TAX INCREASE 1.63 MILLS
Figure Is Estimated Without Accu
rate Data on Other Sources of
Revenue General Fund
Grows $502,951.
OLYMPIA, Wash.. March 25. (Spe
cial.) Total appropriations made by
the Legislature of 1917 exceed the total
authorized by the Legislature of 1915
to the extent of $2,618,680.59. according
to figures furnished by the state bu
reau of Inspection. .
Total appropriations for all state pur
poses two years ago came to 122,176,
672.76. This session's expenditures for
the coming two years, exclusive of
vetoed Hems, amount to $24,795,353.36.
Appropriations vetoed amounted to
60,45O this year.
So far as may be roughly estimated
without accurate estimates available as
to other sources of revenue, the latest
appropriation total means an Increase
in tax levy for state purposes of 1.63
mills, or $1,630,000 upon assessed valua
tions as now listed.
MUlage Increases Shown.
This mlllage total includes fractional
Increases of .5 of a mill for the general
fund, .53 of a mill for higher educa
tion, .1 of a mill for military purposes
and .5 of a mill for the state capitol,
building fund, the latter being levied
on condition that the full amount col
lected by it be repaid the general fund
as rapidly as timber is sold from the
state land granted for capitol building
purposes.
, General fund expenditures originally
authorized by the Legislature of 1917,
for which cash is procured by direct
taxation, amounted to $7,449,703.89. Gov
ernor Lister's veto of $60,200 in this
found reduced the net total to $7,389,
603.89. Included in this veto are $43,000 for
maintenance of the state bureau of in
spection, $9000 for executive mansion
maintenance and $6000 for two years'
salary of the state law librarian.
The net increase of the general fund
authorized by the Legislature this year
amounts to $502,951.96 over the general
fund total of two years ago. It is rep
resented largely in new buildings and
improvements for existing state Insti
tutions. Military Appropriation $088,521.
Reduced . by the veto of $250 the
state military appropriation this year
comes to $688,521.43.
A large Increase Is that for higher
educational institutions, the university,
state college and three normal schools
this session receiving a total of $2,-'
909,472.42, as compared to $2,528,355.90
two years ago, or an Increase of $381,
072.52. The two road funds are not Increased
by taxation this year, but they benefit
to the extent of approximately $1,000,
000 by the addition of Federal aid funds
now becoming available for expenditure
in the next five years. Total highway
appropriations this session amount to
$7,054,675.40, as compared to $6,260,
166.34 appropriated under the levy of
1915.
Fish and game funds appropriations
this session come to $357,475.28, or an
Increase of $109,191.28 over 1915, but
this comes from license sources. The
total appropriation of $5,000,000 for
workmen's compensation and first aid
is derived from contributions by em
ployers and employes.
The employes share equally In the
contribution of $1,000,000 set aside for
first aid, the $4,000,000 compensation
fund being contributed entirely by the
employers.
Governor Lister has rented private
apartments to which his family will
move on April 1. The executive mansion
will be closed.
Whether the Governor's veto of the
state bureau of inspection expense ap
propriation actually means the elim
ination of that expense for the next two
years is still problematical.
Legal attack upon the veto is expect
ed to begin when payment of the next
month's salaries Is refused on account
of lack of funds. It will probably take
the form of mandamus proceedings to
compel payment.

Mother's Friend
The husband Is often worried over
the condition of hi wife during1 her
period of expectancy. The thought
that he is helpless to relieve her phys
ical suffering: and discomfort cauaei
him frreat distress.
"Mother's Friend" Is a safe ex
ternal lubricant which penetrates to
the fine network of nerves beneath the
skin of the abdomen. It has a marked
tendency to relieve the muscular
strain to which these broad, flat ab
dominal muscles are subjected.
If husbands will secure for the ex
pectant mother a bottle of "Mother's
Friend" from their druggist, they will
find that they have aided to a very
great degree in relieving much of the
discomfort during pregnancy and
pain at the crisis.
The mother should apply "Mother's
Friend" every night and morning,
right op until the time of giving
birth to the child. By aiding nature
in its pre-natal work the mother will
experience much less pain.
Every mother should have the free
book prepared for users of "Mother's
Friend." It concerns her health and
well-being during and after the crisis.

Peoples.
AEIG play, in many ways one of
the best screen subjects ever
produced. Is "The Price She Paid,"
the Peoples' protodramatlc treat that
opened yesterday to capacity crowds.
This classic action-painting of the well
known story by David Graham Phillips,
unquestionably will rank among the
best film appearances of that beauti
ful star, Clara Kimball Young, If the
public generally does not label It her
very best.
In "The Price She Paid." Miss Young
has a big role, and masters It with
fine distinction and seemingly perfect
understandings of the strong emotions
that swayed the actions of Mildred
Gower, the heroine. Incidentally Miss
Young displays numberless triumphs of
the latest fashions In gowns. Charles
Giblyn directed the play, and artis
tically it ranks high.
Matrimony Is the theme of "The
Price She Paid" the conventional sort
of alliances that are directed by money
or social position, and smack of those
old days when betrothals were made
in childhood. The career of Mildred
Gower, who throws herself at one man,
only to be rebuffed, and then con
tracts v a disastrous alliance with an
aged millionaire, both for the purpose
of securing a home and ease, is a
strong arraignment of marriage for
convenience.
Miss Young is. surrounded wlth a
strong supporting cast, including three
leading men. Alan Hale plays the
part of Stanley Baird, the man who
first rebuffed her, and then, when he
is free, offecs her opportunity for a
musical career if she will wed him.
Snltz Edwards, a "trooper" of the old
days. Is seen in the role of General
Siddal, the moneyed old chap she mar
ried and then deserted when she dis
covered that the price was too great.
David Powell, the villain of "Gloria's
Romance" and hero of Mary Pickford's
first Artcraft picture. "Less Than the
Dust," Is David Keith, the young law
yer who finally awakens Mildred to
the greater things in lire and Iinany
wins her. Powell, by the way, is minus
that diminutive moustache he wore In
recent appearances.
One of the many commendable fea
tures of the photoplay, and one which
holds the Interest unflagging. Is the
uncertainty regarding the possession of
Mildred. Baird Is first an impossibil
ity and then circumstances place him
in the "probable class. Then comet
the final swing, a letting up of the
suspense and the girl has achieved an
artistic success and is mistress of her
own actions, v
Sunset.
"The She Devil," or "Ashes of Em
bers," presents some of the greatest
acting In all the history of the screen.
Pauline Frederick, in a dual role, is
responsible for the hlstrionio excel
lence In a sensational and lurid photo
tale of a woman's depravity. Miss Fred
erick's leading role Is vamplrlsh, while
the good woman she Impersonates Is a
negative character, the victim of the
"vamp." The star reaches the zenith of
hep art in "The She Devil," while the
story is intensely dramatic, although It
does portray an extremely unpleasant
phase of life.
The photoplay deals with twin sisters
in poor circumstances one, Agnes, all
that is good, and the other, Laura, a
vixenish, vamplrlsh woman, who stops
at nothing to gain- her own selfish
desires for material prosperity and the
sensuous luxuries of life. She is not
only Immoral, but unmoral and ad
heres to no code of conduct other than
the gratification of sensuality and de
generate whims.
By a set of well-worked-out' inci
dents Agnes redeems and falls In love
with one of Laura's victims, whom she
has wrecked and cast aside. Agnes had
been Bent to prison for a theft commit
ted by Laura in order that she might
have clothes with which to win a mil
llonalre. Then, when Laura marries the
millionaire and still carries on her af
fair with Leigh, the young architect.
Agnes Is hired to impersonate her sister
In the manufacture of an alibi. Agnes
and Leigh are married. Then comes the
big climax, when the regenerate bus
band again meets and falls victim to
the wiles of the unprincipled Laura, and
his rescue at the psychological moment
by the faithful and forgiving wife. In
the end Laura Is shot by her deceived
husband.
"Safety-First Ambrose," the two-reel
Mack Swain Keystoner that failed to
arrive last week, furnishes a fitting
foil for the dramatic feature. Para
mount Plctographs are also screened.
Majesties
"High Finance" is a comedy-drama
of meritorious entertainment values, a
vehicle for George Walsh, the chap who
is emulating Douglas Fairbanks and
his athletfcisms. Doris Pawn is a
charming heroine and Wlllard Louis a
big chap whose comedy possibilities are
big enough to warrant his appearance
as star.
"High Finance" is a story of youth,
love, the stock market and a salted cop
per mine. The commingling of these
produces a highly entertaining five
reeler. Walsh and Miss Pawn are in
troduced, respectively, as the spend
thrift son of a market operator and the
niece of said operator's deadliest busi
ness foe. The girl, tiring of her Inac
tive life, hires out as secretary to a
scientist bound for Arizona and the
bones of prehistoric animals in a copper
mine. The man's allowance is cut to
the quick by a father made unusually
Irate by a loss on the market and his
son's activity in the chorus-girl league,
and he gets a job as valet and guide to
the Arizona party.
Determined to show "his father that
mony can be easily made if no scruples
are entertained regarding the method,
the young fellow "salts" the copper
mine and sells it to his father and
father-in-law-to-be. Of course, that
last means that Black and White, sec
retary and valet, have fallen in love.
The salted mine and love affair like
wise puts an end to the feud of the
brokers.
Much of the comedy, aside from-
louis- contribution, is furnished by the
suspicions of the young people that the
other is a thief, and each struggles to
protect the law-breaker.
"A Merry Mix-up" Is the name of the
latest Foxfilm comedy, featured by
Charles Conklln, who tries to drink up
all the liquorin town; a pretty girl,
who wears pajamas in many places, and
a flood in a railway train. Hearst

"The Hungry Heart," and with Alice
Brady as Frou Frou, William A. Brady

French play for the World programme.
It is being screened at the Star Theater.

Board of Control Issues Statement
In Selecting Body to Investigate
and Report for Next Ses

SALEM, Or., March 25. (Special.)
In finally selecting the members of the
Child Welfare Commission as members
of the committee provided for by the
last Legislature, to Investigate and re
port on the status of the dependent, in
corrigible and delinquent children In
state-controlled or state-aided institu
tions, the Board of Control also Issued
a statement explaining its move in se

Members of the commission are all
connected with the faculty of the Uni
versity of Oregon, In the extension work
department, and are as follows: Miss
Elizabeth Fox, B. W. DeBusk. George
Rebec, Edmund S. Conklin and Earl
Kilpatrlck.
The statement Issued by the board in
as follows:
"Senate resolution No. 11 provides
for the appointment, by the Board ot
Control, of a committee of five mem
bers to visit public and private insti
tutions of this state having charge and
control of minors and dependent, delin
quent. Incorrigible and subnormal chil

ous problems of child welfare and sug
gesting to the, next Legislature meas
ures for solving these problems.
"The Child Welfare Commission ex
ists to handle Just such work as this.
Its new membership, comprising mem
bers of the extension department of
the University of Oregon, as recently
appointed by the Governor, is In a po
sition to-fulflll the requirements of the
Senate resolution probably better than
any other agency which could be de
vised. Its members are all familiar
with work of this character. As mem
bers of the university staff they have
funds available to meet the necessary
expenses of the" investigation which
will be conducted, while any Indepen
dent committee which might be ap
pointed would .have no funds to meet
their expenses. Further, the data se
cured would be of direct educational
value as ' permanent records for the
university.
"Therefore, Inasmuch as a committee
already exists, whose members are
qualified experts in the very branch of
investigation proposed,, the Board of
Control considers it would be unwise
duplication to appoint a separate com
mittee, -although a most excellent one
has been suggested;- it feels that th
best results will be obtained for all
concerned by appointing the present
Child Welfare Commission as Its com

of Senate resolution No 21, and It
therefore has designated the members
