THE GRAFT OVERDONE.
Ab bad been expected, in puttinii In
' his claim for publishing the delinquent
tax liBt, Conner charged the county 25
cent! per line lor the large sized type be
need for the purpose, although accord
log to bla positive statement made in bin
isaue of Jan. 23, 1002, it should have
been but 12 oonts per line. Mowover, as
we have repoatedly Bhown in title and
other Instances that be has no regard
for the truth, or oven matters of record,
thiB Inetance la not at all surprising.
Yet, it il somewhat etrange that the
county court Bhould endorse his graft as
tbey now have done, by paying hia claim
Ip tall, although they might have saved
..over $100 to the taxpayers, and still
have dons no one any injustice, by ac
cepting bia first offer, which would have
been ample oampensation (or the work
and over twice as much aa he ia receiv
lng for a similar piece of work taken
elnco on a competitive bid. What ia es
pecially atrange in this matter ia that the
court eo far exceeded their lawful au
thority in endorsing litis graft. We
quote from the session lawe of Oregon for
1001, on pages 230 and 261 aa follows:
Section 24. That, immediately upon
the return, (of the tax list) the sheriff
Bhall proceed to give notice of the aale of
real property for delinquent taxea there
on, which shall he held not later than
March 1 of each yoar, by causing to be
published once each week for four suc
cessive weeks, in a newspaper which
shall be deaignated by the county court
aa the most likely to give ectual notice
to delinquent taxpayers, a notice stat
ing the time and place of the sale and a
description of the several parcels of real
property to be Bold, the amount of taxes,
Interest to date of Bale and penalties ac
crued against each tract, and the name
of the owner, II known, or person, It any,
to whom taxed. Hut ii there be no news
paper in which the county court on pro
cure anch notice to be published for a
price not exceeding twenty-five cents
per line, nonpareil type, the sheriff
shall, upon their order reciting such
faeta, poet written notices of such sale,
containing the same matters as herein
before aet forth, in four public places in
hia county for (our. weeka before aaid
sale, and noticee so given ahail have the
the same force and effect aa though the
tame had been published aa hereinbefore
provided.
Section. 26. Before caueing any such
publication, the connty court shall enter
into a contract with the newspaper un
dertaking to make the publication,
which contract shall apecily the rate,
and to which may he added an under
taking with aollicient auretiea to be ap
proved by the county court, to publish
auch delinquent list according to the
contract.
It will be noted that the law strictly
B peel flea that noi txcttting tS crnf per
lint shall be paid lor publishing the mat
tar In Nonpnrril typt, yet, aa we recently
demonstrated in these columns, the
riaindealer naed type which waa one-
fourth larger than nonpareil, making
proportionately that many more linea.
Conner thns received for 780 linea aet In
the large type, $105. The same list If
et In nonpareil type, which the law
ays shall be naed, would have made but
024 lines, which, at the maximum law
lul charge, would have amounted to but
$166. It will thus be eeen at a glance
that the court exceeded the lawful limit
by $30, and justice to the taxpayers de
mands that this latter sum he returned
to the county treasury at once. With
such an example aa this before them will
the clltrens of Douglas county have any
Inrther cense to wonder why the conn
ty debt ia increasing, why Ihey are called
upon to pay over $20,000 more of taxea
this year than last, or why the preaeut
year's lax levy ia the hlgheat ever known
here? II In their deeire to aid a party
organ the county board overlooked the
provisions ol the statutes published
herein, let them say ao and alro prompt

Anonymous Discussion.
Editor Review: I have do wleb for
a diacueaioo with tbe editor of tbe Plain
dealer, and certainly not an unfriendly
one. ,1 have bad a casual acquaintance
with him, and a very pleasant one. .but
I like consistency. I think it a jewel,
and aee no reason why it abould not ap
ply in political diecuEsione aa well aa in
all the other affairs of life. In bla issue
of March (ltht be condemns In severe lan
guage what he calls tbe unscrupulous
methods ol diBoasaing anonymously po
litical questions. He mentions a num
ber of contributions that have appeared
in the Review from time to time, and ap
pears to question the propriety of such
communications. FerbapB be did not
realize that he wbb ae indefinite as to the
identity of tbe persona he intended to
cenBure aa thia correspondent waa as to
the authorebip of his communication.
But I beg to take issue with him in re
gard to tbe impropriety of such commu
nications as long as tbey are not per
soda I, abusive or slanderous. I have
known men high in official station te do
so, and tbey no doubt considered it a
legitimate privilege in as mnch aa each
communication muBt be signed by
tbe author in order to have tbem in
serted in the paper. So if it appears be
fore tbe public anonymously It make a
tbe writer no leas responsible to an out
raged public or an injured individual
than if it was signed by tbe write, pub
licly. I have no idea who he meant,1
certainly not mysolf, for two reasons.
First, X am not entitled to tbe blub com
pliment he paid tbe writer, and second
ly, 1 have alwayB contended for a judi
cious expenditure of money on our roads
and bridges. That I know will amount
to thousands of dollars, and I- believe
the safety of the lives of our citizens de
mand it. My censure of tbe county
board has alwaye been for not having
spent money in making repairs. I am
not an advocate of false economy It la
la soaiH respects worse than unnecessary
expenditure.
But what I object to i tbe inconsist
ency ol his pretensions, and would ask
him if it is any worse to write auony.
mous political articles criticizing parties
and cliques, or even a county board,
than it is to publish in bU paper a bitter
personal attack (purporting falsely to
come from one of my neighbors) on my
self, and when I, at the earnest solicita
tion of a number of republicans who
were accused ot having written it, asked
for a disclosure of the identity ot tbe
writer, it was not given. This article
impeached my integrity, accused me of
outraging my honeet convictions on the
altar of ambition and wbb both reproach
ful and humiliating in the extreme. I
refer to the attack made on J. M. Robin
son in the Plaindealer of Aug. 1, 1901.

Pullman Ordinary Sleeper,
The tourist travel between the East
and the Pacific Coast has reached enor
mous proportions in the last tew years,
and calls (or a special class of equipment.
To meet this demand the Pnllmau Com
pany has issued from its shops what it
ttH'tiuically culls the "Pullman Ordinary
Sleeper." These cars appear similar to
the regular sleepers being built on the
same plan, but not furnished with the
same elegance. They are equipped with
mattresses, blankets, sheets, pillows,
pillowcases, towels, combs, brushes,
etc., requiring nothing of the kind to be
furnished by the passengers. Each car
has a stove for making tea and coffee
and doing "light housekeeping, " and
each section can be fitted with an ad
justable table. A uniformed porter
accompanies each ear, his business be
ing to maks up berths, keep the car
clean, and look after the wants and
comforts of the passengers In each ot
the trains which are dispatched daily
from Portland by the O. R. & N. Co. is
to be found-one ol these "Pullman Ouli
nary Sleepers." Theee care attached to
the "Chicago-Portland Special" goes
through to Chicago without change, and
tbe one in tb "Atlantic Express" runB
to Kansas City without change. Pas
sengers in this car for Chicago change to
a similar car at Granger.
Much ot tbe first claBB travel is being
carried in these cars, the rates being
lower, and the Borvice nearly equal to
that in tbe palace eleeperB.
