Saloon
Licenses
Unsigned

A question has arisen in the minds
of several in Salem as to whether or
not eight saloons in the city can re-
main open legally hereafter until the
licenses passed on and granted by the
city council recently have been sign
ed by the mayor. =.
1t Is contended that in view Of the
fact Mayor Lachmund has failed as yet
to affix his signature to the licenses
IN question, the saloons making the
application will be required to apply
for entirely new licenses, and that
they are subject to prosecution If
they remain open for business today
or after, with regularly signed per-
mits.
Contrary to this belief, however,
the saloonmen declare that they are
operating according to the charter for
the reason the council has granted
them a License and that they have re-
celpts to show for the fee assessed by
the city. They also contend that mas
much as the members Of the council
passed favorably upon their applica-
tons, the licenses will necessarily be-
come law within ten days after their
passage, irrespective of the mayors
signature. The fact that the old IL
censes expired at midnight last night
and that the new ones have been is
sued through the usual courses pre-
scribed by the charter, the absence Of
the mayors name cannot affect the
late permits one particle, assert the
saloonmen.
The saloons said to be affected by
the unsigned licenses, are the Court,
the Annex, Butte & Son, Standard Ii
quor Co., Senate Saloon, the Bank
Cafe, Swartz & James and Peter Bach.
1t remains to be seen whether or
not Mayor Lachmund will sign the Ii
censes, as he has declared there has
been no definite conclusion in the mat
ter at the present time.

In the Senate.
The first bill taken up by the SEN
ate under the head Of general order
when it reconvened Monday afternoon
after a recess of two days was an
abolition measure, and in the prolong-
ed discussion that followed the fact
was brought out that there is wide
difference of opinion among the men,
hers of the senate as to what coun-
ty Offices should be abolished and
where the consolidation should be
done.
The senate ispractically unani-
nous in the belief that certain offic-
es should be abolished and their work
consolidated with other offices, but
how to do this and not impair the ef-
ficiency of any department is looked
upon as a monumental question ana
consideration of legislation OF this
kind is certain to take up some time
of the extra session.
1t is said there is an appeal from
all parts of the state for reducing
county offices and that the people
lare expecting some legislation to
that end. Others are of the opinion
that the people are not anxious to
have county offices abolished, but
would like to see all useless and un-
necessary deputies and assistants
who are paid by the county, removed
from office.
Register Of Deeds Bill UP
The bill seeking to abolish the Of
flee of register of deeds and combine
the work of that department with the
office of the county clerk was taken
up by the senate in the committee
of the whole Monday afternoon and a
free-for-all discussion continued on
| the measure, until adjournment was
taken at 6 clock. Several amend
M nts were proposed but none of
| them were voted on. They are still
tending and will be taken up when
| the committee resumes consideration
of the bill.
One ar the amendments was n,

squarely up to tie people and in a
way shift the responsibility from the

tha tthe county commissioners shah
call special election to vote on the
question when petitioned by 20 per
cent of the qualified electors OF each
county.
Another probable solution to the
question was presented by Senator
