10 TIIE 3I0RXIXG OREGONIAX, MOXDAT, FEBRUARY D, 1920 IF ALL LEVIES PASS, TAXES WILL DOUBLE Millage 100 Per Cent Biggerii CitK I IIUII I U I V UVVVflB RETROACTION ONE CAUSE Three Bills, if Vetoed, Will Apply' to 1920 as Well as 1021; Will Require Double Assessment. SALEM. Or., Feb. 8. (Special.) In case all the millage tax measures to be submitted to the voters of Ore gon at the special election to be held on May 21 are approved, the etate tax lexy next December will exceed the levy made in December, 1919. by more than 100 per cent, according to state officials who have given the i proposed laws careful study and con- I l iilnm t inn Three of the millage bills, if passed, will apply to 1920 as well as to 1921 and subsequent years. As a result of this and the tact that the levy for 1920 was made last December it will be necessary to make a double levy next December covering both the years 1920 and 1921. The state tax levy made last De cember totaled 14. 391. 208. according to the official records, and it is esti mated that if the millage bills meet the approval of the voters, it will be necessary to raise at the time of making the next levy approximately $10,000,000. Officials eay there is no other way to obtain the money this year regardless of their desire to re lieve the taxpayers of the burden some taxation. . , College Support Decided. The millage measure providing for the support and maintenance of the Oregon Agricultural college, Uni versity of Oregon and Monmouth Normal school provides for raising approximately $1,247,947 annually, based on the present valuations of the etate. Because the levy already has been made for this year it is specified in the bill that this sum , shall be appropriated directly from the funds of the state this year. This sum. It is declared by officials. is not available from the state treas ury, however, and must be raised by taxation. The proposed new levy for educa tional purposes as computed by per sons In touch with the purposes of the bill will raise, in addition to the present appropriations, $679,155.75 for the Oregon Agricultural college, $509,366.81 for the University of Ore . gon, and $59,426.13 for Monmouth .Normal. There also is a bill before the voters calling for a levy of 2 mills for the support and maintenance of the elementary schools of the state. This levy would produce $1,980,870.94, while the measure providing a levy of two-tenths of a mill with which to insure operation of the soldiers, , sailors and marines educational aid act would produce $198,687.09. These two levies necessarily will have to be taken into consideration in the final analysis of the tax situation. Rrtroaetion In Provided. As all three of these acts provide that the money derived from the levies shall be retroactive as of the! year 1920, it would De necessary to make such a lavy next December as would produce approximately twice the sum realized from the levy made late in the year 1919. There is also a bill at Issue pro viding for a millage tax to provide an institution for the blind. This measure would not become effective until next year, however, and would not materially affect this year's levy .In addition to these millage meas ures there must be raised by state tax money for the regular expenses of the commonwealth, which this vear asrerecates $4,000,000. Neither of the millage acts to be submitted to the people are affected by the 6 per cent limitation amendment, nor does It apply to the 1-mill market road measure passed in the year 1917 or the service men's educational aid ct of 1919. The officials are somewhat aroused over the situation confronting the state at the present time, and would gladly consider any solution of the problem. They are especially de sirous of eliminating a double tax levy next December, and it is prob able that the entire matter will be referred to the attorney-general for investigation.

It was Tanlac that overcame my twenty years of suffering and I am now ready to tell the world about this remarkable medicine," said Frank A. Gardner, who owns and operates a vegetable garden at the corner of Illinois and Mount View avenues, Los ' Angeles. Cal. ' "It was back In 1900 that my health broke down," he continued, "and since that time J have suffered all the mis ery that goes with stomach trouble, nervousness, sleeplessness and gen eral run-down condition. I could not eat a meal without bloating all up ,with gas and having awful pains and cramps in my stomach. My heart pal pitated so bad I thought I had heart trouble and I went about all the time with a heavy, stuffy feeling. I was so extremely nervous that at times I could not stand up and would have to stop work and lie down. At night I would roll and toss so that I could hardly get any rest at all and many a time I got no more than two hours' sleep. Then when morning came I felt worse than I did the night be fore and was o weak I never wanted to get out of bed. A year ago I got so bad off I gave up my position with the American Olive Co., where I had been employed for fourteen years, and started a vegetable garden In the hope that out-door work would help me. but I kept growing weaker and weaker all the time. "A friend of mine told me what Tanlac had done for him. so I started taking it and now I can say it has restored me to perfect health after twenty years of suffering. I am not careful about what I eat now, be cause everything agrees with me and I am never troubled with indigestion any more. My nerves are steady and at night I sleep like a log. I have gained twelve pounds in weight, can do as big a day's work as any man and am as sound as a dollar in every way. I feel better than I have in twenty years and I never lose an op portunity to praise Tanlac." Tanlac is sold in Portland by the Owl Drue Co. Adv. N "Anne of Green Gables," Mary Miles Minter has blossomed out from "the little girl that looks like Mary Pickford" to a full-blown star of goody size and radiance in her own right. "Anne of Green Gables" is this week's attraction at the Majestic theater. It is a picture story of good, bad and naughty kiddies, of a gossippy community and especially of a dear little old-fashioned household includ ing an aunt, uncle, ward and her be loved sweetheart. Anne is first shown as a freckied-faced youngster coming to live with her aunt and uncle. She confides to the Uncle that she has no hope of marriage because she is so homely that nobody but & chimney sweep would consider her. But there is something about this freckled -faced individual that leads her to be the ruier of a small band of kiddies, all possessing freckles, lovableness and streaks of goodness and naughtiness, all of which help make the picture en tertaining and amusing. Her develop ment into a woman sought by a clean- cut American lad is the story of "Anne of Green Gables." A Snub Pollard comedy proves sur prisingly good fun. It is a story of crooks who are actually getting cross eyed irom watching each other that is, according to the picture's own titles. "Eyes of Youth," a ballad, the words and music by Cecil Teague, Majestic organist, proved one of the especially interesting points in yesterday's spe cial concert. Mr. Teague played it and then a baritone who on a dark ened stago sang the words. His hearty encores necessitated the repetition of the chorus a number of times. Screen Gossip. A remarkable adaptation of linhrrt W. Chambers' novel, "The Fighting Chance." is said to have been made by Will M. Ritchey. Paramount-Art-craft's scenario expert.

AH Trades Demand $1 Dallv Increase; Plasterers Ask for $11 for 1920. BUTTE, Mont., Feb. 8. That the employers of Butte offered the build- ng trades unions a better contract for 1920 than the agreement signed by the Employers' association of greater New York on the one hand, and the Building Trades council, represent ing about 130,000 tradesmen, on the other, is the gist of a statement issued tonight by the master builders' group of the Associated Industries. In New York December 19. 1919, the building tradesmen of the city en tered into an agreement with the building trades employers whereby the building trades mechanics are to receive wages at $8 a day for 1920, except the plasterers, who are to re ceive $8.50, and the hod carriers J6. In Butte the present scale is J9 a day for bricklayers, plasterers and plumb ers, $8 for carpenters, electricians, painters, sheet metal workers, tinners and metal lathers, and 7 for hod carriers. The demand from the me chanics in Butte for 1920 is $1 a day ncrease for all except plasterers, who want $11 a day, says the statement. Government statistics quoted by the master builders in Butte show that the cost of living to the worker is higher in New York City than in Butte, yet the building trades workers of greater New York signed up for 920 at a lower wage scale than the 1919 wage scale for Butte, according to the employers' statement.
