has apparently had little if any
beneficial effect, though 1t was not
expected that anything Of real or
lasting nature could be accomplished
until the sluicing had cut into the
heart of the trouble. This inforuia

gentleman who should have knowl
edge Of what he states. Another
important IL true" statement in re-
gard to the Irving slide gained cur

the engineering department of the
Columbia may soon be expected to
issue a mandate forbidding the farth-
er sluicing Of dirt into the river, for
the reason that the dirt is already
having an appreciable effect in FILL
ing up the channel While the waters
Of the river that pass BY the Lurline
docks, for example, are discolored,
yet it would seem difficult to credit
the belief that there is enough to
affect the channel ever so slightly.

CANDIDATES MUST PAY

NO AMENDMENT TO SECTION
WHICH RAISES BARRIER TO
THEWATER COMMISSION

The city charter seems to make
some very precise demands of those
who present themselves as candidates
for election to the water commits.
sion. One may not be elected to
this position unless he is "a taxpay-
err and, as stated in the Astorian
Of yesterday by taxpayer in this re-
lation is meant that the candidate
pay at least SIS in taxes every year.
But the question is still somewhat
puzzling and even upon close analy-
sis of the charter provision the ques-
ton does not appear quite clear The
section Of the charter that covers
the matter reads as follows;
mo person shall be considered a
taxpayer, within the meaning Of this
act, SO as to be eligible to become a
member of the commission under
this act, unless he has paid to the
city within a year before his selec-
ton or appointment to such position,
a tax Of not less than SIS, and when
ever any member shall fail to pay
such tax to the city for one year he
shall cease to be a member
Now it is perhaps evident that this
means that 1t is not sufficient that a
candidate pay SIS taxes, including
the county and school taxes. The
money must be paid ito the city"
Taxes that are paid ITO the city
must, evidently, be on city property,
and therefore the section very evil
IDENTIFY means that this SIS must be
on city property. The city levy was
| te mills out Of the total Of IS mills,
but the latent ambiguity Of the Lam
guage Of the section seems to forbid
any entirely clear reading as to just
how, or on exactly what basis, the
$25 tax is to be figured, All that
seems clear is that county and school
taxes are not to be included.
There has been no amendment to
this section, which may be found on
page 84 Of the published charter, It
raises a pretty high barrier AMI
seems to come near to affecting
more than one Of the present can.
