ASSESSOR TO COLLECT TAxEs.
Able Discussion of Taxation Issue by
Assessors of Oregon

lively tilt was precipitated in the
assessors convention this morning by
the motion of Assessor Rice of MARI
on county to amend section l2 of the
report of the state tax commission BY
the treasurers shall be made tax col
lectors, says the oregon Daily Jour
nal The motion further provided
that the section as amended should
be recommended to the legislature
for enactment into law.
Assessor Payne of Malheur op-
posed the amendment, saying that he
had all the responsibility he wanted
i'm properly assessing property. He
also urged that it was an injustice
TO the sheriffs of the small counties
to reduce their salaries. as would
have to be done in case the collection
of taxes was taken from them. Mr.
Payne vigorously insisted that the
law stand as it is now.
Assessor Stogsdill of Wasco made
a strong argument against the pro-
posed change. taking the position
that If the collection of taxes was
taken from the sheriff and given to
either the assessor or the treasurer,
1t would result in no reduction of the
sheriffs salary. but would certainly
bring about an increase in the salary
of the official to whose office the
work was added. thus resulting in
saddling an additional burden upon
the people with no corresponding
benefit to be derived
Assessors Sigler of Multnomah and
shelton of Gillian favored relieving
the sheriff of the collection of taxes.
both insisting that assessors were as
rule qualified for the duty and that
the collection of taxes naturally be-
longed To the assessors office.

UNCOVERTNG HERCULANEUNI.
In 1900 Years Lava Mud Has Become
as Solid as Cement.

Rome, Jan. 12.-The lava covering
the ancient city of Herculaneum has
now been removed and today the old
city stands out IN something like its
pristine glory. 1t has been found
that the streets of Hercuaneum are
practically walls of solid concrete
and the buildings are sealed with
barriers and roofs of concrete, for
the lava mud has become stone with
the lapse OF time. Much of the exca-
walton work had to be done with drill
and blast ana owing to this several
priceless art treasures were destroyed.
The American citizens of Rome at
meeting today decided TO form ap
underground museum, where all the
uncovered art treasures will be ex,
hibited.
