to Attend Saturday and "Big
Brothers" to Assist in Enter

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

" Is free, is conducted without ordinary
spectacular show effects, and that each

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.

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

work and tn its endeavor to help the

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.
Following are the recommendations
of appropriations to be made for every

CONCERT MOST ARTISTIC
BRILLIANT AUDIENCE IN MUSEUM
FOR CHAMBER MUSIC TREAT.
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.

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.

Never again need you buy ice for any purpose. The little
machine on' top of the refrigerator and the cooling radiator inside
have solved this vexing problem.
When equipped with the Germanla System of Refrigeration, your
refrigerator will preserve food perfectly for weeks in pure, dry air J
uniformly cold at any temperature desired, down to zero.
The Germanla System does away with the ice man entlrelv. and
eliminates the many consequences of impure ice. It is impossible for
moid to form even on cooked foods in the cold, dry air produced by
the Germama System.
The Germania System makes pure ice for the table, freezes Ices and
parfaits. and cools the water pipes. The price of installation Is $225

on top of the refrigerator or in
the basement of the home.
There is nothing to get out of"

a switch. It is literally "fool

How to Neutralize
Dangerous
Stomach Acids
Few people besides physicians realize
the importance of keeping the food
contents of the stomach free from acid
fermentation. Healthy, normal diges
tion cannot take place while the deli
cate lining of the stomach is being in
flamed and distended by acid and wind
the result of fermenting food in the
stomach. To secure perfect digestion,
fermentation must be stopped or pre
vented and the acid neutralized. For
this purpose, physicians recommend
getting a little bisurated magnesia
from the druggist and taking a tea
spoonful in a little hot or cold water
immediately after eating. They rec
ommend bisurated magnesia because it
is pleasant to take, has no disagree
able after-effects and instantly stops
fermentation, neutralizes the acid and
makes the sour acid, bland, sweet and
easily digested.
The regular use of bisurated mag
nesia be sure you get the bisurated.
as other kinds of magnesia are of little
i'a-lye is an absolute guarantee of
healthy.- normal digestion, for it over
comes and prevents that" acid condi
tion which alone is the cause of trou
