FOR ALLEGED PAY
GRAB ATTEMPT
'Teachers want to absorb all the
Mmlnu from Anv uuree. They will
want the interest on 'the bonds we
have next. They go around taking
tip every bit of money we have. I
am -willing they should, have good
salaries, out i aon t ociujvo ney
have any right trying to grab any
more money."
Such wii the opinion expressed by di
rector Oeora-e M. Orton at the meeting
of the eohool dlrectom Thursday when
an appeal waa presented by the teachers
throuirh Superintendent D. A. Orout, for
the $17,000 received from tuition to be
applied toward further increasing their
salaries In addition to the approximate
M&S.000 available for this purpose under
the 2 mill levy.
"I am perfectly willing they shall have
the 2 mill levy, but every dollar that we
get out of tuition goes back into the
added expense of caring for the addi
tion a l pupils. Why should we aiva It to
themT There Is no surplus money over
and above what It costs (or extra teach-
ra.'?

1, 82 per cent, $65.OO0.
This Is an Increase. . of f 174,000 over
and above the $321,000 given the teach
ers last year In the form of a bonus, for

Strong indorsement of Governor

Indianapolis, Ind., July 12. J. C. Bul
ger, President Colora-o State Federa
tion of Labor. Ienver, Colo. Dear Sir
and Brother: Replying o your inquiry
of July 8, I can trirtnruliy say that
Governor Cox has proved himself as a
true and steadfast friend of labor.
While governor of Ohio he signed a
mine-run law which brought this funda
mental reform to 50,000 miners of Ohio,
for which they had been struggling for
30 years. He signed this bill in spite
of tremendous opposition and at the
risk of being defeated for reelection.
He advocated and secured the pas
sage of a workmen's compensation law
which the American Federation of Labor
has adopted as the standard workmen's
compensation law. He secured the pas
Sage of child labor legislation, a moth
ers' pension act. a laciory inaptcuuu
4aw. a regulation of the hours Of
women workers and a school code law,
all of which .are models and appreci
ated bv the i working people. He Is an
I ardent advocate of woman suffrage and
has alwavs persistently refused to send
troops into strike territory, even though
asked to do so by the authorities. Dur
ing his term as governor, a period, cov
ering six years, there have been very
Intense and bitter strikes Id Ohio, but
at no time ;has any soldier ever been
ordered Into strike territory or ordered
to fire upon worklngmen who were
striking for their rights.

Sleeps Soundly as

Cash From Trousers
A Proclamation :
President Wilson said while we were in the throes of
the great war that there was such a thing as being too
proud to fight;
I bore this statement' in mipd when I answered several
of rriy customers yesterday who asked my salesmen and
myself why it was that our goods were not "on sale" as
they were in other stores, I said :
' '
'7 Feel Too Proud to Put pn a Sale'9
"First: Because my goods are marked right the lowest.
This saves the bad feeling that often arises through cus
tomers paying two prices; that is, by one man paying a big
price at 'No Sale' quotation to make up the loss on the
other fellow who buys at 'On Sale' quotation.
"Second : I am proud to know that I can run my business
flourishingly at the beginning of the fall season without
resorting to a 'Clearance Sale.' I am proud to know that
I have the confidence of the people of Portland, who show
by their patronage that they believe in me and my upstairs
system of trading."
I am one of the pioneers of the upstairs
Clothing business. I started on the proverbial
shoestring nearly eleven years, ago, with a
determination to give the people of Portland
a square deal.
My success is proven by the fact that though
I started business in a small back room in the
'Oregonian building I now need more space,
even though I occupy about 70 by 50 feet on
the second 'floor, having a stock room and
' tailor shop on the third floor, with my pri
vate stairway on the ground floor.
A WORD ON CLOTHING PRICES: The downward
trend will be slow, owing tefmany prevailing conditions.
When prices drop my upstairs prices will immediately re
veal it.
