16 THE SUNDAY" OltEGONIAX, PORTLAND, NOVEMBER 12, 1916. TAX LIMITATION TO HIT THREE BUDGETS County, State and Port of Portland Must Cut Down About $91,000. OTHERS ARE WITHIN LAW Exceptionally Low lievy Made by State Because of $500,000, Which Now Proves to Be Financial Handicap. The county, the state and the Port f Portland are the only local branches of government that have any worries as a result, of the adoption by the voters of the 6 per cent tax limitation Jaw at Tuesday's election. The city. School Board, Jock Commission and county library budgets already are within the law. The county faces the necessity of trimminsr $24,000 out of its road budget Tor next year, the county general budget must be trimmed $49,000 and the Port of Portland must get rid of something like $18,000. The state will be hit to the extent of being unable to raise sufficient funds next year to carry on the state work and state in stitutions as they have been conducted during the present year, according to present prospects. State lilt by Surplus. The state, 'according to State Treas urer Kay, made its tax levy exception ally low for the present year because a surplus of $500,000 in funds was car ried over from last year and there fore the amount did not have to be raised by taxation. With a. limit of 6 per cent placed on the amount that the present year's tax amount can be In creased, the state will be unable to raise a sufficient amount to make up the $500,000 which the state gave the taxpayers the benefit of this year. The county road budget, as submit ted, totaled $693,000 for 1917, as com pared with $631,000 raised for the pres ent year. Under the tax limitation law this would allow the road fund to be Increased $38,000 next year. The In crease in the budget as it stands now Is $62,000, which means the road budget must be trimmed $24,000 to get within the law. No trouble Is expected in get ting rid of this amount.. County Most Make Cut. The amount asked for county gen eral purposes is somewhere near $840, 600 for 1917, as compared with $746,000 for 1916, a proposed increase of about $94,000. The new tax law permits an increase of only $44,000, which means that the county general budget must be pruned $49,000. It may entail some cuts in positions. There is a question as to whether the couity budget's including the road budget and the county general budget cannot be considered as one. This would mean the cutting out of the two budgets a total of about $73,000, in stead of the cut being divided $24,000 for the roads and $49,000 for the gen eral, if the budgets are handled sep arately. The city of Portland budget, as adopted. Is about $4000 under the legal amount that could be increased over the present year's budget, while the School Board could increase its budget $79,000 and still be within bounds of the new law. Harassed Newspaperman Writes Election Jingle. Incessant Call of Telephone Bells for Returns In Presidential Con test A rou r Mane. ALBANY, Or., Nov. 11. (Special.) Having answered telephone calls by the hundreds the past few days to give out election information David G. Bail lie of the Albany Evening Herald, was inspired yesterday to write a rhyme which doubtless expresses the feelings of scores of Oregon newspapermen during the hours when uncertainty con tinued as to the result of the race for President: It runs like this: "Hear the jingle of the bells, "phony belle. How they jingle, jingle, jingle, through the dreary hours of night till we yell out in affright. But the bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells, keep on dinging, keep on ringing In despite. And many kinds of voices, not a one of which rejoices cry in grief that's unaffected, 'Is it true that he's excited?' It's over, but the shouting, so what's the use of doubting, and kindly, if you Jove us, for the sake of saints 'above us, please, no longer thus coufound us or you'll surely 'underground' us. Ring off, bells, bells, bells, bells, bells bells." EARLY SETTLER IS BURIED Funeral of Mrs. Nancy Mller, 85, Is Held at Hood River. HOOD RIVER, Or., Nov. 11. (Spe cial.) The funeral services for Mrs. Nancy Miler. who died in Portland last Wednesday at the age of 85 years, were conducted yesterday by Rev. W. B. Young, pastor of the Asbury Meth odist church.

Prospects are that taxpayers in Portland will get through next year with an Increase of only $1.60 on each J1000 of their assessed valuation. This figure is based on the probable total levy of the various branches of gov ernment supported in whole or in part by taxpayers of Portland. The state, county school, county gen eral, county road, county library and Port of Portland levies are still indefi nite. The levies of the Citv of Port land, the school district and the Port of Portland have been definitely set- uea. The total levy based on estimates from all the branches of government not yet certain as to their levy will be 4i miiis ror next year, as compared with. 25.40 mills for the present year. a prospective increase of 1.6 mills. Based on this estimate the taxpayers of Portland next year will pay $27 on each . $1000 of assessed valuation of their property as compared with $25.40 paid for the same purposes this year. The levy for the City of Portland shows a big increase due to a decrease in assessed values and also to the pol icy of the City Council of wiping out part of a deficiency in funds which has bothered the city for about two years. This has caused an Increase in the levy. P.o branch of the government shows a decrease in the levy for next year as compared with that for this year. All at present show an increase and un doubtedly will when the levies are finally" fixed. These increases in most instances are due to a decrease in the assessed valuation, which decreases the amount of revenue from each mill of taxation. The increases are further necessitated by increased cost of sup- FREAK ELECTION mfc a FXX 'V- S5-:fe-'uii---' r"J:Jrf ?

MAN INTERRUPTS. CEMENT PLANT AT OSWEGO INSPECTED Members of Chamber of Com merce and Progressive Business Men in Party. WHOLE PROCESS DETAILED First Excursion. Took la Shipyards and Furniture Factories, Xext Will eB to North Portland Industrial Enterprises. Approximately 150 members of the Portland Chamber of Commerce and of the Progressive Business Men's Club visited the big plant of the Ore gon Portland Cement Company, located on the banks of the Williamette mver at Oswego yesterday afternoon and studied the various mechanical processes required in the making of cement. The trip was the second Industrial excursion by the Progressive Business Men's Club. The Chamber of Com merce members went along because of a previous invitation from the cement company. The first club excursion was takerf a week earlier to the vari ous shipbuilding plants and furniture factories of South Portland and the third trip will be made next Saturday to the Monarch Mills, the Standifer Clarkson shipbuilding plant, the Union Meat Company and the Portland Union Stockyards. The fourth trip is to be made to Oregon City where the paper mills and the woolen mills will be visited. Officials Art ' Encorta. Under the guidance of J. . Moore, assistant sales manager: F. C. New lands, superintendent: J. R. Macdon ald. Hugh Elliott, foreman: M. J. Bal lard. Carl Horn. M. V. Wellman and other representatives of the cement company the visitors from Portland followed the raw material from its in troduction to the machinery of the plant through each of the 11 buildings to the railroad cars where the finished product is started for the markets. The entire property of the company embraces 43 acres and cost in the neighborhood of $1,500,000. Including the plant and the quarries. The daily output is 1100 barrels and between 30 and to men are employed. The Portland business men had thir first hnts on cement manufacture at the crushers where the two grades of rock are crushed and then conveyed on wide belts and dropped into large rock bins. From the bins the material is sent to what is known as the raw grind building where it is ground un der a wet process which renders it slurry. Then the material is pumped across the yards and passed through a kiln 210 feet long. The kiln in stalled at Oswego is the oil-burner type and it produces temperature of 240-0 degrees at the extreme end. a heat that transforms the material Into clinker. Plant Is KxtenMive. In this state it is sent into storage and then into what Is known as the finish grind. After it has passed through two mills it is turned out as cement ready for the tall storage towers and the packing rooms where it is prepared for shipment. Among the auxiliary buildings on the company property are the offices, the carpenter, machine and blacksmith shops and the testing laboratories where the cement is examined as to standard. The quality of Oswego is said to be even above standard, its tensile strength being 30 or 40 per cent more than required. About 120 of the excursionists left Portland on the Fourth-street train shortly before 2 o'clock, returning on the train arriving about 5 o'clock. A number, however, motored to the plant. O. M.

FRANCE'S GREAT PRIZE BEAUTY TELLS How you can almost Immediately auppreaa the appearance af smaller wrlnklra and marks of aare and make yoomelf look from S to 13 years younger In 30 days time. How to banli.lt every complexion, blemish, In three nights la many Instances. A thousand times X have heard rich women say: "Oh! youth is so wonder ful and lovely. 1 would give everything I possess for youth and beauty aain!" No woman with the slightest spark of ftrlde or ambition in lier wants to be aid on the shelf, aged, careworn, wrinkled and forgotten so that men wish to avoid her at every dance and dinner party, and women themselves would like someone who looks younger to brighten up the occasion. Yet there is no longer any reason why the aver age woman need look so old and plain, even if she is old. Since the remarkable discovery of skin osmosis, afmost any woman can obtain most astonishing new beauty and a most surprisingly youthful appear ance even Ihough she is 40. or uO or more years of age. The Countess de Chevaune who at 7 0 years of age pos sesses a marvelously soft, smooth, velvet-like skin and an almost c-irl-llke complexion without a wrinkle in sight. told the writer personally in Paris that she owed it all to the discoverv of skin osmosis. With this marvelous discovery every complexion blemish can be banished in three nights in many instances, and you can awaken In the morning with a beautiful, rose colored complexion fresh as a daisy. I have known dozens of hollow cheeked, wrinkled, aged - looking women, who had given up all hope of ever looking beautiful and youthful again, to "come back" and again be come most beautiful, vouthi'ul and fascinating in from two to three weeks' time by this wonderful, simple method. No matter what your age or what you have tried unsuccessfully, skin osmosis will positively bring you new beauty and youth. Merely wash your face in warm water at night and rub in a teaspoonful or two of any good roseated cream which you can obtain from your druggist. In the morning wash the face with cold water and rub in more cream. complaint avers that on October 25, 1915, the plaintiff leaned against a sidewalk railing on Bond street, be tween Twelfth and Fourteenth streets, when the railing gave way and he wa precipitated to the ground.

See how the old. hardened coarse, routrh skin turns Into new. fresh, soft, youthful-looking skin almost before your very eyes, all due to simple skin osmosis produced solely by warm water and roseated cream. But be sure lo use only pure roseated creain. as it is an entirely dulerent thing from' ordinary fnc creams and must not be contounded wiih them. I personalty prefer Cremo Tokalon (Roseated) but an v good brand will do. If you have wrinkles get a box of Japanese Ii-e Pencils and use them In connection with the cream and you CHn get quick action on the deepest wrinkles, no matter of how long standing, in one niKht's time and awuken on the morrow to witness most astonishing results. Also the use of a little Santonex (sold by drug lists) on the face each morning will almost immediately suppress the ap pearance of all smaller wrinkles and marks of age and make you look al most years younger. It gives an in describably beautiful effect to the neck and arms for evening dress. I personally guarantee success in every case, in any of my newspaper articles relating to beauty, or 1 will refund the amount paid for any prod ucts I reconunend provided you take your dealer's receipt at the time you m.ike your purchase.
