MORROW COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER THURSDAY, April. 23, HELPING THE NEWSPAPERS One of the most difficult tasks In a newspaper office is getting the tacts relative to births, deaths and marrages in the community. Many people take it for granted that when a person dies, the editor is familiar with every detail of the life of the deceased and his activities, when, in fact, he knows absolutely nothing about him and he has to get his in formation from other sources, the same as other persons would have to do. It is the same with regard to marriages or other more or less important happenings in a commun ity. In almost every case the editor has to dig np the particulars or sat isfy himself and the readers of his paper with a meager and Inaccurate account, The average editor of a country paper has something like a mlllinn nnrl a half Of things to do and to think about in a week and the natrnnft ran hardlv overestimate how mnrh he aDoreclates any efforts they may make in furnishing him the facts for news Items.

To the Editor: Along with others similarly situa ted with land possessions in the arid district north of lone, Morrow coun ty, bordering on or located within the purvey of the government re serve for irrigation I wish to protest against the unjust rating of this land: now largely abandoned on ac count of failure to make cultivation pay any profit or even expenses of farming it. ' This land for several years has been rated above the offered selling price by the holders, against their protest. Much of this land has fal len into hands who are non-residents through mortgage foreclosures and over-induced speculation; together with many homesteaders who have struggled with their residence set tlement and obtained title thereto. Personally and under protest I have paid on a rate of taxation far above the selling price on this , land. have not been able to rent it or even give the use of the land to some one to till It. Surely Morrow county tax appraising board should consider and more fairly comparison with other land values, appraise this land for taxation. Now I am not a kicker on taxes. I always vote for school and other public need assessments. I only ask along with others that discrimina tion cease and a fair valuation of land values take its place. If the owners and residents on land in that section make a common protest, a readjustment will take place. Voice your sentiments and get results. Yours for fair play, C. W. BARZEE, STOCK RANCH. 1560 Acres 100 acres under ditch; 60 acres now set to alfalfa and other 40 can be put in at any time. 250 asre farm land. Plenty of water, for all purposes. 700 acres R.

Judge Lawrence T. Harris of Eu gene, candidate for Justice of the Su preme Court of Oregon before the coming primaries, is a native of Ore gon and a graduate of the Universi ty of Oregon and the law department of the University of Michigan. He has served as judge of the second ju dicial district of the state since 1905, and he has the unanimous endorse ment of the attorneys of the Lane county bar, 64 in number, for the lm Dortant office he seeks. Judge Har ris stands high In the legal profess ion In this state and is a man tnat every republican can conscientiously support. Four Justices of the Su preme Court are to be chosen, and .Tndee Harris nromlses if nominated and elected, that he will, during his term of office, to the best of his ability, continue to administer law as It is, without regard to wealth, poverty or creed of any litigant or attorney. The record Judge Harris has made during his term of office as presiding judge of the second Ju dicial district is proof that he will faithfully carry out any pledge made to the people of the State. ' There is no provision in the law for the swearing in of voters at the primary election, and if you are not registered by April 30, you will fail of the privilege of voting for your choice of candidates on the republi can or democratic tickets. Only a few more days left before the books close and you will have to hurry. The ballot at the general election in November will likely have the appearaiice of an Indian blanket, both with regard to size and variga ted appearance. ' The socialists have started a movement to repeal the initiative and referendum; the Grange will try to abolish the state senate; U'Ren's latest scheme is to elect the governor by the people and give him power to appoint all other officers. Besides these, political fads and fancies by the score are be ing hatched to confuse and lead the people into a ohe man government. Oregon is passing through a politi cal revolution. When will it end, and where Is It leading us?-Browns-ville Times. Another Heppner boy shied his hat into the political ring last week and announced that he would seek the democratic nomination for the office of County Treasurer. Han son Hughes has been a resident of Morrow, county for the past twenty eight years, his parents having loca ted here when he was but two years old. Mr. Hughes is a graduate of Heppner High school, being a mem ber of the class of '98. For the past several years he has been en gaged In the store business in Hepp ner with his father.

McNary, dean of the Willamette law school and the young est man on the Supreme Court bench at the present time is seeking re nomination for that office on the re publican ticket. In announcing his candidacy for Justice of the Supreme Court, he sayB: "During the time I have been a member of the Court I have labored hard to interpret the law as a living, progressive science, rather than as a rule to old to be cor- rftc.ted If found inapplicable to pres ent conditions." Of the four candi dates to be chosen at the primary election, it is our opinion, from Mr. McNary's past record, that he should be one of them. Better roads for Morrow county. Every day will be a Good Roads Day before long. We give place in another column to a communication from Mr. C. W. Barzee, of Portland, a "foreign" landowner who Is compelled to pay taxes in Morow county. He regis ters a protest against what he terms an unjust rating of the land for tax purposes as it is a tract so situated that he is unable to get any revenue from it. From the argument set up by Mr. Barzee it may appear that he has just cause for complaint but it is a fact that his land is situated along side of another body of land that is being successfully farmed and cultivated at present time, and has been for a few seasons past and Mr. Barzee should get busy and put his property in the same paying condi tion. What one man is able to do in the same' locality, another can do if he is bo disposed, but if he shall choose to let his land lay idle and grow up to weeds and become a men ace to adjoining property on account thereof, he should not blame the tax authorities of . Morrow county for placing a rating on his land the same as the Industrious man has to stand for what is next to him. : At the present time there are thousands of acres of such land being held for speculative purposes in this county that should be claced under proper cultivation, and if these parties de sire to let the lands stand idle ana befoul their neighbors with weeds, let them pay sufficient tax to help the other fellow in his struggle against them. The county is not to blame, as we view it, for men are be ginning to make gooa all over the north end of the county. It lays with the owners themselves. MR. FKASEK ON GOOD ROADS. Gooseberry, Or., April IS, 1914. Editor Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon. Dear Sir:- What is a Progressive Roads Ad ministration? Morrow county has long suffered from roads. The law requires that 60 per cent of the Road Tax shall be expended in the district from whence collected. Heretofore the Commissioners have sent out "Road Grader Crews" un der eliormous expense, the moving and going over and over the same roads has caused a general dissatis faction. It would be better to place the Districts In divisions, placing one Road Grader in each division to be used in turn. Let the Supervisors supervise the roads, let them use the graders with other tools and make every district a district of competition with the other, then the roads would benefit all. . - Appoint Road men by petition, not through politics, aiming for road service. i All powder and rock work should be under one head, as powder and (PANCER IN A WOMAN'S BREAST UMTS IE5IHS I S!tiiH LUMP LIKE THIS AND ALWAYS POISON8 OCEP Q LANDS IN THE ARMPIT AND KILLS QUICKLY IWILLGIVES1000 IF I FAIL TO CURE any CANCER or OCR NO KNIFE Of PAIS.
