directing conduct of elections ex pressed themselves yesterday as pleased with the new plan under which the second or counting board, begins its work early on election day. A survey of the effect of the "double board" eystem shows that it has remarkably speeded up the making, filing and publishing of returns. In the election held last Tuesday every Multnomah county precinct board had its returns in County Clerk Beveridge's office .within 28 hours after the closing of the polls.. In previous general elections the time before all boards had made re turns often dragged out to three days, or even more. The first board to appear with its ballot boxes and reports reached the clerk's office at 20 minutes past 9 o'clock Tuesday night, an hour and 20 minutes after the closing of the polls.. A second return was on the counter two min utes later. Speed Records Are Made. Under the old system, wherein the counting board did not begin its "work until the polls closed, such speed records were not dreamed of and were entirely impossible. Pre cinct officials who reached the clerk's office with their returns by 3 o'clock the morning after election Lay were considered to have made a good counting record. A few comparisons will show the reading public how incomparably more complete and satisfactory re turns they now read the morning after election than was possible under the old system. The election of 1920, two years ago, was held on November 2. The morning of November 3 The Oregonian printed "incomplete" returns from 237 of the 415 precincts of Multnomah county. The morning of November 4 it reported returns from 315 pre cincts. On Friday. November 5, three days after election, one pre cinct was still missing in the re turns. This was obtained and the complete unofficial count was ready the next day, November 6. Greater Yore Reported. Comparison of another sort shows merits of the new system to still greater advantage. The morning after election day of 1920 The Ore gonian reported on a total count of 4962 votes in the contest for rep resentative in congress between Representative McArthur and Es ther Pohl Lovejoy. This year, on Wednesday morning, The Oregonian recorded an aggregate vote of 28, 666 in the McArthur-Watkins con test, or close to six times that which was possible under the old system. Two years ago the state vote on president recorded in Wednesday morning's Oregonian was 13.178, there being no gubernatorial contest that year. Last Wednesday morn ing a total of 94,898 votes cast in the governorship race over the state was reported. The incident of the belated pre cinct return in Portland in 1920 em phasizes what exasperating condi tions have been eliminated under he double board plan. When, after three days had intervened and pre cinct No. 225, at Kast Fourteenth street and Broadway, had not been heard from an investigation was made. This was what The Ore gonian said about the delay:' "The day board has been strug gling along with the ballots until the customary closing time, when the board would lock up shop and adjourn until the following morn ing." Aen' System In Praised. In precinct No. 32. the same year, not a single ballot had been counted uutil 10:30 A. M. on Wednesday. Because of the long, tedious night hours it had been impossible to ob tain a counting board in both these precincts. This condition is en tirely remedied under the new law. , "The new system works fine," said County Clerk Beveridge yes terday, "and all the expressions I have heard from board members are favorable to the change. Personally, 1 think of just one further change in the law I would like to see. This would provide for having au thorized watchers sit with the county board throughout its work. The watchers would be required to stay right with the board, not leav ing the room or 'Otherwise having opportunity to communicate with anyone any more than are the elec tion officials. I think this is de sirable to insure that no board of ficials pull anything crooked. It would remove all suspicion of any such thing." The Oregonian's record in print ing full Multnomah county returns the second day after election this year was due not only to the new method of counting by the boards, but to very thorough and detailed preparation as well. It has or ganized a corps of trained motor cycle messengers to collect the re turns and a simjlar corps of adding 'machine experts and checkers, most of whom do this work for The Ore gonian election after election. The motorcycle squad alone consisted of 60 picked men this year. Special Phone Service Provided. Most of the early returns wera speeded into the hands' of the wait ing adding machine experts by tele phone, a score of special sets having been installed by the Pacific Tele phone & Telegraph company for this purpose, that there mignt be no in terference with the regular phone service. A whole battery of Bur roughs adding machines next re ceived the returns so that at speci fied hours, in incredibly short time, totals of the vote received up to that hour were turned over to the staff of writers handling the elec tion. Copies went at the same time to those in charge of the bulletin service, and were quickly flashed upon the screen before the eager street throng watching the results. Careful instructions given the members of election boards by County Clerk Beveridge are a factor In speeding early returns to the press. Jlr. Beveridge this year suc ceeded in winning especially help ful co-operation. This all played its part in The Oregonian's spe cialized system, which this year set a mark never before attained in giving the public, right with the first edition after close of the polls, a remarkably accurate trend of re sults and complete data on the county vote the second morning after election.

The charter members, many of whom I knew, have nearly all passed to the higher lodge above, but their work remains and the splendid membership of nearly 1400. the largest in the jurisdiction of Oregon, is a monument of the wis dom displayed in laying the founda tion. "Washington lodge has ever been noted for its fraternal spirit and truly Masonic character and in order that its influence for good may be enlarged and extended we have met here this morning for the purpose of once more stirring the breast of Mother Earth in order to lay the foundation of an enlarged material Masonic temple in which the princi ples of our belived order and the tenets of Freemasonry, brotherly love, relief and truth, may be ex emplified. A place where the rough Ashlars of humanity may b forced into the perfect Ashlar and the heart and conscience divested of the vices and superfluities of life. A place where the principles of right living may ever be taught by the use of the plumb, square and level. A place where the anchor of our faith, the Holy Bible, God's inestimable gift to man, may always be displayed, open to all the rule and guide of all our actions. A place where all men that enter its consecrated por tals may be, or become, lust and up. right men and Masons. "And now, brethren, with this em blem of mortality I stir the dead earth that out of this action may arise a temple of beauty, open to ail good men and true throughout the world, who desire true fellowship and the rights, lights and benefits of our beloved order." 11 GIRLS1 S0H1N FAMILY CHILDKEX OF FOSTERS FORM OWX ORCHESTRA.

NEEDS LARGELY ASSURED Passage of ' Three-Mill Tax and . Water Bond Measures Pro vides for Services. Of the six successful measures on the city ballot last Tuesday, four directly affect the. city. City of ficials are now preparing to make use of the various provisions in these measures. ( No particular change in city gov ernment will result because of the success of the 3-mill tax measure, although had this been defeated it would have required a general re organization of all city departments and a reduction in service, estu mated at 28 per cent all down the line.- Before any general plans can ba made for 1923 city activity, city of ficials must await the. action of tha tax supervising and conservation commission, which now is reviewing the city budget. The authority granted the water bureau to reissue $2,500,009 of water bonds that fall due July 1, 1923, will secure the credit of the city. The passage of this measure will also make possible an adequate sinking fund, with the result that the bonds issued by the water bu reau will find a ready market and at prices probably higher than those offered in the past.' Third Conduit Possible. The opportunity of the water bu reau to dispose of its bonds makes possible the construction of a third conduit next year, as well as othei necessary improvements. Provision for these betterments has been made in the budget prepared by Fred Randlett, chief engineer, and L. S. Kaiser, superintendent of the bu reau. Application for permits to renew delinquent bonds can be made at any time now as a result of the passage of the measure providing for such rebonding. Under the provisions of this act any property bonded for improvement prior to July 1, 1915, may apply to the city council be fore June 1, 1923, for permission to rebond. However, before such assessments may be rebonded, one-half of the delinquency, together with the ac crued interest, penalty and taxes, must be paid. If this is done and the appication is acted upon favorably- by the city council, the re mainder of the assessment can be paid in five equal annual payments. This measure, it is expected, will make it possible for many persons owning delinquent property to pay the assessments, and in addition to bringing considerable money now outstanding to the city, it will also place much property back on the tax rolls. Grade Problem Simplified. No definite plans have been made as yet by the public works depart ment to take advantage of the measure authorizing a new pro cedure in the changing of street grades. The new measure elim inates viewers and places the power in the hands of the city, council, with property owners affected given the right to remonstrate. The measure is held to be necessary to provide proper grades foa the new Burnside and Ross island bridges. The other two measures that were successful do not directly affect the city. One, which provides for the 1927 exposition, is nullified because of failure of the state to pass an enabling act, while the measure granting authority to the'dock com mission to lease its lands will be taken advantage of by the dock commission and not by the city council. - The only measure that met defeat on the city ballot was the one pro viding for an additional municipal judge. It is generally conceded at the city hall that this measure might have passed had any cam paign been made in its behalf, but city officials were too busy cam paigning for the 3-mill tax, and the voters could only see Increased taxes in the measure and therefore killed it- Fathers and Sons to Dine.

Mr. Ashelman is only on: of thousands who suffered for years owing to thf gen eral belief in the old, false theory that "1'ric Acid" causes rheumatism.

Uric Acid never did. never can and n-vr will cause rheumatism; that it if a natural and necessary constituent of thi blood; that it is found in every nw-born babe; and that without' it we could nnt live! These statements may seem strange fo some folks, who have all along ben led to believe n the old "Uric Acid" hum bug. It took Mr. Ashelman fifty years to find out this truth. He learned how to get rid of the true rasue of his rheu matism, other disorders, and recover hut strength from "The Inner Mysteries," a remarkable book now being distributed free by an authority who devoted over twenty years to the scientific i-tudy of this particular trouble.
