To Complete the Budget Tonight;
Proposed City Tax is l5.5 Mills

As stated in Saturdays Capital
Journal, the city council held a special
meeting Friday evening for the pur.
pose Of perfecting the budget for 1914.
Owing TO the loss Of revenues in the
sum Of $4,000 on account Of the city
going dry, and saloon licenses no long
er adding to the city's income, IL be.
came necessary not only to retrench,
but apparently to increase the tax levy,
and II was provided in making up the
budget, for raise Of 81 mills over
1918. The levy in 1919 was ll.s mills,
and that proposed for 1914 is 1873
mills.
The assessed valuation Of Salem for
the year 1919 was $12,194,OOO and the
tax on this al ll.s mills amounted to,
in round numbers, s143,9OO. The loss
Of saloon and liquor licenses amounts
to $4,000, and the amount that Il is
proposed to raise by the additional 81
mills tax, the assessed valuation being
the same as in 1912, is $4,000.
When the matter came up Friday
night Councilman Turner in forceful
speech, called attention TO the neces-
sity Of economy, TO the fact that the
city taxes were already high, and that
the interests Of the city demanded that
the rate be kept low, for a high rate
prevented people locating here. His
argument evidently caused some think
ing, for, on motion, tho final action on
the budget was postponed until TO-

Equipment, Blamed.

San Diego, Cal, Nov 2i.-''I blame
the equipment at the army aviation
school at North Island for the deaths
today of the two aviators, Kelly and
Ellington. Without sufficient appro-
priation for aviation work from con-.
gress, the aeroplanes in use at the school
have deteriorated so that now there are
six or eight Of them so old and unsafe

that are forced TO fly under these con
difions that would feel for nauto

suicide to attempt any kind Of flights
at all. The army would not send it's
men into battle with old antiquated,
cracked and rusty guns, but it is e&.
pected that those who are trying TO pro

their lives simply because our congress
men refuse TO allow a small sum Of
money every year for aviation work.
"There are no proper facilities pro.

Many Cards are
Held in Office
People Still Mail Tinseled Cards with.
out Proper Envelope Being
Placed on Them.

It would be interesting to know how
much woe is occasioned by matter i'm
properly mailed at postoffices which
never reaches its destination. Postmas-
ter Huchestein today told The Capital
Journal Of over q score Of tinseled cards
which had been mailed here as Thanks
giving greetings to friends or relatives
and which, according to the government
rules, cannot leave the local office.
Some have transparent envelopes on
them and some have not. The rules
require that the cards shall be enclosed
in regulation heavy envelope and
postage Of two cents affixed.
Inasmuch as many cards will be mail
ed during the coming holidays, people
should be careful to SEQ that the post
office regulations are complied with,
Return Card Needed.
The postoffice department plans to
require hereafter that all parcels post
packages shall have the return address
on them. This will make it possible to
return the package to the sender in
case the party to whom the package is
mailed cannot be found.
The postoffice business here Of late
has been growing rapidly, especially the
parcels post department. This increase
of business is due to tho carly Christ
mas shopping and mailing idea. Many
packages are mailed with request on
them to leave them unopened until

Claim of His Family That He
Was Accidentally Killed
Is Disputed.
MANY RUMoRs AT TIME
One Report Said He Was Neither
Killed in His own Home Nor by
His Own Hand.

Chicago, Nov. 24.--The police here
denied today having received tele-
gram or any other "official advices"
concerning the story said to have been
told by Mrs. Vera Scott at Los Angeles,
in which she was quoted as claiming to
have killed Marshall Field, Jr, in Chi.
cago several years ago. So they were
doing no investigating, they explained.
Immediately following Fields death,
Police Lieutenant Enright made an Of
ficial report in which he declared Field
was the victim Of an accident. The
story given out by Field 5 family and
by the police was that, as he was pre-
pairing for q hunting trip, Field acci-
dentally dropped an automatic pistol,
which went off, fatally wounding him.
The alleged mishap was said to have oc-
Cured in his own home.
There were many rumors Of another
character, however, to the effect that
Field was neither killed at his own
home, as the result Of an accident, nor
by his own hand, The Field family
had, of course, tremendous influence,
and all these accounts were suppressed,
in Chicago, at any rate.

Cost Greatly Increased.

President Willard was the spokesman
for the 40 eastern roads. He pleaded
advanced costs as the reason for ask
ing for increased rates. He declared
that arbitration and mediation had
boosted the salaries Of employees, and
that safety and labor laws had in
creased expenses enormously.
Willard declared that the roads af-
fected earned $16,311, 900 less for the
year ending June 30, last, than for the
year ended June 80, 1910. As asresult
of diminishing returns Willard said the
normal development Of the railroads
facilities was checked
Delano, who spoke for the lines east
of the Mississippi and west Of Pittsburg
and Buffalo, declared that the pros
perity and development Of the entire
territory would be jeOpardized If the
commission did not grant the roads

their rates.
