COUNTY POLITICS.

The following from the Portland
Evening Jonrnal contains broad
hint for every voter in every county
in Oregon:
The duty OF the elector IS to purify his
local government, place in public position
men who wiIlempIoy business methods
in the management Of public affairs, and
will not forever look upon public office
as private snap.
Especially sh0nId the methOdsof busi-
ness men prevail at the court house of
tins county
There should be no politics in these
positi ms.
The professional politician and
the CRATER may be found in every
political party OH earth and they
very often control the party ma
chinery to such an extent as to Sc
cure their own nomination year af-
ter year. 1t remains for the voters
TO say whether their election is to
follow. Is it the part of wisdom
for the voters Of any party to stay
50 closely within party lines in To-
cal politics as to continue in Office,
year after year men who have learn
ed through long usage to look upon
public office as a private snap?"
BY all means no. The intelligent
voter will scan the the lists ofnom-
inees on beth tickets with critical
eye and will select as his choice the
men whom he honestly believes will
give the county the best service and
the most modern, intelligent and
honestly administered government
The man who demands an office as
a sort Of a divine right or connives
and schemes to hold stall at the
public crib is a mighty good man to
leave at home. Such men may
possess wonderful capabilities for
success ID privatelife. Who knows?

MARINERS "FIGGERS'
The big array of tabulated "tig-
gers from Judge Mariners pen,
published IN recent issue of the
Arlington Record asa defense or
extenuaiion Of the judges county
financial policy, is as confusing to
the average mind as it was doubt
IS intended to be. After a careful
reading Of the statement this writer
has to confess that. be has gained
no information Of importance Ia its
bearing on the issues of the present
campaign which has not already
been set forth in the GLnBE The
only question which has been rails
ed, in this connection is whether
the county is in good tinancialcon
dition today after II wears of the
Judges management ofcounty finau
ces. The tabulated statement and
the large mass ofother unimportant
deductions which appear to have
been incorporated in the judges
statement for the purpose ofcoafus-
ing the voters and covering the real
issues may be passed over. The
judge quotes correctly from the
last semi-annual statement when
he says that the total liabilities of
the county are S3S,02512 and the
total resources $24, 1880 but when
he farther says leaving net liabih-
ties of IS, S,250l2 an amount little
larger than the State tax of $S,004
which has been paid from current
collections recently he seems to be
by inference, attempting to create
a false impression. Does he mean
to infer that if it had not been for
having to pay the state tax the
connty would be within $246.i2 of
being out of debt? What fine f.
nancial condition the county would
be in, even under Judge Mariners
management, if we did not have to
pay any taxes. The real point at
issue-which, by the way. the judge
ignores entirely-is this: The
county Is payiag interest on S5l,oe5.Iz IN
outstanding eernty spayvunts 80 that is IN reali-
~, The attuaf county debt.
Resources in the shape Of uneol-
lected taxes are dead resources and
should not be considered in this
connection until they are collected
and turned in to the county treas
ury.
The Judge also says: 1T does not
take any careful financing to get a
county entirely out Of debt"
Does he mean by that that it
does take careful financing to pile
up debt of $4,000 on little coun-
ty like Gillian, with nothingin the
world to show for it but some half
made roads.
Perhaps it also requires careful
financing" to allow almost $4,000
delinquent taxes to pile up without
any effort being made to collect
them. If so Judge Mariner and
Sheriff Wilcox have proven them
selves bowling successes as careful
financers. 1t will be noticed that
the judge is as careful not to say a
word that will reflect on Mr.. Wilcox !
in the matter as he is not
to say anything that will re-
fleet on Mr.. Mariner. Why is that
do you ask? The answer is not far
TO seek. That is simply an effect of
ring politics and one of the methods
Of ring politicians. Nothing else.

b BCLLD0Sg.9G A.aD fsLSE.

Mr., Wilcox and his friends have
made no attempt to publicly deny
the statement made IN this paper
last week relative to his neglect of
duty in the matter of collecting
taxes. He has made no attempt
to justify his official record as sher-
i'll, He has, instead, resorted to a
campaign OF bulldozing and false
hood directed against the editor OF
this paper, He has thre atened to
ruin the GLoBE financially aud has
stated that our charge against his
official record would not hurt him
ifhe could get to see the people
and explain the matter" The ex-
PLANTATION he aud his friends offer rs
that Pat6son is opposing him be-
cause Pattsion wanted the nomina-
ton for county clerk. In cireulat-
ling this story Mr. Wilcox and his
heelers are simply circulating a
point blank lie, Every delegate in
the last democratic county
convention knows that Pattison's
name was not before the conventions.
Eor caucus for any nomination and
every democrat who discussed the
question of nominations with Patti
son knows that he stated, on all oc-
casions, when the question came up,
that he was not an aspiraut for and
wouldaot accept underany eircum-
stances any nomination. We chal
lenge Mr. Wilcox to produce a sin
gle democrat who will state that
Pattison in any way sought the
nomination for clerk or any other
place on the ticket.
The statements also being made
to democrats that Pattison has gone
over to the republicans because he
is opposing Mr. Wilcox In the
name of God does Wilcox constitute
the entire democratic party in Gill
am county? Can not an honest
democrat oppose his election with
out being read out of the party2
Is he a god that we must fall down
and worship him? Personally we
his nomination because of
his official and political record, Be
cause we believed that in the past
he has prostituted his Office in the
interest of his future political am
bitions and because we believed
that he has, when the occasion
arose, sacrificed the entire ticket to
increase his own nlajorities. We
are now opposing his election by
showing up his official record be-
cause we believe it is the plain du-
ty of newspaper TO give such
facts to the people in order that
they may vote intelligently. If, af-
ter being placed in possession of
these facts and in view of Mr.. Wil-
cox's utter failure to clear up his
official record, the people next Mon
day see fit to elect him the GLOBE
will not complain. 1t will have
done its duty in the interest of
good county government and is
willing to abide by the consequences. II
majority of the people want to perpet-
uate political boss the GLOBE can stand
it as long as they can.
Mr.. Wilcox has had ample time to re-
ply and clear his record, if such thing
were possible, and knew these columns
were open to him. He has failed to do
so and the inference is that he has no
legitimate defense.

Soldiers Exemption.

THE NEW LAW GOES INTO EFFECT JULY 4.
Many inquiries are being received as
to the time that the soldiers exemptio u
law will 60 into effect. 1t will not be
effective until July 4. This makes it too
late to be of benefit to persons who are
,ehgiole to exemptions under it this
year. Thu assessment must be com.
pleted and the books in the hands of
auditors of state by May and the state
itself must proceed to equalization of
assessments the second Monday in JULY.
IL is estimated that the exemption will
not amount to $1,OOO,OOO altogether.
Some of the legislators who considered
the measure were Of the opinion that
the courts would hold it invalid for the
reason that it takes an artificial classit.
cation OF soldiers into those having
$4,000 and those not having SIS 900.
When the legislature attempted a few
years ago to exempt soldiers who were
peddlers from licenses the courts held
the statute unconstitutional because it
was class legislation. Many expect this
act to fall within the same category.
The reason for limiting the action of the
measure was 10 cut down the total
amount of property which would be ex.
empted under it.
