STATE LOSES MONEY
NO LEGAL METHOD
OF COLLECTING FEES.
Secretary of State Recommends Cor
poration Department With Power
to Collect Delinquent FeeS-Oregon
is Losing $4,000 to $4,000 Per
Year Through Failure to Collect
From Corporations.

The gross total collected from all
sources from corporations under the
act of 1903 for the biennial term end
ing September 80, 1906, was $780,
049.7S, an increase of s4s,433.91
over the preceding two years, and the
gross total collected from corpora
tions since the law went into effect
May, 1903, to December 81, 1905, was
S461, ,6S22S.
This act alone has raised more than
one-seventh of the revenue necessary
to support the state government and,
says Secretary of state Dunbar in his
biennial report, will increase each
year with the development of the re-
sources and the demands of the in
dustries of the commonwealth"
Yet according to the records in the
corporation department, the state is
losing from $4,000 to $4,000 annual
ly from neglect and failure to enforce
the collection of delinquent licenses
and dues, and from the fact that
scores of foreign corporations are do
ing business in the state annually
without paying one cent license OF
tax because no authority or means
nave been provided whereby this bus
mess can be attended TO properly.
Thousands of dollars are being lost
annually through the failure of dis
trict attorneys to institute actions for
collection of delinquent license fees,
although lists of such delinauents
have frequently been furnished and
requests made that action be brought
and a bill that is now being drafted
by Corporation Clerk F. 7. Wright
man, which makes 1t the duty of the
attorney general to institute suit for
collection at the request of the secre-
tary of state, which will be presented
to the legislature for enactment with
view to correcting this defect.

TO HELP HIS BROTHER OUT.
Montana Man Comes to Baker TO De-
fend Murderer.

Although his great cattle ranch
near Kalispell, Mont, demands his at
tention, and his business affairs are
in such shape that his presence at
home is almost necessary, T. L. Wild
dowson's affection for his brother
Alex. who is imprisoned in the Baker
county Jail on the charge Of murder
ing Willard Moody, proved greater
than his material interests and as a
result he arrived in Baker City this
morning, says the Baker City Herald.
Mr.. Widdowson declared that his
broad acres could care for themselves
so far as he is concerned, until after
his brother has been tried on the
dreadful charge which has been
lodged against him. That his speedy
acquittal will result, he declares he
has no doubt.
