THE BANK TAX.

We are unable to understand
why the First National bank peo-
pie should be blamed because
they ask for a reduction in their
assessment. Any other property
owner has right to make SIM
liar request, and a square fight in
open court is NOT taking undue ad-
vantage of any one. This paper
maintains that the assessors orig
inal valuation was equitable and
just, but it is very easy for the
bank people to honestly think that
it was not. The commissioners
court, in partly acceding to the
demands of the bank, acted for
the county's best interests as they
viewed the matter.
There was no particular princi-
pal at stake. and the'co grant
ed some concessions rather than
engage in All expensive law suit.
Another fact that had something
to do with the courts decision was
that the bank has as part of lis as
sets, about half of the county's
outstanding warrants. and it is
doubtful if the county can tax its
own paper. Judge Hufford stated
that he was firmly convinced that
the higher valuation was proper
and just. Perhaps the commits
sioners thought the same, but as
they are m liking every effort to-
ward getting the county out oi
debt they did not consider il ad-
visable to pay out more i'll attor-
ney fees than they would save in
taxes. The bank stock is assessed
at $4,000 more than it was last
year.
The GAZETTE does not agree
with the banks position, nor does
it think it necessary to attack the
bank for looking after its own in
terests. Why the assessor should
be dragged into a discussion of the
matter is a puzzle. He made his
assessment as required by law and
then stuck to is as he should have
done if he thought he was right
He doesn't deserve any particular
praise nor has he earned any par
ticular blame.

CORVALLIS MORALS.

The Eugene papers are rather
fond of advertising Corvallis as
being a s'tough" town. The rapid
growth of the Agricultural College
In popularity and usefulness and
the more undesirable condition of
affairs in the state university has
occasioned this hatred of Corvallis
that finds fodgementin the breasts
of the average Eugeneite. The
Journal of last week sprinted the
following:
A gentleman who formerly
lived in Corvallis, in speaking OF
the Williams runaway affair the
other day, said: "Corvallis is a
wicked town. She is rotten 10
the core. Among higher social
circles there is more 'naughtiness'
going ON than in any other town of
its size i'll. Oregon. And they do
not try very hard to. conceal it
either"
That is malicious libel. While
Corvallis has more life and enter
prise than any other town in the
valley, her moral condition is as
good as any and better than most.
In the matter of sensations our
town seems to have more than her
share, and this may be due to the
fact that her sof color" Iolks have
spirit enough 10 make their doings
interesting to the public. But the
more reasonable theory is that
Corvallis newspapers are enter
prising and independent enough
to tell all the news in a readable
style. Corvallis is no whitewash-
ed sepulcher. Her people believe
that light is the best cure for
darkness. and that disease is not
arrested by ignoring it. There is
not much badness here. When
the bad ones get too bad they
leave and go to Eugene.

ailments because its approach is unob-
servable. Its symptoms arc common to
other diseases, viz, Severe Headache,
Backache, Dizziness, Sleeplessness,
Blurred Vision, Dyspepsia, etc. Once
let it get a firm hold on the system and
it is difficult to dislodge. 1t is caused
by inability of the kidneys to filter the

STATISTICS OF CRIME.
Attorney General Terrell Begins a
Systematic COmpiIatfon.

Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 2S.-Attorney General
Terrell has begun the compilation of sta
tistics to be used In his annual report to
the legislature which will be read with a
great deal of interest I'm the state and
elsewhere. He will present the first re-
cord of crimes and convictions for the
whole state that has ever been prepared
Other states provide for the collection OF
this information annually. but Georgia has
never had any means regularly establish
ed for Its compilation. For this reason it
has heretofore been impossible to institute
any comparisons between the criminal re-
cords of this state and other states.
Georgia has had all sorts of charges of
lawlessness laid at her doors, and the gem
eral idea In the north is that lynchings
occur here so often that people take no
account of them. And no records has
been preserved to officially refute these
unjust charges and impressions. II was
for this purpose that the attorney general
has undertaken the work. He has been in
correspondence with the clerks of the
courts and the solicitors general in every
county in the state in quest of the data as
IL comes from the records, and has al
ready heard from about 100 counties
which gives assurance that the record will
be complete one when IL is put into the
attorney generals report next month.
An Idea of the character of the Informal
ton being gathered by Col. Terrell can
DC bDldlueu from the ISL OF questions
which he has sent out to the clerks and
solicitors.
He asks how many homictdes for the
year ending Dec. 81, 1895; how many per-
sons committing homicides were Indicted:
how many tried; give verdict and SEN
tence; how many rapes reported as COM
mitted in 1896; give color of victims and
color Of perpetrators; were the rapists
tried or lynched; if tried, give verdict
and sentence; how many lynchings In
your county during 1896; give color ana
sex of persons lynched; what was the
offense charged.
The attorney general has not made any
consultations of the statistics received
from the counties already heard from as
yet, so IL is not possible to say in advance
what the record will probably show.
