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

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.
