BUDGET IS ADOPTED;
GO PROTEST HEARD
School Needs Coming Year
Placed at $4,475,900.
TEACHERS WILL GET LIFT
Total ot $146,0 00 Provided lor
Increased Salaries Taxpayers
Apparently Satisfied.
The budget providing: $4. 475. 900. to
run the ecliools of the Portland dis
trict for the coming year, was adopted
at the echool board meeting yester
day with, not a single taxpayer pres
ent. The meeting had been advertised
for the past 20 days to give ariy. tax
payer opportunity to appear before
tho board and object to any item in
the budget.
The echool board had expected that
the item of $146,000 for increases in
teachers salaries -might have called
forth either favorable or unfavorable
comment.
'"Apparently the public is entirely
satisfied to leave the mater in the
hands of the board," said Jt. H.
Thomas, school clerk, at the conclu
sion of the meeting.
Xo definite apportionment of the
increase for teachers haa been decided
upon by the board, although the ques
tion has been discussed several times.
The board will determine soon the
amount of increase to be given prin
cipals, teachers and others. The total
amount provided by the budget for
salaries for instruction is J2.508.050.
Tux to Provide $2,054,000.
The total amoun. to be raised by
tax levy for operation and mainten
ance of the schools of the district is
$2,054,000. This is a levy of 6.5 mills,
and an increase of $7!.000 over the
li.vy of th current year. In addi
tion $35,400 must be raised for the
Kinkintr fund and the interest on
bonds. The levy will be made on an
a.sspisse'l valuation of $316,000,000.
The law provides that the school
board cannot levy more than 6.5 mills
for operation, support and mainte
nance, but the excess of .3 mill is
Jepal because it is made to pay off the
bonded indebtedness.
In addition to the money to be
' raised by special levy, the board has
available $915,000 by special levy, au
thorized June 19. 1928; $658,000 from
the 2-niill tax levy authorized in May.
1920; $114,000 from the state school
fund; $5S3,000 from the county school
fund, and $56,000 from delinquent
taxes, tuition and interest on bank
balances.
Itnildinc I'nnd Available.
The total of nearly $1,000,000 voted
by epecial levy last June Is to be used
for bui-ldingrs and grounds alone.
All members of the board were
present except George B. Thomas,
who is in, the east on. a trip for the
board.
The report submitted by D. A.
Grout, city superintendent, on the
charges made against Hugh Boyd,
principal of "Washington high school,
was accepted by the board. Mr. Boyd
was accused of permitting student
of his school to play on the fotoball
team when they should have been
disqualified because of Poor work in
their studies.
. Mr. Grout's report said that thi9
applied to only one student, who did
not have a passing grade in his Eng
lish, work. "Mr. Boyd reports." said
air. Grout, "that it was his under
standing that the practice was to per
mit a. boy to play if he made a pass
ing' grade in two-thirds of his
studies. We doubt not that Mr. Boyd
was laboring under a misapprehen
sion, but think that the Washington
team should not benefit thereby.
Game Forfeit Heeommeaaed.
Mr. Grout recommended that the
league offiicals should forfeit the
Washington-Columbia game, in which
this boy played, to Columbia. He also
declared, and the board upheld him,
that the league is too large and
should bo reduced in size or divided
into two sections.
- '"Ths schedule requires a game m
week for every team." he said. "This
is too hard on the teams and makes
it difficult for the boys to keep .up
in their studies."
The board also decided that each
should have a committee of teachers
to pass upon the eligibility of play
ers, and that the high school princi
pals should be asked to present rec
ommendations for the betterment of
interscholastio athletics. The board
decided to "suggest that some re
quirement be made covering football
players' attendance beyond the games
so that only bona fide students may
participate in them."
Some Boya Quit School.
This action was taken following
Mr. Grout's statement that "it devel
oped in the investigation that some
of the boys left school immediately
upon the completion, of the football
' season.
The regular board meeting will not
"be held this afternoon, since the pro
gramme of business was taken, up at
yesterday's meeting.

The slaughter house operated by the
T. R Howitt company was closed
Last night by order of T. R. Howitt,
who. although not actively connected
with the management, has financial
connections with the business and the
welcoming tstock handled by this company will
hereafter be killed at a slaughter
house which is satisfactory to the
city officials.
This announcement was . made by
Mr. Howitt at a meeting held in City-
Commissioner Mann'a office, where
various independent packers conferred
with the city council and health
bureau.
It developed at this hearing that
the Sterrett Packing company's plant
en the Columbia slough was one of
the cleanest slaughter house-s in the
city, but the objection raised by the
city officials was to a leaking sewer
and to a fertilizer plant about one
block from the slaughter house.
Sterrvtt Plant Model One.
J. L. Sterrett, principal owner of the
Sterrett Packing company, told- the
city officiate that he had always com
plied with every order issued by the
health bureau, had been told by the
officials that his plant was a model
slaughter house and though it " was
not of sufficient size to care for his
business he was forced to continue
using it until such time as he could
make arrangements for the erection
of a new plant, which, under the
present plans, will coist between $500,-
000 and $1,000,000.
Mr. Howitt explained that he had
not been actively connected with the
slaughter house under fire for months
and that therefore he was not aware
of conditions existing at the plant
As quickly as he learned of the con
ditions he ordered the plant closed
he said.
Conditions to Be Improved.
"The slaughter house which the
commissioners visited was located in
a rented building. 1 know that plans
have been on foot to move elsewhere,
but after retiring from active man.
agement, because, of illness, I did not
take part in any of the' deliberations
of the directors. I have been in busi
ness in Portland for more than a
years and I do not wish to have it
believed that I am personally respon
sible for the conditions revealed on
the inspection tour."
City Health Officer Parrish told
the council that the meat in the plants
under discussion was not affected
that the Sterrett plant itself was in
sanitary shape, but that the Howitt
plant should not be permitted to op
erate for one moment.
Mr. Sterrett assured the council
that he would order the sewer oom
Plained of repaired immediately, and
that he would continue to follow ou
all instructions received from th
city health bureau.
During' the progress of the hear
ing Mr. Sterrett brought out the fact
that negotiations were pending be
tween himself and certain indlvi
duals, whom he did not name, for th
rurnisning or capitoi to be used in
enlarging the Sterrett interests in
Portland and for the establlshmen
of a modern packing plant In this
city.
I. H. O'Xeil Penalized Des-pite Plea
of Ignorance That Whisky
Was on Premises.
One dollar for every gallon of moon
shine found on the poultry farm of
I. H. O'Neil. on the Barr road, was the
penalty levied on the owner by Dis
trict Judge Jones yesterday. O'Neil.
who maintained he knew nothing of
the presence of 240 gallons of corn
whisky, which apparently had been
manufactured in a chicken house on
his premises, voluntarily appeared
yesterday morning at the sheriff's
office, in company with his attorney.
He said he had learned of the raid on
his home by reading of it in the
morning paper.
O'Neil declared his willingness to
plead guilty to a charge of having In
toxicating liquor in his possession,
since he had been assured that it was
found en his place. However, he main
tained that he had leased the property
to Richard Mack, and had only re
turned to the place on November 16.
Ho said he believed the liquor had
been made In his absence. He de
clared he did not know Mack's where
abouts. It required a truck.to remove the
whisky, which was the largest amount
ever taken at one time by the sher
iff's office. Two stills were found on
the place, as well as 41 empty sugar
sacks. O'Neil said he had made no
close investigation of his property.
The liquor was buried in the chicken
house and pig pen.
Deputy' Sheriff Christoff arson told
the court it had been reported to him
that a great many automobiles had
been seen to stop at the poultry farm,
apparently for the purpose of carry
ing away liquor."

on
Reform
Editor of Oregonian, who un
derstand reform among other de
licious American humor.
Dearie Sir:
Of lately I meet Lee Woo after
not seeing him for one (1) wk
because he were not visible.
"Where have been so recent
ly?" I decry, making pump mo
tion of right arm.
"Reforming with oratorie," he
recroach. "From now forth I am
to strike with all biceps of my
soul to save country."
"From what are it to be saved,"
I ask to know those enquiry.
"How could I tell," Lee Woo
corrode. "I have not been re
forming so long to know some
thing." "Few reformers has," I snag
ger. Lee Woo scruch me with angry
eyebrows. "I shall tell you this
information of knowledge," he
report, "I stand with plan for
economy, rapid preparedness, and
plenty for all."
"That are not reform," I
snub in.
"Then what are it?" he pro
nounce peevely.
"Economy, rapid preparedness
and plenty for all stand for Red
Triangle Brand Chinese Plain
Noodles," I gib, entirely sly but
correctively.
Hoping you are the same.

History, Her Literature, Her Great

"More standard literature was pro
duced in Oregon in the first 50 years
of its existence than was produced
by all the 13 colonies in their first
half century," said Professor Horner.
"In fact, the more noted authors of
the northwest and the two chief au
thors of California were from the
"Willamette valley.
"The setting apart of a week near
the approaching- holidays for this oc
casion recognition at home of the
literary workers of Oregron Is a
mark of respect which will be ap
prpoiated hy all lovers of Orfgon lore.
It Is remindful of the old corner book
store in Boston, where Longf ellow.
Emerson, Whlttier, Lowell, Haw
thorn and others met and discoursed
many of the themes that developed
into the permanent literature of our
country."

Refrigeration
and Meat
iT-.-gga fjrntt- Sea?S ir r?stJ
I
In less than an hour after an
animal is dispatched in a Swift &
Company packing plant, it is hanging
up as meat in a room brought by
refrigerating machinery to a tem
perature just above freezing.
From that time until it is in your
own ice box within two to three
weeks it is kept at the same tem
perature; first in the coolers at our
packing plants; next' on our refrig
erator cars, more than 6,000 of which
are constantly moving to market
with their perishable cargoes; then
in our refrigerator rooms at our
branch selling houses; then in your
dealer's ice box, and last in your own.
Only for the few minutes while
it is being put into the refrigerator
cars at our packing plants, or taken
out of them at our branch houses,
or whisked to your retailer in our
trucks, is it exposed to any change
of temperature.
Without a skilled use of this sys
tem of cooling, made possible by
modern science, you could not get
fresh meat, prepared under most
sanitary conditions, except at greater
expense -unless you happened to
live so near live stock raising centers
that your needs could be supplied
from live stock raised near-by.
If the foregoing raises any question in
the mind of the reader, we will endeavor
to answer it, upon request.
