CELEBRATED FIFTY-SIXTH ANN1VFRSARY- Bulk grain elevator bonds and the hip subsidy amendment will be voted en by Portland people, June- The two measures are a part of the great r rievelonment Plan which Portland has tound . vitally necessary to self preservation against the competition oi other norts. , The bulk grain elevator must be built ma that the wheat of the Columbia basin naturally tributary to Portland will be handled through Portland and sot over the mountains to Puget sound. , The farmers of the Inland Empire have determined to abandon sacks and htp wheat in bulk. On their ranches and at shipping points already they are fcuildine- or have built bulking facili ties. Meanwhile Seattle campaigns for their business by boasting of the 600, 000 bushel bulk grain elevator and their Immediate steps to double Its capacity, while 'Astoria also calls at tention to bulk elevator facilities and Plans provided by the port. When nor mal shipping- haibeen restored the teet of preparedness in wheat handling is to come. ' I.- DLreotor Can rill Elevator. ' A few days ago Pendleton celebrated the completion of a 120,000 bushel bulk levator built by 150 wheat growers irbQ are farmers' union members. Some ne asked, "Where will they get the wheat to fill It at one shipping point?" The answer was quickly given, "The crop of the three directors will fill It. ' Six to eight hundred thousand bushels of wheat come to Pendleton from im mediately adjacent country annually." 1 If three directors can JM a 120,000 . bushl bulk elevator -pahl for-by ISO growers, how quickly wHl the 1,000. 000 bushel capacity proposed for Port land be overtaxed, even" with the most rapid turnover of the wheat? Over a hundred bulk elevators will be built in the Interior this year, mostly by grow ers, it has been . estimated, and the growers declare they will not ship their grain to Portland unless Portland pro vides facilities for handling it. Thus Jt can be understood'that the bulk ele vator question Is put squarely up to Portland and is entirely too serious to dodge. - Ship Subsidy Urgent. r The vote on the proposed hip sub tidy amendment is the second step of - Several necessary before the subsidiz ing of private water carriers, which . the amendment provide for, actually an become effective. The first step "Was the submission of the amendment to vote of the people by the late leg islature. After; the amendment is Adopted at the special election, enab ling legislation must bo adopted either y the legislature or through the ini tiative. .After the enabling legislation Ha been made a law, the port commis sion only can put through a definite subsidy plan after having submitted tnat plan to the People. So it la eeen ..that the promptest possible action will not bring the subsidy plan into effect any too soon to serve its purposes of ; attracting mora adequate steamshlD Service to this pert. '"he bulk garln elevator and hlp sjubsidy plana must be the first units f the general port development plan to be campaigned for. ,v StaadaMa Jtelate to Elevator. ifTtie legislature enacted the state rain standards bill, the operatlqn of which will be organised by the public service commission by the time It be comes effective. This measure is im portantly related to the bulk grain ele vator In Portland's plan to handle our bare of the northwest grain crop. The legislature passed the bill giving the Port of Portland commission authority t go directly into the business of buy ing, selling, chartering and operating hips for world trade and steamboats Jor the river. If funds are provided by bonds, a vote of the people must be bad. The measure will not become ef rective in time for any bond, issue to voted on June . The same meas ure empowers the port commission to build coal bunkers, oil, ore and ballast cocks, and another measure gives the oornmisslon authority to extend the fcarbor by dredging Columbia slough, "; f To Equalize Charges. ."While the legislative matters hava been under way, the dock commission has given the government assurance , that charges on government contract commodities handled over the PorU land publie docks will be equalised with any competitive ports. The port commission la preparing to extend a similar assurance In respect to towage and pilotage and it Is proposed to make equalisation of charges apply to private Interests as well as the gov. eminent ao that no one can say it oost more to deal with this port than any other. - lUilroaaa Should XeaA Sand. r -MMWhat should, be the railroads' part Ufa I : Sfc ?: '"r"'f ft 'J 1 ' 1 W N r i I V ;:y P?
