SATURDAY MORNING. OCTOBER SO. 1020 THE OREGON STATESMAN, SALEM, OREGON. LEVY MEASURE IS EXPLAINED Council Ways and Means Committee Urges Voters . to Support Bill 3. Banmgartner, O. L. Scott and Edward Scluinke. composing the Tvayt and mean committee of the I'alem city council, have prepared a statement showing facts and fig ures relative to the measure to be voted on next Tuesday grantir g the city council authority to 1?a y tax of $2.000 over the. 6 pr cent limitation of the state co 1- ttltutlon. "The statement follows: "Several months before the b? srlnnlng of a new year the ways and means committee cf the city council meets to consider the ex penditure of the coming year end submit a budget to the city council for its consideration. Th-3 council adopted a budget which tlit-y sincerely bellevi-d would take car of the city's ex penses for the year 1920. it that lime they were of the opinion that the neak of high prices had bten reached, but early ,in the j ear it became evident that they were mistaken, the various de partments of the city jconMng to the city council with demajidsfor increases of salaries and'; wage3 and taking conditions into consid eration, increases were granted. These increases were pillowed to the police department, fire de- estimates, and to cover which taxes had been levied. The total estimated expenditures for 1920 were $170,000. but the actual ex penditures will be approximately $lio.ooo. To cover this shortage the city had on hand in its gen eral lurid on the first of January. 1920. thet ium of $12,000. to which was added $4000 received from the sale of an old paving plant the city was fortunate in selling, and an increase over the estimated receipts in the office of city treasurer and city record er collected lor fines, licenses, etc. "In arriving at the amount subject to an increase of -6 per cent over last year's levy, we must particularly note that this increase is allowed only over the interests of the city; the street department activities would have to be curtailed; no bridges could be built; the city's parks and other properties could receive but sparse attention, and to use a slang expression, the rity would soon run down at the heels." in the street department.' and the materials in the various depart ments cost far in excess of our I bughiheatreIB partment and the men employed j ieVy and not over the actual ex penditure of the former year, and this amount is again subject to certain exemption. For instance, from the estimate for 1920 of $170,000. $7.r.,000 must be' de ducted which was paid for the re tiring of bonds and bond inter est on general obligations of the city, also the amount of estimated income of the treasurer's and re corder's offices must be deducted Today Tomorrow HIPPODROME VAUDEVILL LAST DAY "RIO GRANDE" SUNDAY "GIRL OF THE SEA and ' LARRY SEMON PORTLAND TEAM MEETS SALEM HI Local Eleven Will Battle for Football Supremacy on Willamette Field Red and black defenders will today meet Jefferson high school of Portland at 2:30 p. nt. on the Willamette field 'in an effort to secure another slice of the state championship bacon.

ASK TO SEE OUR WESTERN PIPELESS FURNACE C.S. HAjMILTON House Furnisher an interesting fact to note that while the council is asking for an increase of $25,000 to cover its increased demands on its gen eral and street and highways funds, the total amount covering all its expenditures, including the payments of bonds and bond In terest is only $11,000 more ihan the, 1920 estimate, and the tax payers are asked to contribute only this $11,000 more towards the expenditures of the city than they were asked to pay in 1920. This is explained by the fact that the city is constantly cutting down its bonded indebtedness, and in consequence, its interest charges. In 1920 the city has retired $4 0.- 000 of its outstanding bonds. In 1921, $31 000 will become due and must bs paid. These are Fe- 1 bonds which, as the name im plies, are bonds on which a cer tain percentage of the principal must- be paid each year. "To get a detailed exptanation my one can. call on the treasurer or recorder, as the purpose of this article is only to give a general outline of the city's financial problem and to ask the voters of the city to give it their affirma tive vote at the polls next Tues day. 'Should the assessed valuation of the -city be the same as for the year 1919. the taxes which ivere collected this year and on which the city levied a tax of 13.9 mills, the increase of the levy will be less than one mill, or in other woras, less tnan i on every $1000 of taxable property. "The question has been asked. What will happen if this Increase is not allowed? The city of Sa lem Is growing and the council would be compelled to deny all requests for additional lights In the various newly built-up por tions of the city; no water hy drants for fire protection could be put in; the police and fire de partment expenditures would have to be restricted to a point that would be dangerous for the best teamj said: "While I know but little of their condition as yet, they are entering the game with a fine sririt. and that counts for a great deal.' Jefferson high, the largest school in Tortland. has for the last three years held the suprem acy of Portland anJ has turned out splendidly organized teams. This year's team," which has met defeat once, is generally consid ered by Portland critics to reach about an average standard. Due to lack of organization, in dividual plays will no doubt count for much. After his splendid work in last Friday's game, a great deal is expected of Herb Socolofsky. He has a habit of making a yard or two after he lias been tackled. Reinlart, Ash- by and Adolph, composing the remainder of the backfield, are all fast players. R. Reinhart can open a hole five yards wide, and Dailey. right end. has a system of getting around end without being noticed by his opponents. Hard, steady work by the, lina can also be counted on. The line-up for Salem Is as fol lows: Left' end. Husey; left tackle, R. Reinhart (captain); left guard. Baggott: center. M. Jones; right guard. E. White; right tackle. R. White: right end, Dailey; quar ter, F. Reinhart: right half, Adolph; fullback, Ashby. WM.

Demosthenese of old has sev eral rivals upon the Willamette campus who are already warbling with pebbles in their mouths in preparation for the forensic con tests of the year.' Willamette university will not only vie for honors with colleges of the west in athletics this sea son.' but It purposes to carry the bonner of cardinal and gold for a sweeping victory In the art of debate. Announcements have now been made proclaiming the inter-clas3 debates upon the subject. "Re solved. That the Japanese Should be Granted Citizenship on the Same Basis as Europeans."; - Up to date about nine freshmen have rerponded to the summons and about four members from each or tne other three classes. In terclass rivalry in debate was ex ceedingly keen last year and a greater amount of Interest seems to be manifest this season, 'as the orators, prepare for the de bate contests in December. Tinkham Gilbert, forensic man ager, predicts that Willamette will have one of its most successful seasons in debate and oratory; nans are being formulated for a triangular debate among Pacific university. McMinnville college and Willamette. Last year the cardinal and gold defenders won a complete victory over those in stitutions. Separate debates will probably be scheduled with the! College of Puget sound and Wash ington state college, while nego tiations are under way for con tests with" O. A. C. and University of Oregon. Willamette not only has its Lincolns and Douglases, but It has its Carrie Nations as' well, fcr the co-ed debaters take evprv laurel from their opponents last year. A co-ed triangular debate will probably be arranged among O. A. C. Oregon and Willamette, as well as the usual contests with Pacific. McMinnville and College of Puget Sound.
