The Statesman and tne Merchant.There are people in this world who

are short sighted enough to bolieTethat their interests can be best pro-

moted by grasping and clinging to allthey can get, yet, as a general thing, itwill be found, other things beingequal,that he who is most liberal, is mostsuccessful in business. It is an everlasting fact that there can be no permanent prosperity or . good feelingWhere benefits "are not reciprocal.

There are merchants as there aregreat statesmen, and there are smallmerchants as there are small politicians, and the difference between thegreat and the Bmall is very much thesame in both professions. The smallpolitician works by the day and seesonly the small opportunities before himand the small merchant simply looksfor the next dollar. The statesman, o athe other hand, is master of the situ fttion, because he understands the I r in'ciples which control events, and Che

great merchant does the same tt i ng,

His business is not a mere matte. ofbarter, but a science and an art. Hestudies the general laws of tra ile,

watches conditions,' investigates pr 5s-e- nt

needs, foresees future wants ai dadapts his business to the condition t 'of the time and places He puts asmuch brains into the work as does thestatesman.

One of the members of the eminently successful firm of A. M. Wil-liams & Co., said the other day, themore he studied life the more clearlyhe saw that it was all done on businessprinciples. Promptness, thoroughness,courage, honesty and liberality arewrought Into its- - every fibre. Theseare exactly the principles that haveproved such productive seeds forMessrs. A. M. Williams & Co., who always treat their big business from astatesman point of view.

Forethought, and .. judgment havecertainly figured In the recent buyingof their splendid spring stock ofclothing now ready for the peopleLiberality controls their underselling,and honesty rules over their "white"treatment of customers. The K. N. &

F. Co. clothing is a leading feature oftbeir's, a make .famous for style, ser-vice and satisfaction, and worn byleaders In professions, society andevery trade, from Maine to Californiaand from Canada to Texas the mostrepteablo dealers. Surely cannot thecity of The Dalles claim A M. Wil-liams '& Co. as the statesmen ofmerchants? .' -

A PROFITABLE MEETING.

j STATE TAXES. KEPTVi-BACK.

o ttnomah County Will Not Pay- - HerT xe to the State TreasoreratPresennt.Ji age X,ort.hup has decided to not

pay over ia full the state taxes of1896 which. Multnomah county "Willcollect; am ounting to about $000,000,says the regonian, and it ie understood thrt most, if not all, of thecountior , in the state will follow suitand wl thold the state taxes. .

'

Th , various counties are nearly "allin f .ebt and paying interest. Therea on for thie proposed action islar gely that, as the secretary of stateh ,s decided that he will issue no state'warrants, the state tax money wouldaccordingly only remain idle in the

j vaults of the state treasurer. Differentcounty boards have about concludedthat it would be better to use the 3tatetax for 1896 in paying up the debtswhich the counties owe and reimbursethe state from future taxes to be col-

lected after the legislature had metand passed an appropriation bill. Asthe legislature will probably not meetfor two years, the county governmentswould have the use of the state taxmoney during that period.

It has not been decided to withholdall of the money, but tb pay over tothe state treasurer enough to defray,the urgent necessities of ' the stategovernment, or abou 10 per cent oftaxes collected. Judge Gray, ofAstoria,' bas mailed a circular letter toall of the county judges, requesting allfavorable to withholding the state taxto meet at the parlors' of the Perkinshotel;- - Portland, Thursday. " JudgeNorthup bas received some letters up-

on the subject from other counties,and, independent of what action othersmay- - pursue, Multnomah's judge hasdetermined not to pay over the statetax--

REPORT OF EXPERT.

To the honorable board of directorsof school district No. 12, of Wascocounty, Oregon.Gentlemen: As requested by you, I

have made an examination of the bookskept by E. Jacobsen, your retiringclerk, and beg to submit the followingreport. The receipts have been madeup from three sources,

First State and county apportionment.

second Special tax.Third Amounts received for tui

tion, and for sundry sales of schoolfurnishings.

I have compared all items chargedagainst the district by the countytreasurer, which cover classes 1 andfor 1S9-- and 1895, and have fovjjd onlyone discrepancy as shown in accompanying statement. The special tax,prior to 1S94, wa9 collected by theschool clerk, and the amounts accounted for compare with the stubs ofreceipt book with one exception; wherethe clerk takes to account $2.50 forwhich' there is no stub- .- This amouutis allowed to stand,' as the clerk admitsits collection. The collections underclass 3 have been made with the knowledge and assistance of Professor Gavin,your principal of The Dalles schools,wnose certificate as to their correctness appears herewith.

All charges for disbursements havebeen compared with the warrants authorizing same. The vouchers havebeen found genuine, and the chargescorrect with two exceptions as shownin statement above referred to.

The manner of keeping the accountshas been admirable, and the recordsare clear, definite and satisfactory.

Respectfully,F. E. Bhonson.
