HAZARD IN HOTELS
aaaV
An ordinance providing for the elimi
nation of fire hazards from lodging
houses and hotels will be drafted im
mediately and presented to the council,
according to Fire Marshal Grenfell. The
new measure will amend existing ordi
nances, making effective safety provis
ions set aside by a recent decision of
Municipal Judge Rosaman.
The present ordinance Requires that
hotels and lodging houses shall be
equipped either with a fire escape for
every apartment or sleeping room, a
sprinkling system in all corridors and
the basement to have all stairways and
elevator shafts Inclosed. Rossman ruled
that if a fire escape can be reached from
a hallway without passing through a
room direct connection is afforded with
any of the rooms on the floor of the
building.
Commissioner Barbur and Building
Inspector PlUmmer are investigating
need . of safety regulations provided in
the proposed new ordinance. Both re
served their opinions as to the necessity
for' the amendments asked by Grenfell.
MOVIE CENSORSHIP HEARING
POSTPONED UNTIL Jl'ET 87
The motion picture censorship ordi
nance presented to the city council sev
eral months ago by the Church federa
tion and other civic bodies did not come
up for a hearing as scheduled at the
council meeting today. At the request
of Dan J. Malar key, attorney for the
movie men. Mayor Baker postponed the
hearing until July 27, Malarkey in
formed the mayor Tuesday afternoon
that it would be impossible for him to
attend today's session.
The proposed ordinance would create
a censorship board of five instead of
three members who constitute the pres
ent board. The ordinance was presented
to the council in January. Action was
deferred pending possible state legisla
tion regulating motion picture censor
ship. Following the adjournment of the
legislature the ordinance came up for
a hearing and was postponed at the re
quest of the Church federation.
Members of the censorship board are
Mrs. Alexander, Thompson, Gus C. Mets
ger and Ralph C. McAfee. At the re
quest of Mayor Baker just before his
last Eastern trip, action on the ordinance
proposing a change in the personnel of
the board was deferred until his return.

Special editions are a graft because

noon. The newspaper as an advertising
medium owes to its advertisers the same
quatity of counsel aa the bank gives its
clients, he added. L. A. Colton. once a
member of the local club, now of San

will hit advertising first on the Pacific
coast and will hurt the better business

COAST GROUP RATE
COVERING
M
BER
ORDERED EXTENDED
Washington, July 11. (WASHING
TON BUREAU OF THE! JOURNAL.)
Coast group rates on lumber are ordered
extended to the Willamette Valley

and Estacada lines of the Portland Rail
way, Light &, Power company by de
cision of the interstate commerce com
mission announced today in the case of
the Cameron Hogg Lumber company.
Thin accomplishes a substantial re
duction In rates on suburban lines to
points east of Missoula and Rexford
Mont., and McCammon, Idaho division.
Three of the commission, consisting
of Commissioners Hall. Aitchison aad
Eastman, who rendered today's order,
submitted three opinions. Eastman wrote
the main opinion, which holds that un
due prejudice exists because the coast
group rates are not applied, but .that no
damage has been shown sad reparation
is denied.
Aitchison concurred, but believed the
rates should also be held unreasonable
and that reparation should be awarded.
Hall dissented, asserting that continued
extension of the coast group Tar
beyond anything ever contemplated by
the carriers in creating the group
will in tine lead to a shifting to
the center of gravity or weighted
average and result In one or two
things: the carriers will seek either
to break up the group or to increase the
groUp rates to cover trunk lines' absorp
tions of feeder line charges."

Credit Has Made America
A Nation of Better Homes
RECENT INVESTIGATION made in all sections of the country
among all classes of people, reveals the fact that over 90 per cent
of furniture, .automobiles, pianos, talk
ing machines, clothing and other com
modities are being purchased on credit.
In furniture particularly do you find
more and more people each year tak
ing advantage of the opportunities pre
sented by stores selling furniture on
the deferred payment plan.
Heretofore only furniture of the
cheaper grade was sold on a charge
account basis, but today practically
every type of furniture, even the most
beautiful period suites, are to be found
in the stores doing a charge account
business. Thus the credit system has
been largely responsible in making
America's homes more attractive, and
we are very proud of being numbered
among those stores that are helping
beautify America's homes with the
greatest convenience to the home
owner. i
