GOOD MEN NEEDED.
THE ONLY WAY TO RID OURSELVES
OF EXCESSIVE TAXATION Is TO
ELECT MEN
PLEDGED FOR REFORM
AND ECONOMY IN OFFICE

We believe that large majority OF
our readers will agree with us that the
time has come when the residents
must insist that the affairs OF this town
shall be carried on in an economical
manner. No town or community can
live with an eleven per cent taxation
hanging over them. No new enter
prise can be expected to start up with
such a prospect before them, and those
already here can not stand the drain
for any length of time. No matter
what the other inducements may be,
how good the climate and soil may be,
or on what easy terms home may be
secured, we can not expect settlers to
come here and help develop the coun-
try. They will not do it. No man will
Knowingly invest in property in any
community in which the taxes are
bound to eat up all the profits. 1t the
present state of affairs are continued
we can soon expect to see our beautiful
little city deserted. The people who
have labored so hard, and pinched and
saved to secure their little home. cam
not go on forever buying their places
over again each year in taxes. Sooner
than do this they will abandon every
thing and go to some place where they
will not see their hard-earned money
go to enrich favored few.
We believe that the majority of our
citizens are heartily tired of seeing
their hard-earned money going into
the pockets of the favored few. and
seeing those few enjoying all the COM
forts and Injuries which money can
buy, while they have a hard struggle.
to make both ends meet, and that they
are ready to rise in their might and
hurl the leeches who have been suck
ing the life blood out of our town and
county, out of power.
Every one at all conversant with the
facts, know that the affairs of the town
could be carried on at less than one
half the cost to the taxpayers that
they were this year, and the time has
come when the most rigid economy
should be practiced. All efforts
should be- concentrated to this end.
No hoodling should be permitted and
no expense entailed upon the town
that can be avoided. The voters at
our coming town meeting should make
no appropriations except those that
are absolutely necessary, and they
should elect board pledged to carry
out their wishes in this matter.
The most important Office, and the
one that the most care should be taken
in filling, is that of chairman. For
this Office man should be selected
who has the true interests of the town
at heart, man who fully realizes that
the vampire which is eating the heart
out of our community, is high taxes,
and will take every means in his power
to kill it. He should not only be a
man of strong convictions on this sub
iect, but he should have the courage of
his convictions, should be man of
backbone. He should be man who
has good knowledge of town and
county affairs and who would not be

if thousand dollars is enough for gen.
eral fund, and highway none. The
law provides way to raise fund II II
becomes necessary. What / would
like to see is mill-tax for highways
and let parties work out same or pay In
cash to the town treasurer. AS they
now do cut the town up into road dis
tricts and let each district elect it's own
overseer of highways. In that way
the money would go where it belongs
and each district could look after it
self. The town board would then be,
as it is now, commissioner of highways.
The Town Clerks salary should be
cut to $4,000, which with the other
perquisites of the office, would be lib
eral, and far in excess of what it would
bring if the work could be let to the
lowest responsible bidder. He should
be ready at any time to inform the
board as to the amounts on hand in the
different appropriations, and when
same is exhausted to refuse to draw or
ders on that fund.
The services of town attorney could
be omitted entirely. WHAT'S the use
of employing an attorney and giving
him retainer We are we'll repre-
scented here with able counsel and
there is no question that if the town
needed an attorney for anything any
one of themawonld take the job. And
again, we are paying too much for as
SCISSOR. What is the use Of going over
lanes that has been looked and re-
looked? The only change yearly is
forest fires and the lumbermen. An
assessor could find all the choppings in
two weeks, and if he should happen to
get forty acres marked timber that was
cut, the board of review would mighty
soon hear of it at their session. The
salary paid assessor can be reduced ov-
err one-half and the expenses of the
board of review can be lowered. Have
an understanding with the assessor
and have him place proper valuations
and it would simplify matters and
would shorten the time by one-half.
And again, what in the name of COM
mon sense do we want of two police
men? I have no fault to find with the
officers now serving, but it seems to me
that all we want isa night police. We
elect each year constables, and after
their names appear on the ticket no
one knows them officially. We have
also sheriff and deputy sheriff, one
or both are in town always, with few
exceptions. And why have day po-
lice? The salaries paid to our police
are sufficient and about same paid in
other places. In former years the sal
aries and extras paid police have
amounted to over 5000 per. month.
Our justices should use caution in is
suing warrants and think of the ex-
pense to the county, as well as OF their
personal fees: although I must say for
our justices, that they have done
mighty we'll for the past year as COM
pared with our neighbors from the
west.
We have things in good shape and
there is no re ason for our taxes in fu-
ture to exceed three or four per cent
at the highest, which can be reduced
yearly, and using the territory lately
acquired, as a criterion. We have all
we want in that line and had ought to
be satisfied.

SUCCEEDED AFTER ALL
Jack Wallace's Attempt at Suicide Was
Not the Expected Failure

Jack Wallace, the eX-convict, who took
morphine with suicidal intent Sunday
night at Dupee's lodging house 321 East
Second street, died at GIG o'clock yester-
day morning at the receiving hospital. His
death was sudden and unexpected, in spite
Of the fact that he had taken poison. When
he was brought to the hospital at midnight
DR.. Hagan and the hospital attendants
worked with him for nearly three hours.
He was restored to consciousness and told
who and what he was. He even joked
with those about him, his manner ndi-
eating that he was a man of jovial dis
position. DIR. Hagan left the hospital at
o'clock, nstructing the attendants to
walk the patient, and under no circum-
stances to allow him to go to sleep. He
was kept awake and after being walked
up and down the hospital hallway for an
hour he was allowed to rest. This was re-
peated several times. About o'clock he
was allowed to seat himself on a bench,
two of the attendants remaining at his
side. Suddenly he threw back his head
and expired. His death was due to a sud-
den attack of heart failure, caused by the
shock incident to the effect of the poison.
The body was removed to Kregelo &
Bresees undertaking establishment, where
the inquest will be held tomorrow morning
at 10 o'clock. The deceased had relatives
in San Jose, where he resided before COM
ing to this city.

Mabel Anderson was arrested by Police
Sergeant Smith for soliciting on Sunday
night. She was locked up in the city jail,
and, under Instructions of the sergeant.
bail was refused yesterday Rush 4 Davis
Immediately sued out writ of habeas
corpus before Judge Smith, alleging that
Mabel was Illegally detained in the city
prison, and 1t was made returnable at noon.
There was neither complaint nor warrant
for the detention of the woman but peti-
TONERS did not lay as much stress on tina
as on the right which the police arrogated
to themselves of OBTAINING people in jail
Tor misdemeanors and refusing to accept
cash bail for their appearance, notwith-
standing that there is a list in the police
clerks office enumerating the offenses for
which cash bail may be taken by the de-
partment and the amount that should be
demanded.
Judge Smith said that taking into con-
sideration the short time which had
elapsed since the womans arrest he
would not order her unconditional re-
lease but he made an order releasing her
on S25 cash bail Mabel Anderson an
peared before Justice Morrison in the af-
ternoon and pleaded not guilty.

the evidence the matter was ordered sub
