SUSTAIN THE A88E88MENT.
Labor Day wbb made a holiday in
the District of Columbia by an act of
congress in 1S04, during the second
term of Grover Cleveland. It was
not raado a national legal holiday, in
the strict sanse of the word, but Is
left to the states to adopt or roject It.
as such.
Tho people of Umatilla county will
now await the action of tho county
court in tho O. R. & N. tax reduction
case, with great interest, and deep
concern. Tho railroad attorneys fail
ed to get their complaint beforo tho
board of equalization, and by this
failure, placed It In the hands of tho
county court for adjustment.
While tho company may not dealro
to have Mr. Strain act ns one of tho
Judges In this matter, for tho reason
that ho Is tho author of tho high
valuations of the compnny ' property.
It Is not likely that the- decision of
the county court will bo different
from that of the board of equaliza
tion, had It passed upon tho question.
The Justice of tho assessment in
Umatilla county this year has become
so apparent to every taxpayer, that
but .three property holders in tho
county, Including the O. It. & N., ask
ed for a reduction of their assess
ments during the sessions of tho
board of equalization. This record
proves that there Is almost universal
satisfaction, throughout the county,
with the assessment.
The county court cannot fall to
take into consideration tho fact that
other property has been raised in
value, more than railroad property,
and yet the owners havo not ques
tioned tho justice of the assessment.
Tho Western Union and tho Pacific
States Telephone companies have ex
perienced n greater raise in values
over last year than the O. H. & N.,
and yet they are satisfied that the as
sessor Is not unjustly taxing them.
, This tost will set u precedent for
Umatilla county, and the county I
court cannot afford to undo tho work
that has been done, to the entire sat
isfaction of the people of the county.
The O. It. & K. will bo benefited In
the end by this assessment, for the
i reason that tho valuation established
this year will serve for years to come
and In future no costly litigation and
with deeper Interest than Iiob mark
ed, the transaction ot any public bus
iness In Umatilla county for years.
Tho court must Btand .pat. It Is tho
turning point In tho economic his
tory of the county. If tho precedent
Is set now, It will bo easy to follow It
In future. It It Is not fixed, it will
undo the work already accomplished
and make Its future accomplishment
more difficult and costly.
Judge C. C. Goodwin, formerly ed
itor of the Salt Lako Tribune, and
one of tho foremost republican poli
ticians "and writers of tho West, says
that the socialists will be In power
In the United States beforo two moro
presidents nro elected. Ho says that
tho labor forces are ready to follow
any party which will make tho basis
of Its platform the dethronement ot
the rich and tho enthronement of tho
masses. It only tequlrcs 61 per cent
of tho votes of tho republic to bring
about this result, and ho says that
Just such a revolution may be ac
complished by ballots, before two
moro presidents nre elected on old
lines.

A Good Beginning
If the blood 'is in good condition at the beginning of the warm season,
yon are prepared to resist disease and are not apt to be troubled with boils,
pimples, blackheads and blotches, or the itching and burning skin eruptions,
that make one's life a veritable torment and misery.
Now is the time to begin the work of cleansing and building up the
blood and strengthening the weak
places in your constitution. During the
cold winter months we are compelled
to live indoors and breathe the impure
air of badly ventilated rooms and of
fices. We over-work and over-eat, and
get too little out-door exercise, and our
systems become clogged with impuri
ties and the blood a hot-bed of germs
and humors of every kind, oud warm
weather is sure to bring a reaction,
and the poisonous matter in the blood
and system will break out in boils and
pustules or scaly eruptions nnd red,
disfiguring bumps nnd pimples. Make
a good beginning this season by taking
a course of S. S. S. iu time; it will not
only purify your blood and destroy the
germs mulpoisons, but promote healthy
action of the Liver and Kidneys nnd
give you a good appetite at a time
when you need it most.
S. S. S. improves the digestion nnd
tones up the Stomach, and you arc not

indigestion every time you eat, or
