Mr.. Davis Takes a Hand

The Review has invited dis
cussion on the annexation ques
tion. / am thankful for these
little favors. and would like L
look into that matter of Portland
owing $50 per capita agains,
st. Johns $1,000 per head.
presume these figures are cor.
rect, am willing TO take the ed
itors word for it for a basis to
work on. The difference in the
amounts of course. can be ex.
planned by saying that Portland
has more public improvements
and public utilities than we have
In proportion. z Hh
The people of Portland voted
bonds for parks. bridges, pub
lie buildings and water works Ia
the extent of $50 per capita.
That is about the amount OF
money that the city council OF
st. Johns voted for me against
the front of one of my lots. st.
Johns needs all these things in
a larger proportion than Port
land but hasn't seen fit to buy
them.
We have to make a compari.
son right here so we can arrive
at a conclusion sas TO whether
we want to annex TO Portland or
not.
Portland has parks. they say
they are good investments. |
presume they are. st. Johns
hasn't any. Public buildings
that are necessary for the use
of the cities are also good in
vestments in both places. Wat
er in Portland furnished to an
modern residence which
consists of bath. toilet. lavatory.
and stationary tubs can be had
for 60 cents per month. Same
thing in st. Johns costs you as
high as 81. 85 per month a differ,
ence of Sl.25 per month or $l5.-
DO per year. That's enough to
pay the average mans taxes.
This comparison indicates that
the consumers of water in Port
and are drawing down 25 per
cent dividend on their $50 debt.
Whether the Portland water
works are self sustaining or not,
I is a fact that cannot be denied
hat together with what defici-
,ncy exists and together with
,aying of water bonds or it's
fund. the city taxes
n Portland are less than in st. !
Iohns. Notwithstanding. / have |
suspicion that Mr.. Markle will
'robably drop down a few lines |
'elow this article and call your
to the idea that we
laven't got Portland water rates
nd won't get them after we an
ex.
The first part of this is true,
ut it still remains a very signifi-
ant fact. that all other suburbs
nat have annexed have got that
cry thing. and it is true too
nat we have went the limit and
now that there is to be no re-
uction on water rates if We I
emain as st. Johns. Let's take
chance. | believe the city of
ortland would buy the ST. Johns
ater company out and pay ,
lem a good fair price for it
nd then we would get the rates
e have right to have as a
lrt of the city of Portland. Z
To bring your attention a little c
ronger to the matter of this
70 per capita bugaboo. let me
serve that if the city of st.
Inns had bought the parks offer

Tuesday evening the proposition
of purchasing the st. Johns

This will give all who want

MT. McAdoo has worked about as hard on his various plans for what he thinks to be the bet torment of financial and commercial conditions any
 Concerning Some "ln-Iaws."
 William Gibbs McAdoo is sonin-law of Wood row Wilson. Perhaps if the history of the United States searched another similar case could be found but so far as present memory goes this is the first time that a chief executive has had in his cabinet the husband of his daughter When the engagement of the secretary of the treasury to the daughter of the president announced some people said, "It is all over with MT. McAdoo as secretary of the treasury" Other people asked why, and then the answer came perhaps naturally enough, 'lnlaws' never can get along together"
 There seems to be indication that the in law relationship existing between the secretary of the treasury and the president of the United States is going to interfere all with the serenity of their relations Woodrow Wilson it is known. believes implicitly in MT. McAdoo's judgment in matters governmental
 Had Eye McAdoo.
 Washington hears occasionally that the pres- dent. when he a college professor, had his attention drawn to MT. McAdoo at the tunnel pe- riod of the latters life. The word is that the president thought that who could take up scheme which had been pronounced visionary and make it of force and effect was man who could do pretty nearly anything shat he chose to do. So there may be foundation. after all. in for the occasional statement with refer ence to the secretarys position in the cabinet that Bill got there through the tunnel"
 One thing which might seem of minor impor tance MT. McAdoo has accomplished in the treas ury department while he has been engaged with things of seemingly much greater importance He has succeeded in securing for himself several hours of each day in which to give study to fed eral matters hours in which he be certain that he will not be interrupted by callers no mat ter how high their estate. politically or legisla. lively.

 Now he is Rear Admiral Samue, McGowan, paymaster general, T 6 N, and is entitled to all the distinc. tons, honors and privileges appertain. ing thereto.

ITALY'S BRAVE KING

They call him king, but in truth he is more of confrere, fellow citi- zen, a president of a republic than king of monarchy. It is safe to say if Victor Emmanuel III by some turn of fortune were dethroned tomorrow and Italy were asked to elect a presi- dent his name would be Victor En- manuel. For he is heart and soul Italian, the beau ideal, the beau sabreur, the idol of the nation.
 It was thoroughly characteristic of him, when Italy entered the war, to throw aside his scepter, place his uncle, the duke of Genoa, on his throne while the king mounted his horse and rode away with his army. Anybody can sit on throne; it takes brave man to ride to war. But Vic tor Emmanuel has never shirked dan- ger.
 In so far as any man can be trained to be king the monarch of the Italians was so trained. Truly Spar

UNCLE SAWS RADIO CHIEF

- The story of the development of wireless communication in the United States covers span of only 16 years. When that story comes to be written the historian will find that the major portion of his material and notes ac- cumulated for the task relates to the activities of the navy, and that, in this portion of them, the figure of Capt. William H. G. Bullard, U. s. N, is prominent.
 For just as the navy pioneered in wireless, so, within the navy, Captain Bullard was leader of the pioneers.
 It really was IF years ago that Captain Bullard, then a young naval lieutenant, fresh from Spanish-Amer- ican war service, was attracted by the new subject. During his student days at Annapolis electricity and electrical engineering had attracted him. These studies he carried on further follow Ing graduation. He became known as one of the Electrical sharps' of the

HE'S A TYPICAL AMERICAN

Robert P. Skinner, consul general at London, who came home to report to the administration concerning the controversy with England over Ameri- can shipping, is typical American, whose career illustrates how one may not only meet opportunity when 1t comes his way, but create opportunity.
 Eighteen or twenty years ago he was identified with what would be called a country newspaper in his home town at Massillon, O. The country newspapers in Ohio as rule are metropolitan in their spirit and are good training for other places.
 Massillon is near Canton. William Mckinley lived at Canton. During the presidential campaign of 1896 Robert P. Skinner looked after the news for several papers in New York and else where. After the election he was one of the band of newspaper men who, as the phrase then went, helped Major McKiulav form his cabinet.

U humanity, and particularly in behalf of the good Democratic ship. Baltimore Platform which was trying to make harbor laden with precious cargo of party legislation
 Most of the coast guardsmen were gathered in the lighthouse circling about their returned leader and friend, big Bill Bryan. who had come back once more to his work keeper. The door of the lighthouse was thrown open and in breezed tall lanky coast guardsman wrapped in a pea jacket When the newly blown in" one brought bis face out gradually from the folds of huge muffer the coast guardsmen cried in welcoming unison, Why it's Bill McAdoo!"
 Later guardsman said to another How did Bill McAdoo get there did he come in on the lifeboat? The answer was No. Bill got there through the tunnel"
 So it is that when men speak of Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo and his career. which has landed him in the second cabinet office of govern ment, they apt to say that Bill got there through the tunnel"
 Does not everybody know what is meant by Bill getting there" through the tunnel? If any. be so unknowing let it be said at once that it was William Gibbs McAdoo, now the secretary of the treasury who undertook the gigantic work of constructing tunnels under the Hudson river through which railroads were run to connect the terminals and cities of the Jersey side with the business and shopping districts of Manhattan. This tunnel project of Mir. McAdoo at first said to be dream. It had been suggested and U and substance before the present secretary of the treasury looked the scheme said it was good and that it could be put through He put it through and the work such success that men now say that MT. McAdoo got there through the tunnel"
 He's Often Criticized.
 It probably is not entirely fair to Uncle Sam's secretary of the treasury to say that the tunnel was responsible for his success. MT. McAdoo's friends would rather have it put that MT. MeAdoo was responsible for the tunnels success and that the same energy and other things which enter into an able mans makeup responsible for his getting there with the tunnel and with the other things which he has undertaken. and also responsible for his getting there when their thoughts dwell on the presidents cabinet
 Perhaps man in MT Wilson's cabinet has been the target for many shafts of criticism and so many bouquets of praise this anky gen. tleman with the Roman nose who looks after the interests of Uncle Sam's strongbox. Men who do not believe in his financial theories and some of his legislative endeavors say that he may be able to build tunnel but that he has not in him the clements of greatness financier and that his tory will not make second Alexander Hamilton out of him. Other men, lots of them take issue { The legislation which established federal
