A. Elliott. The Jolly Neighbors live on the Jefferson road. The people of the northern part of the city organized at the Chant school house. This auxiliary wilt include many who paid their dollar for membership but did not affiliate with any auxiliary, waiting until one was organized in the northern part of the city. Mrs. E. E. Fisher went to Clear Lake this afternoon to organize an auxiliary in that neighborhood and to explain the workings of the Hed Cross. While the Willamette chapter of the Red Cross includes Marion and Polk counties, the Portland chapter will in clude all those organized in Multnomah, Clackamas, Tillamook, Yamhill, Wash ington and Columbia comities. Henry Hanzen Mav Be McNarv's Private Secretary Much speculation has arisen over who will receive the job of private secretary to Senator McNftfy", 'Who lcaVeA Salem this afternoon for Washington to take up the duties of his new office. That it will go to Henry Uanzen, Salem cor respondent of the Portland Telegram, is believed certain, as Mr. Hanzen has been a close, friend of Senator McXary and managed his campaign for him when he ran for supremo judge. How ever, Senator McNary says he will not announce the name of his privale sec retary until attor he has arrived at the national capital, and has gotten on to the ropes to a certain extent. Jn addition to Mr. Hanzen, the name of George Palmer Putnam has been mentioned as a possible successful can didate. Should Mr. Putnam be selected, it is believed Mr. Hanzen would be made private secretary to the governor. THE MONTH'S WEATHER i C !..- ti..1 .Airs, xiui mature oeeiey announces j that the present membership of the Wil lamette chapter is 2,087, and that she expects within a month or go this num ber will be at least 5,000. In the organization of the Red Cross in this country, the base hospitals are established in large cities such as Den ver, Chicago or San Francisco. Then comes the chapters such as Willamette ! with two enmities or the Portland chap ter with six counties. And below the 'chapters are the auxiliaries. The aux iliaries come to tin Chapters tor worn and all work of each chapter is for warded to a base hospital, which for Salem and the northwest, happens to be San Francisco. Let 's talk about the weather, espe cially the kind we have been having during the past 31 days. The total amount of rainfall is only 1.(10 of an inch, which may be considered greatly under the normal; there has been only two really clear days, one all foggy Has Limited Sum To Be Raised to $1,500,000 - Details - Nearlv Comnteted Washington, May 31. Having deter mined on most of the basic changes in the $i,N()u,0(iu,ono war tax bill passed in the house, the senate finance com mittee today took up the publications tax. rostmaster ueneral .Burleson held a long conference with Senator Simmons, chairman of the committee, yesterdny and urged u flat increase in second class postage rates to correspond with tne increases in first class rntes. Burle son does not believe the house "zono system" of increasing tax on publica tions is fair to the publishers. He does think that a gradual increase in the second class rates from vear to vcar could be satisfactorily met with pub lishers. Tho committee has agreed to limit the sum to be raised by taxes to slight ly less than i,r)uu,U(U,OU(. As the bill now stands in committee, most of tho taxes will come from excess Profits. licpior, tobacco, special consumption and stamp taxes and increases in the income tax. Committee semtiment is strong in favor of retaining the double tax adopted by the house on distilled spirits and beers. It would act, tho com mittee believes, both as a revenue measure and as an encouragement of war prohibition. .
