the Union candidate for sheriff of
Marion county.
The reason is plain.

Hendricks can't get In his bill for
publishing tax sales at $500 a lick.
THE JOURNAL has not published a
word derogatory to Mr.. VAIN, the Re-
publican candidate. He came to Ore
gon from the same county in Iowa
with TIE JOURNAL men, and we
would not bemean ourselves to speak
OF our fellow Hawkeye as Bob Hen
bricks speaks OF a fellow Oregonlan.
Frank DurUin Is a natiYe of Marion
county, raised on a Howell Prairie
farm, and comes from family of
farmers, who have contributed more
TO the wealth OF Oregon than a regi-
ment OF Hendrickses. The general rep.

The most desperate means will be
resorted to In order to accomplish the
defeat OF Frank Durbin for sheriff of
county. He Is too square a

DAVIDSON, FOR ASSES

SOK.
The question OF County Assessment
il one Of the greatest importance To
the taxpayers. There is no question
but that the work Of the assessor OF
Marion county has been farmed out
until 1t costs nearly twice as much as
1t should. The present assessor is a
candidate for reelection. He has
charged the county four dollars a day
for all his deputies and threatened to
sue the county II he was not paid
that amount. II he is reelected he
will doubtless make an effort to col
lect that sum.
The Union candidate against the
present incumbent is II. G. Davidson.

BuRNETT's TECHNICALLY OF

District Attorney Sam Hayden was
perfectly thunde rstruck last Juue.
when, after working hard for week
day and nighttU prove upall charges
Of court house frauds, " have Judge
Burnett bolster the whole structure OF
fraud with his ruling about ''inteut."
After collecting an array Of evil
dence that no honest man could close
his eyes In, including raised records,
tampered bills, Illegal acts, and evil
dence OF cOllusiou to defraud the
county, It. was shock TO all honest
people to have Judge Burnett rule un
technicllity In the presentment
that there might b. a want Of "in-
tent"
Would Judge Burnett have so
strained point II the offender had
been a Democrat, Popullst or Silver
Republican, on the same statement Of
facts9 Would Ire have given poll
tical opponent the benefit Of that
backdoor outlet OF "intent ?"
1t was an Impressive scene at mid
night when those jurors, including
"honest" Tom Townsend, (who has
earned many an honest dollar out of
the county since that day stood be-
fore Judge Burnett asking for In
structions upon a presentment Of
facts. Burnett could not deny that
the public records stacked up before
him by the incorruptible and inde
fatlgable district attorney consti-
tuted crime. But he felt duty
bound TO give the three Republican
grand jurors a sop for their con-
sciences and hammered 1t into their
lntellects that there might be ques.
tion of "intent."
No wonder that Sam Hayden was
thunderstruck. He had the clearest
case eyer developed In the history OF
courthouse rascality In Oregon. The
Republican bosses we're trembling for
the whole courthouse ring that had
conducted these robberes. But they
all breathed easier when they saw
their way out OF all penitential posi-
bllities In Burnett's fine point of "in-
tent"

was his duty to stand by the ring.

LEEDYIS LACKEYS-

Leedy's pretense for disorganizing
the Kansas National Guards, insulting
its officers, and snubbing it's members,
is that he wanted better men than the
old officers. Having succeeded in hu-
initiating the state in the eyes of the
entire country, he proceeds to appoint
a lot of his political buns and strikers
a majority Of whom do not practically
know the difference between the touch
hole and the muzzle of a gun. He
turned down such men as Captains
Koeneke and Downing of this city,
and men like Major Robert Atkinson
and Colonel McCrum, for such political
buns as Hank Lindsay, Bill bedford
and a whole lot Of nobodys and other
Brown, who gave up a civil office un-
der Leedy for one of bigger pay. There
is no other state which would have
stood this miserable, dirty, political
conniving at time when the ma
tons honor was at stake, and Kansas
would not brook it now were her peo-
pie not in the hands Of lot of political
accidents. Even poor old Missouri and
Arkansaw would not stoop to such a
subterfuge at such a moment and in
such a cause. We appeal to every pa
triot. we care not whether he be a
Populist, Democrat or Republican, to
behold the narrowness of a chief exec
utive Of a state, in a crisis like the
present, TO mark the contemplate
shutting Of a governor over a situation
involving life. national honor and the
liberty Of an oppressed people. A man
who does not know any better than to
disorganize at such time and for the
sole and selfish purpose OF rewarding
his own claquers and forwarding his
own political interests, is only fit for
treason and spoils. No wonder Sena-
tor Harris. elected by a Pop legisla-
ture, felt himself Inundated and de-

A LIVE QUESTION.

The supreme court, by what ma
5ority of the people believed to be a
technicality, declared an income tax
unconstitutional The Republican
party seems inclined to align itself
against such tax. It will prove a mis-
take An income tax is a just tax,
therefore a right policy. Our govern
ment was instituted for the protection
of life, liberty and property. But it
sometimes seems that its machinery
and energies are more generously ex-
pended for the protection of the man
in pursuit of property interests than
for the rights Of life and liberty. At
any rate, the interests of the rich are
abundantly conserved, and as their
property is securely protected the rich
should bear thcir proportionate share
Of the expense il maintaining the gov
eminent, in peace and in war. Rev
enue for the purposes of war should
be demanded of the rich, rather than
extracted from the poor. The Eagle
was criticised somewhat for its ex-
the supreme courts decision. We have
not changed our mind. An income-tax
is a most just and defensible tax, from
every consideration. In time Of war
the ranks are filed by the poor, not
by the rich; the poor are killed in bat
tie, not the rich; the poor mans in
come is taxed strenuously, in that all
he earns must go for the purchase of
iife's necessities, which are enhanced
in price by reason of war. An extra
price placed on the necessities of ife
is not felt by the rich-they burthen
the poor. Life comes first, liberty Sec
ond and property third in the line Of
inalienable guarantees, and the latter
is worthless unenvironed by the first
two. Life nor liberty should be taxed,
but property Of a right ought to be,
and incomes from it, as also from
great emoluments, should be, and this
on general principles, and outside of
all constitutional bubbles and techni-
cal objections urged by the rich, to
whom greater degree of protection
is accorded than to the poor. 1t is a
question which should rise superior to
party politics. It should be a constitu-
tional policy. If only the rich were ELI
gible to the ranks there would be few
volunteers in any war, either for de-
fence of country or of principle. And
this is no Islander on the rich, for be-
ing human they would not sacrifice
comfort for hardships, nor seccrity for
desperate chances against exposure,
disease and bullets. Let the oppulent
stay at home in safety, and do the
Dragging If they prefer, but make them
''whack up their full share Of the ex-
pense, not as individuals, but as rep
resentatives of the great property and
other values which they are secured in.
