AUTOMATIC SCALE IS HOPE Executive Would Do Away With "Patronage" Legislation Giving "Fat" Remuneration to Some and Neglecting Others. SALEM. Or May 20. (Special.) A bill to make salaries In every county of the atate on a more equal basis than under the prssent system, and provide foi an automatlo adjustment every two or four yeara when a new apportion ment la made. Is being; worked out by Governor West, I The system will be prepared care fully, and will be submitted to mem bers of the Legislature before January so that each one will have an oppor tunity to study whatever incrlta or de merits It may have. "Salarlee to county officials through out the state," said tha Governor to night, "are made without relation to each, other. One county, for instance, may pay Ita County Judge ll'iO. while another county may pay Ita Judge tliluo. though tbe counties may not vary any or but little in their respec tive populations, area or assessed valu ation of property. Again, a County Clerk may be getting more salary than a County Judge or another efflclul may be drawing more than a County Clerk. There should be a uniform basis for salaries. t'rteaaa Brlag la Bills. "Whenever tha Legislature convenes, friends of aome ofm-iala In a county, who are elected, come In with billa to boost these officials' salaries. Officials without friends In the Legislature do not get any of the raises. A score of bills to raise salaries was Introduced at the last Legislature but 1 vetoed th- ni all. "Salaries ahould be equalised and re duced by aome syntem. What' I pro pose to do Is this: I will prepare a statement showing the salaries of each county official In every county In the state. These statementa for each county will then be aubmltted to Grangea and other organlxatlona as well' as prominent Individuals tn each county, and they Will be asked to re turn to me an eatlmate of what they think their county should pay out in salaries. Out of all that are sub mitted, an average will be struck for each county and a total aecured for the atate. For example, aay that after all these figures have been returned It la found that 150.000 is required to pay all county officials. This will be sub mitted to tbe Tax Commission, and it will be determined what amcAint of assessment will be necessary to raise this amount. Tha preaent total valua tion of tha atate la I900.000.0ui). so that 1-10 of t per rent will be sufficient to aecure the H&O.OOO necessary. Share Be Apportioned. "Each county will then be appor tioned a share of thla total according; to area, population and assessed valua tion. Multnomah, for Inatance, though small In area, la much larger In popula tion and assessed valuation than any of the other counties, and consequently would be entitled tn a larger part for the salaries of ita officials. "As the atate grows, a new appor tionment of the atate would automati cally adjust tbe salaries of the county ofUdala, If In any county there haa been no Increase In population or In aaaessed valuation, thla county, conse quently, could not share tn the benefits accruing; to other countlea from their growth along. theae lines."
