"Swope is Responsihle." I"

Under the above title the Reporter, a
Democratic publication, INDUCES in
some of the rankest nonsense and po.
litical rot imaginable. 1t attempts to
show that Mr.. Swope irresponsible for
everything the County Court has done
during the last four years, because he
mas been acting as deputy district at
torney for this county during that time.
Now. as matter Of fact, Mr.. Swope
has had absolutely nothing to do with
the acts of the County Court, except
when legal proposition has been pre-
sented to him for an opinion, and be-
yond this he has never gone; as a
matter of fact, he could not 90 further.
AS to whether a thing should be done
or not, a road laid out or not, or a par
ticular route be followed or not, he
had no authority whatever, this being
exclusively for the County Court
The county has had four years of Mr..
Stewart as County Judge, and during
that time the county ran deeper and
deeper into debt each year OF his term,
10 the tune Of over 5000 per annum.
This is good business, according to the
Reporters way of figuring; but since
stewart went out of Office the debt of
the county has decreased annually over
$500. This is poor business, accord
Ing to the Reporters way of figuring.
According to his way of figuring, we
should keep running deeper into debt
each year, and then we would have a
business administration.
When Stewart was in Office hundreds
OF dollars OF the county's money we're
thrown away on surveying out pro-
posed county roads where no road was
ever established. Take the .Depr e.
Siletz road, for instance, which was
to terminate on the SlletZ river near
i,oots. Here the road was surveyed,
at an expense of SIP, the reports of
surveyor and viewers accepted-and
here the matter ended, without an order
declaring the same public highway
hence it never became a county road
This is only an example of other cases
where the peoples money was wasted
without one cent of return.
The Reporter talks of Stewart leav-
ing good bridges scattered all over the
county, when, as a matter OF fact, the
county contained many rotten bridges
and bad roads. People who are inter
ested do not forget in four years.
Mr.. Swope stands pledged to an
economical administration of county
affairs and the permanent Improvement
OF county roads. No mistake will be
made by voting for him for County
Judge on the 4th day of June.

Right under the Democratic ticket
this week the Reporter has lengthy
spiel against "poitics in county offices. ."
That is also funny. II there is no pol
itics in the game, why doesn't 1t
support some Socialist or Republican
in the list of candidates? Is it possible
that all the good men in Lincoln county
are Democrats? This is queer bait to
toss before Republican and Socialist
voters How many will swallow it,
Fact is, the Reporter is fighting strictly
as Democrat. 1t wants Democrats in
all the offices. and is ready to make
any kind OF wild statement against a
Republican candidate. 1t has failed
however, to show where Sheriff Ross
or any one of the present county
officials has failed to properly attend
to the duties of his office. The people
are not to be misled by its slurs and
mo politics" nonsense.

Facts in the Case.

Newport, Or, May IL, 1905.
Editor LEADER:
In recent issue of the Reporter
there appeared a scurrilous article
relative to the County Court, which is
both false and villainous.
The facts of the matter referred to
are: j. X. Weatherford filed petition
asking for compromise on taxes for
the years 1900 and 1902, which had be-
come delinquent. He represented to
the Court that the land was sold for
Sl.5O per acre the year it was assessed
for $500, and asked the court TO reduce
the assessment to the cash value as
sold for. The Court did not believe it
had the authority to compromise taxes,
neither have they ever done so, bat to
make sure, Judge Brown referred the
matter to the Attorney General and the
following is his reply:
OFFICE OF
A. NJ. CRAWFORD
ATTORNEY GENERAL
SALEM, OREGON
Hon. c. NJ. Brown, County Judge.
Your favor of the I4th instant has been
under consideration by this Office for
several days, and in reply / beg to say
that | have been unable to find any law
OF tins state, or other authority giving
the County Court right to accept pay
ment OF less amount of taxes than the
amount entered on the tax roll. While
the Supreme Court has held in some
cases that the County Court has right
to compromise claims against the county.
the validity of which are doubtful, | am
unable to find that the county has the
right to reduce the valuation of property
after the roll has been equalized by the
board OF equalization or the County
Court, sitting as such.
10 accept payment of taxes in such an
amount as the Court deems to be the tax
on fair valuation of the property where
1t appears to have been overvalued would
be the same as reducing the valuation
and this have been unable TO find anv
authority for either in the statutes or
court decisions.
Therefore, l am lead to believe that
such proceedings would be unauthorized.
Where property is assessed twice or
there is mistake in the description, or
other such error, the Sheriff is author
lzed to make the correction and take
credit therefor in his settlement with the
County Treasurer, but this does not seen
to cover the case which you have stated.
Very respectfully yours,
A. NJ. CRAWFORD,
Attorney General.
Now, when the Court meets in June,
to the great surprise of the Reporter,
the petition OF the corporation will be
turned down. This is another evidence
of the carefulness OF the present Court
and an additional reason why the tax.
payers should vote to continue Com.
missioner King in office.

The vegetable rock builders are found
In the ooze which covers the marine
plants drawn up from the bottom Of
the sea. AS shown by the microscope,
they are seen to consist of zigzag links
or boxes, attached at their corners.
These vegetable forms, so minute as to
be invisible to the human eye, have
the power Of ~secreting the elements
of flint or silica from the water In
which they live. They are very curl
ously marked. and there are many va
fieties of them. 1t will be seen that In
their structure the lines of beauty have
not been forgotten. The city Of Ber-
lin was built on an immense bed of the
remains of these minute vegetable
forms, and the unstable foundations Of
the houses Is due to this fact. They
are 70 small that one of them is but
the seventy-milliontb part of a grain.
They increase by Subdivision, one be.
ing capable of increasing to a million
by this process In tw~enty-four hours.
Their method of building is simply by
living and then dying and leaving their
f1inty skeletons to form the solid rock.
They block up rivers, give the green
tinge to the Arctic ocean, form a white
stone which has been found in masses
500 miles long and 800 feet thick, and
the clouds Of dust which are blown
from the desert are made up of them
