TIIE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, " TORTLAND, DECEAIBER1 2, 1917. COUNTY WASTE IS SCORED BY BENSON AND THERE'S A COUPLE MILLION OTHERS, KAISER BILL! RELIGION OF DAILY LIFE zo t sr - . ..." r v Inefficiency, Duplication of Work, Lack of Co-operation Included in Indictment. SALARIES FIXED BY LAW Member of Official Taxpayers' Bud get Committee Declares Under Present System $2 000 Paid to Get $1000 Worth of Service. General inefficiency, duplication of work and lack of co-operation among the various departments are included in an indictment of the conduct of the business of Multnomah County, under the present system, in an interview by S. Benson yesterday. In preferring these charges, Air. Benson based his accusations entirely on his observa tions of the management of county af fairs gained from his work as a mem ber of the official taxpayers' budget committee which recently concluded a survey of the estimates of the differ ent county departments as to their financial needs for the year 1918. "As an instancei" said Mr. Benson yesterday, "the county today owns be tween 12 and 15 automobiles which are presumed to be for the general use of the various departments. Notwith standing this fact, the investigation by the budget committee disclosed that at times when three or four of these machines were standing alongside the Courthouse unused, employes in some of the departments, without under taking to obtain the use of the unem ployed autos, hired private-owned ma chines and had the bill for services charged against the county. As a re sult of this practice, each budget for several years has included requests from different departments for the purchase of additional machines for the particular use of those depart ments. "There is also wholesale duplication of work in the various departments. This is especially true in the offices of the Sheriff and the Constable. The chief duties of each of these offices consist of serving papers and summoning ju rors. In addition to the objections al ready urged, there exists a general lack of co-operation among the various de partments of the county government. Specific Instances of these duplications are too numerous to enumerate. "The reason the recent budget com mittee was unable to make & greater showing in reducing the grand total of appropriations asked by the different departments of the county government as it is now organized, was simply be cause the great majority of the em ployes in the different offices and their salaries are fixed by law. "Under the present system, when ever a political hanger-on must be sup plied with employment at county ex pense in liquidation of a political debt, or a useful booster and his services are required for the advocacy of some can didate's candidacy in an election, it has been the practice to create a deputy ehip for him. The head of the depart ment then goes to the Board of County Commissioners and represents that the employment of the additional deputy is necessary to the proper conduct of the office and to handle the business of the particular department. Relying on this representation, the Commissioners authorize the employment of the extra man or men, as the case may be. Then the official goes to the next meeting of the Legislature and by the enactment of a law, saddles these additional deputies on the county at salaries named in the measure creating the offices. In this way, additional depu ties are foisted on the taxpayers at comfortable salaries and with a mini mum work, if any, to perform and the only way the taxpayers of the in terested county car dispense with their services is by repealing through the Legislature the particular statute by which the job3 were created in the first place and their salaries fixed. "As a result of this practice the county has been overloaded in practi cally every department with superflu ous deputies at good salaries for whom there is actually no need and for whose employment the excuse is entirely a fullflllment of political obligations. In support of of this assertion, a visitor to the corridors of the Courthouse at almost any time of day, without the aid of a guide, will find from three to half a dozen deputies from different departments loitering about the build ing smoking cigarettes and swapping yarns during office hours. "This is the main reason that in Multnomah County it takes $2000 of the taxpayers' money to get ?1000 worth of service. "Because of this system of legislat ing useless deputies into office, the services of a budget committee are ab solutely useless. About the only func tion such a committee has to perform is perfunctorily to pass on a budget made up chiefly of necessary amounts No Advance in Price Manufacturers Pay the War Tax and Protect Public For more than a quarter of a century the price of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin has been 50c and $1-00 per bottle.

"It Is because of this very situation that the demands for funds for provid ing the statutory salaries of deputies, which is annually mounting higher, re quires the bulk of the tax levy permit ted by law, leaving no available funds for legitimate improvements of a mate rial character. "As a remedy for the conditions of which I have complained, I would sug gest, first, a consolidation of the city and county governments, -with the re sultant elimination of duplication of work and salaried employes. "If this plan is regarded too radical. I would suggest . that the various de partments of city and county govern ment be combined as far as practicable into the lowest possible number of de. partments. I would then have the Governor appoint three commissioners. substantial business men, to serve with out pay. To these commissioners should be left the selection of one man as a business manager who should have full charge and authority in the conduct of the business of the city and county governments, including the em ployment and discharge of all neces sary employes. In other words, this business manager,, or whatever you may choose to designate him, should be given the entire management of the public business, and permitted to con duct the same on the same sound busi ness principles as apply in the conduct of the business of a private corpora tion. "I would have the Commissioners ap pointed by the Governor rather than elected by the people, for the very good reason that under our present system a good handshaker will win out over a capable and successful business man, as has been demonstrated In this city on many occasions. "Some change in the present system of administering our city and county governments is positively imperative if the constantly increasing burden of taxation is to be relieved and the public business conducted efficiently and on sound business principles."

Berry, of Portland, In vents Current Wheel. 1 INVENTION MONEY -SAVER Power Producer Said to Cut Cost of Work to Irrlgatlonlsts First of Its Kind Set Up Has 2 00-Gal-lon Capacity Per Minute. H. C. Berry, inventor, 169 Sixteenth street, has completed a new working model of a water current wheel,, de signed to provide cheap water power for irrigation and other purposes. from the natural current of streams. Mr. Berry has set up the wheel in the river at Gladstone, and experts have pronounced it a success. The wheel is the first-of its kind to be set up. it is equipped with a 4-inch' pump, raising 200 gallons a minute. 20 feet high. Mr. Berry main tains that the wheel will solve the high cost of irrigation for farmers and will be the means of getting water cheaply on land and thus increasing the pro duction of foodstuffs. Describing the wheel, Mr. Berry says: Wheel Key to Efficiency. "In the wheel itself is the key to the efficiency. The shape of the blades, their depth, length and number, and to wheel diameter. The shape is such that the hydraulic engineering require ment. Is met, that the water must enter the wheel without shock and leave it without velocity. This is fulfilled to the greatest possible extent. Churning and eddying of the water and its locking between the blades, both when the blades enter and leave the water is further obviated by making these blades and the core, or drum, of the PORTLAND MAN'S INVENTION BY WHICH HE SAYS CHEAP WATER POWER IS AVAILABLE. 2 ? ' 3 W pys-- ' T ii -TtTrx- irriiV"Tii'TWTT rj r'ffft wheel hollow and water-tight, hence bouyant "For protecting the wheel from driftwood, a slant boom is used an chored above the wheel. The wheel can be built in sizes to conform to any power requirements. For example, a wheel 28 feet long and 10 feet in diam eter if moored in a 10-mile current will develop 175 horsepower, cost per horsepower. $12, and will deliver 4550 gallons per minute against a total head of 100 feet and will deliver 1516 acre feet of water in 90 days and would ir rigate 758 acres and cost about. $2700. Cost In Outlined. "As the horsepower of any given plant increases in proportion to the cube of the numbers representing the velocity of the current, the amount of water increases correspondingly, while the cost of horsepower decreases in the same ratio. A machine in -which there is one wheel 5 feet in diameter, and four , feet wide, that has an esti mated horsepower of 6 when used in an eight-mile current, this would de liver 330 gallons per minute under a 60-foot head and irrigate 55 acres in 90 days, using 110 acre-feet of water during this time. The cost, including pump, would be about $275, or at the rate of $42 per horsepower. With the current SV4 miles per hour, this same machine pumping against the same head, would develop 74 horsepower, delivering 400 gallons per minute and flood 183 acres with one acre-foot of water, all in 90 days. Without pump, this size power plant would cost ap proximately $165. These performances are based upon an estimated efficiency at 65 per cent. "It Is interesting and instructive to compare the per horsepower cost of power delivered by the Berry Current Power Plant when Tigged up with a generator as compared with the cost of power from municipal central stations and from commercial stations. From United States Government reports for the years 1902, 1907 and 1912, it is shown that it cost municipal stations on an average of $135 per horsepower and for the commercial stations $262. For the Berry plant, in a seven-mile current, it Is about $60 per horsepower, or a reduction of 63 per-cent and 80 per cent respectively, and doing away with the building of expensive dams, which require large investments."

COUNCIL DELEGATE BACK Mrs. Isaac Swett Tells of Convention and Silver Jubilee at Chicago. $25,000 to Be Raised for Relief Work After War. The members of th Council of Jew ish Women in all parts of the United States and in Canada are very active in war relief work, according to Mrs. Isaac Swett. who has Just returned from attending the National Council of Jewish Women, which met in Chi cago from November 6 until 10. Twenty-five years ago the council was formed in Chicago and this meeting was in the nature of a silver jubilee. There are 89 sections of the council, with a membership of 22.000. "The keynote of the convention was patriotism, religion and philanthropy in its biggest and broadest sense," said Mrs. Swett. "It was decided to raise not less than $25,000 for the purpose of send ing trained social workers Immediate ly after the war to assist in rehablll ating the homes In the war-stricken countries. One of the most interesting features of the convention to me was the endowment of J5000. which was made for the purpose of training social workers." Mrs. Swett is delighted with the ex ceutional lot of Red Cross work which is being done by the women all over the country. While she was away she spent part of her time in Kansas City and said that the women of that city were devoting all of their time to Red Cross work. ' "I feel very gratified with the spirit of our women both in the United States' and Canada. The women in the East are not doing more Red Cross work than the women of Oregon be cause they are among the most diligent workers of the whole land." Mrs. Swett spoke on the 'Influence In the Past 25 Yeara In Conservative Judaism" at the convention. Mrs. Swett is past president of the Portland Council of Jewish Women. At next Wednesday's meeting of the Portland council Mrs. Swett will give a report of the proceedings of the Na tional council. Mrs. S. M. Blumauer, National director, will also be present. C. F.

RELIGION PUT TO THE TEST. A good test of a man's religion is Its utility. Religious profession used as a cloak and that too often reserved for Sunday wear, hiding In part the shabby rags of sin Is but sacrilege. In any attempt to analyze a religious system or creed it is pertinent to examine the results- of its operation in the lives of its adherents. This is as simple and fair as to judge a tree by the quality of its substance and fruit. Altruism Is an essential Ingredient of a religion that Is worth while. "If a man, say. I love God. and batetb hla brother, he la a Hart for he that loveth not bis brother whom he hath een. how ran be love God whom he hatb aot aeeaf And this commandment hnve we from him. Thnt he who loveth God love hla brother also. ll John 4:20. 21). MISSIONARY SERVICE. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints Invites attention to its work of unselfish. practical, unremitting benevolence. In missionary service the Church has been active since the date of its organization: and this systematic labor, because of its extent and unique methods, has attracted attention and stimulated comment in practically all nations of the earth. Actuated by a genuine love for humanity and the de sire to obey the Divine command re specting such, the Church sends out every year hundreds of missionaries to proclaim Its message to the world. These devoted servants comprise men and women called from all vocations, who serve without salary or any other form of material remuneration. . Fur thermore, they pay their own way in traveling to their appointed fields of labor and while serving therein, ex cept so far as they may receive assist ance from those who become interested in their work. A desire common to young Latter Day Saints is to so live that they shall be found worthy to be called into serv ice to spend a period of years, generally from two to four, as traveling minis ters of the Gospel of Christ. They offer their message without money or price, carrying It to the doors in city and country, distributing literature. Invit ing conversation, but never forcing themselves upon unwilling hearers. Who can consistently affirm that such faithful servants as these are insincere or devoid of that love for fellow-man without which genuine love of God is impossible? THE RELIEF SOCIETY. The benevolence that manifests itself In material giving Is impressed as a duty upon members of the Church, and while every one Is taught to assist the needy by individual effort, a system of orderly contribution and distribu tion is maintained. In each Ward and Branch of the Church an organization of women known as the Relief Society is operative. Its particular function is that of caring for the needy and the afflicted, without exclusive distinction as to whether the subjects of their ministration are members of the Church or not. The Relief Society receives con tributions of money, clothing, food and other commodities and distributes these as occasion requires, beside maintain ing a system of visitation to the needy, giving aid in nursing, comfort in be reavement, and relief from distress in every way possible. FASTING AND PRAYER. The Church teaches the efficacy of prudent fasting, moderate abstinence from food at stated times, as an acces sory to prayer; and the first Sunday of each month Is observed as a fast-day. On that day the people are invited to meet for special devotional service, and by common consent and custom they contribute at least the equivalent of the meals omitted through the fasting of the family. These offerings are re ceived by the local officers, and are distributed under their direction to the worthy poor. If there be a surplus In any Ward it is applied to the needs of other Wards In which the proportion of dependent poor is greater. By these and other methods, includ ing the tithing system to be considered later, are the Latter-Day Saints taught to give of their substance for worthy purposes, and In such a way as to avoid indiscriminate charity whereby per chance unworthy dependency would be fostered. We believe that the harmony of our prayers - will become a discord if the cry of the deserving poor accom pany our supplications to the throne of Grace. For literature of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, much of which is distributed without cost, apply to any of the Missions, among which are: Northwestern States Mission. 810 East Madison St..
