YOURS FOR FAIR DEALING Minor & Company An Appeal to the Voters of Oregon 0saUsWsKafaBBBtaVHaHB The Port of Portland Dock Commission Consolidation Bill on tin- state ballot should be defeated. While it no doubt affects the whole state in some degree, the enormous exjiciise which it will create must be borne by the taxpayers of the Port of Portland, which contains 209 square miles, or less than one-quarter of one per cent of the area of the state. The Chamber of Commerce, the Taxpayers' league and other Portland organizations and many representative business men have joined hands to acquaint the voters of Oregon with the facts and to enlist their opposition to the measure. The scheme of improvement proposed by the bill will cost $40,000,000. As a starter, $10,500,000 of bonds are authorized. In violation of the home rule provision of the Constitution of Oregon, the voters of the Port of Port land are denied the .right to say how large a debt they are willing to assume. Nor are they given a voice in the se lection of the commissioners who are to vote bonded debt upon them, levy taxes for them to pay and manage ther business. The electors of the territory within the Port of Portland are better qualified than any one else to judge of the amount of bonded debt they should authorize or the taxes they should pay. Their liberality in assuming bur dens of public improvement, not only for themselves, but for the state at large will not be questioned by any one who will scan the record of the huge total of bonds they are now carrying, amounting, in round figures to $34,000, 000. It cannot be thought that the state will be the gainer by imposing upon its chief city the insupportable load of additional debt contemplated by the pending bill. The sponsors of the Port of Portland bill have openly appealed to the electors of the state at large to vote for it on the ground that it will cost them nothing,. This is log rolling of the most dangerous type. If such methods are to prevail in behalf of direct legislation, no county, city! port or other municipal corporation in the state will be safe from having intolerable debts and taxes foisted upon it by indifferent voters from otherparts of the state. Bills like this must be rejected by the voters if home rule'is td retain its vital force. Home rule and such bills cannot survive together. One or the other must fall. . The voters of the Port of Portland are not asking to be relieved of their responsibility to create and main tain the necessary facilities for ocean commerce. They desire only that they be given a voice in the management of their affairs, and that, through the established precesses of law, they be permitted to adopt a plan of port de velopment which will not load millions of dollars of debt upon them. Voters are requested to vote 311 No JOSEPH N. TEAL, HENRY E. REED, A. J. GIESY, HENRI LABBE, R. L. GLISAN, F. W. MULKEY, Executive Committee,. PAID ADVERTISEMENT BY TAXPAYERS' LEAGUE OF PORTLAND A.

Why stand for them any longer? The Remedy is simple: Vote the Republican ticket on November 2 and put the United States Government on a sane, constructive, protective-basis, in the hands of competent men. Here's the way out: "The Republican party reaffirms its belief in the protective principle and pledges itself to revision of the tariff as soon as conditions shall make it necessary for the preserva tion of the home market for Ameri can labor, agriculture and industry." Republican Platfornu "I propose to do all in my power, if elected, to restore the Protective Tariff and stop the dumping of cheap foreign goods and agricultural pro ducts on the American market in competition with and to the great detriment of our farmers and work ers." '-Robert Ar. Slati field Harding and Coolidge need a Republican Senate and House to re-enact a Protective Tariff. Send them StanReld and Sinnott. Vote the Republican Ticket Straight.
