POLITICAL POINTERS.

A w McIntire. the Republican nom

In no sense of the word a politician.
Though the recipient Of liberal edu-
cation, and the possessor OF mod

following farming and stock raising
and studying the social and economic
problems of the day. He is one Of

The two or three counties in South

gave such large majortties for Waite

operation this year without in any

votes two years ago of which Maupin,
the White Wings nominee, received
less than 10000. With a stronger

PRECINGP ASSESSORS.

The Newberg Independent comes out
in favor of precinct assessors and wants
the office of county assessor abolished.
While there are some good features in
the syst9m Of precinct assessors, yet it
lacks the System and .tboroughness of
an assessment made under the diree4r
tion of one man. With a large num-
ber of assessors for county each work
ing independent of The Others, it woul
be almost impossible to avoid coDfusi ~
and to bring about an equal aud just
assessment for all the precincts IN the
county. The present law might be
improved so as to embody the best fea-
lures Of precinct assessment by lin
iting the time to sixty days aud having
the work done in April and May so
that the roll could be made mp In time
for the payment Of taxes to commence
by the first of September. when money
Is little more readily had than in he
spring as now required. Oregon City

A precinct assessor could do bis work
In about thirty days at SO day; at
present the county pays s.
a day to the assessor and all the dep
uties he wants to hire, and reports his
own time. The assessors Office is one of
the most lucrative in the county.

FORD AND CATCH.

A Republican who voted TO nuke
Mr.. Dolph senator twelve years ago
has given some good reasons in THE
JOURNAL why he should not be chosen
again at present. He says Salem has
some suitable material for representa-
tive In the upper house at Washing
ton. This Is very true and it may fall
TO the honor of Salem to furnish a
senator to succeed Mr.. Dolph. 1t could
not fall on many men who would be
more acceptable to the people Of Ore
Ron than either Tilmon Ford or Claud
Gatch-Salem's popular mayor. Ma
yor Gatch's father has been voted for
for senator and that the son is likely
to be honored In the same way Is not
at all unlikely.
The gentlemen mentioned arc plain
men who work for living. They are
taxpayers and know how TO earn a
dollar In an honest way. A man TO be

THE JOURNAL is flooded with letters
from citizens, mostly Republicans, WI o

who want to name Oregon's next SEN
ator and organize the legislature. THE
JOURNAL cannot print all these letters,
but pledges itself to do all in its power
to fight the currupt aud antiquated
combination and break their hold on
the politics of this state. But the real
work resls with the people.
Taxpayers and citizans, but especi-
ally voters-Republican voters above
all else who love their party, their
c1uutry and good government, must
talk to their representatives and sena-
tos, now; before they leave home.
Make them pledge themselves to not
give you another legislature like the
last, organized by the Portland boss' 8
and boodlers to serve the capitalists
and corporations, 10 create offices aud

ole what was promised them last May

Do not wait until they come to Sa-
lem to tell them what you want. Talk

and tell them tn stand by you. D. not

der the il 11enees OF tie lobby, riding
on free passes, offered oyster suppers,

be TOO late.

and labor for these reforms a firm Of
Il wyers at Portland, who
deal with the politics of the state as
though it were their personal property,
who have in the past received as high
as 800 600 year salaries from the Pa

politics of the people, these men will
again name your senator and organize
your legislature. Go to work.

OUR UNJUST TAX LAW.


The most unjust act Of the last legis
lature was the repeal Of the mortgage
tax law without reducing the legal rate
OF interest. Repeal Of the law taxing

ti)n for debt, let TIE Dcn resident

The Illegal rae of interest should be

Representatives from many counties
are elected upon platforms pIedging
them to re.en lct the mortgage tax law

of The JOURN LL. IT is just PROPOSE
tion to the deb or class. Bat juster
proposition would be the re.ensctment
Of thee laws, coupled with reduction
of the legal rate of interest from 10 per
cent. TO per cent. That is an I'M pera-
tive itsue in this state, under present
circumstances. The hardship worked
upon the debtor class by the dose of
extravaganza at the hands of the last
legislature and the inability to relieve
depression at the hands of the Demo-
cratic party is something appalling.
We are not sure but that this should be
made one of the leading issues in the
Organization Of the legislature. The
next president of the senate and
speaker of the house in Oregon should
clearly put themselves on record SO
that men may be chosen pledged TO
terminate the present unjust tax law
and relieve the oppressed debtor class.

The usual hostility Of Salem to the
State University crops out in an article
in THE CAPITAL JOURNAL of Monday,

are q sufficient answer to this untruth-
ful and scurrilous screed. THE JOUR.

The Guard is off its base. The ap-
preparation for the State University is
provided for by general law, aud no
