A T T rd to that tax levy mat-1 t r we will ay that our information was secured from the official report .f the county court proceedings as puhlinhcd in the official county jmper. If that report was not cor rect why ditl not Judge Mariner cor rect it years ago? Strange that he w.juld allow an erroneous statement f his acta published in the paper designated by himself as "official," to go unchallenged for ten years only to be branded as incorrect when used in an honest effort to bhow the public what bio manage ment of county affairs has been. The records show that at the Jan - - - - - uary term of county court in 1S92 the tax levy was "lor county pur poses 12 mills, for schools 5 mills.' Our understanding of this is that 17 mills was the sum total of the tax for that year. If thers was any road levy or state levy in addition to this 17 mills why does the pub- Jished records not show it?, , The same authority the county official paper gives the sum total of the tax levymade at the January term of the county court in 1002 as 25 mills. This means, if it means anything, that the tax levy is 8 mills higher in 1902 than it was in 1892. We said nothing whatever about the levy in 1901 and in attempting to quote D8 as referring to the levy for that year the judge and his friends are either mistaken or try ing to mislead. In regard to the financial condi tion of the county in 1891 (not in 1892 as thejudge states) and 1901 the judge and his friends'seem to think and we don't blame them -that perhaps the least said the bet ter for them. They intimate bow ever, that we are unfair in quoting from and comparing the Spring re port of 1891 i'before any taxes have been paid in and before the liabili ties of the year had been contracted with the financial condition ending in the fall of 1901 after the bulk of the taxes had been paid in and a very large per cent, of a years ex penditure had been made." ; We fail to see from their own statement as quoted above, what material dif ference that would make, but for their information we will Bay that the reason we compared the Septem ber statement of 1901 with the March statement of 1891, was that we did not have the ' March state ment for 1901 at hand, but did have the September statement for the name year and so used that. We have no wish to be unfair to Judge Mariner or any other man but we have a desire to be fair to the tax payers of this county and that is where the shoe pinches the judge He don't like to have this matter shown up during a campaign be cause it reflects on his much vaunt ed "financial management." The public will notice that the judge and his friends refrain from discuss ing this financial question but the fact remains that the official records as published, show that our state ment made three weeks ago is cor rect viz: "the county has in ten years, gone behind to the tune of $24,928.08," and this under Judge Mariner's financial management. The people want a new deal this year and they are sure going to get it. UNCOLLECTED TAXES. In another column of this im pression will be found an extract from the summary statement of the latest eemi-an 11 ual report of the fi nancial condition of this' county. This extract shows the amount of uncollected taxes, on the 31st day last March to be $19,444.00. This is a large amount of money to be outstanding in a county which is, as shown by the same report, pay ing interest on county warrants to the amount of $31,'925.12, and it shows a laxness of business meth ods and a carelessness of the inter ests of the taxpayers which, to say the least, is not creditable to the persons who are responsible; Perhaps the most important duty of the sheriffs office in this county is the collection of taxes and the above showing is sufficient evidence that that duty has not been looked after in the past as it should, have been. The Globe is aware that Mr. Wilcox, who has held the sher iffs office during the past 12, years has been a popular official. His personal popularity has, perhaps, excelled that of any other individ ual in the county and we have no desire to detract, in the smallest degree, from his personal or private qualities; But bis public and offici taxpayers the people whe bear the burdens of county government as against the desires of any political clique or the personal interests of any individual, this pap?r feels at perfect liberty to criticise that. The fact that no delinquent tax list lias been advertised or sold in this comi ty since 1898 is a pretty good rea son for the large amount of delin quent taxes at this time. Many people will take advantage of the knowledge that tax collections will hot bo forced and will let their tax es run along year after year with out a thought of the injustice it works on their neighbors who pay their taxes promptly every year and it would seem but a reasonable proposition that the official whose duty it is to collect the taxes and whom .the law contemplates shall do that duty every year should 6tep in and put stop to this injust ice. This has not deea done. The writer does not know the reason for the sheriff's negligence in this matter but it may not be out of place here to give for what they are worth, two reasons which he has heard advanced by many dif ferent people. -The first b that Ma IVilcox may count on adding to his personal and political popularity among those who do not care to be prompt in settling their obligations to the county by showing them much leniency, and the second rea son that the writer has heard ad vanced is that perhaps be does not care to incur the extra labor and expense which would have been in cident to the work under the old law which went out of force several months ago. Suffice to 6ay the condition exists. The people of Gilliam county are paying interest on county warrants which they would not be oLliced to pay interest on if the taxes were collected and the money used in redeeming county warrants. Mr. Wilcox has held the sheriff's office for 12 years. His record as given out by the official report as quoted above, shows that his ad ministration of the office has not been altogether for the best interests of the people who pay their taxes promptly. He is now before the people asking to be elected to the office of county clerk. If he has been careless of the people's interest in one office he is likely to be in any other and for that reason the Globe will oosuppor his candi dacy. Mr. Porwood his, opponen needs no mroducnon and will get no high Bounding tribute of honeyed phrases in his paper. Everybody who has been in Gilliam county a year knows him and the newcom ers can ask their neighbors. He is simply a young man ofquie ases and habitj who has grown up in Gilliam county and has made him self what he is one of he best ac countants and clerical men in Easern Oregon. He has never held a public elecive office and, so far as we know has never asked for one, bat has proven his finess for he office for which he has been nominated by having done consid- i erable duty there as depuy. He is not a politician and for ha reason, in view of he couuy's presen condiion afer having been in he bands of poliicians for a dozen years, we believe he will be eleced.

Pullman Ordinary Sleepers The tourist travel between the East and the Pacific Coast has reached enor mous proportions in the Inst few years, and calls for a special class of equipment. To meet this demand the Pullman Co. has issued from its shops what it tech nically calls the "Pullman Ordinary Sleeper." These cars appear similar to we regular sleepers being Mil It on the same plan, but not furnished with the same elegance. They are equipped with mattresses, blsnkets, sheets, pillows, pillowcases, towels, combs, brushes, ect. , requiring nothing of the kind to be furnished by the passenger. Each car has a stove for making tea and coffee and doing "light housekeeping", and each section can tie fitted with an adjust able table. A uniformed porter accom panies each car, his business being to make np berths; keep the car clean, and look after the wants and comforts of the passengers. In each of the trains which are dispatched daily from Portland bv the O. K. A N. Co. is to be found one of these "Pullman Ordinarv 8leeDera' The car attached to the "Chicago-Port- lano special" goes through to Chicego without change, and the one in the "Atlantic Express" runs to Kansas City without change. Passengers in this car for Chicago change to a similar carat Granger. Much of the first class travel is being carried in these cars, the rates beinit lower, and the service nearly equal to that in the palace sleepers. for rates snd full Information, includ ing folders' write to A.
