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:

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

Mayor Albee, who is a Rosarian,
will confer with the Rosarians at. that

AID FOR CHINESE ASKED
Owing to Crop Failure 2,000,000
v Are on Verge of Starvation.
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.
BAKERY RATES REDUCED
North-west Freight Terms lowered

turers of the East and Middle West.
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.

This Home-Made Mixture Stops Dan

Its Growth.
To a half pint of water add:
Bay Rum ....1 oz.
Barbo Compound. a small box
Glycerine ox.
These are all simple ingredients that
you can buy from aay druggist at very
little cost, and mix them yourself. Ap
ply to the scalp once a day for two
weeks, then once every other week
until all the mixture is used. A half
pint should be enough to rid the head
of dandruff and kill the dandruff
germs. It stops the hair from falling
out, relieves itching and scalp diseases.
Although it is not a dye, it acts upon
the hair roots and will darken streaked,
faded, gray hair In ten or fifteen days.
It promotes the growth of the hair and
makes harsh hair soft and glossy.

HOW TO PREVENT
ACID STOMACHS AND
FOOD FERMENTATION
By a Stomach Specialist.
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

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
