Actual 1950-51 expenditures will be higher than those provided in the 1949-50 budget because of in creased enrollment requiring added teachers and facilities, said Barne burg. However, be .Minted out, the tax levy will be lower because the basic school fund from income tax funds wiU be about 1133.000 great er. The income to the schools from county land sales also is greatly increased. The anticipated revenue for the coming year is $1,213,320.75, com pared with $774,640.74 of the cur rent year. The amount to be raised by taxation will be $1,243,987.17, , of which only $414,859.73 is inside the six percent limitation. The 1949-50 budget required $1,456,300.48 to be raised by taxation. Of this latter amount, $391,377.10 was in side and $1,064,923.38 outside the six percent limitation. The exact millage rate will not be known until assessments ara completed, but the rate should be considerably lower than the 32.6 mill levy of the current year. This is accounted for by greater receipts and increased assessed values of property.

I wonder what modern business men would do without this "meeting" system. I'm afraid we'd be up a stump. Really, though, you can learn a lot at these meetings that present-day business sets so much store by if you keep your ears open and listen. You're almost sure to meet somebody who knows more than you do. After alt, listen ing to somebody who knows more than you do is the best possible way to gain knowledge.

M'Kay By Truman Explained SALEM, May 10 P Governor Douglas McKay telephones from Kalispell, Mont., today that he can't get o Pendletoi. in time to meet President Truman late today. He said he is unable to make plane connections. The governor said he is going on to Spokane with Secretary of the Interior Chapman and Secretary of Agri culture Brannan. The governor's secretary, Thom as Lawson McCall, said in a speech in Klamath Falls yesterday that the President was guilty of a "de liberate affront" in failing to in vite McKay to meet him at Pendle ton. McCall said today that E. B. Aldrich, Pendleton publisher who is in charge of the reception for the President, phoned the governor Monday to invite him to meet the President. McCall said that call came only 11 hours before the governor left for Kalispell to attend a meeting of the Columbia basin inter-agency committee. He said it was too late then to change tha governor's plans, v. .r.,. . - - ---- McCall said this invitation was extended only after the president's party realized its mistake, but that the invitation only "compounded the error." The governor, in talking to news reporters several times last week, complained bitterly that the Presi dent "snubbed" both himself and the people of Oregon by failing to invite the governor. He charged it up to "politics," since he and the President are of opposite poli tical faiths. Governor McKay, however, told reporters that his complaints about being "snubbed" were off the rec ord. That's why nothing was heard about it until McCall made his speech at Klamath Falls.

In urging that businessmen of the area be informed of their need for the chamber of commerce, Flegel said "some confusion exists concerning what is construed as 'their city. This phrase includes all the busi ness within Roseburg and all the outlying areas," he said. "We know that it is vitally nec essary to have a central point, a spearhead so to apeak, or a cam paign headquarter, in order that any type of plan can be made effective. We need our chamber to help in the overall community picture. A city council, a county, court, a planning commission or a park commission can work more effectively with the aid of a mil itant chamber," the mayor em phasized. The mayor reminded the .Irive workers that there are "a thou sand excuses for not joining" the chamber of commerce. "Take none of them," he said. But, he urged the workers to have "some knowl edge of the purposes and activi ties of the organization he or she is urging membership in." How ever, the mayor asked the workers to refrain from political argu ments, such as the airport issue. He called upon the workers to show the business people how the chamber can assist them m many ways maybe for better school (Continued on page Two) Fire Sweeps 2nd Quebec Town; Damage $4 Million CABANO.
