A STALE STATE STEAL.
Are Portland Bankers Encouraging
stats Robbery

Portland is perpetrating an ancient
steal in holding back 500, 600 Of taxes
due the state. II IL nothing but steal.
It is the duty of The press and the
public 10 demand the money due the
state and set the wheels Of business GO
ing. The state officials should declare
county officials defsuIters who do not
pay their state taxes.
There is q half a million due the state
treasury that is now in the hands Of
county officials. or loaned by them to
banks. What Is this profiting these de-
faulters and these favored banks? Not
less than $4,000 interest year, or S25,
900 profit for months. Do the bonds
men Of these county treasurers share in
this profit? AS a rule they do not, un-
less the bondsIaen are the bankers
themselves. which ia undoubtedly the
case in Portland. If the bOndsmen do
not look after the county treasurers
they are going to be called upon for
some rouDd sums. And this Is right.
This money should be in circulation.
1t should employ labor. 1t should be
honestly accounted for. If it is not
accounted for the state will never get
half of 1t. The people who have paid
these taxes will in future prefer TO be
relieved Of their earnings by the high
way robber in preference to handing il
over to kid glove officials and sawdust
bankers. The question comes right
back to this: Have we state govern
ment? II we have we ought to know
