MONDAY. NOVEMBER 1. 1920. G THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL'., PORTLAND. OREGON- TAX LEW FAILURE' WOULD CUT DOWN CITY SERVICE 3D Regardless of what anyene may ay to the contrary, a defeat of the three-mill tax measure at Tuesday' election will force a reduction of the fire department by a large number of mcnr the cloning of several fire nations,-the reduction of the police forco by possibly 100 men and ft general curtailment ; to the extent sf one third of every branch of the slty service. t i ; ! Announcement to this effect was made today by members of the city council in a statement addressed to the public In . .which they say it la their duty -to stress the real meaning of tho three-mill tax measure and the result of its defeat at the polls. 1 FACTS ABE SUBMITTED The council In announcing that a defeat of the three-mill .tax measure will force a reduction by one th'-A of all munlcln&U service, does not ruo so with any idea of making, a threat,' says the statement. i 1 "The announcement is mafle to Inform the public of what la involved in this ' issue and having done this we shall abide by the decision. If the voters (determine that they want service reduced there .will be nothing, left for the council cept to reduce. ( . . - : i "The reduction-will be decidedly seri ous. It will be Inevitable to prevent-the , closing of a number yt "fire stations, ' the aiscnarge or a large numoer oi ure men, the reduction of the police force and a general reduction of at least one third in every other department. "We feel it our duty to warn the pub- lio of the consequences of a defeat of . the three-mill tax no that there may be no misunderstanding. -After election will ' be too late to prevent the menace that will result no matter what public opinion might be at that time. EXFE5SES INCREASED "That the puhlic may bel advised the issue Involved in the tax is presented herewith briefly. Eight ipills of tax ation was required to maintain the city J service: In 1916. Since then the natural . ,increaaes In the cost of labor, supplies, etc., has been such that to maintain the same service now requires 11 mills of taxation. The limit of taxation is fixed ' by law at 8 -mills but for two years "past tho. voters have authorized addi tional taxation. Before this additional .- taxation can be imposed next year it must again be authorized by the voters. Jf it Is not authorized the levy must be . confined to eight mills, which will mean 'that the city must -cut out' one third of all present service. The Increased cost of the service since 1919 is not a result of increased forers, but the natural In crease la the coat of all things enter I ng into service." I ' . DR. C. J. SMITH INDORSES , . , DIVIDED SESSION MEAStTRE . "I am in favor of the divided session amendment," says Dr. Charles J. Smith, chairman of the Democratic State central committee, "because I know from my ex perlen6e in the state senate that our .present legislative session is entirely inadequate. ! know that It Is next to Impossible to even read the numerous bills which are Introduced, let alone con aider them Intelligently, and act for the best Interests of the people of Oregon." In the above statement. Dr. i Smith voices the sentiment of the square-dealing legislators of the state. He has , been a member of the state senate for .eight years and Is known throughout the state as an advocate of square and fair legislation for the whole commonwealth and a bitter enemy to special interests and secret legislation. "Under the present system,?1 continued Dr. Smith, "the Iaw-makera or the state have but 40 days to consider and pass the hundreds of bills which are : Introduced 'at every session. More than half of this time 4s tat en up in organization of com mittees, etc., and the big bulk of the legislation is hurried through: in the last few days of the session. I t know per sonally that hundreds of bills' are passed without being even read by the members and are made laws without; any Intel ligent deliberation. S "The divided-session amendment will do away with this dangerous condition. In the first session of 40 days the usual organization and . passage f proposed laws will be made. The members of both houses will then go home for a recess of 60 days. This Interim will allow the light of publicity to be shed fupon every proposed law and cause careful delibera tion to be made. Before these tentatively passed laws become actual laws it will be ' necessary for the members of the legislature to convene again for 10 days and repass. them. litigation over unconstitutional laws and "The having to the state in lessened conflicting clauses with previously passed laws will . more than pay for the extra 10: days'! session of tho legislature. And the great safeguard against freak and vicious bills rushed through at the last hour of 'the session . will be Ironclad. Under the operation of the divided ses sion amendment it will be .impossible for secret egislatipn and bills wih danger ous jokers inserted to be passed." : Her Pipe So Strong, - Buffalo Man Puts Out His Ma-inLaw Buffalo, N.

He only uses the flag to cloak his own misdeeds. While we were ' at' war he ' never raised Ws voice to protect our children, our mothers, our wives, our sisters and brothers . from , the greedy profiteer.
