THREE COURSES POSSIBLE
Cut May Be Made In Payrolls, Jobs,
or Proposed Public Improve
ments for 1922.
Jut how $229,000 Is to be trimmed
out of the list of proposed expendi
tures of the city of Portland In 1922
Is the problem that confronts the
tax supervision and conservation com
mission. City officials have inferred that
the budget has been trimmed to
point where they can see no further
reductions unless the activities of the
city are reduced. The councllmen
stand opposed to any decrease in
salaries of city employes, maintain
ing that the majority of the city
workers were loyal to the city during
the war period, working1 for wages
ranging: from $125 to $150 a month,
when they might have obtained from
$10 to $12 a day from private em
ployers. Cots Up to Tax CommlMloi.
With the commissioners reluctant
to make further reductions in the
budget, this duty devolves upon the
members of the Ixx commission. -
In rhe preliminary conference held
last Thursday between the tax com
missioners and the city council, the
tax commissioners made It plain that
the budget must be cut and but three
lanes are open for such trimming;.
One Is a general reduction In sal
aries, another is reduction tn forces,
and the third is a reduction In activi
ties. If the first alternative is
adopted, it is almost certain that the
entire $229,000 which must be elim
inated from the estimates will not be
absorbed. Other methods of curtail
ing expenditures must be found.
Two Go Together.
No appreciable reduction of ferces
can be made without a reduction In
activities. These two methods go
hand In hand.
If It Is decided that some reduc
tion Is to be made In city activities,
as they are now carried on, it is
practically certain that the two de
partments to feel the ax first will
be the departments of public works
and the parks.
The public works department, which
bandies all Improvements, has a con
tem plated programme for 1922
amounting to $4,000,000. This pro
gramme is practically as big as that
completed this year, and as a result
means that the same force of inspec
tors, draughtsmen, engineers and the
like must be employed during the
construction months of 1$2Z unless
the programme is reduced.
Improvement Cut Favored.
Not only must the city stand the
cost of overhead and Inspection at
tached to public improvements, but
in addition an ever-increasing load
of unpaid improvement and tax liens.
Members of the tax commission have
pointed out that the city is now
carrying more than $1,000,000 delin
quent improvement and to hold thfaj.
down Is to stop all but absolutely es
sential public. Improvements.
Tho council, during the past few
months, has refused to authorize any
improvement unless the petitions of
the property owner for the improve
ment carried the names of more than
60 per cent of the owners affected.
Park Hurra a Face Ax.
In connection with the park bureau.
It 1m generally believed by city of
ficials that this department will be
elected for marked reductions be
cause It carries on recreational
service, while other departments are
r.eceHMary for the protection of public
health and morals.
The police budget will be the first
review byathe tax commission, a con
ference having been, arranged for 2
o'clock tomorrow afternoon for this
purpose. It Is understood that vari
ous departments wilt be discussed
from dy to day, until the commission
has obtained all the facts that It
desires concerning all of the budget
Items.
No decisions will be made at such
hearings, the sole purpose being to
ascertain tho facts from city officials.

In a graphic way the practical lessons
which the hundreds of pure-bred ani
mals in the pavilions were giving to
stockmen. Not only did the exhibit,
through Its Illustrated panels and dis
plays, point out the advantages of
pure-blood stock over scrubs, but it
touched on farm management and
other problems confronting livestock
dealers and dairy men. County agri
cultural agents spent a great deal of
time about ths display, taking notes
and examining the methods used in
putting over the points.
The department of agricultural ex
hibit will be taken from Portland to
tho west slope dairy show, which
opens In Stockton on December 5.
The predatory animal department of
the biological survey had a large sec
tion devoted to a display of its work
that is benefiting the stockmen and
farmers of the northwest by thou
sands of dollars every year.
The display included several hun
dred coyote and wildcat skins, a part
of tho September catch of govern
ment hunter's In Oregon and Wash

pests, especially squirrels, rats, go
phers, moles and Jackrabbits.
Traps, methods of trapping and
poisoning and other points in connec
tion with the work were explained
by government men in charge at all
times. The records compiled by

chael Moran, river pilot, as hs climbed
to the bridge of tne isriiisn
steamer Norwich City at Astoria and
greeted her master. Captain i-atrioa

"So have I." replied Captain Mur

earnestly over their clasped handa.
"L,et me see, now," pondered Moran,
"didn't ye go to school in Dublin
when ye wux a kid?"
I did thot," replied the other, 'I am

"And I am Mike Moran," teamed
the pilot. "Sure, it's many a good

$2000 Bribe Offer Reported
by Patrolman.
PARTNER'S TRAP USED
Agreement Is Made by Officer for
"Fake" Arrest but It Prove '
to Be Real One.
Opium and cocaine of an estimated
value of $63,000 were seised, and two
reputed vendors of the drugs were
Jailed yesterday morning when Pa
trolman Persinger of the lower Al
blna district used a trap which one
of the vendors had set for the other
and took them both into custody.
The men arrested were Davs Leight
ner. whose past police record has been
confined to bootlegging operations,
and C. O. Oda, a Japanese.
fSOOO Bribe Reported.
According to Patrolman Perslng-er,
Leightner went to him late Friday
night and told him that he and the
Japanese had a large Quantity of
drugs. He wanted the policeman to
stage a fake arrest, seize the drugs,
frighten Oda and let him go, and then
the policeman and Leightner would
divide the profits. Leightner prom
ised the policeman he would get at
least $2000.
Patrolman Persinger says he agreed
to the arrangement and set the plans
with Leightner. He then telephoned
to Police Captain Harms and asked
for additional police to help in the
arrest.
Under the agreement with Leight
ner, Patrolman Persinger. Captain
West, Sergeant Maas and Patrolmen
Churchill and Fleming lay in wait on
the Greeley-street extension for sev
eral hours. At 7 A. M. yesterday a
sedan was stopped as It was coming
from the St. Johns terminal.
Drags Are Fovnd.
In the machine were Leightner and
Oda. They had in their possession 2?
cans of opium and six cans of co
caine, which, the police say, is worth
$63,000.
Following bis arrest Leightner de
nted that hs was a partner with the
Japanese in the distribution of the
drugs, but later he is said to have told
his captors that he was to have pro
cured customers for Oda.
The police turned the prisoners over
to the federal authorities, and United
States Attorney Humphreys is to
make a complete investigation.
Federal agents yesterday afternoon
arrested Y. Kajama, first mats on
one of the Japanese steamships now
in Portland harbor and lodged him
in the county Jail pending the post
ing of $5000 bail, as a suspect in the
drug ring for which Lightner and
Oda are thought to be agents. With
the first mate an oiler on the steamer
was arrested and held under the same
bonds.
MR. AXD MRS. GILBERT EFFI
CIENT, SAYS MR. HOFF.
State Treasurer Objects to Paying
Big Salaries to Non-Residents
Brought to Oregon.
SALEM. Or., Nov. II. (Special.)
If there have been any delinquencies
on the part of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Oil
bert, superintendent and matron, re
spectively, of the state training
school for boys, such delinquencies
were due to the absence of proper
equipment at the institution and not
to any lack of effort of the man
agement. This was the statement made to
day by O. P. Hoff, state treasurer and
a member of the state board of con
trol, following the publication of a
letter signed by Governor Olcott and
Secretary of State Kozer explaining
why they employed Mr. and Mrs. W.
L. Kuser of Kldora, la., to come to
Oregon and take charge of the boys'
institution.
"Since more than a year ago when
added equipment was given Mr. Gil
bert. I have admitted no delinquen
cies in the management of the boys'
training school," said Mr. Hoff in his
statement, "for the reason that there
have been none.
"1 have, during the paBt year, given
my personal attention to the school
and have kept in close touch with the
work of Mr Gilbert. His work ,to
my mind, has been excellent. I have
received many commendations of Mr.
Gilbert's work both In person and in
letters.
"Mr. Kuser has been lauded as be
ing 'without a peer in the nation.' I
know very little about him and have
to take Iowa's estimate of his abili
ties. After 22 years' service in that
state, which has more than three
times the population of Oregon, he Is
valued at $2500 a year. My opposi
tion to the policy of filling respon
sible Oregon positions with non-residents
and my objection to paying
$5000 with keep amounting to $3000
to $4000 a year in adiXtlon, as against
the present salary of $2100 and found,
amounting to between $1600 and
$1700, as being excessive and unwar
ranted, is sincere.
"Honest differences of opinion will
occur between men and the governor
should be broad enough to permit
such differences of opinion without
attributing It to 'venom and a desire
to destroy.' "
GRANGE RAPS DISMISSAL
Dismissal of Head of School for
Boys Condemned In Resolution.
SALEM. Or.. Nov. 12. (Special.)
Members of the Salem Grange at a
meeting held her today adopted reso
lutions condemning the sciion of the
Oregon state board of control in dis
charging L. M. Filbert, superintendent
of the state training school for boys.
The present state administration is
voluntarily and unequivocally pledged
to economy, ther resolution taid.
Action was taken by the grange fol
lowing announcement that "Mr. ano
Mrs. W. L. Kuser of Eldora. Ia., had
been employed as superintendent and
matron of the local training school at
a salary of $5000 a year.

to Portland a thorough knowledge of
shipping conditions.
One steamer owned by Suzuki & Co.
arrived here yesterday to load, and
at least ten more will come here be

ni
of the other vessels coming to this
coast will load here and which at
Grays Harbor or Puget sound.
7 SAILING VESSELS COMING
Two Barkentlncs and Five Schoon
ers Are on Way to Portland.
Thongh the bulk of the world's
ocean commerce is now carried by
steel steamships and ths mors effi
cient modern motorshipe, conditions
occasionally arise that bring back the
sailing . vessels of a former era.
Whereas a few months ago not a
single sailing craft of any description
was booked to come here no less than
seven of these vessels are now either
on their way here or Boon to sail for
this port
Making up the list of sail tonnage
en route on the board of the Mer
chants' Exchange are the barkentinea
Monterey and Annie M. Rolph. The
Monterey is an iron vessel, formerly
a tanker, owned by Balfour. Guthrie
& Co. The Annie M. Rolph Is one of
the five barkentinea built In the
James Rolph yards at Eureka, Cal.
One of her achievements of not many
months ago was sailing from Sharp
ness. England, to the Panama canal
in 41 days.
Three of the schooners are actually
on their way here. These are the
John W. Wells, now SO days out from
Newcastle. Australia, the Sir Thomas
J. Lipton, IS days out from Honolulu,
and the William Bowden, five days
out from Honolulu. Others listed to
come here under schooner rig are the
Thistle, owned by Balfour. Guthrie
Co., and bringing coal from Newcastle
for the Columbia River Coal company,
and the Edward R. West, which wilJ
bring copra from the Gilbert islands
for the Portland Vegetable OU Mills
company.
REFRIGERATOR SHIPS NEEDED
Government "502" Steamers Suit
able for Apple Shipments.
Another reason, not previously
brought out. why Portland should be
allocated several of the "602" combi
nation passenger and freight steamers
of the shipping board was touched
upon yesterday by K. D. Dawson,
general manager of the Columbia
Pacific Shipping company, in dis
cussing the conference which is to
open in Washington tomorrow for
ET the Government know so your Shipping
Board can smooth the way for you with
travel helps, and plan for your accommodation.
Go soon if you can, for these are the years to go.
There's more to see in Europe now and
more to feel. Across the pleasant face of the Old
Europe iidrawnthe scar 01 battle terrible, but of
life-long interest.
And in the New Europe you see History in
the making made in days and not in generations.
On every street comer you hear the clash of New
Ideas on Old.
When you go now you go on yoar own shzp
one of the great fleet your taxes helped to pay for.
And, because your Government must maintain
this fleet until it can be transferred to private
hands, your passage money helps reduce your taxes.
Moreover, you will find it pleasant traveling
on one of your ships. It's a good sjiip and it
seems like home you feel that the boundaries of
America have been widened, that Home extends
three thousand miles to the East.
Go in 1921 or 1922
There's no reason for waiting. These are the
interesting years. Fares probably are as low now
as they will be for years to come, because the steam
ship business all over the world is quiet.
Today the American doDar buys more abroad
than it will when the world gets settled.
American exchange is so high that in many
lands princely hotel suites are had for the price
of hall rooms at home and everything else in
proportion.

the assignment of the shipping board
cargo-passenger liners In the Pacific
This reason is that each of the "502"
type steamers haa a refrigerated
compartment wltn a capacity of 52,300
cubic feet or 1300 tone suitable for
ths transportation of fresh Oregon
apples across the Pacific
A few shipments of apples have
been made from the northwest to
China, Mr. Dawson said, but no re
frigerated space has been available
to keep the fruit In the best condi
tion and the exporters in the past
have sent only the poorer grades of
applea to the orient. He believes
that with the assignment of three
"502's" to the Columbia river and the
adoption by the exporters of a prac
tice of sending the better grade of
fruit to the orient, a large outlet
could be developed In the far east
for the increasing tonnage of apples
and other fruits produced in the ter
ritory tributary to this port.
MOTORSHIPS CHANGE FLAGS
Six Built by Astoria Yard Now Fly
ing Foreign Colors.
Of seven motorshlps built before the
war by the McEachern shipyard at
Astoria, only one is now operating un
der the American flag. This one is the
Astoria, the original product of the
yard. One of the other six, the Madru
gada. was torpedoed and sunk wbile
under British registry. Two of those
remaining are now Swedish vessels
the Gloria, originally christened Astri,
and the Carmen. Two have gone
through a number of changes of name
and are now Norwegian. Thesa are
the Sigen, previously the Pelican and
originally the May. and the Astrella,
nee Pauline. Though her name sounds
as American as ever, the motorshlp
Margaret ia now a Chinese vessel.
Three Passenger Craft Leave.
Three passengers vessels departed
from Portland yesterday, all with
fair lists of voyagers. The Anyo
