RENEW PROTEST
AGAINST HOSPITAL
indications point to a stormy ses
sion! of the city council Wednesday,
when it Is understood the protestants
against the proposed new hospital on
theT grounds of the Portland sani
tarium. East Sixtieth arid Belmont
street, will reappear after several
months of silence, -
At this session1- resolution' will be
presented by Commissioner Barbur, pro
viding for', the 'granting of a permit for
the proponed building.
PLANS CHANGED
The present sanitarium buildings were
erected more than 15 years ago, and
about a year ago plans were made for a
new, modern fireproof structure- At that
time the opposition was strong, but the
city council eventually granted the per
mit. ,
Because' of financial conditions the
hospital association was unable to pro
ceed. Now the plans for the building
have been' modified and the proposed
location has been slightly changed. This
gives . opportunityvfor the opponents to
reopen their protests,
COST IlEDCCED :
One of their main objections, however,
was that the old structures would remain
on the lands owned by the association.
.In the new resolution there is 4 clause
which provides that all of the old struc
tures must be demolished..
The original plan provided for a struc
ture that would cost,apjproximately $200,
000. The new plans, it iis understood, are
modified "so that the building proposed
would not reach this figure.
JUST LIKE GETTIXO MONEY
FROM HOME, DOiCTOR OPINES
Think' of a man and a city official
on whom a salary of . $350 . a months
makes so little impression that he for
gets to draw a month's i warrant for al
most one year!
Impossible,-! say you? Yet there's
proof. Dr. Cieorge Farrish, city health
Officer, was Notified by the city audi
tor's office that a month's warrant drawn
in his favor had been lying in that of
fice for many months, and they wanted
to know whether it was of any intarest
to him. I-arrish finally found time, to
drop in at the auditor's office and found
that he had forgotten to draw his salary
of $350 for last July. He'll salt this
down' for. pocket money.

a riot in which the striking shipyard
workers participated -at Osaka, a num
ber of police were slashed and badly cut
with knives and a large number of the
rioters were injured, according to the
Japanese language newspaper Jiji.
The cause of the riot is said to have
been the rejection by' the Osaka employ

which included collective bargaining and
other conventional labor demands. Much
unrest is reported among the other work

LAW IS HELD TO
BE OUT OF DATE
That the law. governing school
elections, particularly in a district
the size of the Portland district. Is
archaic, losely drawn and leaves the
door open to Illegality and fraud,1 is
the contention of many who for the
first time came to a realization of
the existing condition at the election
of Saturday last. ; - , l ':
Registration of electors is not required
under the law. Anybody who alleges
that he is qualified by age, citizenship
and residence can. in practice, vote with
out, let or hindrance and irrespective of
his real qualifications. ; . ;
USE "HOSOB SYSTEM , "
In other words, school elections, in
Portland, where the vast majority of the
voters are unknown to election officials,
are conducted on the "honor system"
where election officials generally take
the. unsupported and unchecked state
ment of the applicant for a ballot, and
where there is nothing, in practice at
least, which would prevent any voter so.
inclined from casting as many ballots as
there are election precincts. '
It is not contended that this Illegality
has been, or was at Saturday's election,
practised, -while on the other hand the
difference in the vote for directors and
for and against the special three-mill
levy measure indicates that voters prfetty
fairly observed the property qualification
limitation and cast their ballots accord
ing to the intent of the law.
FAYOB AMENDMENTS
School Clerk Tt. H. Thomas. Deputy
Attorney Sam Pierce, who is the legal
adviser of the school district, ' Director
George B. Thomas, and many, others, in
fact, join in the ccitention that the
school election law, so far as the Port
land district ia concerned, at least,
should be so amended .that registration
would be required for ' one thing, and
the .- property. - qualificaUon would be
stricken from the law as welL :.
The ejection of directors, and- the con
sideration of financing measures for the
Portland district, constitute problems of
administration and of the expenditure of
money, as vital to the public and finan
cial interest of the .district as those
raised in the municipal, the county or
the state elections. . r r
BARS THEOW5.DOWS
: Because of this rt iscontended that
the same check and care ought to be ob
served in the conduct of the school elec
tion as in any of the others.
It is also insisted that the property requirement-
Is outgrown relic of the
days of the little red school house and
that there is no logical reason why i a
citizen, who. though not a taxpayer," yet
has sufficient interest as . parent ' to
vote for directors, should be debarred
from voting on matters relating to taxa
tion when no such bar is raised against
him in any : other branch of the state
government. '--:?.";. -'V
This phase of the situation prevail
ing at the election of Saturday last is
touched upon in a -statement issued by
the. four newly elected ' directors. In
which it is stated in effect that ; "the
bars against ail legal restrictions de
vised for securing ' a:- strict legitimate
vote' .were , thrown down on ' Saturday.
LAW NOT CHANGED . '
.. George B. Thomas, in explaining this
statement. says that ' the district- attor
ney's office promulgated a I different
rule governing the qualifications of
voters for Saturday last, when" it was
held that registration was not required,
than' that observed io prior elections,
where registration was : held j to be a
test of qualification. .--';-' I
Deputy District Attorney Pierce V con
tends, however, that the opinion of the
law stated as governing Saturday's
election was the same as that an
nounced at ail prior school elecUons of
which nhe has remembrance, s
' The statement issued by the four di
rectors is as follows :
The result of the school, election held
last Saturday is not a "coalition" vic
tory nor a personal victory of either
or all' of the candidates. It is a vic
tory of the great majority of the peo
ple in this city who believe in main
taining our free public school system
on a- strictly non-sectarian basis as
against a certain minority who by their
thorough organization eternally persist
in meddling with our educational insti
tutions. By throwing down the bars against
all legal restrictions devised for secur
ing a strict i legitimate vote,- by pre
venting tlje school- election from being
held on the same day when the spe
cial election . was held but a few days
before, and " by securing the full and
unqualified support of the three princi
pal daily papers and removing all
opposition to their candidates .from
practically all other papers, that par
ticular minority secured unusual ad
vantages over tftose who supported our
American or non-sectarian free school
system. ;
And yet so great was the ' general
support of ': our ticket by the people
that when the count began to come in
it was & most decisive victory from
the first tq the last by two to one.
As to our poaltlon in this matter, we
consider this action on the part of the
great J majority of the voters a most
positive mandate from them --to us to
advance and defend our free school sys
tem, and we shall keep the faith with
them. . We shall not disappoint them,
nor H11 we be unjust or unfair to the
minority whose educational methods and
claims were repudiated by the voters.
We shall certainly make every effort
to conduct all of the affairs of our
school district -on a businesslike . and
economical basis, and. above all, we
shall not forget our duty to the tax
payers in ail things that may come up
for our consideration. That is all we
have to say, GEORGE B. THOMAS.
