SNOBBERY HAMPERS THE
ARMY

N his address in Portland
u We It e rday ex-President
Taft pointed out the need
of more officers for the Am
erican army and urged the es-
tablishment of another West
Point.
1t is a fact that in the event
of war the lack of a sufficient
number of trained officers
would be a handicap. Like
Russia we would have private
soldiers in abundance but not
enough officers to direct them.
One reason there are not
enough officers is the fact en-
listed men in the regular army
and in the national guard are
not given sufficient encour-
agement to become regular
army officers. The officers
constitute the aristocracy of
the army and they resent hav-
ing their charmed circle filled
with men coming up from the
ranks. If the army is intend
ed for an, exclusive social club
their theory is alright; if it is
intended for possible warfare
the notion is wrong. In the
regular army and the national
guard there are a vast num-
Der of enlisted men capable of
making good officers. To
eliminate snObbery and give
them chance would be a sane
and valuable step for the ma
tional defense.

rigation of the campus would
be unjust unless there is such
water to spare, Pendleton
should have first rights and
the water commission should
firmly uphold the city's inter-
ests if they become jeopar-
died.
Meanwhile it is too bad our
"antis' were unable to rip
up some trouble for the city
in this connection. Since the
water system was completed
and put into use they have had
little opportunity for scoffing.
The Thorn Hollow system has
given the city a larger and far
better water supply, it has re-
duced water rates, lowered in
Surance costs and eliminated
much summer sickness. With
irrigation suspended at the
agency there will probably be
ample water for the natatori-
UNI also. Such is to be hoped
because the river water here
is not very good even for bath
ing purposes.

PENDLEToN FIRST

NNY discontinuing the rriga-
~ ton of the agency school
campus with city water
Major Swartzlander avoids
any controversy with the city.
His action is sane and reason
able though it viii be disap-
pointing to our "antis" who are
never so happy as when they
think they have a chance to-
sneer at the gravity system or
those who brought about its
construction.
AS to the amount of water
the agency was using there is
a difference of opinion be-
tween the agent and Mr..
Hayes. Natural enough. Every
month there are local people
who think the water depart
ment overestimates the amount
of water they use. But when
the facts are determined it is
usually found that Mr.. Hayes
calculations are correct. Since
Pendleton consumers must ac-
cept the water superintend-
ent's figures it is only fair for
the Indian agency to do the
same.
The question that is up here
does not pertain to any short
age. 1t has to do with the sur
plus. The gravity system is
providing an abundance of wa
ter for all regular purposes, in
cluding the watering of the
new parks. and the reservoirs
are kept filled. But during
last week there was not enough
surplus water to provide for
the natatorium and Mr.. Hayes
attributed the fact to too much
irrigation at the agency. The
fact six sprinklers were kept
running there continuously in
dicates he was right in the mat
ter.
The claim the agency has
the right to use city water for
irrigation under its domestic
use" contract is weak. Do
mestic use means household
use. If it should be extended
to include irrigating the cam
pus at the agency school there
would be nothing to prevent
them from irrigating a vast
tract Of land. Such a con-
struction on the contract would
be unreasonable from legal
standpoint and a moral stand
point.
The city of Pendleton built
the water system and paid
for it. For such rights as it
secured from Indian owners it
paid a high price. It grants
the agency the right to use
water for domestic purposes
and that is a boon because it
means wholesome water for
the Indian children and the
agency force. To extend
the contract so as to cover ir-

OUR AUTOMOBILE BILL

IGURES have been com-
piled by the Scientific
American showing the
number of autos in use in this
country together with the cost
of the same:
On June l of the current
year the number of automo-
biles in the United States for
the first time reached 2,000,-
900. Figuring on an average
Of four persons to each car,
which is very conservative.
there are 100000 people in
this country in daily enjoyment
of motoring. What it costs to
follow this sport is of interest,
because Of the stupendOus fig
ures involved. To run 2,000,-
900 cars for one year requires
at the very least 100000
600 gallons of "gas," worth
$130,000,000; 20,000,000 gal
Ions of lubricating oil, worth
/ iS8,00O,00O; 100000 tires,
worth not less than SIG apiece,

coo. Add thereto the value OF
the 100000 new cars purchas-
ed during the year, at an aver
age price of $3.50, or $780,

Amendments to Tax
Laws Now in Effect
DELINQUENT ONES MUST PAY
OCTOBER ) INSTEAD OF
SEPTEMBER 1.

Sections . and of chapter 156.
laws Of 1915, amending sections S6Ss
and S67S. Lords oregon Laws, are
now in effect and, therefore. the tax
collector is to make his annual state
ment and tax return and also pro-
coed To collect delinquent taxes on or
immeditely after october 5. 1915, in
stead Of September l, as heretofore.
according to instructions issued by
the state tax commission to every tax
collector and sheriff in Oregon, cop
les of which have been received by
Sheriff Taylor,
The tax commission also advised
the sheriffs and tax collectors on sew
eral other matters of procedure in
tax collections for the current year
and the instructions are of consider
able interest to taxpayers as we'll as
collectors and sheriffs, These in
structions follow:
Vital Points Given.
Where one-half of the 1914 taxes
on any property was paid before
April l, 1915, the second half may
be paid any time before October l,
1915, without penalty or interest: IL
the second half is not SO paid it will
become delinquent on October and
be then subject to a penalty of 10 per
cent and interest at the rate of 12 per
cent per annum from said date.
Where one-half was not paid be-
fore April l, 1915, a penalty of one
per cent for each calendar month orI
part thereof, on the total amount un-
paid, accumulates during the period
beinning April l and ending August
81. 1915. For Illustration, If a tax
bill as chared on the roll totals SI00I
and the fun amount is paid in the
month of August, a penalty of 5 perl
cent (s5.00) is to be added thereto
These cumulative penalties are 1otI
to be collected on or after September
l, 1915, bein superseded on that date
by the penalties and interest apple
able to delinquent taxes
Subject to Penalty
Whereas one-half of the 1914 tax
es on any property was not paid be-
fore April l, 1915, the entire amount
unpaid will become delinquent on
September l, 1915, and be then sub
ject to a penalty of 10 per cent and
interest at the rate of IL per cent per
annum. For instance. the taxes asI
oriinally charged on a certain prop
erty amount to 800; if paid in full
on September Is, 1915, the total am
cunt required would be S110.50, al
penalty of 10 per cent (S1O) and in
terest at the rate of II per cent per.
annum for Is days (5Oc) being added
to the original tax
Section l Of chapter 1855. Laws Of
1915, amending section 36S2, Lords
Oregon Laws, and providing in part
that the first half of all taxes legally
levied and charged shall be paid on
or before the fifth day of April fol-
lowing. and the second half on or be-
fore the fifth day of October follow
ing. has no application whatever to
taxes charged on tax rolls of the year
1914. Said section will become ef-
fective in 1915 and apply in the pay
ment of taxes to be charged on the
1915 rolls"
