After hearing the address the acor or mora of committee members present took part In a general discussion dur- ..'

Qood Volots li Sh Motsaa . Plan. President Whitney I Bols, of" the . Federated clubs, took occasion in the . course of hie remarks to say thnt.thero . la not a city official who is not thor oughly disgusted with tho prcarnt charter of the city of Portland. The . J chief appeal made to tho club by thi Pea Moines charter is the fact that It fixes definite responsibility on each : councilman and officer of the city. . As Dr. Chapman said, there Is no . chance to bandy words on- the part of opposing: factions, for the duties and Fowers of all officials are clearly set orth In the charter , of the Iowa city -and responsibility-is fixed so that In esse any blame attaches there is no doubt as uto the quarter In which It shall fall. There the mayor may not say to the councllmen, - "It Is your fault," , and the council may not re taliate by shifting; the burden to his shoulders. '. Dr. Chapman - said that the Tes Moines people are so well satisfied with the workings of their, new de " parture In civlo government that the chamber of commerce In that city Is sending broadcast throughout the' coun try literature telling about the Innova tion and earnestly urging all cities to try- it. . As a check to - the power with which at few men are entrusted it Is PEOniBS PLAN TO KECEIVE CANDIDATE - Prohibitionists of Portland are plan' oing to receive their candidate for prcs- - ldent, Eugene W.

"Another thing that la productive of more evil than any other one considera tion Is the suspicion with which public ornciais are generally regaraea. ine keynote of the Des Moines - charter Is confidence In the officers and publicity of their acts." At the conclusion or Dr. Chapman a address nearly every business man took occasion to express nis views, it was the unanimous opinion that Portland's councllmen should be paid a sufficient salary to guarantee the . faithful per formance of their publlo duties. Judg ing from the attitude of the speakers, the east side will Insist udoo the Abolishment of the' ward system of gov ernment and the cutting down of the numDer of councllmen. rne remunera tion suggested by the - speakers was somewhere around S3.000 a year for each councilman and a' slightly larger sum for the mayor. 70 feet, from the east side: abut ment of the .contemplated new bridge through to Columbia boulevard.

STAM)ARb BISCUIT COMPANY Sola Makan of Paradlsm Sodas OLD OAKEN BUCKETS Ask Too First In overruling the demurrer of the de fendant this 'morning ain the case of the Pacific Postal' Telegraph-Cable compa ny versus the Oregon A'Tallfornla Rail road company and the Southern Pacific company, United 8tatea Circuit Judge Wolvfrton renders a decision which not only If of great Importance to the par ties to the action, but which will have a most ImDortant bearlnsr UDon the ques tion of eminent domain. Tha telearranh mmDinr Is trying to condemn a right-of-way over the rail roads rignt or, way from foruana 10 the southern boundary of the state, the railroad company refuses to allow It to use the land. The railroad company holds its rlsht of war -under the right of eminent domain and claims that this right ceases to be operative after It has once been exercised and the land Is held under such condemnatory proceed ings. ' - rn rostai Teiea-rann company, on ine other hand, claims' that it has a good a right to condemn a right of way over the right of way held by the railroad company as over any other private land. It Is this question which the judge de cides, holding that the telegraph com pany is right In Its contention. . He says that he Is led firmly to the conviction that "under the general law coupled with statutory authority for the exorcise or the right or eminent domain, property 'devoted to one public use through quasi-publlo concerns may be taken for another publlo use for like concerns, where the taking will not ma terially impair or Interfere with, or Is not Inconsistent with, the use already acquired and is not dertlmental to the public. "The crime essential Is that the two uses may stand together, and It Is not of vital consequence that some Incon venience may result to the prior occu-l pant,, so that the latter suitor does not Interpose in such a manner as to, ma terially Interfere with the, practical use of the antecedent franchise." The de murrer is. therefore, overruled. The railroad company .has a right of way 100 feet wide to the southern boundary of the state, and the telegraph company claims the right to condemn over this right of way a right of way for Itself 85 .feet on each side of the center of the road.- New York Prohlbs Nominate.
