Mr. Smith pointed out. About 1 5 .000 of this sum comes direct as Marion county's share of the one-mill levy, and about 120,00ft-comes to the county as the distributive share from Mult nomah county. Since under the tax levy no county can receive over 1 percent of the 1 entire levy, Multnomah gets only1 $112. 000 of the $280,000 which the -one mill produces from that county. Tb rest is distributed among the other counties Mar lon county, getting about $20, C00 from the Multnomah "run ver. 1 !- -I The $120.00?; received In Mar ton county for road use .through Its allotment of a third of the li cense money collected in j the county, is used this year for the first time to pay off market road bonds, 8mlth pointed out, thus relieving the . county taxpayers from levy to meet this cost. ; GABBLE HIES OVER PROHIBITION -intervened brought a thirty word statement of ! denial from Chair man Wickersham.

Can't' Legislate ; Fish Up River ! 5 George . D. Chenoweth, who quoted the scriptures and assail ed the proponents of the measure as demanding the legislature to do what the people of Oregon re fused to do by defeating the measure at the general election by 3,000 votes, received the only demonstration of the evening, when he declared "you cannot legislate fish np the river."

Matter Beats With District Resident !:.f. SupL Fulkerson adrocatea the change, which of course rests en tirely with the residents of the district, because she says in a few years the tiny children in that section will be j entering school and will find It hard to go up the hill which it is now nec essary to. climb to reach the school. In the past some children hare gone instead to the Oakdal school on account of the steep hill. ii..-;. . v. j :-...!

Mrs. Fulkerson says she does not know whether the district will bring the matter to a vote to see if the change should be made feefore school! opens next fall,' but in any event) she be lieves the strongest argument against the change will simply be "that the school has been its present site alarce time immemor- iai." , ACTS FACE flic I (Continued from !page 1) mal school.
