GRAND JURY TO PROBE
Charge OF WASTE AT.
PEMTENTIARY, ALSO
VIII Investigate Parole Selling
Scandal By Orders Of
Governor WithycOnlbe.

The probe of the state penitentiary,
being made by the Marion county
grand jury, will not stop with the pa
role-selIng scandal. 1t will be broad
ened to include the entire management
of the institution. The jurors, at is
said, will seek information as to the
part that politics has played in con
nection with the disturbances which
have continually marked the present
administration, and as to whether
there has been waste and extravaganza
and, if so, who is responsible for them.
This turn in the investigation de-
veloped last night when District Attor-
ney Gehihar received a letter from At
torney General Brown, pointing out
that it is the duty of the grand jury
to go into the entire management of
the prison.
s'You will remember, and the records
will disclose, = says the attorney gen
eral in his letter, "that while we were
carrying out the instructions of the
governor in making the Investigation
concerning the alleged barter and sale
of paroles and pardons, many COM
plants were made to the committee,
having relation to the administration
of the affairs of the penitentiarS
1.-THE making Of an inquiry concerne
ing the management of the peniten-
tiary is beyond the scope of our in
struction from the governor; our duty
under the instruction was to make a
rigid inquiry concerning the charge of
extorting money from the inmates OF
the states prison. Nevertheless, as law
Officers of the state, we cannot over
look the plain provisions Of the Ore
gon code referring to the duty Of grand
juries to inquire into the management
of public prisons -
Governor Withycombe has stated
that there has been extravaganza and
waste at the prison, and for that rea-
son he has discharged Warden Murphy
1t is said the grand jury will go into
that question into detail and endeavor
to fix the responsibility.

TAXES ON 6S PER CENT
OF VALUATION IN 1919
Ratio Fixed By Tax Connnis-
sion Is Same For Next Year
As This Year.

Public utilities in Marion county will
pay taxes next year on 6S per cent of
their assessed valuation, as that is the
ratio fixed by the state tax commits
sion for this county. The ratio is the
same for next year as it was this year.
The ratio fixed by the tax commits.
sion corresponds to the percentage of
cash value on which other property in
the county is assessed. The commission
finds that property in Marion county
is assessed on an average of IS per
cent of its cash value.
The property of pvblic utilities is as
sessed by the commission at full cash
value and then they pay taxes on the
basis of the ratio fixed for each coun-
ty. Ratios have been tentatively fix
ed for all but three counties as fol-
lows, compared with ratios for this
vaar.

Patrol VIII Furnish Protection
for Jersey Coast Fisheries

The fishing interests off the New
Jersey coast are to receive special
protection against the possible raw
ages of German submarines. This
announcement was received today In
Newark by William 8. Tyler, federal
food administrator for New Jersey, In
an official communication from
Washington.
The operation of the U-boats OF
the Jersey shore has been extensive,
but while they have not as yet sent
any OF u fishing boats to the bot
tom, they have created some fear
among the fishermen. Tho fact, too,
that they might seriously curtail the
fish supply Is taken into consideration
and It is very largely to prevent any
curtailment in this. either by sinkings
or by frightening the fishermen, that
action is taken4
The Washington notice to Mr.. Tyler
with regard to protection for the
fishing feet Is as follows:
las O food conservation measure

vessels by German submarines, the
Navy Department has established a

much uneasiness among the men has

some cases have induced them to re-

is not easily kept from the sea
and II is expected that his courage
and knowledge hat the jackies are
on guard will keep the fish catch up
to normal.
The naval patrol will be accom-
plished without weakening the con-
