Tax Penalties are
 Assessed Earlier
Supreme Court Holds That Ap- Til 10th is Limit to Escape From Extra Charge of 10 per Cent on Amount.

The supreme court last week handing down a decision on a minor case made ruling which will affect all tax payers in the state. The court ruled that all sheriffs and collectors must col lect a 10 per cent penalty on any taxes pald after April 10. Here tofore sheriffs have allowed taxes to be paid without penalty being attached until the second Monday in May, when they are required to certify delinquent property to the county clerks. The case in which the ruling was made was l.. G. Martels vs. Ceasar Wyss appealed from the Polk chancery court. A sum- mary of the case follows: Jeff McKinnon owned land on which l.. G. Martels held a vendors S lien. Martels sought to fore close, but the property had been sold for taxes and the purchaser at this sale had transferred his claim to Ceasar Wyss. who set up his claim to the land. Mar tels alleged that the tax sale was void because penalty of 25 per cent was charged, whereas a penalty of only 10 per cent should have been added, and sought to have. the tax deed set aside. This claim was based on the act of 1911. which requires the collectors to add a 10 per cent penalty on all taxes remain ing unpaid after April 10. Mar tels contended that this act re- peals the former act, which makes it the duty of the clerk to add a penalty of p per cent on property returned delinquent to him by the sheriff. which is made the second Monday of May. The supreme court held
 that the late act does not repeal the first, but only makes it obli- gatory on the sheriff to require a payment of 10 per cent penalty on all taxes paid to him after April 10, and before the second Monday in May, when he cer- tifies the delinquent property. After this time a 9 per cent

REED ROBSON


In estimating the relative merit Of
type and plate printing from a com
mercial point of view. it is cheaper to
engrave a pewter plate than to set up
a page of type, but the cost OF printing
from the plate is greater than from
the types. If, therefore, a small num-
Der of copies only is required, say
1000. it is cheaper to engraye. But
if several thousand are likely to be
sold, then the type system is more
profitable.

is EFFICIENCY A POLITI'
CAL ASSET?

II I is interesting to watch
the outcome of the fight
the old guard republi-
cans are making against the
denomination of Ben w. Olcott
for secretary of state. 1t is a
well organized fight but is
weak through having no
ground to stand upon save fac
tionalism.
Olcott has been perhaps the
most capable secretary of state
Oregon has ever had. The Of
flee has been efficiently man.
aged and this is admitted by
all who have come in contact
with the secretary's work. Mr..
Olcott is a clean type of pub
lie official, he is not an old
line politician; he is not en-
bued with the spoilsmen idea
He stands for merit, not fo1
patronage.
To the casual observer the
fight against Olcott seems g
blunder. Under the law he Is
entitled to only one more term
in office and his record com
mends him for reelection. Il
he is defeated for renomina.
ton it will indicate that eff
cheney and clean character
amount to little as assets IL
politics and that the impOrtan
thing is for a man to "stanC
in" with the party machine.
Does a progressive state like
Oregon wish to set up such {
precedent?
