A short time, ago Governor West gave out a list ho wing- the class in which each county would be if his plan for uni fying county, salaries in put Into ef fect by enactment of the legislature, and yesterday he gave out figures showing the method of arriving at the classification of the counties. His idea is that the present haphaz ard method of fixing salaries of county officials should be displaced by a plan that will make the salary of every county official correspond to the salary of the same offi, Inl in every other county In the same class In the state. Thus all cerks in coun ties of the second class would receive! the same salaries, and all sheriffs in those counties would receive like sal aries, and so on through the list of county officials. Method or Classification. This classification of counties is made according to the area, assessed valuation and population of the coun. ties. At the head of the list alpha betically is Baker county Its area is 3.175 per cent of the total area of the 'state; its assessed valuation is 2.R20 per cent of the assessed valu ation of the entire state: its popula tion is 2.687 per cent of the popula tion of the state. This makes on av erage of 2.793 per cent of the total area, assessed-valuation and popula tion of the state, and according to the schedule arranged, places Baker county in the fourth class. Baker county is cited to illustrate how the governor has figured to place impartially, each county in its proper classification, Multnomah county stands by far in a class by itself, and is given class one. The other coun ties whose average runs from 4 to 5 per cent are placed in the second class, from 3 to 4 per cent in the third class, from 2 to 3 per cent in the fourth class, and less than 2 per cent in the fifth class. The following figures ehjow how Umatilla county is classified under the governor's plan: Per cent of acerage, 3.349; per cent of assessed valuation, 4.503; per cent of popula tion, 3.019; average per cent, 3.590; class, 3.

Kl liott of Minneapolis, whose resigna tion as a member of the Phillipine commission was recently accepted by President Taft, Is in Washington, but soon will leave here for Minneapolis, where he intends to practice law. Judge Elliott came here from London a few days ago, the request for his resignation having reached him at the time he was about to leave for Vien na, Austria, on a tour of that country and Eastern Europe. Mrs. Elliott re turned with him and already has gone to Minneapolis, where her husband will join her about Wednesday of next week Judge Elliott was on leave of ab sence, and this was extended until March 4. the close of the Taft admin istration. His salary until that time has been paid to him In advance. Say Higher Official " Ins. "Where there are differences of opinion between two officials." said Mr. Elliott, "the higher official wins, unless it is the intention of the ap. pointing- power to make a complete change in official personnel." This statement refers to certain dis agreements that have existed between Mr. Elliott and Governor General Forbes, which were laid before the president shortly after Elliott had sailed from Xew York to Europe and which presumably led to the request for his resignation from the secre tary of war. acting under advice from the White House.

So far as 1 i knew and they related entirely of mat- ters of administrative detail at Ma- i nilla, I was surely surprised when in- ; formed that he had become person- I ally offended with me. "However. I am about as well satis fied as I might have been to return to Manila and be let go with the in coming Wilson administration. When I 1 was in the I'nited States in Oc. tober, I debated for several days whether I should return to Manila or hand in my resignation and stay at home, due to the short time that will elapse before the new adminis tration at Washington takes hold of affairs. Finally I decided to return to Manila, largely for the purpose of parking up my belongings." Wanted at Oiioe. The East Oregonian will buy your old rags. Must be large and clean.
