morrow you take the count.
Judge Cleton of Portland, for the
supreme court; Frank S. Grant, Port
land, attorney general; Judge Ben
nett, of The Dalles and Dr. Charles
J. Smith of Portland for governor,
are the latest announcements.
One hundred, seventy-two depu
ties leeching the state under the fish
and game commission and we wonder
at high taxes. At the risk of loosing
the legal notices for the opening and
closing streams, here is stating the
whole scheme should be abolished as
a gold brick.
Some of the newspapers still think
that we should fight it out with Mex
ico, rather than to let the greasers
fight it out themselves, but we note
that these critics of Wilson and Bryan
have only this one suggestion and
of course they would not do any of
the fighting.
Forty-seven years ago, when far-
seeing Secretary Seward insisted on
the U. S. buying Alaska from Russia
for 7,200,000, men in congress and
in private condemned the deal as
wanton waste. Alaska is practically
unueveiopaa as yet, dui u nas al
ready produced over $150,000,000 in
furs, fish and gold.
The trunk line railroads are again
at it giving a rate of S30 from Mis-
souri River points to bring more
wage earners to lengthen Oregon's
bread lines. Uregon's climate has al
ready advertised this country too
well. We don't want any more work
men. We want lower priced land and
men to buy it and clear 'it.
The Banks Herald, commenting on
the gubernatorial situation, says
should U'Ren decide to stay in the
race, he would be most certain to get
tne nomination. U'Ken has a certain
contingent of followers that he can
count on, no matter what happens,
ana tnis strength, with the vote
split up among eight other candi
dates, would probably give him enough
oi a majority to elect him.
State Treasurer Tom Kay is verily
the watchdog of the treasury. He
does not propose to pay out the peo
ple's money to please West and pro
mote the governor's political game.
woodburn independent.
Yes, Key, Crawford and that bunch
are some dogs all right. If they
only showed the same watchfulness
for the state s interests that they do
to block West's moves, this would
be a different Oregon.
The Copperfield p-anc that Govern
or West cleaned the stables for, want
to start a recall, and state thev can
get thl required signatures. No doubt
they could. Every pimp would en
roll; the red light district would ped
dle petitions; many saloon men
would aid the cause; politicians would
boost the game from hiding, and the
required signatures could be gotten.
But at the election the decent Deoule
would bury the recall so deep a scent
or it would never worK out.
. Can't the legislature pas a law
with a plain construction ? One after
another the laws passed by the last
session are up lor interpretation, and
the state, doesn't know where it isat.
One after another of the laws are
referred to the attorney general to
define what they mean. Oregon's
legislature is a joke. The laws that
stick, and the laws the people under
stand are the initiative laws the people
make.
How would you like to do a fifty
year Rip Van Winkle snooze and
have someone jerk you ou$ of it
along about breakfast time in the
year of 1905?
This old trust-made world will be
going some in that spring, and we
wonder how much in excess of the
present speed limit things will be
running. There is power in man's
head to do and undo almost anything,
and fifty years from now we will
look back at the present hdiieveh
ments about as we look back at
Watts. But the most of WE won't be
very much interested in things out
side the cemetery fence, unless the
M. D's wedge in a little more over
time on Why We Run Down. But men
go crazy' thinking of the whys and
possibilities, and there are vague
rumors that the Courier editor isn't
just right now. Let's forget it and
read the latest Mexican development.
BETTER START NOW
AN early start and a definite plan goes
far toward assuring success to the
young man or woman starting out in life.
No need of being "stingy" neither should
f you be a "spender." The sensible and
easy method of creating a fund for your
future needs is to open an account "with
this bank; deposit whatever you can
each week or month. Stick to it, and
in time your success will be assured.
Better start now; you will never regret
It.

EDITOR
WEST
It is related to the Courier editor
that when the temperance people
went to Governor West and asked
him to again be a candidate for gov
ernor he told them if all parties in
the state would, nominate him hei
would decline
Because he would HAVE TO.
- Because he could not afford to be
governor again that his financial
condition would not permit.
That Copperfield alone cost him
$1,000 out of his pocket.
Just ahead of this, the tip was
passed out to the "faithful" to dump
West at the May primaries, if he was
a candidate, and all Democrats get
together on one man, if necessary, to
tip him over.
They figured that the country vote
and the women would not turn out to
the primaries and the "old line" Dem
ocrats could get enough West-haters
and job wanters in line, to give him
the axe.
But West says he won't run; that
he can t take the office again, and
this ends him lor governor.
If he was nominated in the primar
ies or by petition of the people, the
Courier knows he would be elected by
the people.
West has done things in his own
West way, but he HAS done things
he has gotten results and the things
he has dohe have all been for the
good of Oregon.
He has had against him his own
party politicians; the state officers,
the capitalists.
The whole bunch has come down
the line and fought fcim because they
could not control him could not use
him.
They have made life hell for him.
They -have given him what New York
gave Hughes.
lie has had to scrap them pretty
much alone, and a man of West's
means can't hold out for long against
these odds.
So West will step down and out:
And it will be some davs before
Oregon will have another governor
with his principles and his "pep."
QUESTIONS
The Department of commerce sta
tistics plainly show enormous in
crease in importations since the new
tariff law went into effect in the
line of food-stuffs.
In cattle there were three times
as many imported in the month of
November. 1913. than in same month
of 1912.
There were 63 times as many bu
shels of wheat, twice as many bar
rels of flour, 1200 times as many bu
shels of oats, 76 times as many bu
shels of potatoes, and fresh meat
doubled.
Now will someone rise and explain
why living prices do not come down ?
Do demand and supply or combina
tions and storage plants regulate
prices ?
Does the government run this
country or the capitalists?
IN OREGON
They have a direct wav of doiner
things in Oregon, all alone1 the line.
and we suspect that some day the
United States of America will be very
grateful to this cheerfully experi
mental state. What the secretary of
the governor did at Copperfield,
when she declared martial law in or
der to close the saloons, the voters
of the state have been doing in other
matters lor some time. When a situ
ation arises that calls for action they
act. Where an older community would
sit around and talk and cite prece
dents, Oregon writes in a new law
while you wait . Blunders happen
But, what is more important, pro
gress is made and the whole country

GOING OR COMING
R. A. Booth. Euirene's candidate
for the United States senate, is re
ported to have been met at the Pen
dleton depot the other day by a
"large and enthusiastic gathering of
leading citizens." It is a question
whether a man's popularity is shown
so much by the number of people
who meet him when he lands in town
as by the number who see him to the
depot when he leaves. Eugene

There is a lamentable disparity in
the assessed value of property thru
out Oregon. It results in a lament
able disparity in what taxpayers have
w jieui up in jmyiiii-iu oi ineir uues
to government, some paying vastly
more in proportion than do others.
It is an unjust and immoral practice.

HIDING A SORE
Letters are arriving from the
East inquiring why Oregon is in
such a condition that the ' mili
tia has to be called out by the
governor. We have received
some harmful advertising thru
the antics of Governor West,
whose impulsiveness and mar
tial law tactics have undone
much that has been done by
Oregon in the East. Beneficial
publicity has been damaged by
the wrong kind. of publicity.
Woodburn Independent.
This line of reasoning rattles a
little.
Copperfield was about as bad as
you find them, and the county and
the county and city officials let it re-
main bad.
West cleaned it up and the Inde
pendent says this was the wrong kind
of publicity.
Oregon City has had typhoid at ir
regular intervals because it has a in
thv source of drinking water.
So long as it was not advertised
and did not hurt business, the people
were apathetic.
But finally as a remedy it was
given publicity and the associated
press carried it all over the country,
It hurt, no'getting away from that.
but it is resulting in doing for Ore
gon City what the governor did to
Copperfield.
Hiding a sore isn't good advertis
ing. Curing the sore is.
BACK TO ROOST
Judge Bennett of The Dalles is
the latest,. Democratic possibility for
governor. And possibility is about all
he will be.
Judge Bennett wrote a letter in
1910. As a judge he should have had
better sense.
Now this letter bobs up, and it not
only makes every friend of Governor
West remember, but it makes of
Judge Bennet a ludicrous prophet.
Here is the chicken that comes
home to roost:
"I have reason to believe that
Mr. West is too close to the cor
porations, and that he is not in
sympathy with progressive
Democratic ideas.
"He went before the com
mittee in the last legislature
and lobbied in the interests of
the corporations and for this
and other reasons, I do not be
lieve him to be the proper man
for Democratic candidate for
the high office of governor.
HELP KILL IT
It is hearing primaries and Con
pressman Hawley has come out of
his trance.
He wants to go back to congress
and has commenced to hand out the
bunk.
He has commenced at the south
em end of the state and will prob
ably Vork up smoothly and system
atically.
He-would give Grant s Pass a min
ing experiment station at a cost of
$25,000; an engineer at $4,000 salary.
a chemist at $3,000 and assistant at
$2,000. No doubt his bill in congress
provides lor dumping this onto Ore
gon to provide for the eternal follow
ing expenses.
Just write a letter to Senators
Lane or Chamberlain and tell them
if this new commission should by any
possible means pa.i the house1 tfl
jump on it with both feet in the sen
ate.
And you remember Hawlev at the
May primaries.
uregon doesn t need any more
parasites on taxation. We have
plenty of commission leeches now.
BIG BUSINESS SHOULD WORRY
In the matter of taxation if the
the people will pay taxes when they
have the power to refuse to pay
them, then the people will continue
to do so; and the special privileges
continue to let them.
There are many farmers in Ore
gon whose total values are less than
$2,000 on the assessment rolls. In
Clackamas county the average was
less tnan in laiu.
There are many farmers whose to.
tal assessed values for improvements
and personal property are less than
$1,000. The average in Clackamas is
about $750, but let us sav $1,000.
The H-Tax Exemption amendment
would exempt that last from taxat
ion, and some farmers are afraid of
it for fear the taxes would be put
uacK on meir iana.
As the land of Clackamas county
is iuuy iwo-tniras tne total value,
and as this measure would not ex
empt timber, railroads, mills, factor
ips, water power nor electric lines
NOIt AN INCH OF LAND it is an
parent to any person who ever went
to school long enough to count that
the tax this measure proposes to ex
empt could not be put back on the
home-owner and working farmer, for
ne nas not m his posession the values
upon which it would fall. Those who
have these values have not the votes.
Why be afraid of them?
Now, a farmer having a thousand
dollars exempted from tax would
save , let us say, $20. The increase on
his land would be one-tenth, possibly.
If he had $1,000 of assessed raw land
values he would pay $22 instead ot
$20 on that,' and thus be $18 ahead.
Of course the opposition will tell
ns that it will increase the tax on the
UN-exempted property one-sixth. As
they generally tell the truth with
about 50 per cent lies mixed in we
can figure from that basis and do
very well.
A farmer with $5,000 in land and
$1,000 exempted property would still
pay precisely the same tax as he does
now, if the opposition is correct. If
one-tenth is the correct estimate of
what would be exempt then he could
have $9,000 in land to $1,000 in ex-
emped property and still be even.
Next year the water powers nf
this county are to be assessed, and
also the sites that would give ac
cess to them. The Clackamas county
farmer should sign up that Exemp
tion petition and lose no sleep over
whose land would take ud the burden
of the exemption it would allow him.
A few dollars are wanted to heln
defray the necessary expenses of the
Home-Tax Exemption League. The
securing of signatures is a vital mat
ter. Without them the measure can
not be submitted to the voters, and
unless the people take enough inter
est in their own affairs to reduce
their taxes on their homes when they
have a chance, theft- the tax-eater, the
special privileged corporation and
the absentee land speculator are jus
tified in holding that the working
iarmers ana workingmen of Uregon
like to be taxed, want to be taxed
more and SHALL be taxed more.
The Courier will receive contribu
tions and has a blank petition any
person can sign. Call around and help
out
WHERE'S THE MAN?
(Alfred Cridge)
Some politicians do not seem to re
alize that it takes time to make t
reputation as a true servant of the
people in order to be elected to any
important position.
There Is a splendid opportunity for
some assessor of some county in Ore-
gon to mke himself governor of the
state, or U. S. Senator within a very
few years if he will use a little com
mon sense and daring.
All he has to do is to quit taxing
men anywhere in his county for do
ing what people want them to do.
In every county in Oregon we want
people to build homes and rear fac
tories, to clear land and cultivate it.
And then if any man does these
things we allow the assessor to treat
him as a public enemy and mark him
down for a fine the next year.
Any assessor who will say to the
people of his county: "Citizens, the
time has come to enforce the assess
ment laws with a little common
sense. Common sense is the base ot
all law. It is not common sense to
assess people for building and manu
facturing and clearing. Hereafter
will assess the improved land as high
as the unimproved lot, the cleared
field as high as the untitled wilder
ness along side, and no higher. I have
never complied with the letter of the
law in making up an assessment roll,
and no assessor ever has or ever can
do so. The board of equalization has
accepted these imperfect rolls and
the courts have upheld them in do
ing so. In the past I have- exercised
my judgement to the best of my abil
ity, and I confess to you my judge
ment has been poor and faulty,
founded on foolish distinctions and
has given the working farmer, the
home owner aad the workingman in
the country and city an unjust load
to carry.
"Fellow citizens: hereafter in Hoss-
sense county I shall overlook the lit
tle household dunder, the live stock
and improvements of the settler
struggling to make a living. I will
forget his fences and remember his
clearings no more. The cottage in the
towns will be forgotten and the man
who sets up a little machinery to
utilize the natural products of Ore
gon will be encouraged to do it some
more for I will assess . only his site
values, and the fellow playing dog-in-the
manger will be given as much
of the public load to carry with his
unused site along side as the man
who helps develop Oregon with his
energy, capital and enterprise.
Law? Don't ouote law to me. I
know what the big speculators and
the corporation lawyers have told us,
out they nave been fooling you
yes, and me all these years. The law
is what you want it to be. So I am go
ing to apply the Houston, Texas
plan. If your board of equalization
refuses to approve it after I have
turned in- my assessment roll, then
you can either recall them or recall
me. I will show you an assessment
roll that will reduce the taxes on
every working and producing, useful
and honorable man and woman in
the community. It will increase the
taxes on a few land speculators, most
of whom live out of the county, and
a few big property owners who can
afford to pay more taxes because
of their privileges and past tax-dodging.
If every man who has his taxes
reduced stands by me I will be sus
tained by a big majority. It will be
up to you. I am going to do mv dutv
and nothing but my duty, so help me
UOQ.
Such a man, if such there be.
among the 32 assessors of Oregon,
would come through the contest with
victory perched upon his banners, as
did Assessor Pastoreza, of Houston,
Texas; and his political future would
be assured.. Every countv adioininc
would be obliged to follow the lead of
the Houston assessor.
Where is the man in Oree-on with
sand in his craw and sense in his
head and stiffness enough in his back
bone to follow this Houston assessor,
and turn things loose ?
ine times demand men now as
much as ever.
A few mass meetinc demanding
the Houston plan might stiffen some
assessor up to it. and a recall of snmi
jelly-fished mossback assessor might
wake the remaining 31 to the point
of ascertaining what the law was
made for. That is for men and not
for speculators, tax dodgers and ab
sentee land grant owners.
ihere is plenty of money to build
roads with if the working tax payers
go after it right. Mud and wallows
in alternating1 successions with hills
and mud flats are not necessary in
such a county as Clackamas.
Who amone our assessors wants
to be governor of Oregon, United
states Senator or to occupy anv
other office within the gift of the
people? Let him get busy.
SUGGESTIONS
What is the matter with the
city governments of Oregon
City, Aurora, Hillsboro, Wood
burn, Beaverton, Gervais and
other towns through which the
band of unemployed passed?
Have these towns perfect
streets and perfect roads lead
ing to them?
If not, they should have wel
comed these men, whom our al
ert and resourceful governor
handled so successfully, with
open arms, for we all know in
Oregon that our taxpayers hes
itate to construct good roads
and streets because of high pric
ed labor. McMinnville Tele
phone Rgistr.
This is one of the solutions of the
unmployed problem, and the whole
country is bound to come to it if we
permit competition to pour in on ev
ery European steamer.
But it will go farther than the
cities. It will embrace country roads,
public works, public buildings, irri
gation projects, etc.
Men have the right to work and
ive, and if the country has not the
demand to meet the Vightv.then each
state .must make the demand and
provide work.
REMEDIES
Rufus R. Wilson, director of the
Humbolt Development Co. of Eureka.
Cal., is one of a few men who sees
what is coming to the Pacific coast
in the way of wage earners when the
canal opens.
And Wilson is one of a few men
who has sand enough to state what
conditions will be and to offer reme
dies.
He says revise the tax laws, tax
waste land as high as producing land,
and we will double the cultivation,
lessen the burden on taxation and de
velop the whole coast country.
The first Pacific coast state to do
this, he predicts, will become richest
and most prosperous. He adds that
responsible officials of foreign steam
ship companies say upward of 300,000
tickets have been sold already in Eu
rope for. Pacific coast ports, to be
used during 1915, and that tne pre
diction is an immigration of 40,000 a
week between May and September
of that year.
ShduH half of this emigration ma
terialize the three Pacific states will
have some problems to solve and
unless something is done, they may
hard ones. . .
These emigrants must be given a
chance to get onto the land, and the
waste land must be cheapened in
price or it will be impossible.
Wilson's idea to tax dead land so
high speculators cannot afford to hold
it, and tax labor and improvements
so low that it will encourage indus
try, are along the right lines.
Governor Johnson of California
up the proposition, and it is expected
and Lister of Washington are taking
Governor West will also assist.
IN THE AIR
The future policy of roads in Clack
amas county is very much unsettled
The bonding proposition interest
is detracted from by the fact that the
new law promises to thoroughly up
set the present supervisor system.
The attorney general advises the
county court that the new law requir
ing a road master or county survey
or to make plans and specifications
and let woik by contract in districts
that expend $1,000, is mandatory and
must be observed.
Under this law many hold that per
manent good roads can be built with
out bonding, as at least $250,000 will
be available.
Manv who favor the bondincr prop
osition insist that the Pacific High
way be given an absolute divorce
from the deal, and the entire milage
be put on county roads, or there will
be no hope of its carrying.
ihe county court, profiting by the
experience of many states that have
been grafted to the bone under the
contract system, is going slow, and
looking carefully before appointing
engineers, deputies, etc.
Un the other hand it is the opin
ion of attorneys who have carefully
studied the law, that no road dis
trict has any right to expend a dol
lor on roads, except in emergency
cases, where the district has $1,000
or over, until it is expended as the
new law provides.
And it would seem that everything
is up in the air until the whole people
of the county can get together and
agree with the county court on some
general plan.
1 he court does not have to appoint
a civil engineer to oversee the roads
and make plans and specifications.
it must, however, appoint the
county surveyor, and of course this
big county is far too big a job for
one man to get into shape for a gen
eral permanent road contract prop
osition for this summer.
So the whole matter is verv much
up in the air.
It is a big responsibility nut onto
the county court.
Un its course the bond proposition
is more or less resting.
Should it go ahead, appoint engi
neers, deputies and the necessary
help for a general contract system,
and should the system fail, because
of inability, or the grafting system
wnicn looiea xsew iorK state, then on
the court would be heaped the curs
es of the people.
Should they refuse to appoint the
necessary officials and allow the road
making time go to waste for want
of plans and specifications for the
many road districts, then will their
protests and condemnations fill the
air.
How would you like to be the coun
ty judge or a commissioner for the
next six months?
THE SECOND STEP
One of the interesting stories the
news dispatches give us is that a mu
nicipal store has been opened in Chi
cago wnere groceries are sold at ab
solute cost
This undertaking is bred of nec
essity, because of high prices and
little work.
Thee ity appropriated $25,000 for
tne emergency store and the dis
patches state if it proves successful
a chain of stores will be started in
the city.
mere is no question of the "suc
cess" of a store that will sell goods
witnout profit.
But the success will raise the devil
with the stores in the same line, for
they can't compete with the one that
does not take profit.
But if the wholesalers and middle
men will continue to demand the big
prom Detween ine maker and tne
eater then municipal stores will come
and goods will be given to the needy

The municipal market was the
The municipal store is the second.
And when the wholesalers and
manufacturers attempt to freeze out
tne municipal stores, then will come
the third step.
WEST FOR CONGRESS
The Courier learns that friends of
Governor West, since his refusal to
again be a candidate for governor,
are urging that he be a candidate for
congress.
The Courier sincerely hopes this
is true, hopes that his friends all ov
er the state will urge him to run and
hopes the governor will accept
- If West would allow his name to
go before the May primaries he
would unquestionably be nominated,
or if he would accept an independent
nomination by petition, he would be
elected by the biggest vote ever giv
en to a congressman in Oregon.
Oregon has two United States sen
ators who are on the job for Oregon
every day in the week at Washington.
And this district has a congress
man who might as well be in a mor
gue so far as accomplishing anything
of need for this state.
We need a big man like West to
work with our senators.
Oregon would be very much on the
map with this big three, at Washing
ton. West would wipe the slate clean of
Hawley if he would let the people run
him for congress.

I believe that ' a public officer
should conduct a public office with
same degree of care, efficiency and
economy that he would exercise in
his private business, and I pledge
myself to so conduct the office, if el
ected, to the best of my judgement.
I would sincerely appreciate the
support of the voters of Clackamas
county.

THIS NEW MEDICINE
SAVES YOU MONEY
We are druggists right here in
town and make a living out of the
drug business, but it is because
people have to have drugs and not
because we like to see people suffer
we don't. Our duty is to render the
best service we can, and when some
one is ailing, jve are interested in
seeing them take the best medicine
there is for tehir particular trouble.
We don't recommend "cure-alls," as
we don't believe there are such things
fand we don't want you to spend more
than you have to. Some ot you get
small wages, and when you are sick,
none at all, and you should get the
most you can for your money.
We recently came across a new
remedy for increasing strength and
building up people who are run down
and emaciated. We know that a slight
trouble sometimes grows into a ser
ious one, and to stop it in the begin
ning will save you money in the end.
This new compound1 is called Rexall
Olive Oil Emulsion. It is the best re
medy, when you are run-down, tired
out, nervous no matter what the
cause. It doesn't merely stimulate you
and make you feel good for af ew
hours, but takes hold of the weak
ness and builds you up to a healthy,
normal condition. It is a real nerve
food, tonic and builder og good blood,
strong muscle, good digestion. It
contains Hypophosphites, which tone
the nerves, the blood and the entire
system. Pleasant to take. Contains no
alcohol or habit-forming drugs. We
promise that if you are not perfectly
satisfied with it, we'll give back your
money ,as soon as you tell us. Sold
only at the 7,000 Rexall Stores, and
in this town only by us. $1.00. Hunt

Women and Wet Feet
Cold and wet feet are a dangerous
combination especially to women, and
congested kidneys often result. Bach
ache, urinary irregularities and rheu
matic fevers are not unusual results.
Foley Kidney Pills restore the regu
lar and normal action of kidneys and
bladder and remove the cause of the
trouble. Contain no habit forming
drugs. Huntley Bros. Co.
