81 capitation tax from all male in
habitants 21 years old and over.
Third, to list the qualified voters OF
each voting precinct. In discharg-
ing the later duty, however the law
requires and the notice given by the
assessor specifies. that, each voter
shall be examined under oath as to
his age, residence, naturalization
ETC. before his name can be listed
as a voter. If man was away
from home when the assessor called
to collect the capitation tax and list
his property. he would certainly be
unable to make answer under oath
to any question of age, time of resi-
dence in the state, county etc, and
he could not expect his name to be
placed on the registration list even
if his capitation tax was paid in adj
vance for twenty years.
Gas to the merits of the registra-
ton law, 1 have nothing to say, and
I a mvery willing to acknowledge
any mistakes that have been made in
my Office in transcribing the names
from the blanks into the books, but
I am unwilling to be blamed for the
defects of the law itself or the mis-
understanding which some people
have of what the law is"

GOFFNAn TALKS
REGISTRATION

.sWhv are so many Salem voters
not registered" is question that
was asked Deputy County Assessor
/. W. Coffman.
"There are three chief reasons
replied the assessor. first, a great
many voters did not avail them
selves of the opportunity to register,
being away from home when the
assessor called and neglecting to
have their names listed afterward ;
second, few moved out of the pre-
cinct in which they were registered
in the spring and of course their
names did not appear on the voting
lists of the precinct in which they
were qualified voters on election day.
Then it is doubtless true that very
small percent of the registrations
made by the assessor were through
error in transcribing the names en-
teed in the wrong precincts or dis
tricts.
"The main reason for light
registration. however,. continued
the assessor. was the Indifference
Of the voters themselves and the
mistaken idea which many profess
cd to have that the payment of the
cGpitation tax entitled a man to vote
whether he was registered or not.
That there might be no misuuder-
standing on this point notices were
published in The newspapers, Of
which the following is a copy:

Complaint has been made to this
office that some of the road machines
are not properly sheltered, in fact,
not sheltered at all. These ma
chimes are expensive in original
cost. and they should be properly
cared for. 1t is stated those who
have charge of them are given an al
iowance for storage in bad weather
and especially during the winter.
IF this be true they should be com
PEELED to put them under roof at

vision has been made, such a pro
vision should be made at once and
then the county court should see that
the order is obeyed. The county
needs more of these machines, but
should first see to it that those il
has are taken care of.
