3U LEVY NEEDED
TO MEET LOSSES IN
ASSESSED VALUES
N v By Ward A. Irvine
Had the assessed valuation of
property In Portland increased year
''by year an anticipated, the city coun
cil would not have been compelled
In 1920 and would not now be com
pelled to ask the-people for authori
sation of an additional 3-mlll tax
levy.
The limit of taxation for payment of
, ', general expenses Including- maintenance
and repair of nwen and paved street
! tmttls. It was fixed at mills on the
theory that the increased value of prop
erty from year to year would provide
more money from tba same levy.
DKPKND ON INCREASE
Thus, It was reasoned, Increased ex
pendllures necessitated by growth ot
f. the city would be cared for by tne In
creased return as a result of the in
creased valuation.
But property values have not In
creased. The assessed value of Port
, land property in 1914 was 1314,000,000.
In 1916 it was approximately $308,000.-
oooi in m u was iaoa.ooo.ooo. It was
- 2f5,0O0,0O0 in 1917 and 1284,000,000 in
191S. It rose again in 1919 to $305,000,
. 000' and ia $212,000,000 this year. The as
iwxwcd valuation for 1921 la estimated at
' 1113,000,000.
Although the annexed value has actu
ally decreased, automatically decreasing
the amount of money to come from the
levy, and the value of .the dollar has
dropped to approximately one half, mu
nicipal service has extended to keep pace
. with the growth of the city.
EXFESSKS ON INCREASE
There are more pavements to main
tain, more sewers to maintain, more
treeta to clean, more policemen to pay,
more firemen to pay. Kxpansion carry
ing with It Increased expense has been
general. Every department Is larger
' and haa an Increased volume of business.
If the 3 miH tax is authorized by the
voters of Portland In November, the city
council will have J2, 375. 000 from taxa
tion and . $400,000 in miacellaneoun re-
celpu or a total of $3,375,000 on which
to conduct municipal service In 1921. The
council had $3,965,000 In 1920. If the
tax la defeated, the council must conduct
the city service on $2,885,000 In 1921.
Associate Justice
N Attacks Decision
In Favor of Drys
Washington, Oct. 20. (I. N. 8.) Asso
ciate Justice Clark of the United States
supreme court today attacked the de
cision of the court In declaring the pro
hibition amendment and the Volstead act
constitutional, when he filed his dis
senting opinion to the decision handed
down by the court on June 7.
"I cunnot agree with the conclusion
of the court which approves a defini
tion of liquor as Intoxicating which is
expressly admitted not to be Intoxicat
ing," said Justice Clark In his opinion.
He declared that the court had ex
ceeded Its authority in approving those
provisions of the Volstead act which fix
the limit of non-intoxicants at one half
of one per cent of alcohol. Furthermore,
the '. justice warned, that this decision
will bring about a flood of appeals and
cases before the court to determine what
constitutes an intoxicant.
The justice also declared that the
court in its decision had read out the
word "concurrent" from the prohibition
amendment, and had deprived the states
of their power to pass concurrent legis
lation or to disapprove. He pointed out
that this would have had little effect on
the operation of the law. but that it
would have made it possible for state
officials to join in enforcing the law
and removed the "odium" from the fed
eral government of enforcing a law
"which must cut the daily life of the
people very Intimately."
.Secretary Houston
Requests Bajiks to
Give Farmers Aid
Washington, Oct. 20 (U. P.) Five
of the country's most important flnan
. rial proWems were discussed by Secre
tary of tne Treasury Houston before the
conventle of the American Bankers'
association here today. He outlined the
problems and recommended ways for
their solution.
Houston first took up the farmers'
plea for financial aid in marketing their
crops. He asked the bankers to help
the farmers all they could. He warned
the farmers that world-wide price re
cession Is on and that the government
could not halt It if it wished.
'Discussing Liberty bonds, the sec re
lary declared against all steps of re
funding the bonds in securities, bearing
higher interest. The bonds, he said
would soon return to par without such
measures.
The public debt, Houston said, has
been reduced more than 12, 600.000.000
and the floating debt 21,600,000,000 since
August, 1919.
The allies' djfcbt to the United States
should not be? forgiven, the secretary
said, adding iegotiations toward turn
ing of demand obligations now held by
this governbient Into long time obllga-
lions are proceeding.
Federal taxes should be revised, the
secretary said, but warned the total they
.are to bring In cannot be greatly cut

PORTLAND'S AID IN
RECLAIMING LAND
By Fred Lockley
(Journal Staff Comapondeat)
Ontario. Or.. Oct, 30. Ontario did
itself proud in the warmth and cor
diality of its welcome to the Port
land business men. Nearly 200 tat
down to a "Grown in Ontario" ban
quet given by the Portland visitors
to the citizens of Ontario. Celery
and apples, chicken and potatoes,
corn, milk, butter and all the oCher
good things served at the banquet
were grown right here in Ontario:
There was plenty of sunshine here,
though mighty little moonshine, but no
amount of moonshine could put as much
ginger Into a banquet as does Walter
Jenkins.
SOTfGS MAKE BIT
Songs and local parodies, fictitious
telegrams and speeches kept the ban
queters in a festive mood. p. J. Gal
lagher proved an ideal toastmaster. W
H, Homan welcomed the visitors to the
fertile Snake river valley. R. W. Price,
former president of the Oregon Hotel
Men's association, spoke of the tourist
possibilities of the West "Most towns
are known by their hotels," said Price,
"Tourists praise a town where they re
ceive good treatment at the hotel. We
must treat our guests with hospitality,
We don't charge for hospitality ; only for
service.
' "We need to provide better roads and
better hotels and camp sites for auto
tourists. We have the scenery- Let's
tell the world about it. We can be the
most talked of state in the Union if we
will all pull together In the tourist busi
ness." During the banquet J. J. Smith sang
a solo, as did Miss Katherine Conway
CLOSER UJriOX FLEA
George Aiken, publisher of ' the On
tario Argus, made an eloquent plea for
closer business relations between Port
land and Ontario. "If you will furnish
the cash we will develop our idle lands
snd help make Portland the big port of
the Pacific coast." he said. Clarence D,
Porter, made a witty speech in which he
told of Portland's friendship for the In
land Empire.
Ralph W. Swagler, district attorney of
Malheur county, spoke of the great pos
sibilities of Malheur county, under irri
gation. "We are in favor of prohibition. We
believe In water and lots of it. We want
water on our idle lands. We can show
you what has been done. We have 10,000
acres in crops but that is but a small
part of what we can farm if we can get
the water. We want you to go back as
missionaries to your fellow .citizens to
convert them to the gospel of a 'Greater
Oregon.'
With your cooperation we can
develop an empire in this county
You
can help us. Will you?"
NYSSA GIVES GEEETIHG
The merchants of Nyssa and the farm
ers of the surrounding country met the
delegation of Portland men with autos
at the train and took them for a 25

adjacent sage brush land. We were
taken past emerald green fields that pro
duced four crops of alfalfa yearly and
that yield from six io seven tons per
acre annually.
From a nearby butte we could look
away to Mitchell Butte and Chalk Butte

with water, would be worth 1300 an acre,
but which can be had for a fraction of
that price today.

GOV. COX SCORES
SENATOR LODGE
IE STATE
Boston. Oct. 20. Governor James
M. Cox "slipped up" on a crowd of
about 10,000 people who had waited
inre than two hours for him to
appear on tne Boston common nero
Tuesday night.
Although a score of policemeji had a
lane opened through the crowdy the gov
ernor, in an effort to reach the platform
as soon as possible, climbed under ropes
snd worked his way through the crowd
almost unnoticed.
Although in the territory of Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge, the governor did
not hesitate to attack him bitterly. He
said:
"In this' very city.' Governor Coolidge,
as chairman of the celebrated debate be
tween your senior senator and the presi
dent of Harvard university, said. Intro
ducing the former, that Henry Cabot
Lodge was famous everywhere.'
FINDS LODGJB HtfTOBIOCS
"I have Just completed a pilgrimage
from the Atlantic to the Pacific and hack
again, visiting almost every state tn
the Union. I can testify to the truth of
the governor's statement Senator Lodge
must be known to. every man and wopaaa
In every city and . village In this land.
for wherever I have mentioned his name
it has ben recognised and greeted, not
with cheers, but with Jeers ; not with ap
plause, but with hisses and loud cries of
'Shame ! Shame ! Shame !' Judging from
this Justly repeated experience I should
be disposed to suggest even to a Boston
audience that It would have been more
accurate to have said that the senator
ia "notorious" everywhere rather than
that he is "famous.
"Now, why have the people risen en
masse In condemnation of Senator
Lodge? The reason is clear. Our people
are quick to recognise Insincerity. They
have patience with our buccaneering
politicians who. while America is pass
ing through dangerous seas, have not
hesitated to scuttle the ship of state to
try to win a presidential election.
"Their active resentment is aroused,
when out of the conspiracy of silence
emerees the fact that after the presi
dent of the United States had consulted
with both the senate committee on foreign
relations and the house committee on
foreign affairs, after he had taken all
their suggested amendments and had
promised his Influence to secure their
adoption at the peace conference, the
baH Plot was formed by Henry Cabot
Lodge to stab the treaty In the back.
WILSON KEPT FAITH
"It must be noted that President Wil
son kept the faith and secured the adop
tion of the amendments after a hard
fight But even before the president
had a chance to return to Paris the base
conspiracy and the infamous round
robin was under way, and the nefarious
pledge had been made to strangle the
treaty to death. From that dark day
ugjil now no means have been too vile
to employ to traduce American opinion
and betray the confidence of the elec
torate. And Lodge's leadership was
made possible only by the vote of Tru
man H. Newberry, now under conviction
in the state of Michigan for having pur
chased his seat in the senate from that
state.
"Malicious falsehoods have been scat
tered like autumn leaves and the hy
pocrisy of Lodge himself is one of the
outstanding black events In American
history. In the light of his earlier re
corded pronouncements he has been
forced to stultify himself over and oyer
again. He has libeled and slandered ho
man more than himself. He Is support
ing a candidate who voted for the Knox
resolution for a separate peace with
IN HON
Germany and who haa since publicly
advocated the same unworthy act - And
yet. In an article over his own signature
In the Forum magasine in ISIS, Lodge
said If we were to make such a peace
w would be guilty ot the blackest
crime,' and added we cannot make peace
except with our allies: it would brand
us with everlasting dishonor if we un
dertook to make such a peace."

Speaking this afternoon to a great
gathering of people at an old tuh

has faced In the campaign. From all
over Southern Ohio and parts of Indiana,
Kentucky, West Virginia and Pennsyl
vania, people came here today by spe
cial train and motor to st tend the bar
becue. Preliminary estimates of the crowd
ran as high as 60.000.
To feed Usts great throng 60 beeves
were,butchered and cooked in open oven
trenches. There was "burgoo" an old-time
Kentucky institution, consisting ot
a concoction of meat and vegetables
cooked in huge iron pots. Several car
loads of produce went Into the burgoo
pot a
Senator Harding arrived at noon on a
special train. After lunching on barbe-
cue beef and burgoo he made a short
speech. Representative "Nick" Long-
worth and Frank B. Willis, candidate
for Senator Harding's seat in the sen
ate, also spoke.
Many of those attending were from
the Iron and steel regions of Southern
