Observe Channukah
Children of Sabbath Schools Will Pre
sent a Channukah Play JSText Tues
day Evening1 and Wednesday.
The Channukah, the anniversary
celebration of the purification of the
temple by the Maccabees after the re
bellion against the Syrian king from
about 168 to 165 B. C will oe com
memorated by the Hebrew temples for
a week, beginning December 20, the
25th of Kislev, according to the He
braic calendar.
It Is essentially a celebration of the
loyalty and love of Israel for the faith
which was endangered over 2000 years
ago, and Is the occasion for feasting
and the revival of the lighting of the
candles, symbolic of the kindling of the
flames of loyalty to tho faith, which
was threatened three years before the
first celebration waa held.
The local temples will hold services.
and the children of the Sabbath school
will present a Channukah play, "Judah
the Maccabee." Tuesday evening and
Wednesday afternoon at the Concordia
club, the proceeds to be used for

Thoueh Portland is S3 1-3 per cent
larger in area than in 1812 the cobt
of running the city government ior
1916 will be 146,000 less than in 19U,
declared C. A. Blgelow, commissioner
of finance, before the Rotary club
luncheon yesterday at the Benson
hotel. The operating cost In 1912, he
continued, was $2,786,187.72; the total
for 1916, 12,740.000, estimated until
the end of the year. Commissioner
Blge.ow credited the showing to the
economical policies of the commission
government.
"A greater proportion of the cost
of operating the city has been levied
on the taxpayers this year than in
1912.' explained the commissioner of
finance. Receipts from other source
than taxation and exclusive of the
water department were $1,190,443.05,
for this year, So35.558.78. The larger
part of this reduction is due to the
elimination of saloon licenses.
Pees Show Bee line.
Private construction work which
pays fees to the city is less than In
1912. The amonut levied on taxpayers
this year, therefore, was 32,286, 077.4''
as compared with $1,922,373.32 in 1912
and this accounts for the difference
In the mills of tax levy 6.73 in 1912
and 8.20 in 1916.
The commissioner pointed out that
not commission government but tho
people by vote reduced the sources of
revenue from sources other than tax
ation and Increased the bonded debt
upon which Interest must be paid.
"Sometimes It seems to me," said
Bigelow, "that the city Is made up
only of those who are satisfied with
the government when they get what
they want out of it, and of those
who only believe government is effi
cient when the tax rate Is low. Rarely
Uc we encounter those who measure
the efficiency and value of govern
ment by Its service."
More Power for Mayor.
Commenting on needed changes 1r.

Baker, commissioner of public affairs.
said: "The mayor should be given
more power; then the criticism coul.l

Furniture will now receive atten

deal of money can be saved in buying
furniture by getting out of the high
rent district and going over onto the
east side.
Many people are going across the
Morrison street bridge and buying
furniture at Calef Bros.' At this big
east side stor business is rushing,
because thoughtful people are finding
that they can actually save from 10 to
25 per cent by purchasing furniture
where rents and operating expenses
are lower. And the matter of lack of
ready cash need not stand In anyone's
way, since Calef Bros, have very at
tractive and easy terms, which will
