Delinquent Tax Law
Saved This Mans Home
THE Daily Oregonian.l J


Portland, Oct. 26.-(To the Editor.)
Recommendation by the chamber of
commerce upon the questions submit
ted TO the voters for decision at the
November election seems to me wise
and timely. Personally, the writer has
not had time to give the study that
some of these questions should receive,
but personal experience has enabled me
to speak positively upon at least one.
Through the publication of the de-
linquent tax notice was apprised of
the danger Of having my old family
home IN Oregon City sold for taxes.
The agent for the property, who looked
after it for me, through an oversight,
failed to pay the taxes. When adver-
tised, friend saw the advertisement,
and knowing that was in the east at
the time, took the trouble to ascertain
my address and wrote promptly and in

erty. In this instance the owner or
the property felt secure in having per-
formed all of the duties Of good citl- =
zen, supposed the taxes had been paid,
and would have been put to consider
able expense and annoyance but for the
advertisement Of delinquency. ~
The present law seems effective 10
its operation, in this instance for the
benefit Of the property owner who was
delinquent. Firmly believing in the
maxim coined by Woodrow Wilson,
that "the white light Of pitiless pub
licityn is one of the cures for public
ills, / shall vote against the "delin-'
quent tax notice bill.'

claimed. as he pumped my hand up

away" and l had to sit right down
and tell him and half u dozen other
people In the bank all about my ex-
periences.
1 had been In England about five
days when I received telegram
which. at first, occasioned me almost
as much concern as the unexpected
sight of a German spiked helmet had
caused me in Belgium. 1t read as
follows:

Corps, Regents Palace Hotel, Lon

me and wished me the best OF luck.
and we both said "Good-by."
In the adjoining room l met Earl
Cromer again. and as he accompanied
me to the door seemed to be surprised
at the length of my visit.

and a sentry outside came smartly to
attention. Perhaps they figured had
