We are this week reproducing in full the Clackamas County Budget for the year litlH, believ ing that this is o f so much impor tance to the taxpayers of this portion of the county, that it should be brought to their atten tion, in other than the manners required by law’. The N ew s has gone to consid erable ext ra expense in reproduc ing this matter, but thanks to County Judge Anderson, part o f the expense was defrayed by the county court, which arranged with tl|e Oregon City enterprise to furnish us with the linotype for printing. The law requires that this Bud get la* presented to the taxpayers by advertising same in the official county newspapers, but as that method o f publicity far from as sures the taxpayers o f Rastern Clackamas County from seeing it, the News agreed to g iv e it front page free publicity. This hi dgel should be read and studied by every citizen and es pecially by e v e r y taxpayer. It is the duty df a taxp a.er to familiarize himself or herself with the county’ s expenditure o f their tax money and as this bud get is subject to acceptance by a vote ot the taxpayers ai the an nual meeting December 22nd, every tax pap« r should decide in advance what items he or she fa- vms or w hat appropriations he o r she believes are unnecessary. Fully one half o f the fault finding with the expenditures o f tax money and the complaints against high taxes are due to the average citizen not familiarizing himself with the budget an«l ex- eicising his right to accept or re- l«*ct its appropriations. * So r«*a«l this budget carefully and then plan to join the Eastern C.ackamas taxpayers delegation December 22nd, which will at tend the annual budget meeting in Oregon City and look out for the interests o f the home section. • • . Kvery man registered under the draft law who has changed his residence or jiostottice address should immediately, without fail, ; notify his local tioard o f his pres-* • ent address so that he will re ceive the Questionnaire be is re quired to till out under the new draft Regulations. This applies to all registered men, even those previously ex empted or discharged. All prev ious exemptions and discharges from the draft are automatically revoked on December 15. The Questionnaires will begin to he sent to registered men on December 15. Each man will have seven days in which to till out answers to the many ques tions asked and return the Ques tionnaire to his local board. Failure to answer the Question naire and return it to the board within this seven-day limit will endanger a man’s right to claim exemption, regardless o f whether he did not receive the Question naire. Hence it is urgent that every registered man whose address has been changed should, for his own protection, at once notify his local board o f his change in address. So important is this matter considered by Provost Marshal General Crowder, at Washington, D. C,, that he has issued the fol lowing instructions relative to g ivin g it full publicity: “ Please cause the broadest and most extensive and continuous publicity to be given through the Adjutant General, local and dis trict boards, the newspapers and by all other possible means o f warning to all registrants who may have changed their places o f abode and postoffice address to communicate immediately with their local boards where they are registered, and furnish their present addresses so that Ques tionnaires, which will begin to he mailed December 15, will reach such registrants without delay. “ Registrants are hound by law to keep themselves advised o f all proceedings in respect o f them, and failure to do so may result in their losing right to claim e x emption or discharge.” W e Strive To Please Our ih 4 < i ? » > prices are kept as low as can he made and our service the best I ) > we know how to give. < We can get cheaper merchan dise I do not believe sacrificing quality for quantity— but but • we try in to live up to our motto “ The Best Is None Too Good For You” L.

Mr. Eschleman’ s resigna tion was due to the added work entailed by the addition o f the View building, with the salary not in proportion to the extra w«>rk required.
