WHAT THEY COST.
In Benton And What in Other Coun.
ties General Management and
Some Offieesa

The bill introduced for reduction
of the salaries of all Benton county
officials, makes interesting the COM
parative county expenses of Benton
as contrasted with. that of other
counties, and also the cost of some
of the Benton county ofhcesas COM
pared with the same Offices in 9TH
er counties. Given below are fig
ures showing the cost of the sher-
if S Office, the clerk S Office and the
total county expenses, roads and
bridges not included, in each of
the counties of the state. They are
for the year 1903, 1904 not yet be-
ing available, and are from the
published report of the secretary of
state for that year. The figures
show that Benton is probably more
economically managed than any
other county of its importance and
1 wealth in Oregon. Some of the
counties with but little more oc-
. casion to spend money, save that
they are larger in area and popula-
ton, spend three times as much in
conducting county affairs, as
does Benton. In almost all Of them
the cost of the clerks and sheriff
offices is hundreds of dollars more
per year than is the case il
Benton. But eight counties in the
state are conducted on as small ex
pense, towit: Columbia, Crook
Curry, Lake, Lincoln, Sherman,
Ti11amook and Wheeler. Ali are
either new or very sparsely settled
counties, with but small resources,
and smaller occasion for spending
money.
