VALLEY RECORD.
The People’s
Paper.
ASHLAND, Or....Thursday, May 28, 1898.
Don’t forget that the ten populists so
obstructed the pathway toward economy
and reform that the seventy-two republi
can members of the last legislature were
unable to enact a single law in accord
ance with their pre-election promises. A
poor excuse is better than none at all,
you know, besides, it wouldn’t do to lay
everything onto the Wilson bill.
A. 8. Barnes, people’s party nominee
for sheriff is making some effective
speeches in the northern part of the
county this week. When Barnes visits
a district and leaves it the friends of the
other candidates feel very tired. Brother
Barnes is all right and the people all
know it. That's why Barnes will get
there and he will lead the populist ticket
on to victory next Monday.
That old arch enemy of the people; the
organ of the banks arid corporations—the
Oregonian, is desperate. It shouts itself
hoars* and tears hie hair in frenzy, and
declares that the populist state and coun
ty committees are breaking up the old
republican party. Well, let ’er break.
The republican party ia breaking by its
own weight of dishonesty and fraud; and
the best class of republicans are coming
over to the populists. That is all right;
let them come; and when they do come
let every populist give them a hearty
shake of the hand.
The industrious and painstaking assessor
Geo. A. Jackson, last year made the best
assessment in Jackson county. Up to
within a few months ago this was conceded
by all parties that were in a position to
know. Bat since the campaign began the
S. P. barrel has talked—and talked and
keeps on talking. To give a little color of
truth to the idea of Jackson’s so-called in
competency last week's g. o. p. information
bureaus called attention to some few facts
in the assessment to substantiate the idea.
Here is where our literary* brethren touched
the wrong key. It has caused the record to
be brought out thoroughly and that official
record preaches the truth with more con
vincing force than any friend ef the idea
of assessing corporations could have
possible conceived of.
Whenever the two old parties controled
this county they went before the people
explaining why the county debt and the
burdens of taxation were steadily in
creasing. Each succeeding year the
same old excuses were indulged in. Two
years of “populist misrule,” the debt is
reduced over $20,000 and the same par
ties go before the people and try to
break down the facts or attempt to cab
bage on to the credit themselves. The
best reason’s they offer are that there
have been no bridge swindles, present
“owner book” frauds, have been no
embezzling of county funds, no forged
warrants and no wholesale criminal busi
ness promoted for the benefit of the
“hangers on” and political strikers of
the bosses.
The g. o. p. literary bureau editors in
trying to rebut County Recorder Raw
lings’ facts, carefully, truthfully and im
partially gathered from the county rec
ords, are falling into the errors that an
indolent, lazy prevaricator would natur
ally drop into. Their contention (and
the editor of the “democratic coluun”
this week reiterates the same) is that
the $1,973,400 railroad mortgage on rec
ord in Jackson county covers the rail
road mortgage of the entire state. The
g. o, p. column editors are too infernally
lazy to find out before they write it
whether their “presumptions” are facte
or not. If they were a little bit informed
they should know better. Besides that
the R scord of May 14 (which these edit
ors must have seen from the amount of
talk they make about it) contained the
aworn testimony ot Manager R. Kibler
of the Southern Pacific, in which he
testified that their mortgage dated July
1. 1887, was for $20,000,000. Yet the
lazy “presnmers” will publish to the
world statements they never investigate
or verify to their own satisfaction, much
less demonstrate to the fair-minded
reader.
Phe indications are that populists will
have an increased party plurality in Jack*
son county. The republican state commit
tee even figures this county as populist.
The populists will probably elect Martin
Quinn to congress from Eastern Oregon
and have a fighting chance to elect Van-
derburg in this district.
Judge Neil would give the democratic
party credit for finding the 27,000 acres of
land which is entirely due to the individual
efforts of one Joseph Koch, a civil engineer
and expert draughtsman, and whois in the
business of making county maps. Mr.
Koch came to Jacksonville and on inquir
ing around as to the advisability of making
a map was informed by Recorder Raw
lings that there was probably 25.000 acres
of land in Jackson county, which never
had been assessed. So Mr. Kocii went to
work on his map as a business proposition,
with no encouragement from Judge Neil.
But after he put in several months and
finds this amount of land not assessed, he
has a map that will be of inestimable value
to the county for years to come because of
its neatness and correctness in every par
ticular. After tpe map is purchased by the

Portland, Or., May 25,1896.
Hearing t*'at Thomas H. Tongue, while
stumping the district in his own behalf, has
made use of a letter written by his oppon
ent W. 8. Vanderburg to brand the latter
as an anarchist. I desire to say to friends
of “purity in politics,” that I have read
the letter, and, though a republican, I can
not, as a member of the American Protec
tive association, allow a wrong to pass un
checked, for the benefit of my party. I
have nothing to say as to Mr. Tongue or
his methods, but rise above party tn the
defense of justice.
Mr. Vanderburg’s letter calls attention
to the prevalence of crime and destitution,
and argues that punishment for a crime
committed by one driven to it by starva
tion, will not cure the evil. That where
the cause for crime has sprung from bad
legislation, it should be eliminated by the
same power, and that until statesmen
realize this and make laws to protect the
poor as well as the rich, there can be no re
formation. Mr. Vanderburg does not say,
as quoted by Mr. Tongue, that it is wrong
to punish crime until the cause forcrime
is removed; but he does say, that unless
the cause is removed, crime will exist
