Campaign statements that city expense has been increased
125 per cent since 1917 are deliberate misrepresentation.
O
The increase in the expense of running the city (exclusive of bond interest) has been 48.6
per cent since 1917 .Portland's city service now costs less per capita thanany other coast city
(Signed) GEORGE FUNK, City Auditor.
How does this compare with apartment house rent increases? Economical administration by
Mayor Baker has made Portland's increased expense since 1917 less than that of any other
coast city, and less than the increase in the average business institution or home. ' " ,'

grillage Tax Puts Faculty la Strong
I'osition and Enables Building
Operations to Be Resumed.
The growth of the University of
Oregon since the passing of the mill?
age tax bill last spring, and the com
prehensive plans now being; carried
out for future development in bulld-
ncB and faculty personnel, were ex
plained in detail by Dean Colin V.
Dyment of the University of Oregon
at the alumni "get-together" lunch
eon at the Benson hotel Saturdr.y.
Dean Dyment told of the losing
battle thut the university waged
prior to the passing of the millage
bill, and of the Impetus given the
educational Wurk of the university
when the bill received the support of
the people of the state.
"Before the passing of the millage
tax bill, which put the university on
a sound financial standing, we were
unable to get the best Instructors
.available." said Dyment. "We were
unible to pay enough. Now we can
get instructors who compare favor
ably in standing with the best In
the land."
A tremendous building programme
is being carried out on the campus,
according to Dyment. The value of
the buildings nner construction this
year including the woman's building,
which was financed by public sub
scription, Is 760,(O0. and 460 000
'
more probably ' will be spent next
year.
"The success of a university is not
measured by superficial appear
ances," said Dyment. "It cannot be
measured by outward and visible
things, social activities or athletics.
Its real success lies in the habits of
thought formed and the gradual ac
quisition of knowledge. The time Is
coming when the awarding of the
Rhodes scholarship to a University
of Oregon (student will mean more
than . victory over O. A. C. in foot
ball." Dean Lawrence of the school of
architecture, pointed out with the
aid of an architect's sketch, the far
reaching building plans contemplated
by the university.
Marion MacLean, graduate man
ager of athletics, pleaded for future
support of athletics at the university,
pointing out that the student body
was still in debt fpr the construction
of Hayward field and stadium.
Dr. John Straub, dean of the school
of liberal arts, known personally to
every student who has attened the
University of Oregon for the Jast 40
years, save a short address of wel
come. Dr. Robert Kuykendall presided t
the luncheon, which was attended by
more than 50 alumni arid students.

WEST DECLARED FOR COX
Xevada Senator Claims All but
Pacific Coast Stales.
SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 31. Success
for Governor Cox of Ohio, candidate
for president, in all Rocky mountain
and far-western states, except Cali
fornia. Oregon and Washington was
forecast by United States Senator
Pittman of Nevada, manager of the
western headquarters for the demo
cratic national committee. In a state
ment here tonight.
Senator Pittman said:
"From all reports coming into the
western headquarters n regard to
CASTOR I A
For Infants and Children
In Use For Over SO Years
Always bears if
Signature of
western states, it is certain Cox will
carry every far-western stnte except
Washington. Oregon and California.
"Jn Washington the labor element
is turning from Christcnsen to Cox,
which makes the chances for Cox bet
ter than those of Harding. The vote
in Oregon has been greatly affected
by Senator Harding's recent state
ment that the only safety for the
United Slates is to stay out of the
league. The pro-league eentlment In
Oregon is overwhelming, and Oregon
is now a doubtful state with a drift
toward Cix.
"Jn s.oufhern California by reason
of the strong pro-league sentiment
the vote will be evenly divided be
tween Cox and Harding.
"San Francisco will give a majority
for Harding. This will be overcome
by the majority for Cox in Fresno,
Stockton, Santa Rosa, and the mining
counties, where there is a strong
labor vote."
