THE TAX NOT TO BE HEAVY Covering Two Years,Jt Will Be 1.75 Mills. LEGISLATURE IS TO DETERMINE Ways and Means Committee of Ei position Speedily Reaches Conclu sion How Ten Xcw Directors Are to Be Chosen. Five hundred thousand dollars for the 1wSs nnd Clark Fair of 1005. This sura the ways and means com mittee of the Exposition will advtee the directors to ask from the Oreson Legislature next January. ' The com mittee reached the decision last night, after a hrlef discussion. The vote was unanimous. The sum of $500,000 has engaged the pri vate discussion of the directors and cit izens for some time past. It was so clear ly fixed upon by common understanding that the committee reached the focus of Its deliberations last night some time be fore it reduced the question to a formal vote. The committee decided to advise th.t at least five of the 10 additional directors to be chosen by the stockholders of the fair on October 6 be selected from parts of Oregon outside of Portland. It also dis cussed the advisability of having three of the five members of the committee on legislation, which is yet to be appointed, represent parts of the state other than Portland., Tho objection was that the quorum of the committee would depeml on members who lived at a distance from the city, and. who might not always be able to attend the meetings of the com mittee. This question Is still under ad visement To Decide on a Sum. Chairman Fenton said at the outset of the meeting that. Inasmuch as the com mittee on legislation had not yet been created, the consideration of what appro priation would be sought from the Legis lature might properly be Initiated by the the ways and means committee. Accord- lng to the by-laws of the fair, this comTSador to Russia, to succeed Andrew D. mlttee Is "charged with the duty of rais Ing funds necessary for the corporate purposes of the company, including the soliciting and collecting of subscriptions to the capital stock, the selling of tickets of admission, the fixing upon the rates at which concessions and privileges shall be disposed of, and all other matters rel ative to the collection of amounts due or to become due to the company." Worlc for Legislation Committee. If the committee on legislation were cre ated, the deliberation over the state ap propriation would come properly within Its sphere of duty. The opinion last night was that as soon as this committee Is ap pointed . the appropriation should be at tended to by that body Instead of by the ways and means committee. Section 14 of the by-laws says: it shall be the duty of this committee (on legislation) to Initiate and secure the passage of all legislation deemed advantageous to the business of this company, whether municipal. In the several states or In the Congress of the United States; to report from "time to time to the executive committee the state of pending' legislation, and to recommend such measures as to them may. seem best to promote the suc cuss of the company's business. From the General Fund. The sentiment of the committee was that the Legislature should appropriate the money for the fair from the general funds of the state. An appropriation raised by a special tax was deemed Im practicable. Mr. Fenton said that the ap propriation could not be made directly .to the Exposition, because of constitutional obstacles, but he suggested that the money given 'by the state could be ex pended under the direction of a commis sion created for the purpose. This com mission could co-operate with the fair management, and although technically it would be a body vested with Individual duties, yet practically Its work would bo In common with that of the directors. Tax for Two Years. The committee will advise that the tax to meet the appropriation cover a period of two years, namely 1903 and 1901. The amount collected in lOi and 1905 would tie $250,000 for each year. The appropriation could be met by a levy, which, at most, would be 1 mills. The assessed valuation of the state In 1901 was $141,398,513 6. In 1903 it will prob ably be considerably more, so that a levy of 1 mills would "meet requirements. The levy under which taxes are now paid Is 5.961 mills. An addition of L75 mills would make It 7.71 mills a levy which would be only .7 mill above the highest that has been imposed In the past decade. In 1S32 the levy was 7 mills on an assessed val uation of 5100,263.646. Added, to the Board. Mr. Wolfe strongly Insisted that Influ ential citizens of districts outside of Port land be added to the board of directors. His suggestions moved the committee to make the recommendation as stated above. Mr. Wolfe said that the attach ment of euch persons to the management of the fair would go far toward enlisting the co-operation of all districts of Oregon In the enterprise. The arrangement would also remove any local tinge that in the eyes "of outside people might have colored the fair project. Members of the committee present were: W. D. Fenton, L N. Flelschner, G.

The appoint ment of Charlemange Tower, as Ambas sador to Germany, to succeed Mr. White, is confirmed.

It Is regarded as quite probable that he will In turn. be. succeeded by Hon. Bellamy Storer, pres ent Ambassador to the Court of Madrid. It Is Intimated further that the vacancy In the Spanish mission may be filled by the appointment of Mr. Henry White, present secretary of Embassy In Great Britain. CAREER OF TOWER.

Pace 10, TO RUSSIA. ROOSEVELT DOING NICELY PRESIDENT SPENDS THE DAY SIT TING UP IN BED. Good Results Are Already Apparent From the Complete Rest He Is Giving: His Injnred. Legr. WASHINGTON. Sept 25. President Roosevelt was resting very comfortably when his physicians called to see him this evening. He Is complying strictly with their Injunctions to give his Injured leg complete rest, and good results are apparent already. In view of the Im provemcnt in the President's condition no prepared statement was made. Secre tary Cortelyou simply saying when he left the temporary White House at 10 o'clock for the evening, that Mr. Roose velt was doing nicely. Dr. Lung, the President's regular physician, had left the house at an early hour. Throughout the day President Roosevelt remained sitting up In bed, contenting himself with reading a book or chatting with Mrs. Roosevelt, except when direct ing the disposition of some matter re garded as pressing enough to bring to his attention. Little business will be laid be fore him, but there are several matters, Including some pending diplomatic ap pointments, which probably will be at tended to shortly. Secretary Cortelyou during the day transacted much routine business. Only a few of the foreign diplomats are In the city, but those who are here called personally to Inquire after the President's condition. Among the first to arrive was the Japanese Minister. Mr. Takahlra. There were also a number of other dis tinguished callers, including General James Longstreet Secretary Moody was admitted to the President's bedroom about noon, and remained with him for some tlirie. The Secretary made a pass ing reference to the situation In South American waters. President Roosevelt passed a comfort able night and ate his breakfast with great relish this morning. After break fast Dr. Rlxey, Surgeon-General of the Navy; Dr. O'Reilly, Surgeon-General of the Army, and Dr. Lung made an exam ination of the wound and reported that it was in a satisfactory condition. They expect the Inflammation to be allayed without complications. There was a slight rise- In the Presi dent's temperature last night, after he reached the temporary White House. This was attributable to the excitement incident to his removal from the train, and was regarded as entirely natural un der the circumstances. It is the desire of the President that the public should be informed fully concern ing his condition, but there Is a natural antipathy against the Issue of bulletins lest the gravity of the accident may be enlarged. It is not unlikely, however,, that Secretary , Cortelyou occaslonally may Issue an official statement If for no other reason than to silence the disquiet ing rumors. Possible complications can arise only If It should later develop that the bone of the leg Is Injured, a contin gency not now anticipated. The President did not leave his bed this morning, but sat up and read a book. Secretaries Shaw. Hitchcock and Wilson found him reading Avhen they called. They said he looked as hale and hearty as he ever did. Secretaries Shaw, and Wilson returned only this morning from Chicago, where they were to have met the President Shavr Will Not Resign. WASHINGTON. Sept. 23. Regarding the public report that he had resigned. Secretary Shaw said: "I denied this rumor In Chicago. It wduld seem unnecessary to repudiate a story that has no authority and is built upon a false assumption, and is enlarged upon simply to fill space. The President and Secretary of the Treasury are In thor ough harmony. Of this there need be no doubt If the speeches made by the Presi dent and the Secretary will be read and compared, instead of the headlines." Republicans -Stand by Roosevelt. TARIFF POLICY INDORSED Judge Girdsall Named to Succeed Henderson. STATE PLATFORM REAFFIRMED Third District Convention Holds Its Tariff Finnic Is but a Reiteration of St. Louis Declaration in the Interest of Worlclnsmnn. "We cordially recognize and .earnest ly commend the satriotlc fervor of Precident Roosevelt and the wisdom of both the forelcn and domestic policies nf Ma Administration, which arcs add ing constantly to the high reputation t perlty of the people at heme." Iowa. Third District, Republican platform. t HAMPTON. Ia., Sept 25.-Judge B. P. Blrdsall, of Clarion, la., "was today nominated for Congress by the Third dis trict Republican convention, to succeed Speaker D. B. Henderson, who declined a renomlnatlon. The nomination was made on the second ballot by a vote of SS to 26 for C. A. Ransler. of Buchanan. The report of the committee on resolutions adopted by the convention was as fol lows "We the representatives of the Repub licans of tho Third Congressional Dis trict of Iowa heartily indorse the plat form of principles adopted by the late Republican state convention at Des Moines. We deny that the Dlngley tariff breeds and shelters trusts. We Interpret the tariff plank In the Des Moines platform of 1S02 to be nearly a reiteration of and to mean no more than tho St Louis plank of 1896, which recited: 'We arc not pledged to any particular "schedules. The -question of Tates Is a practical o.uestlon to be governed by the conditions of the times and pf produc tion. The ruling and uncompromising principle Is the protection and develop ment of American labor and Industry.' "We cordially recognize and earnestly commend the patriotic fervor of Presi dent Roosevelt and the wisdom of both the foreign and domestic policies of his Administration, which are adding con stantly to the high reputation of the Nation abroad and the prosperity of the people at home. "We most earnestly regret the decli nation of the renomlnatlon which the Republicans of this district for the 11th time unanimously tendered the Hon. D. B. Henderson. No official has been more anxous to kep In touch with, and faith fully represent the well-considered judg ment of his constituents than has Colonel Henderson during all the long years of his Congressional career. We have faith In his patriotism, and In his personal and political. Integrity. We are conscious of his great mental power and ability. We realize his superb leadership and com manding influence In Governmental af fairs, and believe his withdrawal means a great loss to the people." Judge Blrdsall Is about 45 years old. The only office he has ever held Is the judgeship of the District Court, which he resigned a year ago to resume the prac tice of law In Clarion. AS VIEWED BY LITTLEFIELD. Henderson's Declination Will Have No Effect Outside of Iowa. COUNCIL BLUFFS, la., Sept. 25. Representative Littlefield, of Maine, passed through this city this afternoon en route to San Francisco, where, after a few days rest, he will begin a cam paign of the Pacific States under the direction of the National Republican Congressional Committee. When asked to give his opinion of tho effect of the withdrawal of Speaker Hen derson from the race from the Third Iowa district, Mr. Littlefield stated that outside of the State of Iowa he thought there would be no appreciable effect. Asked of the rumor that he was to be a candidate jtor Speaker of the House to succeed Mr Henderson, he .said he was an avowed candidate with very flattering prospects. THE DEATH ROLL.
