though It probably will be the first of
the coming year before th. final state
tax levy at mad. up. It la safe to state
the levy will not exceed two mills and
may be a shade undrr that amount. Bas
ing this on sn estimated valuation of
ts3D.rtio.00O. the two-mill tax will raise Jl.
6tV.K for stste purpose.
This Is a decrease, In th. state levy
from Inst year of two-tenth, of a mill,

sioner Galloway says the odd years havo
been productive of a greater amount
from taxation than tbe even years, ac
cording to the reports of the Stat. Board
of equalization.
' The levy of two re Ills for 111 will be
lees than for any years of the past five
vears. save In IMS. when It waa a trifle
ieasi than two mills, euid there Is a possi
bility that it wU go eveo lower for 1SI1
than for when the final figures are
niada up. but Commissioner Galloway de
clares, with assurance, that It will not be
higher than two mills. As a comparison
showing the conditions during th. past
five years and tbe ratio of the taxes
raised, assessed valuation and the levies
for the vartoue years, a table is append
ed. The assessed valuation for the year
previous In each case Is used as th. basis
for the state tax snd levy.
The assessed valuation for 111. esti
mated at tXaXOW.OOu 1 more than two and
one-halt times greater than five years,

Ordinance) Prohibiting Buildings
More Than 160 et High Pasa
dena Man Might Get Permit.
Hulett C. Menitt. the Pasadena mil
lionaire, will not be able to erect bis
proposed 20-story office building In Port
land unless he can get a special permit
from tl.e City Council. He will face a
situation here very much like that which
confronted him in Los Angeles, where
his petition for a special permit was de
nied yesterday by the Council by a vote
of ( to 1.
The new Portland building code, which
will take effect at the beginning of 19U.
restricts the height of structures of every
character, excepting church spires, water
towers, shot towers and smokestacks, to
1(0 feet. It Is much more drastic In Its
provisions than the Los Angeles ordi
nance, according to Horace E. Plummer.
City Building Inspector, who says the
Southern California city Is really liberal
In building matters when modern con
struction conditions are considered.
"Our present building ordinance fixes
SnO feet ss the limit for height," said Mr.
Plummer yesterday. 'The new ordinance
reduces this to KO feet and requires that
no building shall be mora than 13 atorles
high.
"Of course, there will always be two
parties to contend as to whether tbe
height of buildings should be restricted.
Persons of esthetic tendencies believe
that skyscrapers are an abomination, and
they would not only suppress them but
would also enforce some requirements as
to styles- of srchltecture. Then there Is
a great body of persons who declare that
a man should be permitted to erect on
his own property a building as high as
he chooses to make It.
"For my part. I believe that it Is de
sirable to place some limitations on th.
height of buildings. The only valid argu
ment In favor of a 30-story ofllce build
ing Is tliat It would advertise the city In
which It might be placed. There Is no
demand for such high buildings In Port
land, and the fact that our streets are
narrow Is reason enough against them.
With a few blocks of such structures Un
Ini our nsrrow streets the congestion at
certain hours would be a most serious
problem.
it l within the power of the Council
to suspend the balldlng ordinance and
grant a permit for such a hiniamg as
Mr. Merrilt proposes. At present -the
Pasadena man does not own ground on
wh.i h such a atructure could be erected.
but there are plenty of sites to be pur
chased. When he visited Portland about
a year ago. Mr. Merrltt purchased 1 23.000
of bonds of the Trustee Company on the

KLAMATH FALLS OVERRUN

KLAMATH FALLS, Or., Dec. . 21.
(Special.) Klamath Falls Is overrun
Just now wltb petty thieves and crooks
of all kinds. The city has had an av
erage of one forgery case a week here
for the past several weeks and there
Is not a day but there are resorts of
something hsvlng been stolen. yes
terday a Mexican was arrested for the
theft 01 two Cues; aawa wnicn ne aataj
he stole to get something on which
to eat. He was given a 30-day sentence
In Jail by Justice Miller. After sentenc
ing the Mexican. Judge Miller said:
I am not in favor of giving such fellows
as that a Jail sentence- I believe that many
of tbem are simply committing petty thiev
ery to get free boarf! for awhile. I think
tbe best way to handle that sort is to ttke
them down to tbs railroad track and give
them notice ta.move on. We have no rock
pile and cannot work such fellows on the
streets or on publlo works and a few weeks
or months Jail Just suits them. There they
xet passably good grub and have nothing
to do but eat and fatten up where they are
kept warm and comfortable during the
Winter months. For this reason they do not
care If they are caught In their pilfering
so they can be sent od for a while. I
would be In favor of a law that would give
the authorities a light to gather In all such
fellows and give them a severe threshing
and then Invite them to move out of tbe
town.
TRIBUNE IS INTERESTING
Annual Number of Jewish Publica
tion Is Meritorious.
In the Issue of the seventh annual
number of the Jewish Tribune, pub
lished by David K. Mosessohn, appear
interesting; articles on Jewish life, re
ligion, customs and education, contrib
uted by leading Jews of the country.

Congress of Liberal Religions,", from
the pen of Rev. William Rosenau, of
Baltimore. Rev. Stephen S. Wise, of
New York, formerly of the Temple Beth
Israel. Portland, has an article on "The
Jew In Russia." Other contributors
well known in Jewisb circles are Rev.
Maurice II. Harris, of New York: Abra
ham S. Schomer, of New York: Dr.
Abrara Simon, of Washington, D. C
George A. Kohut, of New Yorjt: Dr.
Isidore Myers, of Los Angeles; Albert
Lucas, of New York; Edward N. Weln
bau and Rabbi Harry Weiss, of Ma

interest to Portland residents.
WOMEN HAVE JURY RIGHT
Vancouver Faces Problem, May
Have to DraW New List.
VANCOUVER. Wash., Dec. a. (Spe
cial.) The question of whether the Jury
list for the January term of court will
be legal, because of the omission of the
names of all women voters in Clark
County, ie one that will likely be solved.
According to law, every one who is
entitled to be on a Jury list has a right
to have his name on tbe Jury list. The
lurv list for January was made out be
fore the fact waa known that women were
voters and were eligible to serve on
Juries. If the question is pressed by the
women. It may be that they will have the
Jury list declared Illegal and have a
new list prepared.
But the women of Vancouver are not
anxious, anoarently. to vote, because not
one offered to register for the recent
election, although they did in Camas,
where 138 registered within two days.
The outcome will be waited with Interest.

comedienne from the Orpheum, and Miss
Grace Cameron, the comic opera star

Delicately formed and gently reared, women
will find, in all the seasons of their lives, as
maidens, wives or mothers, that the one simple,
wholesome remedy which acts gently and
pleasantly and naturally, and which may be
used with truly beneficial effects, under. any
conditions, when the system needs a laxative,
is Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna. It is
well known to be a simple combination of the
laxative and carminative principles of plant3
with pleasant aromatic liquids, which are
agreeable and refreshing to the taste, and
acceptable to the system when its gentle
cleansing is desired.
Only those who buy the genuine Syrup of
Figs and Elixir of Senna can hope to get its
beneficial effects, and as a guarantee of the
excellence of the remedy, the full name of the
company Calif omia Fig Syrup Go. is printed
on the front of every package, and without it
any preparation offered as Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of Senna is fraudulent and should be
declined. To those who know the quality of
this excellent laxative, the offer of any substi
tute, when Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna
is called for, is always resented by a transfer
of patronage to some first-class drug establish
ment, where they do not recommend, nor sell
false brands, nor imitation remedies. The genu
ine article may be bought of all reliable drug
gists everywhere; one size only. Regular
price ou cents per bottle. Get a bottle
