MTAtM ASD COVSTT TAX lEVT.
So many base insinuations have been h,
thrown out by an alleged "Taxpayer,
who ia an acknowledged ofiBceseeker, in
the "alleged newspaper up street con-1

' Ths PfXTlBW places before its readers
this week a plain state-sent in figures I
to show the cause of the state levy and
: to expose the "organized hypociisy" of
the clique that is seeking, by hair-split
ting subterfuges and downright falsify
ins. to throw odium udob an honest
administration of public affairs.
The state tax lew made for 1885
mnder the republican
administration I
was 4 mills, notwithstanding the fact
that there was a surplus in the treas
ury of $268,212.45. The tax raised
amounted to f 315,104.04 which gave
for the entire expenses of the state
for tkeyear the grand total of $583,

its large proportions ia order to meet
the appropriations of the legislature.
The state tax levy for 1886,
under the Moody administration,
still
was
3.1 mills, bringing into the treasury
the sum of $239,284.81 which with
ceipts from various sources would
ieet the estimated state expenses of
78,006.38. The round sum of $lfi,-
00 of this amount was squandered in

Here is a grand total of $176,109.42
especially appropriated by the rejpob.
Iican legfsrStCTe, or more than 120,000
mere than the total tax taised for the
-Rntira exnensea of the frovenunent as
estimated by the republican board.
These appropriations of course, were
in addition to the regular . appropiia-
tions for the general expenses. I
may have been the part of folly to
make these appropriations as claimed
by "Office-seeker" but it is only the
part of common honesty to pay tbem,
.which ia all the democratic board has
33artainto do, ind-to do which it
was necessary to increase the state tax
levy to 4.9 mills. - Whatever odium
therefore attaches to any v one " in the
mattet must be placed upon the shoul
dors of the republican legislature.
' The Review in all candor, overlook
ing the sharp practice of theaV re
publican board in reducing the levy to
an extent totally inconsistent with the
wants of the state, seeks to attach no
blame to any one. It, howeverr feels
justified ia asking if it is not hypoc
ajsy in apofitiel--paErty-to seek to
throw the rwponsibility of its own acts
upon its opponents. ' No one man was
more resporisihle ifor the appropriations
made by the hftt Legislature thanMr,
Benjamin, for he was chairman of the

exercises general supervision over

legislature will have been provided for
in the taxes raised this year, ana mere
evei7 reason to believe that thenext
8tate levy will not be over 2 or 2 J
mii u fortunately for the taxpayers
the legislature meets but once in two
year unless it ia necessasy to call an
extra session to elect a republican
genator.
The administration of Gov. Pennoy-
er is thoroughly honest, able and ef
ficient and such is the universal verdict
of the people, regardless of party affilli-
atioas. For thirty years in Oregon his
name has been a synonym of honor and
true manly worth, and the democracy
md the people can congratulate them
selves upon having him in charge of the
affairs of the state.
Concerning the county tax levy, the
Plaindealer editorially says in an arti
cle relating to Jackson and Douglas
counties:

Jud and one Commissioner xorming
it is now paying interest upon $20,000
with a tax levy as high as was ever
laid by any Court under republican
control. So here we have an example
of two democratic counties in nnanciai
trouble with irate taxpayers howling
on their track.
The above is full of misrepresenta
tions and was written witnout any
regard to the records, which are open
to public inspection. In the first place

will thus be seen at a glance that the

carried forward during the past few
years since Judge Fitzhugh's administra
tion amounting in the aggregate to
$50,000, besides the usual necessary
expenses of the county have been met
by the taxes as above. A large pro
portion of these improvements
notably $6,000 for the poor
farm and $22,000 for bridges have
been provided for by the democratic
administration of affairs during the
past four years, and one of the most
expensive murder trials in the annals
of the state the Eddings trial cost
ing in the neighborhood of $6000 had
to be borne by the county since J udge
Fitzhugh came into office. Then the
remarkable era of the Purdom adminis
tration of the sheriff's office from 1882
to 1884, when despite the protest of
the county judge, the sheriff was allowed
mileage at ten cents for the round trip
for serving papers by telegraph, and
the destruction of the tax receipts
stubs by Mr. Purdom will show what
has become of the people's taxes. But
then republican sheriffs like senators
come high, and are a luxury that the
people can afford to dispense with.
As far as "irate taxpayers being on
their track" is concerned, we know of
but one self-styled "Taxpayer1 who is
crying himself hoarse in a vain attempt
to sow discord among the people, with
the hope of benefiting his own personal
ends thereby. Is it not a lovely specta
ole the "Plaindealer advertising an ex
tensive feal estate business, and then
seeking to keep away immigration by
false charges of indebtedness and ex-
trtvagance.
The Review has thus, without any
desire to conceal, to evade or to mis
represent the facts, given these
lengthy quotations from the record in
order to sat the matter entirely correct
before the people. Facts, plain, brist
ling facts are the basis of this art;cle,
and we have "hewn to the line, let the
obips fall where they may." Of all
tlingv we despise a "narrow, contract
ed view of any subject, or a half truth
like the Vhindeakr's $20,000 indebt
echvns item, suppressing the taxes due
as an offset, and have given our readers
a broad, comprehensive and stiictly re
liable statement based entirely upon
the record. We have not sought to
bandy epithets nor to deal in glittering
geueralites, but have sustained our
every position from the public records
which are open to inspection by all,
and close this prolungtrd aitichv with
tbe toast, agreeable to all citizens of
the count v, "Douglas county is pi ac tic
all y out of debt, rich, prosperous and
contented enjoying the great blessing of
a democratic administration." .

political buncombe, some men, like
"taxpayers" Nob. 1. 2 and 3, would
sacrifice their grandfather's dearest
heirloom for their own selfish aggran
dizement. The truth is, if one hun
dred thousand dollars were to be in
vested in Douglas in the next ten
days, not a dollar would they have to
pay of this $22,000 indebtedness.
The last tax levy was made to cover
this, and it will do it, and is in the
hands of the sheriff for collection at
this moment. We reaffirm our former
statement, that "Douglas county is in
a prosperous condition, and practically
out of debt," and defy Tax-payer" to
prove the contrary by the records.
SLA1XJS DECLI1TBS.
Mr. Blaine declines the nomination
for President in a letter to Mr. Jones,
Chairman of the National Republican
committee.
The letter is well written
and shows much study, but betrays one

hard to make the American people be
ii8ve that he loves them. Why this
greftt effort of an American like Mr
j Blaine to feel the necessity to make a
I 0U(j profession that he loves the Amer-
can people, especially the Republican!
His "Jchnny Bull" antagonism and
Parnell favoritism it may be he feels has
had somewhatof anaUenadngeffectupon
the American mind, and his conclusion
is a wise one. Read his letter, we
commend it to our Republican friends
as a production having a deep signifi-
cance.
We assure the citizens of Douglas
county that no damage shall be done
them by the unblushing technical pre
varications of the Plaindealer and its
justifiable attacks upon the financial
condition of the county
of which all
real tax payers feel proud. Many
leading citizens have congratulated us
this week for showing up these false
issues sought to be made by two or
three political office Beekers. '
Tbe Oregonian champions General
Phil. Sheridan for president. Well
now we ought to have a rest. Mr.
Sheridan is a good fighter we know by
a sad experience, but he is not the man
to administer this government in times
of peace. He quite likely would have
a war with some foreign power in six
months, to gratify his impetuous desire
to be first m war.
It would be a wise action on the
part of the state Democratic conven
tion which meets at Pendleton On April
3d, to instruct the delegates to the
national convention to vote for Presi
dent Cleveland's re-nomination. Ore
gon has few opportunities to take a
leading position in national politics
and the priority of our convention
should be made the most of.
It is said that whole counties in
Kansas will pass under the hammer
during the coming spring. They are
mortgaged to an unprecedented extent
to Eastern loan companies, and the
mortgages are now maturing. This is
the direct result of republicanism, high
tariff and grass hoppers. Tidetle.
If the county "nibbler" who has
been nibbling at the county nubbins,
has had any of his political prospects
spoiled by tbe late discussions in The
Review and rlaindealer. be must
blame himself and no one 'else for go
ing to war before counting the cost.
Millions of acres of public land
given to railroads by R-publicsn ad
ministrations have been declared for
feited by the Cleveland administration
and restored to the heritage.

Just whv the Pot tlfind News should

schools, and irate parents defying au
thority when their vicious children dis
obey the laws, and newspapers with a
very low estimate of that grand Amer
ican doctrine "the Greatest liberty is
strict obedience to law." It is not aim
nlv a personal matter as to whether it
is Rigler or any one else, it is the pre
cedent that will be established. As to
the facts the evidence is conclusive in
favor of Rig'er, hence no fears are en
tertained concerning the government
of public schools in Oregon.
Later. Since the abovo was written
the mrv in Portland has found that
Prof. Rigler is innocent of the charge.
And we are constrained to say futher,
that a compliment from the New$ is
tantamount to a suspicion, and a criti
cism from it is really a recommenda
tion.
The Democrats of Douglas county
will put up their very best men : for
the Legislative ticket as well as , for
the county officers. ; This done, and a
good fair canvass, no grave doubts
need be entertained for the success of
the Douglas county democracy. The
republicans have good men and no
. ' , , ., ... ,. ... , ,
doubt they will bnng their best to the
front, and hence a lively time may be
looked for. All candidates of all
parties by all the newspapers in the
county we believe, will be fairly
treated, while the "longest polo will
knock the persimmon." The State tick
et will elicit comparatively but little
interest as only one Supreme Judge
and a Congressman are to claim the
suffrages of the people.
Wk notice among some of our Re
publican friends a disposition to insist
that J. O. Le&imre of Eastern Oregon
succeed Hon. B. Hermann as Oregon's
Congressman. We have only lo say,
there can be no comparison, between
the two men, - only a contrast. Mr.
Hermann s ability is positive and
known, while Mr. Leasure's is unknown
and unlikely. However, the Dem
ocrats will settle that dispute between
any aspiring candidates of the opposite
party. The name of W. R. Bilyeu, or
the names of a number of others will
be sufficient to paralyze the prospects
of any Republican Bro. that may de
sire to succeed Mr. Hermann.

The Oregon Sentinel, ia a last ditch
article headed Hocas Poena m the
Senate," indulges in the most errati c
statements concerning the confirmation
of Lamar. There are Iota of good
Democrats in Jackson, and it is but just
to them that these misstatements be
denied, Read the Sentinel: ;.
Without one word of attempted jus
tification, except on the part of Riddle
berges, tbey all voted to confirm, as k
matter of coarse. ? T i
It is thirty years, at least, since La
mar has paid any attention to the
study of law. , ' I ;
Now, the Sentinel is either groping
in the densest ignorance concerning the
facts, or is wilfully 'misrepiesen ting
the case, , The World respectfully
calls its attention to the : magnificent
letter by Senator Stewart, of Nevada,
to his constituency announcing his in
tention to vote for confirmation. And
then, again, the SentineFa cataract is
directed to the position of university
law prof esaor which Mr. Lamar resigned
to take his seat in -congress, many
years later, than thirty years ago.

The Sentinel had better take advice
from the more, reasonable Statetman.
If there were more such journals as the
Statesman there would be more Re

The State and county ftdmsnistra
tions have shown such a contrast of
economy to the former extravagant ad
ministrations, that the people have no
doubt concluded to continue upon this
line of self preservation. ! Douglas
county having accounted for every dol
lar of her money spent and moreover
the wisdom with which it has been ex
pended, commends itself to every tax
payer as the most sensible thing to do
is, to let well enough alone. The
readers of Thk Review no doubt have
observed from time to time we gave
the various county - exhibits that all
may -see and figure for themselves.
The improvements in the county will
greatly enhance the value of real and
personal property. :
TRJS SITUATION.
The situation is about like this, Mr.
Cleveland's admisistration will be e;
dorsed by tbe New York Democracy,
the Democrats throughout i the union
realize that Cleveland should be en
dorsed, this is then equivalent to his re-
nomination, ; therefore we believe be
yond a doubt that he will be re-elected as
he ought to be. A cleaner I more just
and economical administration has not
been enjoyed by the American people
for forty years. That Gov. Hill of
New York could be elected President
if nominated is equally certain, but at
this time Cleveland Js far ahead.
ja&i.
We look forward with relief to the
time when the New York people will
find out that the West is not in Dakota
nor Iowa, nor Nebraska. ' but in the
west. Statesman. !
Your mistake lies in the fact that
Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska etc, constitute
a part of that tier of States that con
stitute the ."west proper. : All states
and territories lying west of the Rockies
are the Pacific states, and are a long
way west of the "west if you please.

We hear the names of Hons. W. R.
Bilyeu, of Linn county, T. C. Hyde,
of Baker, John M. Gearin, of Mult
nomah and I. W. Hamilton, of Doug
las, mentioned in connection with the
Democratic nomination for congress.
Mr. Bilyeu is especially popular through
out the Willamette valley as the cham
pion of the farmer's interest, and we
presume that Mr. Hyde has a good
following in eastern Oregon. Our fel
low townsman, Mr. Hamilton the most
popular and available Democrat in
Southern Oregon, is a young man of
sterling worth and capable of leader
ship and will be called upon in the
near future to take his place among
the leaders of the state. Mr. Gearin
in point of location, with his great pop
ularity in the Republican stronghold
would prove an invincible candidate,
would make an able canvass and place
Oregon in the Democratic column.
Hon. W. M. Ramsey of Salem, is the
only gentleman we hear mentioned for
Supreme Judgj. He would be a peer
less candidate.
SIMON PtRB.
These has been issued a call for a
meeting of Simon pore Republicans at
Portland, Feb. 23, 1888. Jos. Simon
chairman.
We mean J os. . Simon. He is the
man that is enraging the sea, and has
all the elements necessary to sicken
the whale, Pacific Express.
That's right, Mr. Express, Go for
the ring, and if you don't down them,
the Democrats will at the June elec
tion Bossism ia of the past, and the
star-eyed goddess is registered at our
hotel. Portland World.
A call for a meeting in Philadel
phia to approve the President's mes
sage was signed by business men rep
resenting all interests and political par
ties and factions. Merchants and man
ufacturers, professional and railroad
men, the representatives of immense
sums of money invested in almost
every conceivable industrial enterprise,
by signing the call, announce their be
lief that the time has come to insist
that federal taxation be reduced, and
the meeting itself was remarkable both
for size and character. Pennsylvania, as
the great manusacturing town, stands
as the foremost part of the State.
Dem. Times.
Just how small a manor company
of men must get, in order to attract
attention to an article by using the
profession of an editor in great head
lines, is more than one can telL The
Oregon Sentry did this hist Monday.
It wrote the head line first, and then
beslabbered a false article to fit the
head line. James G. Blaine did say
all that we said he did. You need
another pair of "specks" to make you
look scholarly and to excite more sym
pathy Brot Parry. .
What yell went up from the pro
tection camp last year when the Mor
rison and Carlisle elections came off!
Now there is a heavenly pensive still
ness, on the deep quite order, over the
rebuke given Mr. Randall last week
in the organization of the Pennsylva
nia state committee. Portland World.
WKcall upon the wage workers of
the city and state to post themselves on
the subject of the tariff. All that men
in their ranks need is statistics on this
subject of protection, for after a knowl
edge of the facts governing the case, is
acquired the conclusion is irresisti bly
in favor of Cleveland's policy.

A max writing under a fictitious !
name and attacking a mm in private i
life or one holding a public office, is
like the assassin that lies in wait for his
victim and then fires upon him una
wares, and the public does not approve of
doing business that way. Mr. Benjamin
does not seem to apprehend what we
mean by criticising such an unfair way
of writing as he allows in his paper. Cer
tainly Mr. B. we did make a "personal
reference" about you and others, but
you knew where to find the responsi
ble person making the reference. We
have no objection whatever to fair jour
nalism, but this stabbing in the dark,
is not a "reputable" proceeding. We
are however much obliged, for it has
given us an opportunity to prove to
the citizens of Douglas county that
there was a Republican clique, an "or
ganized hypocrasy" in Roseburg, that
will be repudiated by every honest
Republican, when their photographs
are taKen. ineir negatives appear
this-week.
The administration of President
Cleveland commands the respect and
and support of the people for its ster
ling honesty and devotion to the inter
ests of the people, Mr Cleveland is a
tower of strength even upon the Pa
cific coast where the plumed knight
was invincible four years ago, and if
the two candidates are again before
the people, it will be found that the
three Pacific coast states will most
probably change the verdict given by
them in 1884.
There are a great many duties that
cannot wait Unless you do them the
moment tney present themselves, it is
not worth your while to do them at all,
A man's character is like a fence:
You cannot strengthen it by whitewash.
