Prominent (Citizens and business men who have aligned ' themselves In opposi tion' to the annexation movement ex press adverse arguments In a multi tude of ways. No good but much evil do they: Bee Un' the proposed scheme. , That annexation will prohibit the city and county government affairs being administered ' by one set of officials fs one of - their , strongest arguments, They consider the burden that the new territory - would shift to Multnomah county. '.'';.' - "By taking over . the ' new - territory, Multnomah .county would assume an additional indebtedness of $100,000, eald Samuel Connell, president of the American Bank & Trust company, and lumber, manufacturer, who ' has been named as president of . the anti-annexation amwciatlon. "Taxes got front the added' territory wpuld not Compensate Multnomah for the burden,' Consider the miles Of roads which yultnomah county would be force tQ ; Improve. Then one must think Qf, the confusion of records." . ' ' ; :' . v-" 't, Would eaaBu"';'-v;,v, -F. Eggert, of 'Eggert-Young company, said he was opposed to the annexation scheme because It would make impos sible the ultimate union of city and county governments. -He disliked to consider the additional burden imposed upon the taxpayers of Portland. v"My principal reason for opposing an nexation," aaid D. Soils Cohen, an at torney, "is that I look for jthe time soon to cpvae wheii the Multnomah coun- ; ty government and . the city of Port land will be combined under one set of officials. . This union probably,never would' become a reality If we added more square miles to our, county .'than we now have, .'; "The territory that annexationists seek to add is, In need of practically everything.; "'Upon.' the .taxpayers . of Portland, Multnomah county, would fall the burden of Improving' this vast dls- 1 trct. Multnomah county . has enough burdens and we ' do not want more." Opposes Annexation. ' fA Dr. Andrew C. Smlthr'promlnent phy sician and surgeon, said he was op posed to' the annexation' plan because of ! the added expense 'it would impose upon the voters and. taxpayers. lie said fie believed the future city government should be made up of the combined city ana county governments and that the addition at Jhia time of new territory would make this Impracticable. He spoke of the Increased mileage of roads to be cared for and improved, of the interference with the records and of the resultant feeling throughout the state that Multnomah was being hoggish. . "Due. perhaps," said Dr. T. JL. Eliot, president Pf the board of trustees of the Reed institute, "to natdral conser vatism, my belief is that we had best leave well enough alone. We are car rying a full load as a municipality, .aqd a. full load as a county. T believe we should pot add to our present burden the burdens of outside counties. " 4; ' Wemme Sees ,JUigtK':-Xli''i ,'lB my judgment there 1 a tendency to narrow, the sphere of a great city and to combine city and county gov ernmenta, : If, we enefmber ourselves with new territory and make of Mult nomah an extremely large county, we cannot expect to form the county of Portland and city of Portland as one." E. Henry Wemme, president of the Overlook Land company, director of the Portland Automobile club, and known throughout the state as an Indefatiga ble worker in the ; interests of good roads, told of his switch from the ranks of the annexationists to those of the antla. . . ;. .;, "While before I favored annexation," he said, "I now oppose it ' I have been taught the error of my way. I have become convinced that annexation Is reallyva matter of cutting off the nose to spite- the face. Annexation of new territory would pujt a double weight up on Multnomah county and the city of Portland... I worked, for anenxatlon be cause, I thought it would mean better roads. ' .. a "I didn't realize at that time that the new territory would be a white ele phant on. our hands. I hope , that, the voters of the, state of Oregon- can be brought to "realise what this apparently harmless annexation' scheme means."; "Think of the confusion in abstracts and in titles," said J. Frank,! Watson, president of the - Merchants' National bank. '"In the first place annexation is not necessary; no sane argument can be advanced for it; so why not stay where we are? In the matter of ab stracts and titlw.. J$ would cause great trouble. As secretary of the Sellwood Real Estate company I remember tte great difficulty we encountered when Multnomah county took over that suburb.-.;- 'j,.;,. .' . : "Careful purchasers of property re quire complete' abstracts, wihch will mean that every title will needs be based on the records of Clackamas county, one of the oldest In the state. I am opposed to annexation because of a dosen reasons. I find no argument in Its favor." v GREATER LIVESTOCK . FAIR FOR NEXT YEAR Flans for a greater Portland fair were discussed and approved at a meeting of directors of the Portland Fair A Live stock association held Saturday after noon. B. S. Josselyn, president of the Portland Railway, Light & Power com pany, presented a plan for double track ing Sandy Road by parking on each aide the eartracks. The ' directors unani mously approved this plan, believing that it will be the best both for prop evy owners and the streetcar company.
