U ITE frequently in business life it happens that through tnisrep resentation or deceit a person is led into doing something that he would not do if he had known the truth. (juite often it has happened that a person has bought a piece o f property or something else o f value because of such misrepresentation or deceit. Sometimes the victim only goes so far aa to promise to do certain things and learns of the misrepresentation be fore the transaction ia completed. In the latter case he naturally refuses to carry the transaction through regard leas o f his promise to do so. He does not feel it dishonorable or dishonest to refuse to carry out in business life a promise secured through misrepresenta tion. Neither does the world hold any disrespect for the man who repudiates a promise secured in that manner. It would likely consider him a fool i f he did not refuse to carry through such an unfair bargain regardless of the coax ing, urging and cajoling on the pnrt of the one who would benefit by the trans action. It should be reasonable to apply the same rule to polities. Through plausible misrepresentation on the part of The Oregonian, which claimed that Selling had enough votes pledged to him to insure his election, when that paper knew that he did not, and through misleading claims on the part o f Mr. Selling, several votes were secured for the Selling speakership can didacy. Several other votes were proci ised on the condition that he already had a majority. Those who promised their votes con ditionally certainly should have no bes itancy about changing their allegiance if Mr. Selling and The Oregonian can not show that be previously had a ma jority. That Mr. Selling and The Ore gonian ean not do. Without these latter votes Mr. Bel ling ean not be elected. Those who pledged their votes un conditionally but because o f the mis representation on the part of The Ore gonian and because of misleading state ments on the part o f Mr. Selling, would really be more honest in refusing to car ry out a promise thus obtained than by protecting their honor to the extent of carrying out a promise no matter how- obtained. A member would hardly be honest to his constituents to carry out a promise made under such conditions. Mr. Selling should be honest enough to offer to release any who feel that their votes were obtained under false pretenses. I f he is not willing to release any who do not feel that their votes were honest ly obtained, he is not fair enough to make a good officer. We challenge Mr. Helling to make such an offer to his supporters. I f the votes he has secured were secured fairly and squarely he has nothing to lose by accepting that challenge. I f he is not The Oregonian ’» hand- pieked candidate, let him answer that challenge without consulting that news paper. But he will not accept the challenge— not i f The Oregonian knows it— and if he dare not accept sueh a challenge he might as well acknowledge that in a fair fight he could not get enough votes to elect him. I f Mr. Belling will not make such an offer, and thereby acknowledges that some o f his votes were obtained unfair ly, those whose votes were secured by underhanded methods should have no hesitancy about eoming out for a square deal and for control of the legislature by the members thereof. Mr. Belling hasn’t sufficient uncon ditional votes to elect him. I f a few of those pledged to him should fail him be would have no chance at all. In any kind o f a fair fight Mr. Eaton will win out. We dare Mr. Belling to offer to re lease any member who feels that his vote was secured unfairly. Again we say he does't dare. Q ,v 20 The Oregonian intimates that the man or newspaper that would seek to array on* part of the state against another at thi* time i* little less than a public enemy. That seems to be about what The Oregoaiau has succeeded in doing. ABOLISHMENT SAVES INNOCENT MAN. Two years ago The Sentinel made quite a light for abolishment o f capital punishment. One o f the arguments it used quite frequently was that often the wrong man has been fouud guilty and that it were much better that many guilty ones escape extreme penalty of the law than that one innocent man have his life taken for a crime he did not commit. The Sentinel did not expect to have its point brought home as forcibly as it has been in the last few days. In the penitentiary is a nmn found guilty of murder. But for the abolish ment o f capital punishment at the re cent election this man would have al ready been legally killed for the crime of which he was found guilty. Through the efforts o f an expert criminologist another mun has confessed that it was he who committed the ter rible crime. What would be the feelings o f the officers o f the law now if they had legally killed this innocent manf We have little feeling for a murderer. Wo feel the world would be better with out him. We feel that every possible deterrent should be placed before the intending murderer, but we feel that our argumeut has been shown to have substantial foundation. How impossible it would be to make atonement to this innocent man if his life had been taken from him. The Ashland Tidings closed the old year by issuing a splendid, illustrated booster edition. It was devoted largely to editorial matter regarding the beauty o f Ashland and the wonderful oppor tunnies of that section. It wus replete with halftone pictures o f a large per centage o f the citizens o f that live lit tie city, to which the special edition was a credit. The newspapers refer continually to the Christian nations at war. There are no ehristian nations. Christian na tions would not go to war. The nations at war merely profess Christianity. They do not practice Christianity as nu tions. They are merely nominally Christian. Eugene Guard: W. W. Brown, pay ing teller at the Eugene Loan and Sav ings Bank, has resigned and his place has been taken by H. II. Hobbs, ex change teller. Vernon CalHson, b o o k keeper, will become exchange teller, and Amos W'est will take the position as bookkeeper. Mr. Brown will handle the business o f bis father, deceased. COUNTY TAX LEVY REDUCED 21 MILLS FOR 1915 Was Eighteen Mills Last Tear. Will Be 16>/, Mills • c % ) I This Year — Total to Be Raised Is $594,342.89. Lane County’s tax levy for 1915 has been fixed at 15.5 mills. The county court met Saturday and adopted this levy after having changed only a few items in the budget as resubmitted to the county by the committee o f taxpay ers, which was adopted at the meeting Thursday. The levy last year was 1* mills. The taxpayers voted at the meeting to do away with the services o f the juvenile officer and suggested the cut ting out of the estimate for the main tenance of that office, but the members o f the county court did not see fit to place this work in the hands o f the sheriff as suggested and provided $1,- 500 for juvenile work. The taxpayers' committee was willing to giVe $000 for the work to be performed by members o f the sheriff’s force. The original amount asked for was $1,700. The court also provided for a county veterinarian which the committee re commended cutting out and will give him $500. The assessor was given $2,- 000 for the work o f taking the state census and the total amount allowed for his office is $14,260. The committee recommended $12,260. For the circuit court the committee recommended the sum of $ 15,000 but the county court voted to retain the original estimate c f $17,800. In the account for the care for the poor the committee voted to recommend $10,000 but the court will allow $14,500. In the office o f county treasurer the committee wanted to cut the estimate down to $6,810 but the court allowed that official $7,210.

When a meat flavored sauce ment and a continued story. is added or finely chopped meat is sprinkled over the finished dish, pre parntions of this kind are among the most satisfactory o f meat substitute*. Typical Italian dishes o f macaroni often have strips of smoked tongue or boiled ham mixed with the meat flavor ed tomato sauce, but American cooks have found that other kinds o f meat are equally desirable. C a lf’s liver either broiled or fried, cut into small hi I dice or finely chopped, makes a delicious « mr> 1%<* addition to a dish of macaroni served un with a substantial sauce made from meat stocks mixed with tomato paste. Julienne strips of boiled tripe are al io excellent for this purpose, while ihredded chicken, diced sweetbreads, flaked fish or creamed oysters may be mixed with any o f the Italian pastes that are served with a cream sauce, and the result is an attractive as well as nourishing luncheon dish or entree. Any one of these is suited to serving in a large casserole or in small ramekins, crumbs and cheese lieing sprinkled over the top before baking. They are also excellent for the filling of green pep pers, in which case the macaroni should be eut in inch pieces. 3 Or n A v J W ja ii.! An eaav way o f introducing a novel flavor nifo the familiar dish known as macaroni au grntin, is to sprinkle bits of uncooked bacon over the top of the prepared macaroni just before placing it in the oven. While baking the bacon fat will trickle down through the con tents of the dish, resulting in a delicious flavor, while the bits of lean bacon will be crisp and appetizing. The shell o f a pineapple or Edam cheese makes a good receptacle in which to bake creamed macaroni. There will always be sufficient o f the cheese remaining around the sides o f the shell to give richness to the macaroni and by standing the cheese shell in a link ing dish it will eook without losing its shape. Macaroni timhales are a desirable nd dition to the list of economical lunch eon or supper dishes. One large mould can be used or individual on«i -is pre ferred.
