T here is no b etter know n a tto r-
ney in P o rtlan d th an Gus C. Moser.
He has been in th e Oregon leg isla­
tu re so m any te rm s th a t it would
seem stra n g e to try to m ake laws
w ithout his su p p o rt or opposition.
T h at statem en t su g g ests th a t he is
a h ard fighter, w hich is literally
true. W hen he backs a cause you
know it and w hen he opposes a
m easure o th e rs have to fight hard
for it if it ca rrie s.
Moser is one of th e eight men on
the republican tic k et for th e sen ate
from M ultnom ah county of w hich
five are to be elected. He seem s to
be one of th e indispensibles.

People who figure closely on
th e ir tax expenditures can find no
cause for alarm in the m easure on
th e b allot at the p rim ary election
May 18, providing for th e issuance
of bonds in th e sum of $4,250,000
for the co n stru ctio n of a bridge
acro ss th e W illam ette riv er a t St.
Johns, according to a statem en t
issued by the P eninsula B ridge
com m ittee. T he tax increase will
be but a sc an t half mill on each
$1000 assessed valuation.
T his
sim ply m eans th a t if a hom e ow ner
is assessed for $1000 each year his
in crease would be but 50 cents. It
is doubtful if th e re can be found in
the whole city one m an or woman
who would refuse to co n trib u te 60
cen ts or u do llar to any project
th a t has for its purpose a bigger
and b etter P ortland.
The P en in su la d istric t w here it
is proposed to locate th is bridge is
P o rtla n d 's g re a t in d u stria l area.
N orth of Broadw ay may be found
one-third the population of th e city
and 70 per cent of its industries.
T hese in d u strie s are valued a t be­
tw een $40,000.000 and $50,000,000,
witli a m onthly pay roll of m ore
th an $1,000,000 distrib u ted in all
p a rts of th e city and county. In
th is im p o rtant section th e re is not
one bridge acro ss the W illam ette
river, business and traffic having to
depend en tirely on an inadequate
and obsolete ferry. South of B road­
way th e re are seven bridges.
Men and women living in St.
Jo h n s and w orking in L lnnton p a r ­
tic u la rly feel th e u n reliab ility of
th is ferry. F req u en tly they a rriv e
at th e ferry slip in th e m orning
only to find th e boat out of com ­
m ission. Som etim es they m ay be
able to m ake th e trip via th e
Broadw ay bridge a distan ce of
ab o u t 15 m iles. At oth er tim es
they find th is im possible. Only a
few days ago, 12 men w ere deprived
of a d ay's w ork and pay because
they could not reach th e ir places of
em ploym ent, th e re being no ferry
th a t day. They w ere all m a rried
men to whom a day’s pay m eans
much th ese tim es. It is th e ir wives
and ch ild ren who
p articu la rly
suffer.
High school children of L lnnton
cannot depend on the fe rry and
n ecessarily m ust m ake a 16-mile
trip daily, w hereas one of th e best
high schools In th e city is located
in St. Jo h n s less th a n a mile aw ay.
A s id e f r o m a l l th is the ferry a p ­
p roaches are dangerous, nine lives
alre ad y having been lost there.
T hese a re facts and conditions
for th e voters to ta k e into consid­
eratio n on May 18 and vote in all
fairn ess to relieve the situation.
