PEST HUNTERS
Salary System To Free
Country of Predatory
Animals Thought better
Than Bounty Paying.

The salaried hunter system Is
far more effective in Kidding the
country of predatory animal pests
than the bounty system In force
in Oregon today, according to
Stanley q. Jewett, predatory
animal inspector, with headquar-
ters in Portland. In letter to
Secretary Of State Kozer. Mr..
Jewett points out that more than
10000 predatory animals have
been killed by government hunt
erH and trappers In this state, on
which the state has not paid one
cent Of bounty.
AT the present price of coyote
skins practically every trapper
will continue his work during the
fur season but even with the
present bounty no trapper can
make living during the spring
and summer months, while the
salaried hunter can be kept on
the job 10 months of the year In
the areas where the work Is
actually needed Jewett points
out.
Seven Of the principal stock
raising states Of the union have
adopted the salaried d-hunter sys-
tenn and are not paying bounty.
II Oregon is to appropriate
large sum each year to keep some
of the homesteaders and settlers
on their claims must say that we
are in a very bad fix indeed. I"
Jewett explains that his depart
ment has made no special effort
to get large numbers of coyotes
but that the men under his direc-
tion have been placed In localities
where these animals were actually
doing damage to the live stock.

100 State Troopers

eeL 3 A. White, adjutant gem
sSr )regon, left Salem this aft
~ for Portland, to take
cna. of the detachment of 100
national guardsmen from that city
who are to leave Portland at
o'clock this afternoon for patrol
duty in Astoria. The need for
troops to augment the local police
authorities there fto keep order
and prevent looting was declared
to be great this afternoon.
General White announced that
every resource of the national
guard would be offered to assist at
Astoria, not only to keep order,
but to alleviate all Of the suffer-
ing and hardship. Guard supplies,
such as tents, beds and bedding
are being rushed TO the stricken
city.
1t is believed here that Roy Rit-
ner, acting governor, has already
gone to Astoria. He was report
ed en- route to Salem early this
morning, but had not arrived at 2
O'Clock this afternoon and all at
tempts to locate him had failed.
Sam Kozer, secretary Of state,
whose home is in Astoria, left this
morning for that city as soon as
he received news Of the catas-
trophe.
T. A. Raffety, head of the state
traffic squad, rushed north to as
sumo personal supervision OF
handling traffic over the lower Co
lumbia highway. Reports from
Portland and other points along

COUNTY TAXES
TO Be $4,000
OVER LAST YEAR

The county and state taxes Of
Marion county for 1923 will be-
$33,367.13 higher than for the
year 1922.
This does not necessarily mean
that taxes will be higher next year
as the assessed value of the county
for 1921 was $42,091057, while
for 1922 1t was $42,290,019.
If the taxes for next year are
higher, it will depend upon
amounts voted by individual
school and road districts and the
vote Of towns and cities for i'm
provements.
This increase in the amount OF
state and county taxes is due to
the fact that there has been an in
crease Of $8663 on interest on
road bonds over last year and
$14,S 9,20 increase for the schools
of the county. Other increases
are for work done in road districts
by the county, including building
Of bridges, ferries and needed i'm
proyements.
The county government expense
will be $19.S36.82 less than the
previous year, due to the fact
there will be no elections or i'm
provements on county buildings. :
If any district has an increase
Of taxes next year, 1t will be due
to the fact that the district or
town has voted upon itself taxes
for schools, roads or improve
ments.

the budget committee, as provided
by law, the committee. composed
Of ]. A. Baker OF Salem, T. b..
