The Masonic Home of Missouri, lor the
care of aged people and orphans, is a
credit to that ancient and worthy order.
The grounds are ample and the buildings
are imposing and wisely adnptcd. It is
located on one of the finest avenues in St.
i I.ouis, overlooking the World's Fair, For
est Park and the finest residence portion
of that great and growing city. An nt
tnosphereof lolly refinement, intelligence
and religion prrvndes the institution. Ch
a recent S.ililith. by special invitation, it
was the good fortune and exquisite pleas
ure of this editor to conduct religious ser
vices in the beautiful and commodious
chapel of this splendid home. The in

this county that the pre-ent assessor has j0;mty u.xcs

sary to refute this charge is the pubOj
tion of the following letter:
Tacoma, Wash. April 1. VMM.
Mr. A. T. Laws, Dear Sir: When I vis
ited St. Helens and had a talk with yon
in regard to the assessment. I nndcrstood
you to say that you intended to raise ottr
right of way and tiack It, 2-3 per ecu:. As
it was assessed last year for 4,4" per
n.ile, a raise of 1 2-;t per cent would be
raise of alvout $7W per mile. This .vould
give a total assessed valuation of jo,i;o a
mile; but, according to your stueuier.t,
you have raistd it to i'lti") per mile,
which is a greater vacation thin we have
ryt peid oi.. eithur lit this State or the
"flato of Oregon. I would be pleased to
llave you reeorstdi-r your action in this
matter and see if ybu can not let as do.vn
a little easier than you have. While if
other people are being raised, we certainly
ate-v.ilit to bear our share o,o73 a
fflilt'Cm the trcV js getting to be
hifb-r than we can stand,
i- 4"he increase of lfi 2-;i per cent, which I
understood you to say vou iutended to
make in our right of way and track, we
would stand, but a 50 per cent increase
rould place our property far lievond the
valuation of other property in the coun-.v
pro rata to its valuation, and this we teel
to be an unius burden. Yours tmlv,

The state tax has been very- Rreatly in
creased; but that ii v"crta.:n!y not the
fault of the county court, and does not
enter into this calculation. The charge
is that taxes have been doubled as a re
sult of extravagance in coun'y affairs,
and the charge is ridicuously untrue.

which we desire to call the attention oi

-THJ5 LOCAL ISSUE.
The contest betwt (tj Democrats 1 Republican
notuiitees for County ttjfls,e f Columbia County re
solves itself, far as tlve voters are conccrnetl, into a
question f public policies ami not of personality. It is
easy to pick flaws in either candidate. Neither of them
is without blame in the administration of his office in the
,p,tt, tujr i it prolj;ible that their conduct in the future
will lie above criticism.- .As a matter of fact, the county
needs new men in the offices and under the direct primary
nominating system it will get them at the next election ;
but at present we must decide between tlve nominees. Put
ting asitle all slander, exaggeration anil eleventh-hour
statements, let vt go to the polls Monday with the resolve
to cast a vote in the interest of the county in which we
reside, for its progress and advancement along lines that
linvc been proven lcnefictal in other counties of the State
of Oregon.
The question of good roads is in this campaign, and
it is the' most important question before the people of
Cojumbiti County, The tax of bail roads is the heaviest
tax we have to bear, ami amounts annually to the ieople
of Columbia County to more than the entire county levy.
As has been well said, the various departments of agricul
ture teach the fanner bow to increase his products and
bow to care for it to the best advantage, but the question
that financially interests him most is how to dispose of
bis products. It is useless for him to raise anything le
yond supplying his family, unless he can find a market
tor it that he can reach at the proper time. The national
lioard of trade has said that "this country is poverty
stricken in the midst of its riches by reason of its bad
roads." How true that is of Columbia County, and es
pecially of the Xchalem Valley. Wliether it is to remain
true depends somewhat upon the vote cast next Monday.
Mr. Rattan has declared jhat if elected he will not
favor levying the ten-mill road tax. This means a loss
of over $18,000 road money, and the loss of whatever
good work has been done on the public highways; and
the greater part of this so-called saving will go into the
pockets of the railroad corporations, the big logging
camps, the money loaners, and the nonresident owners of
property in Columbia County, and if any good work is
done on the roads it will be by the volunteer work of the
men who have a hard enough time to make a living
without being called upon to improve the property of non
residents. What Columbia County needs is not less taxes,
but better roads. They cannot be had if Mr. Rattan
is permitted to put his policies into etTect. Let us see how
the failure to levy the road tax would work. I fete is a
list of some of the principal taxpayers:

Thus it will be seen that forty-one taxpayers, mainly
nonresidents and speculators who are profiting by the
road work done by th residents of this county, pay over
one-third of the taxes. There are alxnit 3,000 other tax
payers on pitj bit, and their average payment of tax is
alxiut $16. Among them are all of the small farmers who
arc to settle the contest on Monday next. Is it good pol
icy for them, in order to save about $5 per year on their
own taxes, to forego the great benefit to be derived in the
next few years by tht) expenditure on roads of over
$18,000 annually? It should be rcmqmbcrs.d, also, that
this $18,000, two-thirds of which is paid by nonresidents,
i? paid out to the actual residents of this county for sup
plies and wages, and the resident who pays $5 per year
road tax not only will have his road improved, but Will
also have an opportunity to earn more out of the roal -fund
than he puts into it. If the road tax was $100,000
per year it would bring over $60,000 into the county and.
