RIGHTS IS READY
Abuses, of Leeway Allowed . For
Hire Cars and Taxicabs Prompts
Proposed'Change in City Laws.
Amendment to the ordinance gov
erning: the parking: of taxicabs and
for hire cars in the congested busi
ness district, to better regulate that
traffic and put a stop to the abuse
of prlvilagea already granted the
public conveyances by the city, will
be ready for ; passage by' the city
council next Wednesday, city of
ficials stated yesterday.
In the congested: district at present
many blocks are crowded alon(j the curb
lines from street to street by taxicabs
and for hire cars, making it impossible
for shoppers to drive up to the store
entrances, according to Autobus Inspec
tor .Ray Gill, and the downtown mer
chants have asked -relief from that con
dition. -
Ilt'IES ARE lGXOREI i
; Taxicab' companies have been licensed
; io stand one machine in front of each
hotel and have been granted similar
concessions elsewhere ; for hire autos
have also been given certain space to
park while waiting for patrons. In both
instances the city's concessions have
been greatly abused to the exclusion of
private machines, along the curb.
Taxicabs have been lining ujtv along
the curb awaiting their turn to take
the licensed stand, thus blocking the
curb lines. For hire car drivers,) taking
advantage of the privilege aocorded
every citiaen to park In front of ia store
for 30 minutes, have been: scattering ma
chines throughout, the congested district.
.These drivers will remove their IJor hire
signs until a fare is secured, then replace
the sign and drive away.
CHANGES URGED
Captain Lewis of the police traffic
squad has urged the amended ordinance
Hardings Good Companions
t at at at at at at .at at at at
Next First Lady Gracious
to better regulate the public
. drivers.
Under the revised ordinance
vehicle
f -
a taxi-
cab -company will be allowed td stand
only one taxicab in front of the I hotels,
and for hire cars will be .allowed to
stand only at the- place designated by
the license when" issued by Inspector
Gill. Should a taxicab or for hlire vehi
cle be found parking elsewhere titan the
space designated by the license that
license will be- revoked, whether a for
hire sign is displayed or not. All pub
lic vehicles, however, will be allowed
to stand before a store for 30 minutes
'while a' fare is shopping inside the
building. i
Senator Warren G. Harding, as
president of the United States, will
come as near doing the right thing,
the average American thing, in his
official and private life in the White
House, as is in his power to do.
Meanwhile, every glory that attends
the . exalted position, every function
available to,, the position, every novelty
that the leader of the nation's affairs
is capable of experiencing, will be in
dulged in by the president and his clever
and capable wife.
These are outstanding features of the
impressions of the new executive fam
ily gleaned by Mrs. C. S. Jackson during
her voyage on the same ship that car
ried the Harding party to the Panama
canal sons. .
OJT BOAT WITH HARDIXGS
i Mrs. Jackson, accompanied by Mrs.
E. C. Ransom of Portland and Mrs.
Margaret Co wen of Washington, D. C,
sailed from New Orleans to the zone
aboard the United Fruit company
steamer Parismina on November 18.
The same craft carried .the -Harding
party of many members and a limited
number of other voyageurs. The trip
was a delight from the hour of the
Harding . farewell greeting at the
wharves of New Orleans until Mrs.
Jackson and her friends left the Hard
ing group at the canal cone for the re
turn voyage to New Orleans aboard
the same company s steamer Pastpres.
The Hardings. remained longer in the
canal zone, - V
Especially was Mrs. Jackson impressed
by Mrs. Harding. The future first lady
of the land Is a gracious, ' hospitable
woman of much charm and - typically
American, as is her husband, according
to Mrs. Jackson's estimate. .
MEETS MRS. HARDI3G
In a companlonway the first- day out
Mrs. ' Jackson and Mrs. Harding - met.
The latter was the first to speak and
her greeting was a cordial bit of fellow
ship from one American to another,
X.ater a formal introduction gave the
travelers many pleasant moments . to-1
gether. Incidentally, the formal pre
sentation was made by Miles McCahil
a secret service operative and friend of
both the Hardings and the Jacksons.
McCahil formerly lived iii . Portland.
"I like people and I want to be
friends with : everybody in 'America,"
Mrs. Harding told Mrs. Jackson in one
of their chats aboard the Parismina.
"I; felt the moment' I had met Mrs.
Harding that the ceremony of the in
augural' ball would be resumed with
the advent of the Hardings in the White
House. , - j
HELPED HUSBA5D
"The Hardings, like all average
American people, have long had the
popular conception of official life at
Washington. They have for years pic
tured life in the White House, just as
every other person who reads has done.
Now that they are actually to. occupy
that high rank in American affairs they
will indulge In every delight, every cere
mony,.' every comfort and every luxury
the position offers. When the president
retires be and Mrs, Harding may well
say, I feel sure, that they have seen
the presidency and its life from begin
ning to end." ;i .
Mrs. Jackson is confident that Sena
tor Harding will agree with her ap
praisal that much of his success is due
to his wife's Influence. That he has
been a splendid success there Is none to
deny, and a measure of the responsi
bility for his advances goes' to Mrs.
Harding, who is characterized by Mrs.
Jackson as a high strung, clever woman.
The senator himself is a four-square
citizen to whom Mrs. Jackson feels she
can pay no greater tribute than to say
that he, will do as nearly right as the
nation's chief as he knows how.
WAS GALA AFFAIR
The entire voyage, from Its inception
at New Orleans, until its culmination,
was a pleasure and a delights Mrs:
Jackson reports. The farewell to the
Harding party .was a gala affair of
music and cheering. The ship was re
galed In fine shape for the reception
of the next president. Everything
aboard had been renovated, every tim
ber had been repainted and every piece
of metal had been polished. It is 'said
$10,000 -was spent on new silver service
and $7000 on new linen.
In that setting was served, on the
final evening of the -voyage, ; the cap
tain's dinner. At the dinner, as through
out the voyage, the senator- was the
suave, cultured, average American he
has been pictured. He is a good mixer,
a BDlendid convernationnHut and an
agreeable playfellow, " ever willing to
Join in the sport of the moment with
an abandon that seemed only to be
dampened by the constant presence of
a battery of motion . picture cameras
that spoiled his game of shuffle-board
repeatedly,
GIVES WORD PICTrBE
The senator, for the edification of
those who must know what he .looks
like, is an image of the composite of
George L. Baker and the late Edward
Holman, Mrs, Jackson declares. If one
may Imagine the blended faces of these
two Portland citizens the semi-Latin
countenance of the mayor and the fine,
, elderly features of Holman, one has a
perfect likeness of the next president.
IMPRESSED BT CANAL
Other pleasant companions on the
voyage were Mr. and Mrs. F. E. -Scobey
and Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Creagen, all
of Brownsville, Texas, who were hosts
to the Hardinqs nrlor to ' the canal trip.
"I .was proud to be an American when
I saw the Panama canal," Mrs. Jackson
says. "That is one of the grandest bits
of beauty and magnificence an American
may see and the sight of the great un
dertaking and a consideration of the
magnitude of ' America's task in build
ing and maintaining the great water
way Is thrilling beyond the power of
ords to express."
SANITARY
SURVEY
OF RESTAURANTS
BEING CONSIDERED
Campaign Launched With Ulti
mate Aim of Improving Stand
ards of Certain Eating Houses.
All Mail Orders Carefully Filled Same Day
s as Received
Chief Lang of the sanitary - de
partment of the city health bureau
is completing a survey of, Portland's
restaurants for the purpose of prop-:
erly classifying 'them as to the
cleanliness and general sanitary con
ditions of each place. Following the
sanitary department's complete
check of the city's" eating places
the public will be advised of the
filthiness or cleanliness of each. ?
As a basis of standards the sanitary
department classifies a 90-points" restau
rant as excellent, 82 hi to 0 good. 77
to 82 V4 fair, 1iy poor, and all restau
rants ranking under 70 points will be
slated for the revocation of their licenses
by the city council, Lang stated.
MANY "POOR" OSES
The Inspection has developed Very few
90-points restaurants, only a nominal
number of the next class, many of only
fair condition and a vast number' of the
poor classification, indicating decidedly
unclean and Insanitary conditions.
though still within the specifications of
the health bureau. . '
Commissioner of Public Utilities Alann
has announced that he will at once look
Into the matter of compelling every res
taurant owner to, keep posted In plain
view of all patrons a report from the
health department on the condition of
the kitchen and premises of the place.
PUBLIC SHOULD K3TOW
"The public is entitled to know what j
sort or place it is patronizing ana me
cleanliness or filthiness of the kitchen
in which their food Is prepared," Mann
said.
Heretofore the sanitary department has
issued a certificate to those restaurants
and cafes ranking excellent In general
sanitary conditions, and theSe have been
proudly displayed by the cafe- men.
Hereafter it is the intention of the sani
tary department to compel the restau
rant men holding certificates of which
they are not overly proud to display
their certificates.
