TIIE SUNDAY ORKGONTAX, PORTLAND, NOVEMBER 22, 1914. 13 GOVERNMENT COST IS GOING UPWARD 1 91 3 and 1 91 5 Budget Figures Show Commission Form Increases Expenditure. SALARY ROLL IS HIGHER Total or $3,083,399 for Last Year of Councilmanio Rule Exceeded by $244,000 in Estimates Re cently Adopted by Council. That the commission form of govern ment costs more for operation" than did the old councilmanic form, which it succeeded in Portland in 1913, is shown by a comparative report completed yes terday by City Auditor Barbur, show ing' the appropriations and the salary rolls for the last year of councilmanic government, as compared with the same items as provided in the city's budget for next year. It is shown that for the year 1913 there was provided in the budget a total of $1,688,265.70 for salaries. This includes all the city's salary rolls ex cept the water bureau salaries, which are not provided by taxation. For next year, under commission government, the total salary roll is $1,778,522.50. "While there naturally is an increas; in personal service because of the growth of the city, the principal in crease shown in these figures is said to be for new positions and for in creased salaries, some of which were required under the commission charter and some of which have been provided by vote of the City Council. Totala Are Contrasted. Of the total budget under the last year of councilmanic government 54.78 per cent of the amount was for salaries. Under next year's budget 63.44 per cent is for salaries. The total budget for tfle last year of councilmanic govern ment, including salaries, was $3,083, 399. For next year the budget totals $3,327,621, according to the Auditor's figures. 4 Among the principal increases is the cost of the City Council. Under the old form there were 15 Councilmen, who received $25 a month each, or $4500 a year. Now there are four Commis sioners who do this work. They each receive $5000 a year, or a total of $20, 000. This Item shows an increase of $15,500. This was provided in the com mission charter as adopted by the voters. There was provided also in the com mission charter a purchasing depart ment which Involves added expense of something like $10,000 a year, a mu nicipal garage, municipal shops, a mu nicipal storehouse, public market and some other jysltions. all running the city's payroll upward. Following is City Auditor Barbur's tabulation of the salary rolls of the city under the two forms of govern ment, the figures shown under the 1913 column being the budget figures for the last year of councilmanic govern ment and those under 1915 being the salaries for 1915 under commission government: of Hood River, are registered at the Baton.

Trip to Pair Appeals to Many Beyond Portland Committees to Discuss Travel Plans Tomorrow. i Although the Royal Rosarlan ex cursion to California is more than a month off and the committees are still working on the preliminary plans, the committee on personnel has re ceived 76 applications already toward filling the entire excursion list of 125, and it appears that the reservations may be all taken long before the date of the excursion. Many persons in cities outside Port land, who. are not members of the Rosarians, have written the commit tee asking for reservations and per mission to accompany the party, and there is every indication that the event will surpass not only the first Rosarlan excursion two years ago, but even the famous "Oregon First" ex cursion that preceded it. A meeting of the Rosarians will be held at the Commercial Club tomorrow to discuss further plans for the ex cursion and the entire membership of the Rosarians is expected to attend. C. H. Moore, C. S. Lov eland and J. E. Werlein, of the membership commit tee will outline their plans in prepa ration and other officers will speak.

The demands of the European war are engrossing nearly all of the various organizations in the United States, and In the stress of the moment it has been overlooked that more than 2.000,000 people In Southern China are on the verge of starvation as a result of a famine in that section. The Christian Herald has opened a relief fund in New York and Is sending out an ap peal throughput the United States for contributions to assist In the relief work in the famine districts. Crops have been totally destroyed In Southern China and no relief from the soil Itself in those sections can be ex pected before the Fall crops come In. In many places, according to dis patches, whole villages have been blot ted out and people are dying by thou sands. Two million dollars will save 2,000,000 lives in the famine districts, according to the estimates of those who are trying to cope with the situation.

Heretofore. Portland bakers have been obliged to pay first-class rates on goods in tin and second-class rates on goods in wood, while the Eastern men had a flat third-class rate. UNMUZZLING HELD UNSAFE Dr. Marcellus to Oppose Repeal of Anti-Rabies Ordinance. City Health Officer Marcellus will oppose the passage by the Council next Wednesday of a measure to repeal the I dog muzzling ordinance passed last January. Dr. Marcellus says the muz zling ordinance when first adopted was Intended to remain in force for at least a year. The year has not expired yet. He does not believe it would be safe to unmuzzle dogs in. the city. - It Is said that while there have been no recent cases of rabies In dogs in Portland, the disease Is eommon out side the city and the unmuzzling might cause & spread of the disease among the dogs in the city. - It is at the sug gestion of the majority of the mem bers of the Council that the measure to repeal the muzzle ordinance will be brought up for vote. Attempts have been made before in recent months to have the measure repealed, but each time the attempt has met with defeat. . Disorderly House Charge Falls. M.

As a specialist who has spent many years In the study and treatment of stomach troubles, I have been forced to the conclusion that most people who complain of stomach trouble possess stomachs that are absolutely healthy and normal. The real trouble, that which causes all the pain and diffi culty, is excessive acid ir the stomach, aggravated by food fermentation. Hyper-acidity irritates the delicate lin ing of the stomach and food fermenta tion causes wind which distends the stomach abnormally, causing that full bloated feeling. Thus both acid and fermentation interfere with and retard the process of digestion. The stomach is usually healthy and normal, but irri tated almost past endurance by these foreign elements acid and wind. In all such cases and they comprise over 90 per cent of all stomach difficulties the first and only step necessary is to neutralize the acid and stop the fer mentation by taking in a little warm or cold water Immediately after eating, from one to two teaspoonfuls of bisurated magnesia, which is doubtless the best and only really effective antacid and food corrective known. The acid will be neutralized and the fermentation stopped almost Instantly, and your stomach will at once proceed to digest the food In a healthy, normal manner. Be sure to ask your druggist for the bisurated magnesia, as I have found other forms utterly lacking in its peculiarly valuable properties F. J. G. Adv. ' Kidneys Should Not Be Neglected The most important organs of elim ination are the kidneys and they must be clean and active so they may re move the poisonous waste matter whlcH otherwise returns to the circulation and finds it way to all parts of the body. If you're nervous, lack ambi tion and have backache and indigestion, it's almost certain that the functions of the kidneys, to remove impurities is im paired and should be remedied Immedi ately. With its ability to keep the kid neys acting freely and in a healthy state Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Remedy rids the body of many Impurities which, if reabsorbed, would make life miser able, entailing great discomfort and suffering. It acts specifically upon the kidneys and liver in such a manner that it establishes a healthy con dition and tones up these vital organs if not taken too late. For over 37 years Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Remedy has been the standard for kidney and liver diseases. Get it at your druggist's In 50c and $1.00 sizes.
