To The Citizens of Grant County
We wish to thank you for
your patronage and patience
with us the last two years in
our Burn Out, Sickness and Re-
building. We expect to make
1913 the banner year for all in
Grant county and bv your help
can do it.
I wish you a Happy and Pros-
perous New Year.
I remain yours for business.
• W. S. Long, the Poultry Man.
Congregational Notes
Let the year that is ;\ist with
all its burdens be gone but see
to it that you profit by your
mistakes.
I have many things to say to!
you in our first service of the' -
new year. The sermon topic-
will be, "The Foundations of a
Masterbuilder.'' Let us help
you get a vision for the new
year. We have been too slow
in the past and it has taken too
long to do a little. Can we de-
pend on you to help us do a full
job for the new year.
The evening sermon will be,
"Jesus' conception of a man in
sin and God's attitude toward
him." You need this sermon.
Let every member be present.
All welcome.
The annual Church meeting -on
Thursday evening. Basket sup-
per at 5:30. The annual meet-
ing will follow immediately.
Alonzo Early, Minister.
Do'You Pay Taxes?
These are the days when almost the en-
tire community are talking and paying
taxes, and one is very apt, after an inter-
view with the county treasurer, to seek
comparisons in regard to what his neigh-
bor is doing to supply the "push" to the
wheels of progress. Comparisons, we
sometimes hear, ore odious, but this pa-
per wishes to make one that is of interest
to all tax-payers and business men of the
county, as it develops a fact that should
demand their attention. On the assess-
ment rolls, the valuation of the three lead-
*
ing newspapers of the county appear (in
round numbers) as follows:

Resolutions Of Sympathy.
&
WHEREAS, The Bay View
Club deeply feels the sad bereav-
ment of one of its members, Mrs.
E. F. Gordon, in the loss of a
noble and kind husband, who
made such a gallant fight against
a dreaded disease, that finally
caused his death, and knowing
of the great loss to her and her
family,
THEREFORE, Be it resolved
by the members of said Club
that we extend our heartfelt
sympathy to the wife and to the
children. That we express our
high appreciation of the charac-
ter of the departed, who not
only was a model husband and
father, but also an upright citi-
zen and christian man.
That we commend his virtues
in all respects and express the
hope, that in the midst of the
gloom that surrounds them, that
their burdens may be lightened
with the cheer that comes from
the memory of the excellent
character of the deceased. And
we recommend to them the con-
solation that can only come from
the Giver of all good gifts.
That we recommend that a
copy of these resolutions be
spread upon the minutes of the
Club and a copy be given to
the family and that the same be:
published in the city papers.

and we cannot, in this case, dispute the figures, as they
were compiled by one competent to judge of printing ma-
chinery (the assessor himself, who is owner of the News.)
Taxes, we suppose, will be paid upon these valuations, as
property owners do not voluntarily raise their own as-
sessments. What does this signify? In plain English it
means that the Patriot pays more money toward the sup-
port of Medford and Grant county institutions than both
the Star and News combined.
Over $2 to $1 is the Ratio of iTaxes
and this fact should be taken into consideration by those
who have the welfare of the city and county at heart
when distributing their patronage. The fact is also dem-
onstrated that the Patriot is twice as well equipped to
supply your needs as our Medford cotemporary, or as
$3500 is compared to $1800. The establishing of a print-
ing plant like the Patriot demonstrates confidence in the
future of the town and county. But until the time arrives
that the paper can be run to its earning capacity taxes
and upkeep are apt to prove burdensome. The MORE we
pay in taxes the LESS you pay, and good business sense
should cause you to at least divide your patronage on a
tax ratio. We give you the
Circulation for Advertising!
Guaranteed Satisfaction in
Printing of Any Kind!
and can please you in anything that the office turns out,
the extra equipment enabling us to undertake and "deliv-
er the goods" in many cases that the ordinary country
newspaper is not prepared to handle. Please remember
these FACTS when you want printing of any kind during
the year 1913. We're only asking "what is coming to us"
taking taxation and merit into consideration.
