suit was the reelection of the old mem.

How Taxes Run Up.

AS a sample of how taxes accumulate
on property that has been sold to the
state on account of delinquent taxes,
we may mention that a property holder
this week appeared in Jackso for the
purpose of redeeming his holdings. He
was unaware of the status of the mat
ter until his attention was called to it
by the publication in the Ledger. His
taxes for 1894 might have been settled
for something over 50. 1t cost him this
week, with penalties. interests and
other costs, over $40 to get the title
clear on the records in his own name.
1t is great mistake for any property
holder to imagine that he can save
money by allowing his property to be
sold and decided to the state, under the
impression that assessment of the prop
erty ceases after it passes to the state.
State property cannot be legally assess
ed; but the penalties and costs on de-
linquent property are so gagged that
no matter when the original holder re-
deems, it will cost him more than if he
had paid his taxes regularly every
year as they became due. Some who
have been inquiring about redeeming
delinquent property this week are
amazed at the doubling up process, and
are almost inclined to let the state keep
the property rather than put up the
sum necessary to redeem. And there
are hundreds of pieces of property in
Amador county today, the title of
which has passed to the state, and a
good deal of it is good property, and
worth many times over the price of
redemption.

JOHN F. DAVIS CODE COMMIS-
SIONER.

Judge John F. Davis, the we'll
known attorney of Jackson, was ap-
pointed code commissioner by gov
ernor Pardee last Wednesday. The
contest for this Office has been very
spirited. Senator Selvage of Hum
boldt was after the place. He Was
member of the last legislature, and
was instrumental in abolishing the
old code commission of three per-
sons, and passing the new bill pro-
viding for one commissioner. It is
said he had his eye on the berth from
the outset. If this be so, his loss of
the fight is Just rebuke to the pol
icy of shaping legislation from mo-
tives of self interest The appoint
ment of Judge Davis will be greeted
with satisfaction by his host of
friends in this county. The appoint
ment carries a salary of $500 per
month, with 800 per month for
clerk and Office expenses.

The Prehistoric Gold find.

There's sometime whispered story
Mongst our Indians, seldom told
10 the white man or his children,
Which concerns this land of gold.
Long ago, so runs the legend.
When Sequoia's groves were young,
Game people strangely singing,
In strange, unmeaning tongue.
Seeing on the Indians armlet,
Nuggets bright of wondrouS size.
Told they of their mighty chieftain,
WlseSt man of all the wise.
Searched they on the snow-capped mountaiu
And the shining river sand;
Delved within the rock ribbed BOSOM
OF the Indians happy land,
Found they gold in such abundance,
That their backs bent meath it's weight,
AS they filed in long procession,
Toward the sunsets golden gate
For King Solomon had sent them,
To his builders gold to bring
That his temple might be worthy,
OF his Lord, his God his King
Back they toiled DER wastes of water
Never crossed by man before
safe at last, they heaped their treasure,
On the Galileean shore.
Wondering goldsmiths deftly wrought it,
In a veil most wondrouS fair;
Hung 1t in that beauteous temple
Solomon'S far-famed house of PRAYER
Even thus, at the crucifixion
California did her part,
For that golden veil was riven,
When they pierced our Savior's heart.

country of his hateful presence is

almost every internal or external
imbroglio has been to wipe off a
goodly strip of territory from the

cess of attrition has earned for this
Musselman power the title of the

tack of sickness is now on in the in

shorn and contracted as compared
with the fullness of its power, the
dominions Of the Turk embrace some
of the fairest and most fertile sec
tions of Europe. They are compara-
tive deserts now: they would bloom
like garden spots under favorable
conditions. Moreover, the most
commanding position from a COM
mercial and naval viewpoint is the
seat of Turkish authority on the
Bosphorus, Constantinople. That
Turkey has maintained its foothold
in Europe so long is due to the dan
ger of upsetting the balance of pow
er in the distribution of these covet-
ed points of vantage rather than to
any consideration for the 7decaying
nation itself, 1t is evident, however,
that the issue must be met sooner
or later The Turk is out of his
element where he now is. Western
civilization demands that he retire
to his native home in Asia, where
the people are less restive under his
ydespotic ways. The finger of des-
tiny seems to indicate that his re-
tirement cannot be much longer de-
layed.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inAamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to it's
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth

THE INTOLERABLE TURK.

The insufferable Turk is the source
of more trouble and apprehension in
Europe than all other nations com
bined. More than 500 years have
elapsed since he first planted him
self upon the soil of Europe, and the
people to-day are not one whit more
reconciled to his presence than they
were at the beginning Like the
Chinese in America, there is no pos
sibiity of any assimilation of the
Turk to the ways of the western
nations. He belongs to the east and
not to the west. His oriental in
stincts and methods have clung to
him through the centuries of his
contact with western civilization.
He looks down upon other people
as Christian dogs, believes he be-
longs to a superior type of mankind.
Assimilation from his standpoint
means degradation-a step from the
higher to the lower plane. He fast
ened himself upon Europe as a con-
queror. 1t is only natural that he
should look down upon the subiu-
gated people as his interiors in
every way. The Turkish yoke has
never been otherwise than CALLING
and oppressive to Europeans. The
Turk is indolent. To earn his living
by manual labor is not according to
his tastes or religion. His ambition
is to live in affiuence at the expense
OF others. An army of toll -gatherers
-legalized plunderers we might say
is quartered upon the christian
communities; and eat up the sub
stance of the inhabitants as COM
pletely as a swarm of locusts re-
duces garden to a wilderness. AS
a result, revolts against Turkish
domination are frequent. The desire
to throw off the yoke, and rid the

FRIDAY. OCTOBER 9. 1908
AN IRREsoLuTE RESOLUTION.

The members of the board of
supervisors cane together this week
under peculiar conditions. At their
last meeting they had resoluted on
the justices salary case. At the re-
quest of the attorney for the justices
and constables who are trying to
collect salaries under law passed
during their term of Office, in ap-
parent conflict with the spirit and
letter of the state constitution, they
gave notice to all parties concerned
that they would not allow any claims
against Amador county arising out
of the appeal of the salary case to
the supreme court The district at
torney-the sworn counselor of all
county officials on all legal PROPOSE
tions-was unceremoniously brushed
aside for the time being, and the ad-
vice of the opposing counsel in suit
instituted against Amador county
was taken, resulting in the passage
of the afore mentioned resolution of
intention to repudiate. The resolu-
tion was born out of due time" Tt
was never intended for anything else
than scarecrow. 1t has proved a
miserable failure in this respect. 1t
has scared no one. All of our CO.
temporaries greeted the passage of
this estoppei resolution with an
thems of approval. 1t was master
piece of strategy, that promised to
unlock the doors of the county treas
ury to the salary grabbers without
further ado with the courts. Never
theless, the appeal side of the con-
troversv went along as though
nothing had happened. In the pro-
ceedings of the board published in
this issue it will be noted that three
claims relating to the appeal of the
Justices salary case were allowed.
One for typewriting amounting to
$50; another for printing the tran
script on appeal, amounting to $25;
the other for SO for filing the tran
script in the supreme court. These
claims were plainly endorsed, showing
their connection with the case on ap-
peal. This was done for the purpose
of guarding against any possibility
of their being allowed without know
ledge of their character. These bills
were passed for payment, and en-
dorsed by the chairman without
word of comment. They were pass
ed upon by the district attorney as
legal claims against the county, and
not a murmur of protest was raised
against their payment. In thus act
ing the Ledger believes the super
visors did the right thing. 1t is
true, their act is sadly outsof unison
with the ill-judged resolution passed
at their previous meeting. But that
mistake they cannot now undo. And
they have done all that they are able
to do to rectify that bf0hder by re-
fusing to tread in the path they were
led to map out for themselves. We
presume our contemporaries will now
with one accord proceed to laud this
latest exhibition as another notable
example OF doing the right thing at
the right time. They certainly ought
to be equally capable with the coun-
ty managers in doing the change
about act.
