Failure of the voters to approve the
Charter amendment prepared by the city
council to provide means for collection
of delinquent street and sewer assess
ment will mean that the taxpayers who
are pay 1 nit their own anHei8ments must
continue to be taxed for the failure of
la rgre realty syndicates to fay to the
city the Indebtedness accrued- against
the property, according to City Com
missioner A. Ij. Karbur.
Mr, Bnrbur served as city auditor for
eight years and is conversant with 4he
work of collection of bonded Indebted
Dean. He has Issued a statement cover
ing the proposed amendment showing
lust how the city plans to collect money
now due on delinquent assessments.
. 8t Per Cent Bonded
During the past 15 years about $2.'.
600.000 worth ,of street, sewer and side
walk Improvements have been made and
lit least 80 per cent of this amount has
been bended, the owners having availed
themselves of the Bancroft bonding act
Which provides . that the owners shall
pay to the city 10 per cent each year,
together with 6 per cent interest.
-Mr. Barbur cites that when this law
was framed it was not anticipated that
the property owners would default and
no penalty was added ror delinquency
bul in 1913 It had become evident that a
arrJUt manv nronertv owners were not
making their payments according to
agreement. Therefore, a charter amend
ment was presented to the people and
passed providing that payments should
be- made semi-annually, or in other
words, a 20 payment plan, and if the
Instalments became delinquent a !j per
' cent penalty was attached.
"A soon as the property owners have
ftled these bonds." explained Commis-
eloiier Barbur. "with the city of Port
land, agreeing to pay in instalments, the
City Immediately , sells a corresponding
amount of bonds by whieh the city is
obligated every six months to pay 6 per
cent Interest on the bonds and to redeem
the principal in 10 years.
"As a result of the delinquency, the
city has advanced from its general fund
(which is accumulated by tax levy) the
following sums :
1010
1011
11J
1013
1014

Method Termed Unfair I
; "This advance from the general fund
. has been necessary in order to protect
the City's cre'dit anil the property owner
Who has paid his ststfessments promptly
-' has been assessed his proportion of
thia amount, while the property owner
' Who has not paid his assessments has
received the benefit by having the city
i carry his debt. This method is unfair,
and the burden should be placed upon
. those who are responsible for the de-
lluquency.
"The city council proposes a charter
; amendment -which, if passed, will au
. thftrlxe the 'city to sell not to exceed
. $l.o0.Q00 Worth of bonds for the purpose
of purchasing the delinquent property
' and requiring the delinquent to pay the
clty for carrying his property for him.
"The sale of thee bonds will not
Increase the city's debt for the reason
that as soon as the bonds are sold the
City will purchase the delinquent prop-
erty. The amount delinquent on the
bond of the property owner will be
'credited tothe improvement bond sink
ing fund, and the delinquent Interest
Will go tnto the general fund and thus
reduce taxes to that amount and at the
same time reduce the amount of delin
quent Interest advanced by the city.
'"If all the delinquent, property in the
'.city :1a sold the amount of delinquent
Interest would all be refunded to the
- general fund and would release the gen
eral .taxpayers to a great extent.
"The ' redemption of the bonds issued
Under this act will be provided for by
the, fund created by the redemption of
the property by the property owners,
by the sale of the certificate by the
city, or by the sale of the property
after the three year period has expired
and the city., has acquired title to the
property y deed.
"Should I the people fail to adopt the
measure the general taxpayers will be
forced to continue to be burdened with
the delinquency and each year the coun
; . ell will be compelled to make a tax levy
to take car of the delinquent interest
payments.
I leaf ore It Submitted .
"It is to avoid this action on the part
f the council that the proposed meas
ure has been . submitted, the present
council feeling that in the manner the
burden of 'carrying these delinquencies
will fall on the party, who Is delinquent
and not on tho general taxpayers.
"It Is further apparent that it would
be better for the property owners to
have the city hold bis property than to
have It sold to a private Individual. The
amendment, proposed by the city does
not levy any penalty for the first six
months, and only a 5 per cent penalty
for the next six months. If the property
is not redeemed by the end of the first
year, a 10 per cent penalty will be ex-
, wciea. i ne city will hold the property
I. 5 me as the owner redeems
ik the prPerty will be deeded back
without any bonus being required out-
1U" lne penalty fixed and 10
"eresi, which will run
the certificate of sale."

In Spite of Fact That Each Message Was Plainly Addressed
The Journal, the Name Is Crossed Out and Matter Is
Appropriated by The Oregonian.
to
The above faccimiles are reproduced
from yesterday's Journal. They con
stitute the proofs of a deliberate act of
"news piracy" perpetrated by the Ore
gonian. The first exhibit Is the facsimile of
a dispatch pent to The Journal last
Wednesday afternoon by its regular
correspondent at Pendleton. Through
a blunder on the part of a Western
Union messenger, the dispatch was de
livered to the Oregonian instead of to
The Journal. It was promptly appro
priated by the Oregonian, sent to the
copy desk, where the copy reader care
fully struck out every thing that would
in-tray the fact that tho dispatch had
been Intended for The Journal, and the
news was then published in the Thurs
day .morning issue of the Oregonian in
the form of "special dispatches" to that
paper. They are reproduced above.
Original Dispatch Demanded
On the following day, when the theft
v. as discovered. The Journal demanded
of the Western Union that it procure
from the Oregonian the original dis
patch. This was done, and the dispatch
is now in The Journal's possession. The
reproduction above is a photograph of
this original, and It shows how the
Oregonian copy reader crossed out the
words "Journal, Portland, Or., and in
serted after ,the date line the abbrevia
tion "Spl.," Tneaning special dispatch to
the Oregonian.
The transaction was a wilful and de
liberate theft. There was nothing ac
cidental about it. Kacn of the three
sheets of the dispatch was plainly
marked at the top with the word
"Journal" and the message was signed
'Chessman." M. K. Chessman is the
regular correspondent of The Journal at
Pendleton and he is not the correspond
ent of the Oregonian.
The stolen r.ews was published in the
"bulldog" edition of the Oregonian.
which circulates chiefly in Eastern Ore
gon, but three of the. four stories were
subsequently "killed" and did not ap
pear in the city edition. Apparently
this was done in the hope of escaping
detection.
One Story EIndes Censor
Probably the fourth story, the only
one that ran in the city edition, had
gone into an early page and been stere
otyped before the importance of con
cealment was realized.
The stolen dispatches were the prop
erty of The Journal. They were just
as much The Journal's property as a
check or a money order sent in pay
ment of a sub'scrtption to The Journal.
The news which they contained was
gathered by the regular salaried corre
siondent of The Journal, and the tele
graph tolls were charged -to. The Jour
nal. The property right of the addressee
of a telegram is recognized by the
courts of every state in the union. It
is universally recognized by honest
1 newspapers.-
Oregon Methodists are to mobilize
their full Btrength with the national
war work council of the Methodist Kpis
copal church of the United States in a
great demonstration of their loyah co
operation in the national war effort.
Just by way of getting the big patriotic
movement started Dr. W. W. Toungson,
superintendent of the Portland district,
has prejiared a roster of aides and is
Into the fray with all forces.
As regimental commander of the Port
land district. Dr. V. W. Youngson has
announced a big patriotic Methodist
gathering for Sunday afternoon. May
12. at The Auditorium. Details of the
program for the affair, which starts at
4 o'clock, are In hands of committees.
Mnslcal Program Arranged
James A. Bamford will direct the
musical program and will mass all
Portland church choirs for the serv
ice. Including junior choristers. Jasper
D. McFall of Sunnyside. church wilt di
rect the singing and Mrs. Gladys Mor
gan Farmer will be at the big Audi
torium organ. Miss Goldie Peterson
and Miss Harriet Leach will be soloists.
Service flags from all the churches
will adorn the gallery rails and soldier
members of Methodist churches sta
tioned at Vancouver or in Portland, as
well as Grand Army veterans, will be
honored guests. '
Bishop Matthew F. Hughes wired Sat
urday from Pittsburg, Pa., that he will
return to Portland in time for the big
meeting and will speak.
All of which will introduce to Port
land the Methodist Episcopal war ac
tivity that Is to extend its benefits to
every army camp In the United States
and to every French in France, as well,
as to each church maintained by the
denomination. Oregon Methodists have
been asked to do their part in raising
a $1,000,000 fund to carry on the church's
work and that Oregon will meet the re
quest is apparent.
To Contribute Eonrls
On a basis of 350 working days a year,
every good Methodist is expected to
centribute the equal of one day's wages
to the cause of war work. There are
600 Methodists, estimated. In Oregon.
These facts and the fact that each
church membership is expected to con
tribute the equal of 10 per cent of the
cash salary of its pastor are the only
figures that will give an idea of Ore
gon's quota of the fund to be raised.
The big feature of th campaign under
the auspices of the national war work
council of the church, however, will be
the public meeting next Sunday after
noon. All evening church services will
be withdrawn and energies concentrated
upon the afternoon meeting. It will un
doubtedly be, says Superintendent
loungson. the largest single gathering
of Methodists ever held in Oregon.
Activities Are Named
Among the activities which will call
for money from the proposed fund are :
To aid the Y. M. C. A. in keeping the
five mile war zone around military
camps dry and 'white' : to give $350,000
for the support of specific war zone pas
tors, for salaries, social welfare equip
ment, etc.. and to give $50,000 for the
work of womei'.s' home missionary so
cieties ; to give $1500 for the support of
every M. E. chaplain in the service; to
build orphanages in France. Italv and
Russia and to secure a place for the
care of wounded soldiers in Rome.
Every church in Oregon will take part
in the big task and meetings similar to
that to be'held in Portland are expect
ed for each of the several districts in
the state. The work of the Portland dis
trict has been thorouehlv
under Dr. Youngson. with each pastor in
the district as a colonel and two lay
men rrom eacn congregation as captains.

pared to start active work as soon as

Proposal Wat Defeated
When the proposal to build a new

was made it was defeated te nporarlly.
and the defeat was chiefly ascribed
to the fact that those opposed to the .
plan were Intensely active, though of
small number, while the larger number

to impress upon the legislature, and ,
upon those in charge of the business of i
our county, the possibilities, the Import- ,
ance, and the necessity for this school. .
and for a hospital and the necessary
buildings associated with a medical
school are known to all of us." I
The negotiations for the beautiful site ;
on Marquam hill began in May, 1913,'
when Dr. Mackenzie, cnlled to the at-1
tentlon of the railroad company, the j
fact that the medical s-hool of the Uni- ,
versity of Oregon wasj being conducted :
In an Inefficient and, old building at .

Wrhen the site was given by the rail
road, a hospital and medical center
that should give Portland preeminence
