Tho Orogoiiluii Monday has the fol lowing story concerning tho appropri ation to bo iwidn liy Oregon for tho i'anama exhibit: "Tho consensus of opinion unioni; tho members of tho Multnomah dele gation to tho next Oregon legislature seems to bo that $.100,000 In entirely too much for the peoplo of tho slate to Invent In their exhibit a.t tho Pnnamu l'acllle exposition at Sim Francisco In 11111, Opinions as to tho proper amount lo b appropriated for that purpose range from tho half million proponed by Senator Jowph to $150, 000, tho amount proponed by Dr. Wood of Wauhlngtop county, who wan In tho t H y yoHterdny and Joined In tho pro text against tho larger amount.

I think $110,000 would be about right and as much as we can afford." John It. Intouretto representatlve oloct, Bald: "Five hundred thousand dollars Is entirely too much. I am heartily In favor of Oregon's making a goood showing, but Bhe Hhould bo adequately represented on a whole lot less than half a million." "I should nay, In rough figures, that $?10,000 to $1100,000 would be enough," said (lus C. Mower, reprcsentatlve eleet. "The fair Is peculiarly a Pacific coast production, and $10,000 more or less, If It Is needed, will make but lit tle difference In the taxes. We Bhould nmko tho best kind of a showing, hut wo Hhould bo able to make It on con siderably less than $100,000." David K. liofgren, one of the new representatives from Multnomah coun ty, believes that the legislature. Hhould consider tho matter of appropriations carefully, and thinks $100,000 Is really loo much to take from tho public purse for tho purpose. Ho favors, If possible, having realty boards and those who aro to reap direct and Im mediate benellts from Oregon's adver tising at the fair make some extraor dinary contributions other than what they will pay In taxi. Hlgnllj' of State Mentioned. "Of course," said Mr. Ixifgren, "they aro not likely to do this, but they should for they are tho fellows that will benefit first of all. Perhaps It will tie iMisslble io encourage a rivalry among tho various dlstrUDs of the state la making their own exhibits. However, tho state Hhould make a lib eral appropriation, and we should not, merely to Have a small amount of money, allow Oregon to make an In ferior showing." "1 am willing to vote for as much of an appropriation as on careful Inves tigation appears necessary for Oregon to be properly represented," mild Con rad P. Olson, reprewentJitlvo-elei't, "but i.tMiand 1 think $100,000 is more than Is necessary, "Wo must consider tho fact that sov eral matters are to come up Involving the expenditure of money In addition to tho regular budget for state ex penses. Thorn Is tho employers' lia bility net. which, If It Is enacted, wl'l mi an a coushlerublo out How from tho Iruisury; money must bo appropriat ed for the maintenance of the Htato liulverslty, and If a "blue Rky' law passes It will entail tho creation of a new bureau or added expense In tho operation of some of thooxlstlng state olllces. There will probably he appro I rlatlons for road building, too, anil all these extraordinary expenditures should give us pauso In considering Theatre... Theatre how much we should spend at San Francisco." Seattle's Expenditure Recalled. C. A. Applegren, another of the new members of tho house from Multno mah, said: "I believo that we should make a good showing, certainly, but I don't believe we should lose our heads In tho matter of appropriating money tor tlu'puriiose. Wo spent $121,000 at Seattle, and allowing for the Increased Importance of the fair at San Fran cisco, I think twice that amount of $110,000, should be plenty." .lay II. Upton, representative-elect believes wt'.h tho others that $100,000 Is too ambitious a sum. "Wo must make a showing commensurate with cur ability," he said, "but I believe we enn present our state's resources, and advantages In a good light without stretching our finances to tJint ex tent ' Oregon should have a creditable exhibit," said C. N. McArthur, pros pective speaker of tho house, "but I am not prepared to announco the max imum amount for which I will vote, for tho reason Hint I deslro to make further Inquiry and to determine the approximate cost of a good building and an exhibit of our resources. I be lieve, however, that $100,000 is more than wo can afford. Oregon made a good showing at the Alaska-Yukon-Paclflc exposition with $121,000, biit as San Francisco Is much further nwny than Sentie and as tho Pnnnma- Paclflc will bo larger and of longer duration, a large sum will be needed. I should say, off-hand, that $200,000 ought to be enough." Joseph "Stands Tut" Senator Joseph, who proposed to In troduce a bill calling for an appropri ation of $100,000, simply "stands pat," declaring that tho stae cannot spend that amount of money to better advan tage thnn In exploiting Oregon's re sources and advantages nt tho great fair. Senator Milton A. Miller, who has hnd 14 years' experience In tho Ore gon legislature, with ono term In the house and threo In the sennte, said last night: "I believe Oregon should appropriate enough to make a credit able exhibit of her resources and pro ducts. It will ho tho biggest show the world has ever Been nnd will bo the means of drawing mora people to the Fnclflc coast than any event that has ever taken place. Oregon should avail herself of this splendid opportunity to show her sister stages and the world her splendid resources nnd advantages Oregon's greatest need to day Is peo ple. We have everything else, and we inn attract thousands to make homes In oud state by doing ourselves Justice at San Francisco."

Councilman Rlgdon was placed In the chair, and It was voted to consider each item separately. Several changes In the budget from the figures previ ously published were made. Mayor Lachmund initiated the first discussion on the proposed figures which was over the salaries of police men. The budget named the salaries of six patrolmen at $5400, the same amount paid during 1912. The mayor said that, In view of the high cost of living, he did not consldor It possible for a man to keep his family on, $75 a month and offered an amendment changing the salaries of the patrolmen to $85 a month. The amendment failed. Firemen Are liaised. The mayor, however, was successful in offering an amendment Increasing the amount proposed for the salaries of firemen, The sum of $10,540 was named In the budget. This was auto matically changed to $10,740 by the or dinance bill, which had previously passed Increasing the salaries of hose men. Mayor Lachmund offered to amend the estimate, making the fig ures $11,160, Increasing tho salaries of the regular firemen to $75 a month, nnd that of the chief to $00. -Mayor Lnchmund said he snw no reason why a fireman should not receive as much as a policeman, since ho had to work practically three days In mo. Through Alderman Ilrown the bud get for the maintenance of the public library was changed from $4200 to $4, 500. Alderman Ilrown explained that the membership of the library has Jumped to 7344 members, and that the increased amount could be used to great advantage. Major Not Expensive. Mayor Lachmund succeeded in re ducing tho proposed amount of $250 for expenses of the mayor's office. Dr. Steeves, mayor-elect, had asked that the amount bo left at $250, because it was his Intention to use a stenogra pher In office more thnn has been cus tomary heretofore. Mayor Lachmund said that this would be possible with an appropriation of $150, explaining that In each yenr of his administration the expenses of his office hnd been under $100, Through a motion by Alderman Jones It was voted to eliminate the office of poundmiiBter, for which a salary of $100 was proposed, and to substitute the office of police matron Instead, at a salary of $600. "It Is more Important to save a young girl than to save a dog," said Mr. Jones. Another Fire Auto Wanted. Against furious opposition on the part of Mayor Lnchmund nnd others, the budget amount of $9000 set aside for a combination auto hose and pump er for the fire department was allowed to stand. It was argued that $7500 would tnke care of this need. Those who favored the measure said that the condition of the horse engines of the department warrant the Betting aside of the amount. Councilman Lafky wns responsible f rothe Increasing of the estimate for street machinery from $100 to $1500. From $9000, tho nmount designated for bcldges wns Increased to $10,000, with the consent of tho finance com mittee. This wns lrrgely the result of the argument in favor of the Liberty street bridge construction. While no definite amount was named to take care of the bridge It was agreed that the extra $1000 might be used, if the Incoming council saw fit, to construct concrete abutments to the bridge. Al dermand Waring nnd Mayor lach mund desired a sum of $1000 or $1500 set aside specifically for that purpose. The mayor mnde a motion to thnt ef fect, which wns lost SPLENDID TRADE SHOWS THE GENERAL HtOSl'ERITY According to the staetment mnde this morning by James McEvoy, one of the proprietors of the Chicago Store, the business of the dry goods firm has beeu larger this year than at any time for the same period since its establishment.
