14 TITE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, JANUARY 14, 1917. SHERIFF PLANS TO CUT OFFICE COSTS Greater Efficiency Also Prom ised Under New System L of Tax Collecting. DULL PERIODS ELIMINATED Statements Are Made Out Before Paying Season Starts and Are Checked by Adding Machine, Needing No Extra Clerks. Preparation of tax bills In advance, resulting:. It is hoped, in superior service to the public and a. decreased cost of operation of the county tax department during rush seasons, has been made possible by a new system installed this year by Sheriff Hurlburt. Not only have time- and money been saved by the new svstem, but possi bility of error has been decreased greatly, according- to E. S. Huckabay, -'"r' uepuiy in me tax department. Under the former system of prepar ing the tax bills, they were not made up until called for by the taxpayers. The taxpayer waited in line while the tax clerk searched the tax rolls and wrote up the detail of the bill by hand. This is no more. The new tax roll Is opened for the collection of taxes each year about February 1. and at that time there is a general demand for tax bills. In for mer years, almost every day during February and March, the tax-collecting office has been crowded with taxpay ers seeking their tax statements, and during this period there has been a great congestion of business. The tax n f f 1 f 1 a 1 n fniinH 1 . . . Hcucooai; lu tSIIipiuy . large force of additional clerks, a great many of whom were inexperi enced and unfamiliar with the tax rolls. Errors and delays resulted from this system, as well as increased oper ating expenses. Better Service Assured. Sheriff Hurlburt and his tax deputies conceived the idea that if all the tax bills could be prepared in advance of their being called for there would not only be a decrease in the cost of main taining ithe department, but it would more efficiently serve the public with , a minimum of delays and clerical er rors. After a careful survey and inspection of improved methods adopted by cities such as New York, Pittsburg and Binghamton, a new system was evolved for Portland and was partially installed last year. The plan so distributed the work of the department throughout the year that there would be no real, busy periods and no dull periods. Under the old system the tax department main tained a regular force of clerks, who were only busy during certain periods of the year. During February and March from 45 to 60 extra clerks were added to the regular collecting force to assist in caring for the increased business at this period of the year. In April these extra clerks were laid off, and during the ensuing Summer months the regular deputies found a slack period, and Instead of being engaged in preparing for new work ahead, the most perfunctory duties were per formed. Clerks Kept Busy All Tear, Under the improved system the cler ical work has been rearranged in the tax department so that each month of the year has Its average duties to be performed, and future contingencies are anticipated and prepared for. Through this -method it has been possible to maintain an average regular force of clerks, and the extra force will be cut down to a maximum of 20 as compared with 40 to .60 heretofore, a considerable saving In clerk hire. Accounting machines for preparing the tax bills In advance have been in stalled. These machines not only write the tax bills, but they practically audit each bill, automatically adding and proving the correctness of each bill as It is being written. Deputies in the tax office say that these machines have reduced the number of clerical errors to a. negligible quantity, where hereto fore hundreds of errors were made in the bills each year, necessitating many , later readjustments. Accounting Machines Added.' Five of these new accounting ma chines, which, it is said, are the only ones of their type on this Coast, have just been brought from New York and installed In the tax department by H. J. Stewart, and the tax officials de clare that these machines will prac- i.,.-cwxj 1 1. f ui uiivui'jo uiu uioi lual worK In their office by making it possible to prove and correct all the tax bills before they are handed to the taxpayer. One of these machines, which will be used in the bookkeeping department will cut the expense of that division alone by $500 the first year. By next year the chief deputy of the tax department says he believes by Im proving the system still farther and with the new mechanical devices in stalled it will be possible to reduce the collecting force to a regular staff. If this can be done it is obvious that there will be a corresponding reduc tion in the cost of maintenance, and a far superior service to the taxpayers will be realized than was possible un der the old system. TWO SHIFTS UNNECESSARY Federal Head Says Flreboats Are Run Within Law's Rulings. Establishment of a two-shift system on the city s fireboats will not be re quired by the Federal inspection eerv ice. according to a letter received yeS' terday by City Attorney LaRocho from John Bulger, supervising Inspector of the First District with headquarters In San Francisco. The order from the headquarters reversed the order of lo cal inspectors that the fireboat crews would have to be worked in shifts of not more than 13 hours. "The licensed officers," says the let ter, are not overworked as they stand six hours on and six hours off which fulfills the law." Marriage License Record Broken. ALBANY, Or, Jan. 13.

REED PRAISED IN SURVEY Dartmouth Professor Finds Admin istrative System Effective. Dr. Harrey E. Burton, of Dartmouth College, who was delegated by the trustees of that institution to make a study of college administration through visiting colleges in all parts of the country, highly commends the admin istrative system of Reed College, Port land, the attitude of the students to ward their faculty, their work and the inter-mural athletic system. In his report he speaks strongly in favor of ttLo co-operative plan of gov reduce the much-complalned-of over head of the city's shop.

Within two weeks It Is expected the first 50 boxes will be ready and the second batch started. Every part of the instruments is made at the shop. Including all the gears, cogs and delicate electrical ap paratus. When completed the Instru ments will be ready for connecting the final wires. - It Is said there are no patents covering boxes of this type and that they therefore will operate the same as the present boxes in service. ernment, in which the president, trus tees and faculty participate. After visiting and studying 21 col leges, he reports that the attitude of students toward the faculty and toward their work Is far more admirable In the West than In the East and adds that at Reed College "the Western student ap pears at his best."

MORE WORK TO FOLLOW Foot and Pony Paths to Be Cut in Hills Near Portland During 1017 and Shelters Are to Be Established at Interval-. . - Fifteen months of achievement -that is really remarkable in the develop ment of the means of access to im portant scenic points about Portland and In the Columbia Gorge will be re viewed by the Trails Club of Oregon at Its annual meeting at the Chamber of Commerce 'tomorrow night. For the year 1917 the cluo contem plates still further extension of its activities in cutting foot and pony trails, and the establishment of shelter houses at convenient points, besides continuing its campaign, of education to acquaint people with the trails and the opportunities of outing and enjoy ment which they afford. A party from the Progressive Busi ness Men's Club and the Trails Club went yesterday for a SKI trip over the trail to the summit of Larch Moun tain, and this trip will be reported at the meeting tomorrow night. W. 1. Finley will show at the meeting illus trations of the bird and animal life of Oregon. Samuel C. Lancaster, president of the Trails Club, Is to leave eoon for the East to lecture before tne national Geographical Society. In his lecture he will use some of the Larch Moun tain pictures taken on the trip Satur day. President Lancaster's review of the activities of the club since its or ganization cover a field of great ac tivity: , "Although the Trails Club of Oregon Is only 15 months old, the membership has doubled In the past 12 months and now numbers more than 200. In the past year the club made several ex cursions, one to Benson Park, another to Eagle Creek, and still another to Larch Mountain. "December 11 an illustrated lecture was given Jointly with the Mazamas and the Kosarians in the Oregon build ing. "Through the kindness of the O.-W. R. & X. Company It is having made a splendid collection of -colored lantern elides for use in illustrated lectures. which will be given at frequent Inter vals by volunteer speakers from this club before schools, churches and civic organizations that will provide the necessary room and stereoptlcon lan tern. "In co-operation with the United States Forestry Service, arrangements have been perfected for posting maps on all trails and for indicating the principal point of interest at observa tion points, giving elevations, dis tance. etc. '.'The National Education Association Is to be here In July. It is planned to co-operate with the Superintendent of Public Schools and other bodies for the purpose of training guides, who can be of great assistance in disseminating Information regarding the trails, and many Interesting trips for hiking." .

NEW YORK, X. T. Since the re markable discovery of organic Iron, Nuxated Iron or "Fer Nuxate," as the French call It, has taken -the country by storm. It Is conservatively estimated that over three million people annually are taking It In this country alone. Most astonishing results are reported from Its use by both physicians and laymen. , So much so that doctors predict that we shall soon have a new age of far more beautiful, rosy-cheeked women and vigorous Iron men. . , Dr. King, a New Y.ork physician and author, when Interviewed on the sub- rtect, said: "There can be no vigorous iron men without Iron, pallor means anaemia. Anaemia means iron deficien cy. The skin of anaemic meiuand wom en is pale; the flesh flabby. The muscles lack tone: the brain fags and the mem ory fails and often they become weak, nervous. Irritable, despondent and mel ancholy. When the Iron goes from the blood of women, the" roses go from their cheeks. "In the most common foods of Amer ica, the starches, sugars, table syrups, candles, polished rice, white bread, soda crackers, biscuits, macaroni, spaghetti, tapioca. sago, farina. determinated cosnmeal, no longer Is Iron to be found. Refining processes have removed the iron of Mother Earth from these im poverished foods, and silly methods of home cookery, by throwing down tho waste-pipe the water In which our veg .i.hi ur cooked, are responsible for another grave Iron loes. "Therefore, If you wish to preserve your youthful vim and vigor to a ripe Sid age. you must supply the Iron defi ciency In your food by using some form of organic iron, just as you would use salt when your food has not enough salt. Dr. Sauer, who has studied abroad In crreat European medical Institutions, said- "At, I hate said a hundred times over, organic iron is the greatest of all strength builders. If people would only throw away patent medicines and nau seous concoctions and take nuxated iron. I am convinced that the lives of thousands of persons might be saved who now die every year from pneumo nia, grippe, consumption, kidney, liver, heart trouble, etc. The real and true ...... n,kiph started their disease was nothing more nor less than a -weakened condition brought on by lack of iron in. the blood. "Not longago a man came to me who was nearly half a century old and asked me to give him a preliminary examina tion for life insurance. I was astonished to find him with the blood pressure of a boy of twenty andi full of vigor, vim and vitality as a young man; n faefva young man he really was. notwith standing his age. The secret, he said, was taking Iron Nuxated Iron (lad filled him with renewed life. At 30 he was in bad health: at 46 he was careworn and nearly all In.

The Countess de Chevanne. who at i0 years of ago pos sesses a marvlously soft, smooth, vel vet-like skin and an almost glrl-llke complexion without a wrinkle in sight, told the writer personally in Paris that she owed it all to the discovery of skin osmosis.
