THE MORNING OREGONIAN. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1921 .90,000 FOR RELIEF THOUGHT TOO LITTLE WOMAN CONVICTED OF SECOND DEGREE MURDER FOR POISON- ING HER FOURTH HUSBAND. MAY LEASE PLANTS Business Men Ask Tax Body to Make-Item $100,000. Problem Created by Split Is Near Solution. COUNTY METHODS RAPPED LEAGUE pFFERS TERMS Commission SuKeests System to Friendly Sleeting Is Held and Re conciliation of Factions Is Held Possible. Provide Check on Funds Within Few Hours After Expense. 8 CLATSOP DAIRYMEN f Although J89.n00 Is placed in the county budget for relief, a swarm of people moved in on the tax supervis ing and conservation commission yes terday and urged that the Item b tilted to Slbo.AOA at least. In addition to hearing-' of the need of relief in the county, which mesne really Portland, the commission was Informed that with women Jurors part of the legal machinery next year there will bs an increased expense in providing for their accommodation. Early in the present year the county commissioners turned over county re lief work to the publto welfare bu reau and this bureau now acta as asrent for the county. The county re lief appropriation was exhausted in the first six months, ainos which time the county commissioners have trans ferred balancea from other budget Items for relief. aiOO.000 Declared Needed. The 1922 budget baa an Hem of 110.000 for relief, but Ben Selling. J. C. English and others urged that this be Increased to $100,000 at least. Jponey spent by the bureau in 1921 will far exceed that sum. Mr. Belling, a no has had 35 years of benevolent work back of him, explained that, while the public welfare bureau is not doing as well as it might, or as he hoped It would, still It is doing this relief work better than has been done in the past. Tho 100.000 requested he referred to as "a pitifully small amount." Before the Item can bo increased, explained chairman Mulkey of the tux supervising commission, the coun ty commission must make a formal, written request that the amount be imreased. It developed In the hearing that the community chest has been resisting the public welfare bureau and that the community chest will launch another drive next spring. Better Records Suggested. A somewhat slipshod method Is In vogno In dealing with the county relief appropriation by the public welfare bureau, it appeared. The bu reau contracts bills for relief and there Is no means of knowing when the bureau will overdraw the fund, which It has already done. A sug gestion was made that as requisitions for supplies are drawn by the bu reau a duplicate be filed with the county purchasing agent, and thus Information will be available wlthis 24 hours' Instead of 30 days. Taxpayers will draw no comfort or solace, from the observations of the public welfare bureau workers as to the type of people receiving relief. Only about 5 per cent are of normal mentality people who have met with reverses and are sick or down on their luck. The remain ing 5 per cent are of low mentality and what are -known as near-Institutional cases. This class, once it be gins taking relief, never gets out of the habit; the children, follow in the footsteps of the parents, and so on sd Infinitum. Another thing about this class Is that It Is prolific. The bu reau has given relief, already this year, to 2577 families. Women to Cause More Expense. In the general discussion between the budget commission and circuit judges, these things were brought out: The courthouse was built for a courthouse, but so many outside or ganizations are being sheltered in it that the legal machinery is handi capped. Judge Stapleton declared that the courthouse should be cleaned out, but Judge Kavanaugh was of the fiplnion that the legal machinery does not need the entire courthouse, al though more room Is necessary than is now available. When women be come Jurors next year It will necessi tate installing more plumbing and the construction of dormitories; the prep aration of restrooms and the employ ment of female bailiffs and matrona. What all these things will cost, the circuit Judges haven't the slightest idea. i'iumblng, breaking through walls, arrangement of screens and other al teration In the courthouse should be attended to by the county commis sioners, but that body, explained Judge Stapleton, does not want the cost put into the budget of ths county commissioners and so, at the request of ths eounty officers, ths Judges have agreed to have such items in serted' In their own budget. But what all these things will eost the Judges confess they haven't an idea. More Judges Declared Needed. While they were on the subject, the Judges Informed the tax super visors that there Is mors work, thsn the present number of Judgea can handle, even when a couple of outside Judges are called In. These visitors are pot given courtrooms and cham bers suitably furnished. It was pre dicted that nine Judges will soon be needed in Multnomah, county perma nently. No hearings w'll be held by ths tax supervising commission today, but next week they will have hearings on a couple of legal departments and will tske up the cltv budget.

A - committee representing the Clatsop dairymen met with officials of the Dairymen's league here yes terday afternoon and requested soma kind ef an arrangement whereby they would ba permitted to use the plants of the league. This commit tee was composed of K. F. Johnson, County Agriculturists McMindes and J. E. Roman. After ths meeting with the com mittee from Astoria the members of ths executive board of the league and K. C. Eldridge, manager of the league, decided to permit ths Clatsop dairymen to use the plants, upon certain conditions. - What the con ditions are to be were not revealed. Arrangement Oply Temporary. If the Clatsop dairymen agree to take over the plants on ths terms impoaed by ths league, the arrange ment will be only temporary. It was said. It was declared that the mat ter would be taken up for considera tion at ths annual - meeting of ths league about the first of the year, when any arrangement may be con firmed or changed. Hopes that the dairymen of ths Clatsop district might decida to re affiliate with the dairymen's league were expressed in league circles. It was said that ths meeting between the committee from Astoria and league Micials was entirely frendly and made reconciliation seem pos sible. If ths lower Columbia dairymen take over ths league plants In the Clatsop district, this will solve one fi the problems which the league had to face as a result of the revolt of the members in that district. S40O.O0O Owed on Plants. The plants owned by the league srs being paid for by annual payments and consequently the revolt of about 16 per cent of the membership, of the league meant that a greater burden would be placed unon other members. Ths league owes in all about iOO,C0o for plants in various Darts of the state. A lease or sale of the Plants In the Clatsop district would take care of the financial obligation incurred by the league. It was declared. This would mean that the other mem her. of the- league would be responsible only for those plants which they are actually using and then consequently wouia not oe .unaer any greater fi nancial obligation than previous to the revolt. If the Clatsop dairymen decide to take over the league's plants. It is ex pected that the negotiations will bs completed within the next few daya. DEAL IS REPORTED MADE Clatsop Plants Declared to Have Been Turned Over by League. ASTORIA, Or., Nov. 4. (Special.)
