UNITED STATES
TRADE OUTLOOK
IN 1920 BRIGHT.
Secretary OF Commerce Says
Return OF Normal Con-
Gtions To Create Business
Greater Than That OF 1919.
(Associated Press Leaaed wirel

Washington, Jan. 1.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press. )--Secretary Alexander,
of the department of commerce, has
summed up the commercial outlook
for 1920 as follows:
THE closing year witnessed fabu-
Ious growth Of American foreign COM
merce. Our trade balance for 1919 will
be approximately four billions A great
fleet of merchant ships, new indus
tries, new sources of supply and in
creased knowledge of our own re-
sources, are some of the assets gained
from our war experience. Before the
war we were engaged for the most
part in the development of our own
business with little serious thought of
extension of our activities into world
markets, and we were Indifferent as
regards our position inferiority on the
high seas. Today we are awake as
never before. The pride of ante-beIlum
days is revived and we look to see our
flag at the masthead of an American
ship in every important seaport of the
world, carrying American goods when
ever markets may be found.
Grave Problems Pend.
Abnormal conditions, we hope, are
passing. The tremendous increase in
the exports of the war period, made
up largely of military supplies and the
sun greater exports of the months fol-
lowing the war, in which foodstuffs
figured largely, may not continue IN
definitely These tremendous figures
have brought satisfaction to all. bu,
give grave concern to those who look
forward to 1920. The exchange stu
alton in Europe has been grave
problem and is so uncomfortable for
foreign buyers as to necessitate in some
cases government restriction on buy-
ing. If we would continue our foreign
trade at its present high level there
must be freer and fuller exchange or
commodities and large extension of
= credit to European buyers. So LET rs
TOOK FOR a condition In which buying
and selling will be of profit TO both
sides. On that basis we NAV built q
commercial structure on firm found
alton.
Progress Satisfactory.
1t Is too much to expect normal
conditions. for which we all are So i'm
patient, should come within the "a
months since the signing of the armis-
tice. The wonder is that the situation
~ not more unsettled. Let us hope
tl'at IN the year 1920 there will be less
soclal unrest, that production will IN
creases and living costs be gradually
reduced and that by intelligent coon
efation and unselfish regard for the
puplle welfare our national prosperitv
may continue"

TICKET SCALPERS
TAKE ADVANTAGE
OF SEAT SCARCITY
ASSOCIATED Press Leased wire)

| Pasadena, Cal, Jan. 1.-(Early
Harvard Oregon Picking the win
ner in advance of the game was fa-
vorite pursuit here today, the game be-
ing the Harvard-O Oregon gridiron
clash of Tournament Park this after
noon. For the 30,069 lucky holders oil
seats at the east versus west classic,
doping out" the winner before the
battle apparently was just as fascinat-
ing as to the $4,000 or more would be
spectators barred by lack of grand
stand space from actually seeing the
dope worked out
Backers for both teams, morally and
financially. were plentiful. Some saw
in the marked shift in the weather
from warm to cool, certain augury of
Harvards success.
Both Teams Out Early.
Oregon supporters countered with
the assertion that the lemon-yellow
players are just as much accustomed
to cool weather as the fasteners and
will benefit as much by today's ,-n.-
lperature.
Both teams were UP and around
early today but with little to do except
don their fighting clothes in readiness
for the referees whistle at 2;30 o'clock
this afternoon. All possible to be done
in the way of preparation has been
compelled and everything was in read
mess for the big "blow off"
Pasteboard profiteers, alias ticke,
scalpers, were un and around early
too. although ssteir activities wcrc
somewhat checked by the rapid de-
pletion of their wares and the vigil
ance of federal agents watching for
the government tax. Prevailing prices
last night were s1250 for $3.50 tickets
and $40 for the SO variety. All of
these today were believed to have been
sold, however, and $40. s25 or even
$50 for the choicest seats were de-
laanded this morning by some.
"My men are right physically and
said Coach Fisher of Har-
ward just before the game. "If we fail
to win there can be no alibi There is
much at stake and every man on the
team is eager to do his best"
Oregon has its chance and is un-
AFRAID were Coach Huntington's s
words. I'VE are physically fit and
ready to give all we have to win. We
known Harvards strength but are no,
worried We will fight to a finish and
do the best we can. If we lose it will
be because we met a better team"
Warming by the police that bogus
tickets closely resembling the genuine
article had been printed in Los An
geles and that attempts would be made
TO sell them kept many prospective
buyers from taking chances with the
scalpers.

Facing a gigantic road building pro-
gram, calling for the expenditure of a
half million dollars, the laying of
from IS to 20 miles of hard surface
pavement, the grading and graveling
of approximately so miles of roads, the
employment of probably 400 men, the
erection of two new bridges, all with

of the county.
According to present plans, from IS
to 20 miles of hard surface will be
laid in the county next year, on the
principal highways. Contracts for the
paving of six miles next season from
jefferson north toward Salem and four
miles on the Pacific highway north of
Salem, which will make a complete
hard surface highway between Salem
and Aurora, have already been let. A
contract for the remaining nine miles
between jefferson and Salem is pend
ing, and in all probability will be let
soon that this stretch of the road may
be paved next season.
New Bridge to Rise.

TWO TAX LENES
NEEDED TO MEET
COUNTY BUDGET

The Marion county court found
that it had to deal with three phase
problem when the annual levy came
up Wednesday for consideration be-
lore the county commissioners, Judge
W. M. Bushey, ]. T. Hunt and w. H.
Gouley. Whether to pare the origin
al estimate, or to carry it in two lev
les were the main problems. A third
question is the legality of the extra
levy
The county budget as adopted by
the court after a late hour session
wednesday night, provides for two
tax levies, the regular 1920 item
which includes the full per cent
excess over the 1919 levy and is ST.
2hO,O 600. The extra levy is for S4S,-
623.2S. This special levy takes care of
extra expenditures made necessary by
requirements approved by the 1919
legislature.
Legislation Causes Increase
Legislative enactments which made
additional expenditure necessary are:
Approval of measure increasing
the school purpose appropriation to
$131,610 which is $25,470.OS in ex-
cess of that otherwise provided TN
der the 6 per cent limitation,
Under the high school tuition fund
law requirement of $30,207 is made,
which is S12,S01.20 in excess of the
$17,46S.S0 allowed by the 8 per cent
limitation.
A $4,000 armory was authorized
for Silverton for which no fund was
y1tpt-iEnI NV l1
Marion county is required to make
up deficits amounting to sS52 in two
school districts, which further in
creases the total deficit
Second Levy Explained
In brief, the 1919 legislature made
provisions for expenditures demanded
by public requirements without CIV
ing authority to include these items
in the various county budgets. The
per cent tax Limitation as a consti-
tutonal amendment further compli-
Gates the situation by making illegal
any item in addition to the percent
excess permitted. BY making the
special levy covering the total excess
es, the county court hopes to get by
without treading on anyone's corns,
1t is understood that the county
courts order authorizing these levies
will be made Immediately and that
county officials in whose care these
funds are placed may then proceed
to make the necessary disbursements.
As to the legality of the entire matter.
the county court makes no claim that
the proceeding is legal, but has author
ized Max Gehlhar to invite litigation
from any taxpayer who desires to test
the case in the supreme court.
In authorizing the various budget
items the county commissioners have
held to the viewpoint that every reg
ular' fund is entitled to full allow
anee up to the per cent limitation.
Big Increase Noted
Not pertaining especially to the
present levies, but of general interest
to taxpayers is the amount of the
county's state tax for 1890, which is
S1S4.0SS.20 as compared with the
1919 item of s12S,1aS.6o. For 1920
the regular state tax allowing a 6
per cent. increase over last year is
s134.26s.9S. There are also the
of $4l,52l.02 under the
Pierce market road bill to co-fund
with a like amount from the state, an
aid act for soldiers re
quires sS3e4so. The two items last
do not come under the 8
percent Limitation because OF their
