Do you say "This evil must not be scattered over the city." Why not? Is it any worse for these girls to go where they will, than for the boys and men who visit themT The plea for a restricted district sounds plausible but only those who' won't see, tail to detect lis real purpone, . , - According to the paper you were ap proached it seems. by a. person who asked you where the new district was to be placed, so that he could get a ' lease .and erect hell-holea for this in famy, He wasn't interested particularly in preserving the morals of Portland; it wasn't for that be sought the informa tion. What h was after was blood money. He-wanted to eorrall the traf fic In flesh and blood so that it would coin him dollars and plenty of them. . Rentals in a restricted district will soar to an exorbitant figure and every girl of the street being compelled by the police to enter those confines must pay a large entrance fee which she : must procure by her own degradation. A privileged son has always been source of graft , It is fair to assume that you don't want any rake off. but the re are others who do." When you designate any sec tion of this city and compel the women to abide there,, you are giving special privileges to some owners of property and to certain keepers of sporting houses; .you are playing favorites and not giving a square deal to ail.
