In transmitting the report of the state
By the unalmous vote of the 14 railroad commission respecting the col
councilman present this morning thalllslon of a Southern Pacific engine ana
ordinance authorising the sale of $450.- a Fifth street car. Mayor Lane urged
000 worth of bonds for the Madison I the members of the city council to re
street bridge was passed despite the I peal the franchise of the Southern Pa-
fact that 5,135 voters have petitioned I clfle company and pass a new ordinance
to change the location - of the bridge
from .Madison' street to Clay and Mill
streets. City Attorney Kavanaugh
counseled the members of the council
that -under ta amendment,-passed by
the people in .the 11(07 the council has
no power to change the location of the
bridge and that the only manner in
.which this can be done is by amending
me amendment elected oy tne people.
County Commissioner Ughtner was
present and urged the councllmen to
pass the ordinance authorizing the sale
of the bonds saying that the bridge Is
Which will compel the company to op
erate its line In a manner more nearly
In harmony with the Interests and safe
ty' of the people.
Mayor Lane stated in his communica
tion that the council has npt the power
to compel the railway company to cease
the use of the street by the ordinance
which was passed In May 1907. The
mayor contends that by the terms of the
company s rrancnise tne council can
enact such legislation as will control
In the Worst possible condition and Is the toy
nuisance or a source or aanger, Dotn
a dally menace to the lives of hun
dreds of people. He said that the
bridge is carrying more traffic at the
present time man it waa designed to
carry In Its strongest condition and
that the repair of the bridge now is far
from that condition. He. said, that
boards have pulled apart and that one
of the largest timbers In the structure
is rotten; tnat tne structure nas been
bolstered up with pilings, which catch
all the drift of the river forming anoth
er menace to the sarety or the people.
So, Hot Ye.
Repairs which have been made on
the bridge have become so expensive
that the -commissioners recently sent a
bill of $1,000 to the O. W. P. Co.. as Its
share of the cost which the commis
sioners think the com Dan v should bear.
Inasmuch as the streetcars form a large
part of the traffic crossing the bridge.
"Has the company paid the $1,004?"
asked Mayor Lane.
"Not yet," replied Mr. Lightner, "but
we are going to see that It does, if there
Is anv power we can Invoke to do so."
Judge Seneca Smith waa accorded the
privilege or tne noor ana in tne course
of his remarks took exception to the
opinion of the city attorney In that the
council IS a legim uvu iwuy ojiu ma
power to make such changes as accord
with the wishes of the people. He was
followed by A. Van Hommlsen who
dwelt at length upon the feasibility of a
high bridge. He was Interrupted by
Councilman Baker who asked him to
keep his remarks to the question at
issue as did several councllmen who ex
perienced difficulty In understanding
the point Hommlssen waa endeavoring
to make.
Urgent Weed of w Bridf.
Baker stated that the Madison street
bridge had been voted for by the peo
ple, and that because of the condition of
the present bridge ths new one snouia
be constructed at once. He said he was
nnt nnnnKed to a bridge farther south
and would aid the people In securing
such a bridge, but tnat tne ataaison
street bridge Is an established structure
of years standing, ana tnat an attemp
tn remove it would be to change condi
tlons that have existed for years. He
said that so far as the shipping of deep-
unit vessels In UK haroor waa concernea,
such a factor had no bearing on the
nrKunt Question, because it Is a set
tied fact that no such vessels Would go
farther south than the bridges, and that
a high bridge would ne useless, ne con
tended that this class of shipping will
be confined to the lower harbor In the
years to come.
At the conclusion of Baker s remarks
the ordinance was -ut on its nnai pas
sage, and the roll call revealed the fact
that every councilman present was an
favor of selling the bonds. Councilman
Concannnn was absent. The bonds will
be advertised In Portland and New York
for a period of SO days before the bids

Points On Danger.

report of the honorable board of railroad
or tne state or Oregon
In the matter of the collision between
an engine of the Southern Paclfio Rail
war comnanv and a streetcar of the
Portland Railway, Light & Power com
pany. .
Tnis report points out tno danger in
curred from a steam railway traversing
the heart of the city upon a street with
such a heavy grade as Fourth street,
and the appalling damage which might
result from a runaway train or even a
single car In the event that such an
accident should happen.
"It Is also stated In this report that
the City council of this city has the
power to enforce a demand for safe
guards at street crossings from this
railway even to the extent of compelling
It to remove Its track from the street
and It seems to be the impression of
the railroad commissioner that some
action designed to accomplish the lat
ter result has been taken by this city

RESULTS
That The Journal is a first clasj medium for nelling real tte
is evidenced in the daily retults that real estate dealers and private
individuals gtt through its columns. The testimony of nuny dealers
who find The Journal gires far greater results than all other me
diums combined, is proof positive that The Journal e'njors a larger
local circulation than any other city publication. In fact this is the
secret of the superior results that The Journal gives aJl its adver
tiaers. including the housewife who is in need of domestic help,, the
merchant who seeds a business manager, the manufacturer who
heeds a foreman, the man who requires an automobile, and the re
tailer who needs to pack-his store with therreat purchasing public
It is the great purchasing power behind The Journal s unequalled
local circulation that makes it the most potent factor in removing
the tons of household commodities from the merchant s shelves to
the homes of Portland and vicrnrtr, and that keeps the wise mer
chants busy replenishing their stores with brand new good. Jam
nal adrertisers have no shopworn or dusty goods? consequently
are not compelled to g into bankruptcy.

Tne success or our system of govern
ment rests upon trie careful observance
of the constitutional''' division of power
between the state and the nation. A
number of expressions havo. been coined
to describe the relations existing be
tween the federal government and tha
several subdivisions, but no one has
been more felicitous in definitions than
Jefferson or more accurate in drawing
lines of demarkation. He presented the
historic position of tho Democratic
party when he declared himself in fa
vor of "the support of tho state gov
ernments in all their rights, as th
most competent administrations for our
domestic concerns and tne surest bul
warks against anti-Republican tenden
cies," snd "the preservation of th gen-1
eral government In its whole constitu
tional vigor, as the sheet anchor of our
safety at home and peace abroad." The
Democratic platform, adopted at Den
ver, quotes th language of Jefferson
and declares that It expresses th par
ty's position at this time. i

It would be almost as difficult to
