Salem. Or., Feb. 4. As a result of a conference today between Governor West and Assessor Henry E. Reed of Multnomah county, a compromise, has been reached on "house bill 60, Increasing the number and pay of deputies In the assessor's office. . Reed has agreed that despite the pro. visions of the bill, which carries an ag gregate salary list of J43.620, he will run the office for $33,820. This agree ment he has put in writing, and with thia document as protection for the tax payers. Governor West will permit the bill to become a law. , - ' 4, By thia agreement, a saving of over 113,000 la made over the present salary Hat," this being made possible because the work of the office has been de creased by the passage of the exemption- amendment doing away with the assessment of household goods.

( The agreement signed by Assessor Reed is as follows: "In consideration of the approving of house bill No. 60, fixing the number and salaries ot the deputies to be employed by the assessor of Multnomah county, and which, carries a maximum annual expenditure of $4J,620, I hereby agree and make faithful proml.e that the said -agreement shall be fulfilled, that the maximum annual cost to the tax payers for deputy hire under the provisions of the said bill shall not exceed $33,620."

The house rules were auspended and the bill Immediately transmitted to the senate. ' In thia body, it is probable the measure will meet with opposition, as the committee report on a similar bill Introduced early In the session In the senate received an unfavorable re port. The senate sustained the vetoes of legislative measures made by Governor M. K Hay after the adjournment of the 1911 legislature. Among the acts ve toed waa one which would have repealed the existing law restricting the sale of Intoxicants by druggists without a phy sician's prescription. The teachers' retirement act, which tailed of passage last session, but la again before the lawmakers with alight changes, will be made a special order In the senate Wednesday. A strong, lobby Of prominent state educators Is In Olym pla, working for . the passage of the measure. The general terms of the bill are that when a teacher has taught 30 years If male, and 25 If female, they may be retired on a pension. Fifteen of these years must have been taught In the Washington schools. . The fund out of which the pensions will be paid Is mado up of a percentage of the wages of the teachers of the Mate and from the assessment for the common'' school fund. Many young teachers are opposed to the measure, as well as 'transient ceachers, - who do not expect to teach many yeara in the atate.

The bill carries an appropriation of $60,000 for buildings and mainten ance.
