SUPT. SAVAGE WRITES
OF JOSEPHINE SALARIES

Editor Courier, Dear Sir: There
appeared an article in your paper a
few days ago stating that Senator j..
c. Smith had introduced a bill in the
Oregon legislature allowing the sher-
in OF the county 10 cents per mile
for every mile travelled in service in
civil cases want to inform the
public that that bill fixes the salar-
les OF all the county officers of Jose
phine county, reading in part as fol-
lows:
Section /. That section 3076 of
Lords Oregon laws be amended so
as to read as follows: Sec. SO76.
The county officers of Josephine
county shall receive as compensation
for their services the following an
nual salaries:
1. County judge 5000.
3. County treasurer $500.
5. Sheriff $4,000 (a) deputy SIS
per month. The sheriff shall be en-
titled to receive 10 cents per mile for
each mile travelled in serving process
or papers in civil cases, etc.
s. County school superintendent
$500; (a) the officers here mention
ed shall receive no other fee or COM
pensation except the sheriff, etc.
| would like to see all the officers
of this county paid salaries commen-
surate with the duties and response
bilities of each office. Such now is
not the case. Several are much un-
derpaid; among them is the office of
the county school superintendent, in
this case one of the most important
Offices in the county-the only office
requiring an educational test as one
OF it's qualifications, paying its Off
GERS less wages per month than many
OF the smaller school districts OF the
county pay their inexperienced
teachers.
These salaries can be changed only
by act Of legislature and the time Is
ripe right now to do it. would ask
those who read this article, who want
every office to pay its officer a just
compensation, to write to Senator j.
C. Smith and to Representative
Blanchard, Salem, Oregon, telling
them your ideas and ask them to fix
these salaries as you believe COM
mensurate with the duties and re-
sponsibilities of the office. Do it
now.

wE Lar ~ DAIRY PRopucrs

All over the country the fact that
Wisconsin has moved to first place as
the chief dairy psoducts state is at
tracing attention and receiving news
paper comment. This rank is awarded
to the state by the figures Of the census
bureau, these figures comparing the
status of the industry in 1904 and 1903
and the decade Is99-1909.
Several features about the report are
of interest. Most striking is the rate
of increase; for the 10000 period it is
79. ; per cent, which is exceeded only
by that Of Minnesota, which is SO ) per
cent Michigan follows Wisconsin,
with II per cent. For the decade 1899
1903 the growth of the industry amount
ed to 1877 per cent.
Another interesting fact revealed by
the figures of the report is that the
number of dairy establishments rela-
tive to output is greater in Wisconsin
than in other states. This may be in
part explained by the prevalence of CO.
operative control of the industry in
this state, This form OF control has
increased during the period from q
per cent in 1904 to 32. z in 1909.
One inference from the figures is that
milk is more profitably used in the
manufacture Of butter or condensed
milk than in the manufacture of cheese.
One reason for this is undoubtedly to
be sought in the increased home con-
sumption which has been noted with
regard to all native agricultural pro
ducts AS dairy products in the form
of milk and butter are more essential
articles of food than cheese, that form
Of the industry would naturally become
more profitable.
To the people Of Wisconsin the figures
viii not come as a surprise. Tine effect
upon the country viii be greater in that
it win help spread Wisconsin methods
Of conducting and fostering the indus
try. The country would gain the c5y
while the state could not lose. Mil

BIC INCREASE m srATE wARps

The insane population of Wisconsin
increased lS8 during the past fiscal
year. Statistics compiled by Secretary
Tapins, state board Of control, for the
year ending June 80, show an insane
population, of 1889 in the state as COM
pared to 6, 851. During the past few
years there has been a steady increase
of insane in state and county institutions
but this is accounted for by the fact
that the state is furnishing better IA
cilities for care of patients, and many
who were previously cared for at home
are now sent to institutions. At the
state hospital, Mendoza, are 592 pa
tents, of whom 800 are males and 232
females. Six hundred and ten patients
are in the northern hospital at Winnie
bago, of which 1888 are males and 227
are females. There are 5,204 in the
thirty-four county asylums, of whom
2, 949 are males and 2,261 are females.
Six more women were in the state
prison at Waupun at the close of the
fiscal year than year previous. The
present prison population is 735 of which
I'll are males and "a females.
The most pronounced increase in pop
ulation has been at the home for feeble
minded. at Chippwa Falls, where 1,OO6
persons are being cared for, 476 males
and $50 females. Last fiscal year the
total population was 987, of which 527
were females and $50 were males.
There are 123 children in the state
school at Sparta, decrease of 81.
The population of the Wales tuber-
culosis sanitorium remains stationary.
There is always long waiting list of
applicants On June 80. there were
159 patients compared to l23 a year
