ARE TO BE ELECTED;
TAX LEW IS ASKED
Two Vacancies to Be Filled on
Board of Directors; Levy of
Three Mills Will Come Up.
Voters of Portland school district
No. 1 will, on Saturday. June 19.

same time say whether the district
shall levy a special 3-miU tax for
the construction of additional school
buildings. The amount that would
be raised by the levy would be
80,000. The polls will open at 12
o'clock noon, and close at 8 o'clock
in the evening;.
There will be two vacancies on the
school board to be filled, as the terms
of Directors K. A. Sommer and O. M.
Plummer will expire by limitation. Dr.
Sommer will not be a candidate for re
election. Plummer has announced his
candidacy for reelection.
In addition to Plummer there are three
four candidates. Mrs. Francis Sherman,
a teacher of long experience; W. F.
Woodard of Woodard. Clarke & Co. ;
J. N. rearcy, lawyer, and Frank I
Khuli. manager of the Globe Grain &
Milling- company.
FIIIENDS URGE PIKE ,
: Friends of Nelson G. Pike, formerly
a member of the board of directors,
have been wring him to become a can
didate at the coming- election, but it is
understood that he does ont desire to do
so. Pike is now in the East and it. will
not be known definitely what he Intends
to do until his return.
All .candidates for director win be r
quired to have their ' candidacies filed
with School Clerk IC IL Thomas by June
In order to be given a place on the bal
lot, according- to Thomas. There is no
statutory limitation upon the date of
filing-, but Thomas has fixed 'June 8. as
the latest day upon which he can re
ceive filings and have the ballots printed
in time for the election. Any candidate
who failed to file' by that date will not
be precluded from entering, the contest,
however, but would have to rely upon
his name being- written in on the ballot
by his supporters.
TAX LETT ASKED
The school board' has decided to ask
the voters of the district for a special
levy of S mills, which would provide
$950,000, In roond numbers, for use In
the completion of school buildings now
under way and the erection of new
ones. ' '
It Is desired ' by the board to con
struct a new high school building. In
the James Johns section. The present
high school building would then be
used for elementary school purposes,
according to the plans of the board.
It Is planned to purchase a new Bite
Tor the high school building:, should the
voters authorise the . levy.
In addition to the James Johns high
school building It Is also desired to
complete the buildings now under con
struction In the Rose City " Park and
era woon sections. rne urst units or
these buildings have been -completed, or
are under course of completion, in spite
of which, however, it is now necessary
to use portable school buildings.
ELECTION ANGLE PECULIAR
The coming election will be peculiar
in that, while any elector qualified to
vote at a general electidn can cast his
ballot for the election of a director,
taxpayers only will be permitted, under
the law, to vote for or against the
approval of the special school levy.
It Is pointed out by School Clerk
Thomas that the funds coming to the
district from the 2-mill tax of the
elementary, school . fund tax act Just
enacted by' the-' voters of the state are
provided for the "support"- of the ele
mentary schools, and cannot be used

People riding on the wave of prosperity should beware
lest ebbing tides leave them high and dry. '
The only advantage of getting- more money is to be able
to save some of the increase. 1 ; '
I have found during all these years that it pays to give

EtECTRO PAINLESS DENTISTS
In the Two-Story Buildinsr, Corner of Sixth and Washington Streets, Portland, Or.
True) to form the 1921 session' of
the Oregon legislature probably will
consist of 89 men and one .woman,
Mrs. William is. Kinney t Astoria
bavins been nominated as one of
the two representatives from Clat
sop county. JaIso, true to form,
Democratic candidates are more con
spicuous by reason of their scarcity
than by their numbers on the list of
caqdldates who seek election in No
vember. James H. Hazlett is a
Democratic candidate- for the senate
in Hood River and Wasco, running;
against Benator Nlckelsen. who
seeks reelection. Walter Pierce is
seeking reelection in Union, and is
opposed by Bruce Dennis. I. ; D.
Brown seeks election to "the house
from Polk county; IieslIe W. Murray
of Portland from Multnomah coun
ty; R. E. Braidbury in the Twenty
first district ; Manuel Kriedly aad J.
.TV ZJeuallen in TJmatiHa; S. la. Bur
naugh is a candidate for reelection
in Union and Wallowa ; Albert R.
Hunter in Union and Frank C Mc
Colloch seeks election i in Baker.
The state senate of 1921 will be com
posed of veteran legislators with the ex
ception of Charles Hall of Marshfield,
Thomas F. Ryan of Oregon City, Isaac
staples or Multnoman and Charles T.
Ellis of Burns. Of these Mr. Hall has
seen, much service in matters concerning
tne public ; ana, Kyan was deputy state
treasurer for two terms, so both of them
know more or less about the legislative
ropes. i . . . : -
. There are 14 holdover senators. Iaeh
mund, Ija Follette, Porter, Jones, Bell,
Thomas, Patterson, Vinton, QUI, Banks,
Norblad, Bberhard, Rttner and Strayer.
Ryan seeks the short term to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of Senator
Walter rxmmiek of Clackamas, and will
serve during the next session only with
out reelection, i '
Six senators are seeking reelection-
Eddy, J. C. Smith, Farrell, Moser, Jsick
elsen e.nd Pierce.
Two members j of the 11 house Hare
of Washington and Edwards of ' Tilla
mook -seek election to the senate.
Three nominees have seen prior service
in the Oregon! legislature Wilson T.
Hume and George W. Joseph of Port
land and Jay Upton of Prineville.
In the house, however, the veterans in
the service will be , very much In the
minority. Seventeen out of the total
membership of 60 seek reelection after
service in the; 1919 session Martin,
Looney, Chllds, J Bean, Sheldon, Gordon,
Hosford, KublL McFarland, Richards,
Hurd, BurdlekJ Woodson, . Burnaugh,
Hunter, Gallagher and Wright.
Five 'candidates have served prior
terms in the - house er senate, or both
Davy, Kay, Pierce, Carter and Lee. , All
the rest are new at the game, y which
gives, if the candidates who seek: reelec
tion are all successful, a membership of
22 who have had previous legislative ex
perience .against ,2$ who have not.
The membership of the 1921 legislature,
both senate and house, probably will be

1921 LEGISLATURE
TO REAPPORTION
ITS MEMBERSHIP
Portland Would Hav 17 Senators
; 'Instead of Five if Census Fig
ures Ruled Legislative' Body.
The 1921' session of the ' legisla
ture, among its various other chores
of more or less magnitude, is charged"
by the constitution with the task-of
reapportioning its "own membership.
Whether,; it will' tackle the Job and
whether, i( It does, the various con
flicting. interests and local desires
that would naturally cluster about
such an undertaking will permit re
adjustment, wfll be interesting, feat
ures of the session, . "
As the apportionment and the ratio
now stand in the law the legislature is
all out . of plumb. The session, of 1903
fixed the present representative districts
and the membership of each, since which
time no, change has been made except
to allocate the new counties of Hood
River, Deschutes and Jefferson as they
were created by tacking them here and
there upon existing districts.
The session of 1907 drew the present
boundaries of the senatorial districts
and the representatives and at the same
time - fixed the apportioning ratio by
which the representation of the various
senatorial and representative districts
should be determined. wi" " v .
, The state constitution provides that
the senate shall never exceed 80 or the
house 60 members. It also provides that
an apportionment of the - senators and
representatives shall be made by the leg-.
isiature "at tne session next following
an enumeration of -the inhabitants- by
the United States or this state." Since
the statute providing machinery for tak
ing the. state census was repealed by the
1915 legislature, the recent federal cen
sus is the . only measurement by which
the legislature may' go.
WOULD BOOST PORTLAND
As the law now reads, each sena
torial district -is entitled to one senator
for each 15,163 or fraction in excess of
one half, of "white population" within
its boundaries, while each representative
district is entitled to one representative
ror each 604 i or major fraction of the
white population of the district.
' These ratios bring some startling re
sults when reduced to terms of senators
and representatives. , 5 .
The city of Portland alone, on - the
basis ' of - the recent federal census ap
portionment of 258,228 population would,
under the ratios of the 1907 law, be en
titled to 17 senators and 42 representa
tives, as against the 5 senators and 42
representative! before.
The inequalities of the present ratios
are still more apparent when it is found
that, on ' the basis of the 1910 federal
census. Multnomah county is entitled to
15 senators and 87 representatives. '
Taking the state as a whole,- and on
the basis of the 1910 census, the reduc
tion of the two ratios into terms of sen
ators and representatives would result in
a senate of 44 neither and a house of
representatives of ll members.
1056 JOB AHEAD
However, it is nt the divergence be
tween the, population' and the statutory
apportionment . ratios that makes the
Question of a . legislative reapportion
ment of so much current interest as it is
the growth of population in various por
tions of the stat$. The Multnomah
county senatorial!; and representative
districts for instance have undoubtedly
shown a greater percentage increase in
population during the past 10 years than
the general average : throughout the
state. The same t ling is probably true
of the Clatsop cotinty districts in the
past few ' years aiSd probably in other
districts here and ihere, as at Bend.
It will be an easy task for the lerl
tature, if it undertakes it, to establish
the apportionment ratios, for that would
merely mean the division of the total
white population of the state, as shown
by the census report, by 30 to establish
the senate ratio and by 60 to establish
the house ratio.
Those ratios once established, how
ever. It would be an entirely different
matter to make them fit Into existing
district boundary llnea It will he a
Job to make the mathematical experts of
the session burn the midnight: oil over,
to say nothing of the political perspira
tion it is. likely to cause.
Prineville will soon have relief from
the gasoline shortage. A shipment of
10,000 gallons will arrive Juno 1.
