m the roses. And their beauties are known to all the world. There are two great features of the place which thinA can be attributed to these roses-tnal there are no back yards in the city and that it is one of the best landscapeu' prettiest towns of residences in the coun- try. It is often hard to tell which IS the rear side of a residence and the way the people work in their yards and flower boxes around the balconies to. make them objects of beauty would make Mayor Ward and his city beautiful clubs turn green with envy. Any city could well af- ford to study Portland's methods in these particulars.
 Portland's commercial club, board or trade and chamber of commerce each has beautiful buildings of their own ana are doing hard, aggressive work They located in Portland a s2O,000,0oO packing plant. which the Swift company had de- termined on for the Pacific coast though Seattle seemed to have the best show for it.
 My Birmingham pride received an aWfui hlow this morning when the ticket agent at the validating office looked at my ticket and asked in what state blrilins ham was located. It seems to me it's up to us to show these conceited western towns they are not the only ones With a national reputation for hustling.

 What good is our Commercial club in- viting capital to this district when there is such little effort made to protect cap- ital already invested? Let us call mass meeting and urge our governor to declare martial law at once, promising him our support in every way and put stop to this lawessness.

the independent workman who under our laws and institutions is entitled to seek happiness and earn legitimate living free and untrammelled from any source or influence whatever. A combination or workers in any line where improvement In skill or efficiency or betterment of liv- ing conditions is sought is not only legit- innate but is highly commendable and will always have public sympathy and support, but when such combination becomes tyrannical and attempts to dic- tate policies that are subversive of gov ernment and oppressive to capital and in- dependent workers, right then it becomes a public menace and should receive pub lie condemnation.
 That is the status of the United Mine Workers in the present strike. They have ceased to work because they cannot dictate to employers and so they should not be permitted to try to prevent others from working. So long as this claims to be a free country must this principle be enforced by those who administer our laws. Anything else is surrendering rights that carry Wllh fliNhi tHS hCai S'l s.i-N~ highest principles of freedom.
 In an address made to the strikers at or near Dora on Friday last this recog- nized leader is reported by The Age Herald correspondent who was present to have used these words: ''If you lose this strike not decent miner, not a man of you who has any self-respect should ai, in Ia hama oil ba strike is already lost, since the employers have emphatically declared that they will not accept the miners terms, is it not about

PARK COMMISSION
NEEDS $72,7OO
But Can Get Along This Year
With Appropriation Of
$S3,2SO

The Board Of Park Commissioners in
special session yesterday afternoon dis
cussed with Mayor Wilson and William
p. White, chairman of the Finance Gem
mittee OF City Council. the commisslons
estimate of the funds required for the
maintenance and improvement Of the city
parks during the next fiscal year. The
amount desired is S72.7OO william P. Ban
croft, president Of the commission, had
the estimates divided into three divisions.
one showing the urgent need Of $3.50;
another showing the need of s21.4 40 Ia the
near future, and an item Of $4,000 for the
Kirkwood Park bath house. The items for
which the various amounts are desired
were not made public. It being the desiro
OF the commission to first submit the
estimates to City Council. Mr.. Bancroft
was directed by the commission to de this.
While the list was being gone ever
Mayor Wilson suggested that the csm-
mission make the permanent imrrOvc-
ments desired out Of the proceeds Of a
bond issue instead Of ask'ns Council to
levy. The idea met with the approval Of
some members Sf the commission as II
was agreed that all the desired park Inn
provements could not be made within i've
years IL the necessary money is 70 come
from the tax levy. It was agreed that all
though many Of the suggested imprOve-
ments are not urgent the park property
would be very much improved by them.
and that II a bond issue Is to be made
it should be large enough to cover the
cost Of every improvement desired by the
commission.
It was announced that the estimate Of
the cost Of actual present needs OF the
commission is greater than the estimate
Of last year, this years estimate provld-
ing for a chief Of park police, additional
lighting and new foot bridge to take
the place Of the present wire suspension
bridge at DUPONT street. It is certain that
provision will be made for making these
improvements this year.
The commission was also OF the opinion
that provision should be made in the
estimate for caring for the playground
which is to be opened beyond Third street
bridge. Reference to the Kirkwood Park
bath house project was only casual It is
certain, however. that Council will ar
range to have the bathhouse built this
year.
