Portland actually shipped -several
carloads of fresh creamery butter to
the eastern markets during the last
week. This is' a' reverse of usual
conditions here, - because In normal
seasons a large percentage of tbe but
ter used here during tbe winter comes
from the middle west.- One carload
was shipped from here to New Torlt
direct, while the others went - to
various points.
The reason for this unusual condi
tion is the fact that there has been
only a limited demand for canned
milk this, fall and winter and the
milk and cream which usually goes
into cans was diverted to the cream
eries, thereby increasing the supplies
of fresh butter quite materially. Dur

Appropriation Made 2 Years

introduced i today by Senator J. H. ing the present season this market
uingtiam of Lane county to reduce the
salaries of; the county commissioners
of his county from $& to 13 a day, is
Senator Biogham a . detei mlnation to
rectify thai system under which the
taxpayers of his county, in l articular.
and more r less in all counties, are
being gouged by extravagance io coun
ty government.
One step alone this line, he said.
will be the introduction Of a bill to
limit the amount of money that may
be raised in a county ty taxation.
Senator Bingham said he would have
aucu a bill ready in a few days.
He has secured figures from several
of the WlUamette valley counties, as
to the salaries and exnens money
drawn by the county commissioners.
and comparison with Lane county
shows that the cost is many times
greater in Lane than elsewhere. - His
figures' show that in Lane during
1913 and 1914 the county commission
ers received i for salary and expenses,
$6435.67. Jn Linn county for the same
period ttfey received $1188.90.
less in Douglas.
In Douglas they received $2282.85.
and about the same in Marion.
faenator Bingham Dolnta out that
Lane county has apent $20,000 for a
poor farm. I and has a fine farm and
buildings, .but ho hospital wards.
Therefore, be says the county patients
needing hospital care or medical at
tention are sent to the two hospitals la
Eugene, and each month the county
has to pay bills running from $700
io U9 ror: hospital and doctors' fees.
He points out the report of State
Highway Engineer Bowlby, In which
attention is called to the manner In
which Lanei county was induced to nav
over $14,000 profit on steel used In a
bridge costing $42,000 when completed,
The bridge! was built by the Coast
Bridge company. -He cites this as an
other instance of the extravagant sys
tem under which the counties are now
operating. I
Segla at Borne.
"Out of fevery $100 raised by taxa
tion" . said i Senator Bingham, "$87.50
goes for county and other local pur
poses.' Only; $12.60 goes for state taxes.
So if we are going to cut down excess
ive taxation we must begin at home."
Senator Bingham Is strongly opposed
to the law authorizing the county edu
cational board to appoint rural school
supervisors; He said It has cost Lane
county $17,000 since this law went into
effect in 1811 for these supervisors,
and that commensurate benefit was not
received from their services.- -

duced a bill to repeal this law.-

Salem, Or., Jan. 18. Members of the
legislature from Eastern Oregon are
going to insist on a liberal appropria
tion for bounties on . coyotes. With
the animals infected with rabies in
many localities, they say that the
situation is serious.
The house today .' reported to the
senate that it had passed the memo
rial to congress introduced by Senator
Burgess of Umatilla, asking for an ap
propriation of $800,000 to be used in
exterminating carnivorous animals . in
the national forests in :he western
states.
It is In the national -forests that
these animals have their breeding
places, and it is felt by stockmen in
the western states that they must
have assistance from .he federal gov

ports, every year.
Two years ago an appropriation or
$40,000 was made for bounties on coy

That appropriation was exhausted
about six months ago. This time an
appropriation of $60,000 Is betas asked
for, and $20,000 to cover the deficiency
occurring durins the last, blennium.
Tbe various counties pay half the
bounties, the state paying the other
half. ' v
