eALEM. Or.. May 20. (Special. )
Governor West today referred the
resolution adopted by tha Board of
Krgenta of he Vnlverslty of Oregon
for proper action to force a speedy
final decision ault In the referendum
ci.e against the Cnlversltr. the said
suit this time to be tried upon Ita
merits, to District Attorney John Mc
Nary. -
The recent opinion of the Supreme
Court was given upon the technical
grounds that a citizen and taxpayer waa
not the proper person to bring action
to enjoin the Secretary of ftate from
placing the referendum on the ballot.
Tl.a motion for a rehearing filed a few
days ago in the Supreme Court la In
an endeavor to reopen tha case, but
has not yet been passed upon by tha
court.
The Attorney. General has agreed
with the Interpretation of the Supreme
Court as to the proper person to bring
a new procedure, and for thla reaaon
the question has been referred to the
Platrlct Attorney. Attorney MrXary
said today that he had not received a
communication from the Governor rela
tive to the matter and could not say
what action would be necessary nntll
ha had looked into the case, tie added,
however, that he did not think he was
the proper official to take up the esse
but that the Attorney-General should
be tha one.
The resolution eomplalna that tha
Supreme Court refused to hear the case
on Its merits because tha ault waa not
properly brouKht. belna- Instituted by
a resident and taxpayer, whereas the
remedy sought "can be Invoked only
bv the state acting through Ita proper
law offUers.'- It Is believed by tne at
torneys for the fnlversltv that a ault
-properly Instituted can be brought to
a speedy, prompt and final bearing;
without any graat -asperse."

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."
