COLLECT THE TAX
ASSESSOR STRAIN SAYS COUN-
TY NEEDS 0. R. & N. MONEY.
School Districts are Badly in Need of
Money for Improvements o.
r. & N. Taxes not Paid.

Owing to the failure of the o. r. &
N. to pay its taxes for last year, leading
to litigation and the prospect for still
further delay, many Of the school dis
tricts are unable to settle for number
of improvements which have been made,
and others contemplating improvements
are unable to begin work
County Assessor Strain is writing tho
assessment roll for this year and expects
to have it in readiness by the time the
board of equalization meets, the last
Monday in August. In about ten days
he will reach the railroad assessment for
this year, which presents to him seri-
Gus problem. The indecision shown in
forcing the matter of railway taxes to an
issue has placed him in position where
he hardly knows what to do, says the
East Oregonian.
In view of the circumstances the as
SCISSOR desires the county court to take
action Immediately. The plan proposed
by him is to employ competent lawyer
to devote his time to the railway case
and bring out settlement of the diff
Guilty as soon as possible.
ALI told, the taxes of the O. r. & N.
for last year amounted to $4,000. The
previous year they were $4,000. Mr..
Strain assessed the road on a basis of
$4,000 to the mile. One hundred and
sixty-seven miles of the line lie in this
county.

Tammany! "Blue-Eyed Billy Sheehan"

Tammany! "Blue-Eyed Billy Sheehan''
is Judge Parker's friend and nelghbor
at Rosemount. To him Parker addressed
his famous telegram at the st. Louis
convention Daily Judge Parker is sur
rounded by the Sheehans, OBriens and
the McDonalds of Tammany. There is
no hiding from an argus-eyed people, and
the best proof Of Judge Parkers lack
of knowledge of the American people is
that he does not know that his associa-
ton with Tammany will not be excused
or condoncd by them. In New York,
he possibly argues, Tammany is endur-
ed, with restiveness. it is true, but still
endured. Outside of New York this is
not true, but Judge Parker does not
know the true temper of the American
people outside of New York. How
should be!

an enigma. Put forth by the cunning
hand of David B. Hill, supported by

AWKWARD QUESTIONS.

When the gold message Of Alton B.
Parker reached the Democratic conven-
ton at st. Louis William j. Bryan sug-
gested that the currency views of Mr..
Parker ought to be more explicitly de-
fined in some detail, and that the con-
vcntion therefore should prepare a list
of questions connected with various
phases of the currency issue for the can
didate to answer, but Master of Cere-
monies Williams rushed to Parker's de-
Tense with the statement that the can
ddate should not be asked to answer "a
LOT OF FOOLISH QUESTIONS"
This was the same public be DID,
attitude that arrogant corpora tons used
to take in refusing to answer questions
of pertinent interest to their stockhod-
ers or to the general public, until the
Republican party remedied matters by
passing law compelling publicity, and
especially established the Bureau OF
Commerce and Labor to secure it,

convention at St. Louis. and in fact all
American voters of whatever pontical

country from possible misunderstanding
as to financial views which might not

their policy really is.

Democratic State committee said. the
night before the election: "We feel that

sure indication that the national election

Well, the Democratic manager himself
made the estimate. He counted the
chances of the Democratic party in the
present campaign as might be indicated
by the September vote in his own State.
Representing his party, he made the
estimate and the result has been appall-
ing-for the Democrats-the Republican
plurality being 31,5OO. There has been

Constitutional Club in behalf of Judge
Parker, gives the following reasons for
his support Of President Roosevelt:
president Roosevelt appeals favor
ably to me because his administration
has given TO the country u progressive
and liberal management of its affairs.
Through its agency the United States
has received the valuable privileges re-
lating to the construction of the Panama
canal, privileges which would not, and
could not, have been acquired but for
the firm and determined position quickly
taken by the President. Furthermore,
the present method of dealing with the
Philippine question seems to me to be
the only practical solution of that
difficult problem"
Wisconsin Man Changes.
Daniel Buchanan, of Chippewa Falls,
Wis, one of the leading and best known
Democrats in Northern Wisconsin, has
bolted Parker and Davis and announced
his purpose Of supporting Roosevelt and

ticket and took an active part in poll

period of Judge Parker's life:

politics in New York is hard and iron

no principle save the principle Of success.
This is as true of country as of town, as
true of the cornfields as of Tammany Hall.
Victory is the only virtue, defeat tile only
