THE SUNDAY OREGONIAX. PORTLAND. DECEMBER 6, 1914. SPECIAL EVENTS AT STOCK SHOW MANY L. W. Buckley Takes Charge of Special Programme and Opens Downtown Office. AUCTION SALES ARE SET Mutts and School Children Expected to Attend Saturday and "Big Brothers" to Assist in Enter tainment of Children. The offices of the special events and publicity department of the Pacific international Livestock Show, which will open tomorrow f-r one week at the Union Stockyards, will be at room 408 Commercial Club building. Louis W. Buckley, manager of the recent Manu facturers' and Land Products Show, has taken charge of the special days and feature programmes, as well as publicity, for the Livestock Show. Through the co-operation of many Portland and state organizations, these special days at the show are expected to be of more than usual Importance. The Order of Muts has taken up the matter of having Saturday for its day at the Show, and as this is also school children's day, the "Big Brothers" probably will see that the children have a good time, as well as an educa tional feature on the regular pro gramme. N. C. Marls, secretary of the Live stock Show, has been receiving word of a great many entries. One of these said there would be 100 carlots of hogs, and another that there would be seven carloads of Holstelns from one section of the state. Finishing Touches Being Given. The big tents for housing the cattle will be put up today, rings .will be made for exhibit purposes, circus seats erected for the comfort of the visitors, and every effort will be made to provide for handling 60,000 or 60, 000 visitors. The auction sales, together with the judging of various classes of cattle, hogs and sheep, will prove an attrac tion to breeders, farmers, dairymen and the wool people. O. M. Plummer, general manager of " the Exposition, believes that the great est good can be accomplished through the education of the general public, the older school children, and the mer chant and manufacturer of Portland and Oregon, through an illustration of up-to-date methods in rearing, ship ping and handling livestock and utiliz ing the manufactured products. lie Is of the belief that the livestock Indus try today and its great benefits to the State of Oregon should be and will be emphasized strongly through the Pa cific International Livestock Show. It " Is free, is conducted without ordinary spectacular show effects, and that each year illustrates its increasing Impor tance to the City of Portland is as serted. Officers Are Told.

ALIEN LAW PROTESTED GREAT BRITAIN AND ITALY FIGHT ARIZONA ACT. Governor Postpones Proclamation at : Washing-ton's Request Limiting; of Employed Foreigners Opposed. WASHINGTON. Dec. 5. In the ab sence of official advices Secretary Bryan refused to comment tonight on Governor Hunt's' message announcing his decision to postpone the proclama tion of Arizona's new anti-alien em ployment law pending further com munications from the State Depart ment. Formal protests against the Arizona law were lodged with the department today by the British and Italian Am bassadors and 'a messag, was sent to Governor Hunt asking if he had au thority to postpone action. Mr. Bryan listened with interest to the text of the Governor's reply, but would not discuss the matter. . The British Ambassador informed the Department that British subjects would test the law in the courts. He did not make any reference in his note to any treaty between Great Britain and the United States, but based his protest on the provision in the constitution of the United States, which declares that no states shall "deny to any person within its Jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." The Italian protest was based on the treaty of 1871 between the United States and Italy. PHOENIX, Ariz., Dec. 5. Governor Hunt telegraphed to the State Depart ment at Washington today that he was averse to interfering with the opera tion of the Arizona "80 per cent law," which forbids the employment of more than one foreigner in every five em ployees In any business in the state. The Governor telegraphed the pro visions of the law to the Department, and added: "I am directed to issue a proclama tion declaring the measure a law forth-, with, upon receipt from the Secretary of State of a certificate of the election returns. "Forthwith.' broadly inter preted, means within the reasonable time required to prepare the proclama tion. I am much averse to prolonging the period preceding the Issuance of the proclamation, but I realize the in ternational aspect given by the pro test by the Italian and British Em bassies and will await farther advices from the Department."' The proclamation, which would give effect to all the measures adopted at the recent election, was expected next week. ONE-WAY GARS PLANNED LOOP SYSTEM TO EASE CONGESTION IS PROPOSED, Change Suggested Would Route Cars Over Single Tracks and Pre vent Across-Street Turns. Establishment of one - way streetcar service to lessen traffic congestion in the business district is to be proposed oy tity commissioner Dieck. Plans for a comprehensive system will be submitted iri ' few days to the City Council and the Portland Railway, Light & Po.wr Company. ine plan is to have cars on the principal streets operate on a single rine, malting the return trip over an other route. It is proposed as nearly as possible to have cars turn onlv to the right to eliminate the necessity of swinging across the entire street. Cars coming into the West Side business district from the East Side oy way of the Broadway or Burnside or Harriman bridge would, under the plan, make right-hand loops instead of turning to the lert, as at present. On some of the streets, including Third, Broadway, Washington. Morrison nd a few others, there are double lines of track and cars move in both direc tions. At present cars turn to the left into Washington street and make leit-nand loops. Cars going west on Washington street move in the nnnn- site direction to those making the iuup. n cases or mis Kind It Is pro Posed to change the movement of earn so that all will move in the same direction. The loon which extends now from the Hawthorne bridge down Second 'street, over Alder and back to the bridge on First street. Is cited as a representative one-way loop. It is said the one-way loon svstem could be established generally in the Business aistrlct cheaply and with lit tle interference with the present street car schedule. 'ARE YOU A MUT?" COMING Lyric Theater to Stage East and Funny Corned)- December 14 Week. "Are You a Mut?" a funny and fast musical comedy, will be the attraction at the Lyrlj Theater all week, com mencing with December 14. The entire net proceeds of the week will be given to the Order of Muts and a large sum is quite likely to be realized. The Order of Muts is doing a real work and tn its endeavor to help the Lyric management has offered the the ater and company to swell the fund now being raised. The regular prices will prevail at all performances and the extra attractions will be given as usual. SNOW REVISITS HEIGHTS Patrolman Reports Connell Crest Storm Is Like Blizzard.

In spite of the soggy, cold rain down town, not even a stray flake was re ported in this district. 3.7 MILLS IS TOTAL GOUNTY TAX ASKED Advisory Budget Committee Submits Final Report Covering All Needs. ALL WANT YEON TO STAY $1,000,000 Bond Issne for Hard Surfacing of Columbia High-, via y and Other Roads Is Favored Hospital Waits. COUNTY BUDGET COMMITTEE FAVORS FEW EXPENDI TURES AND OPPOSES OTHERS. Salient points In the recom mendations of the County Ad visory Budget Committee to the County Commissioners are: Levy of 3.7 mills to raise $1,192,244.73 for general county, road and library funds. County fund, 1.65. Road fund, 1.6. Library fund, .45. ' Vote on serial bond issue of $1,000,000 to hard surface Co lumbia RJver Highway and other county roads is recommended. Request is made that Road master Yeon be retained in his present position. Purchase of an Armory site and erection of a new county hospital are opposed. Changes in the state laws af fecting county administration are suggested, and the plan of con solidating city and county gov ernments is advocated. After carefully examining and con sidering estimates submitted by the various department" of the county gov ernment during the past three weeks, the county budget advisory committee yesterday concluded its deliberations by recommending to the County Com missioners that a tax levy of 3.7 mills De nxed to provide for necessary ex penditures out of the general county fund, the road fund and the library fund during the year 1915. The advisory committee estimates that $551,244.75 will have to be raised by tax levy to support the county fund, $489.80. for the -road fund and $151,200 for the County Library. The total to be raised. $1,192,244.73. requires a levy of 3.7 mills, apportioned as follows. County fund, 1.65 mills: road fund, 1.6 mills, and Library tund, .45 mill. Al lowance has been made In all the esti mates for the respective balances now on hand and the receipts to come in from sources other than taxation. Levy Shows Redaction. If the County Commissioners adopt the recommendations of ihe budget committee, as seems likelT. the taxes will be .45 of a mill less than last year. The levy set for the same three funds for 1914 was 4.15 mills, divided as fol lows: County funa, 1.9 mills; road fund, 1.8 mills, and Library fund. .45 mill. In addition to fixing the levy, the committee recommends the retention or Koadmaster Yeon in his present po Bttion, and advises the issuance of $1,000,000 In serial bonds to finance the hard-surfacing of the Columbia River Highway and other roads during 1915. j For economy the committee recom mends against the numerous applica tions for increases of salary and against the request that a site be pur chased for a new county armory. It also points out that the state should co-operate with Multnomah County in financing the armory when it is con structed. The committee suggests to the Leg islature that it should cease imposing duties and obligations upon the coun ties, and recommends that the state laws relating to county funds be codified and harmonized. The committee stands squarely in favor of permanent roads, and it also advocates the consolidation of the city and county government. Hospital Is Discussed. Considerable discussion resulted at the committee meeting yesterday over the question of providing funds for the construction of a fireproof county hos pital to replace the present frame structure. Robert H. Strong strongly urged construction of a hospital, but his mo tion calling for the appropriation of $100,000, or three-tenths of a mill, to construct the first wing of a hospital sufficiently large to accommodate 200 patients, did not receive a second. E. B. MacNaughton expressed himself in favor of the plan, as did County Com missioner Lightner, but J. N. Teal, George Lawrence and Chairman Friede, the other membersof the committee present, opposed the suggestion. However, the committee adopted this recommendation: "In view of the probable necessities of the county we recommend that the" County Commissioners be requested to have plans prepared for a fireproof hospital to be erected in the future when needs require." Use of Other Place Suggested. All the members admitted the need of a new building, but on the grounds of economy the majority thought the proposed expenditure inexpedient at this time.' Both Mr. Teal and Mr. Strong thought that the building, when built, should be financed, by a serial bond Issue, because of its permanent character, but Mr. Lawrence dissented from this view. When Mr. Strong remarked that the county had no moral right to house bedridden patients in a frame hospital building, Mr. Teal suggested that the patients be transferred to the fireproof private hospital buildings on the same basis that the county now pays. $7 a week for the housing at St Vincent's Hospital of patients with contagious diseases. Opinion was divided as to whether this plan would materially In crease the expenses of the present in stitution. . Each member of the advisory com mittee reminded Commissioner Light ner quite forcibly of his conviction that Roadmaster Yeon should be re tained in his present position and the committee formally adopted a recom mendation that he be allowed to con tinue at the head of the county road work. Mr. Yeon Is Praised. It is understood in Courthouse cir cles that Mr. Lightner is opposed to the retention of Mr. Yeon as roadmaster. The name of H. B. Chapman, former roadmaster. is mentioned as Mr. Light ners probable choice for the position. Mr. Yeon was appointed by the votes of Commissioners Hart and Holman and has served nearly one year without pay. Mr. Lawrence said that Mr. Yeon had the full confidence of the public and that the county was morally bound to give him an opportunity to continue his efficient service by completing the Columbia River Highway, which Is now two-thirds or three-fourths completed. Mr. MacNaughton said to change roadmasters would, be like giving sev eral piecemeal Jobs in building a roof and tempting them to "pass the buck" to one another for certain deficiencies in the work. Bridge Fund Provided. The largest single appropriation In the entire budget, aside from roads, provides for bridges and ferries. Among the expenditures called for are; For redecking bridges: Hawthorne bridge. $7500; Morrison bridge. - $6800: Burnside bridge, $6882.50; Hawthorne bridge, for replanklng approaches and repairs to decking. $3000; Morrison bridge, for repairs to decking. $1500. On the ground that the regular coun ty census, costing from $15,000 to $20. 000, would be superfluous, the commit tee supports the view that the Legis lature should be asked to repeal the law requiring It. but provides the $15. 000 in case the law is not repealed. An estimate of $16,000 is made to cover the cost of a probable election to vote on the advisability of a $1,000,000 bond issue to hard-surface roads. To finance a county exhibit at the San Francisoo Fair an appropriation of $1456 is advised and $3000 for the Mult nomah County Fair to be spent for premiums. It does not approve taking over the fair. Jail Money Allowed.- An allowance of $8000 is made in the budget to feed and clothe the prisoners at Kelly Butte. In claims it recom mends the payment of $9533.88 for the support of persons received from Mult nomah County as inmates at the state institution for feeble-minded and of $8269.1$ to Charles Eatchel. who suf fered burns from an explosion while tn the employ of the county. The committee compliments the su perintendents of the Multnomah Coun ty Farm for their efficient and. eco nomical management. - - Among the more important recom mendations made by the budget com mittee are the following: The members of the committee have given much of their time end have labored dili gently to eliminate proposed expenditures which we deemed inadvisable, and have con ferred with various county officers and heads of departments In getting at the facts. In many cases we have felt that reduction of proposed expenditures would redound to the public good. We have been confronted with state laws which made provision mandatory for. seem ingly unnecessary expenditures. It is our opinion that all the state laws affecting expenditures of county funds should be -codified and harmonized and that matters of local concern should be left in the hands of those directly interested. . The practice of the Legislature of Impos ing duties and obligations relating solely 'to the county should cease, and the establish ment by the Legislature of fixed salaries for - subordinate officials and fixing arbi trarily levies of taxation .for specific county purposes in which the state at large has no concern Is Indefensible. - It Is our opinion that if the various laws relating to our county affairs were harmonized and dupli cation of effort and activities eliminated a large amount of unnecessary expense could be saved. Merged Government Advised. We were impressed with the Importance of the recommendattlon made by the budget committee of 1913. that some plsn be found for merging the county and city govern ments Into one municipal corporation. That this would result in a large saving to the taxpayers Is patent, and we believe that steps sho:ild be taken toward this end. The Importance of a suitable system of constructing and maintaining highways we fully appreciate, and we believe that all con struction should be carried on with a funda mental view to permanence. . It - is evident that any general programme of hard sur facing of county highways to be paid for by current tax levy would Impose an intolerable burden on the taxpayers. Such highways, once the hard surface has been laid, will be of service for many years to come with little or no expense for maintenance. We believe, therefoie, that the sum of $1,000,000 which. It is estimated, will 'be required for carrying out the programme of hard-surfacing the Columbia River highway and other roads in 1915, should be provided by means of a bond issue, payable serially In five to fifteen years, the question of Issuing, the bonds to be submitted to vote of the people. - - For general road purposes In 1915 It Is our judgment that a levy of 1.6 mills will suffice and we recommend tha such levy be made. On the basis of $335,500,000 assessed val uation, a levy of 1.6 mills will produce $536, 800. and we recommend that this sum be ap propriated as follows: for comnletlns- Co lumbia River highway, $58,800; all other roaas, sis.uou. Salary Blses Opposed. This committee has carefully considered numerous applications for Increases of eal ary filed by county employes.. Many of these applications have merit. We feel, however, thU now is not a proper time for such Increases. No business house is advancing salaries of employes during the present depresed- condition of business, and In fact many houses have found It neces sary to Impose horizontal decreases. We recommend, therefore, that no increases of salary De granted In any branch of the county service. This committee has been urged to recom mend the purchase of a tract of land to be used as a site for a new Armorv w believe It to be the part of wisdom to defer any such purchase until a more pro pitious - time. Moreover, it should be re membered that the maintenance of state volunteers ' is a state and not a county function, and we see no reason why the entire cnarge should be cast on a county any more man tnat a county should pay for the cost of ' any other state bu'iMlnr. Official records show that armories in other counties have been erected at the nartfal cost of the state. We feel that this county is entitled to similar treatment whenever in the future it may determine to erect an Armory. Detention Home Aided. We were asked to recommend an appro priation of tsooo for a cottage for delinquent girls and $1500 for an isolation hospital at the Frazer Detention Home. We made a special investigation for the needs of the home, and are prepared to recommend an allowance of $18,175 to be divided as fol lows: Salary of superintendent and as sistant,. $6180; food, medical, miscellaneous supplies and sundry Items, 411,995. We learned that the title to the land upon which the proposed buildings were to bo erected Is on certain conditions, and that the home may not be kept there. In which case the improvement would be a lose to the county. We feel that the erection of additional buildings on this land would be a mistake. We also feel that the home should be used simply for the purpose for which it was originally intended; that is, as a clearing-house, and that those sent there should be taken to the places provided for the different charges as rapidly as possible. Provision is asked for new hulls for the ferry-boats Mason and Webster at a cost of $6500 each. We recommend one of the new hulls be omitted. Regarding these two ferries, we beg to suggest to the County Commissioners that they consider the wisdom of eliminating one of them. The two ferries serve largely the same territory, and we doubt If the opera tion of both is absolutely necessary. Tax Char to Suggested. The present system of collecting taxes Is cumbersome and unsatisfactory. Instead of an ImDrovement on the former method, the system now in use is a step backward. We wish to reaffirm the recommendation of the budget committee of 1013. that the entire system be revised by the forthcoming Legis lature, and that ono county office be made responsible for collection of all the taxes. In this connection we commend the present Treasurer. Sheriff and Assessor -for the capable manner in which through Intelli gent co-operation they have met an unsatis factory condition of the laws. - The memers of the budget advisory committee, who were appointed by the County Commissioners, Leo Friede, chairman; J. N. Teal. Frank Kiernan, Robert H. Strong, George Lawrence, E. B. MacNaughton and C. W. Hodson, have labored with general problems of county expenditures since November 16. In addition to the nine full evenings de voted to the work since that time the members made personal investigations into the details of nearly every county institution. Carl S. Kelty, as secretary of the committee, and County Assessor Reed met with the committee on every occa sion. These two men were given the unanimous thanks of the committee yes terday. All served without salary.

Trios by Bohemian Masters Are Feat ores of Programme New Series to' Beeln Next Month. It was a refreshing musical experi ence to sit in the auiet and larsrelv tha semi-darkness of last night in the main stuoios or the Museum of Fine Arts, and listen to and enjoy the fine chamber music concert by Mrs. Susie Fennell Pipes, violin; Ferdinand Kon rad, "cello, and James Hutchison, piano, assisted by Mrs. Thomas Carrick Burke, piano soloist. The hall was crowded with ultra and serious musical enthu siasts who came from the educated class that seeks the best and highest in music They were emphatic and out spoken in their marked appreciation of the Instrumental treat. - The occasion may be described as a "Bohemian" night, seeing that the two trios chosen for rendition wr a hv -Rr- hemians, Smetana and Dvorak. Smet ana's "Trio in G Minor, op. 15" clearly shows the stamp of Liszt, and is bathed in quiet romanticism. It received a warm and authoritative rendition. The Dvorak "Trio in-G Minor, op. 26" is more Slav In texture, with wilder mood. It was adequately and stirringly played. . , Mrs. Burke was again the cultured piano artist, standing for the quiet and finish of tonal presentation. Her Chopin is delicately fashioned, and there comes to one's vision, when Mrs. Burke plays Chopin, a hint of gold lace and romance of poetry. She Is a tonal magician, too, for the artistic spell she casts over her audience lasts long after the piano notes are struck. The Chopin "Waltz, C sharp Minor" is reminiscent of Pad erewski, and here the great Pole's pi ano charm was most deftly caught in its mysticism. Mrs. Burke was enthu siastically recalled, and her extra num ber was a "Barcarole" by her famous teacher. Leschetiszky. The concert was easily the best of the series. So successful have been these cham ber music concerts that a new series of them is asked for, and the next course will begin early In January, 1915. DANCE TO HELP NEEDY Auxiliary of Spanish War Veterans . . to Entertain Wednesday. The members, of Scout Young Auxil iary, United Spanish War Veterans, will give their Initial dance of the season next Wednesday night at Christensen's Hall, Christensen's orchestra furnish ing the music. The card-rooms will be thrown open to card-playing for those who do not dance and prizes will be awarded. The committee on arrangements is composed of Gertrude McCarren, Cora A. Thompson, Carolyn Anderson, Jessie C. Auterson and Irma C. Barrows. The patrons and patronesses are: General and Mrs. W. E. Finzer. Judge and Mrs. C. U. Gantenbein, Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Upton and Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Hotch kiss. The proceeds of the dance will be used in carrying on relief work for needy soldiers who fought in the Spanish-American war and their dependents. STORAGE MARK ORDERED Eggs Mnst Show Vintage and Other Regulations Are Made by City. 5-' t o r a e eggs must be marked plainly with the word "storage" when sold on the public market hereafter. City Com missioner Bigelow introduced an ordi nance in the Council Saturday, making this provision, and a number of other restrictions and regulations for the market. The Council checked over the provisions of the measure and sent it along for final passage. The ordinance gives the market mas ter the right to exclude any person for violation of the market rules and reg ulations, whether he is arrested or not. Smoking is prohibited and the use of profane language is made a serious of fense. Producers also are required to Keep their market booths spotlessly clean. BURGLARS , USE W00DLIFT East Side Home Is, Robbed of Jew elry and Silverware. In the family's absence last night burglars ransacked the home of E. R. Gelinsky at 1618 East Forty-seventh street. North. The robbers gained ac cess to the living rooms from the base ment by using the woodlift as an ele vator after gaining entrance to the basement by prying a window. A quantity of jewelry and silverware was taken by the robbers. No initialed silverware was touched by the thieves. Forcing of the basement window by the burglars was an unnecessary pro cedure as both back doors had been left unlocked. ANESTHETIC IS REFUSED Laborer Won't - Take Opiate so Broken Xose Is Unset.
