Demand in- that the legislature nt Its com in aneclal session repeal the action of the last session In giving to the state board or control the power to fix salaries of executive heads of the stntw departments. Sunrise Grange, of Turner, in resolutions passed at their regular meeting Saturday icores Governor Olcott and Secretory ,.f stale Kozor as the majority mem bers of the board of control for their tctlon In voting Increasr-d salaries to tale officials under the provisions oi the act. The resolution reads as follows. "U'herens. there was enacted by the legislative assembly of 1921. an amendment to section ZB1J. uregon Laws, readlwr In part as follows: The annual salaries or tne several xectitlve heads shall be llxen ann letermlned by the board' I Oregon state hoard of control), and Whereas, the said board or con trol, rir rather the governor ana sec retary of stato. constituting a ma Inrtiv thereof, have In numerous In stances raised salaries under the au thority conferred by this taw, ann "Wherens. the power ronrorren o It. .mnntimi.nl U SUSCePtlble tO ahnae. unfair discrimination, ann erinlH the Inlorllon or poimi-a uu he ! ministration nf state govern ment and the selection of employes, ind otwrntes nenlnst economy and efficiency, now therefore be It "llesolverl. that this orgnnliatlon expresses Its disapproval of ssld amendment and the action of said board of control thereunder; and be 't further . , Rpsolved. that we recommend to the special session of the legislature 1 nf that part of snld A lively meeting Is expected on December 22, when the taxpayers league and county court meet to con sider the adoption of the 1922 coun ty budget. - It Is expected that there will be a large number of people pres ent and some Interesting develop ments are expected. One fight is apt to develop over the County Agent and County Fruit Inspector. The plan of coordinating the two offices has been advanced and It Is believed Is acceptable to the county court and present indications are that the court will increase the appropriation to meet the desires of the league. There Is, however, expected to be some sen timent favoring the abolishment of both offices and if this opposition matief lalizes Into definite representa tion at the meeting, a lively tight is expected as there Is a strong sentl nient favoring the retention ot these officials. The local opposition has been strengthened somewhat by the action of taxpayers leagues In several other counties where the abolishment of the county agent's office has been accomplished. Whether or not this opposition, however, Is strong enough to take any definite action Is not known and It may be that It will not even be represented officially at the meeting. The most lively fight is expected to develop over the county health nurse. There Is considerable oppo sition to the county making an appro priation to continue this wont. The county has set aside the sum of $2 r.00 in the 1922 budget for this work but It Is understood that the Red Cross Is to assume part of this amount and that an amount equiva lent to the sum donated by the Red Cross will be turned back to tne gen eral fund. There are Borne who de sire to see this appropriation discon tinued entirely while there' is a strong sentiment also In favor of the continuance of health nurse. It Is expected that the move to re tain the health nurse will be hoaded by parent teacher associations ot the various schools of the county, anu if the organizations stand behind the mattor firmly It Is expected that the work will be continued as the county court Is known to favor this project. The fight over the school supervis or svstom will also be resumed It Is thought This fight was first brought to the attention of the people of the ronntv. when the taxpayers league omleavnred to recall the supervisors This was attempted through a vote of the Bchool directors of the county and failed by a large margin, ii of the directors refusing to vote on the matter. At the taxpnyers league meeting an effort was made to pass a resolu tion ur-rlng the special session of the egtslature to change the law ao that the mmter of retaining the school supervision might be put to a vote of the people. This resolution met a strong opposition, the forces favor ing the resolution being led br Ben Nichols and C. E. Banning, while the opposition was supported by Fred A. tjorr and Goorge Bacon. One side held that the supervisors are a useless expense and that they do little good in the schools. It was claimed that thoy pay too much at tention to the non-essentials and not enough to the fundamentals of edu cation. The other side maintained the school supervisors to be a great aid, and stated that the Incidents nuoted by those favoring the resolu tion were cases In which it was the duty of the local school board to act and not the school supervisors. A movement was started to abolish the supervisors and increase the pay of the countv superintendent. It was shown that several clorks In the court -house receive more pay than the superintendent. Several other matters will probably he brought up for consideration al though there Is little opposition to anr of the other Items on the budget. The matters mentioned have been referred to various committees of the league and these committees are now framing reports. A meeting of all the committees will be held on Dec. 21 at which time the reports will be adopted and a general policy outlln d for the league. On the morning of December 22. the court will meet the taxpayers league and all other interested in the budget and will re ceive any recommendations which may be made. o Fishermen Defy Laws and Warden County Clerks Exchange Budgets County Clerk I. B. Riddle hat ntartod a practice or excnanginsj prluted budgets with other counties, and the plan has met response from a number of clorks wno eir themselves well pleased with the Idoa. Forms ot printing greatly dif fer and there seems to be much con fusion over the new low. In one county no emergency fund wss cre ated In the budget and It was not properly printed, a technicality which Is apt to cause some trouble. The county clerks with whom Mr. Riddle has exchanged copies of the budget stato that thoy have received several new Ideas as a result of the newly started practice and they state that they hone It will be eon tintred in the future. The manner In which the budgot for this county ,... nrtnterl has resulted in much praise, as It Is more comprehensive than practically any of the othere and at the same time meeU all the requirements of the law.
