PEASANTS' FLEE FAMINE
Impending . Catastrophe Reported
in Central Russia.
LONDON, Nov. 2. (Special Cable.)
Feasants In great numbers are mov
ing southward to escape an impend
ing famine in central Russia, accord
ing to the Daily Telegraph's corre
spondent with General Wrangel's
troops. This is the first real testi
mony that has reached here of the
terrible catastrophe which has been
predicted for that region and which,
as experts have agreed, must inevit
ably tend to overwhelm soviet Russia
in the coming winter.
"We have evidence," the corre
spondent writes, "from an intelligent
and trustworthy observer who, under
an assumed name, has had exceptional
facilities for travel all over soviet
Russia. He says definitely that the
peasants of several provinces on the
right bank of the Volga are leaving
their homes by thousands."

BUDGET DRAFT TO START
ESTIMATE OP CITY EXPENSES
FOR 1921 PUT AT 94,037,735.
Members of Council Will Pare To
tal of $100,000, Report; Fire
Bureau Needs Money.
Work of compiling the 1921- budget
of expenditures for the city of Port
land will begin Friday, according to
announcement by Mayor Bakor.
Estimates of expenditures for the
various municipal departments
amounting to J4, 037,735 have -been
filed with City Commissioner Pier, in
charge of the department of finance.
These estimates will be cut by mem
bers of the council, it is said, as at
least JlOOiOOO Included in the esimates
must be eliminated. '
In addtion to this, the council Is
determined to add necessary equip
ment to the fire bureau, and to do
this it will be necessary to lop off
from every department's estimate to
provide sufficient funds with which
to purchase the fire equipment.
The three-mill tax which the voters
passed upon yesterday does not give
the ' city any additional funds, but
simply enables the council to levy the
same amount of taxes that were
raised for 1920. As a result, passage
of this measure will not enable the
council to Increase any salaries or to
increase the service of the city ma
terially. The budget must be filed with City
Auditor Funk by November 15, and to
do this the members of the council
will be forced to have day and night
sessions for the next eight days.
Usually the council has at least three
weeks to prepare the budget, but be
cause the third Monday in November
this year happens to be November
15, the time given the commissioners
to complete the budget has been
shortened considerably.
However, inability to Increase sal
aries of city employes relieves the
city council of one perplexing prob
lem in connection with the prepara
tion of tlje budget.
A year ago, it required days of
time to study the needs of the em
ployes and prepare anv equitable scale
of salary increases. Although the
three-mill tax was supported by vir
tually all city employes, many feel
dissappointed that even Its passage
holds forth no hope for Increased
salary.
But even though the council is re
lieved of the salary increase worry,
it is confronted with the problem of
setting aside money for an increased
fire bureau, maintenance of parks and
playgrounds purchased during the
past year as well as other services in
stalled at the request of the voters,
and having no more money to ap
propriate than was availagble one
year ago. ,
Members of the council hope to be
able to set aside not less than $200,000
to be used as an emergency fund,
with which to pay for the solving of
such problems- as a snow blockade,
epidemics and other emergencies.
