REX OREGONUS ENDS
MS SUCCESSFUL REIGN
Last Days of Rose Festival Mean That
Portland and Oregon Will Make Ready
for More Elaborate Presentations Next
Year.
So successful has the Rose Festival been that it has
already been determined that the "June Rose Days" in
Portland shall be perpetuated. King Oregonus of the
lune of 1909 will be all the more appreciated when King
Oregonus of 1910 points the way to "500.000 in ll12."
In a blaze of light and with the
cheers of the multitudes still ring
ing. Rex Oregonus adjourned his
court last night and at the moment
the Portland Rose Festival for 1909
became history.
Unwearied by a week of festivity
and jubilation the population of Port
land massed on the streets to see the
repetition of the electrical pageant.
This was the fitting and formal fare
well of the people to the feast of the
rose. Long after the parade had
passed they remained crowding on
the streets making the night noisy
with their merriment and cheers.
The parade was marked as on Tues
day night by the perfection of its
beauty. Bach float was a unit of
thought rlvtn expression In tangible
.form to show the products and flow
ers of Oregon. The whole eompoHed
an exhibition which made the people
of Oregon proud of their state, yat none
the lens did It surprise even the oldest
arriong them to realize as never before
the tilings possessed by the state to
distinguish it above others.
Cheers for ths Hakeri.
Riding In the lending car wore Ralph
W. Hoyt. president, and- George I..
Hutchin. manager of the Rose Festival
association. Their progress was a con
tinual ovation. Spectators havng
learned thut to these two men Is due
tl,ie credit for the Initiative and enter
prise that made this year's Rose Fes
tival Hti event 'if national importance,
showed their appreciation with enthu
siasm. "And I am satisfied, pleased, encour
aged.'' exclaimed Mr. Hoyt when he
looked out upon the thousands of faces
upturned and the thousands of hand
kerchiefs waving salutes. "When the
plans for the festival were being made
and the work was bein done I had some
fear that the exposition at Seattle
would be so much greater an event that
IflCDI TAX IS
CENTER OF FIGHT
Tariff Muddle as 3Iucli In
volve! and Senseless as
Some "Reporters' Copy."
Hy John E. Uathrop,
Washington. June 12. The real fight
connected with the general battle over
the tariff bill Is conceded to be that
centering around the Joint proposal of
Senators I'ummini and Bailey for an
Income tax. for the reason that the
high protectionists realizo that this and
other provisions for raising revenues
other than by the imposition of customs
duties Is the beginning of the weakening
of the protective system of Import du
ties, by removing one good excuse for
Imposing such duties. Aldrlch and his
sssociates. advocates of high protection,
are BRainst the income tax more
strongly than they are against the low
ering of duties.
While the Pacific northwest senators
have been it most Instances supporting
duties, some of those asked for by Aid
rich and some moderate deities, all of
them excepting perhaps one. Heyburn
of Idaho, are aligned with those who
support the Income tax proposals. This
gives Bourne and rhamberlaln of Ore
gon; Jones and PUos of Washington,
Borah of Idaho, and Ulxon of Montana,
and if the senators from other states
who have given aid and comfort to the
income taxers remain steadfast the ac
quisitions from the Pacific northwest
will be enough to. win victory for this
method of raising revenue.
Aldrlch Has Work Cut Out.
During the coming week the Income
tax will absorb real Interest, although
there may be more or less stirring
debates over other features. The Indi
cations are that the Democrats will vote
practically solidly for it. Aldrich will
put forth his most strenuous exertion
before June 1. the day for the consid
eration of the Bailey-Cummins amend
ment, to substitute taxation of net in
cojhies of corporations, to be effective
two years only. In this he will prob
shly have assistance from President
Taft. who is disposed to push the cor
poration Income tax in lieu of the gen
eral income tax, although the Cummlns
Balh'y amendment contains -provisions
for such a corporation tax.
Worth west Will Turn Seal.
The income taxers claim 17 Repub
ltcm senators will vote with them, with
Si Democrats this would give '4f votes,
nr seven ia.tority. there betng 91 votes
In the senate. From these figures It
will be seen the Pacific northwest sup
piles the votes which will win. unless
defections occur' from other states. New
Kngland. New York. Pennsylvania, will
be solidly agaU,"t Income. .
Lorflmer of Illinois has not (qualified.
benceMhe Republicans are short one
vote of their full strength of 69. "Mc
Knery of Louisiana, Democrat, cannot
Contfnued on Page Five.)
It would draw visitors there rather than
to Portland. The event has not Justi
fied such a fear. For the people from
other states came here first and I ap
preciate the consideration shown."
Even Better next Tea.
"And I am .pleased, too," said Mr.
HutchlnN "The thousands of 'etters of
appreciation which have reached me
during the week have been a great
source of gratification. We shall go on
to build larger for another year, to
make the festival more distinctively
Oregonian and to advertise our great
state and our great city and their pro
ducts and possibilities to all the world."
Meanwhile the parade was making
progress. Kaeh succeeding feature was
received with fresh applause. The dens
est of the crowd was found In the vi
cinity of the grandstand built In front
of the postoffice on Morrison street, but
the streets were filled with people. The
order of procession was preserved ex
actlv as on Tuesday night. The cor
don of police and the police band led
the Way; then came the car bearing the
officers and guests of the Rose Festival
association, and following were the
floats dedicated to the King Oregon, the
Queen of Flowers, the Queen of Beauty,
and all the rest typifying the beauty
of the country and the progresalveness
of Its people.
Thing of Beauty.
The imprwsslon made was not one
soon to be forgotten. "A thing of
beauty and a joy forever," might well
be quoted in description. Visitors from
many states and from many countries
were witnesses. Among them all there
was not to be heard the voice of dis
satisfaction or criticism, but only ad
miration and npplause not only for the
parade but for those whose thought
and time and money made it possible.
It was a brilliant event, and Its lm
pressivtness was not lessened by com
parison with the preceding features of
the work.
And now the tale is told The sorilv
has laid down his pen The noise Is
hushed, the lights are dimmed, and the
cjty is quiet. The work is done and
there will be a rest b fore the plans
for 1910's Portland Rose Festival are
put Into form.
POLICE DID WELL
DURING FESTIVAL
Chief (Jritzrnacher Compli
ments Force for Han
dling Bi Crowds.
Highly complimenting his subordi
nates and all members of the police
and detective force, Police Chief Grtti
macher yesterday gave out a statement
showing the remarkable absence of
crime during the Rose Festival, In the
course of which it was anticipated the
police would have much trouble.
The chief pointed out that but one
case of pocketpicklng- of any consider
able amount had heen reported, and that
a marvelously small number of petty
thefts and burglaries had come to the
notice of the department.
Voicing and echoing the commenda
tion of the people of Portland as a
whole, as well as thousands of visit
ors, the chief declared that never In any
city had the crowds been handled to
better advantage. Declarations compli
mentary of the department and Its work
have been pouring In at headquarters,
and the almost unbelievable absence of
crime, which usually attends such eon-
ftregatlons of people as the festival
iss seen, has aroused general com
ment. "I am more than proud of the de
partment," declared Chief QrlUmacher.
"Every man has worked with a will,
never complaining of the long extra
hours of arduous duty which has been
demanded of them. There has been no
robberies or any character of crime
worth speaking of. Boisterously In
clined crowds, all out for a good time,
have been kept in order. The police
have not been found wanting."
Captain of Detectives Baty congrat
ulated his men yesterday upon the
scarcity of pocketplckers and robber
ies of houses, and in the general opin
ion the detectives have as much to be
nroud of as their brother officers In
blue clothes.
During the festival the police have
earned the respect and admiration
which has long been due but was never
before so forcibly Impressed upon4 the
public mind. Nothing but words of
praise come from every sotirce.

would be good policy to give midship
