The grand total is $215,387 greater man the total In the budget for 1915 exclusive of the dock expenses and the iiremen s fund. To raise all the money asked In the total city budgets for 1916, including the Dock Commission and the firemen's relief fund, would require a tax levy of approximately 11 mills. The tax levy for the present year was 7.5 mills including docks and firemen's fund To get the levy down to this point for next year the Council would have to trim out approximately $713,000. This is because of the increased amount of the budgets and the decreased receipts oue to prohibition doing away with me liquor license revenue. j.n snort, tne Council will have to mane up the liquor revenue loss by one mill of taxation and would have to provide, approximately 2.5 mills to raise tne additional amount of the budget, including docks and firemen's fund. For the present year the 7.5 tax levy, with other receipts, provided for all city expenses, including the Dock Commission and the firemen's relief and pension fund, the former amounting to $168,000 and the latter to $30,000. Counting these items in the 1916 budget as they were in the 1915 budget, the total levy for this year wouia De li mills. Appropriations Requested Are Listed.

Burton, Herrick, Willis, each in turn has visited the city., and the greatest of these physically, at any rate is Willis. Governor Willis, with Mrs. Willi anri other members of his party, arrived here yesterday morning and stayed a day. "Boomlets" Passed l'p. Incidentally, he met ci-Ronrnnr Wor. rick, another of Ohio's "possibilities." The two exchanged jokes at the Benson Hotel and passed a few minntpn in friendly conversation. Both were asked about their prospective boomlets, and each parried the question. "Who seems to have the best show?" asked someone, intending to speak of me nepuDiican nomination next year. "Why, Ringlinsr Bros.. I've heard." evaded Mr. Herrick. "I don't know. I'm too busv sawinsr wood in the Governor's office," coun tered Governor Willis. But the Governor was readv to dis cuss Presidential candidates In the ab stract. If not In the concrete. "Ohio will give the Republican nom inee 100,000 plurality next year. I don't care who he Is," he asserted with confidence. "Why?" was the natural question. Campaign ot Principles Due. "Well, It will be a campaisrn of nrin- ciples rather than of men. On a ques tion of personality we can't dispute that President Wilson is a strong can didate, but the people are afraid of the Democratic party." What are some of the principles upon which the campaign will be fought?" he was asked. "Well, the tariff will be an important question and the Democrats will have a hard time defending their low-tariff policies. This, together with the de velopment of an American merchant marine and preparation for National defense, will be factors in the next campaign. I expect the Republican party to declare emphatically for every one of these issues." Governor Willis, like Governor Brum baugh, of Pennsylvania, who was here few weeks ago. stepped from the schoolroom into public office. He was a memDer of the faculty of Ohio North ern University, at Ada, O., when elected to Congress five years ago, and from Congress he went Into the Governor's chair. Governor In Young Man. He is a young man onlv 43 and as full of life and energy as a schoolboy. in nis college days he was a dependa ble football player, and he looks the part now, only he would have to under go a season of training. He is six feet, three, and weighs 265. The Governor is delightfully demo cratic in manner and is largely demo cratic In political principles. He is a firm believer in the direct primary, for instance. Former Ohioans now living in Oregon had charge of his entertainment yes terday. They met him and his party at the Union Depot early in the morn ing and took them to the Benson Ho tel for breakfast. The visitors were guests of the Ohio Society at an In formal luncheon at the Chamber of Commerce at noon. O. C. Bortzmeyer presided. H. M. Cake was the toast master and introduced Governor Wil lis. W. P. LaRoche, City Attorney, extended greetings for the people of Portland. The Governor complimented former VV IllOhioans now living in Oresron for choosing Oregon as their adopted state, and told what, in his opinion, causes the native Ohioan to succeed an', to prosper in other parts of the country. Ohio's Growth Lauded. He pointed out that Ohio was settled by people from all parts of New Eng land and other Eastern states, and that It was the first of the states to de velop a cosmopolitan population. He referred proudly to the fact that Ohio has at least one college or uni versity for every one of the 88 coun ties of the stat; that Ohio was the first state to establish a free public school system and the first to estab lish a state university. After luncheon he met many old-time Ohio acquaintances and greeted them all with characteristic cordiality. He grew particularly enthusiastic, though, when he saw Ed Wallick, a. former townsman. "Why, Ed. you old rascal!" he ex claimed, grasping him by both hands and then shaking him by the shoul ders. Mr. Wallick. who formerly worked for Mr. Willis, now lives at East Eighty-second and Ankeny streets. The Governor also met, quite unex pectedly, his uncle, the Rev. E. R. Wil lis, of San Francisco, who is on his way to Seattle to attend a Methodist missionary convention. Yesterday afternoon Governor and Mrs. Willis went with John E. Kelley and members of the Ohio Society In Mr. Kelley's machine on a sight-seeing expedition along the Columbia River Highway. The Governor wanted to see Mount Hood. He saw it. Cottage Grove Crops Follow Fast. COTTAGE GROVE. Or., Sept. 29. (Special.) The all-year-round produc tiveness of the soil of the famous, fertile, fruitful Willamette is being well demonstrated by a Cottage Grove gardener whose last garden for the season is Just coming Into bearing. Dwarf Telephone peas with pods live inches long and peas in proportion to the size of the pod were brought into the city Saturday. The seed was planted July 8 after a crop of potatoes had been taken off the land. Turnips and other vegetables are just reaching marketable size. Washington High Students to Copy City Model. SCHOOL QUESTIONS ISSUES Six Bureaus to Be Organized to Handle Matters of Interest In Practical Waj Civics Class to Be Xucleus of Body."' Something entirely new and some thing that will put one of the studies on a. practical as well as a theoretical basis has been instituted at Washing ton High School. It is the organiza tion of what is known as the "Junior Chamber of Commerce of Washington High School." The civics class will be the nucleus for the organization. This new organization is a branch of the student body and Is to be man aged, operated and controlled by the "live" students of Washington High School. Their motto will be "Do." The object of this movement, which was launched yesterday, is to get the student vitally interested in student affairs, to train him In problems that will later confront him and lastly, but most important, to make him "do" for himself things that are practical. City Model la Followed. This organization is patterned after the Portland Chamber of Commerce and will deal wtih similar problems. The Junior Chamber of Commerce, when completely organized, will con sist of a board of directors, six Vice presidents and one business manager. There will be six bureaus In the or ganization, the nature of each being as follows: The first bureau, known as the Civics Bureau, will deal with such problems as the school beautiful, health and safety first. Rose Festival and play-: grounds. The second, or Industrial Bureau. will work or build up new Industries, but will first "do" something to de vise a plan whereby the students of Washington will be able to ob tain substantial lunches and a desir able place to eat. Charity Work to Be Done. The third is the Charity Bureau which will co-operate with the dif ferent philanthropic institutions of the city. The fourth, or Publicity Bureau. will have to do with the advertising and all other things that the name implies. The fifth is probably one of the most Important, as it is the Washing ton High School Development Bureau. This bureau will be on the lookout for new students, not the ordinary kind. but those who will be a benefit to Washington, or. In other words, ones who will "do" something for the school. The sixth Is the Purchasing Bureau. one that will cp-operate with the va rious firms, thus making it possible for Washington to buy articles such as books in the bulk and bv so doing obtain a discount- Principal Herdman, who has fathered the plan, thinks the movement is bound to be a success and one that will be widespread within a short time. Mr. Herdman and ' Don Orput, history and English instructor, who has been active in the preliminary plans, as well as the other members 6f the fac ulty, are enthusiastic over the move ment, and the methods pursued in the civic classes will be such as to aid in. getting the organization under way.
