SAIXJON I.EAGCE MED. That the organization known as the saloon league deliberately mlxrepre aented facts in their. circular under the caption "Read' This," Is attested to by E. D. Matlock of Eugene, Who was one of the men mentioned In lh circular. In black type, duly under lined to set iut the lie In bold-faced type, the circular issued to the voters of Union county, as well as other counties of the state, says: "The mayor of Eugene, who spoke at Oregon City on the evening of May ; ISth. 1978, In the Interests of the pro hibitionists, stated that the business conditions In that county were far better under prohibition than without It, and that hi son's business had In creased irom 130,000 per year prior to prohibition, to $60,000 per year af ter prohibition was adopted, but he failed to tell his audience that his son was engaged In the drug business and tield one of those government licenses tp sell liquor." Everyone knows his own business best, hence the following telegram to . H. D. YVylle of Pendleton, Is. positive proof that the principal argument ad vanced by the saloon league Is false. The telegram follows: ' "Eugene, Ore., May 29, log. To H. D. Wylle, til Blaine Avenue, , JPcndlcton, Oregon: 'l have general merchandise store. No drugs sold. I hold no government license whatever. - (Signed) "E. D. MATLOCK." It Is needless to say that an argu ment Is as strong as Its weakest link, but, aa the principal and salient argu ment of the league In this Instance Is falsehood. It ran readily be con ceived that the entire line of argument 1 a failure. , , '" 1 The voter of Vnlon county' will be called upon next Monday to decide their choice as to who will be the next assessor of the county. In mak ing this rteclMon good Judgment must be exercised end a thoroughly com petent man must be selected who wlil b fair with every taxpayer, giving very person bmosviI a square deal and showing Impartiality to no one, great or smull. luvmtlicatl.ins of the records an can now be seen In the n sessor's office, will show thnt the pres. nt aasesanr l a man of these qualifi cations. Having t.ihin churge nf the office when last year's assessment work wns supposed to have been fin ished, n lnrg portion of the tnx roll having been completed, the present Incumbent succeeded In placing over tSJI.OOo worth of property on U:e rolls; property that had been over looked In making the regular assess ment, and this wns done In the short pace of time allotted hi in after tsk- ' In charge of the office. This yoar , will see little or no sheriff's assess ments and no unknown property upon the tax rolls of fnlun county. In placing the name of Rudolph A. ling before the taxpayers of the rounty for the office of assessor, we feel thnt we csn conscientiously off,.r A man that Is thoroughly competent In every sense of the word; a courteous gentleman at sll times. Mr. Hug has been a resident of 'this county for over 27 years, and has been promi nently Identified with Its growth and development. He at present owns a farm near Elgin and previous to his .appointment to the office of assessor aa In active management of earns. Using In close touch with the varied . Interests of the county Mr. Hug stands Otit today, an honest official, a con- -jsverva'lve business man, and one wor- Monday the battle of the ballots will take place. Many matters of Import ance to the citizens of Oregon will be settled, either for better or for worse. The various candidates have made It pretty clear to the voters that they oil are the proper men for the offices, but It is certain that tomorrow the voters will be compelled to make a choice. After Jthe votes are counted there will be a percentage of the candidates who will be aware of the fact that a mis take was made somewhere, and that they will not be compelled to abandon their prlvbte affairs In order to take up a public burden, The victors will be able to congratulate the voters upon their ability to choose the right men for ihe right places and will pre pare at once to enter upon their term of self-imposed sacrifice. The cam paign will be finished by Monday eve ning, and the results known before morning. , It present plans are carried out it never again will be possible tor a ml norlty of the house toseriously delay business through the. constitutional provision that the ayes and nays may be demanded , on- every affirmative question and that the demand shall be granted If it be supported by one-third of the membership. It Is proposed to Install In the house an electrical con trivance by which members may vote simply by touching a button. This would entirely do away with roll calls and reduce to about five minutes the time required to register an aye and nay vote. Under the present system It required about 40 minutes. e i .. OLDEST COIN IN THE WOIUD. An archaeological find of the great eat Interest has just been made by Pastor Lohmann, chairman of the German society for scientific research In Anatolia. During his recent Jour ney In north Syria a coin of pure sil ver, excellently preserved, . was of fered to him, which, on examination, proved to bear a perfect Aramean In scription of Panammu Bar Rnrub, king of Schnmol, who reigned 800 years before Christ. It is the oldest known coin In the world. Up to the present the Lydlnns have always been regarded as the Inventors of money, but this new find shows that the Sem itic Arameuns, who lived two centur ies before. the Lydlans, are the oldest coiners of money, FREE!
