I.kt owr state revenue be raised by taxing the comities direct by a per capita basin. This would do away with under valuation. - . . i h our legislatures were elected to make laws instead of being prin cipally! selected to elect our sena tors; better law making material would be sent there. Polk county was organised Iec .22, and comprised the area south of Yamhill county to the California lino, and from Willam ette river to the IViAe ocean. In Ronton county was cut off. J. V. Cl sK K, of Albany, is spoken of as a candidate for state treasurer. His well known best ness ability recommends htm for the officti, and Linn county has no other prominent candidate aud is entitled to recognition. Dallas would take one good emetic and purge herself of this aocuma lution of disease and filth she would be greatly the gainer in health, strength and longevity. Tim Wallula llmthl has sus pended publication on account of of lack of support, says the Lexing ton Hlad?. This is the second paper that has died, at Wallula from the same cause, and the town is now without one. The people of such a community, by allowing the local paper to dio of starvation, certainly place themselves before their neigh bor in no enviable light What a collection of fossils, mossbacks and iguoramusca a town must be that will not accord the scanty support necessary to keep a local paper alive, for the publisher usuidly keeps up the struggle as long as he has the least encouragement, and sometimes lives a long while en the hope of better times. In propor tion to the profit realized, the country publisher has more capital iuvested and works harder than other man In the community, far mers not excepted, and the local paper is the most important factor in building up a town and sur rounding couutry. Most people realize this fact, but there are oc casionally towns like Wallula where the residents are so short sighted that they imagine the patronage extcuded to a local paper as that much money throwu away or given in charity, aud such people are not very strong on charity. Kditinu a paper, says a practical editor, is a pleasant thing. If it contains too much political matter people won't have it, if it contains suras are just a few things too little they won't have it. If which would make our assessment the type is too large it don't con- law much better. 1st.

Tue republican party cannot nominate a stronger man for state superintendent of schools than the present encumbent Prof. E. B. Me- Elroy. For the good of the state, we bcliore he is better in that position than he would bo in that of governor, which some of his ad mirers have suggested. TUE choice of Chicago for the World's fair is very satisfactory to the AVest. It will truly be au American institution being located iu the heart of the country and conrcuient of access from all points. . The influence of the railroads had a great deal to do with locating the fair at Chicago, and rightly too for they will reap a rich harvest in transportation. i x I. the presidential election of Nov. 6, 1S8S, Polk county voted as follows for presidential election. Republicans, 785; democrats, 720; prohibition, 71. Total 158.). Judg ing from the attendance at the schools throughout the county it is safo to estimate tiiat at least 2000 votes will be polled in 1S!K). The new vote is an unknown quantity. they say there is want of enterprise. If we put in a few jokes, folks say we are uothing but a rattle head; if we omit jokes, they say we are an old fossil. If we publish origi ml matter, they condemn us for not giving them selections; if we publish select ions folks say we are lazy for not giving what they have not read in some other paper. If we give a man a complimentary notice, wo are accused of being partial; if we do not ail hands say we are great boica. If we insert which pleases the ladies, men be come jealous; if we do not cater to their wishes, the paper is not fit to be in the house. If we attend church, they say it is only for effect, if we do not, they denounce us deceitful aud desperately wicked. If we speak well of an act, people say we coulil not do otherwise; If we censure, they call us a traitor. If we remain in our office and at tend to business, folks say we are to proud to mingle with onr fellows; if we go about a bit, tiiey say we had better stay at home aud get ou with our work. If we do not pay all bills promptly, they say we are dishonest; if we do not promptly. they say wo stole the money. Inland l'rinter.
