TAX LAWS Do NOT
APPLY UNTIL 1916
Instructions to Tax Collectors Ex-
plain Method of Tax Collection
For This Year.-Old Law
Applies.

The following instructions to Tax
Collectors have been sent out from
Salem and may prove of interest to
many of our readers:
On February 26, 1915, this Com
mission sent instructions to each
County Treasurer (then Tax Collec-
tori advising on certain matters of
procedure in tax collections of the
current year. Such instructions are
here repeated, in substance. with ad-
ditional advice which now appears in
order
/. Where one-half of the 1914
taxes on any property was paid be-
fore April l, 1915, the second half
may be paid any time before October
/, 1915, without penalty or interest;
If the second half is not so paid it
will become delinquent on October /
and then be subject to penalty of
10 per cent and interest at the rate
of IL per cent per annum from said
date.
2. Where one-half was not paid
before April 1, 1915, penalty of one
per cent for each calendar month or
part thereof, on the total amount un-
paid, cumulates during the period be-
ginning April l and ending August
81, 1915. For illustration, if tax
bill as charged on the roll totals
10000 and the full amount is paid
in the month of August, penalty of
per cent fs5.O0) it to be added
thereto. These cumulative penalties
are not to be collected on or after
September l, 1915. being superseded
on that date by the penalties and in
terest applicable to delinquent taxes.
3. Where one-half of the 1914
taxes on any property was not paid
before April H. 1915. the entire
amount unpaid will become delin-
quent on September /, 1915, and
be then subject to penalty of 10
per cent and interest at the rate of
IL per cent per annum. For instance
the taxes as originally charged on
certain property amount to 10000;
if paid in full on September Is, 1915.
the total amount required would be
$110.50, penalty of 10 per cent
| ($10.00) and interest at the rate of
II per cent per annum for Is days
| ($0.50) being added to the original
tax.
4. Section j of Chapter 1856,
Laws of 1915, amending Section 368e
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 following. and the second half
on or before the fifth day of October
following" has no application to
taxes charged on tax rolls of the year
1914. Said section will be come eff
fective in 1915 and apply in the pay
ment of taxes to be charged on the
1915 rolls.
5. Sections and 3 of Chapter
1856, Laws of 1915, amending Sec
tions 1888 and 36S7, Lords Oregon
Laws, are now in effect. Therefore
the Tax Collector is to make his an
nual statement and tax return, also
proceed to collect delinquent taxes
on personally, on or Immediately af-
ter October 5, 1915, instead of Sep
tember l as heretofore.

BENSON DAY At
FAIR BIG SUCCESS
''OregOn's Most Notable Citizen" Is
Honored at ExpOsitiOn-Big At
tendance Hears His EulO.
CITATION.

Oregon Building. Panama-Pacific
Exposition, San Francisco, Aug. 25.
Reviewing the personal virtues and
many benefactions of Oregon's most
notable" citizen-Simon Benson of
Portland-and making clear the un-
pretentiousness of the man, the sim
plicity of his heart and his sincere in
terest in the welfare of his fellow
citizens, as evidenced by his activity
and gifts in behalf of the multitudes,
John F. Logan, Oregon commissioner
now resident at the Exposition, closed
brilliant eulogy with the sugges-
tion: Men of wealth 60 and do thou
likewise, and l pledge you there will
be less of the soap box orator, less of
the red flag" And the hundreds who
had assembled to do Mr.. Benson hon
or on this memorable 18th Of August,
1915, cheered to the echo.
Governor James Withycombe. who
counted 1t a pleasure to make the
trip from the state capital at Salem,
dismantle himself of all official glory
and take his place as only private
citizen delighted to honor a beloved
friend, said on this occasion: While
Mr.. Benson has wealth, wealth won
by toll and thrift. and certain for
tuitous circumstances, we of Oregon
are here to honor the man, not his
money. Simon Benson Is clean
man, man Of ideals and the highest
type of citizenship, the kind we are
ever ready to exalt. He has interest
ed himself actively in things great
and good for Oregon and 1t is evident
that he has regarded his wealth as a
public trust rather than purely sell
fish possession. Mr.. Benson was Sc
lected as OregOn's most notable citi-
zen because of the greatness Of his
soul, the extent Of his good works,
and the fact that he has promoted
human brotherhood. He Is worthy
OF the honor Oregon has paid him and
worthy Of all the honor this greatest
of Expositions can do him."
And Simon Benson, somewhat ILL
at-ease but frankly pleased through
out the several public demonstrations
said as he received commorative
medal from President Moore of the
Exposition: Anything | may have
done for the state was a pleasure to
me; in fact, duty owed the state
which has done so much for me-"
The Benson Day activities began
with a parade from the Hotel ST.
Francis at 10:30, more than a score
of decorated automobiles carrying the
guest of honor, Gov. Withycombe.

and other prominent state and Ex-
position officials. With flags flying
and banners proclaiming this an Ore

On Wednesday, by the use of a
number of automobiles, the commit
tee, assisted by all those of our citi-
zens who could cut loose from bus
mess, took to the country, and pref
ty thorough canvas was made of the
farmers and ranchmen up and down
our creeks and over the hills. The
solicitors all found strong senti-
ment in favor of the creamery and
cold storage plant, but there was no
great willingness on their part to sub
scribe stock at the present time. Just
why this is so, the committee was un-
able to determine, but various rea-
sons were put forth. However, it is
believed that when they fully under
stand just how the proposition Is to
be handled the country people will
give it all the backing necessary. To
be sure, no real definite plan of build
ing and operating the butter factory
has yet been decided upon for the
reason, mainly, that the present Or
ganization are not wise to just what
plan to pursue. The country solicita-

TIME TO SAVE TIME.
Paint for Automobiles Has Been the
Subject of Long Study.

Without a doubt. the finished surface
OF an automobile is subjected to a much
greater strain than that of a railway car
or any horse-drawn vehicle. 1t requires
finishing materials which possess the
qualities of homogenity and elasticity to
very marked degree, and these char
acteristcs are absolutely necessary toSin-
sure withstanding the excessive vibra-
ton OCcasioned by the motion of the
car. Since engaging in the manufacture
OF hish-grade automobiles. the selection
and perfecting of proper material for
finishing them satisfactorily has been
the subject of careful and prolonged
study and repeated experiments. Now
after several years of testing under all
conditions including many tests made on
cars in actual road service the Pierce
Arrow Motor Car Company is convinced
that its paint department has established
a combination of finishing material pos
sessing the essential qualities so neces-
sary TO obtain finish of reasonably long
life and perfect appearance.
In recent years there has been great
advancement in the perfecting Of ma
terial and its application. and these are,
indeed, long strides in advance of the
methods employed in the olden days.
A century ago. and before that, with
the methods and materials then cm-
poyed. it was considered necessary that
the processes and operations for compIet-
ing the painting of a vehicle should oc-
cupy from three to four and even six
months. At the present day, employing
advanced methods and modern material,
the time necessary to produce the same
Or bctter-rcsults. has been cut down
to as many weeks-and less.

Replying to the question asked re-
Gently by the secretary OF the New

is back of the prohibition move; who
is putting up the money!" the state
ment was made at the National Anti

that it was probable that MIR. Rookie
Teller and Mr.. Carnegie were contribute
ing to the work of the New York State
League.
This statement was made by f. c.
Dinwiddie, who represents the Anti
Saloon League in Washington:
II learned that a few years ago Mr..
Rockefeller and Mr.. Carnegie were
contributing to the New York STATE
League. 1 assume they are still max
ing contributions. But of course they
are not financing the prohibition move
ment. They are not contributing to
the work of the National Anti-Saloon
League, so far as l know. Our organi-
zation would welcome their contribu-
lions. as we do those of any other per-
sons who are interested in promoting

In speaking OF the war. Mrs. Stoner
said: we women are the cause of
the war, because in the nursery We give
our children swords and pistols. because
we ourselves admire brass buttons and
