yesterday by Alfred I). Cridge an1
Buck Keith. The latter, who was a
market inspector, was removed from
office by the mayor some til's ago.
Keith and Cridge are the only two

Former Governor T. T. Geer Is a
candidate for the Republican nomina
tion for governor. Mr. Geer formally
announced his intention to enter the
lists yesterday and will make the cam
paign on a platform which has for its
main plank the reduction of the costs
of the state government and greater j
economy in its administration.
Mr. Geer further declares for state
wide prohibition, reclamation of arid
lands, a bonding act for the building of
roads, amendment of the tax collection
laws and enlargement of the homestead
exemption law so that every family
may hold Its home secure! no matter
what Its Indebtedness.
Bays Mr. Geer of the high cost of
state administration: "The cost of
maintaining the state government is
increasing at a rate that calls for the
serious consideration of every citizen.
Fundamentally Bpeaking, it! should not
cost any more, per capita, to govern
a million people than a quarter of a
million Indeed, it should 1 cost less
The same officers, with slight excep
tions, could do the work in either case.
The fact is, however, that jthe cost in
taxes Is now practically three times
not merely in the aggregate, but for
each man, woman and child what it
was 15 years ago and nearly twice

work.
Apparently they are well supplied
With ready funds. All manner of pre
cautions are being taken to prevent
an exposure of the Identities of the
parties supplying the money. Tne cir
culators who receive 10 cents for each
three names secured, are paid in cash
by Keith. Cridge acts as notary.
A remark made by Keith .to the
effect that he would be delighted If
the recall "killn commission form of
government" lends color to a report
that the movement hns for one of Its
objects the crippling of the present
system under which the municipal af
fairs of Portland are conducted.
Would Make Clear Field.
S,nce the commission form was
adopted by popular vote, Its enemies,
ar.d those who prospered under the old
cou'ncllmanlc scheme, have been Inde
fatigable In their search for flaws.
"I hope the recall does put the com
mission form out of hjuslnes," declared
Keith, "and," he added later, "when
this recall goes through, the Buck
will be a politician again and believe
me, he likes ' it."
Cridge said he was pledged not to
give out the names of the "com
mittee" but during the course of con
versation said that several Of them
woul.1 make good executives and some
of them "might run for commissioner."
he also Intimated that the motive of
several of the recall committee men
are .tinctured with personal animosity
toward Albee.
"Bdt. what the recall is for pri
marily,' he said, "Is to get Albee and
eminent Is all but universal and the
remedy Is to be found in an energetic
use of the public pruning knife."
Mr. Geer is an Oregonlah by birth.

1861. In his youth he attended Wil
lamette university at Salem and fol
lowing the completion of his education

Hy J. Eilers Given Papers for
New Scheme of Tone
Production.
Hy J. Eilers, of the Eilers Music
house, has lust secured patent papers
No. 1083441 from the United States
patent office for an improved system
of tone production by means of an
auxiliary sound ! board in pianos. Re
gardmg this invention Mr. Eilers said
"It has been "our idea that singing
quality, or duration of tone, has not
been developed to the extent that it
should be in pianos. Starting with
the knowledge that a stretched string
vibrates and creates "sound" gradually
someone must have found that bridges
placed at either end of a stretched
string would produce more sound.

An organization of taxpayers was
effected last night at the Central
library by the adoption of 'the. report
of the executive ( committee appointed
two weeks, ago' to formulate a plan
oi organization.
In its report the executive committee
recommended as follows:
"That the organization be called the
Portland Taxpayers' association; that
it shall be formed for the purpose of
investigating public affairs and more
particularly for the . thorough exam
ination of our system of assessment
and taxation and for the purpose of
correcting excessive expenditures and
abuses growing out "-of the same.
It saall have no further object and
be formed for no other purpose than
taxation ana matters directly or indi
rectly pertaining to assessment and
taxation. It shall not nfflHat- with
any pofltlcal party, remaining free to
act in accordance with Its best pur
pose for economical taxation and re
sults. v
All Taxpayers Eligible.
'Vigilance in considering every pub
lic; expenditure of importance and
realizing that votes, being the effect
ual weapon to procure through legls
lation a remedy for some of the evils
complained of, it becomes necessary
that the association present & united
front and use its numerical strength
to enforce the demands for economy.'
T. ne plan of organization provides
that ttte city be divided Into fourteen
districts. 20 voting precincts to a dis
met. Each district Is to select an
advisory committee of five members,
making the entire advisory committee
to consist of 70 members of which 20
shall constitute a quorum.
All persons paying taxes in Mult
nomah county shall be eligible to mem
Dersblp in the association.
Annual Meeting Sates.
The annual meeting of the assocla
tion is to be held on the first Tuesday
after the first Monday in February of
each year. The officers elected at the
annual meeting shall take office' on
the second Monday In March of each
year.
Further details of organization are
to be left with the advisory board.
The present officers of the associa
tion are: Roger B. Sinnott, president;
L. M. Lepper, vice president; George
W. Gordon, secretary, and Mrs. Jose

Versteeg. M. B. McFaul, F. W. Go Ida pp.
S. L. Brown, Lola Johnson and Kate
Klahn.
President Sinnott explained that the
reason the time Of succession to of
fice was placed in March was to have
the change occur after the state legis
lature had adjourned. One of the func
tions of the organization, he said, was
to watch legislation.
On the suggestion of C. L. Meed it
was voted by the meeting that if any
of the officers of the association be-

the executive commltte the meeting
was declared open for five minute
speeches. George Ray and W. L. Boise
sharply criticised the proposed Install
ation of water meters throughout the

od ,of levying the school tax be
changed so that the responsibility
should be placed on the school board.
He further recommended that taxes
