DEMOCRATIC JUQQELRY The Review "Wovld Deceive tbe Voters. The Roseburg Review for the past bix weeks or two months has been -publishing a series of articles perporting to give statistics of the current expenses of the county under the present administration. In fact they are making their whole campaign along this line. If the figures given by the Review were cor rect the Plaindealee would have nothing to say in the matter, but it seems to be democratic policy both national, state and county to make an effort to deceive the voters. That they often succeed in a fair measure we will admit, but the thinking voters who have witnessed the application of democratic policy in the past to the affairs of the nation, the Btate and the county, for the result has always proved equally as disastrous in each, can hardly be deceived. Now in referring to the Review's last effort which came out in the daily of May 23d entitled "The Pub lic Business," we desire to say that the party who prepared the said arti cle either did not understand the county records or wilfully juggled the figures in order to create political prestige. He says: In Djuglas county the present year' .tax levy fur county and tate purposes, exclusive of special road, school and city taxes, aggregates S149.830.25. The county debt ou March 31, 1904, was 1103,613.31. For the year 1900 the total county and state tax was $89,269 18, and on March SI, 19J0, the county debt waa but $85,757.01. This shows be yond question that in the past four years tiie county debt has increased $17,756.30, and this in face of the fact that the present year's tax levy is $80 561.07 Krger than thit of the year 1900. Thus, within that period, the increase of the public burden aggregates $78, 317.37. That sum, if properly applied to the payment of tbe public debt, and the consequent eaving of the accumu lating interest charges thereon, would have nearly (if not entirely) wiped out the woole of tbe county debt existing four years ago. Instead of that, the county debt is uow $103,573.31, and the annual interest charges thereon have grown proportionately. This is the con dition that actually exists after the peo ple have paid the $90,561 07 addition .1 taxes the present year. In other words, the financial public burden upon thp people of Douglas county is now more than 87 per cent greater than it was four years ago " Now the facta in the case are as follows: In the year 1898, under the democratic populist administration the levy for county purposes was 13.3 mills which raised for county expendi ture $63,908.98. For the year 1899 the levy was 11.55 mills which raised for county expenditure $43,866.41, or an average for the two years just mentioned of $53,887.65. During the present administration the levy for 1900 was 8.85 mills which raised $37,44443 for county expenditure, i he levy for 1901 was 9.09 mills which raised $38,499.14 for county expenditure. The levy for 1902 was 9.15 mills which raised $47,499.29 or county expenditure. The levy or 1903 was 10 mills which raised $55,618.47 for county expenditure. The last above figures give an aver age for one year for county expendi ture of $45,265.83. Thus it will be seen by a comparison of the actual figures as they appear -ot record that the difference per year of the county expenditure between the democratic- populist administration and the pres ent republican administration is $8,- 622.32 in favor of the present ad ministration. Every intelligent voter is aware of the fact that the County Court has jurisdiction only over the amount of the income from taxation as is raised from the above levies for county pur poses. The heavy state appropria tions, the special levies by school dis tricts and the extra 3 mills which now goes to the general road fund from the county levy and which did not exist under the democratic ad ministration, are fixed by the state legislature and are matters over which the County Court has no con trol The, Review says in its latest effort: " bet tax burden in this county is now over 15000 per month more than it was lour years ago, nd it is rapidly increas This statement may easily be re futed by calling at the office of the County Clerk and examining the coun ty record, which shows very plainly that the expenditure under the last democratic - populist administration viz: from September SO, 1899 to March 31, 1900 was $24'273.03. Dur ing the same length of time under the republican administration from Sept 30, 1903 to March 31, 1904; the expenditure was $25,S34.94 showing an average expenditure per month under the republican incum bency of $26S.48 per month more under the republican than under the djtftocratic administration, which shows a democratic political 1 prevarication of $4,731.52 per month Now the fact ia that the $5000, above mentioned, which, added to the monthly expenditure of the democratic-populist people would make a sum more than double the amount that has ever been expended monthly in Douglas county since the begin ning of its history, and yet they con fidently expect the voters to believe this. Now, in justice to those concerned we desire to take this subject up and show the voters of this county where the present administration is fully justified in this additional ex penditure per month of the county funds: First, under the democratic administration there was expended per. year for roads and bridges $3,- 366.66. While under the republican administration for roads and bridges there has been an annual average ex penditure of $16,604.00, or nearly double the expenditure for roads and bridges per year of that of the demo cratic administration. The facts in the case are that during the last democratic-populist incumbency, the roads and bridges were grossly neglected, and the situation became so deplorable that their astute judge saw fit to resign in the middle of his term rather than face the situation, and it was in this condition that the present administration took the matter in hand, and, at the present time, notwithstanding the heavy odds againBt them, many new covered bridges, an elegant new bridge across both the North and South Umpqua rivers, as well as extensive repairs upon the Winston, Winchester and Umpqua Ferry bridges, at an expense of not less than $2,000 each, more than a score of good substantial bridges of the smaller class as well as much better roads are in evidence throughout the entire county, where they stand conspicuously as a self- evident object lesson to the voters of the county and are monuments in themselvesjof proofs that all the demo cratic-argument in Christendom can not change. Now a few questions: Suppose the democrats should be victorious in June, and, in the regular order of things the Secretary of State should levy upon the county, as he did last year, $42,548.12, would the demo cratic administration respond by sending $23,128.83 as they did in 1899? Suppose the county levy for school purposes, which is required by law, should require, as last year, $34, 205.35, would the democratic admin istration economise by responding $20,000, as in 1899? Would the democrats were they successful, drop the matter of road and bridge build ing in order to make good their prom ises of economy to the people, or could they in some way utilize these prom ises in payment for the construction of said roads and bridges. As the coun ty develops, as more roads are open and consequently more streams re quire bridging, and in other instances consistent with the growth of the county the expense of conducting the county affairs naturally increases, and, barring the extra heavy state appro priations and the extra special school taxes, etc., the whole levy for the past year would not have exceeded! 21 mills which i3 a splendid showing for the present incumbents. THE COUNTY DEBT. According to the county records on October 1, 1898, the county debt is shown to be $104;890.84. On April , 1904 the county debt is shown to be $103,513.31. This is according to the official semi-annual reports ot J, F. Gailey in the former and D. R. Shambrook in the latter instance as County Clerks, Which shows that it is the intention by the juggelry of the figures by the Review people to mis- ead the voters. Regarding the whole situation we desire to state that wo have gotten it up in tabulated form, and publish it in our next issue and its aut henti city may readily be established b comparison with the official record:- of the county. The Review has been making a vaii. effort to impress the voters of tht county with the waste and extrav agance of handling the county fund:? under the present administration, but they do not go on to explain tha nearly all the bridges of the county were in a state of extreme dilapida tion at the time when their panii stricken judge resigned in the middle of his term, and the present admini?. tration took the matter in hand, that several of said bridges actualh dropped into the streams, including the bridge at Millwood, which cost the county approximately $2500 for damages to Frank Gorrell, and for which one of the present democratic nominees, highest in authority, tried to cinch the county for $11,266. "Oh I Consistency, thou art a jewell." We desire to Impress the Republi can voters of Douglas county with the fact that each and every elector who has not registered may and should avail himself of the opportuni ty provided by law, namely, that of having six freeholders certify that he The Farmer's Friend Fullerton Richardson Have a Fresh StocR of WaRalee's Squirrel and Gopher Extermination (POISON WHEAT) A few Cents Invested in a reliable Squirrel Poison means a good many more bushels of Grain at harvest. You find Dead Squirrels if you use Wakalee's Fullerton - Phone 451 is qualified to vote. If the Republi cans of the state are in earnest in their desire to have the first gun fired off this Presidential year heard all over the United States, thereby giv ing encouragement to our Republican brethern for the November contest, they will go to the polls and vote whether registered or not. A Word With Oregon Dem crats. When President Roosevelt inter fered with the anthracite coal mag nates of Pennsylvania, on behalf of their labor, he served notice on them that he was his own man, who was not afraid to do justice and love mercy In spite of all they could do to harm him. When President Roosevelt notified the labor unions that Foreman Miller, of the bindery in the government printing oflice, should receive his steadfast protection, regardless of any movement that organized labor might initiate against him, he showed the country that hj was his own man, determined to enforce the law with out fear or favor. When President Roosevelt ordered his attorney general to proceed against the Northern Securities mer ger, he served notice on the great railway corporations that he was his own man, and that neither their threats nor their entreaties should swerve him from doing his duty as he saw it. When President Roosevelt was im portuned to use his influence in favor of the Lewis and Clark Fair, he did not hesitate or content himself with professions of help without meaning. He did not stop at words, he acted. He called men like Cannon, Payne, Dalzall and Tawney, who were firmly opposed to the appropriation, and in sisted upon its friendly consideration. Against every adverse appeal he stood firm, in every crisis of need he went unhesitatingly and forcefully to the front, If the democrats of Oregon are the men we think thev are. few amonp- - o them will find it in their hearts to set the seal of their disapproval nnon the a man who has so often showed his terling mettle, who has done so much for us. Born and reared in New York, he is, nevertheless, the drst Western President wb ever had. ie is of the Western manner, dlreot, roroaful, steadfast. He has stood bv the people, will the people stand by him? He has stood by Oregon, will Oregon in June be found giving aid and comfort to his enemies? Oregon- lan. Significance of Jjns. "You don't have to voto the Ropub ican ticket now in order to vote for Roosevelt in November. Be liberal, md vote for opposition candidates foi Congress, for tho Legislature and for local officers. Then, in November. you can vote for Roosevelt if yoi want to." Undoubtedly, but the vote that wil tell for Roosevelt in November is the vote that will be cast in June. A clear and decisive Republican victory in June will produce an immense moral effect all over the United States. It doesn't matter whether the majority for Roosevelt in Oregon be 5000 or 25,000 in November. But it does whether the Republic n majority shall be the larger or small er figure in June. And they know it who are urging that I here is no reason why Republi cans should stand solidly together now. It is the subtle purpose of these pleaders to break, if they can, tho moral effect of the Republican victory in June. If the Republican majority could be pulled down or candidates beaten, these persons would be quick and loud in their dec laration that it boded ill to Republi can expectations for November. For, if this far Western state, it will bt said, doesn't stand by Theodore Roose velt, or shows a falling off, what are Richardson Roseburg', Ore you to expect of him elsewhere? They do not want Roosevelt elect ed. They do not want the Republi cans to have control of the next Congress, who gl jze in this matter and tune proem and argument to sup port of these fetches, juggles and dodge3. They know they can do more hurt by defeating Republican candi dates and by reducing Republican majorities in June than in any other way. And that is their object in tell ing you that "you don't have to vote the ticket now in order to give the electoral vote of the state to Roose velt in November." Every voter of Oregon, who desires the election of Theodore RooBevelt, should see the significance of the vote in June. The popular vote of Oregon in November will have no significance at all. Oregonian. The Lsmentatlon of Jeremiah! The Roseburg Review has this lam en tat ion: The tax burden in this county is 5000 a month more than it was four years ago, and is rapidly increasing." Douglas is a mighty big county, and its business, population and wealth are growing at a rapid rate. Why should its expenditure be held down to that of four years ago, and why was not that of four years ago held down to that of twenty years ago? It is so easy to be ab surd! Oregonian. Many of tho readers of the Plain dealer will go to St. Louis this sum mer to see the great World's Fair, and as they will want a good hotel with first-clas3 accommodations and near to the Fair grounds we advise them to go to the Christian Endeavor Hotel. This enterprise has been es tablished by the leading Christian En deavor men of the United States and is for the welfare especially of those who want to go to a place run on lines of protection to the visitors at the fair and secure the advantages of a good home at moderate cost. Write to the Secretary for full information. Mr. Geo. W. Staley, who will with out doubt succeed himself as County Assessor, has given almost unniversal satisfaction during the time of his in cumbency. Mr. Staley is keeping the assessment rolls by the latest and most Improved method, the block system, and has a system of checking which U effectual in cutting out doubles and In getting all tho land. Last year our present Incumbent made a raise on the Southern Pacific roadbed of $800 per mile, the largest raise of the kind that has ever been made in the county and j the 'other corporations pay more nearly with the individual now than ever before. There was no raise whatever in the assessment of the individual for last ear and any advance in taxes to the Utter is due to the state and other levies over which the assessor had ibsolutely no control. From the fact that at the meeting of the last board it equalization practically no griev ances were filed is pretty good evl- lence of the capability and Justice of jur present assessor. Additional details of the fight at Wang Chla Tun, near Takushan, May 20, indicate that the squadron of Cossacks was almost annihilated by the Japanese infantry, which snr ounded and completely routed the :nemy. All the Russian officers were tilled, wounded or captured. Natives report that Borne of the Cossacks es caped on foot, abandoning their equipment Geo. W. Dimmick, our trust-worthy ind accurate hayseed candidate wears vith the people like an old shoe, and the longer they have him as their public servant the more pleased- they seem to get him back again. They realize that experience and absolute trust worthiness is what makes a man valuable for the office of county treasnrer. It will be a downright ahame if Dregon fails to elect Judge Moore, inr nominee for Supreme Judge, by a considerably larger vote than Judge Bean's, two years ago, and it will be 3 shama if any of our county nomi nees are defeated in consequence of Republicans not voting. Cast your ballot for C. E. Hasard for county clerk. Mr. Hasard has long been in business in Drain and there they know him to be a good business man, strictly honest and ac curate. Don't forget Charley E. Roberts when you prepare your ballot on June 6th. In response to numerou inquiries ti o why tbe 1903 assessment should be higher than of 1902, we desire to Ute that the ttintment wu not raised. The xceas of millage being in the state and county levy on account of the heavy state appropriation, and the raise of the per capita on the school apportion menu. Then, on the other hand throughout the county various districts have voted special rotd and school taxes which all go to swell the total of taxa ion, while the poor assessor vainly en deavors to keep down valuations and ex plain away the cause of the raise, and in defense of the Republican party it might be well to mention that tbe heavy ap propriations were not due wholly to the Republic n party, as, for instance, the measure appropriating $500,000 for the maintenance of a Lewis and Clark fair at Portland to take place in 1905, was supported by all the Democrats except one, and all the Republ. cans except two. and these two who voted agiinst the measure were Mr. Brownell and our own Senator, Marsters Barring tho extra heavy appropriations and extra special road and school taxes the millage of Douglas countv would have been but 21 mills for 1903, where it was 27 mills but the Douglas county people may con sole themselves in the fact that all the counties snrrivin limr n are higher as an nVLTrtjf by n cnni .erh!u than we riio lare tuto appropriation of 1903, were, however, made at a very prosper ons time, and will in most part, be ex pended for the necessary development f our state, for the education of oar children and the support ot our Indian War Veterans.
