QUESTIONERS AS
IFllSMHI
IS REALLY SINCERE
i Friends of Commission Form
- .Want Early Action on New
'I Charter Plan; Reasons for
Delay Are Cited.
Can active cooperation be expected
' from A. Q. Rushlight In bringing about
the early adoption of the communion
", . form of government In Portland If he
elected mayor next month?
This question la bolns; asked with
some degree of anxiety In aome quar
''tera. Friends of the Republican nom-
,- , inee aot'inre mere is no question 01
the loyalty of the standard bearer lo
the commission form of government an
the record of Rushlight as a member
. of the council bear this out, although
. ; ..- he did not make this a part of hla
platform In the ante-primarr cam'
i The only questioning not se far
'Sounded Is the suggestion In an lnter
,' , view with Rushlight published the week
. before the primaries, wherein be sa!
- he would favor submission of a com
'mission charter to the people not later
than November, 1912, and suggested th
v expense of a special election aa an ob
lection to an . earlier vote. His lan
gug In this Interview was:
Xas Expense in Kind.
,;v. "I favor the appointment of a com
m it tee to draft a commission charter
: for presentation to the electors not
plater than November of next 'year, a
, ; -which time there will be a general
tate election. I will have no objection
' to voting upon It before then, but
- have In mind the expense' attached to a
special election, which would be saved
were It to be left until the general
lection."
Rushlight Is also quoted aa having
made the abatement that ha would as
1st In subscribing to defray the ex-
. ponse of a special election' as soon sha
new charter can be framed ond fairly
- discussed. Taken together, these state
menta of the Republican candidate are
. Interpreted to mean that Rushlight will
be opposed to a special election at the
expense of the city and will only fa
vor It If money Is subscribed by citl
gens' for. the purpose.
If this proves to be the attitude of
Rushlight, there .Is certain to be a
' clash later on, for a large body of the
mends or th commission form of gov
ernment believe it should be submitted
to the people not later than next June,
and perhaps before that time, some be
lieving it should be put to vote next
November and go into operation in
January, 1912, If adopted.
Much Work Already Dona,
The committee of IS cltisens which
framed the last proposed charter com
pleted Its work in about six months. It
gathered a great amount of data and
; much of Its work will form the ground
work for the. new commission to be ap
pointed by Mayor Bltnon. With this ad
vantage, It Is thought a commission
charter may be framed In much less
than six months, in ample time for a
vote in November.
Then will arise the question of
vpeciai election, to wnicn it appears
Sir. Rushlight will be opposed, if held
at ne expense of the city. It will be
argued on the other hand that the in
uguratlon of a new form of sovern
. ment, which It la believed the vast
majority of the people favor, ,1s not a
matter which should depend for Its sue
cess or failure upon the contribution
from private means of the $6000 or
9IW9 required for a special election,
dui would he a proper subject of ex
penaiture from the city treasury '
If voted on In November and adopted,
the commission plan would end the term
of the new mayor of Portland In six
montns. ir adopted in June, the new
mayor would last one year. But If not
voted upon until November, 1911, as
suggested ny Kushllght. the new mavn.-
and the old kind of government would
continue In operation for a year and a
half, depriving the next mayor of only
inuuins vi nis term-

in the little Mexican town sines the

large part of the stock In several
curio stores was taken, not by the half
starved rebels, out Dy the crowds of
souvenir seeking Americans who rushed
across th line almost as soon as the
firing ceased. Some of them did not I
stop at taking souvenirs, but took about
all they thought they could get across
he line.
Looting tourists yesterdsy took even j
family photographs from the homes of
poor Mexicans who had fled when the
firing began. Captain F. A. Wilcox,
commanding the United States troops at I
the line, has done all In his power, It In
asserted, to stop the looting, and In
doing so 'has Incurred th enmity of
some tourists. It Is said that a bill
for the looting damage undoubtedly will
be sent to Washington.
The rebels are receiving many recruits.
