THE OREGON DAILY :' JOURff AL, ' PORTLAND, THURSDAY KVKNING. NOVEMBER 20,' 1813. 11 Kl N G S STRATEGY Wl NS Congressman - Sinriot Seizes , Opportune Moment to Pre-' ". sent Case, ' .( Wellington Bureio ot Ttao Journal.) Waahlngton, Nov. 20 Judg. Will It, King,, chief counsel tor tl? reclamation ervlce, and Congremiman Nicholas Sln ; nott of Oregon, who are) cld friends, are being congratulated , fever 'a bit of strategy Hhey resorted to In order to Expedite the Went Umatilla extension. A short time prior to the Issuance of the order authorising; the west, extension of , this project Congressman Slimott Ijad 5 arranged for a conferenoe between him I .self and Congressman . Raker pt... Call "fornia and the reclamation coirimiastton i for the purpose of considering the clos- Idi ot th railroad gates designed to . reclaim the Lower Klamath marshes. I , - Judge King la a member of the rocla ) nation commission, and before taking -. up the consideration of the gate matter he called Congressman Slnnot.t aside and j told him that he had been urging action i jin the proposed west extension of the I Umatilla project and had buen endeav- oiing for some time to Impress the com-. ' mission with the urgency of the. do 's 'mands in Oregon for the West Umatilla extension, and that this was the "psy j etiological moment" for pressing the ! west extension matter for action. King .suggested to Sinnott that before the ; conference close he bring up the matter in some way before the commission. i Towards the close of the conference 'the talk shifted for an Instant Jto irrl- gatlon. The Oregon congressman seized ! the opportunity to comment on the long time it, was taking to decide on the West Umatilla extension. He told the commission that the people of Oregon were anxious to learn as soon as pos sible what would be done in the matter, saying further in a humorous way that he was thinking of taking a trip home; that to -get there he would have to go through Hermlston and was reluctant to do this unless he could bring some word of encouragement to Umatilla people about the west extermion. Con troller Ryan of the reclamation service assured all present that action in the matter would be taken as quickly as possible. This happened on Saturday, November 'l. Announcement of the issuance ef the order for the West Umatilla ex tension was made by the department of the interior on the following Thursday. ADVISORY BOARD URGES COMBINING CITY AND COUNTY (Continued From Page One.) characterised as 'deserving help from J the .-county. , ' . -. s :. Of good roads, the) committee says' In '; part: "Our budget estimate w in this' resnect. ' looks 'to , Dermanent standard " construction, with allowance tor emtr- 4 gency work Or repairing on existing' highways. We i are now at. the parting ; of the ways In road construction in . Multnomah county, and must build for; the future and build for lasting quali ties.' The : committee - recommended 1121.000, for the Columbia highway. Two Kill Boa Tax Opposed. Joseph N.' Teal voiced his objection to a proposed I mill tax for roads, say ing that the committee had granted "all that the superintendents of the twf . county road districts and Engineer Lan- caster has asked for, ancl that this amount was sufficient. He termed 2 J mills as excessive,1 and remarked that it would Impose a needless additional burden on the small taxpayer, who is , already laden with street and other lm pi ovement taxes. A salary of $1200 was granted for the office of sealer of weights and meas ures, created by the last legislature. The committee further recommended a revised system of accounting whereby expenses should be charged ' to the month in which they are incurred rather than the following month, as is now the custom; checking of working time of employes, and standardized road work with proper accounting. Budget Estimates.

I'Wt believe the entire system needs overhauling, simplifying '" and ..reconciling." Government Should Be United. , The report says: "Some way slipuld be devised of uniting all governmental activities of th county under one ad ministration. May it not well be asked why the schools in this coun ty, now divided into 55 districts, should not be united in one," why there should be two road districts instead pf one indeed, why the city and county func tions should not be combined?" Th'J committee further asks why there should be duplication of city and coun ty jails, hospitals and courts and pleads for centralization. Tie committee taeores-tne last legis lature for the acts dividing the sher iff's responsibility In collecting taxes with the assessor. It says: "The as sessor should never have been made a tax collector. The entire system should be revised by the legislature and one county officer made the collector of taxes." Perhaps the most revolutionary step taken by the committee was the ap propriation of $25,000 for the Somers Unit System of Realty Valuation. The committee says in part: . "This method of determining the value of real estate is in use at Cleveland, Ohio; Denver, Colo.; St Paul, Mitin.; Houston and Galveston, Texas; Des Moines, Iowa, and a number of other eastern cities. Somers System Satisfactory. Its ground work' Is scientific and it is giving satisfaction wherever used. It has the approval of the county assessor as a system of , equitable valuation and we believe that its Installation in Mult nomah county will be welcomed by the great majority of -property owners."- Agriculture play's a part in the com mittee's budget, small appropriations be ing allowed $1500 for agricultural ex tension work in conjunction with natlon-aJ.Kdveiininent-.and.Ui...Oteoa...JLgl. -cultural college and granting 43640 for the Multnomah county fair, which, is r ( Your Winter Coat or Suit $5 to $10 Less AT.
