THE NEW LEVY.
The advance of $3,000,000 in the
valuations imposed by Assessor Cor
nelius on the tax roll for 1908, offers
an excellent predicate for the lower
ing of the levies this year, and bring
ing them down from the reactionary
millage that has operated against this
city for many years. It has been one
of the standing adverse elements of
investigation here, in our dealings
with investors from abroad, who have
stalled at the quotations . we were
compelled to make, - and now that
the opportunity is at hand for reduc
ing these figures to normal and ac
countable estimates we should use it
instantly and thoroughly. It is far
easier to talk 20 millage than SO and
upward, and the sooner we get to
that basis the better, for every man
in the city and county, and for the
man who wants to come.
With these levies brought down to
a point where we are not ashamed to
to name them to the stranger, and
the better tone given to the realty
values of the territory, we will have
almost immediate results. And the
fact that the Assessor's work has
been done largely in thi9 behalf war
rants the hope that the County Court
will make use of the advantage and
spare us the burden that has been
borne here far too long. Public sen
timent . endorses the principle upon
which Mr. Cornelius has worked this
year; and public sentiment will
promptly condemn the folly of ignor
ing it. .

. WHOLESALING.
There is a virgin and profitable
field for wholesaling in this city.
There is admitted on all sides here
in circles where wholesaling would
not interfere with certain current re
tail schedules that are becoming un
bearably irksome. It is a turn in the
commercial economics of Astoria that
is . simply inevitable, and the sooner
it is induced and introduced, the bet
ter for the whole section. The Cham
ber of Commerce should "hew to this
line" and never relinquish its ardor
nor bearing until a wholesale grocery
is founded here under conditions
that ensures its perpetual success.
The mere suggestion of the benefice
evokes a sigh of relief from one end
of the city to the other.
FARMERS FOR TAFT.
"The farmers are rich never more
so and they ascribe their riches to
McKinley, Roosevelt and the policies
of the Republican party."
Thus writes a correspondent Irom
the Middle West, and his words
doubtless cover the situation through
out all the West. The farmers know
that their present flourishing condi
tion is due to the Republican policfes
of bulding up American, industry, of
developing and improving every
branch of agriculture and of adding
to the farmers', opportunities for self-
culture and for keeping in touch with
current events and the markets of
the world by the rural free delivery
system. , , .
The farmer knows that what Re
publican administrations have done
for the farmer cost money, and he
sees that expenditure denounced in
the Bryan platform as "unnecessary
and wasteful." Naturally, the farmer
prefers the Republican party, whose
policies made him comfortable and
independent, and proposes to vote for
William H. Taft, the Republican can
didate for President of the United
States, who, with the co-operation of
a Republican Congress, wilt continue
those policies, and will seek to make
the condition of the American farm
er even better that it is now.
That is one reason why the West
is for Taft and Sherman. , .
Saved His Boy's Life
"My three year old boy was badly
constipated, had a high fever and
jwas in an awful condition. I gave
him two dozens of Foley's Orino
Laxative and the next morning the
fever was gone and he was entirely
well. Foley's Orinb Laxative saved
his life." A. Wolkush, Casimer, Wis.

"Our whole family has enjoyed
good health since we began using
Dr. King's New Life Pills, three
years ago " says L. A. Bartlet, of

gentle way that does you good. 25c"

Where Bullets Flew
David Parker of Fayette, N. Y., a
veteran of the civil war, who lost a
foot at Gettysburg, says: "The good
Electric Bitters have doe , is worth
more than five hundred dollars to me.
I spent much money doctoring for a
bad case of stomach trouble, to little
purpose. I then tried Electric Bit
ters, and they cured me. I now take
them as a tonic, and they keep me
strong and well. 50c at Charles Rog

X POLICE AMENDMENTS.
It may not be generally known
that there is some very earnest work
afoot in this city by way of amend
ing the police law of Astoria and sub
mitting it to popular consideration at
the coming municipal election, but it
il a fact, and some of the ablest
minds in the legal field are slowly
but surely developing a new regimen,
whereby the policing will be taken
out of the hands that now sway it,
and put where it will be administered
squarely, directly and surely, for the
sole benefit of the people at ..large,
and give the officers themselves a
chance to do their work thoroughly
and in accord with the real efficacy
and purpose of 6uch a department.
It is an open secret that this de
partment has been hampered and
eontrolled by indirection and biased
inspiration; and interested people are
at last aroused to the evil and loss
and disrepute that have grown out of
it. Time will disclose the new effort
and its value, and the people will do
well to give it their earnest and can-
