" .;-vi ; r -' V THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL 18 WEDNESDAY, JUNE 7, 1916. 'jp. it W - MOR DENCE CONFI PORTLAND'S NEED ASSERTS A. HOLTZ Former Local Merchant Urges Creation of Payrolls as So lution of Problem, CONDITIONS IN THE EAST CUvaland and Dttroit Shining Spota la Industrial Part of United Stat, Ha flays. "Portland never looked ao well be fore. Everybody and everything ap pear to be alive. While there Is that eal metropolitan atmosphere, there Is one tiling wrong with the town and that In lark of confidence. This lack of confidence seems to extend to all lines of business. More efforts to create payrolls and fewer efforts to pass law curbing Industries would work wonder." This is what A. Holtz, a resident of Portland for 16 years and formerly head of the Holtz department store of tlila city. says. Mr. Holtz is now mer chandlHlng head of the May depart ment store combination with head quarters in Cleveland, Ohio. The May department store combination Is one of the largest department store con cerns In the country, having Its prin cipal stores In Cleveland, Akron, St. Louis and Denver. To maln Two "Weeks. Mr. Holtz lias been away from Port land for two years, but returned here last Thursday. He expects to remain for two weeks. "One Industry which would greatly benefit Portland and which could be established to handle Oregon' jiroducts," Bald Mr. Holtz tins morning, "Is the manufacture of wooden wares. Aplant here could make wooden swings, lawn aettees, wooden wagons for children, doll furniture and all xorts of salable things iOf wood. "At present such wooden wares are being made In Pennsylvania, Maine and Michigan, yet Oregon has timber a tillable for the purpose. I see no reason why such an industry would not 'prove profitable. ."Cleveland and Detroit are two of the shining spots In the country. Many people have an erroneous Idea that-the reason for the prosperity In the east la the manufacture of munitions. The manufacture of munitions. It Is true, has given business confidence, but In Cleveland especially the prosperity Is due to the factories. Factories Are Busy. "Lathes and machines by the thou sands for-use In the making of muni tions are being manufactured. Then there are the automobiles. Cleveland has nine factories and they are work ing 24 hours a day. In Akron Just a few miles from Cleveland, there are 65,000 employed in the tire factories. The prosperity Is reflected in all classes. "In Cleveland alone the prosperity has created 100 millionaires." Mr. Holtz a5so lauds the street car system in Cleveland and says that If street car systems In other cities were handled in the same manner Investors would be safeguarded and the public would btenflt. "There are no Jitneys In Cleveland," lie -said. "With the street car fares at 3 cents, the Jitneys do not seem tm prosper. In this city, as 1 understand It, with the street car company ham pered by the Jitney service, there Is little safeguard for the investors. In Clevelarrd the Investor in the street car stock are assured of a return of 6 per cent. City Controls System. "The city does not own the car sys tem but does control it. The city tractloner Is Heeled by the people. He exrrclses control over the company. 11 can do nothing without his approval. Ife O. K.'s all expenditures, the public gets the service, the investors get their interest and a truly Ideal con dition prevails." Mr. .Holtz was one of the first ex perienced advertising men to be em ployed by any large concern In Port land. He came here in 1899 and is said to be responsible for the large amount of department store advertis ing. Before establishing the Holtz store here he was an executive In the Meier Ac Frank company, f Last Thursday Mr. Holtz made a trip over the Columbia river hlghway and was very much impressed with the eentc beauty.

Postmortem aspects of the late pri mary election were discussed at length and with much strength yesterday aft ernoon before the Women's Political Science club by two Republican- candi dates who met defeat at the polls. John li. Coffey, present county clerk and candidate before the primaries for renomination, did the mosl explaining. He laid his downfall to the machina tions of four men, Klmer L. Amidon, John L. Day, A. A. Bailey and Herman Schneider. Taking each in turn, he quoted liberally from "the records'" to show the reason for their opposition. Befused to Sublet "Fie." Amidon and Day, he said, had de manded of him that he discharge 14 employes of the county clerk's office, that they might name 14 persons to succeed them. When Coffey refused to sanction such a grab of thfe county pa tronage, he said they went forth with knives out, and with what Coffey termed 'lies.' to work his undoing. Bailey, Coffey said, was a discredited I labor man, whose alleged disloyalty to I labor had caused his ostracism. As for Schneider, Coffey said his hostility was engendered when he refused to retain Schneider in the county clerk's office because 1f his financial affairs during his term as deputy under Frank Fields. The other political coroner was Wil son T. Hume, late candidate for a Ju dicial nomination. Questions Fly X.lke Hail. Members of the club fired many em barrassing questions at the speakers, both of whom stood their ground. One woman, asked Coffey If he thought it honest to draw two salaries at once. He denied that he was doing so. Then she asked why taxes were so high, being Inclined to hold him responsible for it. However, despite all the hard words and divergent tendencies of the discus sion, a good time was had by all present.
