TBS FAULT OF TBS LAW.
A. grant many complaints are being
received by the sheriff regarding the
amount of taxes, and unjustly eo.be
cause that official hits nothing to do
with the amount of tax each man has
to pay. It is his duty, only, to collect
the amount that appears oq the tax
roll, and he has no instructions or
authority to change it. The fault,
- perhaps to considerable extent, lies in
the cumbersome law which provides
for and maintains a stale board of
equalisation, which disregards values
' placed on property, real and personal,
by the county assessor, in order to
equalise values over the state. It ap
pear! useless for the assessor to place
a value on property, since the state
board has power to, and never fails to
fix it up to suit itself. Every year it
; becomes more and more apparent that
two valuations should be placed on
property one for state and one for
county purposes rand confine the
state board's action to the value only
for state purposes,
By this method the valuation for
county purposes could be fixed by the
county board at such an amount as
would raise sufficient revenue without
having to pay more than the connty's
just proportion of state tax. Under
the present system if the assessed
valuation of property in a particular
county is high, that county must nec
essarily pay more than its proportion
of the revenues for current expenses.
Besides this, such a change would
how greater gross valuation, and
therefore stimulate and advance the
commercial standing abroad of each
county.
If the county and stale boards are
to have authority to change the entire
assessment, it seems unnecessary for
the county assessor to place a value
on property, but rather, confine his
labor exclusively to the listing and
the classification of property, leaving
the value to be fixed afterward.
FLECTION OF SENATORS.
There is unquestionably a growing
sentiment in favor of the election of
United States senators by a direct
vote of the people, and the reasons
for it are not hard to find. The
senate itself furnishes nearly all of the
arcumeuts and influences by which
the desire for such a change is being
strengthened and extended. It was
the original design that this select and
august body should be a conservative
force to check the excesses of the
house and insure a temperate and
prudent adjustment of all controver
sies; and for a long time it served that
purpose in a beneficial and satisfactory
way. But of late years, it has become
source of embarrassment and of mis
chief instead of a protection against
that sort of thing. The country has
ceased to look to it for the wisdom
which it is supposed to represent. It
is no longer reliable in point of capa-
. ble and patriotic devotion to the best
interests of the republic There is a
leaven of demagoguery in it that
leavens the whole lump, and its course
upon questions of the highest im
portance is characterized by the very
folly and extravagance which it was
intended to curb and defeat. It stands
ia the way of needed legislation, and
makes itself obnoxious by persistent
trifling with the public interests.
' The people are very tired of this
constant abuse of legislative authority,
and very anxious to put a stop to it.
Possibly the proposed change in the
method of election would not accom
plish the desired improvement, but
the impression widely prevails that
the experiment is worth trying, at any
rate. There is a feeling that if the
men who seek election to the senate
were required to submit their claims
1 directly to the voters of a state, it
would tend to increase the chances of
superior over inferior candidates, and
to establish a better sense of responsi
bility on the part of those securing
such places. It is true that there are
certain forcible objections to the
change from a theoretical point of
view, but public sentiment does not
care much for theory when the ques
tion of practical advantage is to be
considered. So many men have ob
tained seats in the senate who could
not have been elected by a popular
vote that it is easy to believe that the
trouble lies in the opportunitiy which
the present method affords for trickery
and corruption to beat honest merit.
The matter is not one to be decided in
an impulsive way or. under pressure
of special causes of dissatisfaction;
but it is a proper one to be discussed
in all its aspects, and there are un
mistakable indications that the idea
of election by a direct vote is gaining
ground rapidly in all parts of the coun
try and among all classes of the people.
A bill has been introduced in con
gress to make the Fourth of July a
national holiday. Most people will be
surprised to learn that this important
anniversary has never yet been thus
designated ; but strictly speaking,
there is only one national holiday,
Thanksgiving Day, and that is made
such by annual proclamation by the
president. Federal offices are usually
closed on Christmas, New Year's, Me
morial Day, the Fourth of July and
Washington's Birthday, but the clos
ing ia simply a custom, and is not di
rected by law or officially recognized
by the United States government. .
Ir (lie utterances of Spaniards and
Spanish newspaper count for any
thing a war with Spain may be ex
pected at no distant day, though it is
not clear that the resolutions passed
by congress would warrant any nation
in making a declaration of war. Con
grass has done no more for the Cubans
than this country, under similar cir
cumstances, would expect from an
other, and it such steps as taken by
the American congress are sufficient
to provoke war with Spain, the sooner
that decaying nation of barbarians is
taught a lesson the belter it will be for
civilization. No doubt the Spanish
government is very much agrieved at
the attitude of the United btales in
putting thv stamp of condemnation
upon Spanish butchery in Cuba, but
the disease plainly suggests the rem
edy, and this country should back it
up, if need be, by force.

Only a Timely Hint.
Mayuib, Or., Feb. 27. Editors Mist.
I noticed a communication from Mavgerin
the Rainier Review under date of February
25, whereto the writer signed his name
"X," giving the voters of Columbia
county a pointer as to where the timber for
the next county convention should come
from, and stating that we should hare
good and honest men to fill the positions.
Now, I can say tor one, that I helped to
nominate most of the officers of this county
that are serving at the present time, and
can say that Columbia county never had a
better set of officers than are serving at
present; and in regaad to the offices be
names, will say that I would very ranch like
to see them come to this end of the county,
but as Oak Point precinct has the assessor
and he is as good a one as this county ever
had I think the people of Mayger have no
kick coming. Now I will say in conclusion
that tha writer of this happens to know the
author of that piece, and he is a man who
never has paid one cent of taxes in this
county, and never has been known to do
anything else but jump board bills, and is a
great deal redder than read; and I will say
finally that the republican ticket will be
elected in this county next June regardless
of these calamity howlers. Oxo. G. M atqeb.

THE POINT LOMA WRECKED
On Long Beach. Wash., Last
Friday Morning.
The Crew of Seventeen All Saved by
Heroic Effort of the Mm
Saving Crew.
The steam schooner Point Loma was
wrecked on North beach, lust opposite Sea1
view, last Friday morning. The steamer
was on its way southward from Gray's
Harbor, but the rough woaiher outside
caused the vessel to spring a leak. At this
lime the pumps gave out so that the water
kept gaining in the hole, and finally it
raised to sufficient height to put out tlie
fires in the furnace. This, of course, ren
dered the vessel perfectly helpless, and
nothing remained but for her to drift at
the mercy of the sea upon the beach, which
necessatily meant a total loss of the ship
and cargo.
It was about 6 o'clock Friday morning
when, in the midst of a storm of blinding
snow and sleet and with a terriflo gale
blowing, the Point Loma was sighted by
the inhabitants of Beavlew, drifting on
waves running almost mountain high, into
the breakers, and It was but a few minutes
later until she struck. It was soon dis
covered that a group of men were standing
high up on the bow, as the stern was
washed by every sea, and these men were
giving the distress signal. The life crew
at Cape Hancock were nt once notified of
the wreck and came to the rescue. But the
seventeen men on board ihe wrecked
steamer were only recucd after several
hours of bard work and terrible eiposure.
The life boat once capsized, throwing the
crew and four wen who bad just been
taken of the wreck, Into the ocean, where
they struggled for some time before the
boat was righted, and when tbey finally
reached shore were unable to stand. There
were, however, plenty of men there to take
tbe place of those exhausted and the work
of rescue continued until every man on
board the ship was safely landed.
Not long after the vessel first struck she
broke in two, and a little later tbe stern
part washed ashore. Nothing of value was
saved from tbe wreck, and the crew were
only kept from freezing by the kindness of
spectators who furnished them clothing.
