GUTS Of OLfflA
BUDGET GUARDED
Appropriation Committee Is
Silent Because of Fear of
' .' Combined Attack.
$600,000 MORE IS SLICED
'Buildings Contemplated Are likely
to Suffer and. Millage Tax la
V Hot Kxpected to Increase
at This Session.
OLntPIA, Wash.. Feb. 24. (Special.)
-Senate and House appropriation com
mittees have finished work on the gen
eral budget appropriation bill and will
introduce it Monday. It is rumored
that 65 members of the House have
been lined up to pass It as submitted
by the Joint committee and the Senate
is said also to have been organized to
prevent any changes in amounts or as
signment of appropriations already de
cided on.
Contents of the budget are closely
fruarded from publicity until the bill is
introduced In both Houses for fear of
hoFtile combines' being formed by
legislators disappointed in the proposed
apportionment of state cash fOr the
coming two years.
As definitely as can be learned, how
ever, the joint appropriations commit
tees have reduced the general fund
total of expenditure more than J600.000
below estimates allowed by the State
Board of Finance in passing upon re
quisitions submitted by the heads of
state institutions.
116.500,000 Is Probable Total.
The total of the latter estimates, as
allowed by the Board of Finance, came
to $7,237,944. which would bring the
actual budget to be submitted this
cession by the appropriations commit
tee to to, 637,044, and the probable total
is $6,500,000, which would still leave
the general fund expenditure for the
coming biennium about J300.000 above
that of the session of 1915. If this
proves to be the case the necessary
Increase of general fund taxation will
be about .3 mill.
That most of the new building at
state institutions planned for the com
ing two years on the streng-th of ap
propriations asked will be eliminated
by this reduction is practically admit
ted. No details of where the cuts in
this particular are made is given, but
every public Institution will probably
suffer.
Mlllagre Tax Increase Unlikely.
From present prospects proposed in
creases In millage tax not included in
the general budget have a dark future
for this session. Two of these are the
one-tenth mill levy asked for the new
Normal School at Centralia and a one
fifth mill levy proposed by the Thurs
ton County delegation for the creation
of a capltol building fund, the state to
be repaid gradually as state capitol
lands are sold.
That the military levy can be raised
above three-tenths of a mill, the Gov
ernor's maximum, is also regarded as
extremely doubtful and the levy for
education expense has been agreed up
on at one and fifty-five hundreths of
a mill, where educational interests de
mand one and ninety-one hundreths.
The Capitol building levy bill. H. B.
249, was removed from the calendar
today and set for special order Tues
day, which brings it into consideration
one day behind the budget, an arrange
ment that may be significant of pos
sible success, since Senator Carlyon.
who Is keenly interested in its passage,
is legislatively very close to Senator
French and Representative J." H. Da
vis, respectively chairmen of the Sen
ate and House appropriation commit
tees. Educational Ievy Up Monday.
Consideration of the levy for educa
tional purposes is set for special order
In the Senate Monday afternoon, com
ing in on the same day the budget is
to be Introduced, unless present plans
are changed. This will leave the road
levy bill as available fighting ground,
but the latter levies are separately
fixed by statute and are not affected
by general fund disposition
Further prospect of tax valuation be
ing fixed at 50 per cent for the state
by this Legislature was probably end
ed today when the Senate Indefinitely
postponed H. B. Ill, which had been
sent back under a refusal by the House
to accept a Senate amendment reduc
ing the assessment limit to 40 per cent.
It is believed that today's action by
the Senate will weather any motion for
"reconsideration that can be organized.
Senate bills passed by the Senate to
day include provisions to give county
game commissions control of their own
finances, creating a game preserve in
Okanogan County of 22,000 acres for
mountain sheep, providing British Co
lumbia sets aside a similar adjoining
reserve: authorizing issuance of non
resident fishing licenses for 30 days at
12; organization of districts for clear
ing logged-off lands by issuing bonds
not to exceed $250.0,00. and two drain
age district regulations in S. B. 198 and
226.
Auto Licenses Are Fixed.
The House passed II. B. 271, which
makes additional automobile regula
tions and fixes a new scale of license
fees running from $2.50 on motorcycles
and fa for automobiles under 25 horse
power to $250 for seven-ton motor
trucks. On passenger cars the pro
posed rates is $7.50 for cars up to 40
horsepower and $10 for all over that
power rating. It is understood that
automobile men generally are not seri
ously, contesting the proposed charges.
The House also passed bills to regu
late chiropractice, osteopathy, regula
tions for creating state district reports
on vital statistics and two bills which
prevent citios from refunding balances
accruing in local Improvement funds
from payment of Interest and penalties.
Validity of the Pierce County bond
isspe of $2,000,000 voted for the pur
chase of 70.000 acres at American Lake
to be transferred to the Federal Gov
ernment as an Army mobilization and
maneuver post, was taken under con
sideration by the Supreme Court after
four hours of arguments.
Writ Aaked on Auditor.
Astlng for Fierce County Commis
sioners. Attorneys JJ. T. S. Lyle and
P. C. Sullivan, of Tacoma, E. S. Mc
Cord, of Seattle, and C. H. Howard, of
Bellingham, today asked for a writ of
mandamus ordering C. V. Clausen.
State Auditor, to accept $50,000 worth
of the Army post bonds as legal in
vestment for State School funds. Mr.
Clausen had declined the Investment
as unauthorized by law and the con
stitutionality of the whole matter was
submitted on the case presented. It.
E. Campbell. Assistant Attorney-General,
and Glen Fairbrook, appeared In
defense for the State Auditor.
Their contention is that the Pierce
County bond issue is invalid under con
stitutional prohibition of county debt
incurred for other than strictly county
purposes and also that the Legislature
cannot impose such an Indebtedness
upon a county by validating acts as
passed by the present session.
Military Necessity Is Pleaded. ,
Pierce County attorneys cited, nu
merous precedents to the contrary from
other states and decisions and advanced
the. plea of military necessity on ac
count of strained, relations with Ger
many as an lnvlcation of the sovereign
power of the' state to Join in the Na
tional defense.
Recent memorials by the Legislature,
pledging the state's utmost resources
to - the National Government In the
event of military need and urging
Congress t oestablish universal com
pulsory training, were also urged In
behalf of Pierce County.
All nine judges heard the arguments.
No intimation was given as to when a
decision would be reached.
LINER THOUGHT. SAFE
AMERICAN STEAMER FINLAND 19
DIE I.V NEW YORK SOON.
Ex-Mlnister to Holland la Among; Pas
sengers, Most of Whom Likely. Are
United States Citizens.
NEW YORK. Feb. 24. The American
line steamship Finland carrying 166
passengers, among them Dr. Henry Van
Dyke, ex-American Minister to The
Netherlands, sailed from Liverpool Feb
ruary 17 and is due here next Tuesday
or Wednesday, the American line an
nounced today. She is now presumed
to be safely beyond the submarine
zone.
The Finland Is the third American
passenger liner to leave England since
the proclamation of Germany's new
submarine war. The others were the
New York and Philadelphia. With the
Finland's arrival, the entire fleet of the
American line steamships, six In all,
will be assembled in this port for the
first time since the Spanish-American
War.
The Finland carries 67 first-cabin
passengers, 47 second and 52 third. The
majority of them are believed to be
Americans, although the American line
had no definite figures.
The Atlantic transport line freighter
Manchuria, flying the American flag,
arrived from London today. The
Venezia, French, in from La Pallice,
was the only other arrival from ports
near the danger zone.

BANISHED HIS DESIRE
FOR TOBACCO
A Kansas Man Tells of a Simple Home
Recipe That Broke Him of
j Using; Tobacco.
Mr. John Miller, living at Waverly,
Kas., after using tobacco 20 years, ban
ished his desire for tobacco with a sim
ple recipe which he mixed at home. In
a recent statement Mr. Miller said: "I
could not stop tobacco of my own ac
cord, so used the following simple
recipe almost two years ago and have
not touched tobacco since. To 3 oz. of
water add 20 grains of muriate of am
monia, a small box of Varlex Compound
and 10 grains of pepsin. Take a tea
spoonful three times a day. As it has
ho color or smell it can be given
secretly in tea, coffee, milk or in food.
Any druggist can fill this recipe at very
little cost, and it certainly will banish
'all desire for tobacco." Adv.

Proposal of Manufacturers to Let Fed
eral Trade Commission Fix Prices
for Six Months la Discussed.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 24. Newspaper
publishers and news print paper manu
facturers continued conferences today
with the Federal Trade Commission on
a proposal by the manufacturers that
the Commission fix prices for news
print.
Officers of the American Newspaper
Publishers' Association told the Com
mission they believed publishers would
agree to an arbitration plan only if
manufacturers representing at least 60
per cent of the news print output
signed the proposal, and definite as
surances were given that acoeptanca of
the plan would not in any way inter
fere with efforts to restore free com
petition in news print manufacture.
The publishers declare they do not want
to see anybody go to Jail, but do want
to see broken any combination. to con
trol prices. This they believe cannot
be accomplished solely through adop
tion of an arbitration plan to last six
months, which they say might leave
the situation as bad as before.
They prefer to pay higher prices for
the next six months, they declare, than
to get lower prices now and have no
assurance for the future.
The Trade Commission. It is asserted
has made no promise of immunity to
manufacturers and its members be
lieve efforts should be made to restore
free competition. They are of the opin
ion, however, that competitive condi
tlons can be brought about quicker
through the plan proposed if all agree
to n man through action by the Xe
partment of Justice alone.
GREEK CAPTIVES MUTINOUS
8000 Held at Goeritz Cause Serious
Trouble for Germans.
LONDON, Feb. 24. According to ad
vices received by the Greek authorities,
there has been serious trouble among
the 8000 Greek troops who surrendered
to the Bulgar-German forces at Kav
ala and who are now interned at
Goeritz.
Hunger and discontent over the fail
ure of the German authorities to keep
repeated promises of repatriation are
said to have led to frequent mutinies,
and a largo number of deaths -from
disease, exposure and privation are
also reported.
Boot and Shoe Interests Particu
larly Alarmed Coffee and 31a-
chinery Men May Remote
Their Headquarters.
LONDON, Feb. 24. Importers of
American goods reel themselves par
ticularly hard hit by the latest restric
tions on imports, but the extent of their
loss can be only approximated until
they learn Just how liberally licenses
will be granted for importations of for
bidden wares.
The goods most drastically affected
and which have been imported in
amounts running Into millions annually
from-America include agricultural ma
chinery, typewriters and other office
equipment, boots and shoes, cotton
hosiery, apples, wood and cut timber.
Cotton hosiery was on the previous
prohibited list, but was recently re
moved by the government.
Many items included in the latest list,
so far as importations were concerned,
have only been allowed to enter under
license for some time past, but Import
ers have smarted under a feeling that
much favoritism has been shown in the
issuance of such licenses. They now
expect a more even system of adminis
tration. Shoe Importers Alarmed.
Boot and shoe importers are particu
larly alarmed over the latest decree,
although they have long been expect
ing such action.
American Importers, according to one
of their chief representatives, have lit
tle reason to hope or favorable treat
ment in the issuance of licenses, for in
the past, while such permits have been
liberally granted to Great Britain's al
lies, the government has shown little
disposition to grant preferential favors
to American goods on the prohibited
list. One notable exception, however, is
noted in the fact that tobacco import
ers, despite the absolute prohibition
upon imports of leaf tobacco, have im
ported in the last year a greater amount
than in normal years.
Coffee Market May Move.
Americana interested in coffee im
portations feel that the latest restric
tions mean a transfer of business by
which the product will be sent direct to
America instead of reaching there
through the great London coffee
market.
The restrictions may also result In
the removal of American machinery
concerns which maintain great London
houses, supp'ying the Continent and
British colonies with mining and agri
cultural machinery. A number of these
concerns are planning the erection of
branch plants in Russia.
American periodicals which were be
coming prominent on Kngllsh news
stands will b'e missed, as they will only
be alloweu in single copies by mail.

Reorganization of Nation Is to Be
Worked Oat by Csar With Aid
of Legislative Bodies.
PETROGRAD, Feb. 22, via London,
Feb. 24. The political reorganization
of Poland is a problem to be solved
entirely by Russia without the inter
vention of foreign powers. Interna
tional guarantees In the matter of
Polish affairs meet with no sympathy
in Russian political circles, except as
such guarantees touch the agreement
to have Austrian and German Poland
added to Russian Poland.
Such was the position of the Nation
alist party, expressed by Deputy Chik
hatoff at the opening session of the
special committee appointed to work
out a basis for the project to fix the
future status of Poland. The commit
tee consists of the heads of the minis
tries, the president of the Duma,
Michael Rodzianko. the president of
the Imperial Council; M. bhegJavitof f ,
the chief of the general staff. General
Gurko; ex-Pramier Gofemykin; the ex
Foreign Minister, Serglus Sazonoff, and
others.
Deputy Chlkhatoff submitted a
memorandum citing the fart that the
Polish constitution and kingdom were
abolished in 1830 by the Russian Em
peror without interference on the part
of other nations and declaring their
restoration should be similarly accom
plished, that is to say, by the Emperor
in conjunction with the legislative
bodies.
M. Chikhatoff's recommendation is
regarded as a change of front by the
Nationalists, who formerly opposed re
construction. It is the belief that the
Nationalist deputies in the Drma now
will unanimously support the work of
the committee.
