KEEP WEEDS CUT
SALEM. Or., March 7 In addi
tion to vetoed bills acted on Tuesday,
the legislature enacted four new
laws. Two of theso wcro entirely
new bills, one was a vetoed bill ot tho
1911 session, reconsidered and
passed, and ono a house bill of small
importanco taken from tho tablo In
the senate and passed.
One of tho new bills was by An
derson of Wasco, II. I). G33, relating
to county fairs, so as to make It pos
sible to levy a tax this year for the
holding of county fairs. A bill pre
viously passed was defective !ntbat
it left no way to ralso money for ex
hibitions this year.
The other new bill enacted Is S. D.
337, by Moscr, amending tho license
tax law In its application to foreign
corporations. This is an emergency
measure td meet an expected decision
of tho state supremo court holding
the present law unconstitutional.
This would cause a loss of 154,000
or mora to tho state In license fees
oxcpt for the new law. The bill as
passed fixes n flat rate ot $100 a year
for foreign corporations doing busi
ness In Oregon.
' In tho last hours tho vetoed house
bill 110 of tho 1U11 session was re
considered by tho senate and passed.
This is known as the "weed bill,"
making It tho duty of property own
ers along highways to keep the roads
free from noxious weeds.
Tho senato also passed II. D. C03,
by Forbes, relating to terms of court
In tho seventh Judicial district. This
had been lying on the table.

GOVERNOR REFUSES
'
PORTLAND'S
T
HE Portland Commercial
of the Rogue- River fish
veto, and President Piper sent the following letter to the
members of the legislature:
"I am Instructed' tiv tho board of coventors of tho Commercial club to
Inform you that the board Unanimously approves house bill 107, opening
the Hogtto river to commercial Mslilng, and desires It passed over tho gov
ernor's veto."
This was to be expected. Anything that .lackson
county is interested in is likely to be opposed by the Port
land Commercial' club. Last summer the club openly op
posed the Medford initiative county bonding act which
was in all essentials the same as that finally passed by
the legislature.
Commenting on the former the Grouts Pass Courier
cites it as ono instance ot
"how tho commercial bodies ot the state viewed the selfish attempt of a
few Jackson county people to cut oft a source ot revenue to Joscphluo
county. This action Is appreciated by southern Oregon."
The Courier deceives itself if it thinks for ono minute
that the Portland business men care a continental about
the sources of revenue forJosephine county any more than
they do for Jackson or any other place outside of the
metropolis. Neither Grants Pass nor any other southern
Oregon town. is important enough to arouse Portalnd
business men to action.
Portland's action is due to the fact that Portland
capital purchased the cannery at the mouth of the river
and that its operation means bringing in a quarter of a
million dollars a year to the state, which means greater
trade for Portland.
The passage of the bill over the veto was favored by
Portland because it permitted commercial fishing at the
mouth of the stream and hence the operation of canneries
not because it aided a dozen professional poachers at
Grants Pass. The same action would have been taken
if the bill prohibited all fishing above the Illinois.
SALARY GRAB vs. SQUARE DEAL.
IN a belabored attempt to justify the adjourned session
of the legislature to vote salary grabs, the Oregouian
exhibits its eustomaiy crookedness1 and all around un
fairness to Governor "West.
In first page headlines, the Oregouian on Thursday
says, "General Salary Grab "West's Rill. leg
islature Saves Money." Then a few cases in Lake
and other counties are cited to prove that the Gill bill,
fathered by West, increased county salaries over the in
crease voted by the legislature. A list of comity salaries
as provided by the legislature and as provided by the Gill
bill follows.
Its own list proves the Oregouian a liar, for adding up
the figures for the counties given the total salaries as
fixed by the legislature over the governor's veto as
$87,200 while those provided by the Gill bill are $S5,:i(X),
a saving of $1,900 a year to taxpayers. But only part of
the counties are considered. The other counties would
show under the Gill bill a still greater reduction over the
payrolls now in effect.
The Gill bill, as drafted by the governor, classified the
counties into groups dependant upon population, assessed
valuation and area. The salaries provided for each group
were not fixed by the governor, but left blank, the amounts
to be supplied by the legislature. The sponsors for the
bill based the payroll upon the present actual average
cost.
The advantage of the bill Avas that the pay of all county
employes was automatically fixed, for when the work ex
ceeded a certain mark, from increased population and
valuation, the county moved into a higher class with high
er wages provided. It ended the biennial legislative
scramble for salary grabs, and took the county payroll out
of state politics.
The Gill bill was a most meritorious piece of legisla
tion and there is no excuse for the legislature rejecting
it to maintain the present biennial salary grab, especially
as the legislature passed its campanion bill making coun
ty treasurers tax collectors instead of sheriffs, doubling
tho work and quadruppling the responsibility without in
creasing the treasurer's pay.
The legislature raised the pay of numerous sheriffs,
including the sheriff of Jackson county, and relieved them
of much of their work and most of their responsibility,
which is shoved onto the treasurer whom it refused to
pay for the additional labor.
"Why did not tho legislature correct this injustice at
tho adjourned session instead of putting in all of its time
raising the pay of office holders who contracted with the
people to serve two or four years at the prevailing wage
scale? The treasurer is not getting a squaie deal, neither
are the people.
