IwARKET BILL ONLY K IN OREGON FIGHT ON LEAGUE Judge Stapleton Tells Realtors Proposed Commission Strong Enough to Stop Townleyism. In a 10-mInute address, before the Portland Realty board at V. weekly luncheon tn the Portland hotel Fri day noon. Judge O. W. 8tapltn gae It as his opinion tha-. the. only lonf ible way to ttop th? progress of the Non-partisan (league in this Kiaii is to pus the bill crrs&t.rR a marketing ebmrRiaaion and providing for cooperative, jnarketing. Among the fawues m the coming elec tion which Jut Stapleton pointed out aa being ef vital importance to the realty man were, the bill limiting the legal rate of Interest Iri Oregon to 4 and 6 per cent, which he eaid would be ruinous to the . atkte ; single Ux. whlch "aimed at confiscation of real property," and the Nln-partlsan .league. Jn the CQurie of his. talk Judge HU pleton said the Non-partisan league haa ZS organiser Known to le actively at work In the stats,- besides scores of unorganized ' tropagiindlsts . who travel about the country ! the guise of sew ing machine agents. Insurance agents and similar callings BUSINESS ME HATED "The Non-partlean league has driven the people from North Dakota," he eaid. "and it will take half . a .century to pay the present bonded indebtedness of the state, provided the people tax themselves to the very limit The .Non partisan league is actuated by a spirit of hatred toward bankers, merchants and business men, and It has made North Dakota an - impossible place In which to live. They dominated the Re publican primaries , In Wisconsin , and Minnesota; Montana Republicans and Democrats alike are scared to the point of fusion to defeat the menace. The Non-partisans dictated the nomination of Hart In Washington, so that they might defeat him with their own Farmer-Labor candidate, and they open ly flaunt tholr organization In that state. They are . ready to spring their organization in this state just after the November elections. California is the one state that hag them beaten. They can make no progress there.' because the farmer, laborer and business man have gotten 'together. X, am afraid it is too late to do anything in Oregon now, but If anything at all will stop them it is the cooperative marketing bill. If this bill becomes a law this fa, It will help check .tha menace of this destructive organization." George T. Moore, one of the most prominent and' active?. -members of the board, was unanimously elected second vice president to succeed W. R. Kaser, who resigned because of having entered another line of business. EXCLUSIVE LISTING URGED Harry (. Beckwlth spoke, urging 'all renltors to adopt the exclusive listing contract. 114 said such a move on the part of the members of ' the board would result In greater service to the public and more satisfactory conditions for he realtor.

City Which Would Force Owners of Old Buildings to Make Changes All buildings in the city, irrespec tive of when built, wilt be required to come under the provisions of the new fire marshal's ordinance which comes up for the consideration of j tlte city council at a special meet ing called Monday afternoon. The ordinance was drawn as a meas ure to prevent repetition of a disaster similar to the Kllbn Court hotel fire last summer, in which four lives were lost.. The Elton Court hotel at Bleventh and Yamhill streets was one of the older buildings, and because of Its con struction prior to enactment of the building code setting forth the fire pre vention regulations, was exempted. AGE EXE3IPTI0X ENDS The . new ordinance provides that hotels, lodging houses and apartments, irrespective of when built, must enclose elevator shafts and machinery located in the basement or on the first floor and comply with all the fire protection measures that exist for new buildings. The ordinance was revised last week by the committee to exempt from com pliance all buildings where the sleeping rooms on the second floor and the floors above are directly connected with a fire escape. The ordinance as It now stands pro vides that elevator shafts and machinery must be enclosed as required in the building code for new buildings. Stairwells, shafts and stairways also must be enclosed. If impractical to close the stairway, the ordinance requires construction of i hood at each floor, so designed aa to prevent spread of fire from one floor to another. ! OB SIX MOATHS Should it be determined that neither enclosure or hooding is practical the ordi nance then requires installing of auto matic sprinkling systems for the base ment, the public corridors and the rooms leading directly into corridors. Light and wells must have their sides enclosed to prevent passage of smoke from one floor to another. Laundry chutes and other openings, if not en closed like elevator shafts, must be lined inside with metal lath and plaster or metal. Doorways leading to elevators or stairs must be equipped with self closing de vices which wHl latch tout not iock uie doors. These doors must be kept closed but not locked,, x The ordinance provides that H shall be enforced by the fire marshal and the building inspector, from whom there will be appeal to the council. A maximum fine of $500 or a maximum Jail sentence of six months is provided for. COST WILL BE GEKAT The building- inspector and fire mar shal, in their report on the ordinance, forecast that the changes necessitated by the ordinance will cost the building owners, large sums, in some cases running as high as $20,000. Some of the hotelmen oppose the ordi nance on the ground that it provides alterations that are unnecessary. The hotel men are not opposed to the en closing of the elevator shafts and stair ways, but other provisions of the ordi nancA are objected to. Th ordinance will affect a majority of the hotels and lodging houses of the city, and a small proportion of the apart ment houses, because so many of the rbuildings were constructed prior to enactment of the present building coae.

In explanation , Assessor Cal kins says: "The increase in timber as sessments is not so great as appears on the surface. Several years ago timber was reduced 20 per cent ; or, to make It plain, wte lowered to 80c on the dollar. We are adding; 40 per cent to this re duced assessment, which brings the new valuation to $1.12, instead of $1. or In crease of 12 per cent over the former 'as sessment. "This Increase in the assessment places timber in Its proper relation to farm property. The present price of lumber justifies a substantial increase, and I feel that the rate that has been added is very reasonable."
