Another case which merits the contien
nation Of every good citizen has come within
our observation during the last few days,
iourg Mclaughlin, a boy Of about fourteen
years cf age, has for some time past been
getting drunk and thus far he has evsded
all efforts of the city authorities to ascertain
where he obtained his liquor. On last Sat
nrday tie Marshall again found him drunk
who placed him in the city calaboos where,
at this writing, he yet languishes. Such an
occurrence as this IS Il burning shame and
disgrace to scivilizsd people This has ar
ents cannot safely live in town and raise a
family OF boys without running the riak Of
some os;ttaao giving or selling to their boys
Intoxicating liquors and find them coming
home drunk from the effects tllereot. When
such things as this occur frequently aud al
so the sale Of liquors is repeatedly made to
parties who are declared to be common
drlnkards it turns a great many thoughtful
persons against Che traffic in Intoxicating
liquors who have heretofore remained pass
i've on the subject satisfied to prenit every
body to dc as they please in the matter Eat
when every law Of the lsnd ia violated and
yorng boys arc mabe drunkards repeatedly
while parents remain poweriess TO avoid the
awful calamity it forces every sensible man
to the irresistible conclusion that such an
Internal traffic should he blottei from the
land. Sugh a contemptihIe evil shonld not
even be tolerated by license.

True Cash Value.

The annual assessment in the several
counties of the state is being made by the
several assessors Of their respective counties,
Time and again the legislature of Oregon
has passed laws to serve as guide in re
quiring the assessors to make Just and
equitable valuation of property. But thus
far the efforts of the legislature have avaiied
nothing because assessors generally deemed
themselves competent and authorized to
take the Law into their own hands and place
the value On property according to ther own
notions of equity snd equality. The leg
lsiatnfs of 1850 on this subject provided
that property and especially land should be
assessed At the ''truc cash value, " an Further
that the true cash value" shall be held and
taken to mean the amount such property
would sell for at voluntary sale made in
the ordinary course OF business. and not
what it would bring at public anction CT
forced sale" This legislative definition Of
the term ''true cash value" certainly seems
SO plain that no man could possibly be ms
taken in following it unless the deviatlons
from its directions were dons purposeiy.
And yet it has had no ma erjal effect in the
system OF valuations praticed before its
passage There is not 3 single county in
the state where their assessor has followed
the directions above quoted, although at
the same time they have been acting as
sworn officers under oath to do their duty
under the law And yet two thirds of the
property assessed since the passage of that
law instead of being assessed at its "true
cash value" they have assessed it about from
one-third TO onc-Lalf only OF the true cash
vsIae. )" and yet if these assessors were told
that they had violated their oath of office
and by 30 doing had. made themselves sub
jects for the examination of > grand jury il
each of their respective counties they
would no doubt be insulted; but that mat
tefs not the fact would remain the same.
Ii remains to be seen whether the assess 5rs

Keeping open Doors.

In our last issue Of the GAZETTE we made
mention of stabbing affair in which We
said .'cn lat Saturday tmeaning the Satur-
day of the week before last) after midnight
whea ali men should have been quietly at
home enjoying sleep in another one of our
town Saloon, two parties had sons words
and one stabbed the other. Ger friend OF
the saloon takes tome exceptions because
we said it was after midnight We dld so
understand it since publishing the item
however outside parties who were there
present at the time informs that we wers-
wrong as to the time as the atfary occurred
about 5 minutes before midnight. For the
discrepancy in point of time We have no apol
ogy however to make The ditfersnce in
the time az to whether it was Is minutes
before midnight or Is minutes sf
tes ward makes not particle of difference.
The point we were making was that bust
ness houses where men could lay around
until late hour OF the night until they be-
come crazy drunk and then get into a row
with some other person and shoot or stab
them and have to be tried for such offence
putting the taxpayers to enormous expense
should be closed up IN the early evening be-
fore such disaracefui scenes occur. And we
further state that the public has such an in
terest Ia these things that it matters not
what kind OF business it nay be whether
saloon tipping house store shop or any 9th
er kind of business if parties by laying
around them and thereby beco,De crazed TO
| s leh an extent that crimes are contnittai
for which the public have to pay sums of
money for the punishment thereof and such
places If closing them at Is past midnig ght
will not prevent such occurrences then they
should be closed at Is minutes before twelve
and if SUCH time is not carly enough which
experience Ias taught us that it is not ti,en
they should be closed at 8 o'clock and if this
viii not do then close them at G. o'clock
and If ciossng them early will not prevent
criminal disturbances then close them al
together. We nave disposition to make
any distinction between different classes OF
business only in their effects upon the pub
lic But it iE a settled fact that when any
business so effects the public good as tc be
burdensome TO the people and to the tax
payers they have constitutional right IN
hesent in all civilized government to SO reg
uiate and circunlscribe such business so as
to prevent it from interfering with other
people il society.
