The receipts for commercial fishing in the past two years amount to 1131.000. and this money is used for operating hatcheries and overhead expenses. In addition H 000 is asked of the Legislature apparently for the I same work.

A little more than $10,000 is asked by the Oregon So.-ml Hygiene Society, aagalnat JJO.Ot'O two years ago, which was increased $IO.noo hy the emer gency board. At least $1S.OOO can be saved here without hindering the good work it has accomplished. Roughly estimated. $10,000 can be eliminated from the Oregon State Li brary estimtte. and there is a possible saving of $5000 on the livestock board by keeping the appropriation at the old figure. . This applies also to the bureau of mines and geology, where $20,000 can be eliminated. An estimate 'or the National Guard calls for IS.IS.i;. Just what will be done with the jruard is unknown, but before the war $1jS."00 was considered adequate. If the Legislature does noth ing else on this itm, it can at least knock off the $!,000.

Unexpected balances of the emer gency board deficiencies can be sa vaged to the sum of $140,000. Almost half this amount can be saved from the unexpended appropriation tor the maintenance of the military depart ment of the state of Oregon. At first glance, the prospect of ad justing the state's Income to the es timated expenses appears among things impossible. A close scanning of the respective Items discloses that there Is a wide field for economy and saving of state money without crippling the operation of the business. STATU CAPIT-U Salem. Jan. 13 '(Special.) Application of business Ynthod. elimination of non-essentials and postponement of unnecessary Im provements until a more auspicious time will enable Oregon to be financed without Indebtedness. A survey of the budget which has been prepared for the consideration of the Legislature shows a total estimate to be provided from I the public treasury of $!.l7.iS.Sl. As estimated, visible revenues amount to 7.s;i.SS0.7. It appears that $ 1.237. 7111 will be n-eded. Ktery e.-.entll In the bmlcrt can be prond'il with $;o0.i)00 remaining, al though drastic economies are neces jrv. Mtmlaaf laa at I J.ZZ.10 raaalhle. Apparently there is a shortage of $1.2-17.314 II. Hy the exercise of the pruning knife, it is possible to trim from the budget $I.322.S2' without damage to the running machinery of the state. The Legislature will proba bly device reconstruction schemes which must be heavily financed. In ht-h event the tentative budget Items w ill have to suffer It is estimated $'.no.00 can be lopped ftt in the industrial accident commia eion by aborhing the one-seventh w hlch the state contributes to the com pensation fund. The estimate in the budget is for $S0.0OO. The commis sion itself . recommends that the Legis lature make an appropriation for ad ministration exrenaes of $2.$7t.l. Instead of the estimated $?.". which the state's one-seventh for two year wiM amount to: the state adding to the money whirh comes from employ ers and employes for compensation. rt Redact! la 1S Fareeaat. Fefore the session enda the commis sion expects to offer an amendment which will reduce the state's portion to the bare co-t of administration. An other suggestion Is that the commis sion be made self-supporting, the ad ministration expense being paid for by the employers and employes. A third suggestion is that the state. Instead of appropriating a sum based on esti-i mates, give a fixed amount for the ad jnintstratton. It la likely that the cost or sup plies will be reduced. Supplies may not cost less in 191?. but in 1920 it Ik expected that the cost may be l"cr rent less than It Is at this tlin." of t ompfling the budget. An Item of $24. 20 for the Stats Council of Defense an be saved, as that organization has completed Its mission. A pavilion was built by the State Fair board to cost $r.00". Members of the board have given their notes to finance the structure. On the theory tliat no building improvements are essential, the IS... 000 can be taken off the budget. War Activities fcaaew. About tl0.0o can be slashed from the Oregon Agricultural College esti mate and $200 000 from the L'nlverelty f Oregon. These sums can be saved because the war is over and anticipated war activities, calling for greater ac commodations and incidental expense. ro longer exist. There is a supposi tion, too. that the Government will make some sort of provision for ex penses already Incurred. An Item in the I'niversity of Oregun budget calls for $100,000 toward constructing and r-iuippmg an armory and another $i'0."00 toward constructing a wom en a building. About $vO,0O0 for dormitories csn be eliminated from the estimate of the some for the feeble-minded. The Pat ton Homo received $00 in 1315 and ll and $5000 In 1917 and 1)1$. By restoring the old 1000 appropriation $S00 can be saved in the budget. Maintenance of Oregon products calls for li.lJ7. Of the total amount 170 is for salaries and $4009 for rents. Out of the estimated $13,157 $1477 remains for the procuring, and preserving of exhibits. The rish and t.anie commission asks for an appropriation of $0,400.

Revocation of some of the powers delegated to the Orgoii Public Service Commission is sought in a bill introduced in the senate today by Sen ator Huston, of Multnomah, which pro vides that the Public Service Commis sion shall not have authority to in crease rates charged by public service corporations, when such rates were in voked through contracts between the corporation and cities prior to Sep tember I a. 1913. The bill, according to Senator Hus ton, is designed primarily to forestall any further increase in street railway fares in Portland. "When a public: util ity and a municipality have enterd into a solemn contract for furnishing commodity to the public. I do not be lieve the Public Service Commission should be given authority to increase the rata agreed upon," said Senator Huston. rr -wssm inT lUU GETTIN' IN JPf BETTER ee- f:05v Y If I 'rr n,s U I ill tiftffS'!

Opposition . to the McAdoo plan which would allow the railroads to remain under Government control experimen tally for five years is voiced in the answer of the Public Service Commls sion to the request of Charles K. Elm- ciuist. president of the National Asso ciation of Railway and Utility Com missioners, and approval is expressed of a plan for return to control under the Interstate Commerce Commission and the state commissions in a tele gram sent today. The Oregon commission outlines its plan as follows: "We are opposed to the five-year plan now urged before Congress for the reason that industries and short line roads of this state cannot endure a continuation or tne extreme nanai cap under which they have patriotically endeavored to operate during f ederal control. Shippers cannot continue pay ing a greater proportionate increase n rales than that ot tneir competitors of more favorable locations when they 11 reach the same competitive mar ket in the East. "Railroad officials under whatever title they may act being clothed with Federal authority with responsibilities, approaching obligations, to the roads which they formerly represented can not fairly and equitably at the same time act as original arbiters and judges in controversies that constantly arise between shippers and railroads, and it will continue to result in more or less confusion and delay, unfairness to shippers and unsatisfactory service to the general public. The undeter-1 mined legal aspect of the state Juris diction, coupled with the uncertainties of redress, force the opinion that any extension of the period of Federal con trol as at present constituted is a dis advantage for the people in general throughout the West, and very inad visable. "Consideration should be given to the fact that continuation of present status or control Xor five years might easily operate to make mandatory Govern ment ownership of railroads, irrespec live of either its reliability or desir ability at the expiration of that time. "Federal control exercised through an Interstate Commerce Commission with enlarged powers and supervision of the issuance of securities, with the authority of the state commissions to assist and protect their citizens on intrastate matters fully conserved, ap pears absolutely necessary in view of past and recent experiences in trans portation problems which have vitally affected interests of Oregon and the entire West. The reversion ot rail roads to I. C. C. and state control should cause no apprehension either to the public or the railroads there are no statutory freight or passenger rates in Oregon consequently carriers could file tariffs corresponding to the present rates effective under usual procedure and both shipper and carrier receive ampfo protection pending any neces sary investigation or adjustments which, if made, would be on a fair and equitable basis governed by facts in particular cases with due consideration to rate structures and the necessity of revenues to meet the increased costs. Our powers are not arbitrary and or ders are Issued on actualities. "The Supreme Court of Oregon in an opinion said: 'The infrequency of ap peals from orders of the Commission indicates that the Commissioners selected by the people of the state to see that the rights of the public in matters of transportation are properly protected have, performed that duty fairly and faithfully.' "Hundreds of amicably adjusted dif ferences between the public and, the railroads, so we are advised by mem bers of our courts, have greatly re duced litigation before them and at a considerable saving in cost to the poople. "The co-operation of the shipper and the railroad is essential to reconstruc tion and the people after a long and arduous fight divorced the railroads from politics and now to establish by regulation, control or ownership through regional or other relations centralized in any one person or class. would be the means of constructing a political machine with no direct obliga tion to the people." UBOR MEETING IS CALLED WORKERS TO RE-ESTABLISH RIGHT OF FREE SPEECH. Mayor Ole Hanson, Seattle, to Hold Police Reserves In Readiness to Suppress Disorders. SKATTLE, Wash.,- Jan. 13. Organ ized labor in Seattle, through the Metal Trades Council Tuesday night and the Central Labor Council Wednes day night, will consider a resolution setting 5 o'clock Thursday afternoon as the time for a general open-air labor mass meeting.

Influenza is produced hy a bacilhta or germ coming- chiefly from dis charges from the nose, throat and lungs of the person who coughs, sneezes, or spits. The person at tacked feels chilly, develops a high temperature usually accompanied by headache and "aeh-e all over" as it is usually described If you have the above symptoms get into bed as quickly as possible, after a hot mustard foot-bath. Take a good purgative, such as one made up of May-apple, leaves of aloe, root -of jalap, and sold in every drug store as Dr. Pierce's Pleasant PeDets. Then surround yourself with hot water bottles. It is a fact mentioned by physicians of the largest experience that the effort on the part of nature to throw off the poisons results sometimes in inflammation of the kidneys. It is therefore very important to assist nature in eliminating the toxins (poisons) from the body thru the bowels, skin and kidneys. Not only should this be carefully attended to by the sick, but by the person who wishes to ward off an attack. A -kidney remedy called "An uric" (anti-urie) can be obtained of the druggist. This "An uric flushes the bladder and kidneys and throws off the poisons (toxins), and should be taken with hot water or hot lemonade. Clear the nose with some good antiseptic spray or Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.
