JONES DECLINES

Compensation Attached to

County Assessor F. f. Jones is the
. bnly eligible county officer who fail
ed to file for reelection. He was
willing to serve the county another
Serm but was not inclined to make a
tight for the nomipation for the very
good reason that the position is not
worth it. The work of the assessor
OF Chehalis county has grown much
faster than the compensation, 1925 a
month, and Mr.. Jones very wisely de-
cided that, at his time of life, the
Job was not worth scrapping for.
An idea seems to prevail that the
exposures of tax assessment frauds
smade by the Herald reflected upon
The administration of Mr. Jones, which
is untrue. Real estate is assessed
but once in two years. and that of
the present year is the first made
by Mr.. Jones, and is not yet subject
TO criticism. That of 1910 was made
by his predecessor, and the values of
1910 were unaltered in 1911 unless
unless there was some specific rea-
son for such alteration.
The attitude taken by Mr. Jones
places him in an excellent position on
the board of equalization to insist IN.

The Herald is pleased at the decis.
lon of Assessor Jones for the sole rea.
son that his elimination clears the
way for the candidate endorsed by
the Taxpayers League, Robert A.
Wiley, of Aberdeen. This league
which is being organized in every
voting precinct in the county, is de.
termined to abolish the old system
Of tax privilege in Chehals county
and believes that in order to do so
it is best to have none but those
pledged to a square deal for all con.
nected with the taxing authority OF
the county.
With that object in view. Mr. Wiley
was urged to become a candidate foI
assessor, Phil S. Locke and William
K. Campbell for county commission.
ers. This endorsement does not nee
essarily express dissatisfaction with
all the tax officials now in office. but
there is an unanimity of opinion in
the league that the tax lodging evil
IS SO deep-rooted in Chehalis county
that its abolition will be best and
more quickly performed by new mer

Why Bruises Become Black and Blue

Why Bruises Become Black and Blue
The color of blood is due chiefly to
iron in the little blood cells. When
the iron is kept in these little blood
cells. which are living and travelling
around in the blood vessels, the color
is red. Hit the skin hard enough to
break some of the little blood vessels
beneath the surface and the little red
cells escape from the injured blood
vessels, wander about for awhile in
the tissues and die When they die
the iron that made them red before
then changes to black and blue color
ing. After awhile this iron is taken up
by the glands called the lymphatics
and made over again into nice red cells.
The iron is taken up very much more
quickly by the lymphatics If the black
and blue spot is rubbed and massaged
