TAXES ARE NOW BEING
PAID COUNTY TREASURER

The annual tax harvest in Umatilla
county commenced this morning with
the turning over of the books of As
SCISSOR c. p. Strain to Treasurer G. w.
Bradley. who, under the new law, is
the official tax collector instead of the
sheriff. Mrs. Annie Hunt of this city
was the first to appear and pay her
share in the expenses Of government.
There has not been any great rush
to the treasurer's office today AMI the
office force is just as well satisfied
for they were hardly prepared for the
commencement of collections. With
the books just turned over. they had
not yet got their books in readiness
to receive the money. However. they
have not turned anybody away.
The first period of collection will
last until April l, by which time tax
es must be paid to escape penalties.
Contrary to the procedure in the past
there is no special inducement in the
way of discounts this year for prompt
payment The taxpayer has the op-
tion of paying only half of his taxes by
April /. but there will be penalty of
one per cent month on the other
half up until September l. after
which there is still sitter penalty.
