Copies of the budget will be forwarded to all members of the Incoming- Legislature and to state offi cials. The budget made public today is dif ferent from the one prepared recently by the State Tax Commission, that being based upon such provisions for the expenditures of money as are pro vided by law. while the budget pre pared by the Secretary of State's office includes estimates as forwarded by the various boards and state activities enumerated. The accompanying detailed recapitu lation indicates a few of the estimate set out in the budget covering the va rious state activities for which provi sion must be made by the incoming Legislature. JEWS GIVE $2,500,000 GREAT SUM RAISES FOR RELIEF OF" WAR SUFFERERS. Two Men Head List With lOO.OO Each Rich and Poor Struggle for Admission to Mass Meeting. BALEM, Or.. Dec. 21. (Special!) The final budget, showing the- estimat ed expenditures for the state of Oregon for the biennial period of 1917 and 1918, was completed and made public by Secretary of State Olcott today and rfn estimate of the total requirements for all activities as shown by other state ments filed with the Secretary of State Is 19,317,528.48. . . , In the general summary the Secre tary of State also furnishes suggestions as to possibilities under the 6 per cent limitation amendment. It is shown that the levy for 1917 under the amendment is $2,636,750. with the possible maxi mum levy for 1918 of 2, 794.955.. In ad dition, estimated receipts of $877,800.82 are set out, -making a possible maxi mum total which may be raised under I the amendment of $6,309,505.82, Or in dicating that if all of the state expendi tures as estimated were to be allowed there would be a shortage of $715,882.-. 09, as compared to the estimated maxi mum which might be raised under, the provisions of the amendment. Recapitulation la Shown. Under a recapitulation, the estimat ed grand total of moneys to be covered by appropriations of moneys from the public treasury is $7,024,887.91, while the estimated amount to be provided for by appropriations from the pub lic treasury (general fund) is placed at $4,781,145.31. This latter amount is especially applicable to the estimates that cover the appropriations contem plated by the next Legislative Assem bly. In taking these latter figures, the explanation is offered by the Secretary of State that they are entirely based on estimates. All state officers, heads of departments or proper officers, boards, commissions or trustees in charge of any educational, charitable, penal, or other institution, except as enumerated, were called upon, as pro vided by law, to prepare statements showing the amounts required for the proper support and maintenance, exten sion or Improvement of the department, or state activity in question, together with an estimate of the probable reve nues from all sources, for the coming biennial period. The State Fish and Game Commission failed to respond, but, with the ex ception of one or two other minor com missions or boards, the estimate as fi nally prepared has a showing for all state activities, with the exceptions noted. The budget this year Is the most com plete ever attempted, containing 49 pages,' including an index, setting out in complete detail every item asked for or covered by the various board Institutions or state activities. The summary, in addition to figures given above, shows that the estimated amounts provided for by fees, etc.. ap plicable only to the payment of claims incurred In carrying out specific ob jects total $419,o72.13; that the esti mated amounts provided for by funds or contributions paid into the State Treasury wherein the state acts only in the capacity of trustee or disbursing agent total $1,575,823.20, and the esti mated amounts provided by receipts and contributions from sundry sources not paid into the State Treasury total Fixed Payments 3,270,000. The estimated amount provided for by existing laws authorizing the an nual appropriations of . moneys from the public treasury (general fund) reaches the total of $441,983.60; the estimated amount provided for by ex istlng laws authorizing the appropria tions of moneys from the public treas ury (general fund), which appropria tions are based on annual millage levy upon the taxable property of the state, shows a total of $1,831,759, while, as before stated, the amount estimated to be provided for by ap propriations of the legislative As sombly from the public treasury (gen eral fund) as shown by statements filed with the Secretary or State ag gregate $4,781,145.31, or the total of $7,054,887.91, as an estimate of the total amount to be covered by appropriation of money from the public treasury. It will be noted that the grand total Just specified includes, not only ap propriations contemplated to be made by the next assembly by appropriation bills, but includes also millaa tax ap propriations and annual appropriations already provided for in existing laws passed by previous Legislatures. Totals Equal 1913-1014 Budget. That total may be compared with the total of appropriations made by the last Legislature, which was' $6,310,548.67 and for -1913-14 was $7,021,499.67, the comparison differing in one respect, that the appropriations made include those not connected with some state activity, such as for payment of claims for deaths or injuries, or appropriations of a similar nature which arise from particular bills introduced by various members of the Legislature and not connected with the state government proper. As a result it is seen that the esti mate, although not Including the State Fish and Game Commission, is only about $3000 in excess of the appropria tions actually covered by the Leglsla ture of 1913, including annual appro priations and millage funds and only about $800,000 in excess of the ap propriations actually made two years ago. including the annual sppropna tions and millage funds. But, it Is pointed out, many of the estimates offered may be shaved materially and as a result the appropriations cut down below even the mark set by the pre ceding Legislature. Buildings Put at $762,100. Some interesting data may be gleaned from the recapitulation of the est! mates. The total amount estimated for public buildings is $762,199.30, while for betterments, replacements,- material and supplies the total estimate is $367, 974.25. An aggregate of $12,971 is eetl mated for contingencies and $l,57s 823.20 is estimated for funds or con tributions for which the. state acts only in the capacity of a trustee or disburs ;ng agent. This sum in question is that raised for the Industrial -Accident Com mission by assessments on employers. The total estimated receipts from all sources is placed at $3,552,392.82, while receipts from sundry sources applicable only to the payment of legislative ap propriations from the public treasury are estimated at $877,800.82.

The subscriptions received to night cam not only from New York, but from all parts of the country. Thousands of Jews who had not been supplied with tickets surrounded the hall before the doors were opened. Rich and poor, old ami young, strug gled for admission.

Women and girls ho had. toiled all day in shops and tores went dinnerless that they might be on nana early. The floor of the hall and the stage were filled early by representative Jews nd their sympathizers in the fund campaign. FLAMES TRAP CHILDREN (Centlnud From First Pass.) 2 o clock by fire and smoke.
