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. , ,

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.

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,
