and th police relief funds for the police,
and fir departments, which th leiwni
' believe are right In principle, but could
ot fully approve In the form presented
Th league alao declared th tendency
to us th Initiative and referendum for
matter of general legislation, delating
this confuses th voters and makes an
unwieldy ballot. Th league' officers
are F. W. Mulkey, president; Henry
Ladd Corhett, vice president, and K J
Ooldsmlth, secretary. Th suggestions
of th league a to pending measures
are as follows:
Bridge Disfavored.
108. Tea.
101. No.
This Is a proposed amendment to the
city charter for the erection of a bridge
over th wiuamette nver rrom wood
ward and Grand avenues on th east
to Meade and Water streets on the west
and to au thorite th Issusnce of f 1,400,
00 of city bonds therefor.
: The bonded Indebtedness of the city
f Portland Is now:
Outstanding t D.7K.R00
Additional authorised 6,100.000
Total 114.81 6,600
In addition the Port of Portland has
11,140,000 outstanding and authorised.
School district No. l has 8.000 out
standing and authorised and of Improve'
nent bonds there are now outstanding
ver $1,000,000.
In th matter of Incurring Indebted
Bess th city has been "going some."
Ia addition there are several meas
ures now proposed that will call for th
Issuance of more city bonds. In late
years the city has rebuilt and enlarged
th Burnslde bridge and at the south
nd of the city the Madison street
bridge; Is now building the Broadway
bridge and In addition to these the new
railroad bridge, centrally located, will
soon b completed and ready for general
city traffic.
In th Judgment of the league this is
a good place to call a halt In our some
what rapid career of exhausting the
city's credit; a city to be truly prosper
ous must, like any Individual, retain
at all times ample, borrowing capacity
to jnect absolutely necessary expendi
tures. Voters are advised to vote "No."
102 Tes.
J 101. No.
This is a special levy of net to ex
ceed 1 mill for street cleaning purposes. I
The street cleaning work of the city
has In late years grown far more rapidly
than funds have been provided for that
purpose end the general fund U unable
to meet the deficiency. In 1101 th
street cleaning cot In round numbers
1144.000. This year It will cost 1300.000
and If th city Is to he kept In a sani
tary condition and present a decent ap
pearance, this levy must be voted.
Voters are advleed to vote "Yca.-
wo Becommendatloa.
104. Yea
105. No.
This Is an act fr a pension and relief
fund for disabled and aged city firemen
and carries with II a levy of 1 -10 of a
mill of taxation, the object being, with
this and contributions from the fire
men's wages and from other sources, to
build up a pension fund of tSOO.000 ap
plicable to th relief of aged and dis
abled firemen. Some of th provisions
of this set may need revising later on,
but on th whole 11 Is a good nwyisure.
The fir department has now about ISO
en engaged In an occupation that
rapidly ages men and subjects them to
the daily risk of Injury.
No recommendation
City Attorney's Salary.
lfl Yes.
107. No.
This Is an act to fix the salary of th
city attorney at 3on per month, etc..
This character of Ifglslatlon ought to
be only within the province of the conn
cil, but as a step towards the better
payment of a much underpaid public of
ficial, the league recommends Its pas
sage.
Voters are advised to vote "Tes."
Passion for Police.
10. Tea.
10. No.
This Is s measure similar to thst pro
posed for the firemen snd also comes
with a 1-20 mtU tax and Is governed by
the same considerations. The 200 or
more men subjected to the dally strain
and risk of city police work are entitled
to some protection against disablement
and old age.
No recommendation.
Municipal Polloe Bnlldlng.
110. Yes.
111. No.
This Is an act for the construction of
a new municipal police court and head
quarters building and for 'a bond Issue
of 1200.000 therefor.
While the league objects strongly to
the Issuance of city bonds additional to
those already now authorised. It, never
theless. recognlxes the gravity of the
police building situation.
For years the police building or the
city of Portland has been a standing
dlsgTace to the city and It prevents or
derly municipal court administration,
or the orderly and efficient handling of
poltce business. A new building Is a ne
cessity and cannot b erected and fitted
out too soon, and this can only be done
by a bond Issue In this act provided for.
The best interests of the city require
that the expenditure should be made at
once.
Voters are advised to vote "Yes."
inaccessible to Masses.
112. Tes.
113. No.
This Is an act for the purchase by
the city as a park of Council Crest, and
for a bond issue of 1260.000 therefor.
It is quite certain that Council Crest
will remain a pleasure resort and It is
practically inaccessible to the great
mass of people except by the cars of
the railway company.
It Is also a fact that fully $500,000
of the present park bond Issue of $1,-
000,000 which, has already been author
ised, is not yet expended, and if the
park commission deems It wise to pur
chase Council Crest,- they have
means at their disposal to do It
' Voters ar advfsed to vote "No."
. Wis- for Streets.
This Is an act to add earth and other
fills In streets to th words "Bridge"
and "Bridge," as used In Section 114 of
th charter and so to authorise th solid
filling of streets under that section
across gulches and ravines. Up to
moderate height, solid fills ar cheaper
than bridges and at any practical height
they aro much more desirable; so It la
apparent that this amendment I a wis
on.
Voters ar advised to vote "Tes."
Psbllo Aadrtortam.
116. Tea. .
117. No.
This In an act authorising th con
struct Inn of a public auditorium and th
Issuance of f 100,000 In bonds therefor.
No recommendation.'
Garbage OOUeetioa System Pa to red.
1 1 Ys.
1 1 J. No.
This is an act for the establishment
of n municipal garbage collection sys
tem and for a bond Issue of 176.000
to provide the necessary plant for Its
operation, consisting of wagons, trucks
the, passengers to their seating capacity and
a rixea standing capacity. '
While this league la In full sympathy
with any proper effort to oompel the
streetcar companies to run enouah cars
to reasonably supply tho demand. It ia
not prepared to Indorse any such draatlo
measure as this on la. It la unfair
both tothe street railway and to the
public Doing their very best. It would
be Impossible for th company In a
raDldlv Alt unit I HIT eltv tnrtimnA la
to be at all times and plaoea prepared

Its part to allow paasangora upon an
emergency to rid standing, up would al
most precipitate a riot Tha publlo

refused passage on a oar that waa pro

Votera ar advised to vote "No."
Qaa XJoease a&4 Pees.
1J. Yes.
11. Nd.
This Is an act to levy a license tax of
I per cent on the gross receipts of tho
gas company and la unreasonable. This
company Is now paying taxes upon Its
personal property. IU real ostat and
Its franchises, on th same basis as that
paid by other property holdera. If It is

Let Others Buy
Cheap Pianos
Don't buy a piano because you are offered a $100
or $150 reduction on its price. Regard that piano
with suspicion. No dealer sells pianos at less than
they are worth, and such reduction can only be made
where prices have been arranged to permit juggling.
Get all you can, irrespective of the real values, is the
rule of the price-cutter. The piano offered as "Was
$550, now $115," or "Was $600, now $98," is merely
a, bait to catch the unwary and unsuspecting buyer.
AU pianos in our store are marked in plain figures,
and the prices are based on cost of production, allow
ing a reasonable margin for legitimate profit. These
prices are the lowest at which pianos of equal quality
can possibly be sold, and are, save for the addition of
freights, identically the same as asked in the retail de
partments of their manufacturers in New York, Chi
cago or Boston.
One piano only you expect to buy. Therefore use
care in its selection and know that it is worth the price
asked We are qonfident that you can buy more satis
factorily, more economically and get more real piano
quality at the Allen stores than elsewhere in the city
or on the coast. Easy payments, of course.
borne by the cltlsens upon rstes to be
charged.
Notwithstanding the reluctance of the
league to Increase the bonded Indebted'
ness of the city, this seems a wise meas
ure In this case.
Both for economic, sanitary and police
reasons, the city should handle and con
trol the disposition of garbage and th
only way to do it Is to do It. Borrow
the money, buy the plant and operate It
as economically as possible under wise
and proper regulations.
Voters are advised to vote "Tea.
City Engineer's Salary.
110. Yes.
121. No.
This Is sn act allowing the council
to fix the salary of the city engineer at
not less than 13000 per annum, In the
hope that the council would, If author
ised, pay a decent salary to any first
class engineer fit to hold such an Im
portant position.
Voters are advised to vote "Tea.1
Pension for Street Cleaners.
112. Yes.
123. No.
This is an act to provide a pension
and relief fund for th operatives of
the street cleaning department and for
a 1-20 mill tax therefor. It Is liberally
drawn and under it an employe In the
street cleaning department, commencing
work at the age of 11, might be retired
at half pay at 41 or 44 years or age.
None of the considerations that favor
similar measures for firemen and police
applies to this act. It Is In no respect
an extra hazardous or wearing occupa
tion, but is suoh light and easy work
that elderly workmen are very often
selected for It. In some respects this
pension act. In compelling the dismissal
or rejection of elderly men, would very
likely cause more suffering than It
would relieve.
Voters are advised to Tote "No."
Sewer 0mprUtlom.
124. Yes.
128. No.
This Is an net requiring two or more
sets of plans and .specifications of dif
ferent kinds of sewer pipes and esti
mates, etc. Accordingly, whenever a
new sewer Is contemplated. It Increases
very greatly the work of the city engi
neer and Is entirely unnecessary. It
would for wisdom be somewhat on a
parity with a regulation requiring the
street department, whenever It wanted
a new horse, to also call for, examine
and price a new cow not that It wanted
the cow or would buy It, bOt almply as a
protection against an exorbitant charge
for the horse.
Voters are advised to vote "No."
Measure Called Unfair.
124. Yes.
127. No.
This la an act to put In operation In
this city the rule that prevails In Paris
and perhaps In some other European
cities, that streetcars shall only carry

Pilocarpine, although not a coloring

Borax, because of Its well-defined

This Is an act to constitute a oitv com
mission of three to practically do th

der the Malarkey bill, now held un un
der the referendum. Is authorised to do.
This league disapproves of It for sev
eral reasons: First, it creates three
commissioners at a salary of $6000 each,
with no limitation on the exnenaea that
can be Incurred by them, and with a
mandatory provision that the council
must provide by taxation for euch ex
penses. Second, the law la Involved,
and, in our opinion, unworkable, and
not unlikely unconstitutional, as it at
tempts to control state functions and
state authorities by the act of trfe muni
cipality. Third, -those who have riven

have had large experience In other states

posed to city commissions; particularly

to nave one strong capable state com

ii is quite pronaDie the Malarkey bill
will be approved by the people, and, if

law and the expenditures made by the

of the case, It is unwise legislation.

This is an act forbidding the city to

Although this act may have to be modi
fied hereafter, it Is not an unwise pre
caution to pass It now.
Voters are advised to vote "Yes."
Xegnlatlaff Billboards.
138. Yes.
139. No.
This is an act to regulate billboards
and a similar ordinance should have
been passed long ago by the common
council, but It has persistently refused
to act in 'the matter. This, therefore,
presents a very proper subject for tho
Initiative to act upon.
The abatement of the billboard nui
sance is. a necessity and the defacement
of the city streets should be at least
minimized as far as possible.

This la an act changing , the proceed

selection of the best bidder to the coun
cil. It divides up the responsibility
for the letting of contracts and puts
power largely in the hands of the coun
cil. There Is nothing In thla ordinance that
looks to any betterment of present con
ditions and there is much In it that ap
parently aids the corrupt and political
contractor.
Voters are advised to vote "No."

142. Yes.

This referendum raises the question
whether or not the ordinance passed by
the council, vacating 100 feet . of Ore
gon street and 100 feet of Adams street
to allow for the construction of piers
for the highway passenger deck of the
new railway bridge shall be allowed to
stand.
It presents a very mixed question.
While the vacation Is ostensibly to al
low for the construction of the city
part of the new railway bridge, the
fact remains that the railroad company
is already amply compensated for this
part oz us new onage in me onage
franchise and Its conditions. Besides,
this. It Is unreasonable that the whole
area or tna io ieet or ta.cn street
should be vacated for the purpose of
providing a foundation place for two
or three small piers. , The common
council would have been much more
mindful of the city Interests If it had
granted, a franchise for life of the
bridge to the railroad company to con
struct and maintain tnese piers. reserv
