Bjr WlUard Wltrz. ' (Br Journal Leae4 Salem Wire.) r Salem, Or., Feb. 24. Governor Chamberlain today filed 21 bills with the secretary ot state with his disapproval and which ho returns to . the next, legislature with his veto. Eight were filed '-yesterday, which makes' a total of 29 vetoed bills filed within 24 hours. Fifteen of the ve toes today were salary-grab bills; as were four, of those returned yester day. The policy, toward these bills was plainly outlined early in the session by the governor bo that the members that Introduced the bills knew -perfectly: well what to expect from the executive and can have no reason to cqmplain. ; ; ... ; . The vetoed bill which may bs con- Mero, hv inmg Hi tia the most imPOK- nt, related to the depositing of state funds. The grounds for vetoing the bill are set forth as follows: . Sootlnn Inf thn hill, which 18 Senate WU number 144, amends section 1$ of chapter 135 of , the general laws of OroRon for 1907, and has the effect to remove, an amoigimy in me uris"'; act which If It stood alone the bill would meet my approval: but inasmuch , uxtlnn ntia nf the bill nroDOses Ao amend section ten of the laws referred tn nA vatK in the governor, secretary of state and state treasurer the power of approving the securities which my be offered for deposits made by the treasurer with the different banks, and concludes by releasing the state treas urer from" personal liability on his of ficial bond for any moneys that might be lost by Teason of the failure or In solvency of -any bank which becomes -a oepository unaer mis aci, m my opin ion It tnignt uav me eireci ot invau dating the treasurer's bond. ' Bom Wot Balsas. "This clause is In the law as it Stands at present, but' I question if It would have the effect to release the personal liability of the treasurer on his bond where he is vested with the duty of approving securities which are offered to pirn for deposits made in the different banks. If that power Is .taken from -him and vested la the governor, secretary of state and state -treasurer there is no question rnjt that It would then have the effect to release the treasurer from any personal liability tinon his bond. Any aot which has the effect of releasing an official on his bond is against a sound pubtio policy." The bill was introduced by senator Uto Sswsd Books. flenate bill 154 reautring that all books wherein deeds and mortgages are recorded must - be sewed books, Intro duced by Senator Bailey, has lso been vetoed. A similar bill requiring that ell county records be put In Bewed hooks- was killed in the senate. It was also Introduces oy Kaiiey. , A bill Introduced by Senator Bingham providing i for the publication of taxes which may be delinquent upon real property In the several counties of the state Is vetoed and the governor's Tea sons are set forth in the folkwing statement: Too Knob. Expense. "This law was in force a few years ago and entailed upon the .taxpayer vuch a heavy expense that it was donned best to repeal it I cannot -see that any good can come of the. reenact ment of the law. .but on the contrary it will be Instrumental in entailing addi-4 tlonal burden upon the taxpayers or the state." A bill introduced by Senator Mullt which makes it a misdemeanor- for any one to wilfully and' maliciously Insti gate or circulate or transmit to another or others any statement untrue in fact, derogatory to the financial condition or affecting the solvency or financial standing of any bank, banking institu tion or trust company doing business in this state or to wilfully and maliciously counsel, aid, procure or induce another to start. or circulate any such statement or rumor Is another. ' - The governor believes it is class legis lation and founds Ills action on those, ground? . ' Vetoes Coos-Curry Uns Biu. A bill Introduced bv Senator Chase defining the boundary line between Coos and Curry counties is vetoed, regarding which the governor-states: '"i'hls Dill purports to nx : aennneiy tha hoiinda.rv. line -between Coos and Curry counties, but the county judge of the latter county advises me that the dim m noi BaviHiaciory 10 in jieuyio his county and that it Is unfair to them.1 I am not in a position to know wsjiat. If any merit there is tn this con tention, but sssuming that the county judge understands the situation. I deem it best to disapprove the bill and leave, it to the authorities of the two coun ties, before the cbnvening'of the nex session of the next legislature, to agrsa on the form of bill, so . that tHe boun dary line may be definitely fixeijat the next session." , - Salary Bills Under .ths A. Tn mtnalnln hill that were vetoed relate to salaries or other emoluments of county officials. Two of these bills especially are given particular attention by the governor, one of which was in troduced by Senator Johnson, the other by Representative Bonebrake, both, or which relate to the salaries of all th county officials of Beaton county. . Regarding the one , introduced by 'Johnson, tho governor states: 'The act has. for its purpose an in creased office expetise1 .of the county clerk and sheriff and the county record - on nf Rrlnn r-nuntv. It takes effect SU days ater the -adjournment of the leg-r lslature. me act js very cicyorjfwi vi ed, and section provides 'that 10 per cent or tne iegai voier may .s the county clerk of said county, within 90 days of the adjournment of the leg islature, their ' referendum petition to refer the. act. to a vote of the people If the referendum 'petition is filed within the time provided for in the act, the county curt shall make an order referring It to the vote of the people of the county, but If the referendum peti tion is not filed within the time, then it becomes operative. Y . -it wlll .be noticed that before the people are fully advised as to their rights in the premises by publication of vTL ..i. v. loo-lmlntiirn the net will become effective and- the officers named will be receiving tne increasei cumjreu satlorv. .- - - - .- . "For reasons stated ,, in my message vetoing senate bill No. 143, I feel con strained to - return . this bill with ray veto." Barn for the Benton BUt The reasons given in vetoing senate bill NO. 13, which was returned early in the 'session, were the general ones that the governor would not sanction an-u- (nnrMiKn.in the salaries of county officers that would take effect during the incumbents present terms ui ,. w fice. The Bonebrake bill is similar to the Johnson bill, except that its purpose is to lncrease the emolument of the offices of county judge, county clerk, sheriff, recorder treasurer and school superin tendent in Benton county. It also, pro vides for the use of the referendum and is vetoed on the same grounds as the Johnson measure. Tillamook Salaries Bolter. Representative Beals bill increasing the emoluments of certain county offi cials of Tillamook has gone the veto route with the rest. The governor gives follows: ' - "Under the law as it stands at pres- ent, the assessor, of Tillamook county ia ol inwf.fi much deputy hire as the county court may allow. The present mi i,iihi ih nnwer from the county court and permits the assessor to have a deputy at an annual eaiary oi pef annum and- Increases the emolu ment of the, rienutv county clerk. ; "I am inclined to believe that when ever the assessor needs assistance the county court Is in a position to ssty whether or not such assistance should be allowed, and the present bill In creases the emoluments of the officers of the two offices during the term for which they nave been elected. Wallowa Bill Bowled Over. Representative Rusk bad got a bill through the legislature increasing the tolarv nf the county school superintend ent of Wallowa cbunty during his term of office. It is vetoed, despite the fact thate there was a provision in the act that attempted to refer the matter of increase to the people of the county. Regarding this the governor states: "It purports to submit the act to the voters or Wallowa county, but the referendum therein contained is imper fect and the bill will become operative at tbe expiration of 80 days after the adjournment or tne session unless ve toed." Against sound Policy. The message accompanying S. B. 143. introduced by Senator Miller of Linn and Lane, reveals the governor's nollcy toward all these salary bills of this character. It Is as follow": "This bill raises the salary of the county commissioners of Linn county during the term for which they hkve been elected. The increase! Is small, but It "Is against a sound public policy for the legislature either te raise or o di minish the compensation received by county officials during the term for which they have been elected, unless the salary paid appears to be very much smaller or very much in excess of an ad equate compensation for the services rendered, or unless new duties have been Imposed upon an official not con- a i - . . .

' By Carl Smith. 'The 'water code bill, practically as framed by the conservation commission, became a state law today. It was one of 17 bills filed by the governor, , It establishes a board of control, pro vides the method of appropriation of water for irrigation or power use, enables speedy determination of dis puted claims, and limits power grants to 40 years. . It carries , the emergency clause and. will be effective for ;. tho coming season. , ' An revenue producing measure which may' be' termed supplementary to the water code was also . filed. . This is Representative Eaton's bill fixing ' a charge of 25 cents to $2 per year per horsepower on water hereafter appro priated when put to beneficial use, , The insurance commissioner bill "is another brand new law. It reduces the deposit required of fire Insurance com panies from 50,000 to $25,000 and its friends predict that it will bring many companies Into the fet&te, ss safe as the old ones, and will tend to make Portland an Insurance center. The emergency clause Is on the bill by mistake, and the governor ha an- nouueed that for this reason he will not . appoint the commissioner for which the bill provides, leaving that duty to bis successor. ' Bean Tax Commission. The Bean tax commission bill is one of the important measures filed. This is the law framed to meet the de cision of the supreme court in : the Yamhill tax case, resorting to the state board of equalization as a solution. The Oregon national . guard will get $40,000 for armories, the bill appropri ating thin amount being filed. The money will be expended and sites se lected by the military board. Half the sum to be spent for an armory must be subscribed by the community where it is located, so 80,000 Is the amount that will really go into the armories, half coming from the state.

Feb. 24. Aside from the creation of several additional circuit Judges, because of which some criticism W hnn directed at the Twenty-fifth legislature, not many new state offices i were added to tne iisi, as rooipa with the last session. Three new circuit Judges were added. Two of these. Judge W. N. (jatens in Multnomah county and Judge J. 8. Cake In Coos and Curry counties, are already on the bench.' A Judge to assist Thom as A.

Kneh of these judgeships car rier a salary or 3uuu. ' The new office of Insurance commis sioner has been created. . The laW..is to go Into effect at once. The position han attached ft salary of 3000. Two water commissioners were cre ated by the passage of the water code, at a salary of 2400 each. Benides these positions, totaling 16. S00 in salaries, the others are of little consequence. Two additional- Justices of the su preme court were provided, at salaries of S4S00 each, but these were not in every sense new officers, as the legls-: lature of two years ago created two ; commissioners of the supreme court.; and the last session only turned those commissioners Into full fledged Jus- tlces receiving the same salaries as be-, fore - - -- ' The railroad commission was also created two years, ago. There are three ! members of the commission. They aren paid salary of 4000 a year; so, with tne commissioners or me supreme court, these creations of the' 1907 leg islature alone amounted to 21,000 in additional salaries. -. Among the minor offices created by Ihe Twenty-fifth legislature are two deputy district attorney for the Fourth prosecuting attorney district, a divis ion of the Second Judicial district, at salaries of $400 each. Benton, Lane and Lincoln counties ronstitute the Fourth prosecuting attorney district. Also, by a bill introduced by Repre sentative Brattaln. an additional depu ty prosecuting -attorney, at a salary of 4 00; has been created for the Sec ond prosecuting attorney district, com posed of Klamath and IXke . counties, it division of the First Judicial district By an act of the legislature this dis trict has now been transferred into the Thirteenth Judicial district, leaving the Other two counties of the orlcinal First rjiidiolal district, Josephine and Jackson, aieneio comprise tne Kirst district.
