THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, FRIDAY EVENING, MARCH 28, 1013. Si Sis Jl FOR FlLlflG Mayor Gilbert StilMlaintains Stand That He Will Fight to Finish; Hurd Only Possibil . ;ity as Successor. ' ' (Special to Th Journal.) 8eaa)de, Or., Marob 28.-The petition for tho recall of Mayor Alexander Gil hort wHI be filed with Auditor and Folloa Judg s J, h, i Berry today, Af f I- v davlta have been made by J. E. Oatea, . II. AI. Wheatley, B. W, Otto and f. H. Moore, who circulated the petition, that the signatures, were made in tlielr crea once end that the algnera' are known to them te be legal voter op the precinct . These affidavit will be filed with the petilcv '":y':rt :i ''v ''' " . ; -v The petltioii atatea ' tha( tha mayor naa attempted to ana naa usurped the . powera of the council; that upon occa sions too numerous to mention he haa -raUtatedprocqedlnK8.;,lDt;;ihft,,councU; mat ne naa enierea into aiacuastona and arguments during the meetings without permission of the members, and that lie has attempted to Influence, legislation against the wishes of Its members, and that his ; education, or rather lack of , education, nd ability, totally unfit him to nil the position of mayor. ' , The petition has 119 names, ot which 84 are men. Fifty-seven of this number are registered voters.- The recall law tates that at least 25' per cent of the registered voters, who voted at the last previous Judicial ' election, must sign the recall petition. This leaves seven names In the cleaves there were ex actly. 800 votes cast at the last Judicial election held her ; The election was held at the time the mill was; running, three years ago, and most of the voters have moved away alnce. It was undoubtedly on this score that Mayor Gilbert figured whert he stated, early In the recall campaign, that enough registered voters could not be secured to have the petition against him placed on file. A special meeting of the council will be held within five days to call a spe cial election,-wWch must be held within 28 days. : Mayo; Gilbert will have five daya in which to resign." In the event of his resignation the recall law pro vides that the city charter governs the choice of the next executive, and in this case fh charter provldea that the presi dent of, the council will succeed to the mayor's chair. V. E. Lewis is president at thla time. In case the mayor refuses to resign, his name is entered as a can didate against whoever is nominated as the petitioners' choice. No nominations have been made thus far, and It is probable that none will be made until the final attitude of the mayor is ; known. Tha executive still maintains that m. Will fight to the fin ish, and no one doubts that he will. However, no names other than E. it.

PLAN TO ABOLISH (IATI0N MD STATE wmm iiiniimiN I , How the government of British Co lumbia Is gradually doing away with all taxes, except the income; tax and hat on land.' is shown by 'a letter sent to to County Assescor Reed by John B, McKIUigan, survelor of faxes and in spector of revenue. -. .The letter In part follows: "The 'government did not consider it advisable, at the lust session, to carry out all of the recommendations of the tax commission. They did abolish the revenue or poll tax, and made some amendmenta to the taxation -act a "Two yeara from, how, it is the in tention to abolish personal property tax and readjust the lncom tax, and four yeara irom now, abolish the tax onj improvements. To have carried out all of 'the; recommendations", would have been too much revenue to lose in one year and I recommended the gradual process rather than lose about 8900,000 of revenue in .one year ,! 'v ; "Of course, something may occur to prevent their policy . being carried out, but th minister who introduced the amendments indicated In the legislature the above intention." , , ' DR.

Practical con aervatlon and buslneBalllte cooperation between state and nation la Initiated by Secretary Franklin .K. Lane 01 ine ae partnient of the Interior In a contract approved h him between tha ' United States and the state of Oregon. At a recent conference held la his office, at which were present Secretary Lhe,.1 rector F. H. Newell of the reclamation service. Senator Chamberlain and John H.' Lewis, state engineer ot Oregon, a formal agreement was presented wnicn provldea for' cooperation between the federal government and the state of .Ore gon In the Investigation or irrigation and power projects, The secretary agrees to withdraw , tha.'necessary land and the state engineer agrees to hold the necessary water for Irrigation, of projects under Investigation. Any project or unit may be released for con structlon'by private capital upon' pay ment of the cost of. preparing plans pro vfding" Stidh development wilr be- carried out In harmony with the public plan for the highest utilization of the waters of the state. ' Deschutes Project Concerned. The sum of f 100.000 Is now available, one Iialf of which Is contributed by each party, and will be expended largely on the Investigation of the .800,000 acre Deschutes river project, starting lmme dlately on the Tumalo creek unit of 35 000 acres. The state has appropriated $450,000 for the partial construction of this "unit and Secretary Lane haa agreed to allot an equal amount for construe tlon of tha entire project In cooperation with the state. The Oregon legislature has submitted a constitutional amendment for the vot of the people authorizing the Issuance of bonds for the construction of irriga tlon and power projects. To complete the Deschutes project will require abou $8,000,000.. Secretary Lane stated that he was In sympathy with the entire plan of cooperation and If the state of Oregon would put up 14, 000,000 toward the construction of this project, It was his opinion that an equal amount of money could be allotted from the recla mation fund by that time for thla work In Oregon. The Joint construction of the Tumalo creek unit will serve as an experiment In cooperation and will prove useful In perfecting an organization before- taking up the larger and more important work, Lewis Expresses Gratification. State Engineer Lewis said: "I am much gratified at the result, of our con ferenoe. It promises a new era of prog' ress and development for Oregon. Everybody knows that there Is absolute stagnation today .In Irrigation develop ment by private enterprise. Irrigation securities are under a cloud, the In vestors will have none of them. 8ur irrigable lands cannot be reclaimed ex cept through the Joint efforts of the state and federal government. The ques tion of states' rights has but little sig tiiflcanre compared with the vastly more Important question of states' duties. Cooperation of the national and, state governments in the big field of'tonner vatlon which Oregon offers will give great impetus to every line of business In the state. It will promote what we need above all things, the establishment upon the land of thousand of families in their own homes. From these wll flow Immeasurable benefits to our com merce, to our manufacturing and to the general upbuilding of the whole state. I believe the initiation of this new iollcy la almost as Important to the ncaicii ' dlo-ico n-a Lite LittsHK9 ux ine reclamation act Itself. It will mean the doubling of the reclamation fund and It will bring abaiut a close relationship be tween the state and nation In a work of internal expansion, a recognition of slate duties as well as rights, the lm portance of which cannot be measured at this moment It forestalls forever the proposed repudiation of the obi I (ra tions of the reclamation settlers to the government- which haa been advocated by some western politicians."

Th Wnn.i River Commercial club has asked the railroad commissioners to postpone the electric light case, get for March 31. The directors contend that thn nifina should have at least 80 days In which to prepare their side of the case oppose lng the raising of the rates to the sched ule aiked by the Hydro-Electric com pany. Many of the heavy taxpayers of the city are now arguing in favor of a muni cipal light plant. VYhlle the two elec tric light companies claim to havWan investment of approximately 1450,000 on which they desire earnings, it is claimed that a municipal plant can be installed for 50,000 to do the lighting of the city and entire valley of Hood River.

David Errett, who resigned as pastor of the First Christian church last Sunday, de nies that his resignation was kdue to dessehslon In his church. -He . denies that tha circulation of a petition among his church , members demanding the holding of an election by the church for the purpose of choosing trustees and transacting other business had anything t'do with his resignation. He admits, however, that the primary motive be hind the petition was the securing of a new pastor, "My friends found out who started that petition and they made It so hot for him that he dropped the matter," de clared Mr. Errett. , For the. last three years the church has been divided over Mr. Errett."
