SENATE TURNS DOWN
COUNTY SALARY BILL
Many Thought Governors idea Good,
But the Bill in Present Shape
ImpraCtiCable.

With Gus Moser, organization cantli-
date for governor, leading his Multno-
nah cohorts as allies to most of the
senators from Eastern Oregon, and
with the support of senator's from
specially affected Western oregon
counties, the general county salary
bill, introduced in the house by Gill, Of
Clackamas, at the request Of Cover
nor West, was defeated in the senate
this morning. The bill was a special
order Of business for 1890 o'clock.
Thompson of Crook, klamath and
Lake, has consistently opposed the
governor, and stood as a watching Ger
berus for the organization throughout
the session, reserved his speech
against the bill until the last. He was
gracious in admitting that the COVER
nor had done a lot of hard work on the
measure, and said the executive
meant well, but declared the bill i'm
practicable, even so far as being af-
feCted by conditions Of climate.
No Recommendations
The bill was reported without rec
ommendation after having been con-
sidered BY the joint county and county
and state officers cmmittee. 1t pro-
posed to divide the counties Of the
state into six classes and base the
salaries of the county officials on
the area, population and the relation
of the assessed valuation Of the coun-
ty to the assessed valuation of the
state. Multnomah county was alone in
the first class and unaffected by the
bill.
Smith, of Coos and Curry, regis
tered the first objection. He wished
to cut out all counties the assessed val
uation of which was less than one
half of one per cent Of the assessed
valuation Of the state. Kellaher and
Calkins objected, and no vote was TAX
en- on the amendment.
Next came Bartlett, Of Umatilla
Morrow and Union, and Stewart, OF
Grant, Harvey and Malheur, asserting
that the bill was unfair in that it
would cut down the salaries of the
important officials of those counties
and leave other salaries as at present.
Barrett declared that the salaries in
the counties represented by him are
satisfactory to the taxpayers, and
asked what fairer basis than the sat
isfaction Of the people could be de-
sired.
Wood, Of Washington, favored the
bill, but Lester, of Clatsop, protested
because Of a peculiar condition in
Clatsop, where labor is paid higher
than in other counties. He feared that
with the lowering Of the county sal
aries a mediocre class Of citizens
would aspire to them.
McCOlIOch In Reply.
This bill is being objected to be-
cause 1t touches the pocketbooks of
some of the county officials" declared
McColloch, of Baker. "They should be
criticised on that ground as much as
a member Of the legislature who
places his purse above the people. This
bill would raise some salaries in my
county, and 1t would reduce others,
but It would create a standard and re-
move stumbling block that has long
stood in the way Of legislation. Coun-
ty salary measures from various coun-
ties have taken up one-flfth of the
time Of this session. These things
should be considered before the bill is
voted down, because of local condi-
tions."

MOSer Scraps Back.
Senator Moser said:


while the bill doesn't affect Multi
nomah county yet because 1t affects
the different counties and | am here
as legislator for the whole state, |
shall oppose It, Raising some salaries
and lowering others in the same coun-
ty doesn't look to me like sound leg
islation."
Senator Hollis sided with those ia
yoring the measure, declaring that the
work Of the session would have been
finished had It not been for the both
ersome bills affecting county salaries
in different parts Of the state
Talks Of Marion and Lane.
In fighting the bill Senator Calkins
drew contrast between Marion and
Lane counties the only two counties
in the second class.
In the amount Of business done
and in situation Marion and Linn coun
ties are very much alike said Sena-
tor Calkns, In other respects,
which makes the bill unfair as applied
to them, they are different In Lane
county the county clerk now gets
$1,000 q year This bill would reduce
his salary to $500. In Lane county
the clerk Is also the recorder Of con.
yeyancos, while in Marion county there
is u county recorder. In Lane in 1912,
there were 2S3 cases Of registry Of
titles alone, and two or three deputies
are required especially for that work.
The same rule can't apply to both
counties You are trying to fit the
same garment onto lot of different
people, and II It can't fit Marion and
Lane, don't see how It will fit whore
half a dozen counties are placed in the
same class"

the two points is Dayton and Co.
lumbus. Water that falls on one
side of this summit flows south
to the gulf. Water falling few
feet away on the other side flows
to the great lakes.
When the southern part of the
country rose above water that sec
ton lying south of the Ohio sloped
to the west toward the Mississippi
and to the south, as shown by the
courses of the Ohio, Cumberland,
Tennessee and Mississippi rivers.
The greatest slope was to the
south.
This formation, therefore, left
the particular section in Indiana
and Ohio, where the worst of the
floods are today, the very lowest
part of the central plain and the
slope from them ran straight
south to the gulf in an almost I'M
broken line, forming a depressed
basin wide at the top and narrow
ing to the point between the APP
palachian and Ozark mountains,
from which pointai it widened west
to the Ria Grande and east to join
the depression of Florida and the
Atlantic coast.
The mammoth gully. therefore,
was the natural outlet for all

the excess moisture of vast re-
gion.
1t was on this foundation at
the top of the slope that the ice
of winter formed. 1t was here
that the rain and snow fell, vast
quantities of it, during the last
few weeks. 1t was against this
that the wind beat and held the
rain that was melting the ice in
check. And then the wind sud
denly slowed down. Its strength
was not great enough to hold
back the waters any longer. And
the water poured forth over the
land and engulfed it.
That is the explanation of the
flood. The water will flow on,
some of 1t will sepe down into
the soil as it goes and its volumes
will be reduced. 1t IS hardly pos
sible that so much will be lost
in this way, however, that there
will not be enough left to flood

the Mississippi and break over
the levees.
1t may find some sidetrack and
more of it may be seeped up than
we have estimated. Owing to the
fact that much of the Ice has gone
from southern section of the route
it must follow, the ground there
might be in condition to receive
more of it. But a further flood,
not so disastrous, seems almost
inevitable along the lower por-
lions of the great hollow, for the
force of the water will not be able
to spend itself over wide area
until after the narrow neck be-
tween the Ozarks and the Appa-
lachians has been passed.
North of the Ohio-Indiana
ridge, the same flood conditions
prevail, but are sot so severe be-
cause they drain directly into the
great lakes and there are more
channels provided for the drain

BY ALBERT FORD FERGUSON.
Written for the Times.
What is the reason for the great
flood that swept death and de-
structiOn before il in Ohio and
Indiana?
Why is it that great walls Of
water annually hurl themselves
through the Ohio valley or the
Mississippi valley?
When the continent of North
America was raised from the WA
ters that covered the globe the
peaks of the Appalachian noun
tains appeared first; then came
parts of the Rockies, and then
the central plain, the first part of
which to appear was the part now
stricken with flood.
All that part of this country
south of the Ohio river remained
under, water long after Ohio and
Indiana emerged. But on the
part of dry land just made was a
ridge, the summit of which is
north oflthe central parts of Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois. This sum-
NIT reaches height of 1000 feet
above sea level at Bellefontaine,
o., and the slope is SO rapid to
the south that Cincinnati Is only
