Largely Reduced.
BIG CUT MADE IN SALARIES

number of changes are made In the sala

will receive only $1200 next term Instead
of $1SOO. and the Mayor's salary next term

is required to establish a standard sys

counts, and every officer of the county
Is required, under oath, to lile with him
Itemized statements of his accounts each

of great value in keeping down the ex

O ourt. Clerk of the Circuit Court, and
Recorder of Conveyances will reduce the
tost of these three departments not less
than 510,000 per year. The salary of the
Incumbent of these offices now is $3500
each, per year. Two of these are cut off
"by the consolidation act. and the salary
of the County Clerk, who is to perform the
duties, now attended to by the three of
ficials, is fixed at J2500. beginning with
July, 1902. This will effect a saving of
$8000, and the reduction in deputies' sal
aries will make up the remainder.
Three deputies are provided for at a
salary of $100 ench ner month. These
are to serve as chief deputies, one each
in the Circuit Court, recording depart
ment and County Clerk's office. Five
other deputies, one of whom shall be an
efficient stenographer, are provided for at
a salary of J75 each per month, and ad
ditional deputies by order of the County
Court, whose compensation shall not ex
ceed $2 50 per day. Concerning the duties
of the office, the bill provides: "Each of
such deputies shall, before entering upon
the duties of his office, take the same
oath of office taken by his principal, and
such oath shall be indorsed on the writ
ing by which he shall be appointed, and
shall be filed with the County Clerk and
be a public record. Each such deputy
shall be continuously employed in the dis
charge of his duties of his office for at
least eight hours of each judicial day,
and may be directed and required to do
and perform any work or duty pertaining
to the office of the clerk, and either of
such deputies may be and serve as crier
of the Circuit or County Court for saw

but no additional compensation snail oe
allowed or paid to any such deputy for

ordered, but the persons called must be

unless the persons summoned live more
than two miles from the Courthouse,
they will not receive fees, thus doing

The County Auditor's act makes a small
reduction in salary. The Auditor will be
elected at the election in June. 1902. In
the meantime, the present Auditor, "W. H.
Pope, will remain ln office. The purpose
of the bill is to make the Auditor inde
pendent of the County Court or Commis
sioners by whom, under the present law,
he was appointed, so that he may be the
Auditor in fact as well as in name. He
is Invested with" additional powers relat
ing to the examination and approval of
all accounts and the financial nftalrs of
the" tax collection department, and is given
power to administer oaths as to the cor-
rectness of all claims presented against
the county, including those for salaries.
The meaning of the latter clause is that
public officials, either principals or depu
ties, will not be allowed any compensa
tion for time during which they are ab
sent from their duties.
The road supervisors act provides for
the election of road supervisors begin
ning with the election in June. 1902. The

remove the present road supervisors and
appoint others in their places to serve

successors was stricken out.
The County Commissioners' act deposes
Commissioner AV. B. Steele and restores
Judge Cake to his place on the county
board. The Commissioners are to receive
per diem of $3 for each meeting attended,
Instead of a salary of $109 per month each.
This was the compensation provided un
der the old law. The Commissioners are
required to meet at the call of tho County
Judge. This section was objected to by
the opponents of the bill on the ground
that It olaces the County Court in the
control of Judge Cake, who may call the
Commissioners to meet with him or not,
as he may see fit, to transact general
county business, or may do it all him
self If he chooses to, and thus remove and
appoint the men employea on the bridges
and Alblna ferry, nt the Poor Farm and

hand. It Is stated that the meaning of
this section Is simply to place the County
Judge at the head of the Commission
ers with power to regulate the number
and time of meetings. Commissioner
Mack is legislated out of office in July,
1902, two years being cut oft his term. It
is provided that a Commlgsioner shall be
elected in June, 1502, to take the place of
Mr. Mack. Commissioner "William Show
ers Is to serve his full term of four
years.
The bill reducing the salary of "the
Sheriff from $4500 to $3000 was withdrawn
because of an irregularity, which It was
found, would cause Interference with
Sheriffs In other counties. Two bills were
drawn in relation to this subject. The
first was found to be unconstitutional, and
the second was no better.
J fee law was passed restoring the sys
tem of fees collected under the act of
16S2, which was repealed by the acts of
16D3 and 1895. . It provides for payment
according to the amount of service per
formed, and is expected to realize more
revenue for the county than the present
blanket fee system. The act applies to,
cases ln the County and Circuit Courts,
probate procedure, and recording of con
veyances. The increase in revenue, with
the saving expected to be brought about
by the consolidation aot will, it is ex
pected, make the office of the County
Clerk self-sustaining.

HAVE WE FRIENDS?
A Few Facts Concerning the .
Nt
W YORK DENTAL
City and Counts' Will Be More Eco
nomically Governed.
In an interview on the saving In county
and city affairs which will be effected by
recent legislation. J. N. Teal, secretary
of the Taxpayers' League, said, yester
day: "The laws which were enacted by the
Legislature concerning this county are
quite numerous, and of very great im
portance, both ln the financial aspect
and in the changes made In administra
tion. It would he hard to estimate in
dollars and cents the savings that will
be made when the laws get In full opera,
tlon, but it will certainly be many thou
sands of dollars a year. Some of tne
laws apply directly to the whole Btate.
The first one is that In relation to the
levy for the state tax. Thja is Senator
Booth's bill. The assessed value of the
property for the five preceding years was
taken, an average struck, reduced to per
centages among the counties, and that
percentage Is the basis for the next five
years. During this period the County
Clerks of the respective counties will re
turn annually to the. Secretary of State
certain expenses of the counties, the av
erage of which will furnish the basis
after five years. This method is purely
arbitrary, but has this good effect: It
does away with a State Board of Equal
ization', encourages economy In the ad
ministration pf county affairs, and leaves
no excuse for Assessors to do otherwise
than assess fairly and equitably,
"Another law which Is general In Its
application, but which will cause a great
saving In Multnomah County is that
on assessment and taxation. Lnder this
act, the repeated copying of the roll and
levying on property, which have been
sources of great expense, have been done
away with. It also has provisions which
do away with the technicalities under
which so much property has escaped tax
ation in the past by reason of mistakes
or errors ln description. It provides for
the payment of taxes twice a year, on
May 31 and November 30, and ln case of
delinquency provides Dotn ior interest,
at 12 per cent, and a penalty of 10 per
cent, and allows a rebate of 3 per cent
for payments In full, If made on or be
fore April 15. It contains numerous pro
visions for correcting the roll, and for
assessment by the Sheriff of property
which has not been assessed. Advertis
ing the delinquent list Is not abolished,
but the price Is not to exceed 25 cents
a line. Certificates of sale are required
to be Issued to purchasers at Sheriffs
salest who bid the lowest rate of Interest.
If these certificates are found to be void
by reason of the act of any officer of
the county, the Treasurer of the county
muBt redeem them. Three years are
given ln which to redeem. Under this
act. every jollar of taxes due should be
paid. It t Impossible, in a brief state
ment, to give all the provisions of this
act, or to pet forth the saving which will
be made under Its operation. A law was
also passed making state taxes payable
twice a year.
"One of the most important measures
directly applicable to Multnomah County
was that creating the office of County
Auditor. Heretofore, this officer has been
appointed by the County Commissioners.
After 1902. he will be elective, with a
term of four years. The present officer
is continued In office until the next elec
tion. Under this act. the Auditor Is re
quired to give $20,000 bonds and he I
made responsible for illegal claims al-

When the public know the difference, they will choose the best every

have the BEST DENTAL WORK done at a much less cost than for poor work.
That is the reason OUR PARLORS are always filled with' people who ap
