Good resolutions are liko faint. ing Indies they need currying out. '.' " . i . . The - arrest of MoAuliit'o and Sluvio and placing under t0,ooo bonds is as it uhotild Ih Prize lighting in degrading. An Hvorago of 2L';U imssvngere have 1hhu carried on the motor lino siiie it commenced running from Independence to Monmouth. For teu long yours Oregon must Buffer the peuaity of having a population credited to us much Mow the facts. The demand for a recount is not to bo heeded. Tlio feeling is growing among our people that by next February ground will be broken for a rail road to Salem, and before next lull the engine wilt go pulling into Falls City. This means a great deal for the prosperity of ourtown. "We hope to see a cannery in operatUm here at Independence next spring in time to have our farmers produce plenty of veget ablea and small fruits for canning, and than M ill commence the plant ing of orchards. The locat ion I very favorable for a cannery. . i j A correspondent to the Orrgttnian from Dallas says the completion of the tramway on which logs will be hauled into Dallas from the La Creole, will make Dallas a lumber ing center. A railroad to Falls City from Independence would make this a lumber center. Let ns get to the center as soon as possible. ' The American people arc the best informed, in a popular sense, of any people iu the world. The newspaper is the medium. Let the people demand that they shall have in their papers the pub licatiou of the acts of their public servants both in state, county' and municipality. Let the people require this just as they do now the publication in book form for the use of the lawyer. Let every . man bo his own lawyer. LET THE PEOPLE HE INFORMED. Ihis Is au age of newspapers. The busy man of to-day reads on the installment plan. The news paper has become tho medium through which all his opinions are formed, and while nearly every person forms opinions of his own they are biased by the opinions ex pressed in the newspapers. The postoflice department wisely made such a low rate of postage on news papers that every town has a news paper. It was a wise move, Another move that should be in augerated in Oregon is giving more publicity to our laws, both state, county and municipal. It costs thousands of dollars annually to car ry on our executive machinery ami many arrests are made of persons who trespass through Ignorance of tho laws, and many expenditures of money are made that should be made public, but are not. The closer the acts of our public ser vants are brought to the people the better. Every ordinance in a town, every charter oi a town, every meeting of the county court, every act of the legislature should be chronicled in papers whero the acts or laws affect tho people. One rcitson why our lawyers are usurp ing all the fat offices and represent ing us in congress is because they are versed in the laws. Why can not the common people bo thus privileged and then our farming representation would feel less at sea among the leanicd(f)legislators, No doubt a move towards having the masses less educated will meet with opposition from somo short sighted legal gentleman, but if the people, demand it, it must come, Let these matters be made as public as possible. If it were done, many a knave would be cheated of his victim many a farmer would have more wheat in the warehouse, many a laborer would not find his hard earned wages remaining un paid. ".'" AN AUSESSMEN T LAW. ! Tho coming legislature will surely be called upon to do some thing definite on the law govern ing assessment of property, at the corni ng session. The great demand is for a new law and not a doctor ing of the old one. Various sug gestions have been made to our law makers and wo aro going to add to tho list, and iroiu careful observation believe it will accom plish a good purpose and bo accept able to the iwHtple, Tho features of our bill are: 1st. An assessment of real estate once in five years only. 2d. An assess ment of personal property yearly. .Id. No exemption by tho assessor of any kind of indebtedness. 4th. An assessuuMit of railroad, tele graph, telephone, steamboat and other state corporations by a Htut board, and the amount credited to each. county as Uiey aro propor tionately entitled. To carry out this law let each couuty bo districted aud a precinct assessor, who lives in the product bo nppoiutod by the county assessor who shall assess alt the personal property, and ull the appurteu uncos Iwlonglug to real estate, and roiurn this to the county seat where the boui-d composed of ull the us.fi 8 ors shall meet aud examine the assessment and a majority vote of the Istard shall detertuiuo all questions of value.' In assessing real estate once in five years, the board shall bo governed by the selling prices of the property, which would be without Improve ments, Safe guards should be placed around this assessment to prevent frauds, and no better safe guard could bo had than that the assessment be published it tint lending papers in the county thirty days before it is made filial. ; While no indebtedness should be deducted by tlie assessor, yet wheu the board meets to make up the assesmeut rolls, let the couuty clerk furnish a cortltlcd list of mortgages on record, and these be deducted from individutd lists. This will prevent any of the fronds now practised where indebtedness Is taken out in March, and the debt paid before September, hence the county gets uo revenue. lit advantages of having a state board assess the railroads is that they having full power to compel a full showing of the property, could assess ut something more nearly the proper value, and the amount could then be divided among each county in proportion to mileage. There is no reason w hy a railroad center where arc hundreds of cars, locomotives, machine shops, etc, should receive taxes on all those and the oubdde counties on only the road bed. To Illustrate a method of assess ment based on our plan let us take Polk couuty as an example. The couuty would require to assess the real estate properly, not less thau fifteen product assessors. Each precinct assessor, is provided with a map of his precinct giving the legal subdivisions of every claim, and every town lot. Without con sulting the ownership of the real estate, it in carefully examined and classed and valued. This value after being finally listed is final for five years. If a town lot valued at 1000 is divided, then the part sold would bo tared in proportion and all improvements be added by the the yearly assessor. Let the re turns of the yearly assessor be sent in each day and entered by the county assessor and assistants, so that when, after a few days work the whole county has , boen assessed the lioard has only to meet and check off the work, and if any of the values are too high or too low, a majority vote of the board shall determino the matter. Let the salary of the prccenct assessors be 13 a day and the county assessor $3 and then men ot ability can 1ms secured. All mort gages on record at the time of the assessment are deducted and assess ed directly to the person holding it J. W. OllUiugh In up from Portland visiting IiIh family. Hereafter tho firm of A.
