FRENZIED FINANCIERING.
Tn Hin.linnril nf enunlizntlnn, eonnial
ing of County Judge Dunn, County
Clerk Coleman and County Assessor Ap
plcgate, JackBon county possesses a trio
of finaneiors who put. the frenzied fi
nanciers of'. Wall street to same. They
bavo Invented a procens whereby sim
ple fiat, they ' make dollar into
$1.66 a-3.
Probably nowhere in the world has
sucb a simple formula for increasing
wealth boen discovered and put into
practice. It was alleged during the
free silver ngitatin that Bryan pro
posed to make fifty-cent dollars. Hero,
however, we havo a practical working
scheme whoreby we ars saved even the
trouble of coining, and by simple declar
ation find our money grown over night
as it were, two-thirds Its size.
Those so fortunate as to have hud a
thousand dollars in the bunk beforo the
board of equalization set, found this
$1000 sprouted as if by magic yeast
into $1666.08 after tho board met. Of
courso we could not see tho increase
in our coin, but nil knew it had increas
ed nud wero taxed for it, for didn't
we have Judge Dunn's word for it as
well as that of tho other two momliors
of the board nf equalization! And
didn't thev all solemnly swear to
"faithfully and honestly examine, cor
rect and equulizo at full cash value
"-'nil property," nnd havon't we .lodge
Dunn's own word for it that ho obeyed
the law and his oath! Don't he him
self assort in bis numerous open letters,
in which he is prolific in calling other
peoplo liars, that he is a Simon pure
truth-teller, one of tho few in Oregon!
Consequently, when ho says that our
money has grown liko the mushroom
over night, isn't he to be believed! And
ago, when hanging was a punishment
provided by the laws of England for
petty theft. Those accused of even min
or offenses were treated inhumauly, oft
en being sold into a life of slavery
iu difetout lands.
It is therefor with a considerable
shock that we read of cruel practices
nnd tortures given miuo.- offenders in
our own couuty jail under the regime
of Sheriff Jackson.
On March 10, 1007, there was a juil-
brcak at Jacksonville. Kour prison
ers escaped to tho hills, one of them,
a man named Gauung, accused of steal
ing a rifle from a shooting gallery, was
recaptured and brought back to prison.
As punishment for his nttempleil es
cape, he was strung up by tho wrists,
handcuffs being placed upon them, tho
chain being passed through the steel
uttico work of the cell abovo tho pns-
oner s bend, men too juuit iutwu
the cell nud, taking the prison keys
with him, started out to search for the
other escapes. The torture became so
fr.eat that the prisoner's screams at
tracted the attention of courthouse offi
cials. Tools were secured from a jacK-
sonvillo store, entrance into the jail
forced and the prisoner cut down from
outside tho cell. Ho had been triced
up about an hour.
This is as cruel torture as can be giv
en, and there is no excuse in this day
and age of practicing such nn outrage
upon a helpless prisoner. There is abso
lutely no justification for such brutal
treatment. Anyone who has frequent
ed jails knows that many of tho pris
oners ore more sinned against than sin
ning. There nro many unfortunntes for
whom more can bo done by kindness,
mercy and consideration than by brut
itv. To treat a mnn cruelly nrous'
his savnao instincts and brin

RAILROAD ASSESSMENT,
"It is saitl that the board of equal
ization did not mine the railroad as
(trsKUH'iit mi its InmU along with the
aNfle.HHinent of tho other property of
tho county. This is as near the truth
as tho other falsehoods which have
been circulated. Kvcry piece of prop
erty iu .laclchon county wax raii-d
the same proportion as ovi-rv other
piece." Medford Mail.

A STATRMKNT BY I). II. MILL Kit
Certain persons in Juckson county,
who are opposed to my election as rep
resentatives, are circulating a report
that I did not sign Statement No. 1 at
the time I filed my declaration as a
candidate for nomination.
In reply f wish to say that I am
heartily in favor of Statemont No. 1
and have always been, as 1 believo that
the majority of tho peoplo should have
the right to say who should bo elected
United Htntea senator. At tho time I
filed my declaration for nomination 1
wrote out a statement to tho fact that
was in favo" of Statement No. 1 and
sent, it to the county clerk with my
Icclnrntion, thinking that it could be
made a part of tho declaration and
wishing it to bo made a part of it, but
it seems that this was not done, nud
I do not fool that this is my fault.
t want to say right, now that I was

man, and 1 pledge myself that if elect
ed representative I will cast my vote
for tho man receiving tho majority
of the vote of 'the peoplo of Oregon
for united States senator, irrespective
of party, which the two republican can-
lidates for representative, J. t. Hnm-
mersley nnd H. D. Kubli, have declared
thev will not do.

ARGUMENTS IN FAVOR OF
INCREASING SUPREME JUDGES
"Man's inhumanity to man make
countless thousands mourn."
Hloee the dayi of inquisition, when
in tbe suae of religion fiendish tortures
were practiced upon the helpless pris
oners, humanity has constantly grown
better. As civilization advnnced in no
way was its progress shown clearer than
( Jo the more humane treatment given
prisoner.
There must be a good deal of the sav
age In the mnn who delights in torture
of any kind, whether of man or beast.
The aborigines took a devilish pi en vi re
in maltreating victims. The brute of
today who baa a thin Yenoer of civil
ization spilled upon him to hide from
the unobscrving bfs real nature, shows
himself in his treatment of Inferiors or
unfortunates. .
Among the many measures to bo vot
ed upon at the coming election is the
proposed constitutional amendment In-
reasing the number of judges of the
supreme court.
"This proposed amendment has the fol
lowing advantages:
first It simply substitutes regular
judges for the present eonimisioners,
Second It adds no additional ex
penso to the conduct of the court, there
being relat ively the same n umber of
men at tho same relative salaries.
Third It will expedite the hearing
of appealed eases,
Konrth As to all rearrangements of
the inferior courts comprehended by
this amendment, the matter is left to
the legNlature, as the interests of the
different localit iet may require.
