Grove Leader,
Assessor
Keeney calls attention to the fact
that the Southern Pacific company
is now assessed $20,000 per mile,
but we ask, why did he not raise
the assessment to $.10,000 per mile,
the same as iu Marion, Linn and
Douglas counties?
Mr. Keeney states that he did
list the S. P. Co’s road bed at $.10,-
000 (ier mile, but that he did not
succeed iu getting the assessment
at that figure. W e ask why not?
The farmers of Lane county pay
the assessment made by
Mr.
Keeney, why not the railroad com
pany?
W hy should the Southern Pacific
company be allowed to have their
assessment placed at $20,000 when
listed $.10,000?
Mr. Keeney admits, by his com
munication that the S. P. Co's
road bed should have lieen assessed
at $. 10,000 per mile, and he has
not explained to the voters of
Lane county, why the assessment
was made at only $20,000 per mile.
The difference in the assessment
of the railroad bed in this county,
lietweeu $.10,000 jier mile and $20,-
000 per mile is the sum of $407,000
upon which the taxes are lost to
Lane county this year.
Mr. Welby Stevens of Spring
field promises the voters of Lane
county, that if he is elected, he
will raise this assessment the $407,-
600 or more.

KEENEY'S EXPERIENCE
WITH BANK HOLIDAYS
IN THE LINE OF
Professional Cards.
HOARD
The lax roll of Lane county is
invalidated for the year of 1907
The tax laws provide that the
board of equalization shall meet
upon the .Ird Monday in Octolier,
of each year which came upon the
21st day of October, for the year
1907.
The board meeting was not ad
vertised and the board never met
for the year of 1907, thus invali
dating the tax roll for 1907 because
of the negligence of the assessor
in uot calling the meeting, as re
quired by law.
Although Mr. Keeney probably
merely forgot or overlooked the
date required by law for the board
to meet, yet, inasmuch as the en
tire validity of the assessment de
pends upon the meeting of the
board of equalization, his forget
fulness can hardly be excused, as
to so vital a part of his duties.
It is true that the farmers paid
their taxes just the same, but the
corporations took advantage of
this oversight to get their assess
ment fixed ujxm satisfactorily to
themselves.
Mr. Stevens of Springfield,
promises the voters, that if he is
elected the board of equalization
will lx- called each year promptly
upon date siiecified by law and that
the complaints of the farmers will
be heard and considered as care
fully as the complaint of the cor
porations.
Eiactlf Hat Ton Wait
The next sheriff o f this county
will probably handle not less than
seven hundred thousand dollars or
nearly three quarters of a million
of the people's money during his
term of office.
lie should there
fore be a man of Lite strictest in
tegrity and the utmost honesty.
His character, like that of Cottar's
wife, should be above suspicion.
Harry Bown, candidate for sheriff
on the democratic ticket, has a
record for faithfulness to duty that
entitles hnn to the confidence of
the voters. The question of wheth
er the candidate is a democrat or
republican should not be consid
ered iu the matter of county offices
but the character of the man is
what should be looked at.
Jle
should lie a man of a clear brain
and clear conscience.
It is the
duty of every voter to safeguard
the public funds with the same
care and caution that he bestows
upon his individual property. The
people must have a sheriff that
merits their absolute confidence.
They will and should be satisfied
with nothing less than this. 1 low
can the people judge a candidate
except by his character and by the
record he has made? Harry Bown
is receiving the supjiort of both
parties ltecause he is a man of
character and ability and worthy
of the support of any honest, con
scientious voter. If you want to
elect a man who will be found at
his post at all times, a man who is
thoroughly honest, a man who has
had years of ex(ierience in the
sheriff’s office as deputy, and a
man who is very cool and deliber
ate, honest and upright, and a safe
guardian of public funds, lie sure
that you vote for Harry Bown on
Monday June 1st. — Springfield
