Commissioner Baker declares
Mayor's moral crusade is failure.
Twenty-seven thousand dollars in po
lice and fire appropriations, approved
recently, by the City Council sitting- as
budget committee, got knifed yester
day. There went down as cuts $9330
in salaries- of nine policemen; $3500
in feed for police horses, all of which
are to be cut out of the police service
January 1; $3600 for a Are hose truck;
$0000 for ' the proposed new Sellwood
lire station;. $720 for fire alarm tele
graph service to Kenton district, and
ome small 'items for supplies.
"When the smoke of battle cleared the
prospective tax levy had been skimmed
down from an' even' 9 'mills to almost
8.9 mills. -. -
Held -in abeyance with the pruning
"knife hanging dangerously over - its
hoad is the $30,000 appropriation for
the proposed detention home-for- wom
en. This appropriation was allowed to
remain' until- the. Council can get the
ideas of the budget advisory commit
tee as to the advisability of the ex
penditure. Purchase of Car 'Allowed.
The only' item of consequence al
lowed at yesterday's sessions was $5000
for the purchase and. maintenance of
tive email cars for. use by policemen
In patrolling the residence sections This
item was finally granted on the under
standing that the police horses and
3 9 men are to go. The 19 positions
abolished include 10' now vacant and
nine which - are filled. The 10 vacant
places had been eliminated earlier. -
A lively fuss was stirred tip over
he proposal of Commissioner Bigelow
to cut out -the position of fire .escape
inspector, . which, he;;'said, 'was a need
less jol. -This -plai-e . was created by
s. former, administration and tooTt away
from battalion chiefs of the fire bureau
the work, of tire escape inspection.
"This Is work that comes strictly
tinder the' fire marshal," said Commis
sioner Bigelow. "There is no reason
for its being, continued.";
"I think that is so," said Mr. Daly.
Mr. Baker Wants Office Retained.
"Now, hold on," said Commissioner
Baker. "This move is purely a matter
of politics. You are going after a man
who has been in the service a long
time and , has worked hard. I don't
lielieve it is right to oust him In this
way."
"I'm not standing In the way of the
position being cut out," Bald Mayor
Alhoe.
"I have acted purely upon the state
ment of fire officials that the position
is unnecessary," said Mr. Bigelow.
"I can't see where any politics come
into the case," said Mayor Albee."'
"Simply by ousting a man who has
driven long and faithful service," said
Mr. Baker.
"Throughout this budget considera
tion," said Mr. Daly, "i have gone on
the idea of economy and 1 have closed
Jity eyes to the Individual in every ousc
of a cut. I'll bet you if this position
is cut out the fire-escape Inspecting
will be done."
Cue Referred to Fire Chief.
Finally the question of the job be
ing cut otit was referred to the Board
of Fire Chiefs. Whatever they recom
mend goes. Fire Chief Dowell said nt
yesterday's meeting, that the Boarrl
once before recommended that the in
spector be made a lieutenant in the fire
bureau, but it was found this could not
le done.
Commissioner Daly made the motion
to cut out the appropriation for the
frrllwood fire station. He aid the
present building would do for 'another
ear. when a structure can be erected
to house automobile apparatus instea.i
t'f horse-drawn apparatus.
Although an appropriation of $10,000
rad been allowed for a new station
here, it was eliminated upon Mr. Daly's
motion. Commissioners Baker, . Daly
and Bigelow voted for cutting it out
and Mayor Albee and ' Commissioner
lUeck voteu the other way.
Commissioner Daly made n move at
the beginning of the meeting for a gen
eral arbitrary cut of all Items of sup
plies showing increases over the pres
ent year. His move along this line
was dropped when it was found not to
he feasible.
Police Fores to Be Reduced.
The attack on the police bureau
which resulted in nine of the present
force being lopped off was started by
Commissioner Daly, who after urging
that prohibition would reduce crime
next year made a motion to cut the
force of policemen to 220 as compared
with 23S at the present time and 244 In
1S13. He conditioned the cut on the al
lowance of an appropriation of $5000
for the purchase and maintenance of
live small cars for police patrol service
in the residence sections.
Mayor Albee presented letters from
Chief of Police Clark and police cap
tains in charge of the three reliefs in
which all said the force is inadequate
ut the present time.
"I am sorry to see the force cut
lower." ssld Mayor Albee. "We have 15
fewer policemen right now thun we
had two years ago and the only reason
we have been able to handle the work
this year is that tire city has been
fortunate In not having strikes, riots
'i' other emergencies. The people in
the residence sections are entitled to
police protection, as they pay for it, but
without the men we simply cannot give
It."
Poire Do Other Duties.
"There are a lot of your men assigned
to work in other departments, are there
not'.''- asked Mr. Baker. "It doesn't
em right to burden your police pay
roll with these charges."
"T am different from some people."
replied the Mayor. "As long as the
work is being done I don't care whether
it shows 'in my budget or somebody
flpe's." - .'
"Why can't firemen in the various
stations do some police work? asked
Mr. Baker..
"Sure, make them special policemen,"
suggested Mr. Bigelow.
"That would cause difficulties which
would more than offset any advant
ages," said the Mayor.
"The facts are," said Mr. Daly, "that
50 per cent of the crime comes from
liquor and SO per cent of the liquor is
from the open bars. Therefore, you
may never expect to have crime condi
tions any worse than they are now."
"You don't expect to cure all crime
due to liquor right off the hat, do your'
asked Mr. Dieck. "I don't believe the
people are simply going to turn over
a new leaf on January 1 and cut out all
liquor and crime. I don't look for any
big accretion of holiness on January 1."
"Blind Pigs' Expected.
"Do you expect any "blind pigs?"
asked Mr. Baker.
"There will be unless they are gone
after with determination and - they
cannot be attacked that way without
policemen to do It," replied Mayor Al
bee. "It certainly will be hard with
all the amount of liquor that will be
left on hand in the city when the state
goes dry."
"Judging from the number of liquor
advertisements I have received lately,"
said Mr. Dieck, "it won't be particularly
hard to get boose. There are more
clubs being formed now and being
loaded up with bad liquor "than you can
shake a stick at.
"And another thing," said Mayor Al
bee, "the anti-prohibition people nat
urally are going to do everything they
can to discredit prohibition. It cannot
be combated without men to do it."
"You really . believe In this crusade
stuff, do you, Mr Mayor?" asked Air.
Baker.'
"I don't know what you mean by cru
sade," replied the Mayor, "but one thing
is sure and that Is that the people are
not going to simply turn over a new
leaf on January 1 and forget all the
old and start life anew."
"How many men do you have on your
moral squad?" asked Mr. Baker.
"We have no moral squad," said
Mayor Albee. "Men merely do moral
crusade work when they find it to do,
that's all."
"And do you think the moral condi
tions are better in the city now than
they used to be?" asked Mr. Baker.
"I certainly do," replied the Mayor.
s Moral Condition Assailed.
"Well," said Mr. Baker, "perhaps it's
a good thing you go home early nights.
Take a walk down some of the streets
at night and you'll find that this moral
business is all a joke. The facts are,
gentlemen, that no Mayor or anybody
else can say he is going to absolutely
clean up a town. The Mayor who says
he can is a joke. He's 'kidding' him
self, that's all."
"Yes," agreed Mayor Albee, "his place
is in the asylum, for it can't be done."
Commissioner Daly then moved to
cut the police force down to 220 men.
"Sure," said Commissioner Dieck.
"Give the confidence man more confi
dence." "I'll second Mr. Daly's motion," said
Mr. Baker.
The motion was put and carried by
vote of Commissioners Daly, Baker and
Bigelow against Mayor Albee and Com
missioner Dieck. This made a total
difference In the police payroll allow
ance of $9330 for the year.
It was agreed then to purchase the
five cars for patrol service.- This in
volves an expenditure during the year
of $5000, thus making tne net reduc
tion in the department $4330 for the
year. -

Due to Sensitiveness.
The disposition of Arthur Butter
worth to be temperamental was the
principal point at Issue at the trial be
fore Circuit Judge -Davis yesterday of
his. divorce suit against Lydia Rltter
Butter worth. The defendant Is ac
cused or nagging her husband. It was

tive and that he could . stand little
criticism or "joshing."
He declared that his wife failed to
furnish him the necessary Inspiration
for his work and insisted that she and
her relatives were wont to make light
of him. This they vigorously de
nied, saying Butterworth's sensitive
ness made him think so.
Judge Davis has reserved decision,
asking the attorneys involved to file
briefs on the question as to whether
the answer of the defendant, which was
in the form of a cross-bill demanding
separate maintenance, will stand.

cult role of twin sisters. One Bister,
Edith Martin, is ambitious, pretty and
the ready shield of her unfortunate
sister who goes into stupors for an unknown-
reason. The early part of the
play transpires in Chinatown, where a
family in sordid condition struggles for
a living.
Fortune favors them and the lather
goes prospecting and "strikes it rich."
But the secret sin continues. Grace
steals money from her mother to buy
the drug she craves, and is finally dis
covered by her sister, whose vigilance is
heroic. Scenes of opium dens, the rav
ages of the drug and the struggles of
the victims are the factors that make
"The Secret Bin" a revelation. -

Most old people must give to the
bowels some regular help, else they
suffer from constipation. The condition
is perfectly natural. It is just as nat
ural as it is for old people to walk
slowly. For age is never so active as
youth. The muscles are less elastic.
And the bowels are muscles.
So all old people need Cascarets. One
might as well refuse to aid weak eyes
with glasses as to neglect this gentle
aid to weak bowels. The bowels must
be kept active. This is important at
all ages, but never so much as at fifty.
Age is not a time for harsh physics.
Youth may occasionally whip the bow
els into activity. But a lash can't be
used every day. What the bowels of the
old need Is a gentle and natural tonic
One that can be constantly used with
out harm. The only such tonic is Cas
carets. and they cost only 10 cents per
i1ox at any drug store. Adv.

More Farmers Ask Right to Tap Ore

OREGON CITY. Or., Oct. 28. (Spe

Water Commission for right to tap the
