INSTITUTIONS
WILL NOT ASK
FOR INCREASE

Neither the penitentiary nor the sol
dlers home, at Roseburg, will request
the legislature this year for increased
maintenance appropriations.
This announcement was made by
Governor West today and he further
announced that the soldiers home
would not even ask for an appropria-
tion for Betterments and improve
ments, though the penitentiary will
possibly ask for an appropriation for
the installation of industries.
The last legislature appropriated
$4,000 for the penltentiary, and $S2,-
900 for the soldiers home. The peni-
tentiary asked for an appropriation OF
$152,OOO, but the legislature cut 1t $1O,-
900.
When the legislature convenes the
governor will ask it to pass bill
abolishing the office of superintendent
for the penitentiary and this will eff
feet saving. The state board will
ask that measure be passed that the
institution be put under its control,
and measure allowing state institu-
tions to use money obtained from sale
Of products or labor of their inmates
for the maintenance and betterment
of the institutions. Under this law it
is figured that all of the state insti-
tutions can be placed on a self-suD-
porting basis, and that rapid strides
can be made along that line in the
next two years at the penitentary In
view of this an increased appropria-
ton will be asked for.

Salt Lake, Utah, Sept 27.-That the
key to a settlement Of differences be-
tween the miners and mine owners Of
the copper mines at Bingham is the
recognition of the Western Federation
of Miners is the general eblief here to-
day.
No announcement was made as to
the result of the conference yester-
day between Governor spry and A. L.
Wilde, business agent Of the Steam
shovelmen's Union, but the governor
intlmated today that It might have a
favorable effect on the situation.
Operators with interests at Bing-
ham are arriving here and declaring
their willingness to meet representa-
tlves Of the men, but not the union
leaders.
Some excitement was caused today
when the militia, after sleeping in the
armory all last night, went to the rifle
range. Officers declared this action
has no connection with the strike.
President Meyer, of the Western
Federation, telegraphed today from
Nevada that the miners there are pre-
pairing to strike in sympathy with the
Bingham men.

THE NAVAL
MILITIA
WILL STAY

The fate of the Oregon naval militia
now rests in the hands of the legisla-
ture, for Governor West has decided to
take no action looking to its disband-
ment, but to leave that to the leglsla-
tive body.
Several months ago the governor
asked the organization to justify, and
declared that unless 1t could show a
reason why It should longer exist that
he would disband it. Friends Of the
organization prevailed upon him to
allow It to live little longer, and he
made the new lease Of life dependent
upon the conduct of the officers and
men during the cruise Of the Maryland.
The officers in charge made reports in
favor of the organization, and he has
now decided to refer these reports, to-
gether with the expenditures of the
organization, tot the legislature for
consideration and action.

The Popular Loan Plan.
Col. Hofer next attacked the sale of
longtime bonds in the east and send
ing all the interest money to New
York. He showed that the popular
loan plan of selling bonds to the peo-
pie had been rendered dead letter,
and demanded that the sale of small
bonds to the bona fide residents on
the popular loan subscription plan be
restored. "Then the interest and the
principal will stay at home. That sys-
tenn is making Portland one Of the
richest cities in the United States.
That system is making the people OF

in the world. In France municipal
and government bonds as low as ten
francs, $500, are sold to he servant
girls and farm laborers. Why was the
popular loan system provided in our
city charter ever abandoned? Why
was It nullified? To serve the inter-
ests of eastern bondholders and i'm
pcyerish our own people. Let us re-
store It and let these sewer bonds be
taken by our own people. They bear
five per cent and are not taxable"
Fees in City Cases.
Col. Hofer said the charter was be-
ing violated by allowing the police de-
rartment to make arrests for viola
tions of state laws committed within
the city and then try those cases be-
fore a justice court and pocket the
fees. The moral agitations were go
ing to produce an enormous amount of
this kind of business and under the
charter all fees in such cases should
go into the city treasury. When that
was done there was no temptation to
make cases against the state and run
fee bills against the taxpayers Of the
city and county. The city council
should give the city recorder sufficient
help so that he would have time to
handle that business, and the result
would be a large amount Of revenues
for the city The city recorder was
not to blame as all his time was taken
with clerical duties heaped on that Of
flee. The new chief Of police should
be elected with a distinct understand
ing on this mater.
Public Works Department.
Col. Hofer advocated the establish
ment of department Of public works
and cited the Twelfth street concrete
bridge. IAN engineer estimated that
the bridge would cost $4,000. The
city went ahead and built better and
larger bridge for about $4,000. So

TAFT PLATFORM

Straddle Problem By Praising

HIT RECALL PROPOSITION
LaFollette Faction Will Fight
For Reforms In Minor
ity Report

CHICAGO, June 22.-Condensing Of
the platform, In which endorsement OF
President Taft and the tariff planks
are the principal disputes, was begun
this morning by the resolutions COM
mittee. Presentation OF the platform
TO the convention at noon today was
the program.
Roosevelt delegates centered their
platform fire on the proposal TO en-
dorse the Taft administration. They
are strenuously lighting even the
barest mention of Taft's name. As a
compromise the Taft platform build
ers offer plank endorsing Mckinley,
Roosevelt and Taft In the same
breath.
Waterways Improvement received
opposition from Senator Burton, OF
Ohio. He caused such squabble In
the committee last night that an ad.
journment was taken until today for
the purpose of giving the sub-com-
mittee time to perfect the tentative
draft.
Elimination of the woman suffrage
plank originally drawn, which gave
women suffrage in state elections
only, was practically agreed to today
before the committee met. IT has
slim chances OF re-insertion.
A new provision agreed to Is a
declaration for ship subsidy, a 10
per cent reduction OF duty on goods
brought to this country in American
vessels.
Another plank declares opposition
to the recall of judges and judicial
decisions, practically as written by
William Barnes, Jr., OF New York, in
the Rochester platform.
The tariff plank is another disputed
question, which will probably reach
the convention floor. The progressives
have agreed to plank declaring for
revision of the tariff downward ITO
equal the difference in cost of pro-
duction at home and abroad" but the
Taft draft proposes to add the words
And a reasonable profit to American
manufacturers"
The high cost OF living will be
touched upon as a part of the tariff
plank, as illustrating the necessity for
safe and sane gradualreduction of
the Payne-Aldrich schedules, but in
accordance with the findings of a non
partisan tariff commission. Con-
tinuation of President Taft's tariff
commission may not be recommended

Down In McRea. Georgia, they took
a feeble wreck Of man from q pas
senger train, where he had been
stricken with his last illness, early
last week.
His hair and beard were white as
snow; his frame was shrunken TO a
mere skeleton and his reason had
fed. But in his delirium he talked In
coherently OF thousands of dollars OF
wealth, OF mining stocks, OF art and
society, and OF prison cells. He spoke
often OF Detroit, and Of stocks and
bonds and securities in the Wayne
County Savings bank here. When he
died, known only by numerous names
muttered In his delirium, McRae Of
ficials realized they had some sort OF
q mystery on their hands.
They photographed the dead man
and one OF the pictures, with a news
paper clipping about the mans death
and his delirious mutterings, was sent
to the Wayne County Savings bank.

adoption OF compromise platform
In which concessions would be made

the opinion OF nearly every party

and visitors alike wanted to get nome.
ljut to do so the greatest one DAY
program that ever confronted a ha
iional convention was TO be settled
The leaders said they could get
through The delegates hoped this
would be possible.
The denomination OF the president
was generally conceded by nearly
everyone. The big party leaders,
Barnes, Root. Crane, Mckinley ana
taeir associates insisted the presidents
strength through the county has been
yaininE by leaps and bounds during
tne, last As hours. They positively IN
sisted that there were evidences tnat
lefore November the party would be
united and claimed that Col. Roose-
Syelts new progressive party would
win away from them only minority
and that in the progressive states the
democrats would lose more TO the new
party than they would, thus equalizing
the fight They professed to believe
that cards have been stacked for
s.ther Champ Clark, Judson Harmon
H Oscar w. Underwood at Baltimore
and they insisted that they would
then be able TO face the struggle In
November with hopes for victory. De-
spite their open confidence the. Tart
leaders were troubled over the Roose-
yelt program. The leaders ter the
clonei had indicated that, after the
Taft delegates had been seated from
;tAe state of Washington, which they
characterized as only "trihe less
worse case of grand larceny than the
California contests" they would par
ticipate in the proceedings no further.
But that there was a we'll organized
plan OF campaign ready for use In the
Roosevelt camp was known TO the
Taft leaders and the latter made care

might turn up.
II was not expected any move the
former president could make would
,aange the result So far as this con-
,ention In concerned, II was agreed
t1at the psychological moment when
the colonel could have turned defeat
into victory was never In evidence.
IAisately, some Of his leaders blamed
the militant western progressives for
bringing him here three days before
the convention was to assemble. They
said this tactical blunder wet the
powder OF their reserve army and the
Taft men agree with this estimate.
