THE GOVERNOR WOULD
READJUST SALARIES

Placing Multnomah county in a
class by itself, and dividing the 9TH
er counties of the state into four
classes, Governor West will submit to
the legislature a bill for a readjust-
ment of the salaries of county Off
GERS, The bill will propose that the
salaries be fixed according to the
area, the population and the assessed
valuation Of property in the respec-
tive counties.
Should the bill pass the fixing Of
the salaries in the several classes Of
counties will be left to the legislature.
The area of county serves two
purposes, said the governor, "The
larger a county the more expensive 1t
IS to travel about the county, and If
a county is very large, it shows that
u mas less development and less pop
ulatlon than other counties.
The plan is to ascertain in each
county what relation the per cent Of
the assessed valuation bears to the
per cent of valuation in the. state as
a whole"
Placing Multnomah county as the
one county in the first of the five
classes, the governor would not con-
slder 1t in making the new adjust
ment of salaries, but would put that
question up to the legislature.
IN the second class would be all
counties that figure over 4 per cent.
an this class alone would be Lane,
Malheur and Marion.
In the third class would be those
counties figuring over per cent and
under per cent, namely, Clackamas,
crook, Douglas, Harney, Jackson,
hlamath, Lake, Linn and Umatilla.
IN the fourth class would be the
counties figuring over per cent and
under 3 per cent. They would be
nBasKer, Coos, Grant, Union, Wasco,
washington and Yamhlll.
The fifth class would embrace those
counties figuring under per cent
,iney would be Benton, Clatsop, Co
lqumDia, Curry, Gillian, Hood River,
josephine, Lincoln, Morrow, Polk,
sherman, Tillamook Wallowa, Wheel
The question for the legislature to
ugclde," said the governor, "will be-
muat are fair salaries for officials in
'ne different classes?"
