BANKS HEADS DELEGATION
TIJE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX. PORTLAND, DECE3IBER 22, 1918.
BOIDS OR DEFICIENCY
WARRANTS
Multnomah Legislators Meet and In
dorse Lieutenant-Colonel Kelly
for Port Commissioner.
"Either the state must be bonded,
or issue deficiency warrants, or the fi
nancial problem passed on to the
emergency board and at the end of
another two years the state will be
forced to bond such is the financial
condition of Oregon," declared Repre
sentative K. K. Kubli, when the Mult
nomah delegation met and organized
last evening.
"Since the last session, in 1917." con
tinued Mr. Kubli. "the emergency
board has authorized the expenditure
of $600,000. This money must be pro--vlded.
In addition there are demands
for conducting the state which, because
"f the 6 per cent limitation, will call
for nearly J2.000.000 more than it is
possible for the state to raise.
Financial Problem Looms.
"Any man who can figure out how
to solve the problem will be a. Moses.
If the deficiency warrants are" issued
they will be discounted at 20 per cent,
which will virtually force the state
to pay 20 per cent more for everything
It buys. The men who are on the
ways and means committee in the com
ing session will find that they can
not satisfy anyone."
"Eliminate the 6 per cent limitation."
nuggested Representative E. E! Smith.
"It will have to be done some time."
"It could be done by a special elec
tion." suggested Senator R. S. Farrell.
"'And why not seek new sources of
revenue? Possibly Increase the in
heritance tax. When the Government
needed money it found ways to do it."
Homes Axsnred of Support.
This discussion of the financial af
fairs of the state came up when Charles
Dodd asked the delegation to suport
an appropriation for a new fireproof
building for the Baby Home. He ex
plained that the state allows J10 a
month for each baby, yet it costs $22.37
a month to keep a baby. This cost
has mounted from $16.18 two years ago,
and to make up what the state does
not pay for the support of these babes,
tog days and appeals to the public are
necessary. Mr. Dodd declared that he
believed Oregon should pay for the
upkeep of these charges instead of
paying scarcely 30 per cent.
.Senator Farrell agreed with Mr.
Dodd and said that the Baby Home,
Boys' and Girls' Aid Society, the orphan
homes and similar institutions should
be properly supported by the state.
Banka Heads Delegation.
Sixtern members of the Multnomah
delegation were present and quickly
organized with the selcetioti of Sen
ator W. W. Banks, as chairman, and
Representative II. L. ldleman, as sec
retary. Next a motion was made that
the delegation consider no general
legislative matters, but confine itself
to local matters. There will be a
meeting next Friday night at S o'clock
at room 325, Morgan building.
Having disposed of organization.
Representative D. C. Lewis opened the
festivities by moving' that Lieutenant
Colonel George H. Kelly be the unani
mous choice of the delegation for a
member of the Tort of Portland Com
mission, a position which he resigned
when he entered the service of the
United States and was sent over seas in
the engineers as a Major.
Lieutenant Kelly Indorsed.
When Lieutenant-Colonel Kelly re
signed Robert H. Strong was selected
to fill the vacancy. The coming Legis
lature must confirm Mr. Strong's ap
pointment or make a new nomination.
Various members, Including Represent
atives John B. Coffey, Herbert Gor
don, and others, wished it distinctly
understood that the recommendation
for Lieutenant-Colonel Kelly was not
intended as a reflection on Mr. Strong
and Senator Banks was requested to
explain the situation in person to Mr.
Strong.
Those attending the meeting were:
Senators W. W. Banks, R. S. Farrell,
A. W. Orton and F. C. Howell: Repre
sentatives Chester C. Moore, Dr. E. C.
' McFarland. D. C. Lewis. O. W. Hosford.
Herbert Gordon. Oren R. Richards,
Eugene JttJ. Smith, David E. Lofren

NIGHT CLASSES FAILURE!
STUDENT AXD TAXPAYER. OF
FERS CRITICISM.
Franklin High School Fine Build
ing, Finely Equipped but Walks
and Lights Lacking.
Inadequate lighting and sidewalks
about the Franklin High School build
ing are given as the cause of Che fail
ure of the night classes which have
just been discontinued there, according
to a letter received yesterday by Act
ing Superintendent Grout from N. A.
Kly, 14 70 East Sherman street.
"Failure of the classes can be laid
to the School Board personnel," Mr.
Kly writes in the letter, in which he
stated: "As a pupil there and as a
taxpayer,. I believe honest criticism is
sometimes constructive.
"You provided a fine building, finely
equipped and with fine instructors,-but
that is all.
"Try to reach this school at night.
No paths, no lights to ruide the way.
From the Division-street side it is al
most impassable. Slippery clay, stand
ing water and pitch darkness in the
low places. From the Fifty-second-street
side, in addition to darkness.
there Is the danger of being hit by an
automobile. Many a time a girl will
wait till someone else comes along be
fore going home, and I assure you
when I go I do not take anything val
uable with me. Such conditions are a
disgrace to any such community. A
few hundred dollars would have reme
died this.
"Second, a little businesslike adver
tising would have acquainted many
with the opportunity to attend the
school."
Superintendent Grout will present
the letter at the next meeting of the
School Board.
Lumber Head Is Honored.

given, explained O. Howard in the
speech of presentation, in appreciation

pressed: "Chrlstmj.3, 1918. to N. E.
Ayer, from his employe- and in recog
nition of his manly, fair and helpful
conduct toward us at all times." The
recipient has been head of the company
since its organization in 1905.
