REGARDING THE NEW BRIDGE

The Salem bridge situation is anything but satisfac-
tory. The railroad company gives indication of what
its final decision in the matter of panking its bridge will
be and is taking its usual good time before giving any

the situation are held in allegiance
Plans for bridge have been submitted by the
state engineers Office but Polk county officials will prob
ably hagge them and object to the type of bridge
recommended delaying progress at every turn This is
due to the fact that certain narroWmnded businessmen
in the Polk county towns think they force farmers to
trade with them if they cannot to Saem and these
interests seem to control their county court 1t is
view to take since many residents of Polk county
have interests that seriously impaired by inability to

will the loss of the bridge be felt The Salem bridge is
in fact important that the entire central part of the
valley feels the loss and inconvenience which has followed

cause much confusion and needless ex-
pense, all of which is avoided under the
present plan Of publishing all delin-

Another point of interest to the tax
payers is the undoubted fact that publ
cation of the delinquent list results in
bringing in delinquent money more
promptly. 1t is to the eountry's interest
to get in all tax money as soon as it can,
and publication undoubtedly aids in this
direction.
Doing away with publishing the de-
hnquent list is directly in the interest
of tax title scalpers and always results
in increased cost to many deinquents.

WHAT THIS EDITOR THINKS
Jefferson Review.)

kJtIIeTSOu heN1eW)
Attorney General Brown SAYS the
amendment providing for single veto
by the governor of appropriations is in
effect now. Rightfully used, this is one
OF the best amendments ever passed.
Heretofore the governor had to approve
all or none, as all were involved in the
general appropriation bill. If he vetoed
that the state would have to run for
two years on borrowed money and the
interest would be greater than tho
amount involved in the fool appropria-
tions. Now he can cut out any single
item and not effect the bill as a whole.
The Review believes that Gov. Witty
eombe will use this great power wisely
on all unnecessary appropriations that
Go not apply to the 0. A. C. That in
stltution is his pet, and we believe he
would approve a 100000 appropriation
to be used by the O. A. G. to hold a dog
fight. But there are many worse faults
than trying to get all the aid possible
for the state s leading educational insti-
tuition, with which the governor was
connected for many years. The governor
Is a level headed man, and can be de-
pended upon to exercise good Judgment
in an emergency that effects the tax
payers.

portunities they can. So they want pub
lication of the delinquent list done away
with.
Others are interested in abolishing
publication because every time the
taxes on piece of property become de-
linquent cloud is east on the title, and
removing this cloud costs money and
creates business. To sum it all up, pub
lication of the delinquent list costs the
prompt taxpayer nothing, whereas un-
der the mail notification plan the tax
payers must pay the cost of postage,
stationery and clerk hire. Moreover,
abolishing publication creates oppor-
tunities for scalpers and results in much
confusion.
"Of course, in discussing this situa-
tion the newspaper is an interested
party, for it receives space rates for
publishing the delinquent list; but it
gives full value for every cent it re-
ceives just as it gives full value for the
money it receives for other advertising.
The interest of the prompt taxpayer lies
in the direction of full publicity for the
delinquent list, and there ought to be a
protest against the scheme to substitute
secrecy for publicity.

FOR THE TAXPAYER S ATTENTION
(Eupene Daily Renister


The proposal to abolish publication of
the delinquent tax list is put forth as
an economy measure, but it is nothing
Of the sort. On the contrary. it is a
scheme to put upon the taxpayers, in
stead of the delinquents themselves, the
cost of notifying property owners who
nave failed to pay their taxes
The plan that is proposed contem-
plates abolishing publication in the
newspapers and notifying delinquents
by mail instead. Under the present law
the cost of notification is borne by the
delinquents, but under the plan proposed
to the legislature the cost would be
borne by the taxpayers Thus the man
who pays his taxes promptly would be
compelled to pay for the shortcomings
of the one who does not.
Last year publishing the DELINQUENT
tax list in two newspapers cost approx
mately 5000 and this cost was borne by
the delinquents. There are probably
1000 pieces of delinquent property in
this county, and at two cents each-al-
lowing nothing for clerk hire and sta
tionery-this would be $400 for postage
alone, and the $400 would be paid by
the taXpayers-not by the delinquents
Thus it is evident that the scheme
would mean an increase in taxes instead
of decrease; and besides it is not right
or just to compel those who pay their
taxes promptly to put up for those who
do not.
Nor must it be forgotten that the man
who actually pays the taxes and the one
whose name appears on the rolls are not
always the same. When property is sold
the new owners name does not appear

DELINQUENT LIST
fcottage Greve sentinel. }

t10AAuEf fHfAft -tnilHfI.l
The greatest service performed by the
publication Of the delinquent tax list
is to get before the public the fact that
the property advertised is for sale. BY
these sales the county clerk collects the
money due it for taxes and which it
needs in the conduct of its business. Not
to advertise the sale publicly would re-
suit either in the necessity of the eoun-
ty going without lot of its tax money
or IN the monopolization of the buying
of tax titles by the few who are able
to go to the expense of getting list
of delinquent property. This would not
be fair to the taxpayers of the county.
Still another purpose served by the
publication of the delinquent tax list
that would not be served by the use of
postal cards is that many who are de-
linquent hasten to pay before their de.
hnqueneles are made public through
publication. Thus a large amount of
money is put into the county treasury
and the cost of publication saved.
The law requiring the publication OF
the delinquent tax list was repealed
some years ago but was again put ON
the statute books through the protest
of taxpayers whose property had been.
sold without their knowledge, so the
post card system was not effective even
to the extent of reaching those who
were delinquent

Ireland's original Blarney stone is
set in the wall of the castle, where it
can be kissed only by a person held

pet. But tourists who go to Barney
castle are usually taken to a stone at
the summit of the tower. al,f
Therefore the Barney stone at a
party may be painted on the attic
chimney, or it may be set high up in
a room, to be reached only by the per.
ilOus ascent of kitchen step ladder.
Guests must kiss the Barney stone
as soon as they enter the house. They
must not even address their hostess
until this ceremony has been accom-
plisbed. And thereafter flattery is the
order of the evening. He who speaks
moderately, or who by any misc:lance
happens to tell the truth, is subject
to fine.
Last year.. one hostess provided a
prison for the truthtellers. This was
a snakes den, room in the basement
draped with green cheesecloth and
lavishly decorated with Japanese pa
per serpents of assorted sizes.
In this room was a punch bowl
(green and minty) presided over by
St. Patrick himself, who also turned
prophet and told the fortunes of his
prisoners. Eventually this cave prov

fiers were compelled to tell the truth
in order that they might join the gay
party in the cellar.

The sport of kings, with all its at

thrillingly portrayed in a number of
scenes in "The Thoroughbred" the
Triangle play by c. Gardner Sullivan,
in which Thomas III. 1nce presents
Frankk Keenan, as star. The story con-
Germs the efforts of a Puritanic young
minister to effect the abolition OF
horse-racing in one Of the southern
states, his success and his ultimate
contrtion, inspired by realization
of the fact that his activities have
caused poverty in the home of Ma.
jor Ainslee, whose daughter he loves.
Many of the scenes, therefore, are
those of the race-track.
To film this portion of the subject
Reginald Barker, who directed it, took
his entire company to Tia Juana, Mex
leo, where horse racing at the time
was enjoying a tremendous popular
ity. Through the influence of friends,
in control of the track, he was given
permission to use all parts of the
track, paddock, stables and grand
stands for his purpose. Three full
days were spent at the track, and
Barker returned with several thous-
and feet of exposed film, depicting
horse-racing at the height of its
vogue. ~,

and a two.reel Keystone comedy will
