"'$600,000 More Than Previous
f-t Setslorv at Disposal ' :
" Balem, Or., June 1. 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.

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

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

"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

is a scarce article In war times, and
labor, Is conserved for other uses.

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.

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. An economio power, hydro-electric
from our water power or a distillate
from our wood waste, is felt to be one
such need. 1
2. A transportation rate system and

early days to settle In California. He

in this section ever since.

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.
