Chamberlain, Salem, Or. Dear Gov ernor: Your welcome and long- expectedt though somewhat delayed Tetter of the 22nd inst. is at hand and. I now hasten to lay down my hoe and take up my pen to answer the same and tell you how glad I am that you remember at the last moment, that I'm a "reliable citizen" and interested in the "lowering of taxes.' Being the owner of a farm, being also a reliable and I hope an honest citizen, I am of course exceedingly anxious to avoid paying my share of the taxes and I assure you that your scheme of making the corporations pay all the state taxes strikes me as being "bully" as far as it goes, hut, dear George, why shouldn't we make the corporations, franchises, etc., pay all our -taxes, just before elec tion, at any rate? Tour figures are no doubt correct or you, being an honorable gentleman, would not use them; there fore, if we can get our Assessor to raise the assessment of the S. P. R. R. com pany in this county to what you say it should be assessed, and. of course, you, being Governor, know what's what (Just before election); why, we would not need to assess another living soul (excuse me, George, I forgot that corporations have no souls). To make my assertion more clear, I will give you a few figures for your perusal during your spare moments while your salary runs on. Tou say that the railroads of Oregon are worth $76,000, 000 and are only being taxed on $10,. 929.000, or about one-seventh of their ac tual value, while we poor, oppressed farmers are assessed for the cash value of our land. That sounds awful nloe, George, to us Jackson County farmers, because we now have the B. P. R. R. cojnpany alone (eay nothing of other corporations) assessed for the sum of $2,843,285.80. Now if that la only one-seventh of what they should pay on, seven-sevenths, or the amount they should pay- on, Is equal to the sum of $19,903,697.60. That is considerably more than the total assessment of Jackson County for the year of 1905, which was the sum of $12,712,023. On this assessed valuation we raised in round numbers, for all purposes, state, Bchool, county, city, special school, special city, roadsv everything, $175,000. Now if our Assessor had only assessed the S. P. R. R. company right, every mother's son of us could have gone scot free, and we could have lowered the rate of taxa tion several mills on the dollar and still have had more money than we now have. Dear George, I want to say right here that you have a great head on you. Why didn't you speak of it sooner, so that we might have more money to "blow In" helping to re-elect you? We farmers who have sons and daugh ters to educate are simply delighted with your noble efforts to destroy the Normal schools of this State. We also keenly ap preciate your logic when you held up the appropriation bill so that the State Treas urer could wax and grow rich from the sums received from the use of the "held up" State funds amounting to over a mil lion dollar, on which sum we are paying 6 per cent interest. We are real glad that you reminded us of this. George, for we might (?) have forgotten it on election iay. It makes us sit up nights and laugh, when we realize how you have reduced our State taxes Oust before election) to the measly sum of $19,625. on which we are now paying 6 per cent interest and which has been set aside for you. Now, George, It is really too bad that an unappreciatlve public are opposing you on account of your 29 vetoes (made for political purposes only). It makes one al most lose faith in humanity. In conclusion I must confess that I'm afraid that your letter came to hand so late that It will be Impossible for me to stop the stampede for that Foreigner, who, like yourself, holds onto his job, but draws his not salary, and makes a red hot campaign, against the Democracy and who, unlike yourself, is working for his whole ticket (Darn a hog, anyway,) I re fer to James Withycombe, a straight forward, earnest and capable man, who is not yet up in politics far enough to tie able to hold a candle to you when It comes to handing out bunches of politi cal "buncom." Now, dear George, if it should so happen that on the 4th day of next June you receive only one-seventh of the votes in Jackson County that you feel should be given you. I hope you will not feel hurt and will not treasure up any animosities against me, for it will only add to your discomfort and will please greatly Your "Reliable Farmer" Friend, GEO. W. DUNN. NEW CANDIDATES APPEAR Rev. J. P. TJ. Llwyd, of Seattle, an Aspirant for Oregon Bishopric. New candidates continue to appear for the high place of Bishop of Oregon, though the three last named by The Ore gonian are still most talked of by the clergy of the Episcopal Church, and will be considered at the June convention. One of the new candidates frequently named is Rev. J. P. D. Liwyd, rector of St. Mark's Church, Seattle. He Is spoken of by the supporters of Dr. dampen, of San Francisco, as a probable second choice In the event that the latter will not accept the office. However, . there axe other irons In the. Are, and the recommendation of Dr. Hunt ington, of Grace Church, New York, in favor of Rev. C C. Rollit, of Red Wing, Minn., is having its weight with a certain faction. Mr. Rollit Is said to have many desirable qualifications for the position, and the fact that a man of Dr. Hunting ton's standing personally recommends him to the consideration of the Oregon body is considered significant and Indicative of his high merit Again, there are those who Insist that the Very Rev. Paul Matthews, dean of the Cathedral of Cincinnati, is the only man for bishop, although, as in Mr. Clam pett's case. It Is almost certain that he would not accept. Dr. Matthews was at one time elected bishop coadjutor of Mil waukee, but declined the position. He comes of a distinguished family, his fa ther having been Justice of the United States Supreme Court. The names of Archdeacon C. Y. Grimes, of Olympia; Rev. Charles Scadding, of La Grange, 111., and Dr. Clampett. of Ban Francisco, are still as much talked of as last week. The list of lay delegates is now practically complete. DECOMPOSED BODY FOUND Believed to Be Tbat of the Man . Drowned From O. K. Spencer. A decomposed body, evidently that of a laboring man, was found by a party of pleasure-seekers near one of the sloughs on Swan Island yesterday afternoon. The corpse is thought to be that of the man who fell from the steamer Charles R. Spencer about 10 days ago. The face is so decomposed from the effects of water that the features are unrecognizable. Coroner Finley was notified and removed the remains to his undertaking estab lishment last night. The body Is that of a man about 25 or 40 years old, clothed in a pair of overalls and a blue jumper. The man was about 6 feet 10 Inches tall. He was of light complexion and wore a sandy mustache. Rank L. Smith Meat Co. 22S ALDEH STREET, Betweea FtTst and Second.
