OREGON WAR COSTS EXCEED SUM OF ALL STATE, CITY, ROAD, PORT, SCHOOL OR OTHER FORMS OF TAX Money Collected to Pay Possible Conflict is Suffici ent to Wipe Out Every Cent Otherwise Assessed. HY WARD A. IRVINE, On the eve of the election huro are fact of Intercut In Oregon: The federal government. In the va rious forum of war tuxes, collects from Oregon City tho current year $2K4.900. fcA-ery cent of it is for war or the re sults of war. If there were no war In the wcrld practically every tent of the um of this money could be saved. The sum Oregon C ly pay is sufficient to provide tliut city with a $100,000 courthouse, u $100,000 federal build lug and an $84,900 city hall . In the ame way the federal gov- j eminent collects from the people, of McMlnnvillc this year $1.18,350 enough to build a magnificent high school building and a handsome city i hall, with money left for other pur- poses. That sum will lie pMd by the people of Mc.Minnvifie this year and In approximate sums every year until the world gets rid of war. CorialHs DrHived or Ituiltl ng. The federal government collects from the people of Corvallls this year for war purposes $287,600, enough to build at 1 100,000 hiKh school, a $100,. 000 public hospital and an $37,600 federal building. Corvallls has long ought a federal building but cannot have It because of the cost of battle- hips and the other war bills. These I'oK harbor Improvements, the main huge sums which the three cities and tenance of the agricultural und all all other Oregon cities are paying out jo'hr federal departments and all the every year are not due solely to the i appropriations for o'her purposes. If lalo war. I!cfore tho world war each was paving out' about cven-nlnths of what It is now paying for war pur poses. In the various form of taxe to pay war bill the city of porllaii'lj pays out to the federal government this year. $12 1114.400. Multnomah county pays $13.74 000. The c ty of I'ortland pay for war bills about threo times as much as It pays for all city taves. Because the world toler ate var Portland pay out enough Ihi year on war bill to build t three splendid bridges across the Willam ette.

City and water commission officials toduy pointed out, in statements to the Kust Oregonlan, reasons why , these measures merit affirmative votes. Measure number 400 culls for al lowing the water commission to in crease the amount of script indented ness to $25,000. This measure, a mcmbor of the commission today pointed ont, extends a privilege and I not a taxation measure. It is made necessary by tho growth In the sys tem. The present script limit Is $5, 000, fixed when annual receipts of I he system did not exceed $10,000. Now, with an annual Income exceed ing $40,000, this limit Is so small that emergency repairs or extensions on streets to be paved' are Impossible without the slow, tedious process of a bond Issue. Bonds cannot bo' mark eted profitably at present, while war rants will be taken at not more than 6 per cent and may be retired month by month. To Antliorlxp Ilonil Imio. Measure number 402 asks that vot ers uuthorlzo a bond Issue of $14,000 for the p'ircliusa of a fire truck und pump. The need of such apparatus was emphasized by the state fire mar shal In tho reoent survey of Pcndlo lon. It has been petitioned for by nearly every owner of a business or business block In the city. Its need Is Imperative, Manuel Prlodly, of the fire committee of tho council, today declared. ' The truck now In use was purchas ed In 1912 and Is as good as con demned, Mr. Kricdly pointed out.

Each of them could, If-war is brought to an end by tho League of Nations, save enough money in five year to build more high schools und gram mar scnooia than cither has now. War Rills Ku-erd Sum or All. The entire taxes, stain, city, school special school, port, road and all er foi inn of luxe collected in the state of Oregon this . year is about $32,000, 000. To pay war bills, the federal gov ernment collects from the people of Oregon this year In the various forms of waY taxes, $39 164.2-10. The sum It over $7,000 000 more than is collected by the state for all other purposess. It Is sufficient to build almost twice us I many paved roads as have liecn built 111 this state In the great road cam paign cf the past rive or six years. If war Is abolished 'by the league of Na tion, the amount I hat the people will have lo pa for public purposes will be reduced to less than half the pres ent amounls. If there were no war In the world, the money that would be I saved would be sufficient lo wipe out all state, city, school, road, port and other forms of taxes now collected by the stale and tax districts within the state. Before the late war $71 out of every $100 collected by the federal govern ment went to pay war bll's. Slii'-e the war, $92.23 out 'of every $100 collocted goes to pay war bills. Only $7.17 so collected goes to the payment of all father expenses of government. Includ war Is abol'shed by the league. It is estimated that the expense of conduct ing the federal government would be about one tenth the present amount. The amount that the federal govern meat collects this year from various count'es In Oregon to pay war bills is as follows: Yamhill $1.026.450. Paker $396 450, Harney $189 00, Sherman $199 600. Lane $1,303,300, Douglas $1,060,600, Coin $1 112.S50, Clacka mas $1,334,900. Marlon $2 355 850 Clatsop $1,151 EO0. Eenton $687,200. lii'invt; oims ox harding .4 CI.FrVKI.ANI. Ohio, Nov. I. ft'. P.)

(Special. ) A presidential poll taken among 31,500 disabled soldiers in five reconstruction hospital In Cal ifornia resulted in a vote of 29,500 for Cox and 2.000 for Harding. That Is the report brought to Portland yesterday by a former service man who had himself been In one of the government hospitals in tho south. The young man lost three brothers In the war. He declared that the crippled soldiers' vo'e for Cox Is because of the Ohio governor's stand for the League of Nation and against war. There are 33,000 mutilated soldiers in the California hospitals, he says, and they are nearly a umt in the.r oppostion to war. The vote for Cox. the soldier declares, is the voice of thoee who tasted the bitter fruli of war on the bloody fields of Franco. "Vote for Governor James M. Cox and The League" Is the appeal from 'The Cox-Roosevcit Club" at the large government hospital lo cated at Arrowhead Hot Springs, Calif. The veterans ha've a consoll dated club made up of followers of every political faith, who through mutual consent have combined In an appeal to the voter of the state to stand with them and the Gold Star Mothers of America who have endorsed Governor James M. Cox and "The League" and ask that each voter place aside party affiliations and go hand In hand wih them to the polls on November 2nd and cast their vote for "The league" that their work will be completed and that their EIGHTY THOUSAND crirade will have not died in vain. The Arrowhead Club is made up , of men representing most every state in the L'nlon and hailing from every division which served In France, Germany and Siberia. Two of their number since they oreanlzed the cluL have passed to their Maker from effect of their waf .wjjunds. , In view of the great and solemn referendum In which the people of America are to tate part tomorrow this newspaper commends the sen'.knents of the above named disabled service men to the conscience and the hearts of the voters of Umatilla county. It la also appropriate to recall that Governor Cox courageously stands ror affirmation of the great war principles of the nation, advocate Joining the League of Na tions and keeping the promises made to our allies and our dead, whereas ; Senator Harding has cast aspersions upon some of our most chershed war slogans, voted for a separate peace with Germany, has publicly advocated a separate peace during this campaign and talks vehement ly of "scrapping" the League of Nations despite the fact that as a senator he sanctioned President Wilson' action in making tho forma tion of such a league one of America's chief aims during tlje great world struggle. On this the eve o a presidential election which is held to involve vindication or repudiation of the country's war policies and of those who died there are no words more fitting than those immortal line by a sol dier who later fell on F"LANDER3 FIELD In, Flanders fields the poppies blow I'etween the crosses, row on row. That mark our place; and in the sky The larks still 'bravely singing fly. Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the dead: short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, '. " Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe. To you fVom falling hands we throw .The torch: be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. COIJNEL JOHN JlcP.AS. ANY ANTI-JAPANESE LAW MUST BE JUST) WASHINGTON, Nov. 1. (A.'P.)

STRAIN What the result of the election of tomorrow Is to be Almighty God alone knows. But standing out above and beyond all mystery la the fact that now is the phychhological moment to strike a decisive blow for an interna tional peace of Justice. Jtoe a Party goarrel The Issue to be passed upon tomor row Is not a mere quarrel between riv al political parties. It Is an Issue pro jected upon us by Jhe terrible world war, and theje is embraced In this 'ssue the entire fruits of that war. The fruits for which the awful price of ten million soldiers lives was paid for which fifteen million other boys -were wounded in battle, and for which a price of 33 billion dollars was paid n money and destruction of property. These frightful losses were fresh in the minds of the diplomats who drew up the League of Nations. And the very spot where they deliberated upon 'is t'rms was calculated to inspire , their souls with the awe of God's vengeance. The city, of Versailles Is situated near the battle zone end the crnwes marking the newly mad graves of the dead stretched on and oa ahout and beyond this qlty In all but countless numbers. The Major Issue . The covenant of the League of Na- t'ons there made under these circum stances has come to be by common consent the major issue of this cam paign. And there Is embraced In this League and the Treaty of Peace the entire fruits of the terrible world war.' The objects which they sought are clearly stated In the League's pre amble. Here Is It: league Preamble - In order1 to promote International co-operational peace and security hy the acceptance of obligation not to resort to war; by the prescription ot open. Just and honorable relations be tween nations: by the firm establish ment of the understandings of inter national law as the actual rule of con duct amotur governments, and by the maintenance of justice and a scrup. ulous, respect for all treaty obligation ir. the dealings of organised peoples with one another, agree to this cove nant and League of Nations. For us to accept these purposes of the League ar d to achieve them would be to life mankind up out of the age old oppressions and sorrows of tho I st Into that- new and golden era, proposed by the Prince of Peace. In the presence of this opportunity I is astounding that men of Intelli gence' would allow their political bias to blind them and to arouse the evil passions of their nature. The cry thwt President Wilson won his second election through having kept us out of the war is a pitiful ex cuse for rejecting the League. Wilson Kept Faith lresHlent Wilson did keep us out of the war until much of the war's fury had been spent. Dot when the Kaiser announced his policy of unlimited submarine attack, there was. In the opinion of the nation, no alternative but to fight. Neither could a big souled man in his right mind find It In his heart to t.ick the president or congress on the score of the cost to us of the war. (Continued en page J.)
