HUM
E FOR STAND
OH TENURE BILL
StatementsMade in Address Last
' Monday Are Branded Untrue
by. Speaker Saturday Night
Forcefully, deliberately, and abso
lutely unchallenged. Stat Senator
Gu Moser and bl vigilance com'
mlttee descended upon the, address
of State ' Senator "Wilson T.. Hume,
itehvered before 909 teachers In Un
43 In high school - auditorium last
4onda? night. He flayed It and It
ajuthor, and denied without reserva
tion or quibble every statement
rjade by the chief opponent of the
' lucent teachers tenure legislation.
He "told some J 00 people , who had
lathered to hear the denial to the Hume
t barges his version of the . tenure law
fentroversy, and he and his colleagues
hdertooJc to vindicate themselves be
iir an Impartial audience as "men who
lave the courage of their convictions
;T-id who are not afraid to stand up for
Kbit they , believe to be right" This
4 the opinion of the speakers of the
Presided over by Judge Guy C. II.
vforlisa, who Incidentally is chairman of
he 'appeal commission under the old
fnure lew, the meeting started peace-
t)Iy and ended the same. way. Senator
Moser held the center of the stave, and
blanking him on each side sat a deputa
tion of senators and representatives who
Jhought as he did. Senators Isaac
Staples and W. W. Banks and Repre
rentatives Herbert Gordon, K. K. Kubll,
'Oiarlea C Hlndman and Barge E.
onard were there and all Bpoke 'un
challenged, in spite of repeated invita
tions to the audience by ' Chairman Cor
iXse. Senator Hume did not attend, nor
' did any of his colleagues. At least, not
itttively.
Substantially, Senator Moser and his
faoctatea branded as false every state
ment made by Hume last Monday night,
j "barged that in spite of his answer to
taenator Moser that the tenure brawl
hould not be made a political issue,
. enator Hume had already done so, and
without credit to himself, and told the
ssembled audience that a tenure law
f the sort passed by the legislature was
eeessary i there was to be efficiency
In the schools and proper satisfaction
to the taxpayers for the money they are
paying each year to support Portland's
public school system.
I never saw. or spoke to A. L. Mills,
either face to face or by telephone, from
one end of the legislature to the other,"
declared Moser, answering Hr-e's
charges that the tenure fight for a new
law was directed by Portland corporate
Interests. "It's true that I worked to
pass the law, it's true that we tried to
get outside senators and representatives
to favor a bill supported by a majority
ot the Multnomah delegation, but we did
not log roll and . we did . not . work in
the dark, as the Hume camp did.
DUKESS IS DfcJTIED
"If the teachers paid their lobbyists,
as they admit they did, something over
$4500, f 2500 of which went to Tommy
Neuhausen, then they didn't get their
money's worth, shouted Moser. "We
lobbied yea, we worked on the" public
service commission, to get them - to re
lease two senators who were held pledged
to-oppose the bill, and we got them on
our side. -As chairman 'Of ; the Mult
nomah delegation In the senate, I had
charge ; of the Staples bill, and the
names of Senators , Banks and Farrell
were stricken from the adverse report,
which they had signed conditionally, by
their own consent and without secrecy,
l.had the bill and that report had not
become a . public document. We bad
perfect aecees te. it."
Senator. Moser read a letter from
President Ritner, now la Pendlet6n,
which branded .as' absolutely- false
Hume'84 charges that he, Ritner, had
held a club over the heads of various
senators, in order to get them to vote
for the tenure bill, i He also charged
that Hume's efforts in behalf ..of the
teachers was actuated ty a desire . to
be elected circuit Judg. Moser further
charged that the committee meeting,
where Hume said he had been left out
In the cold because he remained in
Salem while the committee met in Port
land, prepared amendments, composing
by himself' a committee of one.
SCHOOLS POB CHILDBtX-
Representative Gordon declared "--t
not only did the Kubli-Gordon bill not
emanate from Portland corporate inter
ests, but that heKubll and Senator and
Mrs. Staples had discussed the bill dur
ing an automobile ride to Portland fol
lowing the defeat of the Staples birt
and that the new legislation which suc
ceeded In passage was the result of that
Informal discussion. Ha suggested,
other speakers concurring, that Portland
teachers should catch the spirit of the
new tenure law and should work for,,
better results and closer harmony In
the Portland school system, and should
not shake the educational s fabric by
petty bickering . and organized on
slaughts on the school board and others
who had the interests of the school chil
dren at heart. ?- M . ""

"Never before have I been fright
ened at the thought of being inter
viewed, and do you know why? It's
because Portland's musical standards
are so high and I know personally
so many really profound students of
music who are Portland people,"
said 'Miss Helen Stover, - brilliant
young American exponent of the art
of song, ,who arrived in Portland
Saturday morning.
Miss Stover, who will be soloist at. the
concert of the Portland Symphony or
chestra Wednesday evening, is the house
guest of Mr. and Mrs. Edgar B. Piper.
770 Marshall street, whose daughter.
Miss Constance Piper, she numbers
among her close friends in New Tork.
"Not . because I am in Portland nor
because I am talking' for a Portland
newspaper am I saying this, but it is an
actual fact that after a New Tork ap
pearance, when I go In quest of honest,
intelligent criticism, the three persons
to whom I go first are Mrs.' Thomas
Carries Burke, Miss Constance' Piper and
Mr. Howard Barlow every one of whom
hails from Portland. Now do you won4
der that- I am Just a wee bit frightened
at the thought of talking and singing
for Portland people?, ,
PATS TRIBUTE ; . ; j : ,
"Wblle I am still talking of Portland
musicians. I want to pay tribute to the
memory of one of America's really great
composers, and one whose work is now
known and used by all the best musi
cians in New Tork Tom Dobsoiw Tea,
I sing his songs, too, but my memory ot
bis own inimitable Interpretations of
his peculiarly delightful things is so
vivid that it seems almost a sacrilege to
sing them. " However, his . Tasmin'
will be found on my program Wednesday-evening,
also another ' song by a
Portland composer whom I do not know
Mrs. Katherine Glenn her number be
ing Twilight. " ... j ; jr j
In answer to the query on what has
been the "high light" in her professional
career. Miss Stover's face lighted up and
she answered instantly: ;
"My appearance as soloist with the
Metropolitan Opera orchestra during the
winter, at the Hippodrome. The Hippo
drome, as you may know, seats 000
people, and when I looked out of my

fult to such an extent as to warrant
recall this would be accomplished much
more efficiently and expeditiously."
City Attorney . Grant does J not think
much of the . appeal plan, - however,
pointing out . that, there is no right of
appeal from the decision of the com
mission except- as to questions ot 'law
involved in the original ; hearing. He
contends, therefore, . that an appeal
would not go ' to the question- of rates
and would not accomplish what its ad
vocates anticipate. Should the case be
opened for ; rehearing, ' . however any
new matter 'could - be brought into the
record , pertinent , to the issue. ; Mr. GranM
says that be transmitted the "notifica
tion of the-commission's-findings' to the
mayor and -city council, : but has -not
been informed : whether - -the city au
thorities contemplate a petition for a
rehearing. --y,- ; . :
In the meantime the Public Service
Recall Committee, Inc. is grinding
away at its plans to put ; Fred W.
Williams, the hold-over commissioner,
on the , recall gridiron on June 7. the
date of the special election, i and - as
soon as the constitutional six months
limitation has elapsed on July 2, to
start petitions out after Commissioners
Buchtel and Corey. A- meeting of the
executive committee of the recall or

window the morning . of - my concert.
I beheld New Tork encased in ice. One
of the most terrible blizzards of the
winter was raging. Long before night
traffic was stopped. I said to myself as
I left for the auditorium, 'there will be
just three persons there, and I know who
they will "be, "but when' I stepped out on
the stage,, faced 4500 people. The en
tire house ,had been . sold out, but I
knew, what those 4500 people had gone
through'to'get there afca I felt an"ln
splratiort to do my best. It was a
great- moment for me ne I shall never

- "I lhave always , sung aaid Miss
Stover in answer to the question of how
long she had been singing. "Tea, that is
almost literally- true. 2, -sang before 1
could , talk ; that is, I sang tunes. My
family tells me they would str d me up
on the table and there I would enter
tain my relatives with -real tunes I had
heard and, words of my own making.
At the age of 4 I made my debut as a
public singer. My song was "The Or
gan Grinder's Serenade." It was a very
sad song. The little girl In it died, and
I could hardly keep from crying myself.
To this day I have never forgiven the
man who sat on the front row - and
smiled and chuckled through it all.
Since I have been grown up. he told me
he was smiling his admiration, but I
think I'm still offended." -
Miss Stover Is a typical American
girl, athletic lithe and graceful and re
freshingly unaffd. Her favorite di
version is swimming. She loves to
dance, and she -walks all her busy life

eald U( ,"l am afraid yoa will have to
ask the president about that." . -
The vice-president - momentarily for
got that about 10 minutes before- the
photographers .Were admitted . in , the
presence of the cabinet, where the cam
eras took away many records of the
vice-president's placid i countenance at
the end of the table opposite the presi
dent, that Is. between the secretary of
commerce and the secretary of labor.
While a very little was said about the
part the vice president played in the
cabinet meeting, it was later officially
announced that his advice had been
sought in exactly the same way as if he
were the head of a government depart
ment. Vice President Sherman sat with
the : Taft cabinet for a while, but the
practice was soon discontinued because
of the relation of the vice president to
the ser ate. over which he sits as a pre
siding officer and in which body he is
pnvuegea 10 case a voie in a tie.
There always . has been considerable
islative branches of the government, and
It is not altogether certain that the vice
president will find it to hie liking : to
be a part of the administrative machinery
of the government en the one hand and
presiding officer and member of the
legislative branch of the government on
the other. '
The theory back of the admission of
the vice president to the cabinet meeting
la that he shall be well informed in case
of an emergency and be ready to. take
over" Ihe" reKs of government. The op
portunity,; to. get such a. training, how
ever,' ie not to be found in cabinet meet
ings where the discussion - centers pri
marily lrt business of : an administrative
nature Instead of general policies. In
deed, it is suggested that Mr. Coolldge
may feel obliged to withdraw from such
discussions as- relate to 'legislation on
which he might be compelled to cast a
deciding vote. -. - i-j,,". ;-
