OUR RELATIONS TO THE WAR

upon them by this present war, will
the people agree to enter into another
war with nation which has announce
ed arbitration as It's definite policy ?
/ say the people, advisedly; the peo-
pie did not start this war. The pub
lie ould not have voted for this war.
Now that they are in It. they are fight
ing II through. But they will not be
drawn into another war without a
protest. and a protest so clear and SO
strong that no ruler will be so reck-
less as to ignore il or defy it, The
people who are opposed to war as a
method of settlement OF differences
are an overwhelming majority of the
voters and of the property owners.
Moreover. they are the great majority
of the sufferers from the war. When
war is threatened again. by war lords
or by jinsoes. the people opposed to
war and favorable to arbitration
should take immediate action and ap-
which 4 controversy has arisen and
ask for reference of all difficulties
rather than resort to force. Unless
we are to continue to follow the ut
terly unjust and un-Christian doc
trine that might (the largest armies
and best eauipment) makes right"
we must labor to propagate in our
country the Christian principle Of
arbitration. so that there will be no
thought of war except as mon
strous and horrible alternative.
This country need not fear being
drawn into a war, certainly not from
lack of preparedness. Coast defenses
should be strengthened, and the nor
NAL Increase provided for the army
and navy, but no action SHOULD be
taken which will commit us to the
policy, which has proved so disastrous
to Europe. Our Christian leaders
should assert their views so strongly
that the clamor of the preparedness
propaganda should be drowned in the
opposition of the people to any policy
which burdens the nations unneccs-
sarily. and at the same time invites
the tingoes to drag us into war.

FEW DELINQUENTS
IN SECOND HALF
TAX COLLECTOR IN COMPILATION
OF FIGURES SHOWS ONLY s12ss.s7
HAS GONE DELINQUENT
County Has Collected $25,492.99 in
Second Half Taxes-New Provision
of Law Effective End of Year

According to the books of Ruth w.
Broman, ex-officia tax collector, taxes
for the second half payment due July
3 were entirely paid in with the ex-
ception of $1283.87, on which the prop
erty became delinquent and the work
of issuing tax sale certificates is now
lected in second half payments was
$25, 5,492.99. Under the present law
the tax sale certificate will draw is
per cent interest until paid, whether
the certificate is held by the county
or is purchased by an individual.
The end of this year will see a
change in the operation of the de-
linquent tax law. Property on the 1915
tax rolls becoming delinquent January
will draw IL per cent interest until
did instead of 18 per cent as at pres
ent. Instead of the 10 per cent pen
atty to be added this has been reduced
to six per cent. The four per cent
penalty on half payments will be elm
mated entirely.
Delinquent property will be redeem
able by the owner at any time within
two years following the delinquency
by paying the interest. Should the
not be redeemed it is neces-
sary to quiet title in the courts by
foreclosure proceedings the same as
n the case of mortgage foreclosure
Failure to forclose on tax sale GER
ifcate results in the property revert
ng to the county at once.
Auditor Estes stated today that he |
lad received some applications for the
purchase of tax sale certificates and
hat probably all the property delin
uent in the second half payments
would be taken up by persons desiring
0 earn the interest.

By the United Press Associations.
LONDON, July 19-The greatest
crisis since the beginning of the war
can only be averted in England by the
government taking over the coal mines.
This was the growing conviction of Of
ficials when the cabinet met in spe
cial session today to consider the strike
in South Wales. 1t is the belief of the
government that the miners won't OBJ
ject to the temporary control of the
coal fields by the crown. This will
remove the chief contention on which
is based he belief of the miners that
the operators are amassing fortunes
from war prices on coal. The miners
demand share of the increased pro-
ceeds of the operators. Unless the
mines are taken over, government in
declared that the settle
ment of the dispute was remote.
Lloyd George, minister of muni
ions, will leave for Cardiff tonight TO
appeal to the striking miners in South
Wales to return to work so that the
actories may not be forced to close |
