SALEM, OREGON
: RED CROSS DOINGS I
The Woman's Relief Corps of Sheri
dan wanted to work with the Willam
ette chapter of Salem but they were not
given this privilego as tho Willamette
chapter includes only the auxiliaries lo
cated in Marion and Polk counties. -
The Jolly Neighbors' club was organ
ized as an auxiliary this afternoon by
Mrs. F. 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. .
Decoration day is holding and all
markets are closed- Hence no market
changes are noted today.
