"r it r if j i : - I ( l ! r i I If f I tit ' M JUST YOU HEAR IT! m i mmmgmn After pruning every item in the budget, even to the point of curtailing some essentials, the city council is faced with the necessity of holding: all emergency appropriations during 1920 to approximately 1150.000. Th usual sum withheld to meet emergencies is $200,000, and it was hoped that this amount could be held in reserve for next year. However, the necessity for increas- i ing the wages of city employes, giving the firemen and policemen an increase of $15 a month, made it essential to! cut the emergency fund. j Members of the city council yester- day concluded most of the work of j compiling the budget. Usually the council has three weeks in which to ! study and prepare the budget, but because of the lack of funds and the I necessity of holding an election, the time allotted for the consideration of; the budget was reduced to five days. Items Are Reconsidered. Friday night the council members found it necessary to reconsider many departments which had already been gone over, in the hope that something might be discovered which could be trimmed and thus yield more revenue , for necessities. I Figures show that . the council trimmed approximately $190,000 from the budget requests, which totaled in materials and supplies $861,699.92. Personal service, which includes the salaries of all city employes, was in creased, although the exact figures are not yet available. The requests for personal service in the budget totaled $2,655,350.92. To this amount was added approximately $200,000 to care for the salary increases. Had the emergency fund been allowed to re main at $200,000 the salary increases would have been lower than those granted. Tea .Dollars Monthly Rise Permitted. According to City Commissioner Pier, the increases decided upon will allow about $10 a month increase for the average city employe. Under the proposed salary ordinance, some will be given more than this, and others less, but under a readjustment now being worked out. Commissioner Pier feels that, the average city em ploye will be satisfied with the action to be taken by the council. Delegations representing the police and fire bureaus appeared before the city council yesterday and protested against the action of the council in giving these men no more than a $15 increase. Representatives from both departments contended that this was not sufficient to satisfy the men. Mayor Baker explained to the del egations that the council had given the subject much thought, work and discussion, and that the council was HOI BUimucu. rnjwevi ll " amu 1 1 1 i. i the city had reached the limit in the funds available and hence could do no better. Two-1111 Levy Big Help. Chief Deputy Auditor Grutze and members of the city auditor's force worked through the most of the night and will work throughout the day in an effort to prepare the budget for the public hearing to be held at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Members of the council have agreed upon the amounts for the various items in each department, but it is necessary to ex tend all such items, total them and prepare a general budget showing the proposed expenditures, together with the estimated receipts for the city for 1920. The work of the budget committee proves beyond doubt the justification of the special 2-mill levy. Without this levy it is certain that large de creases in both the forces of the va rious departments and in the plans for carrying on the work for next year would have been necessary. Forty 31 en Added to Police Force. The passage of the measure has made it possible for the council to provide new equipment for the police bureau, make an addition of 40 men to the uniformed division of the police department, grant a minimum in crease of wages to city employes, re establish the free employment service, provide some additional men to the department of public works to pre pare the plans and specifications for the large improvement programme contemplated for 1920, provide for some street lights where most needed and also continue the operation of othr oil v srvif rn rrnt- obttva basts as was the case'during the pres ent year. Unless the strictest economy is prac ticed through 1920, an economy which may even deprive the city, of some of the essentials, the city will face a severe financial stringency. Members of the council realize this and have agreed that not a penny will be expended from the city treasury during the year that is not absolutely necessary. A8 S a memorial to Lieutenant Ros- well Doscii, former member of the faculty of the University of Oregon, who lost his life while in the service, a bronze statue is to be erected soon on the campus at Ku- ) gene.

Lucas, state representa tive, said yesterday that, though pre viously opposed to a special session of the legislature because of its ex pense, he now favored a special ses sion to strengthen the statute against radicalism. , He said, however, that he had been unable to understand why the peace officers of the state had not availed themselves of the criminal syndicalism act passed by the last legislature. D. V. Morthland, state senator, said ho thoughf'the present situation re quires federal rather than state gov ernment. The best thing to do." he said, "is to let the governor bring the national guard of the state up to a point where it can deal effectively with any emergency. He has ample authority and financial resources to deal with the present situation. the opera have been going on for several months and Roberto Corruc cini, musical director and conductor, says that everything is ready for the curtain to rise.

Frank Hopkins, sentenced yester day to 120 days by Municipal Judge nuHhman 10 De curea or the morphine habit, made his escape from the po lice yesterday while they had him on a trip to Chinatown to point out sellers of the drug. L. Dowling, who said he had been an employer of Hopkins and knew him well, prevailed upon the judge to give the man a chance, declaring he knew Hopkins to be a man that could be trusted. So the judge started in by giving him a chance to show the police where he had purchased the drug. When Hopkins drew near a familiar Chinese establishment he bolted and was seen no more. Return of war conditions i.n guard ing business property was forecast yesterday at the closing session of the northwest building owners and managers, meeting at the Portland hotel, when David Whitcomb of Se attle urged that all owners and man agers of office property take imme diate steps to protect their struc tures from possible destruction by I. W. W. and other radicals. Word had been received from Seat tle, he declared, that revolutionists there had threatened to blow up sev eral of the office buildings as an "example," and immediate steps are to be taken to protect the property. Other building owners and man agers concurred in Mr. Whitcomb's sentiments and expressed their de termination to safeguard their prop erty. Seattle -ext Meeting Place. Seattle will be the next meeting place for the northwest conference, it was decided. While no organization of northwest building owners and managers was formed as a result of the conference here, it was deter mined to hold freauent informal meet ings of the various associations in the different northwest cities. It was decided to invite the California own ers and managers to participate in the spring conference in Seattle. The session of the building owners ind managers, who had come from Seattle. Tacoma. Vancouver, B. C, and -'pokane. closed yesterday afternoon with a tour of the Columbia highway nd a dinner at Crown Point. The onference had extended over "Friday rid Saturday. Half of the visitors ayed to witness the opening of the ;icific International Livestock ex- osition.

ITorton of Se attle on "Service Charges" and Charles S. Holbrook of this city on "Educating Tenants to Standards." Hlchrr Rental Predicted. The closing luncheon and informal discussion of rental problems were held yesterday noon at the Portland hotel. Robert H. Strong of this city. manager of the Corbett estate busi ness properties, and David Whitcomb, manager of the Arcade building in Seattle, led the discussion. Mr. Strong predicted higher build ing rentals, stating that the increases thus far made had scarcely taken care of the increases in overhead expenses. The increased value of the properties, through the rising cost of construc tion, should be capitalized in the future bv higher rentals, he stated He pointed out that building costs had increased since pre-war days about 80 per cent. At the present time rentals are not high enough to insure safety in erecting new buildings, he stated, while the demand for office space is increasing at the rate of pbout 10 per cent a year. Rentals in Portland had increased during the last three or four years from 12 to 20 per cent on the average, he said. 3 PLAYS Ff ALL RKCORDS fc? AT THEIR 1IKST w BpeffBWWii mm .ii i-f , "i x' i - s .

Mental Work Needs a Stomach Great Mistake to Imagine You Can Work Better and Faster on the Starvation Plan Eat What You Like but Follow With Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. Mental work uses up energy fast. And energy comes from food. To eat little or nothing in order to do more work is a fallacy that has created an army of dyspeptics. A better plan' is to eat the regular portions of food siren as to make up the average meal and follow each meal with Stuart's yfpepsia Tablets. You will then get a double benefit energy from food and sociability with meals, for as a rule, the light eater, or those who skip meals, get into a bad habit, a rut. of hermit-like isola tion. Do not be afraid of gassiness, sour stomach, heartburn, heavy feel ing or coard tongue after meals. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets arouse the stomach to secrete the juices neces sary to relieve these troubles that so frequently distress the mental work er. They contain harmless ingredients which act with an alkaline effect, so you may eat the rich things of the banquet or the savory eausage for breakfast with utmost freedom. Get a 50-cent box of Stuart's Dys pepsia Tablets at any drug store, eat freely of what you like and you will ao more ana oetter worn than on a Preparations for . presentation of akimpy diet. Try this plan. Adv, g Are Dangerous DR. PARKER. GUMS that bleed easily when the teeth are brushed or a toothpick is used are a sign of pyorrhea, and pyorrhea is a very dangerous disease. It eats under the gums along the tooth roots, sets up inflamma tion and causes a poisonous pus to form. Some of this pus is absorbed in the blood, and is the direct cause of rheumatism, lum bago, neuralgia; liver, heart, kidney and blood diseases. Some of the pus is swal lowed with food and leads to serious stom ach and digestive disorders. . Pyorrhea, if neglected, causes the teeth to become loose and eventually they are lost. Very many people have pyorrhea probably 60 out of every 100. It is a disease that can be largely controlled and sometimes cured. Registered Dentists using the E. R. Parker System treat many cases of pyorrhea, and have much success in controlling it. If your gums are not firm and healthy, if they bleed easily and have a bluish red color, and you are not feeling very well, you are invited to call at any of the offices using the E. R. Parker System and have your teeth examined free. It is high time to look after both your teeth and your health. Registered Dentists Using the E.R.PARKER SYSTEM mm Dr. A. D. Cage Dr. A. B.
