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 FLORAL OFFERINGS T"7rTlCK AT FUNERAL OF LATE LllIBERMUV. : 1 ' : i 'I "'V- 'it - , " '' - ! " ' " ' ! ' -f" - ; 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 6 months. He had also two 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.

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.
