In view of the fact that the main question before the voters this year is that of tax reduction, or at least tax equaliza tion, it behooves, the voter to care fully conalder the qualifications, character "and personality of each man who has filed for office, and then choose the ones thought to make the best officers. There has been considerable dis cussion of the county court Some are of opnlon that our tax muddle sprang from that department of our county governmetn. The fiat has gone forth that a new personneLof that body would tend to clarify tax matters.' As there ia but one mem ber of the, court t? be chosen at this time the voters are somewhat at seas regarding the candidates for thm office. Georgo Mallatt of our section is a candidate. He was ask ed to make the run at a meeting held at Shaniko and attended by nearly every rancher and taxpayer of that city and Antelope. They were in tistent that Mr. Maliatt become a candidate and after much reflection he agreed to the demands and has been in the field for the office. He" has made friends herever he has been and has made an exceptionally clean campaign. Mr. Mallatt has made his slogan: "For personal inspection of county problems," meaning that if elected he will scrutinze each measure com ing before the county court, and that each will be weighed according to its merits before he will make a de cision. He is opposed to the trans ference of the roads funds of one district to another, and will work to the end that our taxes shall be re duced as much as possible and that assessments shall be made on an equitable basis. He is a taxpayer, a rancher and fully understands the burdens under which our agricultur ists are laboring. A vote for George W. Mallatt will be a vote for your own Interests. For the office of county assessor tk... ... tv. " " v IT . u 01 Uu bnt rtcentiy disposed Mr. Doud of a large ranch to enter the real estate field. He knows projwrty worth and will, if rhosen, attend to asressing mat ters personally. He is averse to leaving as. easing to , subordinates, and hia peronalty is such that if chosen a new light will" be shed around the assessor's office. His standing in the county is of the highest. He is honest, conscienti- ous and able. If the voters wish to help themselves and desire thut their tax matters be taken care of in a most competent manner they will vote for Will L. Doud. - The office of clerk has three aspi rants, they being the present incum bent, W. L Crichton. Henry Sherr er and Bruce H. HulL The recent di ose of 4he acts of Mr Cri;ht-n in taking fees and the consequent agreementto return same to vthe county, is on thing that has aroused the voters againct his candlacy. Chrichton seema to l e out of the running, therefore thn choice of a n.an for the office cletk in be tween the other two men. . Henry Rherrer h a native of Wasco coun ty. He comes from one of the most influential families ot - this section, rnd his -personal capabilities are known to hundreds, of our county's people. He is upright is educated and if he is placed in the clerk's of fice our people may rest assured that his slogan "couresy, efficiency and economy'1 will go hand in hand in his adminlf tration of the business of the office. - , .-. ,. The sheriff's office has been pre sided over during the past 22 years by Levi Chrisman.We have been told that on divers occasions he has plead ed with opporing candidates that he he given one more chance and then he would 1 not run for the office again. But he has had such' a yen for the job thatwith each succeed ing election the name Levi Chrisman has appeared, on the ballot as a can didate to succeed himself. If the people of this county desire to give a man a life's tenure in office, then the statutes should be to amended. 'and Levi be made an absolute mon arch in the sheriff's office. The one outstanding opponent to Chriaman ia Charles W. McMahon. "Golden Rule Mack," as he is call ed, has made a success of his own business, and that in the face of great opposition. He realizes the difficulties to be encountered as sheriff, and if nominated and elec ted will earry into that office the tame business attributes shown in the conduct of his own affairs. His slogan is "conrcientious and im partial law enforcement; economical and courteous service." That Mc Hahon will live up to that standard goes without saying, and that he will be sheriff according to law stands out in his favor. ' ,For county coroner there are three candidates, each an undertaker of The Dalle-. Of these Bert Thomas has had the most experience in the office. For eight years he was in practical charge of the coroner's du ties and gave satisfaction in every case handled. He stands high in Wasco county, haa occupied respon dble positions in many of the influ ential orders and societies of The Dalles, and is in every way eninent ly fitted to perform the dutie3 of coroner in a satisfactory manner. He promirea a ''quite, economical service," and all who know hira trurt jhlm to follow out that promise if nominated and elected. There la n vacancy in our congres sional delegation, owing to the ele vation of Nick Sinnott to the bench of the Court of Claims. Our can didate as Nick's successor is Judge R. R. Butler. He htands preemi nently at the head of the list of can didates, as his qualifications as a lawyer and statesman have shown in our state scnaate and on the bench. He is a student of all mat- Mra pertaining to the needs of this section and can ably fill the position lately vacated by our Congressman Sinnott As his name will not ap pear on the ballot it will be neces sary to write it in, therefore votere are cautioned to be most careful in voting and see that the name of R. R. Butler is written in in the space immediately below the line" - For Representative in Congress," and just above the word "State" in heavy type. Judge Butler's name was brought into the campaign by his friends. He was in no wise an aspirant for the office, but when ad mires by the score insisted that he j becom '"date he decided to allow his name to be brought before the people. There ia no nece sity tor The Times to eol his capabili ties, for he is known to all ar, an exceptional lawyer, while his work as' a member of the state renate has been such as to reflect brightly on those who voted to have him repre f eat this district in the state legisla ture. Again we caution those who desire Judge R. R. Butler, to serve this district in congrers to be very careful in voting and see to it that his name is written in in the place detailed above. If the voters wilt conduct their own interests they will cast their ballots for the above named candi dates. Each is capable, honest and will serve the county wih credit and at the same time work to the end that our taxes be equalized and that our various county activities ze car ried on with a minimum of expense. Vote your own interests and to do so will be to cart u ballot for the best men running and they mentioned in this avticle. are W.co Still Healthful The last report of the State Board of Health keeps Wasco county at the head of the list in the matter of communicable diseases.

Tortlond, of course, head ed the list of coses, there being 28 cases of small poxk 32 of meales, 47 of chickenpox and 15 cases running the gamut of all other ailments.
