"" "T-TTT it U trt chftmnion the cause of the
. . rr, t r r A VTC M I? 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.
