STATE ST.
PAVEMENT.
Being Circulated for I'M
proving the Thorough
fare.

Jacob Goldbergcr, of 1882 State
street, is circulating n petition among
tho property owners of that thorough
fare asking that it be paved with as
phalt between Smith and Washington
streets.
81 have ten signers and will tly
to get as many more as l can before
Monday night" said Mr.. Goldberger
this morning, "when | expect to lay
it before the City Council with tho
request that the work be commenced
a soon as Smith street is finished, so
that it will be really IN addition to
the street."
In speaking about the cost, Mr..
Goldberger said that most of the peo-
pie who opposed the paving had the
idea that it would cost about 1915 a
lot, but, he says, he finds that it
would cost about $25 n lot, and not
more than $28 at the most, and that
the city would give tho property
owners five years in which to pay
the amount.

THE STATE LEVY.

The state of Oregon will require to
meet expenditures during 1904 approx
imatcly sl.50a0eo. necessitating a levy
of ~ mills ON the assessed valuation of
sIso, 100000. OF the total amount re-
Qnired ssl5,oo0 is needed to meet un-
usual appropriations made by the leg
islature--S2Sae00 for the Lewis and
Clark fair. or the half of the whole ap-
Iropriation 10 be raised this year;
si65,00e for the portage railroad. $780,
one for the Cello canal and 500, 900 for
the Indian war veterans. Were 1t not
for these appropriations but $4,000
would be raised by direct taxation. and
the levy would be less than mills.
The heavy levy for 1904 will be burd-
en- on the taxpayers. but, in view of
the benefits 10 be derived. 1t can well
be borne. OF the appropriations that
OF 100000 for the Cello canal right-of-
way will net the greatest benefits. for
II will have the effect of affording the
producers of the great inland empire
an open highway to the sea. The fair
will doubtless be of preliminary bene-
fit. but the reaction may be disastrous.
However. the people of Portland are
accepting all the chance so far as per-
nlanent results are concerned, and the
rest of the state has willingly provided
them with the large sum asked for the
exposition. AS for the portage road,
it may be of some benefit, but the pro-
iect is a doubtful one. 1t is gratifying
10 know that, with all these lavish ap-
propriations, Oregon is still absolutely
free from debt, and the action of the
board in maintaining this condition Is
to be commended. There is no good
reason why a state, county or NUM-
cipal government should be constantly
menaced with a gigantic interest ac-
count, and taxpayers should at all
times be required to pay their way
We Of Astoria, who pay out in interest
almost as much as is received from
legitimate taxation. are in position to
appreeiate this. PAY as you CO. Is

people of Santo Domingo and the vote

of personal hostility to the administra-

NUMBER OF MlLLloNAlREs,

Recently Senator Depew, addressing

CniIed states, The New York Press
says that IL Senator pepew Is correct
Ia this statement, then an official Of a

banks are decidedly In error. The

" ,nillionalres in the entire world at
tl.oa. There are 1000 In the United
states and 1000 of these live In New
York city, whether they pay taxes here
or not. The financial Red Book, a
most carefully compiled publication,
gives the name OF PRACTICAL all the
persons in the United States who are
supposed to be worth more than $780,
900. And there are only $4,000 names on
the list. No claim is made that the
name of every person worth that am-
mount or more is given. but the pro-
portion OF those left out Is extremely
small, for most exhaustive investiga-
tion has been made. "There may be
few more than 1000 millionaires In
