tlons ware among the things advocated
' br Democratic candidates for the leg
islature at the meeting of the Jackson
' dub in the Medical building last night
A good attendance greeted the candl
, dates and these Idcus were received
. with marked approval.
'Two of the speakers thumped the Ini
tiative, and thereby aroused a short dis
cussion that evidenced a division of
opinion.' Ernst Kroner and J. Wood
. 6mlth declared that the Initiative needs
' to be Improved ' and protected ' from
" rraad7whtieTrthPT- sptkw -thought it
; would be well to approach that question
with caution. F. S. Myers, vice presl-1
dent of the club, presided.
"- '"Oppose! to-s41ir petitions.
Mr. Kroner, candidate for representa
tive, said that governments are too
prone to rush into debt when times
are good, and said he Is opposed to bond
Issues except for extraordinary need.
He declared he was one of the first men
In Oregon to advocate the initiative, but
toothing is so good It cannot be over-
- done.
1 am one of those heretics who think
we have too much of the Initiative and
referendum," he said. "I am opposed
to. the peddling of petitions and the In
discriminate proposing of bills on all
aorta of subjects. "
He said he believes Initiative petl
. tlons should be left at the office of the
county Clerk, to be signed by registered
( voters' only In the presence of the clerk
r one of his deputies.
J. Wood Smith, candidate for the
state senate, agreed that the initiative
Is being abused, and should be amended
to protect it from "Jokers." He sug
. gesfed a clause obligating each elector
to jtate that he has read a bill before
be signs a petition for It.
; - - rTors compensation Act.
Floyd Bilyeu asked if the Initiative
would not be killed If voters had to go
. to the court house to sign. Smith said
- be did not think so, because a man will
go 10 miles to sign If he Is really In-
- teres ted, and unless Interested he ought
' not to sign.
Chairman MyerB suggested that
amendment of the initiative should pro
coed slowly, and Bilyeu declared that
" any amendment should come from the
friends of the system.
Smith In his remarks took strong
ground in favor of a workman's compen
satlon act modeled on that of the state
Of Washington. He said he favors three
main trunk roads through the state,
with connecting roads to be built by
' the counties, and he advocated the ln-
- terstate bridge over the Columbia.
: Smith made a spirited attack on the
initiative "blue sky" bill, and accused
Secretary of State Olcott of stealing his
thunder. He said he was the first to
suggest this law for Oregon at the sec
rotary of state's office, an'd Olcott soon
after began boosting the measure.
Declares Bill' Zs Faulty.
The bill proposed is faulty, he says.
because it contains a "Joker" providing
' TorJ25!nrThe "first "year and J20.000
thereafter for a corporation department.
This Is unnecessary, he said, and is to
provide a place for Olcott and his fa
vorltes.
A. F. Flcgel, candidate for representa
tive, warmly favored the passage of
law for workmen's compensation, and
said if the legislature does nothing more
than pass un act similar to the one In
Washington It will have performed a
valuable service to the state. While
- favoring economy, he said he believed
tha the bridge over the Columbia is
needed and Is worth the money. He
promised, if elected, to investigate all
legislation and oppose all unworthy
bills, as he believes the state Is already
suffering from too much law.
Frank Schlegel, candidate for the sen
ate, denounced the law for publication
of delinquent tax lists, and said It
should be repealed. He favjired work-.-Jnen's
compensation and public owner-
ship of utilities that are natural mo.
nopolles, such as telephones and gas. He
denounced log rolling practices and fa
vored consolidation of the city of Port
land and county of Multnomah if this
can be done without harming the inter
ests of either.
Bees Democratic Success.
John B. Ryan, nominee for secretary
of state, told of a tour he has been mak
ing over the state. He said that In
eastern Oregorr and in the Willamette
valley as well there Is practical assur
ance of the success of Woodrow Wilson
and of Harry Lane for United States
senator. He alo stated that with the
Bull Moose movement in full tilt the
chances are good for the -lectlon of ihe
entire Democratic mate ticket. He urgod
Democrats to gt together and pull unit
edly for the success of the whole ticket.
C. H. Llbby reported a poll he made in
precinct 133, which gave 14 fur Wilson,
eight for TaTt and two for Roosevelt.
Hhcrs who spoke were Oglesby Young,
for circuit Judge; J. B. Carr. for county
clerk; Elmer R. Lundberg, Dr. Jack M.
Tates, Benjamin Brick and M. D. Hawes,
candidates for the legislature.

Street Committee
mends That Oregon Has
sam Co. Be Given Work.
By recommending that all remon
strances be overruled and that the con
tract for the paving of Spokane avenue
to the ferry be let to the Oregon Has-
sam company, tne street commmeo ui
the city council yesterday put an end to
a bitter Ilgm Detween rival cuquen ui
property owners affected by the im
provement. James Kertchem led a contingent that
favored Hassam pavement. A. N. Wills
was the leader of another faction that
wanted gravel bltultthlc pavement.
Wilfs charged that Kertchem and others
had used, improper methods In getting
signatures for Hassam. Marsh Frakos,
another advocate of gravel bltulithlc,
charged that R. M. Gatewood had of
fered him a bribe to sign the Hassam
petition.
Mr. Gatewood appeared before the
committee yesterday and emphatically
denied the charge.
The Spokane avenue Improvement was
up before the street committee yester
day for the second time, It having been
referred to the committee by the council
after the rival factions of property own
ers fought a draw in the council several
weeks ago.
The action of the committee yester
day, if confirmed by the council next
Wednesday, means that the street will
be paved with Hassam this fall Instead
of being permitted to remain in an lm
Daisable condition till next spring. The
oontract price of the Improvement
$14,000.

The draw of the old steel bridge Is
In operation again this morning, but
not for the traffic of trains and cars
and wagons that it once carried. In
tearing away the flooring preliminary
to taking down the steel portions of

the engineer of the new bridge that
while the old bridge was compelled to
open on signal, disturbing both lower
