Hn Km... - .... . , y iiiyiivM The Salem correspondent tr tho Oregonian writes. j The total expenditures of tho sever-' al counties of the state tor tho year 1901. exclusive of roadbuildlng, vsasl J1.049.5SO.S4. This Is shown by a statement Just Issued by Secretary of State Dunbar. The figures arc taken' from tho roportB of tho several coun ty clerks filed with tho secretary of state as required by the act of tho last legislature. The avorgao oxpens. es for the counties for 1901 and the four succeeding years will he taken as the basis for tho apportionment of state taxes after the period named has expired. Secretary of Statn Phinbnr hn.t imv' pared tables, one of which tho Kast Oroirnnlnn nrknnivln1 pne flirt ww-1t of, showing the population of oach county according to the last census, the nssessed valuation of property, the total area, and tho percentage of state taxes that would be paid on tho basis of last year's expenditures. As this last matter Is the chief purpose of the now law, tho effect it will have upon the apportionment of state taxes is of greatest interest. Under tho laws in force prior to 1801. oach conn-1 i. iiitu io kwii iia usscsscu vamauon tnlheur down In order to escnpo as much ns. Morrow possible of the burden of taxes. In ',,,, order to avoid and correct this ovll, crook the legislature fixed an arbitrary per- imcojn" centage of state taxes which each Sherman county must pay for flvo years, after oilllnm which the proportion oach county nj0 shall pay will bo determined by as-! m .,...' " bos oi eacn county ior n penou oi flvo years. Each county will then pay state taxes In the proportion that its i expenses boars to the total expenses of all the counties. The Basis of State Taxation. So far as this one year's returns are concerned, the now basis will be materially different from that now in force, but as tho average exponses for five years Is to be the basis, the flnal result cannot yet bo determined even approximately. Under tho prosont law Multnomah county Is paying 31.23 ....... C . I . ...... . . -.. It ,1... i itui ui uio nutiu wi.m. upuu UIU I basis of expenditures for 1901, that 1 county would pny but 24.18 per cont. During the next four years, however, I Multnomah's expenses may increase I to such an extent ns to raise her pro j portion of the state taxes. Clackamns county, under tho present system, pays 3.35 por cent of thu state taxes, but her expenditures last yoar, If con tinued for four years at tho same com parative rate, would require that county to pay G.C2 per cent of tho state taxes.. On the other hand, Linn aud Marlon counties, which have kopt their expenses down, are in a fulr way to experience a reduction in their state tax burden. It is possible that Marlon, Linn and other counties which have been running on a strict ly economical program may find that their expenses will be higher dining the uext four years, thus raising tholr general average. Valuations and Expenditures. In the following table is shown the rank the various counties take In the mattter of population, assessed valu ation and expenditures. Thus, for ex ample, it will be seen that Marion county Is second in both population and valuation, but drops down to fourth place on the amount of expen ditures. Clackamas county, on the other hand, is third in population, seventh in valuation, but rises to sec and placo when It conies to spending money. Umatilla county ranks third on county expenses, but Is Blxth in BEEN HERE 36 YEARS. 1 Lot Llvermore Tells What t.vj County I and Town Consisted of When He I First Arrived. ... . nr ofil.1 ! 1,1 i just ijo yt'aiB uku luuoj , Dinu i Llvermore this morning, "I arrived , in Oregon and have bean lioro over i sinc e.
