V
Prominent"' Business Men
and Big Taxpayers Regard
Salary Increase as pnjus-
tified Clerks Not En
titled to More Moneys
V
Prominent business men and prop
erty owners all over the city are In
dignant at the action of the water
board in declaring a wholesale Increase
in the (salaries of employes of the
water department.
Vigorous protects will be made by
several or lae most prominent. 01 me
complainants, who are of the belief that
the board can be forced to rescind the
extravagant order. Matters will be
rushed by the taxpayers upon whom
the unnecessary burden will fall, and
because of the magnitude of the move
ment It is more than possible that the
order lor the advance wlu D annulled.
Impetus was given to the movement
tyesterday when Superintendent Prank
T. Dodge, who has been in' charge of the
water department for two decades, ac
knowledged that ha had declined to
accept more than 1250 a month now
being paid him.
Thursday the water board sprung
surprise upon the unsuspecting jtvater
consumers by announcing that after
March 1 the salaries of the larger part
of the water department employes
would be raised from SO to 100 per
cent. The astonishment of the con
sumers was magnified by the fact that
it has been generally understood that
the department was in a poor way
financially. It has been announced of
late that few extensions to the system
could be made for the reason that funds
were short.

Nevertheless, the board has announced
that after this month the wage of the
cuief engineer would be 1400 per month.
as against the J200 a month now being
paid him. The salaries of all the cleri
cal employee will be advanced, and in
the near future the laborers have been
led to expect a raise.
'It is an outrage:" declared George
W. Bates, the Alblna banker. Mr.
Bates for years owned and operated
the system which supplied upper and
lower Alblna with water, and was for
some' time a member of the water
board.
"It is an outrage on the water con
sumers," he said. "It is without rea
son. With one or two exceptions the
employes are not worth a cent more
than they are now getting. There
should be no reason why clerks work
ing for the city should command more
per month in wages than those work
ing for private institutions. They do
loss work and easier work and further,
have practically no responsibility.
The water denartment seems to have
no money with which to lay new mains
and make extensions, but It seems to
have plenty to unnecessarily raise sal
aries. "The salary Increase will come as
an additionally heavy Duraen just ft
this time when tuxes are so mgn. too,
water is soon to be furnished on
meter basis, and this system will re

about one third.
Pleads for Consumers,
"Water consumers have had a hard
row to hoe during the last few months

and unnecessarily forcing upon them
HrMltlorifll burdens."
William Ladd, of Lrfidd & Tllton,
bankers, would neither commend nor
criticise the action of the water board.
Ho said, however, that when he was a
member of that body he had always
considered tho salaries sufficient

"where an increase would be proper,

the water department as being poor; It
was unable to make extensions because
of lack of fun'ds; now, however, they

GIVES LECTURE
; Oil HEREDITY
i i . ii ' , i.,.
Newton N. Eiddell Dwells on
. Potency of Pre-Natal
Influences.
"Heredity" was" the subject of Newton
N. Rlddell's lecture at the White Tem
ple last night. Mr. Rlddell has studied
this subject deeolv and his lecture was
of absorbing Interest. In part he said:
"The elements of health and disease,
of virtue and vice, of angel and animal;
togetner with the inevitable results or
obeyed and broken laws, throughout all
the oenturies that have come and gone
since God 'breathed Into man the breath
of life, and he became a living soul,'
are the gift of heredity to us. The sci
ence of heredity is composed of several
factors. As In the posnatal development
of a life, there are many potent factors,
education, religious training, etc., each
of which affects the life independent of
the others, tp sum total of all forming
the character of the man: so In the pre
natal formation of a soul there are
many factors, each- of which exerts an
Influence peculiar to itself, the combi
nation of the ' whole determining the
heredity of the child."
The, lecturer then showed the Dower
of heredity on plants and animals, cit
ing .Darwin and Burbank and other au
thorities to prove his points. From this
he passed to the influence of prenatal
training on the child. The tenor of his
remarks was that heredity Is psychic
InMad of physical. Any mental actlv
ltyof the mother in the period pre
ceding birth will be discernible in the
after life of the child. Bonaparte's
mother was one of the Corslcan women
aotlvely engaged In the struggle of that
island for freedom, and her son's ambi
tion was to make all Europe . subject
to his military genius. John Mclntyre,
the Methodist exhorter, was born in a
home where religion played a promi
nent part. and. though he grew ut as
a newsboy in the Philadelphia streets,
he was appointed an evangelist In the
Methodist church before he was 17.
The last Dart of the lecture was de
voted to the study of the abnormal man.
The lecturer gave some most interesting
facts and statistics relative to the in
crease of the dependent and delinquent
classes and the cause of the ranid in-!
crease in crime.
"Forty-one per cent of the habitual
crimnals of America," declared the
speaxer, "are Dorn rrom drunken parents."
In concluding the lecture an earnest
appeal was made that as the state had
to lane care or the criminal and de
linquent classes It ought to have a
right to orevent the multinll ration nf
the criminal and delinquent. He showed
now great would be the benefit to the
future generations if the laws of hered
ity and prenatal culture were under
stood and said if he had his wav about
t he would have such laws tausrht In all
the high schools and universities.
There will be no lew-turn tnnlc-ht hi,
Sunday at S:S0 p. m. in the White Tem
ple, Mr. Rlddell will speak to men and
give his most widely known lecture,
"The New Man." At the same hour In

Salem. Or., Feb. 13. The Crater lake
road bill, carrying an appropriation of
$100,000 divided Into four equal an
nual payments, passed the house yester
day afternoon with 42 votes in its favor,
17 against and1 one absent.
Purdin, author of the bill, said It was
a most Important measure. The federal
government would build a road through
the forest reserves at the probable cost
of $350,000. He- did not consider It a
local measure. It Interested the whole
etate. Had Crater lake been in Cal
ifornia it would have been made one
of the well known wonders of the world
long ago. It would be a great adver
tisement for the state.
McArthur and Brooke also championed
the measure, contending that the ap
propriation was not a foolish one. They
were in favor of any movement that
would bring the wonders of the state
before the people of the world.
Tones Cnarffea Unfairness.
Jones of Lincoln was not in favor
of the bill. There were many counties
in the state where for six months the
roads were In such condition that the
people could not get out with their pro
duce to the markets. He was In favor
of building the Crater lake road, but
charity began at home. There were
other sections of the state that de
served consideration.
He had Introduced a bill asking for
the relief of Indian war veterans, (he
men who had discovered Crater lake and
the bill was buried. He was in the leg
islature to defend his own people and
their interests and he wanted fair play.
Dimlck was also opposed to the bill.
He believed charity Bhould begin at
home. The bill had been railroaded in
to the house under the impression that
E. 11. Harriman was going to put up
$50,000, "the generous man who has
been so Kood to the state." The road
benefited Harriman and the hotel men
of Crater lake. He believed the men
who put up the money should be bene
fited, not' the men who had summer
homes and hotel- Interests. He hoped
the bill would not pass.
Mahone talked for the bill. He con
sidered it was for the interests of the
whole people of tho state.
McDonald was also in favor or the
bill.
"A Southern Paolfio Job."
Conyers agreed with Jones of Lin
coln and Dimlck of Clackamas. Colum
bia county had grown sick of waiting
for roads to come to them. They had
been compelled to build their own roads,
and now there had come these people
asking them to pay a part of their
taxes to build the Crater lake road.
Bryant said lie did not want to op
pose the interests of the state, but he
did object to tho money of the state be
ing used to promote the interests of the
Southern Pacific. Where the men of

of these grants 'had been observed the
state would have good mads. Theae

which refused to sell them or to bene

that was enough for him. He was

"What Helps S. P. Kelps AH."
McKlnney said the adverse arguments
had made him ready to vote for the
bill. If the road would help the South

advertisement.
McCue was In 'favor of anything that
would bring Oregon before the world.
He had been In favor of the bill from
