J .-?-The two great Oregon apostles of h poor have been telling on each other. To be a self-poised friend of the laborer eems to be a paying pro , jfession. Boise says Pennoyer is get ting more money from the state than he m nntitlerl to. Pennover says he had a right to take more than the constitu . ii i u: 0Af fl.A op tica auowea uccauso awios v- jample when he was in the supreme court The people of Oregon have charitably supposed that Pennoyei's , vagaries stopped at vagaries and will be grieved to learn that he is a Falstaff ia roguery as welf aB-in clownishness. If his" avarioious tendencies have been 'maintained during the entire office the state has paid oial clown, for, ac statement, this $1,500 irnor ot pmun- stands these piping Bters. hjven have some own annoyer the merit of taking, a rest. From a comparison of the salaries oaid to assessors in other countias of the state, it is evident that.the assessor of Benton is either "not on to his job" when it comes to charging for his ser vices, or else the county court is ex tremely careful in the disbursement of county finances. c The salaries paid in some of the other counties are as fol- i lows: Clatsop $5,000.00 Umatilla 4,000.00 Marion. 3,500.00 Linn. 2,800.00 Yamhili: 2,200.00 Lane '. 2,200.00 Benton 1,100.00 The Manufacturers' Record believes that the new tariff bill will never be come a law in its present shape. It would strike a severe blow to too many industries in all sections, although it might be supposed to have been pre pared mainly lor the purpose of crip pling the growing industrial interests in the south. & But the Manufacturers' Record opposes,it, not simply because it would mean the crippling of many southern interests and stay the prog ress of that section, but also on the broader ground of national policy. The business men of the south must oppose it with all the power that they have, and do it for self-preservation, and, if need be, regardless of political affiliations. The Manufacturers' Re cord believes that the business interests of the country, rising above any party consideration, will compel a very great change in this bill and a readjust ment on fairer lines before it can pass the house and senate. During Cleveland's' first adminis tration it was a big treasury surplus that gave the democrats so much trouble. Now they are having a big time with a larger treasury deficit. The Oregon Pacific is not the only railroad that is in financial difficulty. The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe system and the New York ' and New England roads went into the hands of receivers -the other day and ; now a strike involving 3,500 men is threat ened on the Northern Pacific on ac count of another reduction in wages. 1 There are a lot of mountains of le gal difficulties to cross before the O. P. gets over the Cascades if they nnnnt ha tunneled Salem States man. Correct, but fhat is not the question at the present time that is troubling the employes and men that furnished material for operating the road. . A U .,,.. Tha ewntrnrn tnent is running behind at the rate, of $6,000,000 per month and the demo crats seem to think that the best rem edy for such a condition of things is a tariff bill that is calculated to double this deficiency. : - - yer, Tind V" ve Cr h lr Jan ful lit is jto re- Pen- yer BOARD OF EQUALIZATION. Benton's Assessment All Right No Raise In Valuations Anticipated. The legislature of 1891 passed a law creating a state board of equalization, to be composed of one member from ! each judicial district, who shall assem ble at the state capitol on the first Tuesday in December, annually, and remain in session not to exceed thirty days thereafter. The secretary of the board compiles an abstract of the as sessment rolls received from the various counties, into a tabular statement for the use and guidance of the board dur ing their deliberations. During the session, one day is set apart for hearing representatives from each county in the state. Last Thursday was the day assigned to Benton county, and the op portunity was taken advantage of by County Judge Hufford and Assessor Alexander. The roll from this county shows valuations on nearly all classes of property to be greatly in excess of those in most other counties, and an effort was made by our representatives to secure a reduction, especially on sheep, horses and agricultural lands. In March Mr. Alexander began the work of assessing Benton county. Times were good and sheep more eas ily worth $2.00 per head, and were ho assessed. The price, however, during the summer depreciated materially, and now they are hardly worth $1.50 per head. The same may be said to be true of horses, and agricultural lands. The average valuation placed on the former being $36.86 and on the latter $8.18. The combined valuation of property in Lincoln and Benton counties for 1893 is nearly a million dollars in ex cess of the 1892 assessment, which in proportion, is probably the largest gain made by any other county in the state. That Benton county's land is assessed high enough is attested by valuations in adjoining counties. The average valu ation placed on agricultural land in Lane county is $6.98 per acre in Linn, $10.31; in Polk, $9.68; Benton, $8.18, Polk county, with nearly double the area of Benton, shows 205,867 acres of agricultural land, while Benton has 249,683 acres on her roll or 43,816 in excess of Polk. Polk's representatives before the board were conspicuous for their absence. They probably do not anticipate any sweeping reduction in their roll. Representatives before the board from many other counties would have the board take their roll as at basis of eqalization, and in so doing antago nized some members of the board by charging that valuations in his county or " district were disproportionate. Judge Hufford however, is more of a diplomat and instead of wasting his time in a senseless harrangue on the foibles of Borne other county . and its officials, he pursued altogether a dif ferent course and. made a written statement showing all the material reasons why reductions should be made on the. assessed valuations of certain classes of property in this county. The statement showed that last spring when the assessor began his labors, property was mora valuable, or at least was in greater demand, than it was subsequently during the year, and the valuations placed ou property early in the season on the then ruling prices were disproportionate with the value of similar classes of property some months later, but the assessor was compelled, in order to make an equitable assessment, to adhere to the basis of valuation inaugurated by him at the commencement of his labors. On this ground he asked that the as sessment be reduced on sheep from $2.00 per head to $1.50; on horses, from $36.86 to, $30. He also asked for . a reduction on agricultural land. The valuations placed on other classes of property did not appear out of pro portion, and the board were asked to leave such items undisturbed. Judge Hufford is of the opinion that some concessions will be granted to the tax payers of this county in the way of reductions, and that an increase will not be made on any class of property. To many, the state board of equali zation seems a delusion and a snare, and it may be they are. If, however, they perform their duties as prescribed by the statute they are a decided bene- fit,especially so to Benton county which has the reputation, and justly too, of listing the largest percentage of prop erty lying within her borders and placing an . adequate valuation there on. 1 be injustice worked -upon the taxpayers of a county through an in equitable assessment is in the payment of state taxes, for the reason that the state levy is the same in each county. For instance, if the sheep . in. Polk "County are valued at $1.00 per head and in this county thev are valued ' at $2.00, it would be - plainly an injas- ice on the : taxpayers of the lattert Right here is where tjie board of equalization step in and make an equitable adjustment. At least this is the function for which they were cre ated and in so doing are an indispen sible adjunct to our system of taxation. m i m WASHINGTON LETTER. Washington, Dec. 23, 1893. "Protection for all, or for none." That's the. motto under which they will make the tariff fight After care ful consideration they have come to the conclusion that it would not be fair to the interests of the thousands who will be deprived of protection by the Cleve land tariff bill should it ever become a law, for them to vote with the fifty or sixty democratic representatives who are trying to get protection for certain industries in their respective districts, by amending the bill. They will work to defeat, not to amend the bill; if the dissatisfied democrats are patriotic enough to vote with ' them against the entire bill, well and good; if not, let their constituents take their dose of free trade along with the rest of the country. Mr. Cleveland has not made a single new friend for his Hawaiian policy, which has few enough old ones, heav en knows, by his tardy answer to the demands of senate and house for the papers in the case. Notwithstanding the great mystery with which the ad ministration has sought to surround the whole business there is little in either the special message or the ac companying documents that was not previously known, and absolutely nothing that excuses the extraordinary policy of the administration. If blood be shed in Hawaii, and the latest news seems to indicate that it will be, the American people will rightfully hold Grover Cleveland responsible for it. Democratic lepresentatives are al ready going home in droves for the Christinas holidays; they want to as certain what their constituents think of the Cleveland tarifl bill. "Uncle Joe" Cannon and other re publican members of the house com mittee on appropriations gave com missioner Lochren, of the pension bu reau, a very bad half hour when he ap peared before the committee and en deavored to explain the reason for the deficiency appropriation of $300,000, which he had asked for to pay special examiners. "Uncle Joe" tried hard to get the commissioner to give a sensi ble reason for suspending a man's pen sion before its illegality was investi gated, but lie didn't succeed, for the same reason that a sixteen-year-old child doesn't believe in Santa Claus - there isn't any. Mr. Canuon and Rep resentative Lacey, of Iowa, made tell ing speeches against the administration pension policy in the house Saturday. A member from Georgia appeared to be about the only friend the yolicy had. Speaking of pensions, William A. Taylor, late democratic candidate for lieutenant governor of Ohio, has pre sented a memorial to congress, asking that the treatment of Ohio pensioners by this administiation be investigated. Mr. Taylor does not mince words . in saying what he believes such an inves tigation will establish as incontroverti ble facts, among othersf'"that the gov ernment has been placed in a false and cruel attitude by its accredited and au thorized agents and representatives; that the pension office was deceived in to this false attitude by a conspiracy of such audacity and magnitude as to stagger belief." Mr. Taylor does not say so in his memorial, but if there was a conspiracy such as he charges, the chief conspirator was Grover Cleve land. Mr. Taylor says further -in his memorial that the charges upon which Ohio pensioners were suspended were "a part of that conspiracy" and were made "without investigation or a de sire to investigate The - democrats of the house committee on invalid pen- sions, ot wnicn isepreseniawve mar . -r. - . n r tin, of Indiana, is chairman, to which this memorial was referred, made an unsuccessful attempt to prevent its be ing made public, but Mr. Lacey, of Iowa, made it a part of his pension speech.;, ".. . v The secret is out.. For a time those not in the secret were at loss to under stand the action of the house commit tee on rules, ia leporting continuing orders giving the right of way to the bills for the admission to statehood of the territories of Utah, Arizona and New Mexico, but they are no Jonger at a loss to account for it. These or ders, which euabled the. . bills in ques tion to get through the house in such a rush, were the result of a bargain-, hav ing for its object . the gaining : of six votes for the Cleveland tariff bill in the senate. The compact : being, that the administration was to put the bills through congress at once, and in ': re turn the democratic bosses of the terri tories named pledged themselves to send senators who would vote, for the Cleveland tariff' bill and ' all other measures supported by the administra tion. The house part' of the bargain has been carried out without any loss of time, lit remains to be seen what the1 senate -will do. There are repul-, lican senators who favor the, admission of all these territories, if Oklahoma be also admitted, but it is not probable that they will allow them to get in in time to send senators here to vote on the tariff bill. MIDWINTER FAIR. To the Editor: We desire to call your attention to the great oppoitunity for Oregon and its prosperity offered to us by the mid winteo fair to be held in San Francisco from January to July, 1894. The committee to whom the matter is en trusted desire in every way to make this movement a general and popular one, believing that many people will be drawn-' from the colder climate of the Atlantic and Eastern states, and will be introduced to the milder and better climates of the states of the Pacific coast. Oregon has broad acres, a cli mate unsurpassed anywhere, and un rivaled natural resources. These she offers as an inducement to the home seeker from the east. Many of this class of our fellow citizens will un doubtedly visit the fair. It is pro posed to erect a suitable building on the grounds at San Francisco, to be known as the "Oregon building." The exhibits of the state are to be made in this building, and by a special order made by the board of managers of the midwinter fair, all exhibits made in the "Oregon building" shall be entitled to all rights of competition for premium the same exactly as in the "general buildings" of the fair. The manage ment of this exhibit will be virtually under the charge of the same gentle men who so ably represented the state of Oregon at the world's Columbian exposition, and the results of their la bor in Chicago are no doubt well known to you, and are so well evinced by the numerous premiums and awards which they brought home to our peo ple. In order to raise funds for this work, the committee has incorporated under a capital stock of $20,000, at odo dollar per share. All Oregonians are asked to take as many of these shares as they possibly can, and none should hesitate to subscribe for at least one share, if for no other reason than to preserve the bond for a "souvenir." The world's fair commissioners have saved $20,000 of the amount appro priated by the state for the Columbian exposition; and it is proposed to repay from this fund to all purchasers of stock, the amount of their purchases. The committee will do all in its power to bring about the legislation of this matter at the next session of the legis lature. The "editorial" committee beg you to use your influence and spare a portion of your valuable space in your paper in inducing your fellow citizens to subscribe to this enterprise, which is purely Qregonian, made by Ore gonians, for the benefit of Oregon, looking solely to the growth and pros perity of our state. Very respectfully, S. H. Friedlander, Ch'm'n. Hiram E. Mitchell, R. W. Mitchell. Mrs, J. II. Hoksnydee, 152 Pacific Ave,, Santa Cruz, Cal writes i " When a girl, at school, in Beading, Ohio, I had a severe attack of brain ' ' fever. On my recovery, I found myself perfectly bald, and, for a long time, I . feared I should be permanently so. Friends urged me to nse Ayer's Hair Vigor, and, on doing so, my hair Began to Grow, ; and I now have as fine a head of hair as one could wish for, being changed, how ever, from blonde to dark brown." : " After a fit of sickness, my hair came ; out in combfulls. .

Hillsboro, Dec. 28. Word comes that, grading on the Portland-Hillsboro electric motor line will he commenced next week if the weather is at Ml favoralile. The com pany already have the line completed a dis tance of three miles to the top of the hills back of Po.tland. It is planned to extend the road to Cedar Mills, a distance of two miles by April and then push on to Hiils boro as rapidly as possible. The majority of the state board of equal ization spent Christinas here. The mem bers desired to make a personal inspection the better to enable them to judge why it is justice te assess lauds in Washington county oil an average at $10.50 per acre while in Multnomah, adjoining, lauds are valued on the roll at $50. Th board was in the best of humor and wittily re marked that while they found many people who want the assessment lowered, not one had applied for a raise. The Odd Fellows publicly install officers next Wednesday. Invitations to the cere monies however, are confined to the mem bers of the order and their families. The small hoy was out yesterday liuntiiit; for ice. He found the pond, but not the glassy covering. There is bright sunshine but the teeth oE winter have not yet been sharpened. The project of starting a milk skimming station is agitating here. It is too far with present facilities of transportation to send milk to market, bat the demand fur cream has not yet been supplied and the milk is so much reduced that the enterprise can be made profitable. The opera house was jammed full last Tuesday night. at the second appearance of E. B. Kelly and his amateurs. The play was "Only a Country Girl." D. C. Stewart, Ed. Haines and C. M. Keep have incorporated I he Forest Groe bank at that town wit i a capital stock of $25,000 which is to be increased to $50,000 as soon as the stringency e.ises np a little. The sterling integrity of the incorporators insures the stability of the enterprise. COL. C. W. DEAN. SUNSTRUCK IN BATTLE ! DR. MILES MEDICAL, CO., ElKHART, Ind.
