Only Part of Estimates Acted On and
"With All Passed It Is Expected
Saving- Will Total Close
to $400,000
That the 1915 tax levy for Portland
will be the lowest in several years is
shown by the manner in which the
City Commission, acting in the capacity
of budget committee, is cutting down
the proposed expenditures for the va
rious departments and for special ap
propriations for municipal improve
ments during 1915.
Starting out at the first of last week,
with a. budget which would require
a tax levy of about 7.3 mills, the Com
mission has trimmed out items ag
gregating 111.213. which will bring
the levy down at least to 7 mills. This
is the lowest levy since 1912. The Com
mision has acted only upon a small
part of the budget so far.
Other Reductions Likely.
By the time the rest of the depart
ments are checked over it is expected
the levy will be pulled down to the
lowest point since 1910. The levy fixed
for 1911 was 6.8 mills, and since that
time it has remained at 7.7 mills.
The saving in the cost of conducting
the municipality during 1915. judging
from tha manner the Commission is
attacking the budget, will amount to
between $350,000 and $400,000. With
these amounts cut out, there will be
left a sufficient sum to do considerable
improvement during 1915.
The Commission already has allowed
special appropriations for improve
ments aggregating $170,350. The
amount in years past generally has
been close to $500,000 and in some
years has gone higher.
Special Appropriations Listed.
Following is a list of the special ap
propriations, excepting a few small
ones, allowed by the Commission so
far in its budget considerations:
Additional fire alarm operator $ 1,110
Crew for fireboat George H. Williams 9.153
One addiltonal fire alarm lineman... 1,31,0
Two auto aerial hook and ladder
trucks for fire bureau on East side 25.000

rnntnirtlnn seven-Btorv frame drill
tower for fire bureau 2,500
Construction of shed for Fulton Park
volunteer fire department 250
Construction of berth for old fireboat 15,000
So far the budget committee has not
considered the appropriations for all
the fire bureau or for the police,
health and other bureaus of the
Department of Public Safety na has
not considered any of the Public
Works Department or the Dock Com
mission.

STREET REPAIRS PUZZLE
1ADD ADDITIO.V ASSOCIATION TRIES
TO PLACE RESPONSIBILITY.
Bond of Pa v In gr Company Provides Only
for Keeping Parts of Two
Streets in Repair.
The Ladd Addition Improvement As
sociation took steps at the meeting
held Friday night in the First United
Evangelical Church to ascertain all the
conditions under which the streets of
Ladd's Addition were paved in 1907,
with a view to some future action,
when it becomes necessary to repave
or repair them. The streets of this
addition were improved under a per
mit irora the city Engineer by the
Barber Asphalt Company, under an
agreement with the representatives of
the I-add estate, and the question of
repairs and repaving has come up in
connection with Ladd avenue. "
The secretary was instructed to ask
Mr. Strong, of the Iadd estate, to fur
nish the association with a copy of
the specifications. A lengthy opinion of
City Attorney La Roche was read at
the meeting, which holds that the
streets in Ladd's Addition were im
proved under a private contract with
the estate, and that contractors -are
responsible only for renewal of the
present pavements when required to do
so by the City Council. A copy of the
bond furnished by the Barber Asphalt
Company to the Ladd estate provides
only for keeping portions of Ladd are
nut and Palm street in repairs for 10
years was submitted. No other streets
in the addition are named in this bond.
It was declared that many of the streets
need repairing now. A meeting of the
association was called for October 30.

With three new T. M. C. A. build

several others just reopened, the affairs
of the association are in an encourag

interstate arid railroad secretary for
the Y. M. C. A. in Oregon and Wash

trip over his territory.
"I have just finished a trip from Eu

said Mr. Rhodes. "I visited about 15 as
sociations. "I think the most interesting work
of our association is at Payette, Idaho,
where, in a city of 2500 inhabitants,
they have just completed the rebuilding
of a $25,000 Y. M. C A. building. The
structure burned down last Winter.
Payette is one of the few small towns
in the country which can boast of pos

"The 330,000 railroad Y. M. c -A.

ing the total value of the plant about
$40,000. The cornerstone of the new
Y. M. C. A. building at Astoria was
laid a week ago. The wails are already
completed.
"We have just reopened our two Y.
M. C. A. houses at the Celilo Canal.
They were closed last Summer when
the work stopped on the canal. we
have another association at Arrow

We bave been inducing the men to put
their money in the savings banks. Tfhe
result is that they are saving from

town's payroll."
Mr. Rhodes left Portland for La

a brave youns man,
PORTLAND,- Oct. 17. (To the Edi
tor.) The war In Europe demon
strates what serious conditions may
develop from mistakes of government.
Business in Orego faces a crisis. Bet
ter opportunity could not be hoped for.
Our great resources, the development
we have attained, our favorable rela
tion to the great markets opening be
fore us. the display of our resources at
San Francisco in 1915, all combine in
our favor, but business cannot pros
per if we make laws to forbid it.
To write a law into Oregon's con
stitution Is like throwing a sledge
hammer into the works of a clock.
Constitutions are to define a plan of
government, to determine fundamental
and acknowledged rights of persons
and property, and in the clearest possi
ble manner prescribe how laws shall
be made, limiting the extent to which
private rights may be abridged for the
public welfare. Thus, the constitution
s the one instrument by which ail
laws must be tested to determine
whether or not they infringe on per
sonal or property rights protected by
that instrument- To write a law into
the constitution as a part of it is an
absurdity. One might, with as much
propriety, call the defendant to sit on
the jury to pass on his own case, when
unanimous verdict of the Jury is
needed to convict.
Many objections have been made to
the unfair preference proposed to be
given by the $1500 exemption amend
ment, numbered 326 on the ballot, be
cause of the very different treatment
such exemption would accord to some
citizens as compared with other citi
zens, and to some classes of property
as compared with other property. Like
wise, serious objection is offered to
the graduated extra-tax amendment.
No. 336, because of its discrimination
against large land owners, especially
owners of timber.
Method Should Defeat Them.
If 6uch measures were absolutely
fair the manner in which they are of
fered should defeat them. As statutes.
they should have no place In the con
stitution. As part of the constitution
they should have no force and effect
as statutes. Men are prosecuted for
violating statutes enacted in conform
ity with the constitution, but are never
prosecuted for a violation of the con
stitution if not supplemented by stat
ute. As presented to the voters, "A self-
executing constitutional amendment,"
the wording of the measure alone is
suggestive of anarchy.
Each of said amendments provides
the repeal of all parts of the constitu
tion and laws in conflict with them.
Without specific mention of any sec
tion to be repealed, to become effec
tive they must annul three separate
sections of the constitution now pro
viding for equal and uniform taxation.
With the repealing clause attached
and, "self-executing," If such language
means anything. It must be the intent
to put the act beyond the power of the
courts to decide the new measure un
constitutional or void. It must mean
that the new law is to be accepted as
in full force and effect regardless of
all destruction or disaster it brings in
its operation. It must mean that the
Oregon voter, who has no chance to
understand the relation of the many
existing laws to proposed new laws,
can by his mere vote enact a measure
wholly at variance with all existing
laws, and by styling it a "constitutional
amendment," put it beyond the power
of the courts: in other words, we can
adopt a reign of anarchy in spite of
the courts.
Federal Constitution Cited.
The Constitution of the United States
was created for the whole people, with
equal rights to all and special privil
eges to none. Not a law was written
into it, because by its terms it was
the Instrument by which all laws must
be tested and tried. No section con
flicted with any other section, no re
pealing clause is found in any section
or amendment, because, all is harmony.
In spite of wars, slavery, rebellion,
immigration from all nations and the
development of many industries, that
Instrument has had only seven amend
ments in a century and a quarter. Be
cause of its sacredess as the key to lib
erty and the arbiter of all law. It was
made difficult to change. The several
states, Oregon included, modeled their
constitutions after that instrument in
form and spirit.
Suddenly an obscure individual ap
peared, professing to be a friend of the
people, an Oregon Moses, and expressed
a conviction that constitutions were
more of a hindrance than a help to the
people. No move was made to change
the object or plan of the constitution,
or the authority of courts, but it was
decided to make the constitution easy
to amend.
19 Amendments Proposed.
We are confronted with 19 proposed
amendments in 1914. because it is easy
to amend the constitution.
Two amendments seek to aid unequal
tax by dropping the words "equal" and
"uniform" as to assessment and taxa
tion, to-wit: Nos. 308 and 310. Such
amendments are apologized for by urg
ing that justice can better be done by
permitting officials to make schedules
of property to be taxed at different
rates. Such schedules can be used
equally well in arriving at fair assess
ments without destroying the only
equitable rule applicable to every kind
of business and protecting each from
unfair assessment. For example.
billions of feet of timber, much of
which should be conserved for 40 and
50 years hence, demands fair and wise
treatment; many things are to be con
sidered in arriving at a reasonable
valuation from year to year and sched
ules are proper and may well be used
in fixing a proper assessment. Any
schedule which would provide a just
rate of taxation can be equally effec
tive to reach a fair assessment with
uniform rate of tax. Money and ac
counts need not be mistreated under
present laws. If the Assessor fails to
fulfill his duty to assess property at
its real value that is its approximate
value the fault is not with the law.
which permits officials to make all
possible schedules in reaching results.
The Board of Equalization, when it as-
1 certains that real estate is assessed at
a certain per cent ok its real value, iz
it does not see fit to change the realty
assessment, should change the assess
ment of the other property assessed at
100 cents on the dollar to correspond
with the realty assessment.
Trouble With OHIrUli."
Thoughs money has been used as the
measure of value by the Assessor, the
Board of Equalization does not have to
select It as the Item by which to equal
ize values. If real estate has been
assessed at 70 per cent, to equalize, the
board, in honor, can put money and all
other property at the same rate of as
sessment, No fairer rule is possible than

to assess property at Its real value and
adhere as nearly as possible to equal
ity and uniformity. The trouble is
with officials, not with the law. It
will do no good to Jump from the frying-pan
into the Are. If property
cannot be found at an honest rate of
assessment it will not be brousht from
hiding by playing favorites. If we
can't measure correctly with a perfect
rule, we shall not help matters by
using an elastic one. The trouble is
with the administration of the law and
tf officials are lax and show favoritism
in violation of law, what will they not
do with a free hand? A new law will
not find more faithful officials.
No safer . words can . be applied to
taxation than "equal" and "uniform."
The advocates of single tax insist
upon substituting for them "Never
treat thy neighbor as thyself If It can
possibly be avoided." Another favorite
motto seems to be "Don't call a statute
a law when it is so easy to make con
stitutions." . State's Fntsre Held at Stake.
It Is not enough to defeat these vic
ious attacks on the constitution. We
have been fighting them and they only
come In Increased numbers. The Fels
fund still exists. Oregon's reputation
and her future Is at stake. Prosperity
from 1914 to 1916 means millions saved
to Oregon, It means many men saved
from bankruptcy. Now Is the right
time to do the right thing. It is as
safe to reaffirm the rule, "equal and
uniform," as to reaffirm -the ten com
mandments and let the world know
that tbe work Is permanent. No. 3S
on the ballot reaffirms equal and uni
form taxation, permits an exemption
not exceeding 300 In value and re
quires a two-thirds vote to establish
unequal taxation.
Such rule Is fair. It is right. It la
Just; under existing conditions It is
the one guaranty which will revive
business without delay.
Democrats use the two-thirds rule
to nominate a President. otherwise
President Wilson wiould not now oc
cuny the White House.
A two-thirds vote is required to
overrule a veto. Unanimous consent
is frequently required to consider
