Decrease.
Few Declines Since 1901.
Very few declines In tax levies In
tlie county have been noted since
1901, out the Increase has been much
nreafter In the past few years. The
year 1913 marked the highest point
the county had until 1918, and a sharp
Uecllne was made the following year,
due In part to change in the state's
lethod of computing the taxes. This
drop was only temporary, and the
Increase has been steady ever elnce.
The city's loss of municipal revenues
m c,M,rra other thftn tftTAtiOTl
and the European war were important
Items which helped to start an up
ward tendency. By 1917 the levy Was
again practically up to what it was
In 1913.
Assessor Welch has already hecun
the extension of the tax roll. When
completed the roll will be delivered
to Sheriff Hurlburt for collection,
which usually Is about February 1.

Veurla Taxed for State.
The difference between the county
valuation for purposes of state and
county taxation is accounted for by
the fact that under a constitutional
amendment adopted In 1916 certain
classes of vessels are assessed for
state taxes only, and are exempt from
ah other taxes.
The city of Portland contains 93
per cent of the county valuation sub
ject to local taxation. The levy Is

The county as a whole Is taxable
on five separate Items of expense:
state and county government, county
school lund, county uurary anu
market roads. The latter Item was
authorised by legislative action. The
Rose Festival was new last year and
i i v. ,. r ,, ,.,,,.!..
but was not Incluicd In the budget
this year. All of These Items of ex
pense show a decided increase over
last year.
State Levy Increased.
State taxes show an Increase of
Bl.vsi.si n.v over last year, or a ou
ference between 12.820,947.10 and
51,886,101.93, which Is approximately
tlS.3 per cent. Iast year the state
added to Its budget two new Items
uf expense: State market roads and
.soldiers, sailors nntl marines educa
tion act. This year the former Item
calls for $1,040,889.05, compared with
J990.435.47 last year, and the latter
S4l8.Jlt.62, compared with $198. 087.09
for last year. Both of these expendi
tures were authorized by the people,
and the total this year ts $1,437,174 67.
As Multnomah county now pays
SC. 1851 per cent of state taxes, It will
contribute $512,709.82 toward these
funds As was the case last year,
state taxes charged against Multno
mah county this year art the highest
In the history of the county. The
nearest approach was $1.6,0.737 on
the 1918 valuation. That was under
the old system, before the state ad
justed Its method of computation.
School Tax 2 Mills.
This year the state Is charging all
the counties of Oregon $9,493,105 22
is against $1,391,209 for last year.
rhla unusual Increase can De ac
ounted for by the addition of the
elementary school levy of 2 mills, au
:horlsed by vote of the people. This
evy will realize $2,081,678.10.
"The people li a ,1 their eyes open

reason for complaint," comments As
sessor Welch, "but when they voted
for three higher educational Institu
tions it was differentas the full text
of the new law reveals that at the

ELODMAMA packed with grlp-
tuatlons Is the basis for
New Tork Sleeps." at
the Columbia. The picture Is made
up of three separate stories of dra
matlc Incidents In the New Tork life.
These three plots are the kind that
O. Henry found in his Intimate stu
dies of America's metropolis.
The fact that the three plays within
a play are excellently presented by
the same talented cast furnishes an
Interesting study. Each player Is seen
in three distinct roles, and each de
serves great praise for so successfully
handling this difficult work.
The first story Is laid In a fashion
able suburban home. A pretty wife
is nappy in me love oi nor nusuanu
and baby, when out of the past comes
a man who threatens to destroy her
happiness. In a big dramatic scene
her quick wit saves her home from
his evil Influence.
The second play shows the life of
the Gay White Way, and a baffling
plot holds the interest of the audi
ence to the very end. The characters
ar familiar types in the feverish
swirl of Broadway and are well
drawn. Scenes for this portion of the
picture were taken In Zlegfeld's Mid
night Frolic show.
The final episode shifts to the
squalid setting of New York's east
side district. The outstanding fea
tures are Marc MacDermott's remark
able portrayal of a paralytic and a
thrilling revolver duel between har
bor police and a gang of thieves.
A contrast to the drama of the
feature at the Columbia is presented
by a rollicking comedy of the "Toon
erville Trolley" series. The Columbia
picture players furnish a musical ac
companiment for the programme that
contributes much to Its appeal.
Screen Gossip.
C. S. Jensen hss been missing
from film row during the last few
days. A severe cold has confined him
to his home.
"Very few people ever get Into
movie comedies with malice afore
thought," says Buster Keaton, film
star. "It is very seldom that we
hear of anyone who went directly
Into comedies with the purpose In
mind of rising to the top of that
branch of the motion-picture profession.
Gertrude Athertdti's next picture,
"Don't Neglect Your Wife." which is
how being screened, has part of Its
action take place In Five Points,
New York, in 1S69, when that section
was a symbol for poverty and crime.
Weeks, were spent In obtaining all
the prints of the district, and descrip
tions of it, so a realistic scene could
be built. The proof that the work
was well done came when buzzards
and sea gulls swooped over the set
and could not, without difficulty, K
driven away.
