10 THE . OREGON DAILY JOURNAL,; PORTLAND,' TUESDAY, APRIL 20, 1920. .1 , MN NIK E OF ENGLAND PAY BIG TOBACCO TAX By Percy Sari I'nited Vew 8Uff Correspondent London, April 20. The heaviest burden of the budget calling for an expenditure of 1,184,102,000. presented in commons by Chancel lor of the Exchequer Austen Oham--berlain, are aadd'.ed on booze, big buHlneHa an'd war profiteers. At the normal rate or ext-hange the floating debt named by Chamberlain would be fi, 377,516.300. At the present rate It amounts to 5,!70.n87.700. The estimated expenditures and revenues at the present rate amount to $4,638,160, 8; and $5,286,101,000. Chamberlain pointed out that the dif ference between the expenditure and revenues left 165.000,000 ($646,160,000) to be applied toward reduction of the debt. Heavy smoking by women, Chamber lain declared. Is largely responsible for a surplus of 14.000,000 ($55,160,000) in the tobacco revenue. There was a huge attendance in com mons when Chamberlain rose to Intro duce his annual budget. The secret of the budget is one of the most carefully guarded matters in British parliamen tary procedure, and even the best In formed experts could only hazard guesses. While tt was generally hoped there would be no fresh taxation on ordinary commodities, the chancellor announced that letter and newspaper rate would be raised and the. telegraph would be practically doubled. New taxes on motors and liquors will also become effective January 1. The duty on spirits, he proposed, shall be raised from 22 to 72 shillings per proof gallon, with a proportionate Increase in the retail price. TAX BETCBN ElfORMOFS The entire tax changes he proposed. Chamberlain declared, will produce 76. 000,000 during the current year and 198.000,000 ($780,120,000) for the year. The credit borrowings of the govern ment for the past year were 1,665,773, 000, revenue 1. 839,571, 000. leaving a deficit of 326.202,000 ($1,285,235,880), Chamberlain declared. The floating debt has been decreased 100.000,000. the chancellor said. There was a general rustle of antici pation, when at the conclusion of "ques tions," the clerk. of the house read the ed. with the inevitable orchid button hole In his coat. Chamberlain carefully adjusted his monocle and proceeded -to explain the mass of figures in the stacks of papers supplied by the secretaries. Chamberlain is a quiet, effective speaker who does not indulge in oratorical ver biage, and he made his statement much as a busy financier would address a board meeting. JOHNSON VOTE TO WN NEBRASKA (Continued from Pic One) at a time when a considerable number of like-minded senators fell by the way side. As Norrls won then, Johnson may win now, as they appeal to the same1 vote. Norria is for Johnson. They have stood side by side in fighting the League of Nations, and the alliance is natural. Nebraska was for a tlm a Pershing hope. It is Pershing's home state, and he has been industriously boosted as favorite son by organizers who were orders of the day and Speaker Lowther ! early in the field. Considerable num- called upon "Mr. Chancellor of the Ex- I hers of ex-service men enlisted for his chequer. CHAMBERLAIN IS HONORED The house Is always sympathetic to ward the chancellor on budget day, but, in view of the areneral feelln? of nntl. i mlm Phamhorttilii - a a a ruinA tiA nn unusually cordial reception on arising. Quiet, self-possessed and well groom- fight, but only a few of the politicians. He is expected to poll a strong vote, and perhaps go ahead of Wood. There will be no surprise if he runs second, as it is difficult to estimate the comparative strength of Pershing and Wood, who will largely draw from the same reservoir. On the Democratic side the names on the ballot are those of Senator Hitch- Portland Special $1ft:oo Value $ 12.00 The "ROSE CITY" In Dark Brown Calfskin, exceptionally fine and flexible.

Boss, both sons of Nebraska. Ross Is more or less In the Joke class, but he is expected to poll a respectable vote, nevertheless, because William J. Bryan, who has no liking for Hitchcock, has advised his friends to vote for Ross. Hitchcock, la his newspaper, has had considerable fun at the expense, of Bryan and Ross by printing verbatim ex tracts froni Roes' declaration of candi dacy, which, show his illiteracy and unique style of composition. Assuming that Hitchcock win win the preference vote over the local celebrity, deeper interest attaches to the delegates to be chosen. There are two slates, one pledged to Hitchcock, the other headed by Bryan and unpledged. Senator Hitch cock feels confident he will carry through his delegates, and that Bryan will be turned down, and refused a seat in the convention, as he was four years ago. BETAS FIGHTS HITCHCOCK Bryan has announced that if elected a delegate and instructed for Hitchcock he will sit ty and let his alternate cast the vote. He objects to Hitchcock be cause the senator is a "wet," opposed woman suffrage and fought for the League ol Nations without reservations. The Nebraska contest is of interest because !t will determine whether Per shing is to remain on the horizon xs a possible choice by the Republicans, and it will decide whether Bryan is to have a ringside seat wh-n. the Democratic braves assemble at San Francisco. The voters today are selecting the party nominees for congress from all districts and choosing nominees for state offices. The Republican gubernatorial contest has contributed much interest to to day's election. Governor S. R. McKel vie, asking reelection, is opposed by five other candidates seeking the nomination. Central Point, filed for the Republican nomination for county commissioner, making the third man in the race. DEMOCRATS IN SESSION TO CHOSE TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN Chicago. April 20. (L N.

That Herbert Hoover will carry California In the forthcoming primary election over Hiram Johnson, the state's other favorite son, is the pre diction of Colonel E. Ilofer, who has re turned toi Salem after a tour over the J southern coast state. Fully half of the i former Johnson adherents are out for j Hoover, according to Hofer, who de- clares that the old Johnson machine has gone to pieces. . Burton Speaks to O. O. P.

On of the most bitter fights of the pre-con vention campaign is under way in New Jersey. The state is much fnore comprehen sive than its 28 delegates Indicate. Sen ator Hiram Johnson is struggling for a foothold in the East. Major General Lieonard Wood is working to prevent a repetition of the Michigan disaster. Johnson's friends regard the New Jer sey primary as vita). Many trained political observers hold the belief that the senator must make a showing in the East. Wood's backers claim that their can didate must repel Johnson in New Jer sey, not only to maintain a compara tively unbroken front in the East, but to wipe out the memory of the Michigan primary. Wood also has a severe task on. his hands in the Nebraska and Montana contests this week and in Ohio next week. It is learned on the highest au thority that in view of the strenuous : program confronting the general, his i friends have decided to attempt to in- duce Frank Hitchcock, who managed the campaigns of William H. Taft and : Charles E. Hughes, to take a more act i lve part in Wood's campaign. Hitchcock, at Wood's invitation, be ! came comanager of the Wood organiza j tion some time ago, but he has remained 1 in New York without apparently par j ticipating greatly in the direction of the campaign. j POIND EXTER TURNED DOWN j BY KLICKITAT COUNTY G.
