Nearly every church and public building in the city was damaged to some extent. The tower of the church of St. Andre was partiaUy demol ished and will have to be tora down. Reports reecived this afternoon from outlying districts indicated that the earthquake caused loss of life. A number of buildings were destroy ed in Rome's outskirts.

Discussing the statement in Governor West's message relative to the payment of $3000 in clerk ihire for taking care of school land payments and other matters In connection with tho care, of th school funds,! State Treasurer Kay said today that over since the school fund was created, until two years ago, it was the practice to take care. of the clerk hire from the receipts of the. school land funds. Two years ago, Bays Kay, the legislature provided In an appro priation .from the general fund, of the state that there should be 14800 in the state land board appropriation for wages, during the biennial period, of the clerk who looks after the collec tlon of payments and other matters in connection with the school land fund. Necessarily, his work is done in Kay's office! the state treasurer says. The! state treasurer says it would be unfair to tack the amount of clerk hire Accessary for the care of the school! fund on his appropriation, even if tho j work is done in his office.

Would Save Money- Spent upon Census Salem, Or., Jan. 13. Representative- Dillard of Lane county has a hill for the abolition of the decennial state census, which he declares will save the state between $50,000 and $75,000 per year. He has attached the emergency clause, so that the census, which would start May 1 of this year, may be head ed off before expensive preparations are made for it. "The state census Is needless, be cause the federal., census covers the same ground, and more besides," said Mr. DUlard. "The only advantage it possibly could have would be to -make I th rmi n 1 1 -fAl romfnrtahlA hv thA ' knowledge that they may have grown some since the federal census Iwas taken. The-same satisfied glow could be produced, however, by a little ex tension of the work of the school cen sus takers." Confusion in Stock Brands Prevented Salejm, Or., Jan. 13. -For the protec tion of stockmen from larceny of their horseq and cattle, particularly in the eastern Oregon country, and to prevent confusion and loss through duplica tion of stock brands, are the purposes of a bill introduced by Senator W.

Salem, Or., Jan. 13. -Governor West's veto of senate bill 212, enacted at the last session, was received in the senate Tuesdays The bill ve toed provided that the secretary of state should employ a printing expert to check all printing done by the state printer. - The! governor vetoed the bill, he states! in his message,' because it at tempts to amend a section that was repealed by house bill 423, and also because It was aimed as a slap at the then State - printing . expert, who had been, active In exposing conditions In the state printing . office.' under the Old conditions. . : v : Since the last session a new printing law has gone into effect, and the" state printer is now on' a flat salary basis. No action was taken by the senate on the vetoed bill. - . " 1 r V - - . PERMANENT LIST OF EGISMD VOTERS WOULD SAVE MONEY Card Index System for City and Country Proposed- by Representative Kuehn. 4alem, Or., Jan. 13. Representative Kuehn of Multnomah county is pre paring to make a vigorous fight on his bill to revolutionize the system of electoral registration. This measure would establish a permanent registra tion list on the card index plan, the voter registering once and for all time until he moves away or. dies. The plan is adapted to both city and country . registrations, except that in the country there is to be a regis trar for each township who receives the registrations and forwards them to the county clerk. For this work. h would receive 10 cents per name. Mr. Kuehn holds that one advantage of the proposed law would be that the naturalized citizen would not be re quired to present his certificate of naturalization every time he goes to register. In fact, he would limit the questions to be asked or the pros pective voter, besides his or her name and address, to two: "Are you of legal age?" and "Are you a citizen of the United States?" If aliens attempt to register falsely they are as much subject to prosecution for perjury as If they had given their birthplace as Holland or Sweden or Germany. From his card Index, the county clerk makes typewritten lists for each precinct, the names on which will be the official proof of registration when the voters go to the polls. If anyone fails to vote at any election for two years, his card will be taken out of the Index, but the clerk notifies him that he has been dropped. If the 'vo ter Is alive and resident of the same precinct, he may notify the clerk, to that effect and the card will be re placed. It no reply Is received it will be assumed that he Is dead or per manently absent. -' Mr. Kuehn says the bill will save Multnomah county at least $12,000 each biennium in registration cost after the system has been established, as a single clerk will be able to keep pace with the new or changed regis trations once the list is made"tip,-. Ask Survey for Grain Road. Pendleton, Or., Jan. 13.
