Fear is being expressed quit frequency these 4ay that because of, the per cent j tax limitation the next legislature will j not be- abts to appropriate enough money to take care of the : necessary expenses of state government and for th main' tenance of th various state Institu tions. ' ' 8uOh, (ear doe hot seem to be found ed. however, upon any study of th amount Of money which will be avail able for appropriation by the next leg islature; This Is particularly tru If H Is to be assumed that th bill pro- - vtdlng for a 1 mill tax lvy for an emergency war fund is initiated and ; adopted by tfie people at the general lection next November. Taxable property In the state Is now something m excess of $900,000,000, so a .1 mill tax will produce more than $00,000 a year revenue for the emer gency war fund. That sum is almost ' one-third of th entire amount raised for stat taxes this year, j, Vaads Will Be Ample . . " Th last legislature made approprla. Uons amounting: to $6,361,375. This sum Includes the mlllage taxes for the higher Institutions of learning;. Th next legislature will have- at . least $600,000 more, according; to estl mates, than the last legislature avail 'able for appropriation. The t per cent Increase allowed under the tax limita tion will amount to approximately $150,- : 000, While Increases now in sight to be collected as Inheritance taxes 'will amount to over $256,000, making a total increase f $600,000 that maybe raised , to meet th appropriations of th next r legislator over and above the total appropriated by the last legislature. Pees being collected by other depart ments 'will also show increases ever preceding years. ' ')' It Is expected that the maintenance . cost of the Stat institutions will be materially Increased during the next . two years, but $600,000 will take care ef aulte an Increase. In addition to this a study of the ep- ' proprlationa made by the last leglsla ture will reveal a number of Items . which might easily be eliminated by the next legislature without serious In Jury to the welfare of the state. Some ' of these are appropriations for build' lags,, which will not be needed again. .' v' Many Uaaesesanry Items ?' Anionic th Items listed that prob' ably will not be heeded again are the following: Tourist advertising;. $45,000 Champoer Memorial building, $5000 ;,ed dltion to the receiving hospital at the Oregon state hospital, $60,000 ; hospital at the Soldiers' Home, $22,950; dorml tory at the state Institution for the - feebleminded, $10,000; fish hatcheries, 114.000 i state flax industry, $10,500 . Oregon National Ouard, $179,900; naval .militia. $15,000. p These Items make a total of $372,1150, Add to this the $350,000 which may be obtained under the 6 per cent limitation and the $250,000 additional Inheritance tax. and the total is $972,355, a large part of which the next legislature will have available for taking care of in crease In the cost of maintaining the stat government. - ; As an offset to a portion of this sum however, will be .the deficiency appro . priations befftg' allowed by the state emergency board.

' ENTERTAINMENT IS THE raveling Programs Provided for Men irv Woods, Many of Whom Seldom See Towns. Organization of the army T. M. C. A. as an aid to the airplane spruce camps of the Northwest has been completed, A circuit of entertainment, which pro Vldes for moving whole programs from one camp to another is being perfected, Communities in spruce production tones are cooperating with substantial con tribuflfpis toward expense. The Grays Harbor-'dtstrict, with' a quota of $10,000, gave 1S,0Q0. The Raymond district with a Quota of $4500 gave $10,000, and the Clatsop-county district with a quota or $5500 gave $8000. Army Y. M. C. A. secretaries art be ing assigned to the camps. In the Grays Harbor country, which has 35 spruce production camps, E. P. Giboney former pastor of the Madrona Presbyter- Ian church in Seattle, has been placed In charge of Y. M. C. A. work with W. G. Magwood as his associate. Many of the soldiers have been out in camp three months without going to town. They work eight hours a day and welcome the programs of entertain ment as diversion for their hours of leisure. In each camp a case of books has been provided. Much appreciation In connection is expressed for the work done by Miss Mary Frances Isom, Port land public librarian, who has directed the sending of thousands of volumes to the soldier loireers. Dr. Marsh, in Clatsop county, spends three days a week vi&tlng the spruce production soldiers in the forests. He carries to them books and papers and helps solve problems connected with al lowances and allotments made in favor of mothers and Wives. The Hoquiam Commercial club has arranged for auto mobile transportation for those who fur nish entertainment for the camps. Sev eral capable entertainers have been re cruited from among the men themselves. One of these is a musllcan who just before he left Madison, Wisconsin, gave a program which netted him $1000. One of the most popular entertainers who has visited the camps is "Captain Ell," a re tired whaler, 76 years of age, who be lieves implicitly in the story of Jonah, and has an unending store of seafaring yarns. The Seattle Rotary club is num bered among the organisations that help arrange for entertainment in the camps. The men welcome contributions of such games as chess, checkers and dominoes In addition to the books and papers. In the Grays Harbor district, Aberdeen has been made a center of distribution for books and literature. Soul of France Is Turned to America Paris, June 1. (I. N. S.) "In these troublous times, as well aa in the glori ous days when XaFayette, Rocharabeau and their companions turned towards the coast of 'America, the soul of every Frenchman today is turned towards yours, American." President Paul Deschanel of the French chamber of deputies today thus summed up the feelings of France for the United States, and France's appre ciation for America's war efforts. He added : "It is one of the finest things In his tory of our two peoples who fought to gether for the liberty of the New World that today they should be flghtlna shoulder to shoulder for the freedom of the human race." , Miss Stinson Finishes Flight Sheepshead Bay, N.

'Can Canned Goods' Is Latest Request Housewives Urged to Use Fresh Prnlts and "Vegetables la Season to Save Labor, metal and Material for Later, "Can the canned goods" is the latest request of the food administration. "While fresh vegetable are In sea son and the markets are full of green things, there is no excuse for eating canned goods and thus necessarily using up labor and metal," said W. K. Newell, assistant food administrator for Ore gon. Saturday morning. Housewives having a store of canned products on hand are requested to lay them away until autumn, and eat noth ing now but perishable food. It may not bo quite so easy to prepare ana cook fresh vegetables as to operate a can opener, but the results are not only more palatable, but the canned food Is saved for a period when the fresh is 110 longer available, and the tin, which is a scarce article In war times, and labor, Is conserved for other uses. Needed Sacrifices Pledged by Gompers Washington. June 1. (U. P.) "We want to win. We will Win.

FRECKLES Oregon 's Reconstruction Program University of' Oregon Tenth Commonwealth Conference in Port- (and, June 20-21, to Consider State's Part in Economic Readjustment After the War. Br F. G., Yoanr Professor of Eoosomic and Sociology. University f - of Orecon,- The University of Oregon's 10th an nual commonwealth ' conference, to be held in Portland June 20 and 21. will be devoted to organization for the activities of reconstruction that the winning of the war will devolve upon the people of Ore-. gon. Oregon, honors gained In contributions of men and money toward winning the war can be more than matched by pre eminent fulfillment of her. part when the war is won. The development of plan and policies of reconstruction for Oregon and the bringing ofthem to consumma tion wilt call for contributions of serv ice of the highest order of patriotic seal; The requirements for success : in this commonwealth service Include the active functioning of the - unlveralty-lts re source and expert leadership in alliance with the exponents of active public spirit throughout the state. ' RecoBstractlOB Policies Kow 'The timeliness and propriety of direct ing thought and effort to the problems of reconstruction for Oregon, while the outcome of the war at III hangs in the balance, is borne out in the fact that this forecasting of the problems that, must arise after the war gives v clearer, in spiring and sustaining Idea of what the war is for and also by the fact that the European peoples who have the havoc I and horrors of the war in, their midst. and its Immediate more appalling possi bilities for their futures staring them in the.face.' nevertheless have for some time had full fledged organizations planning reconstruction policies. England's Example Cited -England haa her ministry of recon struction with no less than 87 commis sions and committees at work- on differ ent appropriate problems, preparedness for which she deems vital when the day of peace cornea . Germany haa her "Im perial economics ministry." assisted by a a mammoth advisory council and by com mittees of experts, created for planning the work of reconstruction necessary for her welfare when the activities of peace are resumed. France, Italy and Japan are not far behind with their reconstruc tion organizations and programs. All this indicates that the victories of peace or preeminence in the perl era to follow the world war are to be striven for even more strenuously than are those of the war Itself. Opportunity Is Great Oregon's quota of men and money for winning the war are necessarily limited by the number of her people and by the amount of her accumulated wealth. Ore gon s possible service In the reconstruo- tlon sequel to the war is limited only by her resources, by her policies for bring ing them into use and by the faith and credit she can inspire among homeseek- ers and investors with those policies. In other words, Oregon's share of service to humanity's interests in the recon struction period Will practically be limit ed only by the patriotic zeal, intelligence and cooperation with whldh her people seize this largest opportunity for service. When the armies of the leading na tions of the world turn from their sus tained welter of destruction there will be a sore, keen and Immediate need of fully prepared projects of production In which the labor, capital and land factors are comDinea unaer conditions insuring mgn- est and most humane efficiency. Forehandedneu Urged The failure on our part at home to have developed to full readiness for act ual productive operation and use of en terprise and farms for settlement will meap most disheartening experience for those who have won the battles of the war. Such remissness on our part will prolong the privation caused by the war and would disgrace democracy. On the other hand, adequate preparedness for the Inevitable conditions of reconstruct tlon will mean that patriotic thought and effort will have brought Oregon s for- merly Idle resources Into readiness .for responding iruitiuuy to tne laoor or tne demobilized soldier and munition worker, Will these possible achievements of peace, with their appeal to the lmagtna- tlon and to hope, spur us as has the dread of defeat in war? If so, we are fit for lasting peace and competent for progressive democracy. Oregon's Real Com pens alio ny Oregon's real compensation for the cost and suffering of the war must be found in her more enlightened state life. Light is being shed In profusion by the crucial testa of the war on the prob lem of what is the right scale of 1Kb values and on the relative virtues of dif ferent practical policies. There will be unity and progress in our common wealth life only as we in our associated efforts adjust ourselves to the redeeming tendencies enforced by this new light. The changes for which the war Is pre paring, if 'through heedlessness we do not ignore them, will reach the vitals of our economic, social and political life. They mean team work with the largest use. of efficient? scientific method and the dominance of the live and let live spirit. Specifically, they are in the di rection of increased participation by woman in adapted political and econom ic activities. They mean also a more resolute and determined taboo on all thTtunVrniine. and the strength of moral purpose. Above all else, the war has been a test on a gigantic scale of economic strength. 11 nas eignauawa uio inaispensaDie excel- lence of real productive achievement that It has signalized the Indispensable excel- creates means of health, subsistence, ed ucation and leisure for edifying and re creational ends.

In such an up to date social or- der, intelligence, good will and real pro- ducttve effort will have their due re- wards. ; All for the Common Good The war has demonstrated that noth lne making for the ' common good impracticable.

Resources in the form of Idle lands are represented in logged -off lands to be cleared; in unproductive landa need- lTlg only dralnas6 to render them pro- ductive; arid lands needing irrigation ayatems constructed. For getting theae ready for occupa tlon by those who will make successful cultivators, but who are quite unable themselves to tackle the task of the Improvement required, a land settle- ment policy must be developed through Investigations, surveys, etc, land set tlement legislation enacted and land settlement commissions Bet at work. la the Iadiitrial Field Oregon's immense quantity of over ripe timber awaits the lumberman, the finished wood products industries -and the by-products processes for utiliza tion of wood waste. A comprehensively organised -forest utilization movement working in coop eration with the national forest service would avail much here. That every precaution be taken to avert the dire distress of. forced un employment at the end ot the war, mu nicipal public works and improvement of county marketing roads must be planned and budgetary provisions made ahead by their respective boards and engineers and so 4 that all will be in readiness to furnish employment imme diately to liberated labor and capital. Established industries, the adaptation of which to Oregon conditions has been demonstrated, can through alert asso ciated effort be given a leap ahead in the openings afforded by the after-the-war conditions. Among these are the dairy, the livestock and sheep. ' the fruit, berry and nut industries. The consciousness Of power devel oped through the achievement o&the seemingly insuperable undertakings of the war will make the Oregon people face the problem of the removal of the limiting factors to Oregon development In a different mood henceforth. Once primal need for collective welfare is identified and the means through Which it can be supplied understood, -vahort work will be made of the task of realis ing these : 1.

Daniel Bow man Sr.. a resident of Umatilla county since 1882, died suddenly last Sunday afternoon in the automobile in which he and other members of the family were returning to Pendleton after a day spent at the store owned by his son, D. C Bowman, at the Umatilla Indian agency. Mr. Bowman had seemed as well as usual, and joked with his wife, telling her she was older than he. On the read home, one of his eons turned around to speak to his father, who was riding in the back seat, when he saw the older man give a quick jerk and fall back. He was dead, the end being caused probably by a ruptured blood vessel in the heart or a stroke, physi clans say. Mr. Bowman was 81 years, 9 months and 5 days old. He was born in Ken tucky and crossed the plains in the early days to settle In California. He came to Oregon and Umatilla bounty from that state In 1882 before the rail road was built, and had made his home in this section ever since. Mr. Bowman first worked for Ed Marshall's father In the letter's black smith shop, across from the Hotel Pen dleton. Later he moved to Butter Creek and Nolin, returning here in 1889, when he opened up a blacksmith shop of his own on West Alta street. At different times he also worked for H. M. Sloan. Mr. Bowman is survived by his wife and nine children, as follows: Mrs. H. A. Clemens, Stanwoed, Wash.; Mra A. I Phillips. Pendleton I'D. C Bowman. Pendleton; van V. Bowman, Portland Bernie E.
