responsibility of poncing me state

more than 19 per cent to the
state orer the expense of the de

try of State Kozer by T. A. Raf

Finances Presented
Presenting the financial side of
the year's operations the report

""The cost of all equipment
necessary in the enforcement;

Howerer. it is belierod a depreci
ation value of 20 per cent should
be charged up against it, leaving
its present value at approximately
$7127.04.
"Further along in this report it
is observed that delinquent li
cense fees collected by the inspec
tors total $11,955.75 and fines
imposed by the courts on violators
brought before them by the in
spectors amount to $10,933.95.
To those two items add $7127.04.
the present value of equipment on
hand, and it will be found that
the net profit to the state from
its force of inspectors is in ex
cess of 19 per cent, without giv
ing consideration to tfc) saving in
highway maintenance expense.
Stolen Cars Uncovered
"Your attention is further di
rected to the fact that stolen mo
tor vehicles to the value of $10,
545 have been recovered by the
inspectors and in no single in
stance has any inspector accepted
a reward for this service. While
this amount is not exceptional in
any degree it will be remembered
that inspectors' operations are
largely without the corporate lim
its of the larger cities of the state,
their work being principally in
the rural sections and smaller
cities and towns."
Effective work in the use of the
two sets of loadometers pur
Chased by the state Beveral
months ago for the apprehension
of overloaded truck opeartors is
reported in Mr. Raffety's state
ment. Fines Average $13.66
Relative to punishment for vio
lations of the traffic laws the re
port says that the average fines
imposed by the courts during the
year was $13.66.
, "While this would not appear
to be commensurate to the gravity
of some of the offenses," says the
reporU"yet in referring to our
records for the latter part of
1920 when the work was first
started it is found the average
fine was $3.28, which confirm the
belief that there Is closer cooper
ation between the courts aand the
enforcing officers."
The report notes that 800 ar
rests were made during the year
and only seven cases lost in the
courts.
Legislation Recommended
The report embodies two recom
mendations for further legislation.
These are la the follovlng para
graphs: "Referring again to the fact
that courts throughout the stat
have collected from violators of
the motor vehicle law the sum of
$10,933,95 as a direct result of
the activities of the inspectors,
and having knowledge of the fur
ther fact that this money reverts
to the county in which such court
is located, and without effort on
the part of the officers of that
particular county, it is recom
mended: that legislation be re
quested whereby this money, or a
portion of it, may be returned to
the state and used to defray the
expenses of the enforcement work,
liig Mileage Covered
"It is further recommended
that section 24 of chapter 371.
laws of 1921, as amended by sec
tion 2 of chapter 8. yaws of spe
cial Ression of 1921. be further
amended to specifically grant au
thority to magistrates anad the
secretary of state to revoke the
operator's or chauffeur's license
of an yperson who, upon compe
tent authority, is adjud&ed an
habitual user of narcotic drugs."
The report shows that the eight
inspectors of the department cov
ered a total of 81,833 miles dur
ing the year.

Dog collars are now on hand
at the county clerk's office, and
it behooves owners of dogs to
comply with the state law and
take out licenses.
U. G. Boyer, county clerk, says
that a big supply of collars was
received yesterday and now dog
owners may step up to the coun
ter in the county clerk's office
and pay the state license.
For male dogs the license will
cost $1 and for female $2. But
for this price, the county will
throw in a heavy leather dog col
lar with the number of the li
cense stamped thereon.
The enforcement of the state
dog law Is up to the sheriff's of
fice On account of the supreme
court decision declaring the dog
law valid, not being handed down
until just a few weeks ago and
the fact that the county clerk had
no dog collars until yesterday, it
is thought that ttas sheriff's office
will be lenient for a week or so.
In regard to the dog there are
two laws to make the canine a
real dog's life. The first is the
city ordinance of 1916 by which
no dog is entitled to be at large
within the city limits, and the sec
ond law is that passed by the state
legislature, requiring that each
dog wear a dog collar, upon which
there, is stamped the number of
the licence.
Violation of the state law sub
jects the owner to a fine of $10
and costs, and violation of the city
ordinance another $10. Thus if
the owner of a city dog should
permit the dog to roam at large
without a license, two arrests
could be made and two fines of
$10 and costs assessed.
commodations wai unanimously
adopted, and also the charge of
50 cents a night.
Camps that have service of the,
standard type, such as Salem.' will
make the 50 cents charge per
car. Those that do not have
standard accommodations will
make a 23 cent charge. Mr. Mc
Croskej said.
The motive that caused the
northwest conference to make the
two different charges was due to
the feeling that the average tour
ist will be willing to pay for po
lice protection, for all conveni
ences and a camp, manager wlo
can give all necessary informa
tion. It was also said at the confer
ence that a small charge with
value given would not affert th
j tourist travel, and to some pi.
tent would cut out from the high
class camps what is known as tha
hobo tourist.
Under the new regulations for
all first class tourist camps in the
northwest the charge will be 30
cents a night, and a permit card
issued. The tourists will not be
solicited by any business nor will
there be public speaking in the
camps. Lights must be out at 11
o'clock, according to the standard
rules, and dogs must be kept u
leash. Camps will be sanitary in
every respect.
The record of each car will
show the point of origin, desti
nation, date of arrival and date
of leaving.

Whether Boosters Will Take
Over Grounds to Be De

With the meeting of the Cher
rirv.r, called for Monday night to
cons'dvr the taking over of the
automobile park. Salem is likely
to fall in line with all other towns
in the northwest in providing first
class accommodations for tourists
ftnd charging 30 cents a night for
About 300 cars stayed over
night in the Salem camp last sea
son, beginning early in April and
closing November 1.
Last summer Cherrians were
appointed to visit the camp each
evening, talk with tourists and
tell them of some of the advan
tages of living in the Willamette
valley. Should the Cherrians take
over the camp, it would probably
be known as the Cherrian auto
mobile camp, and be conducted in
such a manner as to reriect credit
on this boosting organization.
Automobile tourists in the
northwest will all pay 50 cents
a nteht for accommodations in
all city parks, according to T. E.
McCroskoy, manager of the Salem
Commercial club; that is. 50 cents
a car.
This disposition to do away
with the free auto park originated
in the meeting of the Pacific
Rocky mountain northwest tourist
camp conference, recently held in
Spokane. Delegates from almost
all cities were in attendance, and

Trend of Population to Cities
Shown by Oregon Cen- .
sus Reports
Classified Ads. in The
Statesman Bring Results
The tendency of the population
to accumulate in the larger cities
and towns, migrating not orily
from the farms but from the
smaller towns, is disclosed by an
analysis of the census returns 'of
Oregon for the two decades pre
ceding 1920.
Of 19S towns and cities listed
in the Blue Book. 16 towns de
creased in population between
900 and 1910, and only one of
the 16 had a population over
1000.
Of the same list of towns apd
cities 57 decreased in population
between 1910 and 1920. and only
nine of these exceeded 1000 in
habitants, viz: Ashland. Grants
Paps, Independence. Lakeview,
Lebanon. Medford. Rainier, Rose
burg and Union, while 11 of the
larger centers made substantial
gains, such as Astoria, Corvallia,
Eugene, Klamath Falls. Baker, La
Grande, Oregon City, Pendleton,
Portland, Salem and The Dalles,
and the city of Bend developed
from a place of 536 in 1910 to a
manufacturing center of 3415 in
1920.
The decrease in the 57 smaller
towns between 1910 and 1920
amounted to only 9887, while the
increase In the 12 large cities
amounted to 77.103, and the in
crease in the other 129 towns
amounted to 31,995, or a total
increase In towns and cities of
109. 09S. and a net increase of
99.211. The total increase of the
entire state- between 1910 jf
