Only 10 days remain before the war

the machinery of the United Stated
government will automatically be set
in motion all over the country to b-
. in the collection of the extraordinary.
. taxes made necessary by the European
war through the falling off of imports.
( - Charred with the collection of these
1 axes in Oregon is Milton A. Miller,
collector of Internal revenue for this
district. But the responsibility for
complying with the terms of the law
rests, on the people affected, and stiff
; penalties are provided for non observ
arc.
Persons coming under the scope of
the law' are expected to make return
to ti.e collector without notice other
than the usual newspaper publicity, and
failure to pay taxes on trades, business,
etc., which are taxed under the law on
or before November 80, or make proper
returns, will result In the imposition of
60 per cent of the tax in addition, as a
penalty. ' Complete failure to comply
with the law la punishable by stiff fin
and Imprisonment.
' Collector Busy Mas.
-,"" The "collector's office In the customs
house building. Park and Davis streets,
is a busy place these' days, receiving
returns and answering inquiries. AN
most every one affected by the law, and
almost every one will be affected, has
k question to ask. Collector Miller and
his deputies are glad to do anything in
their power to straighten out kinky de
tails and invite correspondence and per
sonal visitations.
"The public should remember that
; only 10 days remain," said Chief "Dep--utv
Collector Sherman M. Miles this
mediately. Next week they may have
to -wait In line an hour and a half or
more before they reach their turn.

only amounts to 65 cents a day. Ony
stores that run a small cigar stand as

tby druggists from the collector's offlc

Special Stamps Made.
' ! There are also special documentary
stamps for affixing to legal papers.
The new stamps come in varying
shades- of green and blue, and are dis
tinctive in that each bears its denom

' Inasmuch as the law does not go into
effect until December J, the documen

Inasmuch as there are a great num

FINANCIAL STATUS
Declares That Though There
Appears -to Be Deficiency
Such Is Not Case.
(Salem Bureau e-f The Journal.)
Salem. Or.. Nov. 21. Governor West.
Secretary of State Olcott and State
Treasurer Kay, members -of the state
printing board, today issued a state
ment explaining the exact status of
we state printing department's fi
nances.
The three members Join in the state
ment that as a result of the present
system of handling state printing
there has been a saving of $30,000. It
Is explained that the board will have
on hand in the general fund at the
first of the year something over 130.-
uou.
Owing to an oversight in drafting
the bill, no authority was given to use
funds- secured from several depart
ments or the state and, while it ap
pears on the face of the record that
there will be a deficiency to meet Jan
uary 1, there will be ample funds to
cover it.
What Basalt Shows.
Following is the board's statement
"Owing to the confusion which ex
ists in the mind of the public in ref
erence to the cost of state printing,
the following statement has been pre
pared with a view of showing Just
what has been expended during the
past two biennial periods:
1911-191S.

per, etc. (printing fund) . 1102,202.57

Printing and binding su
preme court reports ..... 7,425.00
Printing to be paid for bv
departments (approxi
mate) 21.275.72
Total $123,000.00
"Although the denands upon tho
state printing department are Increas
ing from year to year,lt wjll be seen
that the expenditures for printing
during tle 1913-1914 biennial period
will be $17,000 less than for 1911-1912.
Becorda Show Saving.
"The reduction of expenditures for
the present biennial period is due to
the present system of handling state
printing. The records show a saving
of over $30,000 to have been made
during the paBt year as a result of the
change. In other words, had the old
system remained in effect the expendi
ture for this biennial period would
have been at least $30,000 in excess
of the amount set forth in the above
table.
"The state printing board will have
on hand in the general fund at the
first of the year something over $20,-
000. This money Is being paid to the
printing department by the different
departments of state and the amount
is included in the above 1913-1914 cost
table. Owing to an oversight in draft
ing the law no authority was given
tbe board to use these funds and it
was therefore driven to ask the emerg
ency board for authority. While !t
appears therefore on the face of the
record that there will be a deficiency
to meet on January 1, it must be re
membered that there will be ample
funds on hand to -cover this Jeficiency
and that its existence is due only to
a lack of authority on the part of the
board to wipe it out"

PITIFUL APPEAL IS MADE
People ot America Are Barred to Send

That Can Be Spared.
Hospitals where ? lie the wounded
from vthe great conflicting armies in
Europe are demanding bandages. In
addition to this, the whole supply of
absorbent cotton has been exhausted,
The women of Austria, Germany and
France now are teariifg up their linen
petticoats and bed sheets to send to
the stricken soldiers. Even this sac
rifice is not enough and appeals are
being sent broadcast throughout the
United States for damaged linen. A
prominent Portland member of the
Daughters of the American Revolu
tion bag received the following letter.
dated Oct. 23, from Austria, telling of
the distress and need:
Cry for Help.
Will these lines ever reach vou? I
hope so. They are a cry for help.
The terrible UDheaval that has
brought such unutterable woe all over
Europe calls for every kind of help
mat each and every one or us can
give their respective suffering coun-'
trymen. Just now a request for dam
aged linen for our hospitals reaches
me. I have ransacked every closet
and sent whatever I could find, but of
course etyery household in Austria is
doing the same without being able to
find all that is needed for the hun
dreds of thousands of wounded that
are being brought in from tbe battle
fields all the time. Friends and foes
must be equally tended and the last
letter I got begging for a supply said:
"Every used up chemise, every torn
pocket handkerchief, means a treasure
for us."
What Becomes of Linen? .
It suddenly occurred to me that no
nation on earth used up its linen as
recklessly as those beloved United
States of America,
Just think of the amount in use on
every one of your big railway lines,
your first class hotels, clubs, eto.
Never a darn to be seen; the things
are eliminated as soon as they are
damaged.
America always lets "the broken up.
goods fo and goes in for new.
What becomes of the enormous
amount of damaged linent.
Could you have sent to me a quan
tity of old sheets, pillowcases, nap
kins, wearing linen no matter how
torn or wrecked only so they can be
turned Into bandages?
I have three hospitals clamoring to
me for bandages and I assure you I
should feel privileged indeed if I
could help those brave apd steadfast
soldiers, that have been fiehtine tooth

of the Oregon Lumber company vs. tha
East Fork Irrigation district, involving
the -water rights on the east fork: of
Hood River, Is being tried in the Hood
River countv circuit court - The East
Fork Irrigation district has come in
to possession of the Irrigation; system
formerly operated by the East Fork Ir
rigation, company, by purchase, ana is
now seeking to -appropriate several
thousand additional inches of ; water.
This appropriation Is being resisted by
the Oregon Lumber company, which
uses the entire flow for the genera
tion of electric power for the opera
tion of its mill at Dee. . The conten
tion of the lumber company is that It
the irrigation district is permitted to'
take the water that it seeks to appro
priate, the mill will b unable to op
erate, and in view -of the fact that
the mill has prior rights on the river,
it will be entitled to the water. The
Irrigation distriet is equally confident
that It will be able to secure the water
because it Is for Irrigating purposes.

RECALL THREATENED

IS NOT SOON FIXED
Sentiment Divided as to
Whether Salaries of Offi

Baker, Or., Nov. 21. Threatening a
probable recall election on Mayor.
Palmer and City Commissioners George
W. -Henry and Anderson Pinley unless
the present squabble over the salary
of the. city officials ceases, William
Pollman, president of the First Na
tional bank and Baker Loan & Trust
comparty, and E. P. Voruz, a leading
furniture dealer representing the Baker
Taxpayers' league, in a statement say
that inasmuch as the people have vot
ed to cut the city officials' pay, tha
decision should be final.
This followed the filing of an ini
tiative petition seeking to have th
question of raising the new rate Of
pay put up to the voters at the next
general election. The salary Of the
mayor has been $2500 a year since the
commission form of government was
adopted and the commissioners re
ceive $2000. The mayor's salary was
cut to $1500 and the c'ommissioners to
$1200 by a small plurality at the re
cent election. The initiative petition
seeks to establish the mayor's pay at
$2400 a year and the commissioners'
at $1800.
Those In favor .of commission gov
ernment and the present administra
tion say that the, reduction of sal
aries, was a "spite" action on the part
of a few, who had in the past been
partially in control of municipal af
fairs, while those opposed say that
the salaries have been cut, that it is
the will of the people and should stand.
It is generally admitted, however, that
the cut in salaries was ill advised and
that another vote would result differ

more than satisfied with the commis
sion form of gdvernment and the work
of the present commission, all mem
bers of which have -held office ever

Just how the present controversy

' Bin for Extra Ballots.
The claim was for the printing of
extra ballots for the primary election.
County Clerk Coffey had let a con
tract to Glass & Prudhomme for 200,
000 ballots at $6 per 1000. When the
registration was completed, however.
it was , found that in some precincts
there were not quite enough ballots to
comply with the requirements of the
law. It was too late to: advertise "for
bids for printing the extra ballots
needed, so the county clerk placed the
order with Glass & Prudhomme with
out bids. - Mr. Prudhomme says about
8000 extra ballots were, printed. In
.printing them a number of changes
had to be made to meet the require
ments of the various precincts.
In August a bill was presented to
the county by Glass & Prudhomme for
$244.70. of which $37 was for extca
