STARS AND STRIPES AT BERLIN
State Press Strongly Backs War Program--Old
Delinquent Tax Law Serves People Best
Let the present delinquent t;

Let the present delinquent tax
publication law of Oregon alone.
Whenever the voters of the state
tamper an existing statute of merit,
the inevitable result is a boomerang.
Whenever, likewise, the freak legis-
lation fends succeed in placing some
qild ETHEREAL plan on the statute
books, the voters of Oregon bear the
7urdea uuei such time as the law
can be cut of the books. Such is the
history CT freak legislation.
Get this point clear The present
aelinodent tax publication law was
devised for one purpose only-to
protect the unfortunate delinquent
taxpayer from that peculiar brand Of
social parasite known as The title
grabber. It is considered model
law by adjoining states and its
practical applicGtion las convinced
all that it is statute of merit. When
speaking Of statutes, merit can only
be measured by services rendered to
the citizens of the state.
c. S. Jackson, editor of the Port
land journal, is attempting to sub
stitute a pet scheme of his own to
replace the present law.
Glance at the differences between
the present law and the jackson cam
outage measure:
The present law provides that a
mail notice be sent to all delinquents
within certain time following the
delinquency date.
The Jackson law does likewise.
The present law, to save the delin-
quent property from the title grab
bers and scheming land attorneys,
who are always taking a chance" Oh
delinquent titles, further provides
that when the mail notices fail to
perform their function, then and only
then, may the notice be given by
publication.
The Jackson law amendment leaves
out the publication entirely, and thus
the delinquent who fails to get his
notice is entirely at the mercy of the
title grabber.
Which is the better law? Which
serves the interest of the taxpayer
best? Which is the more equitable
statute from the taxpayers view
point?
The answer is apparent to every
voter. Vote mo" on Jack
sons delinquent tax bill.

New Food Campaign.

A telegram from Her bert Hoover
to the food administrators announces
that the new food campaign which
was to begin on the 2Sth inst. has
been postponed until December 1st.
The idea that the war is about over
and that it is not necessary to con-
serve food has caused a relaxation of
effort on the part of many people.
This is serious mistake. Even if
the fighting should stop now, it will
be necessary to save every thing in
the food line. Bread stuffs, meats
and fats will be needed in larger
quantities "over there" And If the
war goes on, as it seems likely to do,
we must fulfill our pledge to "eat at
common table with our allies"
We must send to our boys and the
allies 5,730,000 tons more this year
than we sent last year, the year be-
ginning July /. We have been eat
ing an average of 6 pounds of bread
stuffs per week and pounds of meat
and fats per week per person. A
saving of half pound of each would
make up the extra amount we must
send. We can do this. We must do
it. Our slogan must be, "Save food
One hundred twenty million allies
must eat.
Do not wait for the new campaign.
Begin now to save food as you have
never saved before. See if you can
get along with one twelfth-less
bread and one eight-less meat and
fats. Our allies are shortening their
rations, but they are not complain
ing. If we wish to shorten the war,
the best way to do it is to back our
boys and our allies to the limit with
food, clothing, ammunition, and
guns.

history of the country-a time when.
if ever, the country needed to fulfil
a most important mission.
A reduction in rates cannot be met
by any newspaper at this time and
should not be asked. The present
rate is the average charge the
country over, and no attempt has
been made to increase it in spite of
the fact that everywhere cost charges
are going skyward. The present
rate was fixed by the legislature; it
is fair to the people of the state, and
fair to the country editor who is
giving his best efforts to help the
government at this time. Jackson.s
motive, under the circumstances. is
grossly selfish. Hi nefarious plan
will throttle the press OF the state at
a crucial time when the press ear
not carry further burdens. Let the
voters register an emphatic NO" to
the measures bearing the C. S. Jack
son trademark.
The press of Oregon should be
allowed to live. This is all it asks.

a big man of the nation recently,
"the newspapers of the country will

Perhaps the general public does
not know that Congress has made no
provision for the paid use of adver-
tising the loan drives. Nor have the
newspapers of the country asked for
remuneration. Loyalty they have re-
sponded in generous fashion and free
ly given their news columns and
editorial pages to the propagation of
a great cause.
True, it has been expensive bus
iness to carry out the government S

editor has needed the command of

manner that has turned the eyes Of

Nor have the country editors
finished their work. There are other

duties ahead, and until the great day
when the Stars and Stripes shall
float in Berlin, the press of Oregon
will be on the job for Uncle Sam,
without a whimper.
Operating a news plant is eXpen-

expense of handling government

is serving the people of his COM
