18 THE "MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAT, .NOVEMBER 4, 1916. TAX 2.8 WILL MILLS REACH Increase in Cost of Supplies Needed for Year Makes Appreciable Difference. SALARY ADVANCES SOUGHT Bndget : Committee Organizes, With E. B. McXanghton Chairman, but Consideration of Figures De ferred Until After Election. Partial estimates for the county gen eral budget calling for $590,321.90, an Increase of S6S.774.03 over the tax share of the same departments in 1916, are in the hands of the advisory budget com mittee. The total general fund budget last year was $771,976.80. Based on the present $30,000,000 val uation of property In Multnomah Coun ty," the $68,774.03 Increase would raise the tax rate. If adopted, approximately .235 of a mill. On the present land val uation, the 2.45-mill tax of last year would not raise nearly $771,976.80; the tax would have to be more than 2.57 mills. From these figures" It Is estimated that If the increase granted In the bud get be no greater than has already been asked for in reports from a ma jority of the departments of county government, the probable tax levy for general county purposes wil" be about 2.8 mills. Action on Budget Deferred. The budget committee met for the first time yesterday and organized, E. B. McNaughton being chosen chairman and Henry E. Reed, secretary. The estimates submitted were not discussed, any action on the budget being post poned until after the election, by whjch time the offices which have not yet reported, notably those of the County Cleric and Sheriff, will "have turned in estimates. Salary raises, asked for because of the high cost of living, and the increase of prices on needed supplies, are respon sible for the estimated requirements over this year's allotment. W. A. Eatchel, superintendent of ma chinery, asks that his salary be in creased from $125 to $150 a month. Ed Kehoe, building superintendent at the Courthouse, requests an increase from $85 to $95 a month. Advances of $70 to $80 a month are asked by the head janitors at the Courthouse, from $65 to $75 by the subordinate Janitors and from $65 to $75 by the night watch men. Surveyor Asks for $7920 County Surveyor Bonser estimates that he will need $7920 for himself and deputies during 1917. His estimate was similar for 1916, but he -only received 53500 when the committee was through with the budget. Constable Weinberger will not be In office next year and believes his suc cessor can get along nicely with two less deputies than are now employed, at a saving in salary of $2400. He also estimates that the supplies needed by the next Incumbent of the Constable's office should not cost more than $1160. They cost him $1830 this year. Coroner Dammasch has submitted no estimates, as he has a plan for the conduct of his office which he desires to talk over, personally, with the mem bers of the budget, committee. He, asks an hour's time next week. The Grand Army of the Republic de clares the need of indigent soldiers next year will total $25.0u0. due to the Increased living cost. The appro priation for old soldiers last year was only $15,000. County Farm Change Proposed. The County Farm considers dis pensing with the services in the main division of an assistant superintendent next year, but asks that the salary of the bookkeeper and steward be raised $5 a month each. In the farm division, it is considered advisable to employ expert poultry help, etc, next year at & total co of $790. At the County Hospital a night su perintendent at a salary of $50 a month is asked, and it Is desired to raise the salary of the cook from $50 to $75 a month. Madison Welch, superintendent of bridges and ferries, asks that his own salary be increased from $12 to $150 a month and that 34 gatemen receive nominal increases. In the salary item for bridge and ferry work, which Is about $8000'more than was granted for 1916. $26,760.99 is asked for extra la bor, much of which will be expended in work on the Kenton bridge. 945.0OO Asked for Widows. For widowed mothers" pensions t-iere Is asked $45,000 for next year. The 1916 appropriation for this was $37,500. Judge Cleeton, of the County Court, Eaid yesterday that the amount askd might have to be Increased from $50, 000 to $100,000 If pending litigation with regard to widows" pensions is Fettled in a manner adverse to the In terests or the county. nigh cost of supplies is shown In one instance In the cost of fuel oil for use in the courthouse. In 1916. the oil cost $13,165. For 1917. the same amount win cost, it- is estimated, $17,550, an increase or $4385. Then there Is the matter of tools machinery and cable used In the bridge and ferry department. The estimate for supplies for this department is nearly $20,000 greater than for 1916.

Eastern Manufacturers Find Few Here to Adopt Extreme Fukioiu, so Plan Ahead Accordingly. The feminine influence of masculine clothes Is soon to pass and the Western man may be credited with the change. Thus speaks George Schwarzenljach, Jr., representative of the Dutchess Trouser Company, of Poughkeepsle, N. T-, who once more has reached the Pa cific Coast on his semiannual pilgrim age of business and "philosophical salesmanship." "This Winter and next Spring will see men's clothes about as tight and feminine as they ever will get," said Mr. Schwarzenbach yesterday at Hotel Benson. "The masculine style after that will begin to swing backward to clothes more abundantly built, with less . trimmings and fewer furbelows. And you can Just about credit It to the Western men, who, especially this year, have declined the 'super-sister" effect in clothes. Like in politics and litera ture. Western' men have begun to dic tate. "In the East manufacturers find they can get a reasonable number of men to take up the extreme fashions for men, but when -they begin to make clothes for the trade you understand. for the Middle West and "Western trade they run up against a stone wait Manufacturers are more and more feei ng out each year the sentiment of Western men, learning what the West ern men like. That's why I say that part of my business this trip Is to sell trousers and part of it to act as a sort of philo sophical pathiinder for the firm. Big manufacturers nowadays expect their salesmen to feel out sentiment of the ultimate consumers as much as of the retailers and firms who stock up on certain kinds of goods." - JUVENILE COURT TOPIC SOCIAL WORKERS' CLUB HEARS All- DRESS OX INSTITUTION. Sentimentalists Give More Trouble Thai Delinquent Children, Declares , . One Speaker. The future of the -Juvenile Court of Multnomah County was the subject of discussion of the speakers who partic ipated in the programme that followed the dinner of the Social Workers Club In the Hotel Portland last night. Judge George Tazwell, In giving his views, said that although the subject of . a parental home is a mooted ques tion, such a home might well be. es tablished and be a great power for good. He said that when a. delinquent girl is brought to court there should be a woman assistant to hear her case. George McBride said the real pur pose of the Juvenile Court Is humani tarian and that the dealings should be conducted with as little publicity as possible so that the pride of the children should not be killed. "When I was In the Juvenile Court. said J. Teuscher, as officer of the Boys' and Girls' Aid Society. "I didn't have half the trouble with the delinquent children, that I did with the sentimen talists and hypocrites." Kufus Holman discussed the condi tions at the Frazier Home. He sug gested that all the resources be put be hind one good Institution. Mrs. Harriet Heller, of the Boys and Girls" Aid Society, spoke of the need of having the right kind of people In In stitutional work. Judge Cleeton spoke briefly. George Thacher presided. The next social serv ice conference will be held in the Li brary Thursday at 10:30 o'clock. BUDGET IS UNCERTAIN RISES IX FOOD PRICES UPSETS ALL STATE INSTITUTION FIGURES. Gravity Injected Into Situs tlon Waei $1000 Increase Is Asked by State School for Deaf. SALEM. Or.. Nov. 3, (Special.) The steady advance in the price of food stuffs and other supplies has forced heads of the 10 state Institutions to consider seriously how to keep their per capita cost for maintenance during the next two years within their esti mates to be submitted to the next Leg islature. First intimation of the gravity of the situation caused by the rise In prices of foodstuffs was given to the members of the State Board of Control today when Superintendent Tillinghast of the State- School for the Deaf asked for $1000 more for maintenance purposes, bringing the amount to be requested from the Legislature for the next two years for his institution up to $54,500. Since the heads of the state institu tions submitted their maintenance esti mated to the Board of Control for -supplies have risen greatly, and In today's discussion It developed that to keep within the estimated per capita cost, it would probably b necessary to use more of the cheaper staples during the next biennium. The combined population of the 10 state institutions on October 31. was 3385.: At the Oregon State Hospital there are 1591 patients. The per capita cost of maintenance -last month ' was S15.94.

ERROR Full Acknowledgment Made, bat Democrats Stick to Old Story. Paper Stolen From Files of -Portland Library. One paper In the United States, and one only. In publishing an account of Charles E. Hughes' Milwaukee address September 21, carried an introductory paragraph erroneously stating that Mr. Hughes had denounced the La Follette seaman's bill and advocated the repeal of the whole Democratic legislative ac complishment." That paper was the Chicago. Tribune, and on the following day it acknowl edged the error and .published a cor rection. Neither representatives of the Asso ciated Press, nor the United Press, not any other of the newspaper correspond ents present beard Mr. Hughes make such a- statement. - The stenographers who took his speech verbatim did not hear. It. The Portland Journal has persisted. In spite of the correction in the Trib une and in spite of the overwhelming available evidence supplied by Its own news agency and by the detailed report In the Tribune, and in spite of steno graphic reports of the speech published in . many papers, has persisted In re peating the false statement as to what Mr. Hughes said. Paper Stolen From Library. By a "strange coincidence" the only readily available Portland means of determining the full text of the Trib une's report of - the speech has been stolen from the Portland Public Li brary. Not only the erroneous Intro ductory paragraph, but the two-column report carried by the Tribune of Mr. Hughes" speeches, from which it could be ascertained that the introduction was not supported by the text of the article, have been torn from the Library files. . Yesterday E. S. Beck, managing edi tor of the Chicago Tribune, in response Uj an inquiry- from The Oregonian. added further correction of the story. Mr. Beck says in his telegram: "The Tribune's report of the Wiscon sin trip was that of K. C. Hill, staff correspondent of the New York Sun service. The paragraph In question, carrying the misstatements, contained the observations and comment of Mr. Hill and these are not supported in the two-column report of Mr. Hughes' Wis consin day speech by any direct quo tations from Mr. Hughes. Full Correction Printed. . "On Friday. September 22. the Trib une printed this story, including head lines, as follows: "Hughes Did Not Attack La Follette Seaman's Bill. Measure Denounced by Candidate in Milwaukee Speech Was McAdoo Ship-Purchase Bill. "'Through an error the Tribune yes terday quoted Charles E. Hughes as having opposed the La- Follette sea man's bill In his address at Milwaukee and as having announced that it should be repealed. " 'Mr. Hughes' address did not re fer to the La Follette seaman's bill, but to the McAdoo ship-purchase bill. Of this the Republican candidate aid: "'"The shipping bill is a menace to American industry. - ;It unjustifiably In troduces the Government into the ship building business." "'Based on the misstatement In re gard to the La Follette bill, the pub licity, bureau- of the Western Demo cratic headquarters yesterday Issued a statement saying Mr. Hughes now op poses progressive legislation. "It Is needless to say that the Demo cratic publicity bureau did not carry the correction made on the following day In the columns of the Tribune." BUDGET ESTIMATES CUT (Continued From First Page.) Commissioner Dieck's plan, retired to work out their cuts. They probably will be ready to report early next week and some startling disclosures will fol low. It is said that Commissioners Daly and Blgelow got busy with the budgets and outlined a plan for a long pro gramme of cuts in the departments under Commissioner Dieck and Mayor Albee. along a line similar to that put through in the same way a year ago. These two are the largest departments, and it was planned to force cuts with a ruthless hand. Commissioner Dieck got wind of the plan and spent until midnight Thursday framing a real econ omy programme. He was cocked and ready for the others when the budget session opened yesterday. It is being whispered around the City Hall that Commissioner Baker was the man who held the whip hand in the whole proposition. On the one hand were Commissioners Daly and Blgelow, who had their fine programme for cut ting "the other fellows' departments," and on the other hand were Mayor Albee and Commissioner Dieck, who felt their budgets were down to the bone, and If there was any cutting each Commissioner should stand his share. They naturally wanted to head off the Daly-Blgelow assault. Mr. Baker Is Neutral. Commissioner Baker, standing on a platform of economy, is said to have announced to both sides that he was for economy regardless of how It came. It is said he told the Albee-Dieck fac tion that unless they were willing to sign up for a general 5 per cent cut right down the line he would fall -In for the Daly-Bigelow programme. This left Mr. Baker, as stated, with the whip hand, and to equalize the bur den so that all Commissioners would share In the general economy If that was what was to come, he announced that he would stand for the 5 per cent general trim rather than the other pro. gramme of trimming - In - spots. And that wasthe way the proposition went through. " Each Commissioner Is to share his burden In the economy In stead of forcing one or two to suffer the whole loss. "I have been harassed," said Com missioner Dteck at the opening of the budget session," by newspaper state ments that I have been extravagant In expenditures. They will not and in fact do not want to see that conditions have changed In the last few years; that we have annexed St. Johns and Llnnton and that pavements and sewers are wearing out and that the expense of upkeep must be greater. Mayor Is In Accord. "Now If it is real economy you want, let's have a showdown right now." And then he unfolded his 5 per cent plan. "It means cutting down on every thing." ..said Mayor .Albee. "You. can not tell me that that is what the peo ple want. They want a reduction of taxes, but they still want more and more service. I believe, however, that service it should be general and should not be confined to any one depart ment. There is no reason why one department should go along absolutely efficiently and another be cut until It Is Inefficient." "That's the point." said Mr. Dieck. "If we are going to cut let's treat them all alike. Don't pick on any lame ducks. I'm ready to sacrifice what I consider the most Important things In my department, the paving plant and the O.-W. R. Sc. N. regrade project, if It must be done."- "Yes," said Commissioner Baker, "make everybody get down to brass tacks. Wo have gone over this budget once and cut out everything we felt we could. Now. if we are to cut, let's all cut. I do not feel that I should go ino Mr. Daly's department or Mr. Dieck's department, or any department of any other Commissioner, and tell him what he shall cut. Let each man reorganize his department to suit himself. He knows what he can do. There should be no favorites." .. Mr. Blgelow Says He Cant. After the - meeting had adjourned Commissioner Blgelow made the asser tion that he could not cut 5 per cent out of his budget. It is likely that If he is unable to find a way the rest of the Council will find It for him. It has been suggested that - the purchasing bureau can be abolished at a saving of several times 6 per cent. City Auditor Barbur, It Is said. Is In position to take over the purchasing bureau work without any additional .help and can handle the work better than It is being handled at present. ' There may be such a thing as the O.-W. R. & N. regrade project being saved from the wreckage. There is a sum of $70,000 In the regrade fund at present, and an attempt will be made to finance the remaining cost by sale of a lot of securities held In the city's general fund. Proceedings for the proj ect have not been stopped as yet. Great uneasiness exists at the City Hall on account of the sudden revolu tlon. It means a great pruning of employes and the cutting down of the work of the city to a great extent. CITY TRADE TOUR BEGUN PROGRESSIVE BUSINESS MEV HOLD FIRST EXCURSION TO DAT.

Earnings of Hlgh-Prlced Men Would Be Reduced and Legality Is De nied by Best Legal Opinion. CHICAGO, - Not. S. E. P. Ripley president of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Jj"e Railroad, addressing members of the City Club here today, let It be known that the legal talent of the rail roads are still In a quandary as to what the roads should do with regard to the Adamson law. "Nobody knows what the Adamson law means, or how It can be applied to existing conditions, said Mr. Rip ley. "The best legal opinion Is that i cannot be construed to be a legal and Binding statute. This means -that the railroads tried to enforce it as stands there would be a strike, because It would seriously reduce the earnings or a large part of the highest paid men. "If, on the other hand, the railroads follow the law as the brotherhoods would like to have them do, namely taking the hot end of the poker in every case. 11 would cost litem a very large sum. estimated at 3100.000.000 year.
