Glance at the difference between
the present law and the Jackson
eamouflage measure;
The present law provides that a
mail notice be sent to all delinquents
within a certain time following the
delinquency date.
The Jackson law does likewise.
The present law, to save the delin-
auent property from the title grab
bers and scheming land attorneys
who are always taking a chance" on
delinquent titles. further provides
that when the mail notices fail to
perform their function, then and on
ly 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
thinking voter. Vote mo" on Jack
sons delinquent tax bill.

The Deadly Niohtshade.

Deadly nlghtshade. which Is cult
waited to supply the English market
with atroplne, bears a botanical
name. Atropa belladonna, curiously
appropriate to Its qualities. evil and
good, combining the name OF the
most dreaded of the Fates-Atro-
pos, whose function was to cut the
thread of human llfe-with the 1tal-
fan for a beautiful woman. One OF
the most curious facts concerning
the poison of the nightshade Is Its
much more potent effect upon hu-
man beings than on animals. for
though deaths from eating the ber-
ries are fairly common among chill
dren, the birds eat and thrive on
them, and the leaves, almost equal
ly dangerous to man, seem innocu-
GUS to horses. sheep, pigs, rabbits,
and other animals, which browse
upon them freely. The frequent oc-
currence Of nightshade in the neigh
borhood of ruined abbeys and mon
astic houses makes II reasonable to
believe that many Of the wild plants
are survivors from monkish herb gar
dens.

WHICH LAW SERVES PEOPLE
BEST?

Let the present delinquent tax
publication law of Oregon alone.
Whenever the voters of the state
tamper with an existing statute of
merit, the inevitable result is a
boomerang. Whenever, likewise, the
freak legislation fiends succeed in
placing some wild ethereal plan on
the statute books, the voters of Ore
gon bear the burden until such time
as the law can be cut off the books
Such is the history of freak legisla-
ton.
Get this point clear. The present
delinquent 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. 1t is considered a model
law by adjoining states and its prac'
tical application has convinced al
that it is a statute of merit. Wher
speaking of statutes, merit can only
be measured by services rendered tt
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 t
replace the present law.
