BUDGETS ARE TOPIC
Civic League Hears Officials
Explain Expenses.
METHODS .ARE DEFENDED
People Judge by Figures Without
Investigating Conditions Lying
Beneath, Says City Com
missioner Bigelow.
Budgets were discussed at the lunch
eon of the Civic League at the Mult
nomah Hotel yesterday, with represen
tatives of the county, city and school
district giving an explanation of the
methods of handling budgets.
Each speaker was allowed five min
utes after his address in which to re
ply to questions from the floor.
"People are inclined to Judge a bud
get by mere figures, without going into
conditions that lie deep under it, and
this is one reason for much of the
criticism that is made against the tax
levies," said C. A. Bigelow, speaking of
the municipal budget. "For instance,
in comparing the budget of this year
with that of the previous year, few
take into consideration the fact that
there has been an increase of about 30
per cent in the area of the city since
last year."
General T. M. Anderson said that he

Glenn O. Bassett.
NEWBERG, Or., Nov. 25.
(Special.) At the funeral serv
ices of Glenn O. Bassett, who wa
killed Thursday by an accident
at the Spaulding Logging Com
pany mills, the floral offerings
were of an unusual character,
both in quantity and in number.
One of these was a large circular
saw, made of a great variety of
flowers, one tootn of the saw
being out. It was the contribu
tion of the men at the mill. In
whose regard he held ka high
place. In addition to the at
tendance of Masons of Newberg
there were members of the order
present from Portland, Salem,
McMinnville and Eugene. Quite
a number of friends came from
Salem, including Governor
"Withycombe. He and Mr. Bassett
were close friends when the two
lived in Corvallis.
. Mr. Bassett left a family of
nine children Mrs. A. E.' "Will
iams, of Dee; Miss Olive Bassett,
teacher In the Stayton High
School; Florence K. Bassett. book
keeper for Yamhill Electric Com
pany; Raymond H. Bassett, a
graduate of Newberg High
School in the 1916 class; Lucille,
a freshman in high , school;
Eleanor, aged 13: Glenn "Willard,
aged 7 years; Frances, aged 5
years, and Evelyn Miriam, aged

grandchildren. Allen Williams,
Jr., and Wtnnifred "Williams.
had been frequently surprised at taxes
for municipal bonds on improvements,
for which petitions had been circulated
without the knowledge, frequently, of
the property holders most affected.
Many Do Not Investigate.
"One thing that we find," said Mr.
Bigelow in discussing this, "is that
many people are surprised when they
find themselves taxed for an improve
ment, although the commission takes
pains to' verify the fact that the peti
tion contains the names of at least 40
per cent of the bona fide property hold
ers in districts affected. One reason
for this may be that many people sign
petitions without looking into their
contents. We have often found that
people signed a petition for a certain
Improvement and shortly afterward
signed a remonstrance against it."
R. H. Thomas, clerk of the School
Board, pointing out that since Hhe law
provides for a certain per cent to be
used for teachers' salaries, about the
only place where budget cutting can
be made by the School Board is in
buildings.
"If the last budget had included
everything in the way of improvements
that was asked it would have made
necessary a 10-mIll levy," he said.
Mr. Thomas said that the growth of
the city and the Increase of the high
school attendance made the housing
problem the most serious that the
Board bad. to consider.
Abandoned Buildings T' "..
In spite of the fact that the Shattuck
School, the Lownsdale School and oth
ers had been abandoned and new build
ings erected, he pointed out that the
enormous growth of high school at
tendance had made it necessary to re
turn to these abandoned buildings as
well, and that all were now filled to
overflowing.
"The school policy has been to build
by direct levy rather than bond issue,"
he said, in explanation of the fact that
larger funds have not been made avail
able recently by the Board for the erec
tion of new schoolhouses.
County Commissioner Rufus Holman
discussed the county budget and E. B.
MacNaughton spoke on the work of the
budget committee.
The announcement of the programme
for next week includes a series of talks
on the paving of cities, in which there
will be the city engineer of Portland,
the city engineer of Oregon City and a
representative of some of the paving
companies.

Government Trapping Coyotes.
OROFINO. Idaho. Nov. 25. (SDe
clal.) There is a Government trapper
in tne vicinity of Oroflno. sent out bv
the United States Government to trap
coyotes. He has spent the greater
part or nis lite in the business. Ho
locates in a favorable part of the coun
try and stays until he has pretty thor
oughly cleaned them out. The pelts
are sent to headquarters to be counted.
The establishment of this department
by the Government, while a good
thing for the country, is hard on fox
hounds that are caughf in the traps
and seriously injured.
Schoolchildren to Be Asked for
Supplies and Money Railways
Are to Bring Donations
to Portland Free.
The Boys' and Girls' Aid Society of
Oregon has issued an appeal for con
tributions to make up the $5000 needed
by that organization to carry on its
work during the Winter months. Let
ters asking for assistance have been
sent out all' over the state, lti addition
a campaign is to be carried on among
the school children, asking them for
donations of supplies and money, and
pamphlets telling of the worn of the
society are being sent out to all. the
schools in the state.
Railroad companies have agreed to
ship donations to the society headquar
ters in Portland free of, charge, ac
cording to announcement which has
been made.
A number of contributions already
have been received by the society and
it is expected that donations will be
gin to come In fast this week. Con
tributions received include: E. Ehrman.
$25; First National Bank. 5, and Ir.
H. L. Dumble, of Hood River, 10 boxes
of apples.
Children's Picture Shonn.
The pamphlets which are being sent
out contain pictures of children who
are being assisted by the work of the
society. The foreword says in part:
"Americanism! The word. itself
evokes a host of Ideals, worthy aspira
tions, noble impulses. It conjures up
fair lands and vigorous cities where
man may live and work successfully.
It breathes freedom and opportunity,
opportunity available to all. It spells
Justice, Justice socially, economically,
educationally.
"It goes further than merely to rail
forth pictures. It instills in one the
desire to make real these pictures, to
put ' these ideals into practice. And
where better than in promoting the
welfare of the less fortunate child?
Since the degree of development and
culture of any society or ctvilzatlon Is
proportionate to the care expended
upon the child of that group, the high
est form of Americanism must be
achieved through affording to each
child the opportunity to become an
intelligent, responsive and independent
citizen."
Scope of -"Worlc Described.
Of the work of the society the pam
phlet says:
"The society provides for the needs
of dependent, neglected and abused
children over S years of age, through
out the state. It receives, cares for
and places in family homes children
committed by the County Courts. It
aids children in temporary distress. Tt
receives crippled children whose de
formities can be corrected, but would
not be without the assistance of this
organization. It employs three Held
workers who devote their entire time
to visiting wards, placing children in
family, homes and to investigating
prospective homes. In addition they
co-operate with county officials in the
Interest of dependent children in the
respective communities."
