' duced, the worle of whipping the three
measure into snap In the form of one
.complete 'bill la one -of the big Jobs
now: confronting the legislature. !
Senator Barrett of Umatilla and
Senator Smith of Coos and Curry are
the authors, of the two tax bills. aW
i ready: before the legislature. They ars
widely different In their provisions,
and also differ materially from i the
tout prepared by Representative 8. B
Ifuston and the other members of the
jta committee of the Multnomah dele
i .All three measures provide for semi
snnUul tax payments. That is about
the only aim Uarlty among them.

' Senator Barrett's bill j)rovlaa for
tax payrnnts on May ! and November
1, with 8 per cent Interest on delln
queat payments. ' His bill makes pro
jfvislon fori no penalties. . t
Senator ; Smith's bill changes the
time for making assessments from
f March 1 to January 1, and provides
that the first payment of taxes shall
, be. due October IS' and the second on
April. 15 of-the following year. This
would bring the tax paying period six
months nearer the time of making as-
sesstnents than unaer the present law.
The blU, provides that the first tax
j payment shall become- delinquent De-
, cember ' 15 after which time, if not
;tpaM, the entire ax shall draw 10 per
i;emt Interest until the following April
V16, the-due? date for . the second pay
nient. If pot paid by that time a S
per cent penalty is to be added and 10
- per cent interest will still continue to
f run 'until the date when certificate of
' delinquency Is Issued. Thereafter the
delinquent taxes shall draw Interest at
the rate of 12 per cent per annum.
Knstoa. Measure Provides Bebate.
The measure prepared by the Mult
nomah members provides that the first
half-payment shall-be due April 5, and
. tbe second naif October 20. - A dis
tinct feature la the rebate, of 3 per
cent, which tbe bill provide shall be
allowed on the second half If paid at
the tlm the first half Is due.
If tbe first half Is not paid when
due ft shall draw Interest at the rate
f 1 per cent a month. . If the. second
half also is allowed to become delin
quent, then a 6 per cent penalty in ad
dltlon Is added. The delinquent taxes
then draw Interest at the rate, of 12
ler ent par annum.
Senator T. L. Perkins, chairman of
' the senate committee on assessments
and taxation, also haa a nnmber of
other amendments to the tax laws as
drafted, by Assessor Hefiry Reed of
Multnomah. He stated today that ar
rangements would - be . made for the
senate and house committees on tax-
- atlon to hold Joint sessions and that
an effort would J. made to merge the
tax bills into one in that committee,
so when the final bill came before the

I , State Institutions in Splendid Condition
Senator Hawley, who, as a member of the senate ways and means
committee; has been'yisiting the institutions near Salem, states that he. has
never before seen them in such a splendid condition. The credit for this
pleasing situation belong to many. tCredit is due the legislature of 1913

large army of public-spirited citizens who have done . so much towards
raising Our standards and placing Oregon in the lead in all matters per-
taimng to institutional management and reform. .
j Fish arid Game Commission
Good business demands that all fees . collected i by state 'departments
should , be paid to the state treasurer and credited to the general fund, and
that each- department should be required to look to the legislature for sup
port. -The state game warden, whose department appears to be! spending
annually $134,000 of the fees collected, thinks that he should be allowed to
coritinue'this practice. His supporters argue that inasmuch as the sports
men of the state pay these fees, they should be given over to the game
warden to spend.
Speaker Selling answered this argument the other day when he said
I that the game. in the hills and 'the fish in the streams were-the property of

There has been some trouble in the
management of the state ? training
school and the institution for feeble
minded in the past, but reports are
that they are now In excel lest condi
tion. - When, the question of making a
change at the training school came up
some time ago dozens of letters pro
testing against any change were re
ceived by members of the state "board
from women's clubs, social workers
and Judges interested In juvenile court
work.
The opinion prevails here - that no
change is to be wiade, at thai present j
time at least, in the corporation com-;
mission or the members of the Indus-'
trial accident commission. Governor '
Withycombe has recommended a con
solidation of the Industrial accident
commission and the labor commission, t
and it is probable he will await legis
lative developments before doing any
thing with that commission.

a county exhibit at the Panama-Pacific

appropriation asked, for that purpose.
The booster organisation will make an

Baker. Or., Jan. 18. -It cost the tax
payers of Baker county the sum of
$112,349.07 to run the county during
the year 1914, according to the report
of Chief Deputy U'eris tjnanes v.
Baird. -who bas closed his books for
the year. In addition to this amount
the county court spent $39,469.19 on
road work. The item of expenses fo
new county bridges during the year is
included in the warrants drawn from
the general fund, and amounts to $3?.
851.21. This makes the total for roads
and bridees spent in Baker county In
1914. $77,320.40.' This amount is in
exeess of 1913, when approximately
$66,000 was spent. The last named
amount is the average spent by the
county for roads and bridge improve
ments the- past 10 years. Lst year

built bv the county?

much larger. The new county court
