Woodrow Wllaoa. The Late City Election. PortlafiS, Dec. 19. To the Editor of The Journal: I Would not wish to say anything further relating to th Jour nal's statement that the result of th recent city election indicated a conspir acy on the part of those who, In largest numbers, attended the polls, were it not for the fact that they were merely doing the logical thing that voters are supposed to do. A number of men can, in .a legisla ture, conspire to catch a time when a large number of those who are opposed to their scheme Is absent and put their proposition through, but such a charge can not well be laid at the feet of those who go to the polls and regularly and lawfully discharge their duty as clti sens. - - Certainly all the blame for the result of the recent election. If blame is due anywhere; rests with those who. being friends of th pending amendments, failed to go. to the polls and thereby showed themselves unappreclatlve not only of the commissioners but of the commission - form of , government, pro vided the latter was at issue, which cannot well be claimed. In other words, if the friends of the proposed amendments did not think enough of their importance- to give them their support, why should not their ab stention from voting be a fair basis for the charge that they conspired to give them a black yT Frequently during the progress of the campaign the Journal gave the timely advice that everybody should go to the polls and vote no matter how but It was "the duty of everybody to vote," general apathy should be strangled. That was good advice, but do you think that those who most generally followed it should for that reason be accused of being conspirators against gopd government? My point is that ifanybody should be blamed, it Is those who failed to do their duty and not those who unques tionably did, and that If a "menace" Is to be seen anywhere In the matter. It Is composed of those who, if you are right In your conclusion as to that phase of the matter, stayed away from the polls and failed to perform their duty, as you exhorted them to do. Now, honor bright, don't you believe that all your lampooning should be di rected against those whom you believe were largely In favor of the amendments but, after all, did not think enough of them to go to the polls, and not against those who loyally discharged their obli gations as citizens? It appears to me to be rather a serious matter to designate a majority of the people who go to the polls as conspira tors against good government and as constituting a "menace." We. have elim inated the political boss and trusted the people with these matters that con cern them most, and it Is not conceiv able that they will conspire against their best Interests. Really, who Is capable of deciding when an Intelligent vote has been cast? If Smith, who is a professional thug, casts his vote for Wilson or Roosevelt for president, and Jones, who is a college professor, casts his vote the same way, who has cast the most intelligent vote. Smith or Jones? Of course there are times when the people vote In the most provoking man ner. In fact, I can recall a primary election or two in which they appeared to show a most reckless waywardness an to what was best for the common wealth, but as they were the masters. their verdict was final. The beauty of the Oregon system Is that the people themselves have the right to decide their own public matters and when they have done that we should not be their ac cusers should we? T. T. GEERr (The day after the special election, The Journal said editorially: "Once more the stay-at-home can take stock of his handiwork. He is responsible for the wreck In yesterday s election. He stayed away from the polls, and left the voting to George. He entrusted govern ment to the other fellow, and the good measures on the ballot were all beaten." On the following day, the Journal, after explaining how only 18 out of 227 registered electors voted In one precinct and giving similar figures In other pre cincts, said editorially: ' "It was the stay-at-homes that beat the municipal court amendment. It was apathy that caused the wreck of Tues day v " . ' In the editorial the day after election. The Journal made the statement that if 60 per cent of the stay-at-homes had gone to the polls aha voted, all the good measures would, have carried. Governor Geer tries to put the paper in a false position. It never claimed that all who opposed the measures were conspiring against commission governments Hun dredar of iopie -opposed: the-theasures from honest oonvlctions. But Is is still true and will remain tru that various antl-commlsslon government leaders opposed all the measures. The fact that they did so and that The Journal says they did so, does not make all who voted against 'the measures conspira tors and does not, as Mr. Geer assumes, make The Journal say all were con spirators.) , Champion Chamberlain's Cause. Portland, Dec. 19. To the Editor of The Journal It furnishes a sad chapter In the history of Portland to witness the weird spectacle at the city hall in regard to Russell Chamberlain. Mr. Chamberlain as a veteran in the Civil war rind as an old employe of the city, is deserving of loyal support from every grateful and loyal cltisen of thij community. The history of the past barely knows an Instance where an oid warrior, a brave soldier and a faithful citizen became a thing to bo sloughed off and cast away. Gratitude and Jus tice are still the great virtues of our people, hence many are Interested in the welfare of Russell Chamberlain. Old age, and especially in a veteran must be honored and supported.- A peo ple unappreclatlve of the services of its forefathers Is an ungrateful genera tlon, to be despised, and double dishonor shall be meted out to it. Loyalty to and honor for our veter ans is a duty that the keen minded per ceive at all times. FATHER GREGORY. State's Duty to Unemployed. Portland, Dec. 20. To the Editor of The Journal Some of the arguments made at Salem against Governor West's plan for relief of the unemployed do not do credit to progressive Oregon. Treasurer Kay said he thought a sub scription list should be taken up; that it was not a proper subject for state aid. This statement Is amazing, having re gard to Mr. Kay's high position in the affairs of the state. The state owes the same duty to the unemployed as it does to the weak, the poor and the de fective. All are product of its socisl and Industrial system. As well suggest passing the hat to take care of the In sane and blind! Such talk is not only out of harmony with the spirit of the times and unintelligent; more, it Is cruel and shows an utter lack of sym pathy with the down side of life. We could understand government 60 years ago refusing to. recognize any "duty to those starving for want of work. But In this day of workmen's compensation, widows' pensions, minimum wage and old age benefits, Mr. Kay's is a lone voice in high places. CLAUDE M'COLLOCH.

To the Kdltor of The Journal Not long ago I gained some valuable information from a man who had spent some time In New Zea land, relative to the manner in Which the land question is handled in that colony and which to me was decidedly Instructive. All taxes "rates" as they are called .re there assessed on land according to its value, exclusive of Im provements. This taxable valuation Is fixed for three-year periods. If, during that time, land may be required for public purposes, the board of publlo works In empowered to condemn it, the purchase price being 33 1-3 per cent ad vance on the assessed valuation, said assessed valuation automatically fixing the purchase price. Thus, if land Is as sessed at, say, $300 an acre, the price MEEi VST 1 - J- T' RUSTPROOF 14 off Sale Umbrellas All the latest styles in black and colored. Good, dependable goos at cut prices.
