Multnornah
Tax Board
He'd Legal
supreme Court Says
publication of Levy
Estimates Superced-
ed by Statute

The existence OF a tax super
,,sion and conservation commits
zion in Multnomah county obvi-
stes the necessity for publication
!, tbe tax estimates of the various
,ax leyying bodies coming under
tbe jurisdiction OF that commits
sion, involving an aggregate ex-
r.rditure of approximately
$4,000.
such is the contention of the
Oregon supreme court which, in
an opinion written by Chief JUS
tica Burnett, handed down this
morning affirming the decree OF
Judge John McCourt of the Multi
nomah county circuit court, and
unfolding the validity Of the act
Of the last legislature creating the
tax supervision and conservation
commission for counties of more
than 1000, 900 population.
The opinion is based on an ap-
neal from the decree of the lower
court In a friendly suit brought
by Abe Tichener, a taxpayer of
Portland, to enjoin the city from
incurring the expense involved
In the publication Of its tax
budget estimates as provided in
the local budget law, and to COM
pel compliance with the law
creating the tax supervision and
conservation commission.
"The legislative assembly has
rightly prescribed a method Of
procedure applicable to all coun-
ties whether many or few, or only
one, containing one hundred thou
sand or more inhabitants whether
now or hereafter, and this is a
general law exclusive of all other
statutes in the cases to which it is
splpicable," the opinion concludes.
Briefly speaking" the opinion
reads referring to the existence
Of two budget laws ON the statute
books, "the situation is one tanta-
mount to where the local budget
act would contain within itself a
proviso in the terms of the su-
pervising and conservation COM
mission act"

Religious Hate Cause.

( London, Aug. 29.-Reports to-
day from the revolutionary area
OF Malabar, British India. indicat-
ing that British troops and caval-
.ry had arrived there, tended to
confirm the belief iu ondon that
the uprising would be confined tS
this area, although none here
would deny the seriousness Of Jhs
situation or its potentialities fol
Spreading.
The trouble in :falabar ariees
1t is stated, primarily from relig-
ious fanaticlsm and from the in
tense hatred of the Aoplahs, OF
Mohammedans OF Arab deseer.. FOR
Europeans aud Iifndus.
OF political and home rule they
know nothing as they virtually are
barbarians, but the religious torch
will always stir them to Hood
shed. Self-torturs is not uncon-
mon among the Eoplahs in the
hope they will thus arrive In heav-
en- and they believe that death en-
the battlefield Is the snr0 road to
a happy hereafter.
Close observers here in Indian
affairs express the belief that the
uprising also is in part due to the
widespread propaganda of the ma
tive Indian nationalists. To this
agitation has been added reports
Of great wrong done Turkey and
the Caliphate treaty of Sevres.
The situation for isolated Euro
peans and Hindus in the MalabaI
region is grave, as the Moplahs in
the past have halted at nothing in
their frenzied hatred. At the time

GOOD HIGHWAYS IN JAMAICA
Island in British West Indies Is Awak.
ening to a Realization Of
Improved Roads.

The island of Jamaica. in the Brit
ish West Indies. rich in natural re-
sources and active in trade. Is awak-
ening to II realization OF the import
ance Of good roads. The advent Of
the automobile has had much to do
in the development of an agitation
which now promises valuable results
The system of modern highways
which 1t is proposed to build will
mean the speedy development of parts
OF the island now more or less neg
lected because OF their practical in
accessibility. Completion Of a radlal
system OF good roads would undoubt-
edly be followed by general adop-
tion Of the motortruck for conveying
the products to the sea. The in
creased speed and efficiency thus ac-
quired would tend to promote larger
production. and thereby increase the
wealth Of this already Industrious Is
land.

GRAIN RATION FOR PIGEONS
Good Mixture May Be Made by Using
Corn, Wheat, Peas and Vetch-
Peanuts Are Good.

Many varieties OF grains are used
in feeding pigeons. A good mixture
may be made of equal parts by weight
of small whole corn. hard, dry wheat,
peas and vetch, with small quantity
(abOut five per cent each) of hemp
and millet seeds added during the molt-
ing period.
Other grains which may be substI-
tuted for or added to these are pea
nuts. dried garden peas. cowpeas,
clipped oats or hulled oats. buckwheat,
Egyptian corn. and milo maize. while
small quantity OF stale bread. rice.
rape. millet. canary or sunfower seed
may be fed for variety.
Peas are expensive. but seem to be
essential to the best results, espe-
cially during the breeding season.
Peanuts. cowpeas and dried garden
peas give quite good results and some
times are used In place of field peas
when the latter are high In price. Soy
beans do not seem to be SO we'll liked
by pigeons.
Tender green feed. such as freshly
cut clover, alfalfa and chard, lettuce,
plantain leaves and chlckweed may
be fed, but Is not essential.
