Center and liberty, Phone 9144 TAX nilBiTO BE Neet Recommends Machine System to Grand Jury and County Court Marion county's tax collection accounting machinery will be made tne most efficient and mod ern in the state if recommenda tions made by the sheriff's office here meet with the approval of the grand jury and of the county court. A major change proposed by L. E. Neet, deputy sheriff in charge of collections of taxes, is the installation of a bookkeeping machine to record all tax charges In a looseleaf ledger system. In stead of utilizing large bound books for each year of taxes the ledger will record the taxes cumu latively so the inspection of one ledger card will show the aggre gate of taxes assessed and paid on any specific piece of property. Control Ledger Planned With the ledger system there will be installed, if the new tax accounting plan is approved, a general ledger setup for the con trol of the tax accounts receivable. With such a system- the tax col lection office can tell at all times the aggregate amount of taxes levied and unpaid in the county. Another improvement proposed will be the installation of a cash register with which to receipt tax payments. This register will list all payments made and total them and will be used to check against the ledger statements. At the present time tax collec tion accountants must work through as many different books as there are rears of back taxes. To avoid this chore when the tax payer comes to the courthouse to make his payment, the tax collec tion department has prepared tax collection statements which list all the current and back taxes due from a property owner. Du plicates of these statements are kept for reference when the tax payer presents his moneys. State Officials Encouraging The auditing department of the secretary of state's office aa well as the state tax commission is encouraging the sheriff with his plans here. Both are hopeful that Marion county can work out a plan which will be a model of ef ficiency and one which other coun ties can adopt. SILVERTON, May 29.

ES Early restoration of the archives in the secretary of state's offices here is expected with mcst of the priced volumes already on file in his new offices in the state office structure or being repaired and indexed by the state library pre paratory to filing. Most of the volumes in the ar chives came through the fire un scathed; those that were damaged or destroyed are to be replaced. Included in the official docu ments are the senate and house calendars, messages of the gover nors, session laws and supreme court reports. Some additions to the archives are to be made by the secretary of state's office. Included in these additions will be the journals of the 19th session of the legislature which wa3 scheduled to meet in 1897. Actually the house and the senate did not organize so no jour nal was printed by the state; how ever such proceedings as the leg islative body did take were print ed in the form of public document No. 62 of the 58th congress. The secretary of state's office has written to the librarian of con gress for this document which will be added to the archives collec tion. New cabinets have been pre pared to house the archives in the state office building and the fire proof condition of that structure will give them fairly adequate protection from fire.

A. Robertson and a delegation from the Salem chamber of com merce. With only two blocks left along the water front on the Salem side of the river, boosters to make the strip on the West Salem side a park hold that if this matter is not taken up soon the last chance for a desirable river-side recreational center will be lost. The strip which the petitions ask the highway commission to secure is about a mile long, stretching from the county bridge to the tracks near the west en trance of West Salem. Ruling Reversal Hoped For The matter has been discussed with the highway commission, which body has held that it does not want to set a precedent in buying property for park purposes in an incorporated city, accord ing to Colonel Robertson. How ever, backed by the petitions, the sponsoring groups hope to see a change of heart on part of the commissioners. Robertson estimates, what with donations probable, the commis sion could buy the lots along the river bank now for about $30, 000. He holds that it will cost, within a few years when plans are made to widen the now 60 foot highway throikgh West Sa lem to an 80-foot one, fully that amount for additional right of way alone. Another factor which the peti tion bearers will present to the highway commission is that when development of the Willamette river comes, as now in sight, val ue of the land will soar and it will not be possible to purchase at the cheap figure possible now. Robertson himself sometime ago offered to donate for the cause several hundred feet of land he has on the upper, or Kingwobd Heights, end of the strip.

It is important that there be no political experi ment station and boat-rocking to kill the effect of these tides and prevent Oregon from making rap id progress in the next six to eight years. Speaking as a native of Oregon, who through residence on both sides of the mountains had intimate acquaintance with the state, McColloch commented on the advantages and the draw backs which Oregon had had. Comparative d e v e 1 o p m e nt of neighboring states has been more rapid, he said. Now, with new power develop ment virtually, at tidewater, there open opportunities for attracting industries and promoting develop ment. The range for economical power transmission is about 200 miles, and that means, he said, that western Oregon and the Wil lamette valley should profit most SPECIAL Our Usual Wave, Complete 75c Perm Oil ff .50 I'ush Wave, Complete - - - Phone SG63 30? 1st Natl Bank Bldg. f CASTLE PERM.
