tomary commercial rates for public
business; and insofar as such charges
have been made by any paper, they
are excessive and dishonest, and may
appropriately be denounced as graft.
But We do not think that 1t is dis
honorable or unworthy for journals
as a class to seek the public business
on the same terms as private busi-
ness; and we do not think that pub
fishers or editors who regard their
pages as sound media for publication
of public notices d: any kind are
grafters. We think rather more of
such a newspaper than of the other
kind which discredits its own pro-
fession and discounts its own service
to its readers and to the public by
preferring postal-card publicity to
newspaper publicity
The legislature ought not to be
dragooned into hasty or costly action
in this business. Let there be due
consideration of the question on its
broad merits. There ought to be
publicity of delinquent tax lists, on
fair terms, and it ought to be uni
form in method and reasonable in
cost If it is worth while to county
to take the best means of avoiding
general delinquencies, and of making
the most satisfactory and expeditions
disposition of such properties after
delinquency, it will not abandon the
present scheme of public notice.

Indian Agent Holds
Auto With Booze

A. T. (Buck) Anderson, a promi-
nent klamath stockman, arrested a
few days ago charged with introduc-
ing liquor on the Indian reservation,
is suing the Indian agent for the re-
covery of his automobile, which was
seized with the alleged stock Of
liquor carried In the machine. An
derson will be given a preliminary
hearing before the United States COM
missioner at klamath Falls when the
federal prosecutor arrives from Port
land.
Anderson, who lived on an Indian
allotment feeding stock, was arrested
on the charge of carrying into the
reservation two demijohns and two
bottles, all filled with liquor, in his
auto, and under an old statute that
provides for the confiscation of any
vehicle carrying liquor into Indian
reservations, the auto was seized and
is held for confiscation. In his suit
for recovery Anderson also asks for
$4O0 damages.

Ashland, Ore, Monday, Jan. 20, Il;
DELINQUENT TAX PUBLICATION.

Portland Oregonian: A repeated
charge that the newspapers Of Ore
gon are the patrons and beneficiaries
OF graft in the publication by a Port
land paper, the Journal, which has
set out to secure repeal of the present
law authorizing publication and the
substitution of notice to delinqueats
by postal cards. Why not by the
town crier?
The present law requires publica-
tion In Multnomah county in news
papers" Of 10000 or more circular
ton, and the district attorney has in
terpreted the statute to mean all pa
pers able to qualify. Undoubtedly 1t
is wasteful and unnecessary to print
the list in four newspapers. But 1t
is sound policy and true economy to
give public notice that taxes on cerr
tain properties are delinquent and
not to follow a plan of mere private
notice to the owners.
II can not reasonably be contended
that the only duty the county has
when the delinquent property is to
be offered for sale is to drop note
in the mails to the man or woman
who has failed In his payments. Pub
lication Of the delinquent list is a
most important step in the process
leading to sale of the property. 1t
would appear to be desirable, for
obvious reasons, to have that fact
well known. Moreover, knowledge
that ones property will be advertised
tor non-payment of taxes is a direct
incentive to prompt payment. We
believe any experienced tax collector
will give his testimony to that effect.
Assertion by newspaper that adr
vertisement, or publication, in a pub
lie journal Is without value Is a
strange thing, and may be set down
to sheer alteration or perversity Of
mind, or jealous and spiteful pur-
pose to withhold such publication
from other newspapers, at any cost to
itself.
For the public and for newspapers
in general, the Oregonian insists that
publication on their pages is far more
effective and profitable than any un-
certain process Of private notifica-
tion through the mails or otherwise.
No newspaper is justified in charging
the state or county more than its Gus

ELECTRIC MORALS.

The campaign inaugurated by the
city authorities to reduce the unpaid
current loss in the city has revealed
a most unusual state of affairs. Unr
usual not alone in the surprises
which have greeted the crew which
is doing the fusing, but also in that
a most remarkable attitude toward
the use of current has been revealed.
And the attitude is not confined to
few but is general throughout the
city. Citizens whose characters and
morals are above reproach and whose
minds would revolt at the very idea
of taking anything which was not
theirs have paid little or not atten-
tion to electric light current matters.
They have unthinkingly hitched on
a couple of extra lights or a toaster
or stove without bothering to give
the matter more than a second
thought and without the least inten-
tion Of wrongdoing or realization
that they were taking a marketable
commodity worth money, Perhaps
the attitude has grown up through
out the city because of the fact that
the city owns the electric light plant
and every citizen regards the plant
and all it manufactures to be his
without question to do with as he
pleases.
Now that the public has begun to
understand the true status Of affairs
the attitude has undergone a sweep
ing change and most gratifying tear
ture o. the change is the good grace
with which the citizens are endeavor-
ing to make things right. Many ap-
plianccs which have been in use are
being reported daily, and offers to
make right any loss which the city
may have sustained are frequent,
showing that the fault lay in lack a.
understanding rather than in inten-
tional wrongdoing. The city electri-
cal officials are accepting the chang
es in the spirit which they are given
and erasing the past. When the en-
tire city is either fused or metered
everyone will have clean slate and
a new start, and with an understands
ing of what the current lost means
in money to the city, the electrical
department will have fuller co-opera-
tion from the people and smoother
shedding in the future.

Cigarettes and COffins.

During the year 1916 the govern
ment levied a tax upon 25,232,960,-
92S cigarettes, according to recent
report. Probably as many more were
rolled by the smoker out of the
"makin's." Every time you smoke
a cigarette you drive nail in your
coffin" says the time-honored adage.
A local undertaken tells us that many
coffins are glued, nearly all are put
together with screws, and but few
with nails. Even if nails were used
a maximum estimate would be about
100 nails to tho coffin. At that rate
25,O00,00C residents of the United
States built their coffins last year.
