YOU BE THE JUDGE

Politicians like individuals and ma
tions, are at times, called upon to de.
fend their actions, and as the work Of
my office will not permit me to take the
time to make a personal canvass Of
the county in order that | might at
tempt to defend the action of the
Board of Equalization for the year
1917, am going to thank you very
kindly, Mr.. Editor, to give me a small
space in your paper for that purpose.
Rumor has it that the Board Of
Equalization, of which am member,
In the year 1917 lowered the timber
assessment 1870 below any other
class of property in the County. 1t
| is true that the Timber was reduced
| 1870 at that time, and 1t is likewise
true that during the years between
| 1906 and 1917 farms OF the County
had been increased, in assessment.

have no fault to find with the Asses
sor therefor, and when we reduce the
| timber assessment. 1t was with the
| full belief that 1t was yet above any
other class of property. AS to wheth-
er we did right or not, will submit
the following figures: The M of

$4,000. 1t will be seen that they
sold for just little more than $3.50
above the assessed valuation. The
above is timber lands.

We will invite any doubling party to

A CHALLENGE

Office OF Assessor, Lincoln County,
A. G. Schwartz, Assessor,
Toledo, Oregon. Oct. 11th, 1920.
Mr.. Ed. Stoker,
Newport, Greg.
Dear Sir and Friend:
From reports coming to me, from
throughout our county, ] understand
that you as a candidate for the office
of County Assessor are basing your
campaign on "a fair and d,equal assess.
ment Of all the different classifcations
of land" Which classes would ma
,turally include farming land, non
farming land. and timber land.
| also understand that 1t is your con-
,tention that at present and for some
time past that our timber land has
not been assessed on an equal basis
with other classifications, the infer
ence being that the timber land is as
sessed on lower valuation than other
property
During my term in Office have
given this matter Of assessment of the
different kinds Of land diligent study.
II stand ready to defend the past as
sessment, and to state publicly the
policy that shall pursue II reelected
at the coming election. In contradic-
ton Of your contention that timber
land is assessed at lower valuation
than farming land contend that it is
assessed at from so to 20 per cent
higher than farming land, and the
records will bear me out in this state
ment
Our conflicting claims are confusing
to voters. In order that they may
have an opportunity to judge which of
us is right. | hereby challenge you to
a public debate of these issues, said
debate to be held in two or more places
in the County, the first to be held in
Newport the evening of Oct. 22nd, and
the second in Waldport the evening of
Oct. 23rd.
Kindly answer and advise me &C.
l;cordingly, am

A LETTER

Office OF Assessor, Lincoln County
A. G. Schwartz, Assessor
Toledo, Oregon, Oct. 18th, 1920
Mr.. F. N. Hayden,
Toledo, Greg.
Dear Mr. Hayden:
Will you kindly give space for the
following in your paper, and thanking
you for same.
TO THE VOTERS OF =
LINCOLN COUNTY
Where as the assessment work that
! have done in this Office during my
four year term have at times been
criticized in different parts of our
county, from the stand point, that |
have at different times reduced the
valuation of timber land and added
1t to the farming and other lands, !
Will bear out my statements herein.
During the year 1917, when the
board of equalization was in session,
several Of the different timber ow.,
ers of our county appeared and proved
to the board where as ! had the tim.
Der assessed on a much higher per
centage than what other land was as
seSsed at. They asked for reduc.
tion Of Is per cent on all the timber
land which was owned by the small
individual owner up to and including
the large corporations and companies
After the board had given this matter
considerable thought and study they
decided to reduce all timber valua
tions lying within the Siletz and va
chats districts, the small amount OF
10 per cent, which left timber valua
tions about so per cent higher than
other land:
Since that time the timber has been
assessed the same, likewise with the
other land, with the exception of this
years work, when | raised the valua
ations Of farming and non farming
land on the basis of 20 per cent, and
timber lands Chat had been reduced
by the 1917 board Of equalization) or
the basis Of 80 per cent.
| am making these correct asser
tions at this time to correct all false
and misleading reports that have beer
circulated in various parts of oul
county, pertaining to Lincoln County
assessments. ...--.--..- @
Very truly yours,
A. G. Schwartz,
County Assessor.

"HE KEPT US OUT OF WAR"

Sad, sad the bitter wall.
Governor Cox the Democratic stand
ard bearer in his opening speech at
Portland, Oregon, said, Let us forget
politics." Oh bunk, rot. This is the
old Nonpartisian Democratic minority
stuff that they have pulled off in Ore
gon for twenty-five years and have
fooled the people into electing Demo
Gratis in state that is fifty thousand
majority. But he kept us out OF
war" Republicans, don't fall for this
stuff.
Don't fall for Democratic preelec-
tion bunk. The Democratic admins
tration bought thirteen thousand
acres of spruce timber land in Lincoln
County and built twenty-six miles OF
railroad and railroad ferry taking
nearly million dollars off our tax
rolls, when they could have bought
better spruce timber and for less
money within six miles Of the va
quina bay and railroad transporta-
tion. But he kept US out Of War"

REMEDY FOR SALMON
POISONING
(Farm Bureau News)

r. e. Chandler, Of Siletz, reports
the following as being successful In
curing salmoned dogs. For animals
one year old of over give four ounces
each of Hydrogen Peroxide and Cas-
tor Oil. This makes approximately a
teacupful of the mixture. The dog will
ordinarily recover within 80 minutes
after treatment. For pups or small
dogs the dose should be given in pro-
portion to the weight. For 8 to 4
months old pups one half teacupful
should be sufficient. We would be
glad to hear reports from any who use
this treatment. 1t is reported also
that this is successful in treating
strychnine poisoning OF dogs.
