The true reason is said to be this: When the question of taxation of mortgages and de ductions for indebtednes were be fore the legislature, the bankers and wealthy men favored its repeal, thinking a full assessment would lower tax rates and they would thus Bare money, but they now see their mistake and know that the old law was the beet for them, because it was much more easy to flnnd ex enjes for paying a small tax thou now, and, therefore, they are work ing to get the law deducting indebt ednees reinacted, and since slovenly, incomplete tax roll will disgust the farmers, and then a raise by the state board still more dis gust them, there will be a great ef fort made to hare the mortgage tax law placed in the Btatute books, and the fine hand of the nionicd men is behiud it, and they work through our county courts. Under the present law the only way our taxpayers can avoid being taxed is for their property not to appear on the tax roll, but undet the other system It is very ejwy to have enough indebtedness to cover it all A full and complete asms ment in Polk county will do no one any harm and yet will be of great moment in regulating future legb htion. Tee ticket placed before the people of Independence by the re publicans is one that should merit support. The persons nominated are representative business men and who will intelligently conduct the affairs of our city. The candi date for mayor, Judge Hurley, is emminently 'qualified to represent the dignity of the city. Geo. W. lieed, the candidate for recorder, has one of the best written set of books ever shown in this city, and he has a pleasing manner that cre ates a favorable impression on persons doing business with him J. A. L. Myers, the candidate for marshal, is very popular and will poll a good vote. Taking the whole ticket as nominated, the re publicans have given the citizens a chance to elect to office men who will be an honor to the party and the city. " I LS.L-l.. If the citizens of the only t competent ruler of the people is the people itself, and not any individual or portion of the people. The political party of the future that ignores tills principle will lose many ftieuds, who are more patriotic than political. A very successful newspaper uian says. "Never acknowledge yourself in the wrm:g." If you ore in the wrong on any quest ku, the people' will soon find it out, and you need umko no acknowledge ment. . . mi.,...L -. - ..', u Tub courts have decided that not ouly ore all city, school district and county tuxes to be on one roll assessed by the oouuty assessor, but also collected by the sltei 10. Thus it will be seen how very important that our people shall fully know Just how perfect is our tax roll. KeaUttd as OUeer.

PUUHL Polk county would demand an investigation of our county tax roll, and after pass ing on it, the state board should make any changes, such as raising or lowering it, there would be a howL The state board is going to monkey with all the tax rolls, and now Is the time to act to prerent it. The Oregon! an has made a fatal admission in a recent editorial on municipal charters in which it says that city charters should be sub mltted to the people before becom ing a law, since serious omissions or errors occur in the charter each time, which makes it necessary to be changed at the next legislature. The Oregonian opposes the initia tive and referendum as being im practicable, but the case of the city charter of Portland Is only one of a dozen where there would be fewer jobs perpetrated on tho people through legislative enactments if the people had a final vote. The Oregonian has condemned the Ref erendum on general principles, but approves of its use in a special case. The West Side believes that it be hooves the people to have more di rect control of city, county, state and national affairs, and the pres ent condition of affairs in the Unit ed States serves to teach us that HOUSE & 2 LOTS Situated in Independence, Or.
