Salem, Ore.. Dec. 21. 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.

Washington. Judge Charles H. 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.
IMffcroiKVs Not IVi-MMial.
"My differences of opinion with Mr.
Forbes." continued Mr. Elliott." were
not of personal nature. 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."
