Salem certainly needs a big com

You cannot extend certain privileges
to one and deny ther other. The ob

It the members of the Illlhee club

whatever lines they see fit. Hut If the
Illlhee club should consolidate with

Accuses Him of Drafting Salary Grab
blag BUI, When the Legislature
Fixed the Amounts.
Friends of Governor West resent the
accusation that was made against the
governor In todayfs Oregonlan, that
he was the author of a salary grab
bill, In drafting the 0111 county meas
ure. It Is pointed out that the governor
had nothing to do with designating
what salaries were to be paid county
officials. The bill, with that excep
tion, was the executive's product. The
salaries designated were fixed In the
house by the representatives from the
respective counties. The govornor,
whon he drafted the bill, many weeks
before the session, stated to news
paper men that the fixing of the sal
aries would be left to the legislature,
His plans In that regard! were consist
ently followed.
The main realure or tne tun, as
drafted by the governor, was that the
salaries of count yi officials should be
fixed according to the population and
area of the counties and the percent
age of the assi'ssed valuation as re
lated to the assesed valuation of tho
state.
Since the article published In the
Portland paper pertains chiefly to
Lake county conditions, tho personali

on personal grounds, ueemu to bo be
