W:Ml BEIilG DQIIE BY IfJITIATlUE OflE ilUflDUED -anlxation Waa"v Formed In Portland Just Six Months ' ; ' Ago, Today. "X - 'embers' active in, : T DEFENDING THE PEOPLE 7reventing ,Vlubl Franchises Bo - ing Given Awty.Ortit--OrfnLi. tion la Almost Ideal In Iu Scope, ; Uemberahip and PUns. ; ' Just six mentha at tonight a mass nee ting was bald la EIa- hair which -esulted In the organisation now known tha initiative On Hundred, h t Tha Initiative 'One Hundred mar ba soned aa a modern vlgllanoe commit- a, organised, to stand between a sat of apaolous corporation! and an easily ambooxlad public, with the purposeof ervtng- tha lntereste of tha lattar and oaranteelng to It a square deal. Portland's saw champion of tha people -a born aa a dlraet result ol tne nunc f -a bunch of applloatlona for f ran hlses on tha part of various public ervlce corporations. In soma oaasa tha rantlne? of tha franchise would manl stlv work to tha detriment of the tvs Interest. To turn over Front treat to tha United Railways, for ex -mpls. would close tha Ust door In the .ace of the plan for a "f elr-for-all" rail road on the west side. Tha board of trade called a mass meeting and there was conceived a scheme for the organt- atlon of a body that would represent the people of Portland as nobody 'bad ere before reDresented aa American 'ltr. Thus sprang Into being , the initiative Ona Hundred... .'; ; aVop la Broadamed, - But once the new organisation began o take definite form In the minds of .ta promoters. Us purpose was broad ened and made to Include the advance nt of Other enterprise for the bene t of the city. Tha body will not only aire Portland from the grip of private monopoly, but It -will also attempt tha gigantic task of turning Portland Into ummer resort whose, fame shall . belt tfce globe. ' ' , The Initiative Ona Hundred la not a ; am Idly chosen, but suggests the nu merical soop of the body as well ss It method of securing results. , The mem rshlp Is limited to 100 persons.,; one .i-om each voting precincts of the elty end 14 at large. The body Is prepared to disregard the authority ef the elty council, when that organisation tends toward - eubservisnee to corporate de- ires rather than to publle needs, and o direct to the people, making laws or . reeking laws through, tba Initiative ana referendum. - s ..---.. The 100 members were first chosen v a committee appointed by tHe rep watattve mass meeting at Eagles' a. If a aaembar fails to attend the sular monthly meeting, or . other- exhibits his lack of Interest by ailng to pay bis dues of Jf sent a onth. his office Is declared vacant and ma ona else la elected by the remain I members to fill tha vacancy. Prac oally all the member are active and . t would ba impossible t get together a mora representative or public-spirited reap of man than the Initiative On hundred. 1 '' - ''"-, The sfflcers are: President. Fraaeia 1. McKanna; vice-president. Dr. Bmmett - Zrake; ascretary. O. W. Taylor; treas urer, H, H. KewhaO. Tha . "delsgate" - method of organisation makes It pos- slble to go to work with the greatest amount ef facility. A proposition for referendum can be put Into tha hands of tha Of precinct members and. If tba cause Is meritorious, the required num ber of signatures can ba secured wlthla 14 ' hours..' ; . , ', - - ' v . Object ef Orgsariaetloa. The object of tha Initiative ' One Hundred, as set forth In tha by-laws. Is to "promote tha moral, social and ' financial welfare of Portland. The 'declaration of principle required t be signed by" all member much more clearly reveals the alms of Portland's committee of safety. All new mem bers must agree to work for a munici pal railroad extending north and south through Portland on both tha east and the west side, to boose tha movement for tha acquirement by the city of suf ficient amount of riverfront to regu late the dockage charges, also the ac quirement by the city of aa ex tensive system of parks,; parkways, boulevards and high bridges on both aides of the jiver. - ' ' ' :. . ..

These things, - rcirk you, are not merely In the dream stag of exist ence. . The Initiative One Hundred Is going after-them without a shadow of uncertainty as to the outcome. . At the next dry 'election, which come next June, the people will be asked to vote bonds to begin this work. At tha same time theyrwlll be asked to vote bonds to. provide for the municipal railways running north ana south on each side ef the city. It Is, of course. Intended that these railways shall be supported by revenue derived from the users thereof, the main purpose being that all shsll be subjected te the same con dition : ... .r Mast Save atunlelpal Ownership. " '.According to the declaration of prin ciples, ths members must work for municipal ewnsrshlp In "ksneral. This, as explained by President McKenha, does not msn that steps shall at once be taken to acquire all the publlo serv ice corporations In town. The plaa Is . not .- necessarily ' to municipalise. but to municipalise, ( rather- ss a last resort In ths battle for a square deal for the public. Probably the moat important aenier- ment so far of the Initiative One Hun dred has been the Insertion of a clause In the Front street . franchise ef the United Railway company reserving the right of the elty to purchase the tracks at Its own discretion. A committee Is now working on the city council looking te the Insertion of a similar -reservation In the Third street franchise .now pend ing." - - The Initiative One Hundred also' has a committee at work preparing a complete oourse of Instruction dealing with the way the people may make the elty laws, now that the new .constitutional amend ment has taken the legislature's part ft that work away from It. . . . rightlagv Overhead Wiring. . Another' committee baa been working on the city council for the past three months, seeking to abolish the system of overhead ' Wiring. Another tangible aceompUshment ef the Initiative One Hundred Is the park ing of. the street a Through- the elty council acting with the property-owners several miles of the elty's streets have already been fringed with , trees and flowers. 1 . . AU the . eommltt Bamed . are active and approaching nearer the accomplish ment of their purpose every day. Nearly all will repoft at the- meeting tomor row night. At that meeting aa addi tional committee, to be known aa the committee oa ctvlo aesthetic, will be appointed., It will consist ef one mem ber from each ward and its purpose will be te arouse the pride of the peo ple In beautiful things and t cultivate a taste for the beautiful. Other bodies like the Inltlattv One Hundred are springing up - la ether cities, both In tbe east and oa tha Pa cific coast. The movement Is not aa ephemeral 'one. - It Is not a fad.t It Is the product of an awakening of the people, of the revolt from the yoke of corporations and the graft ef politicians. Legislative In Its character. It a not political. It will take no part la what Is known as politic, yet It will rob that ?ollUca of Its sting. . .
