EIGHTH GRADERS FAIL At the recent examination held in this county it is esti mated that two-thirds of those who took the examination failed. In the Yaqunla district, W. C. Fischer teacher, and in the Rock Cieek district, Ray Dick son teacher, all passed. In New port two-thirds failed; in Toledo all failed who took everything and only two passed who were exempt in a number of subjects. There were about 150 In the county who took the examina tion. Supt. Coin says be thinks it a mistake to allow the pupils to have their Histories and Civil Governments before them dur ing the examinations, as it con fuses them. o ADVENTIST SCHOOL CLOSES The third successful term of the S.

On going Inside the school room we found it decorated with wild flowers and ferns. A very appropriate program was ren dered, Miss Whitlaw having given some time to the training of the children and all did their part splendidly.

The day was stormy and a small vote was polled still it representes the sentiment of the town. Qualifications of Mr. Moores With pleasure we reprint the following from Wednesday's Oregonian and we believe like Mr. Hodkln that the HepubU can voters can do no better than to elect Mr. Moores to the office of RAorAtarv of fttntA Old Friend Declare Him Excellently Fitted For Secretary of State Vancouver, Wash., May, 9th. Prompted by an experience of 16 yeara of active clerical aorvlce In the state departments at Salem, permit me to refer to the peculiar fitness of Honorable Charles B. Moores for the office of Secretary of State, for which he is the Republican candidate. I have been intimately acquainted with him for 46 years and know whereof I speak. I congratulate the Republicans of Oregon on their choice of a candi date. The name "Moores" is a synonym of true-blue Republicanism. He comes from good old Pioneer stork. He is a self made man, whose public and pri vate life is without spot or blemlBh. He has had a varied experience In the upbuilding of Oregon and Is thor oughly familiar with its early history. His legislative career has brought him honor both as a clerical and presiding officer He wields the pen of ready writer and his contributions to the press teem with interest. His person al knowledge of Important events con- I flArtAll with thA rnmmArrlnl ariiirn. tlonal and political history of Oregon has added very materially to the ar chives of the state. He Is methodical In his work and thoroughly reliable in hit business dealings. As a graduate of the Wllllamntte University, his Inyallty to the institu tion and his third of a century service as a memember of Ita board of trus tees, have brought him In close touch with thousands of Its students now scattored throughout the Northwent Ills home life, his genial personality, his connclnntlous discharge of public duties, his loyalty to hlo friends and his unswerving adherence to Repub licanism as fathered and promulgated by Lincoln, Grant and McKlnley, have made his name and reputation a house hold word in Oregon. His Intricate knowledge of law will prove a valua ble asset to the office. His uniform courtesy Is probverblal and he Is what the world calls a "good mixer." His nomination and eloctlon to .the office of Secretary of State will rebound to the credit of the Republican party of your commonwealth ana Insure to Its citizens the services of a courteous, cdlclnnt and economical officer. The wotnnn of Oregon enpnclally owe him a debt of grntitiulo for services he hns rendered them In their struggle hns rendered them In their struggle for women suffrage. A legion of friends outside of your state will re joice In his election. Frank E. Hodgkn 0 Clarence Altree was a pas-1 scnger for Portland Tuesday morning. STATEMENT The assessor is an appraiser and lister of Dronertv. . ThA Statutes of Oreeon commnnd that all property be listed and appraised at its actual cash value for assessment mimosa mvi. , , iius mwmeanB wnai it says; tne assessor must take an oath that i,. ,m ,i. vi. UO Will UU tllla, U11U UpUll tile completion of each assessment loll, he must swear that he had to the best of his knnwlwl belief done so. It is Just idle talk for a man to say that he ;wouia ao something other than what the law commands. KhmiM h mnbn (t. this kind, he is either dishonest or ignorant. ThA. the great problems of organized society, and we, as a people snouia understand this better A few questions and answpra will explain why taxes are hlsrh itua wuo is responsiDle for It Q. Why are taxes levied and collected. A. To maintain and run our state and local govern ments. Q. How is the amount of money to be raised for the state, county, school, road, city and port determined, and by whom. A. State Tax First, the amount of, money for each depart ment,including the state . schools, charitable and penal institutions, salaries or omcers and help, sup plies, and appropriations made by the legislature, mis makes up the state tax, of which county pays its share, based not upon its assessed, but upon its actual, value compared with the actual value of , the state as determined by ., the slate. board of .equul iratiou. - - . County Tax fhe general county tax, this yoa in cluding all gjiior:il and special road tax i. is ni.ulo up th? name a? the state, for salaries of ofilcris and help county . supplies, court and Jury expenses. - county poor fund, widows' pentions; and the general county, common and high school funds are governed by the actual figures shown to be necessary upon Investigation by the various departments, and this Is finally determined and levied by the county . court. Special School Tax The taxpayers in the district levy this tax. City Tax This Is levied by the city council. Port Tax This is levied by the port commissioners. Q. Why are taxes higher some years than others. A. This depends entirely upon the amount of money de termined to be raised by the state, county and other local taxing corporations, upon , the assessment roll of that year. Q., Why are taxes higher In some localities than they are In others' In the same year. A. This Is altogether caused by special taxes for local pur poses only, for example: TAX ON $1,000 VALUE IN DIFFERENT LOCALITIES 1915 191G Toledo Newport (34.40 $32 00 32.60 32.C0 26.10 23.50 26.10 19.00 Waldport Bayview West Yaqunla Otter Rock 22.60 17.00 21.60 2.00 School District 30 (Crocker) 21.60 23.50 Yaqulna 20.90 22.50 OyBtervIlle 20.60 13.00 Agate Beach 20.60 18.00 Siletz 20.10 15.50 Salmon River School Dist. 48 19.60 21.C0 Buck Crock (Fisher) 19.60 27.00 Lutgens 19.10 16.50 Mill Four 18.90 20.80 Ocean View 18.00 17.10 Elk City 18.60 17.00 Upper Farm on Siletz River School District 69 17.80 15.50 Salmon River School District 49 17.10 19.00 School Dist. 66 17.10 17.50 ' Upper Farm on Siletz River School District 27 16.60 14.50 Seal Rock Resort 16.60 13.50 Eddyville . 16.60 15.50 Tidewater 16.10 22.50 Chitwood 16.10 15.00 South Beach 15.60 17.00 Naahville 15.10 18.00 Nortens 14.60 17.50 The extreme range of dif ference is between Toledo and Nortens, for tho year 1915, the latter showing all general levies, including road and school, and the former showing special i : . local .levies added thereto. - The general taxes for 1915 on a $1,000 v.iiie. less the , ' road tax, was $8.60, and for 1914, it was $8.50; and if in any locality more was', paid upon a $1,000 value, it was due entirely to road or other special taxes lev ied by the different local ities for purposes to be used by them.
