The Lakeview Examiner says:
It is reported that information

"Uncle Sam" is somewhat an

government has fallen down it's
different. There should bo some
means to bring this fact to the
attention of the department and
make such amends us are nec

be allowed to "monkey," with
us any more man ho allows an
individual to go unpunished.
Carl Welker writes this office
that he has not found things in
Honolulu as it had been repre
sented to him and his position
with the government is not at
all satisfactory, therefore he ex
pects to be home some time in
March, "never more to roam
from his own fireside." Instead
of placing him on duty in Hono
lulu as he expected, he was
transferred 28 miles out into the
mountains to watch over some
government work that may be
shut down at at any time. The
accomodations are not good and
is no place for his family. The
provisions he describes as not
being fit for a Harney county
hog. When you strike at Carl's
Blomuch he is hit in a very vital
spot, as he is a good feeder and
therefore we are not surprised at
his decision to come home.

Taxation Law Question
Whether the initiative measure
passed by the people exempting
household goods from taxation is
constitional is doubtful, but un
til the court hold it is invalid it
should be enforced. Under this
exemption assessments made 0B

This is the substance of an
opinion of our Attorney General

questions submitted by the state

raised was whether the repeal at
the recent election of Section A
of Article Oil, of the Constitution,
this being the county single tax j
amendment, and failuroof adopt
