V Contrary to the general belief and -perience, that the, month Immediately preceding a r residential election is, ax ways oinatrous to business, the realty business In I'oitland has surpassed that of an? nvnth -during the past; It months, andllils in spite of the printed operators' that their clients .were as I rule) refraining .from .making invest ments until the outcome of the elec tion wis linewn. - c Even the alleged fear of . Democratic success, which has been so Industrious ly put forward from hostile source for savers! weeks cast, was not sufficient to prevent an unusually large and healthy volume ,of realty sales. Men of brains and means were " not to be deterred by a partisan outcry from In vesting in Portland real estate. They knew its value, and were not to be frlsrhtened Into the belief that the sue cess or inMk, or xnai csnaiuaie ior m 'presidency could take irom its values, on the contrary thev were convinced . that no 'matter which side won, that real estate in this city could never by , any possibility be worth less man it is now, but the chances were 100 to 1 that it would always be worth more. Great Building Beoord '. The huildlne- record of the month, v mm nhnwn tw tha valua of nermlts Is sued, is another conclusive proof of the high esteem In whtch Portland property la held by Investors. The value of all Mirmlti lasued last month was 11.031 is the lara-est total for any month this rear arhd nearly twice .-that of rtntdher. 1B07. Another gratifying fea ture of the permits Issued last month Is the fact that the average value of the improvements for which permits were issued, was more than 12,600. The tvniflcance of this fact is better at predated, when a comparison is made with the number and value of permits Issued in Los Angeles, where the av erage value of the Improvements for which permits were issued during the t trst 20 days of October was less than 11.600. Heavy Bales Hot Bsoorded. e In addition to the unusually large total of realty sales made during Octo ber, it Is known that several transac tions involving a total of close to $500,000, were closed durlna- the month, but as the final papers did not pass before' yesterday, this sum does not go toward swelling .the month's tataL One prominent firm reported total sales for the "week ending yesterday of 133,000, with transactions In process of 'closing up ef almost, a like sum. Another dealer reported a deal closed and part payment made on a Stark street holding wherein the consideration is In excess of 3100.000. The two-storv brick building on the east aide of Second street, between Yamhill and Taylor belonging to the Davenport estate was reported sold to s local capitalist for 338.000. In this sle the purchaser's name wss not made public owing to the fact that the dd had not been delivered although full payment had been made. The owners of the property live in. Austra lia ord England and several weeks will elnpse fctfonv the signed d-ed will be returned to- Portland snd the transac tion closed. 1 Bryan and His Platform Can Be Relied Upon by the Voters (By C P. Strain, Assessor of Umatilla County.) . Thou shalt not decelve. Thou shalt not oppress. Thou shalt not , steal. Thou shalt not kill.,, These command ments constitute the substance of the Democratic platform of 1308, 1300 and . fVm.rm IM Hit fa.Ain both WSyS' planks in the Democratic platform of 1908. It does not make Indefinite prom ises capable or several imervriviuii. The people demand sincerity, and Mr. Bryan and the Democracy under his leadership have today met their demand. Upon the tariff question the Demo ' ... - nrnmiMs tn rvise the tar iff by a reduotioh of the tariff taxes and bv placing trust-made articles upon the free TustThe Republican platform promises revision of the tarlfj (after , election) without saying which way they will revise, up or down. i fmTm slk Zs Tas-aev ' Mr. Taft says that some schedules wUl be ralaed others lowered. But-he will not specify which ones. Thus Mr. Taft and his party invited deception and disappointment.- The Democratic party opposes poiiti aal contributions from corporations and . ir. nnhllcltv of all campaign contributions before election. ' It is now applying this rule. yf The Republican party professes to favor the same plans. But It will not, perhaps dares e not, publish Its contri butions until after election. . The Democratic party demands that no set of men shall oppress the. people through trusts. It not only promises to piece" trust made articles -upon the free list. It goes farther and demands that powerful corporations -desiring to do an Interstate, business shall be re quired to first obtain a federal license. This license will not be granted except " to corporations able to give satisfactory evidence of the lawful character of their business. . Any ' corporation falling to get such license,.... or having had such license revoked by the government, will be shut up in the state -of itejprlgln - A rower Wltk OeverMaen. . The power to grant or revoke such license will give to the government the mastery over any possible combina tion of predatory capital. For if any cornoratlon fails to meet , the test bf -law in the beginning, or tf It rorrelts Its.llcense by subsequent transgressions, of ! the provisions thereof, it will lose the -marVeta of alt ths states but its home state. The license plan will com- ' pel corporations to choose between do-, trig an honest business 1n all of the 46 states, or of doing a. crooked bust-; . nees In but one state. .

But it presents , nq speclfle workable -method of doing so.: yThe Democratic: party proposes to abolish oppression-and robbery through tariff snd trust legislation, -r.. 'I The Republican party" leaves the peo- We to hope that some method wilt be oevlsedf (after election) to regulate trusts in the people's favor. 1 to the Realty Market Record for the Month Gain. R.

But at the same time evidence mul tiplies that the syndicated interests en tertain a strong faith that the people are to be deceived a faith which1 they are backing; with financial support that the Republican leaders dare not publish before election. Everybody knows that standard uu ana tne steet comDinauon have become monopolies, having power to set their own price to Dotn tne man who has .oil or Iron lands to sell, and to consumers of the products of oil and steel. The beef trust, .and the whole brood of trusts are fast approaching such monopolistic powers. . We saw a com bination of wool buyers beat down the wool market from elghf to 14 cents last spring when conditions seemed to war rant the ruling prices of recent years. The Democratic - party demands that the Filipinos be assured of their ulti mate' independence. Such a publlo dec laration ' would not only pacify the islands; It would assure the . whole world of our good intentions. This would promote our peace and safety, adding also Immensely to our moral prestige the world ove - Demanded Monest Platforms. Mr. -'Bryan, has been called erratic changeable, visionary, unsafe. Yet he has demanded through all. his publlo career that platforms be made specific and honest; that extortions through special privileges be extinguished; that Justice be made the foundation of all law, whether local, state, .national, or international. No discouragements, no defeat, no temptation has ever swerved htm from this creed. His courage,, his moral pur pose, his .fortltade, his sublime' faith in the people have raised him to an un matched eminence of leadershln which extends far above and beyond party lines. He is today the most command ing figure in America. The onlv issue which Mr. Bryan has abandoned la that of free coinage of sliver. , Mr. - Bryan, lik other deep thinkers, believes tn the auantitlve the ory of money. That Is, that money fluc tuates in value according to its produo- non. ''', . ' 1 X.lttts.Oold 9rodaeed.- . In Hit the e-old mines -were nroduc- tng but little gold..

But the World Almanac of 1834 gives the' production of gold in 1898 as $130, 000.00. - And the same authority for 1308 gives the production of gold in 190C as $400.000,000.. This enormous in crease in gold, being followed by high prices au over tne - worm, proves the correctness of Mr. Bryan's theory in 1896. The demand in 196 for free sil ver has been met by . the trebling of gold production. No human mind could foresee this providential solution. But so sensible a -man aa Mr.' Bryan can and does accept It. All but the ignorant and insincere approve his acceptance., . ': -Afeeed of .Sis Tarty. .'.

Bryan in 1896 denied the right of trusts to stifle competition, bankrupt rivals, or to prey upon the people. Roosevelt oaught up in 1908. . ,' Advocates Savings Guaranty. Bryan is now advocating the sate guarding of the peoples money de posited in the banks. Through his counsel and advice the Oklahoma con stitution, wiiich la substantially a new charter of liberty in this country, pro viding for popular government through direct primaries and direct leglslstion, as in Oregon, was adonted. And under this, constitution Oklahoma is .now, demonstrating the wisdom or nanK guarantee of deposits. The Republican leaders are making a weak atempt to oppose this plan by promising (sfter election) 1n the form of postal savings banks. But they de feated a bill a very mild one at that to establish such banks. ' Mr. Brysn demands election of TJnlted States senators by the people. Repub lican leaders oppose. .

Henry, a .. well known and successful realty broker, har the following to say: "A number of "real ' estate deaiers lav Portland In interviews published re cently in ths Qregonian, have said that they, believe sales 0? real, estate will stop and that values will drop if W. H. Taft is not elected president. A num ber of these men have not been success ful In selling real estate, evidently be ing more inclined to polities than to the selling of real estate; can they be successful if they do not9 have absolute confidence In their property they are disposing of ? -They, with a number of bankers and some weak-kneed mer chants, foolishly shout panic and hard times, if people won't fall down to their dictation. . ' . "I have had a ntimber of people come in during the past week or two, saying they would not buy until after the elec tion. In one instance in particular an ex-banker, who stated that he would buy if be was sure of Taft's election. I fiofnted out to him, and to others .of Ike narrow mind, that he and. others like him had been buying property for a number of years, but had . never enough faith and confidence in them selves, in their city; IM their country, or In the dealers to buy anything. I cited to him the Instance or s lot on Fifth snd Couch streets that I urged him' to buy five years ago, and which I bought afterwards, and doubled my money in a little over a year. -, "I also recalled to him the fact that I had urged him to buy about five years ago the quarter block on Seventh and KEEII RIVALRY OVER CAR LIHE " - '" . 1 Property Owners onTPenin sula Deeply Interested in Route Chosen.. . The extension of the carltne to the Swift Packing company's plant on the Columbia slough has' developed a friend ly rivulry among property owners on that part of the peninsula for the lo cation ,of the line down certain streets. The oiiginal plan and desire of the people! was for the line to pass from KlUMKkwortn avenue nortn along ai bins avenue . to Pippin street, thence wasterlv alone- Plnnln street to Dover ayenue and from' Dover avenue - north to tne pacKing grounas. Tne r-sa-tisna Railway company -made its surveys and the property owners fully approved of this location. It looked certain that this would be the route until the city council complicated matters by making exact lone as to the form of franchise. That, gave time' for rival interests to get into play. A number of property owneis along Patten avenue wished to open up their holdings to car service, accordingly they petitioned' that they would have no objection to the carltne passing along that avenue. The mat ter was ultimately referred to the street committee of the council, which disapproved of this location. The rea son given was that Patten- avenue was dedicated as a 100-foot boulevard and should be retained tn that form for a future speedway and fashionable drive. A number of property owners took advantage of this decision to undertake to locate the line farther west down Denver avenue. As far as the different Iiroperty Interests are concerned, the ocntion of the line is of vital import ance. The advocates . of Denver avenue argued that by building down that avenue the Portland Railway company would not have to build so much ad ditional trackage, for the reason that the company could utilise the tracks already in along Killings worth avenue for a longer distance A comparison of distances betweon parallel streets represents the interest of the future residents of that district. The carllne ever to St Johns turns north from Killlngsworth avenue and runs out Greeley street- to Pippin street It is eisht blocks from O-reelov street to Denver avenue, so that the ureeiey street canine would b paral leled within a distance of eis-ht blocks.

Why, even the Chinamen have more business sense than some of our bankers, and have a better knowledge of the industry and capacity of this country. They are not caring which "Bill" Is elected. They fully realize that the rains are going to fall, the earth is going to produce, the salmon are going to run up the river, the Hood River apples are go ing to be Just aa red, the timber Is go ing to be Just as valuable; in fact, all . v. . k4.tj.1da n nrn. gon are going to be sought-after Just as much after the election, no matter which of the two candidates are elect ed. .. -, I . . -. . - ', It is childish and absurd in the ex treme for these so-called intelligent men , to belittle their own country in the manner they are doing at election time.

And every indica tion points to greater business and np--buildlng of our city and state for the coming year." , i ver avenue over to Union avenue.. the next nearest line on tffe east "The resi dents betwen ' those two streets woul'l have to walk a distance of 18 blocks. To make a more Juot location for the interests Of the residents of that district the line should be located as near the middle between Greeley stroot : and Union avenue as possible. This would throw it closer to Patten avenue, but Patten avenue is now 'out of the race, so that, it brings it back as It was originally Intended to Alblna. avenue." ' From Greeley street where the carline is at tp resent to Alblna avenue is a dig- . tance of 19 blocks. From Alblna, ave nue on over to Union avenue is a dls-., tanns of 13 blocks.
