THE OFFICIAL PAPER OF GILLIAM
COUNTY OREGON.
OF
uraH TAX THE CAUSE
i DELINQUENTS. '
The following nuggestions from
the East Oregonian might be prac
ticed in Gilliam county to much
advantage to. those who pay their
taxes: '-'",'
Last year the tax on county
property was twenty mills. Since
i.nlu nhnllt. fine- half of the taxes of
last year have been collected up to
date, .it appears to us the better
plan would have been to have re
duced the number of mills, even
below eighteen, this year and re
solved to enforce the collection of a
larger portion of the delinquent
taxes, or so much of them as can
ilotPrl To nrocrastinate in
this matter is to throw additional
An exchange tells of a wihc farm
er who mortgaged his farm to buy
his wife a diamond ring; the wife
took in washing to pay the inter
est on the mortgage, but finally
lost her ring in the suds, and in a
nf Huannniipncv sne triea 10 com
mit suicide by hanging herself
from a rafter in the barn, but the
rope broke and she fell on a $150
cow and broke tne animai a ubak.,
the farmer tried to shoot the cow
to end her suffering, when the gun
burst and put out both his eyes;
then the wife ran away with a
lightning-rod peddler and the farm
er went to the poor, house. The
mortgage is still doing business at
the old stand.
A very important question to
Kb of Orefron. and not only
Oresrnn. but to the
people of the United States, is the
matter of the election of our U. S.
senators. The editor of this paper
is firmlv of the opinion that we
have no earthlv need of a senator
this matter is to throw additional , allthat imitation, like the
burdens upon those who promptly f lor(Js -n England has out-
pay their taxes.. The people who I , usefulness. But while the
did not pay their taxes last year , j tit t5on of the 8enate does exist,
nave now iwo years iuaco w
The county court should collect
last vear's taxes at once. The
county has an income of 4141,000
a year, if it were all collected, from
aii 18 mill tax on its assessable
property. But owing to a mis
taken 'notion that it is best to be
easy on the taxpayers, much of
this annual income becomes delin
quent and never is paid, so those
who do pay are iorcea w pay
those who don'f through neglect
and lack of business method on
the part of those who have these
matters in charge. Taxes should
be collected at least before the end
r.fpaVh vear. To allow two years
of uncollected taxes to accumulate
means bankruptcy to those who
pay their taxes promptly, as well
as to the county. There never was
any merit in such loose methods.
while senators must be sent to it
until it is abolished, the proper
way is to elect them by the direct
vote of the people. -Salem rost.
Two years ago the expenses of:
the legislature, wnne in session iur
forty days, were $55,000, nearly
$1400 a day. The people who work
and produce naa to pay mio
amount. The good they received
from it a man could carry in a
single hollow tooth. The legisla
ture, as at present organized, is a
burden, not a benefit.- E. O.
How is the fact to be made suffi
that the nublic
charges must be brought down?.
. No sufficient number or our peopie
seeui vet to comprehend how abao-
. J ... rri l
lutely necessary it is. ine ouruen
of tax paying in times like these is
the great burden of the people.
All the products of the country
have fallen in value, the income
from property has been cut down,
and values of land and buildings
v,or Kiinio tr a bdroek basis, but
public expenditures have been but
little reduced, and in many direc
tions not at all. In state, county
and city, in all our newer states, a
system of public expenditures have
been laid on a basis too broad for j
times like these. It is too great,
not merely in cost, but alo in ex
tent. Much less will suffice. Offi
cial salaries should be discontinued
wherever practicable, and that re
main should be made to follow the
of nroDertv val-
UU n ii n w- . - v - n
ues and of the general products of
the country. Uregoman.
Never has there been so auspi
cious a time to reform the excesses,
the extravagances and the multi
farious abuses that have crept into
every department of our govern
ment, from state to precinct, as
now. Never did the needs of the
country so cry for this reform.
The excesses have grown from year
to year, by little and little, till we
have come to have, instead of the
m.nnlo and frnnimiMil crovernment
V- th founders to have
vv v --
been established, one of the loosest
and worst plundered the country
presents. Uregoman.

The. Arizona law . making train
robbery a capital offense, on the
supposition that a man who would
rob a train would murder its occu
pants, is said to have stopped the
practice in that territory. : If that
is true, train robbery will soon be
an extinct industry as it would be
an easy matter for any state to
pass such a law as that, though to
catch the train robbers is an un
dertaking sometimes attended with
difficulty.
Senators will not in any way
represent the people until they are
elected by a direct vote of the peo
ple; and to secure a better repre
sentation of the people, there should
be only one senator from a state,
and a carresponumg ueticooo m

and Regulations.
Judge James A. tVe of l'endleton, has
established the following rules and reg
ulations of practice in the circuit court
during the sessions at which he may
hereafter iireside. which it seeins to us,
are so worthy that they ought to become

crime, the case shall not be dismissed.
All answers must 1)6 filed within one

or a motion directed to the complaint.
Cases of continuation shall be placed
upon the docket by the second day of
the term.
After a cause is at issue it must be
tried, if a jury case, at the next term of
i n t r 1 :
court; and equity cases snau oe reierrcu
to referees, escept such as shall be tried
by the court upon the same day they
are put at issue. It shall lie the duty of
siirh referees to report on or lfore the
first day of the next regular term unless
the order of reference otherwise provides.
No greater attorney's lees-shall be al
lowed than 10 per cent upon the amount

5 percent; when the amount recovered
is from $2000 to $10,000, 5 percent; on
all sums above that amount the fees will
will be fixed by the court.
Attornevs must furnish the clerk with

"When I was a Boy,"
Writes Postmaster J. C. WOODSON,
Forest Hill, W. Va., "I had a bron
chial trouble of such a persistent
and stubborn character, that the
doctor pronounced it incurable with
ordinary medicines, and advised
me to try Ayer's Cherry Pectoral.
I did so, and one bottle cured me.
For the last fifteen years, 1 have
used this preparation with good
effect whenever I take
; A Bad Cold,
and I know of numbers of people
who keep it in the house all the time,
not considering it safe to be with
out It."
" I have been nslnpt Ayer Cherry
pit.nral in mv famllv for 30 years, with
the moat satisfactory results, and can
cheerfully recommend It as being espe
cially adapted to all pulmonary com
plaints. I have, for many years, mada
pulmonary and other medicines a special
study, and I have come to the conclusion
that Ayes Cherry Pectoral occupies a
position pre-eminent over other medi
cines of the class." Chas. Davenport,

A New Cure for Appendicitis
Of late years a fearful dread bas gone
abroad that every one who eats frnita
with small Beeda in thetn m pretty sure
to run the risk of dying a fearful death
by appendicitis, or be forced to undergo
a dangerous operation. So strong has
this dread taken hold of the public
niind that thousands refuse to eat iuiall
fruits when seeds have to be eaten with
them. Grapes are always pitted by
them, and blackberries and even ranp-
berries, with their email insidious seels,
are taken entirely from the bill of fare.
The fact is that appendicitis occurs
very rarely, and the percentage of peo
ple who eat fruit with seeds in them
that are cauicht is intsietiificantly email.
When the complaint does seize one it is
not necessary to resort to an operation,
except in severe cases, nor is it absolute
ly necessary to die. The latest ana
most successful cure is to administer in
ternally from one to two ounces of sweet
oil every three hours nntil the pain and
fever are relieved. The seed which
causes the trouble irritates the muscular
tissue so that congestion follows, and
this mav soon cause inflammation of a
very serious character. Sweet oil, ad
ministered in time and faithfully, allays
t.h inflammatory condition, reduces
temperature and relaxes the tension ui
the muscular coating of the intestines
and append.. Besides that it takes
seed or all foreign substances with it,
and effects a complete cure. The pa
tient should be kept in bed and poultices
should be applied very hot over the
seat of pai'n.N. Y. World. "
