tax levies In time to have them entered

the levies must be filed and atlll there

about the law. Some of the districts
are anxiously waiting to see If the

ture should extend the time to Febru

Representative Mayger of Columbia
county has Introduced a bill In the leg
islature repealing the district attorney
law and providing for a prosecuting at
torney In each county. According to
the bill the salary of the prosecuting
attorney for Clatsop county Is fixed at
31000. or the same salary os Is paid a
foreman In a Chinese laundry. There
Is not an attorney In Clataop county
who would accept the position at any
such a salury. After contriouung 10
campaign exines. paying rent of an
tiiivinir from three to a doxen
tickets u day In local entertainments,
raffles and loaning out a few dollars
occasionally to Impecunious consiliu
ms, the prosecuting attorney would
have to telegraph home for more money
to buy u aquare meal. A competent at
torney ought to be puld as much as a
Chinaman who awump out saloons or
carrlea In wood. The discrimination
Is too apparent.
