CUT THEIR SALARIES ALSO Handling of Fublic Funds Declared to Bft More Particularly the Work" of County Trea&u at Increased Pay. $ AX-EM. Or.. Oct 21 (Special ) That thi duty of collecting taxes should be taken from the Sheriffs and imposed upon the Counry Treasurers, is one of the recommendations contained in the report of the Oregon Tax Commission, just is sued from the printing ofnee. This recom mendation is in itself of considerable im portance in the management of county af fairs, but it assumes particular interest to Sheriffs and Treasurers when coupled with the suggestion that this change will make necessary a reduction of the, salaries of Sheriffs and a. raise of the salaries of Treasurers. The commission concludes the subject by remarking that the Legisla ture, if it makes the change, should- not overlook tha salary matter. That i he handling of public funds is 31: ore, parucularlv the work of a Treas urer and not of a Sheriff, is the principal reason for the proposed change The corn mission is of th opinion that the ac counts could be just as accurately checked if th money were paid directly to County Treasurers as it could be if it were paid :flr.st to the Sheriffs and bv them turned over to the Treasurers. There would bo cne less opportunity for mismanagement. The commission does not base its recom mendation so much upon its own reason ing1, however, as it does upon the reason ing of a Sheriff, who is quoted, but whose name is not given. The Sheriff briefly turns up the advantages of the change as jollows: Firt Freeing tne f hrtff from the duties cf Tax Collector, thus giving him' opporrun Jtv to dvof his time to criminal ma'trs anfl othr duties- that properly belong to tha Fherift's off.ee. fecond Lesnlr.g the re? ponsibihUes of the herift' office and decreasing that of Prer' bond without materially increasing either the bond cr responsibility of any other officer Third Decreisir.g the cost of running the f beriff s office, and increasing the salarv of the Countv Treasurer, enabling the Treas urer to live without the necesty cf engag ing in other and outside business, as at pres ent in most counties-. Fourth Increas-ing the eff!;lencv of the Treasurer office, as well as the f herift s office. Fifth Transferring the tax-collecring de partment from an office where it is a dtn nnt to an office more in accordance with its requirement s. Sixth Lessening the work of checking up the various offices without necestarilv de creasing the effectiveness of such checking. The, commission also remarks that Sher iffs are chosen with regard to their flt r.ess as executive officers, and not as col lectors. In connection with this same subject of the collection of taxes, the commission advises that no change be made m the lime when taxes shall be, paid or in the rebate allowed. This recommendation is made after careful study of tha questions involved. There has been agitation every two years in favor of changing the time of payment from Spring to Fall, upon the theory that it would be easier for farm ers to pay taxes at that time. The com mission finds, however, that the present plan :s working no hardship, for the farmer may. if he wishes, pay half his taxes in the Spring and the other half in the Fall. Upon the subject of rebates, the com mission advocates letting well enough alone. Attention is called to the fact that in every county taxes are paid promptly and that the delinquent list is smaller ;han ever before in the history of the s.t ate. Continuing, the report says; Permanency in the system for collection of taxes is one of the most desirable fea tures it can have. When the statutes re lating to the time and manner of payment of taxes are. subject to continual legislative change confusion is the inevitable results; oversights occur, misunderstandings take place, the payment of taxes is forgotten un til penalty is attached, or the property has been 6o!d. and dissatisfaction rightfully fol lows. To attempt to bring the taxpaylng time of the succeeding year forward is to throw the payment of two years' taxes into one. and these taxes can never be recouped. When the special session of the Legisla ture was called in 1903 for the purpose of undoing the act of the Legislature at its regular session in the same year, changing the time of the payment of taxes, public sentiment was thoroughly voiced as satisfied with the prox-isions in force as before their attempted change, and a5 we now have them. The rebate provisions amount to merely this: If money is worth 10 per cent a tax payer who borrows SOT to pay his $100 in taxes March 15 will ha'e the same amount to pay on the first Monday in April, within a very few cents, a a taxpayer who borrows $50 on similar terms the first Monday in April, and makes .one half-payment, and pays the remaining half in cash on the first Monday in October. We believe this is not unfair, and in our opinion, the prompt pay ment of taxes, encouraged by the rebate, coupled wi.h economy in county administra tion, is to be credited with placing many of the counties of the state upon a cash basis, which had theretofore been consider ably behind in the payment of current obligations. SHERIFF XAXSDOX ARRESTED Coroner of Washington County Series the "Warrant at W'eiser. WEISER. Idaho. Oct. 21. (Special ) Robert Lansdon, Sheriff of Washington County, and candidate on the Republican ticket for Secretary of State, was arrest ed in this city this morning bv Coroner L. W.

OFFERED BY LABOR UNION'S MAXY BILLS TO BE PRESENTED TO OREGON LEGISLATURE. Members Have Learned That Close Tab Is Kept on Votes Cast on Such Measures. SALEM. Or , Oct. 21. (SpeciaJ ) If the Legislature at its session next Winter gives attention to all the measures which the labor unions, or some of them, seek to have enacted into laws, there will be something to occupy the time of the solons for several days. In his biennial report Labor Commissioner O. P. Hoff has briefly summarized the subjects upon which legislation has been asked. There are IS of these measures and it is altogether probable that bills will be in troduced embodying the features of each. Usually the labor unions or individuals who feel an interest in the matter, pre pare the bills and hand them to friendly members of the Legislature to introduce them. Labor bills cause the members of the Legislature as much worry as any class of legislation, . except, perhaps, liquor laws. There is a feeling abroad that a Legislator who seriously offends the labor unions by his action in the Legislature thereby becomes a member of the large company of political has beens. The labor unions generally have a strong lobby at the capital during a Legislative session and they keep' close tab on what the members do, not only with regard to final vote on labor laws but with regard to intermediary motions and amendments. The members soon un derstand this and are particularly careful how they vote on labor bills. Measures of this class are likely, therefore, to re ceive careful consideration. The list of laws which Mr. Hoff has" been asked to submit to the next Legislature is as fol lows: Regulating th maximum hours that train mQ can b allowed to be on duty without rest and sleep. Preventing -the railroad companies from working telegraphers who handle train or ders more than 10 hours each 24 hours, and to allow none under IS years of age to per form that work. Compelling adequate fenders for etreet cars and to have aisles In center of open cars. Hequlring the union latel on all public printing. Prohibiting convicts competing with free labor. One union suggests that they be set to work building state roads. To abolish boarding-house licenses. Eight-hour law for all labor. Raising the age-limit in the child-labor law from 14 to 16 years. Extending the 10-hour law for females to Include all female workers. A law such as exists In Eastern cities com pelling the carrying of a solid false floor be neath the men working on steel buildings, for the protection of the men and the public that may be near. Regulating boiler-inspection, and putting a practical botlermaker to do the work. Making corporations responsible for care lessness of their foremen and sub-foremen. Calling tor an Arbitration Board to settle all labor troubles. SURVEY TO WILHOIT SFRIXGS Oregon Water Power Company Has Secured Rights of Way. OREGON CITT. Or.. Oct. 21. (Spe cial. 1 It is now learned that the Ore gon Water Power i: Railway Company and its allied interests, including the Portland General Electric Company, are behind the mysterious survey that was made two months ago between this city and Molalla, with Wilhoit Springs as the objective point. The survey was made by the C. E. Loss Construction Company, while rights of way for the entire distance of the proposed electric railway were procured by Attorney J. B. Eyan, of Portland. These instru ments are made out in the name of Alfx Sweek, trustee, and the fact that iden tical rights of way have been secured between Canemah and Salem, also in the name of Mr. Sweek. naturally sug gests that both enterprises are being backed by the same interests. Attorney Ryan was in the city yester day and stated that, with other men who are interested in the pioperty. he would go over the route within a few days and complete the final details, after which his company will proceed with actual work of construction. The proposed route for the line will extend from the north end of this city up the Abernethy to Beaver Creek, or southerly to Xew Era, and thence to the Molalla country, and eventually to Clackamas County's celebrated springs.

Fight .Centers on Two Candidates. CENTRALIA. Wash., Oct 71. (Spe cial.) The political campaign in Lewis County from the present outlook, will be very tame. Only two tickets are in the field and the Republicans seem to have such a sure thing of nearly all the offices that a strong fight is not being made. Democrats are making their strongest fight, against Repre sentative George McCoy and Commis sioner Young from the second district. Thore is a strong sentiment in Cen tralia against Young, who, it is al leged, is too partisao to the interest of Chehalis for the good of Centralia or the other parts of the county.
