TAX DODGERS TO
BE HUNTED UP
ia ckson County TO Make All
Pay Their Taxes And.
No Escape.

Jackson county has undertaken an
active campaign against taxdodgers
and has adopted the plan in vogue in
many Eastern states Of giving a per
cent of the tax collected for the year
on property that is not on the tax
roll. To encourage this detective
work the county will give to the in
former 10 per cent of the tax that
shall be collected ON unassessed prop
erty. 1t is expected that considerable
securities, personal property and cash
will be reported to the county. In.
diana has such law and it has
proven q success and has greatly in
creased the taxable property of the
various county. The liberal reward
given has caused men to devote their
entire time to hunting up smuggled
stocks, bonds and other taxable prop
erty easily hidden from the assessor.
They are known as "tax ferrets" and
travel from county to county and SO
thorough are they in their detective
work that very little property is now
untaxed. There is penalty On per.
sons who fail to give iu all their tax
able property aud this increase to
their taxes pays the per cent that goes
to the tax ferrets Though the law
has been in effect bet few years it is
said to have put on the tax roll goodly
amounts to the credit of persons pre-
viously on for very small sums. Such
a law for Oregon would be certain to
greatly increase the tax roll aud there
by more nearly equalize the burden
on the taxpayers.

FAvors Accepting Government
Offer.

E. N. Provolt one Of the most suo-
cessful farmers in Applegate Valley.
and whose place is near Provolt post
office, was in Grauts Pass Wednesday.
Mr.. Provo!t 10 Q strong advocate Of
the good roads movement In Josephine
county and on that issue he has been
nominated for commissioner on the
democratio ticket. Mr.. Provolt re-
Gently made trip to Talent in Jack
son county. He travelled In his bug
Ky 30 he had good opportunity to OBJ
serve the roads Of that county. Jack
son Is one OF of the few counties in
Oregon that is building modern roads
and doing the work with road crew
under the foremsnship of roadmaster
and expert, and it was to these roads
that Mr.. Provolt paid particular no.
tice. The road bewteen Talent and
Medford ia one of the jackson county
roads that has been maoadamized and
though IT is part Of the main
thoroughfare through Rogue River
Valley and had heavy hauling over IL
all Winter Mr.. Provolt found 1t as
smooth as paved street and in such
condition that two-horse team could
easily haul two ton load over 1t. Il
was free from mud IN the Winter and
dust In the Summer and was an ideal
driveway for light rigs. The comfort
Of driving over such road and the
ease with which his team could travel
made Mr.. Provolt a stronger advocate
than ever Of Josephine county adopting
the modern system of road building
and of as fast as the finances Of the
county will permit constructing sec-
tion after section Of permanent high.
way.
OF the offer OF the government to
furnish the machinery and to have
an expert supervise the construction
Of half.mile Of sample road for Josa.
pine county and Of the offer Of the
Southern Pacific to give free transpor-
tation to the machinery and for the
rock for macadam Mr.. Provolt
strongly favored the acceptance Of the
offer. He thought the best and most
needed section for this improvement
was the half mile of road from Rogue
river bridge at Grants Pass to the
forks Of the Waldo and Williams stage
roads. As this Is heavily travelled and
in very bad condition aud Its i'm
provement would benefit Grants Pass
as well as the county, he WAS Of the
opinion that the city and the county
should jointly bear the expense OF
providing the labor required.
