ed with remittances. 1t - quite COM
mon for careless pardes to SEND III
the amount of their taxes ana iall u
return the statement. This necessitates
the making of q new statement which
consumes much time ut period When
time is precious. A little forethoush'
on the part of the taxpayer VIII rem
edy this.
To persons who have 4 statement OF
the first half of their taxes and VINO
thereby know the amGuht oil the Sec.
end half, | would say, please do not
wait until the last day before lnakiis
vcu1 remittance. If We have your mon
ey or your check ten days or tWC
weeks prior to Noyembc: Both, we can
send your receipt to you by December
LIST without inconvenience.
So far as sending in the proper
amount is concerned | might say mere
that one of the most satisfying meth-
DDS. to the office force and the tax
payer alike, and, too a method grow
ing quite common, is to send in Dlank
signed check. We will then fill III the
proper amount and are enabled 10
send you your receipt quite promptly.
This eliminates all correspondence anu
is quite helpful in a busy season.
For those persons whose taxes are
delinquent, would suggest that you
send in at once for a statement. Inls
will show you where you stand with
reference to your taxes and Will cost
you nothing. We are here to serve you
1t will be done promptly and cheer
fully.
One reason for sending for these
statements now, is that they Will show
you whether or not certificate OF de-
linquency has been issued on your
land. Many hundreds Of these certil-
Gates have been issued on land IN TINS
county. usually without the knowledge
of the land owner. These certificates
of delinquency bear interest at the
rate of fifteen per cent, and III audl-
ton, the land owner must pay Tor all
trimmings" Besides the foregoing,
the interest is once compounded. AS
but comparatively few land ihVest-
ments in this county pay an annual 10
per cent dividend, it is apparent thaI
the tax payer can not allow ceruli-
cate of delinquency to hang over MS
land. Any time after the expiration oi
three years from the original date Of
delinquency of any tax included III a
certificate of delinquency, the holder
of the certificate may proceed to fore
close. Once a deed is issued under
such foreclosure, there is no period OF
redemption. 1t sometimes happens thar
a foreclosure is had without the land
owner learning OF it until it Is too
late to redeem il. Therefore. the thing
to do is to keep posted on your taxes.
All realestate in this county. on
which the 1911 taxes are now unpaid
and which is not covered by certiti-
cate of delinquency, viii be taken over
by the county within the next sixty
days. Proceedings for this are already
under way. For such land owners as
do not care to lose their lands [ would
say. please give this matter your inn
mediate attention. AS the proceedings
progress the expenses pile up. Take
time by the forelock and look after the
matter NOW
Trusting that the foregoing infor-
nation may be appreciated | am.

Another Liberty Loan bond sale is
on, and the patriotic people of the
county are invited to invest literally
therein. The aim is to make this a
popular loan. as was the first Liberty
Bond issue. These bonds are issued in
sums as low as $50 and the subscrib-
ers are permitted to pay in INSTALL
ments, and that easy means of making
the payments puts them in reach of
almost every one. The investment is
one of the most attractive ever offered
to the American people. The bonds
draw four per cent interest, the same
as is paid by most banking institu-
tons. Not only are the bonds gilt
edged security, but they are not sub
iect to taxation, which is a very i'm
portant provision in this locality
where the tax rate is so stiff as to be
burdensome. Let the people of Oroville
and vicinity invest in as many of these
bonds as possible, thereby contribute
ing toward carrying on a war which
would, should it go against us, spell
ruin to the United States. Better put
your money in safe government bonds
than have it forced out of you at the
point of foreign bayonets to pay a
crushing indemnity.

Col. Roosevelt has the courage of his
convictions, and at no time and under
no circumstances does he hesitate to
say what he thinks. Men may differ
with Col Roosevelt on political poll
cies, but they cannot question the
earnestness and sincerity of his patri-
otism, nor help admiring him for his
unwavering denunciation of those fav-
oring Germany as against the country
in which they live. The refusal of the
administration to accept his services
in the field is like a barb in the flesh
and the colonel is in a constant re-
sentful mood, but that slight has not
caused him to sulk in his tent nor to
place a single straw in the way of
conducting the war to a successful
issue. On the contrary, Col. Roosevelt's
voice is raised in clarion tones urging
fealty to the government. while hurl-
ing scat1ing denunciation upon the
heads of those in high places so lost to
honor as to lend aid and comfort to
foreign foe Last week the colonel
went into La Follette's own state, and
in plain, blunt words eXcorated that
recreant public servant for his dis
loyal utterances. There is no mincing
of words with Col. Roosevelt, and al
though he may sarcastically speak of
the war as exclusive, he believes in
carrying on that war with every ounce
of energy that can be applied to that
purpose. Col. Roosevelt is doing more
good for the country by arousing and
solidifying patriotic sentiment among
the people than he ever could accom-
plish at the head of a division on the
firing line in France

that the American boys who have
gone over to light for the Allies are
generally high intellectual and moral
character. Some of them, 1t is true,
are merely adventures, the kind of
men who must get into fight when
ever II offers. Most of them, however,
are boys of education and ideals, who
fight for the Allies because they be
lieve In human liberty, because they
have felt the call OF their blood, or
because they wish to repay the loan
