UNEQUAL ASSESSMENTS.

Each and every section of country are
equally interested in having the assessment
of taxes made equal and uniform. 1t is not
just and proper for one part of our county
or State to be assessed higher or lower than
the remaining portion of it. For several
years the charter regulating our city gov
ernment has limited the levy for city pur-
poses to five mills on the dollar, which with
a valuation on the property of the city at a
corresponding value at which property is
valued for purposes of assessments in other
parts of the county would make the revenue
of the city too small to bear the expenses of
the city government. In order to overcome
the difficulties arising from being confined
: to too small levy, the Recorder of the city
whose duty it has been for years past to
assess the city for city purposes. have adopt
ed the plan of placing a very high valua-
tion on city property in order to raise any
thing like an adequate revenue to defray
the annual expenses of the city.
So far has this method been carried that
it seems that the valuation on city property
has nearly always far exceeded what the
property could be sold for between individ-
uals in the ordinary line of sales. These
kind OF assessments for several years the
people of Corvallis have been receiving in
double distilled doses because several county
assessors, previous to this time, have con-
strued their duties to the people Ito have
been performed in just and consistent
manner by deputiizng the city Recorder to
assess the city for county purposes also, and
hence the high and exhorbitant valuation
that the people have had to pay on town
property for city purposes have also in this
manner been adopted by the county assess
ors for county purposes, and the people
thereby compelled to pay an unequal tax.
This manner of unjustly assessing the most
populous and wealthy portion of the,county
and thus placing upon them an unjust pro-
portion of the county tax ought to be con-
demned by all who believe in an equal and
just taxation.

SHALL IT GO UNREBUKED.

It will be seen by the press dispatches
that Capt. W. j. Ross of Arizona, in charge
of so Rangers who had pursued lot of hos
tile Indians south, and by so doing had
crossed over into Mexican Territory, were
met by Mexican troops and by them disarm-
ed and turned back to pass homeward $50
miles through hostile Indian country
without single thing to defend themselves
with from the attacks of the hostile savages.
This certainly is an outrage against the
United States ana should be dealt with as
it deserves. It is pretty well understood
that for years the Mexicans along the
border of Mexico and the United States
have for long time been encouraging and
assisting the depredations of Indians against
the white citizens of the United States
never before perhaps was the attitude of
Mexicans towards our border people so
plainly demonstrated as in the late outrage.
But in more secret manner they no doubt
have done much worse. They have now
become so open and notorious in their hos
tllity towards us that they dare to stop and
take the arms and all means of defense from
our citizens who are in the act of chasing
the attacking savages from their doors. 1t
has been a long time since Mexico has had
any trouble of consequence with the United
States, and likely she has entirely forgotten
her illfate resulting from the unpleasant
experience that she did have in opposition
to authority ot the United States She
should be made to know that Uncle Sam
ought not to be trifed with, especiallyfn
matters arising from her citizens in the act
Of protecting their lives and property.

The following selection is from Elihu
Burritt's book, recently published:
There is no power Of love 80 hard to
get and keep as kind voice. A kind
hand is deaf and dumb. 1t may be
rough in flesh and blood, yet do the
work Of a soft heart, and do it with a
soft touch. But there is no thing that
love so much needs as a sweet voice to
tell what it means and feels; and il is
hard to get and keep it in the right
tone. One must start in youth and be
on the watch night and day, at work
and play, to get and keep a voice that
shall speak at all times the thoughts of
kind heart. But this is the time when
sharp voice is most apt to be got.
You often hear boys and girls at play
say words with quick, sharp tone, as
if it were the snap of a whip. When
one of them gets vexed you will hear
a voice that sounds as if it were made
up Of a snarl, whine and bark.
Such voice often speaks worse than
the heart feels. 1t shows more ill-will
in the tone than in the words. 1t is
often in youth that one gets voice or
a tone that is sharp, and sticks to him
through life. and stirs UP ill-will and
grief, and falls like. drop of Aall on the
sweet joys of home. Such as these get
sharp home voice for use, and keep
their best voice for those they meet
elsewhere, just as they would save their
best cakes and pies for guests, and all
their sour food for their own board.
would say to all boys and girls, "Use
your guest voice at home. Watch it
day by day, as pearl of great price,
for it viii be worth more to you in days
to come than the best pearl hid in the
sea. A kind voice is a JOY like lark's
song to the heart what light is to the
eye. 1t is light that sings as well as
shines. Train it to sweet tones now,
and it willlkeep in tune through life"

er, and another lief; in its place. AS
the hat left was just as good as the hat
taken, and as the former fitted him
quite as well, he bore the exchange
philosophically and logged home. He
had no sooner entered his lodgings
than he saw they had been entered
with false keys, his chest of drawers
broken open, and his four hundred
dollars stolen. He did not sleep that
night.
The hat left him did not altogether
suit him, so he went to his halter to
change it. His halter told him that
the evening before man had come to
the shop and had said that he had in
advcrtantly taken a gentleman's hat,
and seeing the latter's name inside, he
had called, thinking the halter might
be able to give him the owners name
and address, that he might restore the
! hat accidentally taken. The halter
gave the name and address. The burg
lar secured four hundred dollars by the
information given.
The burglars hat was left with the
halter, and new hat selected. After
the clerk left the halter took the
lining out of the burglars hat, and to
his surprise found under it letter,
bearing an address. He read it, and
found it was from a burglar. promising
aid in a contemplated burglary which
had been planned by the person to
whom it was addressed. The halter
took the letter to the police and told
what had occurred. Before sunset
both burglars were arrested.

Josh Billings.
From a New York Lette,


The famed writer of the Yankee
proverbs is now about sixty in
years, and shows. it. His hair, which
is as long and unkempt as ever, is iron
gray, and his stiff, dropping moustache
is fast changing to the color of old age.
AS he grows older, he seems to be-
come more supremacy regardless of
persons, surroundings or opinions. AS
he greets one with q machine-like
elbow do we do" or an inanimate
"Good day." the impression is convey
ed that he has arrived at that state Of
life and prosperity where he deems
fate powerless TO work any alteration
for worse. Billings is essentially a man
to himself, taciturn, and unobtrusive
everywhere. He is not so popular as
formerly, his only work now being that
which appears in the New York
Weekly. For this service he receives,
perhaps, $4,000 a year. His royalty
from the circulation Of Proyerbs," his
almanacs and other works swell his
yearly income to about $1,000. He is
now willing, but not attractive. lee
turerer his services in this field are in
small and waning demand. From the
proceeds of his labor he has amassed
a fortune of over $4,000. All this
money apparently affords himself and
wife but meager and inelegant COM
fort. They pass a quiet, relegated, but
doubtless contented life, in an UMPIRE
tentious Sixty-third street dwelling
house, tie garnet of which is made to
answer the combined purposes of lit
erary sanctum and store-house.
