GOVERNOR ATTACHES
. SIGNATURE TO GO BILLS
Kelley Bill Giving Tax Collect
ing Back to Shenffs In
Cluded In List

About go bills were signed and filed
by the governor yesterday among which
was house bill IA, by Kelly, of Hood |
River and Wasco, which restores to the !
sheriffs Of the several counties the |
duties of tax collector which is the |
measure which caused so much strife
upon the floor of the house and was
finally passed by both houses with an
emergency clause attached. After it
had gone to the governor, however, it
was recalled in house and emergency
clause amputated, the senate receding
from its action in attaching the amend
ment, and the bill will not become eff
fective now until May 81, unless the
referendum is invoked upon it, which is
not at all unlikely as a merry war has
sprung up between the county treas
urers and sheriffs over the salary ques.
