A perennial Bubject of protest and grumble, ib taxation. Nobody, it seems, likes to pay taxes. But, as a rule, they who roar loudest about taxes pay least taxes, or none at all. Oregonlan. This Is the same contemptible in sult that 1b always flung by the Ore gonlan into the teeth of any man, not a capitalist, who dares to murmur at the burden of taxation. It, In 4 the first piace, is a vile slander upon honest manhood to as sert that "nobody, it seems, likes to pay taxes." Possibly the gentleman who penned the slur, and who attended bo care fully to hlB own assessment, may speak by the card so far as hlB per sonal inclinations go, but it Is an In famous declaration to accuse the en tire community of citizenship. The poor man of Portland is the most cheerful contributor to the city treasury. It has never yet happened and probably never will, that the man who is called upon for $10 to $50 or $100 In taxes attempts to evado the liquidation of the claim by resort to courts of law. He contributes his stipend like a man, and there his ob ligation ends. This class of taxpayers contributes seven-tenths of the expense of con ducting the city, county and state ad ministration, "and The Journal is here to defend them from the foul asper sions cast upon their manhood by the autocrat who has so repeatedly made use of these and similar expressions The Journal published an excerpt from Mr. Chamberlain's speech and requested the Oregonlan to explain If Mr. Chamberlain spoke the truth why certain officials were receiving, In some instances, nearly 10 times the compensation for their services contemplated by the law. Instead of making polite reply, the editor must resort to coarse Infamy, and declara' tlons false as they are cruel. But it has ever been thus with that publication. " It has brutally scourged the man of modest means. It has assisted in the creation of outrageous taxation, and added to that burden its own monstrous profits in advertising at sheriff's sale the poor man's property, and if he dared to enter protest he has been unmercifully lashed by the tyrant whip of that rich man's mouthpiece Portland Journal.

Times Mountaineer. fnsnlnn nrcumulated some wealth 'He had a beau'tiful home and had other assets, which made his total holding, as it Is understood there, about $20,000 in round numbers. Mr. Chamberlain has accommodated a friend by signing some notes, which were held In the Linn County Nation al Bank. The bank failed. To pro tect his name and credit, he turned over all his property and every dol lar he possessed In the world to dis charge the obligation, which he had taken for another man, and then ap plied himself to the payment of the balance, refusing any proposition looking toward a settlement at less that 100 cents on the dollar plus the accrued interest. Although urged so to do, he refused to compromise any obligation under which he rested. The Incident is cited by friends as indicative of his high sense of per sonal honor. Corvallis 1 lmes THfc POLICY OF SCUTTLE. PAID ANOTHER'S DEBT. Sacrificed Everything He Had to Do It George Chamberlain's Honor. There is a pretty story in the life of George E. Chamberlain. He be came a surety once for another, and in the course of time the other failed, and Mr. Chamberlain parted with everything he had in the world including his own home, in order to pay the security debt. The incident is well-known to many of Mr. Cham berlain's friends throughout the Willamette Valley. The Portland Journal published it the other day, .'hlch Is supposed to be the first time the incident has appeared in print. As told by the Journal the facts are as follows: "The attempts of a local morning aper to cast slurs on George E Chamberlain, the democratic candi date for governor, because he has not accumulated great wealth and is unable to spend thousands of dollars in his campaign, revives the story mat is so well known In Linn coun ty and throughout the Willamette Valley.

No Sediment to Foul Your Refrigerator No Disease Germs to Endanger Your Health VAN ORSDALL k ROSS it is Not What the Portland Orego nlan Makes Out It Is. But does the candidacy of Mr. Chamberlain stand for what the Ore gonian chooses to call "scuttle" (a term neither the Oregonlan nor any body else has yet defined)? The only reasonable construction that can be put upon the word would seem to be that the United States authorities should pull up bag and baggage in the Philippines and va cate. This definition Is not bus tained by the democratic state plat form or by the declaration of Mr. Chamberlain. In his Baker City speech Mr. Chamberlain said: "The Philippine Archipelago and Porto Rico have been finally added to our territory by treaty. That they belong to the United States there can be no question, and now that their annexation has become an accomplished fact, we insist that the constitution of the United States ought to follow the flag, and that they should be treated In exactly the same way and manner as inland ter ritory of the United States Is treated There should be absolute freedom of trade between this country and our Insular possessions. It is our duty to educate the Filipino up to our standard civilization, and in due course fit him to participate In his own government and affairs. "There is no reason why the pro ducts of our farm and our factory should not be sent to the Philip pines, and in return their hemp, to bacco and sugar shipped to us free from any tariff charges. As long however, as the tobacco and sugar trusts dictate legislation in the halls of Congress, it is more than human! ty can hope for to expect the tariff wall to be beaten down between this country and our possessions abroad, "The platform adopted by the con vention advocates this policy of treatment toward our insular posses sions. A man who stands on such broad principles as are outlined in the above certainly cannot be accused of advocating a retrograde policy, or of tavoring -scuttle." and it is onlv the demagogue, the individual who has no argument to offer, who would resort to such rot.

It has been very carefully figured out by callers at the democratic state headquarters that Chamberlain will win the state in his fight for gover mi 1 i ., uui. mu interesting ngures are those offered for east of the moun tains. John E. Lathrop, publicity promoter of the stato committee, re- ceivea a uunch of figures and esti mates from Thomas Crawford and others, and now says that Chamber lain will come through Eastern Ore gon to Wasco county with a majority of about 1200 or 1500. Union county, heretofore democratic by about 135, is expected to Bwell this to 400; Rn. ker county, formerly 150 democratic 1 1 expected to go this higher, to even 500; Umatilla, normally 400 republl can, is promised a stand-off, or 200 democratic: Wallowa, which is about 50 republican, is looked tn the democratic column With 100 mn. Jority. Grant, Harnoy and Malheur will make up a democratic majority of 500 between them, while there will be a stand-off in Morrow, Crook. Sher man, Gilliam and Wheeler, Lake and Klamath are expected to break even. Portland Tolegram. That Awful Word of Scuttle. Scuttle is a awful handv WOr.' for the republicans at present.

" ,,ul nave the rlnhf UVMlcu ""uumucuiiy mat, cast a nallot at the June election Won't Be Led Away. We are told that the issues of 1902 are solely those of expansion-retention of the Philippines. It will be that the "issues" In Oregon and this city are those of economy of state government; of retrenchment in the matter of conducting the affairs of Portland and Multnomah county, and of landing men in office in no wise allied with a puny clique. Broadness of purpose and spirit is requisite to good citizenship, and our friends the enemy will discover that plenty of this commodity has been stored away for use at this election. The little fellows are making stren ous effort to distract the attention of the voters of this county and city from the true issue to fasten the eyes of the public upon Manila while individual treasuries are despoiled; but the temperament of the people is so opposite to this desire that it will be strange, indeed, if the entire out fit Is not relegated to oblivion when the ballots have been cast. The election in Oregon will have no effect In any manner on the situa tion so far as the retention of the Philippines is concerned. If half a dozen states should repudiate the government in this particular the Philippines would not be discarded. Least of all would the election in a state of less than half a million pop ulation affect the conduct of a gov ernment of 80,000,000 people. Let the voters of Portland and Multnomah county not be hood winked or deceived. Reform in city and county adminis tration is the crying need at this time. Let the voter vote to vote his taxes down. Portland Journal. Colonel Raley Will Win. On the authority of the political prophets, Colonel J. H. Raley, of Pen. dleton, candidate for attorney gener al, will pass under the wire a winner, The reason assigned for this is that his opponent, a lawyer In southern Oregon, is in disrepute with his brother attorneys all through the state, who are going to serenade him on election day with an anvil chorus, every reputable lawyer in Oregon weilding a hammer. The allegation against the republican candidate is that several years ago he was cuiltv of the unpardonable sin of swindling one of the "profesh;" is so crooked and hoggish that he is not satisfied with removing the epidermis from the puonc generally but attempted to ex- tend his operations to an attorney loauuiuieu wun mm in a case. A law suit resulted, which is famous In the legal annals of Orecon. S nmntnr 1 - .muur. A Friend of the Schools. Hon Geo.

The Rooeburg Review So Considers. George Chamberlain, Candidate for Governor. If as Is now confidently expected, GcorB- E. Chamberlain be elected nSnor upon the second of June, he w need men of ability and In egrity to assist him In the conduct of state affairs. He will need men In sympathy with his policy of non est administration of the people s business. He is a lawyer of distinc tion but he will be busy with his onerous duties, and he will need a man as attorney-general who will advise him correctly upon legal ques tions needing careful Investigation, who is well versed in the law who is such a student as will go to tho bottom of every subject referred to him for opinions. When the state convention met, although there were several aspir ants for the nomination, there was one who stood forth, even above the other excellent men, and was recog nized us thoroughly qualified for the office of attorney-general. That man is Col. James H. Raley, of Pendleton. We quote here some words spoken in nominating Col Raley before. the state convention: "Select him, and he will strength en the ticket here made up. Select him, and he will honor the common wealth and you will not be sorry that you elected to the office now under" consideration such a man who has a life record abounding In all that makes the character of the American citizen admirable. He has fought the Indians over the plains and hills of Eastern Oregon. He has assisted in the development of that empire that contributes so much to the glory of Oregon. He is pre-eminent among the members of his pro fession and has had experience as a senator of Oregon during eight years of incumbency. Gentlemen, the heart of Oregon pulsates today in response to the splendid tribute that was paid to Mr. Chamberlain here in this hall last evening. It was no perfunctory nomination, and I am assured by my observations, that it will be no perfunctory act, If you nominate for the office of attorney-general a man from Umatilla county, a brilliant lawyer, a staunch friend of the common people, a loyal democrat, but a man broader than any party, James H. Raley, of Uma tilla." Col. Raley's candidacy has been enthusiastically received by the peo ple of the state. His splendid record as a legislator and his commanding position not only in the section east of the Cascades, but western and southernmost limits of the state, In sure for him strong support. Thai he will receive a tribute of esteem and good will from all parts of the state, is one of the facts that will receive ample demonstration after the ballots have been counted upon the second of June. Rosaburg Review. Weatherford Is Sanguine. J. K. Weatherford of Albany, dem ocratic nominee for Congress from the First District, was in Portland a few days ago. He has returned from a trip to Burns, Harney county, and also visited other counties en route. Mr. Weatherford brings glowing ac counts of the progress of the demo cratic campaign in Eastern Oregon, where there Is a landslide towards the entire ticket, with Chamberlain and Butcher in tho lead. Mr. Weatherford will probably accom pany Mr. Chamberlain and the other state candidates upon their tour through Lane and Linn counties, and will also canvass his district vigor ously. He is in possession of infor mation from many Western Oregon counties, which indicates steady growth of the sentiment in favor of the state democratic ticket, with practical assurances that Chamber lain will be largely in the majority. Lincoln and Grant. "The difference between the two democrats that are candidates for governor 'on the so-called republican and the so-called democratic ticket neither of which names cover enough of the principles claimed and advocated by them respectively a few years ago to be recognized by the ghostj of Buchanan or Lincoln, or Tilden or Grant as that Furnish, Who Was a Clevelnnrl dnmnnpof l.o worst kind of a democrat, bolted the nomination of Bryan and voted for Mckinley.
