TAX ACTS DISLIKED
IS. VAUGHN IS PRAISED
ULIAST TLVCLB rRGES YOUNG MA
TRONS TO HEAR LECTURES.
Demonstrator Wbo Will Give Series of
Talks at Old HelUn- Theater Is
Declared Expert.
BY LILIAN TINGLE.
Is "fried chicken" just fried chicken
to. you. or do you know the difference
between Maryland chicken, Virginia
chicken and Tennessee chicken? Or is
fried chicken Just a golden brown
dream, anyway, because of the high
cost of living? Whatever your state
of knowledge may be in regard to
chicken and many other things, you
probably can add to it, if you choose,
by listening to Mrs. Kate Vaughn, who
has not only her special skill and
knowledge of Southern cookery to im
part, but also has a wide experience
with economic problems and a keen
Interest in everything bearing upon
home efficiency. Mrs. Vaughn arrived
in Portland Saturday night and will
speak to women every afternoon this
week, beginning today, at the old Heilig
Theater.
"I am specially interested in the
younger women and their problems,"
Mrs. Vaughn told me, "and I want par
ticularly to help the mothers of young
children." She went on to tell me of
her recent success in Boise, Idaho,
where she has just concluded a series
of lectures on cookery and home prob
lems. There was a large attendance of
young mothers whose children were
cared for by the playground supervisor
of the city schools.
"We have a question box for those
who are too diffident to ask what they
want to know; but in Boise the women
were so friendly and interested that
they just spoke right up in that crowded
theater as if they were chatting in their
own homes." Perhaps Mrs. Vaughn's
charming personality and soft Southern
tongue may have had something to do
with the friendliness of her audience.
- "What do you find the women moBt
interested in?" I asked. "Budget mak
ing and studies in spending and house
hold economy seem to interest most of
the younger women," she said. "In
fact, there is a most encouraging de
sire on the part of the younger genera
tion of housewives to study the busi
ness of administering the household
finances and to realize the importance
and dignity of the profession of home
making. But there is also great inter
est' in new recipes, though I find an
increasing demand for knowledge of
'why rather than '.how in cooking. Of
course, 1 try to.-glve them both.
'What would you do with this ques
tion, which was given me in Seattle?"
Mrs. Vaughn asked me in . turn. "A
woman wrote, 'Please give me menus
for meals for my husband. He does not
like meats, eggs, cereals, vegetables or
desserts, but he likes great attention
to be paid to cooking nice things and
is fond of little surprises.' "
I don't know what Mrs. Vaughn sug
gested, but I know he'd get big "sur
prises" if I had tP cook for him.
Mrs. Vaughn's experience in lectures
and demonstrations not only include
work among the women's clubs of Penn
sylvania and New York, Chautauqua;
work in Illinois and Indiana, and agri
cultural demonstration, trains in the
South, but she recently had the honor
of camping with 48 Boy Scouts (includ
ing twin 14-year-old sons of her own),
to whom she gave instructions and tests
of efficiency in camp cookery. The boys
were Just as keen with their questions
as any audience of housekeepers.
Asking about her lectures for tlie com
ingyWeek I was told of a prize compe
tition in connection with the Tuesday
lecture. A beautifully decorated cake
will be presented to the woman who
hands in the best selection of 10 help
ful points in the lecture.
Mrs. Vaughn will give lectures every
afternoon this week from 2:30 to 5 in
the old Heilig Theater on Eleventh
street, and I think that "come early and
orten" is good advice to the beginning
housekeeper.
Sellwood Gathering Opposes
Many Ballot Measures.
SPECIAL FIGHT ON LEVIES
LIBRARY DAY IS ARRANGED
Stanfield Board Will Entertain Vis
itors and Receive Book Donations.'
STAN F I KI.I Or.. Oct. 18. (Special .1
November 21 is to be observed in
Stanfield as library day. The Library
Board has laid plans for the occasion,
and will especially entertain all visitors
that day.
Opportunity will also be given the
people or town and country to donate
books. The books so donated will not
become part of the county library, but
will be the nucleus of a strictly Stan
field library and remain the property
oi tne community.
The Library Board, appointed by th'
Mayor, James M. Kyle, consists of G. L
Hurd. president: Mrs. Florence B. Con
nor, secretary; Mrs. J. M. Richards. Mrs-
Frank iMoan, .sirs, ueorge C. Coe and
Thomas Richards.
Diplomats Honor Late King.
LONDON. Oct. 18. The American
Ambassador. Walter Hines Page, with
the French. Japanese. Russian, Italian
and Spanish Ambassadors and others
of the diplomatic corps, attended a re
quiem mass for the late King Charles
of Roumaina at the Greek Church to
day. King George was represented by
Baron Sandhurst, the Lord Chamberlain.
Speakers in General Declare Amend
ments Pat to Vote Are Vreaks
and Menaces Water-front
Change Assailed.
It was the expressed opinion of a
large gathering of men and women tax
payers at the Sellwood Y. M. C. A.
Saturday night that 90 per cent of the
measures and amendments on the bal
lot for November 3 are "freak" experi
ments and menaces to the development
of the state.
Special opposition was focalized on
all the tax measures, new commission
ers, new offices, the dental bill, abol
ishment of the Senate, lending credit
of the state to the amount of 4 per
cent of the taxable property, the $1500
tax exemption, the waterfront measure
and any measure that tends to create
more taxation. It was an open forum
for all taxpayers.
H. M. Huff, president of the Sellwood
Board of Trade, as chairman, submitted
ail the measures to the meeting. The
public docks and waterfront measure
was declared by Attorney La Force to
be confiscation of property and in vio
lation of the Constitution of the United
States. The eight-hour law was gener
ally condemned, only one man speaking
for the measure. The women con
demned this measure.
Tax Measures Disliked.
Practically all the tax measures were
condemned by the speakers as experi
ments, untried and dangerous and con
flicting. Consolidation of city and coun
ty was favored. Creation of the office
of Lieutenant-Governor, Increasing the
pay of the members of the Legislature
and the President of the Senate, indus
try and public works, assembly reor
ganization of certain state offices, all
tax commissions and tax measures were
condemned.
'I am opposed to the abolition of the
State Senate for the reason it would
leave the state without any check
against hasty legislation," said John
W. Campbell. "The Senate is a check
on the House and the House is a check
on the Senate, and to remove either
would leave no protection against ill
advised legislation.
Initiative Weakness Seen.
"The weakness of the initiative law
is that it gives us measures that are
not well considered, and which cannot
be amended and for which we must
vote in their present form. With one
House we would be without any pro
tection against hasty measures. It
would be exceedingly bad, in my Judg
ment, to abolish the Senate."
Dr. R. V. Hill and Dr. S. W. Stryker
pointed out the danger of the dental
bill, and said it would throw down the
bars to all incompetents in the United
States. Dr. Stryker said that if Oregon
passed the dental bill it would be pos
sible to purchase certificate of gradu
ates and use them in this state. The
bill had no friends in the meeting.
915O0 Amendment Fought.
The $1500 tax exemption measure was
generally condemned.
A. F. VV all. a merchant of Sellwood,
declared that the measure had a few
ood features about it, but in its pres
ent form he could not vote for it.
"Practically all these measures con
sidered here," said Mr. Wall, "are to
Increase the burden of the taxpayers
n some form or other, either creating
new offices or new expenses. It does
seem that something should be done to
relieve the growing burdens on the
taxpayers in this state without enact
ing more measures and piling more bur
dens on their shoulders.
The tax for the re-establishment of
the normal schools at Weston and Ash
land had considerable support. The bill
authorizing credit for development pur
poses up to 4 per cent of the assessed
value of the state was declared by J. F.
Kertchem and others to be dangerous.
The graduated tax measure proposed
by H. D. Wagnon and others was held
up as a menace to the development of
the state. H. M. Huff, J. F. Kertchem
and others said that it would drive
capital out of Oregon and discourage
investments in manufacturing enterprises.

BUDGET COMMITTEE TO CONSIDER
SALARIES TODAY. -
Work of Estimating City's Expenses
to Be Finished This Week
Great Redaction Made.
Increases In salaries of firemen and
Are officials will be the principal topic
of discussion at the session this after
noon of the City Commission, sitting in
the capacity of a committee to consider
the budget of proposed municipal ex
penditures for 1915. 'The question of
salaries of firemen has not been con
sidered up to this time.
Under the system employed in the
past firemen have started In at $30 a
month. At the' end of the first year's
service they have been increased to $90
a month and at the end of the second
year to the maximum salary of firemen,
$100 a month. The city's efficiency
code provides for an increase of $5 a
month at the end of every six months.
Mayor Albee baa recommended all the
increases in accordance with the code.
Among the fire department officers
asking for increases Is Fire Chief Dow-
ell, who is scheduled for $3120, as com
pared with his present salary of $3000
a year.
It Is expected the Council will com
plete consideration of the budget tMs
week. Last week the estimates were
cut $111,213 at three sessions. The
largest bureaus of the service are to
be considered this week.
The' Council, at the beginning, aimed
to. reduce expenses to hold the tax levy
down to at least 7 mills. As the cuts
so far made have brought the levy
down practically to that point, it la ex
pected tne work of this week will re
duce the levy to the lowest point re
corded in several years.

Land Prodacta Managers to Give Fur-
nltnre to Couple Who Agree to
Bay Only Oregon Apples.
A wedding In which the principals
and the officating 'minister shall be na.
tive Oregonians and the nuptial gifts
shall be a veritable avalanche of made-
in-Oregon goods and products, is in
prospect as a feature of the Manufac
turers' and Land Products Show at the
Armory.
All that is lacking to make the plan
complete is a "happy couple," who are
willing to agree to buy nothing but
made-ln-Oregon goods for the first six
months of their married life, reporting
their purchases each month to the sec
retary of the Manufacturers' Associa
tion of Oregon.
"We believe," said M. J. Buckley,
manager of the show, "that a home
may be established containing- and.
using nothing but made-in-Oregon
goods, and if the young man and
woman can be found who are willing
to be married on the stage at the Ar
mory the Land Products Show will see
that a set of bedroom furniture and
other household articles is presented
to them. Other exhibitors also will
make gifts.
Manager Buckley says that It will re
quire several large trucks to convey
the soil products to the home of the
bride and bridegroom and that the
home Itself will be a demonstration of
the fact that Oregon produces every
thing necessary to domestic happiness.
