Ienisnt Tax Laws.


No other state deals 50 lenisnLy with it,
TAX delinGGents as the state OF Washing
ton. Under the laws OF THIS state delln-
Quent property cannot be sold for taxes
until three years after the date Of da-n-
QueLcy. and when thus sold ths owner
has three years more for redemption,
making SIX years before the STATE can
convey ttie 20 the delinquent property.
Delinquency il FREQUENT among the tax
payers where such Laws are In effect and
the complications arising from such leni-
eucy are expensive. ogrdensome ana dsf-
r.msntal 20 the best interests OF both the
taxpayers and the state. Putting on pay
iag taxes simply leads 90 the accun4ula-
ton of the taxation burden. which IS dis
astrous 10 AL concerned. because matters
sc in such shape that ti,ies are cloud
el, values are lesseued and resources 81
the taxpayers and the returns from the
pTt perty taxea are exhausted by the con-
dlt.ous arising from such conduct and
regulation.

Leonard Bag agsby suffered from acute
rheumatism, and it often approached so
near his heart that he feared fatal results.
One of his favorite liniments was pure
alcohol, and, as it was the cheapest OF
them, he applied it freely during the attack.
The other night Bagsby was awakened
by an attack of his old enemy. AT the first
groan his wife was out of bed, CROP
ing for the cupboard and the alcohol. She
seized the first big bottle, and, verifying
her instinct by sniff at the stopper, she
hurried to her suffering husband. She
needed no encoura cement to apply the
