Keep Bright and You WILL KEEP BUSY Klcctric Unlit i the lunula Hint clrnws trndc. The bright .store Is the "hypnotic eye" of business. People can no more resist the attraction of a brilliant, Electrically lighted store than they can resist the clarion call of a brass band. Is your competitor with the Klectrically illuminated show windows, bright interior and sparkling Klcctric Sign Kclting an advantage over you? The moth never flutters around the uulighted candle! Up-to-date stores nowadays consider shop-window lighting a necessity, whether they remnin open after dark or not. Competition forces modern methods. A show window brilliantly illuminated with Klcctric light will make many a sale "the night before." Klcctric light compels attention, makes e isy the examination of your display, shows goods in detail and fabrics in their true colors. And don't neglect the Klcctric Sign. It is soliciting "tomorrow's" business every moment it is lighted burning your name in the public mind. It is a solicitor that never becomes weary never stops work costs little.

Kditor Review: Replying to Mr. North, deputy assessor, as he was quoted in the Review of last week, will only sny that the statements made in my letter published in the Review February 28, arc positively true in every particular and I have the documents to prove it. Lots ti-12, block 17, Point View were assessed at S4G0 while other lots adjoining were assessed at $80 each, but Mr. North says that the .$300 was for improvements. Very well, but the only improvements on the lots are two small tents worth about f 10 each, which Mr. North says he assessed at $300. Do you see what we are kicking about? Again lot 1, block 2, Iiarton s addition was assessed at $200 with no itn nroveinents, yet there is a store building on the lot built in April, 1006, at a cost of f.150 which has been rented for $7.50 per month ever since, yet tlie assessor did not see these improvements at all. Any kick coming here? As far as that map is concerned to which atten tion was called, will say that it certainly must have been intended as a joke. Kor instance lot 1 8, block Ci, Oak Park No. 2 is marked on the map $150, while the actual assessment is S325. Again take the brick block in which the post ollicc is located, according to tue map the four lots on which it stands are assessed at $600, $650, $700 and $750 or a total of 1 2700. Of course no one supposes lor a minute that the block was actually relumed at any Mich ridiculous assessment. The map only showed the value of the bare lots and did not indicate the value of the im provements at all, and gave no information as to the assessed vat lie of improved property. lint we said in our first letter that we thought St. Johns should he represented on the assessor s force by a bt. Johns man that was acquainted with local values. D. C. Rogers informs me that the assessment of bt. Johns property for 1008 has been turned over to him. I his removes the cause of complaint and our kick is done. S. C. Cook. A Timely Illustration. A very truthful and pertinent I cartoon adorned the front page of the Oregoniau one morning lately. It was the portrait of the business man mid tespectahle citizen who did not have time to register and that of a thug ami all-round crook, who always has time and never fails to register. Then our people wonder how it is that the bad ele incut dominates the politics of the city. We do not wonder and do not blame the bad element for try iug to keep ahead of the procession, It is money in their pockets to do so. W e do censure the man who desires good government, who claims membership in some church, who would not touch hands with the bad element of the city, when he fails to register. His failure to do so and to take enough interest in elections to cast his vote places nun 111 tue smile class as the ones he would shun. We think n ureal I ileal more of a saloon keeper who works for his interest, is lawnhid iittt, mid straight in his dealings with his fellow men than we do of the confessed church member who is indifferent to his duties to his I country, who howls about the rot tcuiichs 01 tue city ami takes no step when he can to make it better. .Such a man is a hypocrite, hated alike by God and man. Are you one 01 em .' 1 he ik'ople of Oregon will have Ian opportunity to show their appre ciation of the good work the Uni ver.Mty of Oregon is doinu for the young people of the state by voting tor the appropriation asked for.

A writer in the Corvallis Gazette puts forth the most silly, illogical arguments against statement No. 1 we have heard yet. After a qtinr- . , , . . .1 lutini . tt..)wti ..2 . question or morality uie writer ... .. f. says: ooicctious 10 smieiiieiu No. I are based, mainlv on its manifest immorality. Ve have believed when the people saw this, the statement would be ignored, wholly disregarded. We observe this is the cabe. The people will not resort to immoral means even to reach desirable and righteous ends." Arguing on this line the Gazette would remove all oaths of office from our regulations, because for- sootn, we note that some ot our officers violate their oaths of office and are guilty of perjury. Does that reflect upon the people? Arc the people to bear the censure due the perjurer who violates his oath of office and breaks the law which he is sworn to uphold? We do not believe any sane man will say so and we further believe that when these perjurers come up again for office the people will turn them down because of their immorality, and we believe in doing the same way with tlio.se who seek legisla live honors. We believe that a man who s'.eks the honor of a rep' rescutativc should have respect enough for his constituents to sign statement No. t and stand by it, and it lie will not, wc believe in turning him down flat. In this way can the people achieve their desire for fair representation and in no other. This silly twaddle about the immorality of statement No. 1, would be amusing It it were not so disgustingly false. Funds Will Likely Be Safe. Those who arc afraid that the money the University of Oreeou is asking for will be misappropriated will most likely experience nfeeliuc of relief when tliov learn that nil bills must pass through the hands of the president of that Institution, for His signature, the secretary of the board, and a committee of three of the regents, then to the secretary of state who makes final passage on the bills before the war- rants are issued. It looks like it was n pretty sale propo ition so far as tlie spending of the money is concerned. If the bill provides the objects for which it is to be expended wc are sure it would be carried out. Needs a Little Fixing. i.auiucr tue teeu man has re ceived a little joker from the asses sor mini. Un a lot in Point View, 011 which stands a little shuck put up down by the river 35 years ago, ami moved to tins lot a tew years since ami which they have been un able to rent for $3.50 per month, I the tax receipts shows was assessed at M50. Mr. I.authers says he I would be elad to take -t .so for the building. Of course, accidents will uapiHMi, nut we nave a local asses sor lor ot. joints the coming year mid that will make us all right for the future. Our Charges. As is customary, we will charge for card of thanks, 50c: for resolu- lions of resiiect, Si. 00: for notices of church or lodge entertainments, siip)er.s, sociables, etc., where there are charges for admission, 5c per line, out where there are no charges for these events, we will break the rule and insert them free. We make this announcement so that our good friends may understand our rule in this respect. A reasonable time will be allowed publishers to secure renewals of subscriptions, but unless subscrip- tions are expressly renewed, after the term for which they an paid, within (he following periods week- lies within one jenr, scnil-wceclies within nine months, triweeklies within si months, dailies within three months. They shall not be counted In the legitimate list of sub. scrlbcrs, and copies mailed on ac count thereof shall not be accepted for uiailinir at the second class postage rate of I cent a pound, but may be in died at the transient sec ond class rostaee rate of I cent for each four ounces or fraction thereof, prepaid by stamps affixed. Because of this arbitrary ruling of the poslofficc department after the first of April we will be com pelled to drop from our list all names over one year in arrears. To Whom it Alay Concern.
