made here last night by the state
tax commissioner,- .'". ; '' h'""
The special taxes for 1926, as
Included in the levy follow;
Agricultural college, $743,
682.94. SUte university, $557,762.20.
Normal schools, $65,072.26.

Taxpayers of the state of Ore
gon will provide a total of $7,200,
830.79 for state purposes during
the year 1926.
Approximately $2,038,431.72 of
. this amount comes within the six
per cent tax limitation amend
ment, and was levied by the state
- tax commission. The remaining
$5,162,399.07 represents special
: tax levies made mandatory by
law. The 1926 levy is '$292,000
less, than that "for the year 1925.
A summary prepared by . the
state tax commission last night
showed that the tax for the year)
1926 within the six per cent lim
itation is approximately $115,483
. In excess of that in 1925. The
special levies show a decrease of
approximately $400,000,Twhen
compared with these levies for
1925. This decrease was made
possible, it was said, becaase of
the action of the last legislature
In 'reducing the- levy for the sol
diers bones fund br"one-halt milL
r The resultant reduction In this
ax for 1926 Is $542,268 when
compared with' that for 19 2 5.
Despite the levy authorized by
the state tax commission there
will be a deficit of $480,000 to
meet the actual needs of the state
in 1926. ; -
This deficit will result from re
strictions Imposed by the six per
cent limitation amendment. .
Necessities of the state for all
governmental - functions during
the year1926, other than those
covered, by special millage levies,
uwere estimated at $5,194,198.68.
-This amount is partly offset by
an item of $575,267.76 which rep
resents surplus funds on hand.
This reduces the amount to be
"raised to $4,618,930.92. Fees to
be received by the state from

mated at $2,099,635.85.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 11 (By

Chairman Green of the ways

MADE IN SAHARA DESERT
RESULTS OP THE EXPEDITION
ELATE ARCHAEOLOGISTS
Tomb Believed to bo That of Le
gendary Ancestresa ' of. ;
Tuarega Kings
PARIS, Dec. 11. (By Associat
ed Press). The discoveries made
In the Hoggar country of the Cen
tral Sahara by Count Byron Kun
de Prorok and his De Prorok-
Beloit' college expedition, came
before the academy of inscriptions
of the French institute today and
aroused " more interest among
members of that body than the
scheduled election of a new mem
ber of the'academy.' "
Professor Stephane Gsell of the
College of France, an authority,
on North African archaelogy, read
his report on the discovery of (he
tomb which Count de Prorok be
lieves is that of Tin Hanan, the
legendary ancestress of the Kings
of the Tuaregs, the strange white
race of the Central Sahara. : ;
The discussion showed a divi
sion of opinion among the scien
tists as to the antiquity of Tin
Hanan's tomb although all agreed
on its importance te archaelogy.
Salomon Reinach, conservator of
the national museum or St. Ger
main, called it the "greatest dis
covery and richest tomo ; ever
found In . North Africa outside
Egypt." He placed the date: of
the tomb about 500 B. C. The
Abbe Chabot, noted Orientalogist,
however, said it dated f rob "about
the time of Christ.
M. Gsell, who said he had been
misquoted by French and Ameri
can newspapers, asserted the tomb
could not have been made earlier
than 1,000 B. C, because of the
iron objects found in it, but said
be thought it more likely that.it
dated from the ninth or tenth cen
tury of the Christian era. (Dis
patches from Paris quoted M.
Gsell as saying that Tin Hanan
lived in the fifteenth or sixteenth
century of our era).
His report referred to the "rich
harvest of archaelogical and lin
guistic documents brought back"
by the expedition.
The so-called "Libyan Venus'
which Count de Prorok , andLJl
aiaas t nougat Deiongea to tne
Aurignacian epoch about 1,000 B.
C, ound near the tomb, has been
set aside for study by the acad
emy of inscriptions, which will
make an official report within two
or threeweeks. Other materials
from the tomb also will be gone
over carefully by this learned
body.

HIS FATHER'S FOOTSTEPS !
FRENCH FINANCE HEAD
FINDS SLEDDING HARD
M. LOUCHEUR'S PREDICTION
ALREADY COMIXQ TRUE
Statement That ' He Would
"Most Unpopular Man in
- France," Verified
Be
PARIS, Dec. 11. (By Associat
ed Press.) M." Loucheur's proph
ecy when he assumed charge of
the ministry of finance that his
fiscal measures would make him
the most unpopular man in France
already is being realized. His fin
ancial bills are meeting with grow
ing opposition in parliamentary
quarters.
He spent virtually the entire af
ternoon explaining to his ministers
and the finance committee of the
chamber of deputies but apparent
ly failed to convince the majority
of the committee. Expert parlia
mentarians say1 the political fate
o fthe finance minister may be
greatly compromised when the
bills reach the oratorical and vot
ing stage i nthe open chamber.
The piecemeal introduction in
to the chamber of Loucheur's seven
financial bills, five of them hav
ing been deposited with M. Her
rlott, president of the chamber,
since Monday and the remaining
two still being' revised, has caus
ed much criticism In the chamber,
where the, measures themselves
are unpopular.
The bill introduced today deals
with a method of security conver
sion that will be offered to holders
of government bonds. By the
terms the holders of the present,
4, o, and 6 per cent french in-
4AMHAS 1 1 . ....
iciuiiuuuai Donas would be per
mitted to convert them into a sin
gle 5 per cent security which would
be accepted by the government in
sieaa or cash in the payment of
inheritance taxes.
In addition to the opposition
shown by the finance committee
the attitude of several important
poiiucal groups aoes not augur
well for the future of he legisla
tion which the finance minister
has prepared. He has made
it
known that his projects are sub
Ject to amendments and this con
cession has been seized upon avid
ly by the socialists.

Hearing Charges, Denials,
New Charges
FULL FACTS ARE SOUGHT
W. B. Haines, PoitHand National
Bank, Accuses; Siate Super
intendent; Hearing to ,
Continue Thuiday f
Removal of Frank Bramwell,
state superintendent of '.bank, was
demanded by W.? B. Haines and,
other officials of the Portland Na
tional bank, at a speci 1 meeting
of the state banking qoard hejld
here Friday. Membem' of Jtfhe
banking board j are j Gover nor,
Pierce, Secretary of Sba(e ' Koaej
and State Treasuner Kay.
After a full day sjent tn hear
ing the charges preferred by Mr.
Haines and his associates, denials
and counter charges by Mr. Bram
well, and statenients by a number
of country bankers, it was decided
to continue the Investigations un
til next Thursday.1 At that time
all witnesses will testify under
oath and only testimony pertinent
to the charges lodged' against the
state banking superintendent will
be admitted. )
The principal jchalrges lodged
against Mr. Bramwell were that
he had discriminated ; against , the
Portland National bfink through
his refusal to permit .the institu
tion to act as a reserve agency for
state banks, and that lie had writ
ten a series of letters in' which he
sought to have one of hjis employes
established as owner ,of an , uni
dentified depository on terms to
be dictated by the state superin
tendent of banks; Tlliese letters
were said to have been sent to the
board of directors' of tha unidenti
fied institutions. .
The original letters over the
signature of Mr. ;Bramtwellv were
submitted to members of the bank-
injt board but later were with
drawn with the understanding that
copies Ul4hem ' ouldbeprepared
or tne state snperratemaent oi
banks and introduced in evidence
at the hearing herer next week.
Although neither Mr. Haines
nor his associates attempted to
charge fraud on the part of Mr.
Bramwell in connection with the
letters, it was intimated by the
complainants that if the proposal
contained therein had been carried
to a successful conclusion, there
would have been ample opportun
ity for the state superintendent of
banks and his friends to derive a
substantial profit.;
Mr. Bramwell, in defense of the
intimations' that ; the letters in
question were written through sel
fish or fraudulent -motives, declar
ed that the proposal to dispose of
the unidentified bank, was approv
ed by its directors and waa pre
pared at the request of its presi
dent. Mr. Bramwell was emphat
ic in his statement that the let
ters-over bis signature contained
merely the terms of the purchase;
as outlined by the' prospective
buyer. He denied that either he
or any of his friends or associates
had entertained tW thought that
they would profit 'by the transac
tion. ''It has been the policy of the
