Jl V V u WORLD Trsck D SPLE I Happy Heine Wins Jaeger Cup After Wierd Exhi bition of Speeding. Before a larg e crowd that lined the river bank near the rowing club and a warm of pleasure craft of all ktnda and description, tha first club motor boat race ever pulled off In Portland were held yesterday afternoon. Three .races , were- on the program, the two mile, four mile and .eight mile handlcapa. Tha Bdt-or Hoels. built, owned and driven by Allen Burdlck. an lS-year-old member of the club, carried off tha first race, the two-mile affair, In tha faat time of 18:23. This boat waa tha second one to start and came -across the line a good 800 yards In the lead. Behind her came the Honey Boy. the boat which bad the greatest time allowance and closely follnwinor It came the Venus. -, Many thoua-ht the time allowances made the little boats to be too great but It must be said for them that they showed better generalship. Tha second race wu won byJ.-C Alnsworth'a Rochester. This race waa much better contested than the first race, all three of the place winning hoats finishing well up In I bunch. First came the Rochester under the guidance of Harry Bell, then following p.bout seconds behind came the Mer cedes, Henry Larsen driving, with the Happy Heine third. Time. z:us. The Happy Heine, which had kept the spectators craning their neck watching lier tearing up and down me river pra limlnarv to tha race, came near ending up In the bottom of the river in the third and last race of the day for J the . Jaeger cuo. She started rrom cttratcn in this race and, as the boats came out from uner the Madison bridge and Into ihe rarge of the telescopes at the finish It was seen that she waa about even vIth the leaders but that she was racing madly from one aide of the river to the other, and rolling like an ocean liner.' As she reached a point about (00 yards distant from the finish aha sud denly spurted over toward the point. of Tloss island and when almost up to the . log booms suddenly turned again and 1 this time headed straight for the finish. The engine had broken loose from the bottom ot the boat and although atill running was almost out of tha control of tha men in her. Despite all tha ground lost she finished four lengths ahead of the Sterling. The Kittle fin ished third. Time, 18:44. : , The race scheduled to be run between the Wolf, the Vixen and the Alamo waa called off. . . - The success of tha races was largely due to the organizing work of Commo dore Oeorge J. Kelly and- .Manager James B. Welch, who succeeded In getting out, an unusually large number of contestants. ,. The judges were Rob ert Oberteuffer. A. Fleming, and George Kinnear. Mr. Klnnear la the late com modore of the Pittsburg, Penn., club, and joined the local club yesterday. His experience was a great help In' carry- ' Ing off tha races. Dr. Dammasch was starter and C M. Myers was timer. BEAVERS POCKET LAST TWO GAMES e".;:, " .?'::. ' .. ':. .l,.,:r-, ' " Garrett Wins Swatfest in Morning and Groom Blanks the Oaks Later.

It. required 10 innings to finish tha after breakfast affair, but the post pran dial engagement left the Commuters with a hat full of goose eggs. Portland meant business and started out with four scores. But Oakland was not to be denied and when Haley rested on tha bags Heine Heltmuller tore off a wallup which, cleared the fence, likewise the bag's.' Tex Garrett whlzsed one too cloaa to Truck gan. who followed Heine and Truck repeated with a beaut that ahot clear of the boards. When the ninth came along the northerners put pair over. However, the Oaks evened up by shoving a trio of runa across in tha same lnnlnr. ' With alx all, the teams went Into the extra inning. The Beavera swung like headsmen on Hopkins' offerings.

According to a decree of .the ath letlo council basketball .at tha University of Oregon will be a thing of history I until a new rymnasium Is built some-1 thing which Is not likely to be under. taken for "two or three years.

They were beaten out though only by two votes. on the around- that the amendment to tne constitution was not definite enougn. They immediately aet to work and gained enough promises in behalf of new amendment to Insure passlne their measure next fall. The athletlo council has lnterferred with tha plans oi tne oevotees or me inaoor game. The grounds for dolna- awav with tha basketball game is that the practice hall la too email and that tha university can not put out a winning team. This is Senerally admitted, but the followers of le sport say that such an attitude keeps fewer men In athletics and-hurts the university to the same degree. Then, too, the action is. criticised on the . around that it makes the university's Ideals ap pear to be only to win victories. .

We have heretofore discussed problems In which the Interest of toe public ana that ot tne company are mutual; we propose now to discuss the question of taxation in which these interests may seem to conflict There is always more or less agitation over corporate taxation, and this will probably continue until, by a clear presents, tion of the facts, we can rally public opinion to a fair point of view. FIRST OP ALL WE STATE: - (a) Street railway companies in the United States pay a higher tax per dollar of income than any other extensive industry known, except uquor ana iodscco manuiacrurers. (b) ; That the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company of Portland PAID BY WAY OF TAXES (and charges in the nature oi Taxes; bdoui juu,uw in tne year iv07. . i (c) THAT ' THE PORTLAND RAILWAY. LIGHT & POWER' - COMPANY. PAYS PROPORTIONALLY AS LARGE TAXES. AND MUCH LARGER THAN MOST. AS AP4X SlKKtil KAIL WAY.

Light ft Power Com nan v tha enuiva. lent of ALL FARES COLLECTED FROM ONE CAR IN SIX, aiici ucuutiuig uic attuaj cust ei running sucn car. - - Figures prepared in this office show that the comnanv cava an average of about 13 per cent of its gross and 35 per cent of its net, compared wun d.j per cent gross ana is.v per cent net average for cities of 500.000 population or over: that is to sav the Portland Rail. way. Light & Power Company uavs in taxes about $120,000 MORE PER ANNUM than the average of cities of the same or greater population. ;-.:;:- 5,f A". .-i--,-j-v. A writer in the Yale Law Review Ausrust 1899. osm 173". in summing up the situation, said: yv; ;v v r IN PRACTICE THE TAXATION IN DIFFERENT T O. CALITIES VARIES GREATLY. AS WE HAVE SEEN. ANn REACHES ALL ALONG FROM THE ENTIRE TAX EXt EMPTION, ON THE ONE HAND. TO OPPRESSIVE TAX ATION (WELL-NIGH CONFISCATION) ON THE OTHER." It is a fact that the Portland Railway! Light & Power Comeanv pays taxes and charges in the following amongst other forms:' (1) privilege oi crossing bridges; (2) taxes upon its power houses, carbarns and other valuable real estate at the same rate as a citi cen; (3) taxes on its tracks, which are assessed as real estate: (4) city ordinance payments: (5) taxes on its franchises: 16) cost of street paving and bridge assessments, snd- for the renair of streets between and beside its tracks, notwithstanding the fact THAT THIS REQUIREMENT IS SIMPLY A SURVIVOR OF HORSE CAR DAYS, WHEN THE COMPANY'S HORSES HAMMERED THE TRACKS. Today, with electricity, no iniurv is done to the streets by the tars, and yet the company continues to pay for the repairs made necessary, by carts and wagons which wear out its tracks and adjacent street surface. We, do not ask for unreasonable -.reductions, but do ask to be let alone until we "catch up," and want to impress you with this thought The STREET CAR IS THE POOR MAN'S CAR.

Further more, it should be remembered that there is hardly a saviners bank in the city, where the man of modest means keeps his money, which is not largely interested in the securities of our company. What difference does a fraction of a cent a year make to you when com. pared with your daily convenience in regularity and efficiency of service? And is it not true that every dollar of tax beyond a living rate is a tax on efficiency and good service? To-an v man who thinks accurately, it must be clear that an unfair burden impairs' IUV ,Kimyuiij m UU7 v turn Miv .. tmivui HVUICU1B, BUCXl S S XII O rush-hour difficulty. It is also clear that if you cripple the com fanys financial power, you seriously interfere with its ability to ead in the development of the city and its suburbs. , FINALLY: It is to the interest of every citizen to see that ha gets good serivce at reasonable rates, and that money which should be devoted to this purpose is not diverted to excessive taxation. Over S2.000.0OO have been spent on the Drooertv in the last wear for betterments and extensions', and the system of free transfers saves the traveling public about $400,040 per annum assuming that all passengers who now ride on free transfers would be willing to pay the price formerly charged therefor and which is permitted ' in many otner large cines.
