Expect Early Results.
With olornly but dry weather
prevailing until late afternoon the
voting was on today in ono of the
moHt apathetic stute und county
primary elections In tho city's and
county's history, the voting having
been begun at 8 a. m.. and the
ballot boxes to close at 8 p. m.
As hul been anticipated the vut-
lng was light generally, so far us
could be learned up to early this
afternoon, and spotted with some
city precincts showing a compara
tively large morning and forenoon
vote, and others very light ones.
However, if rain continues to
hold off until 8 p. m., henvy vot
ing may be the rule in both city
and county precincts in late after
noon and early evening. The local
election experts, prior to today,
had forecasted only a 20 to 30
per cent vote of the Jackson coun
ty registration.
Dy 11 a.m.. tho Washington
school voting precinct, one of tho
large ones of the city, had cast 76
votes.
Tho North Main street precinct,
with voting place at Klchtner's
garago, reported only 37 votes by
11 o'clock. Tho city hall precinct
had only 25 votes by 11:30 p.m.
Tho West Medford precinct voting
place on South Peach street, had
about 27 votes by 8 a. m.
The voting In the rurul districts,
and other municipalities outside of
Medford was also reported very
light up until early aftornoon, but
was expected to grow much In
voHtmB-1n the late afternoon and
early, ovonlng.
Site Main Issue.
The court house site question
vied with the voters In Interest
with tho gubernatorial contest,
especially with the Medford voters,
and the main Interest in the latter
contest was felt In the Corbett and
Norhlail candidacies. Tho lead
ing partisans of the court house
site controversy, as well as of the
leading gubernatorial candidates,
were busy all day In getting out
a vote as large as possible for
their respective fide of the con
troversy and favorite candidate.
The bulletining of the election
returns will be begun Immedi
ately after the closing of the polls
at 8 p. m., announcements to be
broadcast by KMBD and the Mail
Tribune office on South Kir street.
Hy 11 p. m. or midnight, it Is
conjectured that the outcome of
tho Btate contests and possibly the
county Issues will he known.
Due to tho fact that the county
han' a number of double election
boards this year, and better elec
tion boards in personnel than gen
erally, the city and county returns
are expected to be In earlier than
In previous elections.
Because of It being election day
and the banks, courthouse, city

closed all dny, In conformity with
the state law. and tho general
election unrest, tho business dis
trict whs very quiet generally, es

AN
County Among First Six of
State for Appraisals
Under State Program
County Officials Co-operating
in Huge Work.
SALEM, Ore.. May 16. OP) In
six Oregon counties the macninery
of the state tax office is now In
motion on a program that will
ultimately, the commissioners say,
revolutionize tho state's taxation
system. To standardize- assess
ments and equalize taxes Is the
goal, so thut tnxatlon Imposed on
the various classes of property
will be uniform throughout the
state.
Personal inspection and apprai
sal, by a stato or a county official,
of every building In Oregon, from
tho most remote desert shuck to
the highest towering edifice In the
city of Portland, may seem like
an impossible task. Yet tho tax
commission has started out, begin
ning this spring,' to do that very
thing. And thut is .only part of a
greater program, for every acre of
land, every mill und mine, and alt
other property will , be similarly
appraised. '
Tho counties In which the work
has started ure Multnomah, Clack
amas, Clatsop, Jackson, . Klamath
and Wasco.
Keqiilro Somo Veurs -
The tax equalization- program of
the commission Is - directly under
the supervision of. Commissioner
Churles V. Galloway. While, it Is
expected that soma : work will 1 bo
done In every county this year, the
completion of the . appraisal pro
gram, he says, will require some
years. In Multnomah county tax
offictuls believe five years will' be
required to appraise' buildings
ulono.
, State and 'county officials -.wills
collaborate In the work, with the
stato office operating through tho .
office of county assessors. For a .
short time in each county a repro- .
scntatlve of the state office will
work with a county man, Instruct
ing him In - appraisal methods.
After that the county ; men will
work alone, with the state men
visiting tho counties occasionally
In a supervisory way.
In the appraisal of buildings
each building, whether a residence, '
factory or business structure, will
be scrutinised both outsldo and
Inside. Operatives will be guided,
particularly for residences, by a
specially prepared- manual that
simplifies tho work.: . ' ,
Commissioner Oalloway explalnu
that the appraisal is not concerned
with the question whether -tho re
sult will be Increased or decreased
assessed valuation. Uniformity Is
the only object.. By use of the
manual It Is claimed that different
appraisers calculating the valua
tion of similar types of buildings
will vary from each other only In
a mall degree,
