No criticism was made in the
Review regarding Mr.. Lewis
introducing the bill. The item
had only TO do with the haste he
exercised, and more particularly
with the emergency clause at
tached to the consolidation bill.
We do not criticise Mr.. Lewis
for introducing the bill, because
If il follows out the meaning of
the measure voted upon by the
people last Fall, no one could
well object to il. But we do
question the reason assigned
for the emergency clause, which
is. as we understand from press
in the interest of pub
lie health. AS a matter Of fact,
no emergency exists. The pub
lie health of no place in the
state is menaced by the bill not
becoming a law Immediately
upon its passage. and assuredly

1T is not enough for a live
community that advertising
should be correctly used to
stimulate business and to pro-
mote general prosperity. The
home newspaper is social and
intellectual thing as well as a
medium of business. One can
not serve the community better
than by seeing that interesting
items get 10 the editor. The
editor is no mind reader: call
hsn up and tell him. To do so
is the neighborly thing. the
kindly thing-a courtesy not to
the publisher alone but TO every
one in the district who might
be interested in your little
item"
Whenever Eric w. Allen. head
of the department of journalism
at the University of Oregon.
speaks in a town, he urges the
citizens 10 get behind their
home paper in both a business
and a news way on the ground
that the newspaper can be made
a wonderful agency for building
up community. BY "suc-
cessful community" Mr.. Allen
means not merely the community
whose business men are pros
pering. and whose laborers are
all at work, but the community
that is a real social and intel
lectual center. He looks to the
home paper as the most power
full means within reach of bring
ing about this kind of sue
cess" F"
IF you can once get all your
people into the way of yolun-
tarily pouring these interesting
scraps of news into the weekly
paper, you will add immensely
to the general friendliness of
the community" says Mr.. Al
len. "YOu will be helping to
make your town the kind of
place where people want to
stay and TO which former resi-
dents will want to come back.
so try 10 get ideas into the
paper. Write a little for it once
in a while. Don't let the editor
do all the thinking for the town.
If you publish ideas. you start
others to thinking. and you
raise by just so much the gen
eral level of intelligence. En-
courage the home paper to be a
business. social and intellectual |
center of the community. Ill
will richly repay"

Pleased With Criticism

Editor Review: With pleas
ure | have just finished your
criticism of my conduct in that
| have introduced a measure
permitting cities to merge.
One would naturally conclude
from reading your paper that !
had a measure compelling st.
Johns to become a part of Port
land, and the very opposite is
the case. My measure is simply
one to carry into effect the pro-
visions of the constitution per-
the people themselves

afraid of people rule? Why
should not the voters of st.
Johns have the right to say
whether they desire TO remain

Subscription prio. s,.oo psr year.

The bill allowing merger of
adjoining cities and abolishment
of charters has passed both
houses. Speaker Selling. how
ever, refused to favor the bill
because he did no. like the
emergency clause attached and
knew that the emergency as
signed did not exist. ID. G.
Lewis introduced and champion
ed the bill. Of course Mr..
Lewis is not in favor of consol-
idating Portland and st. Johns.
because he has repeatedly stated
that commission form of gov
erment is not successful, and
surely he would not have us
abolish our ideal form of gov
erment for one that he so strong
ly condemns. If the matter of
consolidation comes TO a vote we
shall expect to see Mr.. Lewis
take off his coat and devote his
spare time in convincing the
people of st. Johns that they
should let well enough alone, and
keep our own government rather
than accept the unsatisfying
commission form of Portland.
OF course he only introduced
the bill upon request Of some of
his constituents, and he really
does not believe the public
health Of st. Johns would have
been menaced il the emergency
clause had been omitted. The
people Of st. Johns cannot help
but admire the boost" our
representative in the Legisla.
ture has given the city when he
added an emergency clause TO
the bill declaring that public
health demanded that il become
a law upon passage. But then. |
perhaps, he did not realize the |
reflection il might cast upon the
city of ST. Johns.

the $4,000 roadway to a (pro-
posed) cooperage | asked the
city council three plain ques-
tions and made one palmer
statement of fact. Although
Mr.. G.. w. Munson carefully
sidesteps these questions and
statement of fact, yet in a
sophistical tumble of words he
presumes to criticise yours truly.
The crux of my contention on
the subject of this roadway is
the stretching Of a legal point
by the council in diverting city
funds for the building of the
same. That | am correct in my
contention is proven by no less
an eminence than Mr.. G.. w.
Munson himself. who in his
letter says: while a legal
point may have been stretched
in building the roadway" etc.
Had this gentleman been a man
of logic instead of words he
would not have let the cat out
of the bag in this manner. II
the council can stretch a legal
point for a So. 900 roadway to a
(proposed) cooperage, what
guarantee have the taxpayers
that they will not stretch an
other point for a $50. 900 road
way TO a proposed skating rink
for old maids? Here is what !
said about the Sc, 900 roadway
under discussion: Question No.
would you kind
ly inform the public where you
got authority TO spend Sc. 900
for the road to the (proposed)
cooperagew Question No. 3

Does the council possess
security or assurance that this

w. Munson? When you get

of fact which was. las | read

are TO be consulted before city
funds are spent. As to the
Munsonic benefits that are TO
accrue to st. Johns from this

Editor Review: In your issue
of the 10Th inst. Mr.. G. w.
Munson assumes two roles. In
one he appears as defender of
the city council. spending So. 600
on the roadway to the (pro-
posed) cooperage, and in the
other he holds the stage as
critic of the writer. The gentle
mans letter in the aforesaid
issue is as long on words as it
is short on logic. On the sub
ject of the Cation tract il is
true that | attacked the city
council. That said attack was
justified was proven by said
body refusing TO purchase this
property. On the subject of

MULTNOMAH
THEATRE TO
Give PRIZES
Bl lsesi Voting Contest Ever lnsusurstsd In 81.
Johns VIII Commence Monday. Jan. rs

A big gift enterprise will
be inaugurated at the Multi
nomah Theatre. st. Johns, next
Monday. January 25th. $1,000
in special gifts will be given TO
the ladies and girls in and
around ST. Johns. Any one is
eligible TO enter the contest. II
does not cost a cent. One
feature of this contest is that
every one that is an active can
didate will positively get a prize
and no prize will be given that
is not really a handsome and
valuable one and worth $1,000.
The plan is quite a asimple one.
The gifts will be gwen through
the medium of votes that will
be given on admissions TO the
Multnomah Theatre. The girl
or lady that has the most of
these votes at the close of the
contest will get a Bungalow
Player Piano purchased from
and displayed by the Eilers
Music House on Alder and
Broadway. See it there as il
is a beauty and will well repay
the lady that wins it for her
time. Each admission to the
Theatre will entitle the holder
TO fifty votes. A trip to Cali
fornia is another of the prizes
that will be given to the lucky
girl or lady that wins il. What
lady or girl in st. Johns would
not like TO make this trip TO
the big Exposition. Three dia-
mond rings will also be in the
list of prizes. Three scholar
ships are amongst the prizes
that will be given. These
scholarships will be in The
Holmes Business College. the
leading Business College of the
Coast. and will be probably the
best prizes that will be given
in the contest, as a business
education is the best thing that
a young lady can possibly Sc
cure as she is at all times in |
dependent of life's vicissitudes. |
A watch is also one of the |
prizes to be given. A hand
some brooch is also on the list |
and is beauty. Three gem set |
lavaliers with gold chains are
the smaller prizes. At |
present We are announcing fif-
teen prizes. If more candidates
enter the contest than we have
prizes we will add more prizes
so that each and every active
will positively get a
prize.
