ACTION DEMANDED ON HILLSIDE PARKWAY A petition stgned by 28 property owners and addressed to the mayor and park board urges that the board take steps at once either to acquire by con demnation the property necessary for the completion of the. Hillside parkway or officially to release the property from intended acquisition by purchase or condemnation. "This project has been under consid eration for a number of years, H reads the petition, "and the expenditures were authorized by vote of the people 4V6 years ago. The actual cash has been in the city treasury for thia apecifto pur- pose nearly five months. The inaction of the city has been a serious' damage to the district affected, tending to retard its progress and development, with no redress on our part, and justice now demands that we should no longer sub mit, without vigorous protest, to tffe de lays resulting from the policy which lias been pursued."

'Article 8 provides under a distinct me commission, n is easy lor me voter to find ust what the express limita tions upon this body are. ' Preferential System. "We believe that the voter is intensely Interested in' knowing what these limi tations are, and where to find them. We have adopted the preferential system of voting on candidates substantially as' It la in vogua in Spokane, and have also added a preferential system of voting upon measures on the same subject We think both of these systems are essen- tlal safeguards to the rule of the ma- Jorlty. It will prevent the control of the city by a small coherent minority, "Under Article 6, general provisions. will be found sections authorizing the commission to organize any public work In the interest of the taxpayers. These provisions cover in compact form the ideas suggested by different members of the people's charter commission." AGED IN KILLED BY S.P.

Be Filed Is the Question. With what orfielal must the congres sional caridldates from the Third Ore gon district which comprises Multno mah county only, file their nominating petitions? The foregoing question is one that must be determined .within the next few days by the four candidates now in the race for a seat In congress. According to one Interpretation of the primary law, the petition should be filed with the secretary of state. According to the other opinion, the petition shonld be filed with the county clerk of Multno mah county. , A. W. Laf ferty, now representing thla district and Ralph Clyde, Republican candidate for nomination, have filed their petitions with Secretary of State Olcott. Judge C, V. Oantenbeln and George 8. Shepherd, also candidates for nomina tion, filed their petitions with County Clerk Fields. Judge Oantenbeln, how ever, filed a petition with the state of ficial in order to be sure his name goes on the ballot ' The law on this point Is found in sec tion S360 and reads as follows: "All nominating petitions and notices pertaining to state or. district offices to be voted for in more than one county and for Judges of the circuit court nd district attorney, shall be filed In the office of the secretary of . state; for county offices and district offices to be voted for in one county only, shall be filed with the county clerk." Since the . Third Congressional dis trict consists of Multnomah county only, It' is contended by Judge Oantenbeln and Attorney Shepherd that the petition should be filed with County Clerk Fields. Congressman Iaf ferty and Ralph Clyde have not expressed their views on the matter, but filed with the understanding that their petitions should go to the state official. Petitions of each of the four candi dates were filed no later than last Sat urday evening in order to allow them space in the state election pamphlet The opinion -has been , advanced that Clyde and Congressman Laf ferty will have to circulate new petitions to be filed with County Clerk Fields.

Dr. Cllne took rather a pessi mistic .view of modern religions. He declared that Jhe intellectual standard of religion is higher today than it had ever been; that the devotional standard is also on a higher plane, but that from the viewpoint of feeling and emotion religion has lost "greatly in the past half a century.. He said: "We recognize a widespread decline of religious sentiment or readineits of response in the minds of men to a call to the religious life. This Is the result largely of the intervening time be tween the theophany of the Old Testa ment and partly because of a wider knowledge of the laws of creation and the government of the universe, for merly attributed directly to God him self. It Is also caused In part by the general prosperity and security brought to men of our day through Christianity and the freedom of disaster."
