Newspaper Page TextTHE OREGON DAILY JOURNAU PORTLAND, MONDAY EVENING.' JULY te, 1008. UT PAY TO LESSEN OFFICIALS' ACTIVITY Multnomah county's officials, or most of them, are doomed to have some anx ious momenta before the adjournment of tb next legislature. The county court, the eoun,ty treaaurer, the ceunty asses sor, the county auditor, are all slated to have portions of their salaries lopped and their limits of action amputated provided the members of the Multnomah delegation who are after them get what they go out after. The prospective atorm, of course, ! 11 due to the fact that there Is a feud among the politicians of Multnomah county. It la charged that there Is a "courthouse sang1' or a "county admin latrattve machine" both In active exist ence and In course rf additional con struction. Ut la charged that the county court, the assessor, the auditor, tin treaaurer and their departments an.i deputies are In a more or less elose cor poration established for the control or direction of Multnomah county politics. Mutual Sack-Scratching. 'According; to the story those men telL the officials named have a working plan bv which all the Influences 'tinder their respective hands are turned to the sup port. In -campaign times, of the members or me comoinauon. in uiucr m niuc-su r , this circle of influence It Is charged by " the nien "fernlnst" that V. C. North of the assessor's office Is slated to be the next sheriff, while a strong- effort will V be made to get County Clerk Fields. wh, has leaned against neither to the one . side or the other, Into line, thus making the entire official family of the county Into one close combination for mutual protection and control. It Is true that every member of the supposed cabal stoutly maintains that there Is no such combination, that there Is no community of Interest among the officials and no understanding. Never theless there are those in the county, and In the Multnomah delegation, who contend that there is such combination and that an effort will lie made in the next legislature to switch things so thit the nower of the organization will be shorn. IiOwer Pay the Bemedy. Just how the results sought are to be brought about is not explained, but It In hinted that an effort will be made to cut the salaries of some of the offices, to circumscribe their duties and other wise rearrange the scope of official life In Multnomah county so that it will not be possible for the different officials to wield any Influence over employes or surround themselves with political power. Whatever course the opposition may take It Is certain that those who are at outs with the existing county adminis tration will make an effort In the next legislature to secure the defeat of the present orneials not friendly to their ef forts, and out of the effort will In all probability fome some strenuous scenes In the Multnomah delegation, Just as was the case at the last session, when the fight between the sheriff and the county court was taken Into the legis lature, resulting in what Is known as tne prisoner reeding Dill, recently rati fied by the referendum vote at the June election. n.EIIEB; HELPS EMPIRE Tsi An Thinks tovPatch Up Everything by Politi cal Marriage.

Fearing the exe cutioner's axe, members of the imperial astronomical board are hurriedly con ferring today In an endeavor to fix a propitious day for the wedding of the son and daughter, respectively, of the houses of i nan 8hl-ral and Chang Chin-Tung. The principals Tn the iiro- posed wedding are bitter enemies but the dowager empress Is not worrying about that, because she believes Bhe can unite the warring progressive and conservative parties. Young Yuan Is the son of the head of the progressive party and Miss Chang is the daughter of the head of toe conservative party. Their union, tho empress believes, will settle the old feud. Failure of the board to act promptly when commanded to set the day for the wedding has led the empress to believe that there is a plot on foot to defeat her scneme.
