he WANTS JUSTICE.
A Taxpayer Refuses TO Settle With the
County Until All Pay

| County Until All Pay.
Recently Sheriff Kelley sent ou
notices to all delinquent taxpayers
notifying them that they must make
immediate settlement of their taxes
or he would be compelled to levy on
their property. Here is sample oi
one of the replies he received. 1t is
from prosperous Hood River farmer,
one who pays his obligations promptly
and still who wants justice done all,
and insists that justice be done all tax
payers in every part of the country
Here ls the letter:
"Mr. Robert Kelley, Sheriff: re-
ceived your notice of my unpaid taxes.
This is not an oversight of mine, but
had made up my mind to never pay
into the treasury of WAsco county
another dollar of taxes until the offic.
ials had either imposed penalty for
non payment or taken action to collect
delinquent taxes.
This conclusion I had come to be-
cause of the state of the county's
financial condition. The county is
paying 8 per cent on large amount
of outstap ming worrants. The parties
who hold part of the warrants are
owing Tor have beenl several years
taxes on their property, and have not
paid them because they could invest
the money in county warrants and
draw interest on the same.
If you would impose 10 per cent
penalty every six months on the un-
paid taxes, these gLouls, who are liv-
ing off the taxpayers would have to
paw up.
1 most sincerely hope your notice
means what it says, that you must
proceed at once to levy on>all property
on which taxes are unpaid If this
means levy of 10 per cent on the
amount as a first item of expense,
think the county wo I'D soon be able
to pay off at least part of its old war;
rants.
1 hope we now have a set of officers
who will do something besides draw
their salaries and their breath. If
they do not do more then it would be
better for the country &C large and the
taxpayers in general if they would
cease to draw the latter"

IMPORTANT DECISION
Judge Hanford says sheepmen May Pass
Over Railroad Land


A. s. Bennett, of this city, has just
received notice from the clerk of the
United States circuit court at Tacoma,
OF decision by Judge Hanford in the
case of the Northern Pacific Railroad
Co. ys. Cunningham, which is of great
Importance to sheep raisers within the
belt of land covered by the grant to
that railroad company.
The case was one brought by the
railroad company to enjoin Cunning
ham from letting his sheep Craze
across the railroad sections. Judge
Hanford states the argument on behalf
of Gun nningham as follows:
81. That in all such grants or con-
veyances; that is, where the land
granted is entirely surrounded by tie
land reserved 70. the grantor. and vice
versa. that there Is a way of necessity
which passes to the grantee OH the one
hand, and is reserved by the grantor
on the other, to pass across the land
era nted or reserved as the case may
be. to reach its own land.
- That this right goes with the
land ard passes TO any person using
the land with the consent OF the owner
whether it be tenant or liceusee,
going there with the permission of
the owner.
"5. That the defendent in this case,
in common with all citizens of the
country, is licensee of the govern
ment i n the use of its public lands for
grazing purposes, and goes there to
use the land with its permission and
and therefore. as long as
such implied permission and authority
continues, has tbs same right to go
across plaintiffs land to reach the
sections. as against the
plaintiff, as the government itself
would have"
And then says:
"I can and do give the defendant
the full benefit of the above PROPOSE
lions in their entirety"
Judge Hanford holds further. how
ever. that this does not authorize the
grazing OF sheep upon the lands of the
company generally, out only
he right to use sudi .ient of the rail-
Dad lands as highway, to gain access
% the government lan7s. and that the
plaintiff is entitled to have injunction |
4gainst the use of its lands for gen.
raj grazing purposes.
This will be very satisfactory to the
ettlers and sheepmen, and they only
lain the right to pass across the rail-
Dad sections to the government lands.
