IMPORTANT RESOLUTIONS.

|
Following are few Of the many i'm
portant resolutions adopted by the
County Judges Convention recently
held in Portland:
There should be elected prosecuting
attorney for each county, and that he
should be paid salary by the county,
and that be should not receive any fees
or other emolument for his services,
other than his salary, and that his
duties should be prescribed by law;
that one of his duties should be to give
legal advice to the county court, when
called upon by the court, and that he
should prosecute or defend, as the case
may be, all cases for and on behalf OF
his county under the direction of the
county court, without additional COM
pensation, and that the Office of district
attorney be abolished.
When assessment matters we're taken
up and the question of whether any levy
to sell real property for delinquent taxes
should be made was discussed, it was
stated that the sheriff of Clatsop county
had recently presented bill to the
county court for $9624 for making 1924
levies on separate pieces of property.
Owing to this large bill it was urged
that the law be so amended as not to
necessitate a levy. Other points raised
were: Whether the assessors should
not be appointed by the county courts
at salaries fixed by the Legislature;
whether real property should be assessed
by the smallest legal subdivisions with
ont regard to ownership, instead Of as
under the present system, by which
property is assessed to the owners;
whether taxes should be made payable
in installments instead Of in a single
payment; whether penalty to the ex-
tent of two or three times the present
rate of interest should not be charged
on all delinquent taxes; whether there
should not be some change made in ex-
tending the tax on property for each
fund.
That the various assessors be paid
salaries instead of per diem; that the
law fix and prescribe their duties, and
the said salary shall be full compensa-
tion and shall include mileage and ex-
penses.
That no witness shall be entitled to
any mileage or per diem in criminal
cases in Justices courts, unless he re-
sides more than three miles from the
place of holding court.
That the law related to the compensa-
tion of witnesses and jurors in the coun-
ty and justice courts, be amended 80 as
to allow each witness or juror 81 per day,
and mileage as above provided.
That the law be SO amended that real
property shall be assessed without refer
ence to the name of the owner; that
said assessment shall be lien on said
realty from the date of its assessment,
to wit: March l., at a. m.

al property of the owner within the
state of Oregon or real property within
the county wherein he resides, shall be

out reference TO the property assessed.
That no levy upon real property shall
be necessary in order TO sell the same
for taxes.

not paid at the time the same become
