OREGON CITY, DECEMBER 11, 1903 Tint tax rate in Clackamas county is higher than the tax rate in the city of New York, Philttd-lpliia or Chicago Funny, isa't it? How will the good pr-ople of Clacka' mas county enjoy payinu their taxes twice next yer? They are now paying enough in all good conscience. But next ypar the burden will be doubled and the Republican Sliyloek'g who do things in this county will demand their pound of flesh in both Spring and Fall. Fon the first time in agooa long while Oregon City has al)emocrtic council, All four of the members of the Council elected on last Monday are Democrats to-wit: Knapp, Ohapuian, Justin and Straight. Good will yet come out ol Nazareth. Now when we see a few good honest Democratic faces in the Court house Oregon City and Clackamas Coun ty will be an abiding place fit for the Gods. ' It is rumored that Sheriff John R Shayer will move back to his farm a Molalla after the June election next year. The Sheriff is said to be a good farmer and he will have plenty of time to pursue the delightful occupation of agriculture after his Democratic oppo nent has taken his seat in June. Mr Bhafer don't like being Sheriff no how I it is a great pity that the County Judtfe and the State Senator are not eact to be elected this coming year. The people of this county are in a humor to clean out the Republican crowd and they would make a clean sweep of the whole "shooting match," County Judge, State Senator and all if they could get to them. Lord Rrownell and his Majesty, Judge Ryan can thank their lucky stars that they do not have to face the right eons wrath of the indignant people next year. not find him at home and had to -bide their time. The Judge was entitled to a vacation. Ha naa been working mighty bard to earn his salary for the past six years. All work and no play makes "Jack a dull boy." We would ask our Democratic friend to let us be the Judge of when the roasting is necessary and we will attend to it all in good Bhape in due time. GLADSTONE In 1890 Sheriff John R. Shaferwho now divides.the honor with Judge Ryan of being IT at the court house was a "rip roaring, from h lto breakfast frje silver, Bryan Democrat." It is very difficult to make a staunch, uncomprom. imng, Moody rhirt Republican out of free silver Bryan Democrat yet this is what the Republicans of this county did with Brother Shafer. Of couise Sheriff Slmfer neve' thought of runninc fir Sheriff on the Republican ticket when he changed his politics. That was only an accident and accident will happen. A few Republicans, whose love for the Oregon Oity Courier iB known to all men, have been nosing ' around the office of the County Recorder to find out just mw much the Courier owes Mr. A. W . Cheney on the Courier plant. In order that these philanthropist may not have to put in so much of their valuable time looking up records we will say for their benefit tnat we bought the Courier plant from Mr. Cheney thirteen months agofor $4,500, one half of which was paid in cash. The remainder was to be paid at the rate of $2125 every ninety days with six per cent interest from date. Four of these notes have ma tured and have been paid. Another one will fall due on February 1, 1904. Any other information will be cheerfully furnished. j Tub Republican administration of af- . fairs in Clrckamas county is a peach. For eighteen tlong months they could n"t tell wilhin lorty thousand dollars of how much the county' owed. It has now been eighteen years since Clacka mas county had a Democratic county Judge. Judge White went out of office a1 the latt Democrat. During his admin iBt ation the bridge acroBS the Willam ette was built and the court house was erected and notwithstanding the fact t .ai the tax rate in those good old days was only about half what it is now he left the bench wiih the county owing com paratively a small deot. Since the be ginning of Republican rule the debt has grown with each passing year and the tax rate has been continually on the in crease. In the eighteen years since Judge White retired more than $2,. 51)0,000 in county taxes have been col lected and all we have to show for all 'his sum of money is a few very com mon roads, a few wooden bridges and a few Republican county officials. We suppose we ought to be thankful that we still have the court house and the bridge across the Willamette. Well we have an idea that the day of reconing is is near at hand Get a home where y ju have ail the fresh air and freeJom of the country, ana at the same time every advantige of city life, Th? elegant cars of the Oreg m Water Power and Railway Com pany make the run tj Glad stone from Oregon City in s;x minutes.

In the last ten years the County Court of Clackamas count has levied and collected in taxes for county purposes not le8 than $1,250,1.00.00 They have today prescious little to show for the expenditure of this vaBt sum of money. Either the County Court of Clackamas county 1 as been ama.ingly extraviirant or wholly ineflicient.poBoiuly both. Dur ing all of this time the county has had a Republican county Judge and the Re publicans must bear the onus of thiB re markable expenditure. Is it not about time that the Republicans at the court Iioubo were given a rent ami a good busi ness administration itiHtulled. The county of Marion which is no bet ter county than the county of Clacka mas does now owe n cent and its tax rate in lower than the tux rate in this county. In addition in the county of Marion there is some $05,000.00 in cah, coin of the relm in the treasury. Funny isn't it. The Treasury of Clackamas county is as clean as if it hud been swept out with a nice new broom. Money is not allowed to lay around loose in the Tremmry of Clackamas county. The Treamiry wonld'nt look natural it it had uny thing In it. A county court that can spend over one hundred thou sand dol urn in twelve months and have very little to bIiow for it at the end of that time ought not to be continued in oilice.

Sunator Brownell said in his apology to the Republican convention last spring hat the reason he had Judge Ryan re duced to the ranks and had him taken off the Cmnty Court bench, was be' cause the Judge needed a little dressing down. In fact, in his judgment, the Judge had gotten a little "too big for his britches." That after having the Judge eat humble pie for two or three years he hed him put back on the bench believing the castigation he had admin istered to him would be a salutatory les son and that the judge would "be good" in the future. The way these Republi cans love one another in Clackamas county is past belief. There is one thing, however, that they all agree on, and that la, hold all you get aud keep all you can." All of the featherweights who are lolding down county jibs at the court house under this county Republican ad- miuiHlration are preparing to run for re election. You never saw a Republican in your life let go of an office that paid a salary vounteerially and "the court house ring" of Clackamas county, of which Judge Thomas F. Ryan is the ostensible head is no exception to the rule. From the Judge down to the Janitor the boys are either figuring on holding their jobs yet a little while lon ger or persuading the deer people to give them something better. If the people of this county areas intelligent as we have reaaons to believe that they are they will clean out the Augean stables next June and instill a Democratic busi ness administration. A CHANGING POLICY. It will be remembered that when Miss Huldah Todd, postmistress at Green wood, Del., was removed, it was an nounced by the administration that Bhe was removed because she was "personal ly distasteful" to Senator Allee, who re presents the Addicks faction ol the Re publican party in Delaware. With but taw exceptions, the patrons of that post office protested against Miss Todd's re moval, but the administration would not relent -its representatives insisting that the removal of this postmistress was necessary because one senator had stated that she was "personally distaste ful'' to him. On November 19, Mr, Roosevelt reap pointed Joshua E. Wilson, a negro, to the office of postmaster at Florence, S. C. The white residents of that town un animously protested against the reap pointment. The two South Carolina senators likewise protested j but Wilson was reappoiuted. It seems that the administration's policy is subject to alternation. In Delaware the protest of one senator re presenting the Addicks republicans is sufficient, while the protest ottwo sena tors in South Carolina is of no avail. THE STAMP OF TRUTH. Oregon City Residents Know it Well. Tim Democrats of Clackamas count y are a little bit intolerant. A few weeks ago a good Democrat from a countv pre cint, who happens to he the administra tor of an estate, had to have published a notice of fiual settlement. He direct ed his lawyer who is a very reputable gentleman not to have the publication made in the columns of the Oregon Citv Courier because forsooth when the County Judge, Thomas F. Ryau, went East in August '.to attend the Sovereign Graud Lodge of Oikt Fellows and other things and was away from his ollica for some months, the Courier did not give the Judge a roast insteaof wrlteup. Now we are of the opinion that this Demo cratic friend of ours is a little too dras tic. The five dollars he paid L. L. Por ter for publishing his final notice of right belonged to us and he was in no wise spreading Democratic doctrine by pay ing his money into the till of a Republi can uewepapor. It is true that Judge Rysn was out of his oilice for nearly two months aud that his salary went on just the same as if he hud been at home. However, the couuty was not damaged thereby. Less money was spent during the two months while the Judge was away than during any other two months during the yeart It is true that a few people who had matters of importance to transact villi the Countv Judge did There is the stamp of truth on a state ment endorsed by people we know, . by our neighbors. The following experi. ence of a citizen is but one case of scores right here at home. 15. Meredith, the I'orllaiul brick ma son, contractor and builder, who lives at 501 21st street, says: ''Doan's Kidney rills is one of the best remedies 1 vur used and I cheerfully recommend t em to anyone suffering with kidney tiouble. I was bothered for years with attacks of kidney complaint, and no medicine gave me permanent relief until I procured Dobu's Kidney Pills.
