IP TO THf VOTfRS
Union county ia comparatively anew
region. The settler who came into this
valley to make homes found It as nature
made it To build houses to shelter their
families, make farms, open roads jo that
they -were barely passable in 'good
weather and erect mills and factories to
provide for the necessaries of life taxed
the capacity -for work and thought of the
pioneer to its uttermost They had no
time to think about subjects that did not
demand their present ' urgent attention
and county and state politics to be carried
out in the future received little or no at
tention or in other words the hard pressed
home builder 'had no time for politic.
Ways to provide shelter, food and cloth
ing for self and those dependent oh him
constituted his political platform.
Tax gatherers once a year reminded
him that he belonged to a body politic
and was a citizen of a state and county.
When he had sold enough wheat or an
animal that could be illy spared from the
new place, assisted by the price of 'some
eggs and butter that hi wife contributed
h raised the tax money Jat yr, h
dismissed all thought about public affairs.
In course of time, after having paid
annually a small sum, though "to him
large, and not having seen any evidence
that the money taken from him by the
tax collector had In any way been so ex
pended as to assist him in providing for
his family, or lightened the labor of his
wife in making butter or rearing chickens,
he began to yearn for some plan of
managing state and county affair so
.that he would have less to pay. Politici
ans, that is the men who wanted .to get
hold of the tax money paid by the citizens,
soothed the dissatisfied tax payers by
pledge of "economy." But although
this promise has been made for years it
has never survived the election and taxes
are higher now than forty years ago. All
that there is to show for it is finer houses
for the officials to do their business in.
The voters now have more power over
public business, and should know before
they cast their vote for a man what he
proposes to do with the tax money. '
Several enterprises are brewing that
give promise of increased payrolls. By
the time the buttercups begin to bloom
some of these will materialize. La
Grande has a bright future for this year
and there will be many things doing
besides politics,
With two gam warden in- this county
backed by a wide-awake Came Club, woe
be to the violator of the game laws.
Last year the county clerk issued over
400 hunter licenses and this number
may be increased thi year. If this re
mained In the county for local protection
as it should it would mat with better
favor and no doubt the next legislature
will consider this phase of the question.

. The candidacy of Fred W. Mulkey of
r?:rt!:H short term for senator
meet with much favor. . He is a lawyer
of ability, a man of good family and ready
parts, and Republicanism unquestioned.
Besides he believe in the principle that
(he people should nominate and elect the
senator who go to represent us in Wash
ington. This paper regrets that so many
Oregon politicians are modest and do not
seek the United States tenatorshipt
more in the open. There should be
several prominent Republicans out in the
canvas for this honorable place, and
Democrats a well. The long term and
the short term should be contended for
as a matter of principle, and let the'
people have the benefit of a choice. The
office should . not go by default to any
man. This i hardly an enviable or de
sirable way to get the office, in our
opinion. Man can contenl for places
long the line of principle and leave the
cjioice to the people without any discredit
whatever if defeated for the nomination,
or even for the election. Unless there
are more candidates for the office than
now show up, rnny Repu il-cans w I
hesitate to commit themselves to any
candidate and the election will again go
to a dark horse, "in the usual manner."
Let us welcome Mr. Mulkey's entrance
upon the field as a candidate. Let us
hope there may be others to go - before
Jjhe people at the primaryr There is Until
jlarch 30th. to file petitions for nomina-ons.

"Tiuly miraculous seemed the recovery
of Mrs. Mollis Holt of this place, writes
3. O. R. Hooper, Woodford, Tenn., "she
was so wasted by coughing up pus from
her lungs. Doctor declared her end so
near that her family had watched by her
bed-side forty-eight hours; when, at my
urgent request Dr. King's New Discovery
was given her, and with the astonishing
result that improvement began, and con
tinued until she finally completely recov
ered, and is a healthy woman today."
