TAX LAWS, TAXATION AND TAXES.

There are but few things which
concern the majority of the citizens
of Mason County more than the mat
Ter relating to taxes and taxation.
1t is our purpose to discuss these
matters from time to time for the
purpose of instruction and enlight-
;ment. If the Dawson Tax Laws are
not what they should be, then every
voter, whether he be Republican
or Democrat, should favor changing
them. Great promises were made
by the Republican spell binders dur
ing the campaign as to what the
Dawson tax laws would accomplish,
and many believed what was said to
them, and having in mind that the
matter of taxation was the very thing
that effected them most, concluded
70 try the proposed change. AS a
preliminary to all this, it was enact
ed that property of all kinds be APP
praised at its true and actual value.
In many instances real estate was
doubled, but the Republican politi-
clans told the voter not to mind that
because the levy would be reduced.
Look at your tax ticket for the year
1905, and you will probably find that
it was less than the preceding year,
and look again at your tax ticket for
1909, and in most instances you will
find that your taxes have been in
creased over the preceding year. 1t
IS easy to see that property assessed
at one thousand dollars, with levy
of two dollars on the hundred, will
cause you to pay as much tax as if
your property were assessed at two
thousand dollars, with levy of one
dollar on the hundred. In this con-
-nection, too, it is important to know
what disposition Is being made of the
funds arising from the taxes that
have been collected under our pres
ent system of taxation, which taxes
so into the hands of the sheriff from
year to year. Every tax payer is
entitled to know this; he is interest
ed in it because he helped to pay it.
We are advised that the last state.
ment made by J. o. McDermitt,
Sheriff, showed balance due the
County of approximately Forty-five
Thousand Dollars. We do not know
wheather this has been paid into the
hands of the present Sheriff or not,
but if it has not it should be, or else
its equivalent turned over in the way
of County orders. 1t has been
about sixteen months since Mr..
MeDermitt's term of Office expired.
No one imagines that he would keep
FOrty-f1ye Thousand Dollars during
shat period of time and use it be-
cause that County would be deprived
of the use of this money, which
would be equivalent to Thirty-six
Hundred Dollars. which could be
used in paying off county orders, and
thereby stop the interest on that
much of the County Indebtedness.
Mr.. McDermitt would have no right
90 use the county funds in this way

REGULARS OR INSURGENTS, WHICH?

The Republican party is no longer
the solid phalanx that it was one
year ago when President Taft was
elected. There seems to be within
the party an almost equal division,
one element known as the Regulars,
and the other as the Insurgents. 1t
is equal, to if indeed it doesn't ex-
coed, the split in the party when
the great fight took place between
Blaine and Conkling, when one
element of the Republican party was
known as the Stalwarts, and the
other as the Half Breeds, and
controversy resulted in the election
of a Democratic President If you
should try to decide in your mind
which faction now predominates in
the party, you would probably con-
clude that the Regulars control the
East, while the Insurgents are the
masters of the West.
The amusing feature of the whole
situation is, the effort of each faction
to show that they want exactly what
the opposing wing of the party
wants. If there is to be real pitched
battle between the Regulars and In
surgents, we should ike to have a
score card, or bill of fare for the
Mason County Republicans, for their
guidance and instruction, so that
thew can choose between the two
evils. The differences within the
Republican party is a serious matter,
AID it means that the dominant
forces of the dominant party has de-
livered the machinery of the party
into the hands of the protected and
special interests. If the leaders of
each faction are striving for the
same thing, there would be no quar-
rel within the party that could not
easily be adjusted, especially if both
the Regulars and Insurgents had
the party interests exclusively at
heart.
Ifspeaker Cannon was represent
ing the people. then the Insurgents
did wrong in taking from him the
power he exercises; likewise, if SEN
ator Aldrich is serving the interests
of the people, Senator Lafollette is
doing his country an injury by at
lacking him as he has heretofore
done.
The Republicans of Mason County
cannot be deceived. The differences
between the Regulars and the In
sursents cannot be compromised.

At convention held not long since IN
Chicago it was urged that the increasing
lack Of farmers now assumes the proper
tons of menace 10 the United States.
Here is one small solution which viii work
out properly: There are many home-sup-
porting women in the cities and towns of
this country who are working their lives
out for mere pittance, widows with FAM
lies to rear but who are compelled to let
their children run the streets without a
mothers care, and wives, daughters and
sisters who are sole supporters of families.
Many Of these long for homes on q farm.

The Way to Cure
 All Skin Diseases
The Prescription is Simple: Purify the Blood by Using Stuart's Calcium.
Trial Packaae Sent Free.

A Trial Package Sent Free. If people only realized the utter absurdity of attempting to cure a pim- iy.--blotchy. unsightly complexion by means of the many irrational and H. logical methods employed in beauty parlOrs" and also in the boudoir, thou sands of dollars which are wasted every year-literally thrown away would be saved, and the complexion rendered clear and free from biemishes through constitutional treatment, at about one-tenth of one per cent of the cost of the fancy and exceedingly expensive local treatments"
 The idea of massa ging the cheeks. and attempting to rub in a so-called "skin-food," is the height of nonsense Nature never intended the skin to be fed from the outside, but from the in- side exclusively. and it is the blood which really feeds the skin, builds it up, and supplies it with nutriment ab- sorbed from the digestive system. There is really no such thing as "skin-food," any more than there is a 'heart-food." or ''lung-food.'' or a "brain-foOd."
 The skin is a water proof, air-proof envelope over the muscular system. and it has no power to absorb cold creams or any other medicaments when rubbed over its surface. While. of course. stean1ing the face. or mas saging' with electricity. or by hand. wiu draw the blood temporarily to the surface and produce an artificial glow. which may last half an hour or cn bat ct ing benefit. and will never cure wrin- kles, pimples. pustules. blackheads. or other facial blemishes.
 Besides. the frequent treatment of the skin in the way which beauty doctors" have-those kneading, rub biRg. cooking" methods. making the face for the time being as red as boiled lobster also have the very un- desirable effect of increasing and strengthening the hair growth on the cheeks.
 The only logical treatment in ac- quiring and maintaining perfect complexion. devoid of all blemises such as blotches, pimples, roughness. chapping. scaly patches, etc. is to go after these troubles from the inside to strike at the foundation. the origin of the complaints-and that means. in other words, to thoroughly purify the blood. by using STUART'S CALCIUM WATERS.
 These powerful little wafers as soon as taken into the system. exert their wonderful. blood-purifying effects, and they never let up for a moment. until every atom of impurity in the blood is eliminated. and. in addition to that they also build up the blood. and strengthen the circulation through the skins surface, and thus render wrIn- kles and skin blemishes impossible of existence.

THIEVES START WORK
 0N CENTRAL AVENUE
They Enter the Residence of L. M. Darby But Are Frightened
 Away.

Thieves broke into the residence of l.. M. Darby of S16 North Central av- enue, last night some time before 10 o'clock. They gained access by way of a rear screen room and ransacked the upper floor. carrying away all the jewelry and small articles they could find.
 Mir. and Mrs. Darby were out for the evening and returning rather earlier than they expected. found that the house had been entered in their ab- sence. screen door showed marks of jimmy. Nothing on the first floor had been touched, probably be- cause they returned before the bur glars had completed their job. No great loss was suffered as Mrs. Darby carried most of her more valuable jewelry with her when she went out
