people of Pennsylvania. With the con

v President's Aaaress.
With the conclusion of these for-
snalltlea. President Roosevelt waa in
. troduced. He spoke in part ea follows:
"Each generation haa its special and
eerlous difficulties; and we of this gen
eration have to struggle with evils
springing from the very material suc
cess. The extraordinary industrial
changes of the last half century have
produced a totally new set of condi
tions, under which new evils flourish;
and for these new evils new remedies
' must be devised.
"Some of these evils can be grappled
' with by private effort only; but many
of these evils are of such a nature thst
' no private effort can avail against
them. These evils, therefore, must be
grappled with by governmental action.
"Strong nationalist though I am, and
firm though my belief is that there
' must be a wide extension of the power
. of the national government to deal
with questions of this kind, I freely ad
' tnlt that as regards many matters of
first-rate importance, we must rely
' purely upon the states for the better
' aaent of present conditions. The sev
' oral states must do their duty or our
' eltlsenship can never be put on a prop-
er plane. Therefore I moat heartily
congratulate the people or the state of
Pennsylvania on what Its leglslsture.
upon what Its government, baa accom-
pllshed during this present year. It Is
, a remarkable record ef achievement.''
Control ef Wealth.
In speaking of the evils of swollen
'fortunes of today, much of which goea
'Into commerce between the states, the
president said1:
"The national legislators should most
Scrupulously avoid any demagogic legla-
latlon about the business use of this
' wealth. But, on the other hand. It shall
and must ultimately be understood that
' the United States government, on behalf
- of the people of the United States, has
and is to exercise the power of super
' vision and control over the business use
of this wealth In the first place, over
.ell the work of the common carriers of
the nation, and in the next place over
the work ef alt the great corporations
which directly or indirectly do any in
terstate business whatever1 and this
Includes almost all of the great corpor
ations
Cost of Bnlld lng .
The cost of the building and Its fur
nishings, amounting to more than 313,
ooo.ooo, which was announced last week,
baa startled l'ennsylvanlana The orig
inal appropriation waa 34.ooo.ooo, but
this waa just enough to put up the bare
walls of the structure. A building and
pounds commission was provided for
by the legislature, end of this commis
sion Governor Pennypacker was the
head. It waa by means of a joker In
serted la the bill that it bad unlimited
authority to draw on the state treas
ury for funds to complete the building.

They have done this by spending up
wards of 39,000,000.
The most excessive extravagancies
have been practiced, and . while the
amount expended Is large, what waS
purchased with it la In keeping With
the amount.
OssasjsHeie
tone cost up
The chandeliers alone colt upward of
32.000,000, and the furniture, outside or
the tiling cabinets, which alone cost
more than 31,000,000, cost aa much as
the chandeliers. Other furnishings end
finishings were in keeping with these
huge expenditures, for to decorate the
building with mural paintings the com
mission secured the services of eueh
artists aa Edwin A. Abbey and others
of equal renown.
Much criticism baa been made of the
handsome bronse doors because the ar
chitect saw fit to adorn them with
mfalature .busts of Governor Penny
packer, the late Senator Quay, ex-Insurance
Commissioner Israel Durham and
other political leaders of Pennsylvania,
whose reputations are not of the beat.
Despite these critlclrms tbe doors are
real works of art, even more handsome
than the massive bronse doors en the
federal capttol at Washington.

"The councilman from the tenth
ward misstated the facta, and I am
sorry to say that I 'believe he did so
willfully and raalleloualy."
Thus did Thomas Oray, councilman at
large and one of the bulwarks of the
"safe and sane" majority of the oouncll,
reply ' to Councilman Vaughn's letter
concerning the Fourth street franchise
as published In the Sunday papers.
Vaughn merely smiled in reply he
had set forth his attitude at length and
seemed willing to stand by what he had
said. Aa nobody else took up Oray's
tale of woe. Mayor Lane called for a
vote on the motion giving Preston six
weeks' leave of absence, and yesterday's
session of the council waa at an end.
Oray maintained that he had acted as
he did simply that the council might
conform to parliamentary rules. When
the Judiciary committee waa ordered to
report on Vaughn's ordinance repeellng
the "perpetual" franchise of the Southern
Pacific, Masters, ths chairman, sub
ml t ted one report which waa labeled
"majority report" Vaughn put In an
other report. As each was signed by
one man, Oray called attention te the
fact that that neither could be termed a
"majority report."
la his communication, Vaughn de
clared thla Was done to delay considera
tion of the franchise question as a
whole. That was the general opinion
Of those who heard the proceedings. It
was this that called forth Oray's accu
sation yesterday afternoon. Ha de
clared tho present ordinance gave the
council ample power over the operation
of trains on that street.

Franchises were granted the Northern
Pacific Terminal company for a aide
track on Tork street and to the Portland
A Seattle for a sidetrack on Fifteenth
etreet Oray declared be was opposed
to a la-year franchise for a sidetrack
and he and Preston voted "No" The
measures were almost identical in wording.
Vaughn was the only member to vote
to eustaln the veto of the mayor on the
ordlnanoe. naming the streets crossed
by the Portland A Seattle in an teeing
the city. Bennett explained hie vote by
saying that ha thought a tunnel should
be built Instead of a out, but that aa the
Hill road owned the land It waa to oc
cupy ha thought It waa up to the oouncll
to gracefuly submit.
Shepherd said he was preparing an
amendment to the building ordinance

at the next meeting.

A public eharge against ths honesty
and sincerity of City Engineer Taylor
was made before the council yesterday
afternoon by A. N. Wills, councilman
at large, who declared Taylor was try
ing to favor the Barber Asphalt Paving
company.
.. It was another chapter in the bitter
paving war the fiercest strife between
two rival companlea ever witnessed in
Portland. Bach company has' Its friends
In the council. This time It happened
to be a friend of the Warren Construc
tion company who took the floor.
This company had complained that the
specifications for bituminous macadam
favored tbe asphalt company. Taylor
waa Instructed some time ago to pre
pare new specifications whloh would
allow competition. In the new formula
he had specified California asphalt. The
Warren company still objected, alleg
ing that all the California output la
controlled by the trust. The street com
mittee declined to accept the new speci
fications. Tet the specifications for the
macadam pavement on Third street
from Main to Hall called for California
asphalt, and at the last meeting the
proceedings were ordered discontinued
At "the same session, however, none of
the members noticed that a time and
manner providing for the Improvement
ef Third etreet waa passed. This nulli
fied the action discontinuing the Im
provement. Ysaterday therefore the street com
mittee recommended again that all pro
ceding cease. A motion thet this
recommendation be not adopted was in
stantly made. Then Wills began his
denunciation of Taylor.
Denounce Olty ugrlaees.
"The city engineer had no right to re
quire something not adopted by the
oouncll," be cried. 'There was certainly
no Justice In thle and It was not quits
honest. It la a slap In the face of every
man In the council it la not fair er
honorable.
"It seams a queer proposition to me
that we oan't have a city engineer who
can be trusted. I think that the matfpr
should investigate the action ef the cfty
engineer and have an engineer who can
be trusted."
In reply Mr. Taylor said he believed
the new specifications would really open
the way to open competition, and that
it was nothing unusual for special speci
fications to be required on certain
streets.
"I had no Intention of taking snap
Judgment, and thought there would be
more competition than before," said he.
Bennett declared It poor policy for the
elty engineer to decide on such a ques
tion while a psvlng war was In prog
res.
A vote op the motion thst the recom
mendation be not adopted waa taken.
This waa what Wills had opposed. , Th
result waa: Yes Annand, Balding,
Oray, Kellaher, Rushlight. Sharkey,
Wallace 7. No Bennett, Ma stars,
Menefee, Preston, Shepherd, Vaughn,
Wills 7. Mayor Lane voted "No," and
a vote on whether the recommendation
would be adopted waa called. Preston
surprised everybody by flopping and
voting in the negative when the mean
ing of that vote wae reversed. This
made it I to S, and Wills had lost.
Mayor Lane explained his vote by
eaylng that more time should be taken
for Investigation.
