Delinquent Tax Publications.

If the publication of DELINQUENT
taxes had not been found an effective
means of securing payment from
laggard citizens the system would
been eliminated long ago. The
system has been enforced in most all
states of the Union for years and
years, and it will continue to be en-
forced, simply because of it's value
as means of promoting govern
mental efficiency.
If you doubt what we have to say
about the effectiveness of the publ
cation of delinquents, visit the city
recorder of most any town and ask
him what he thinks about such law.
City streets are built and sewers
laid by the issue of bonds, refunded
by assessments on individual prop
erty holders. Just as the law of
Oregon now provides with regard to
delinquent taxes, the property owner
is first notified by mail of his assess
ment. We believe he receives sever
al mail notices, and then, if he
happens to be laggard, the notice
of delinquency of assessment is pub
lished in newspapers. In more than
so per cent of the cases, when prop
erty owners learn that the news
papers have been given, or are going
to be given the notices of their delin
quency they hustle in and pay. 1t
is often the case that the notice is
already in type. This is also true Of
delinquent taxes. Many owners pay
up to keep their names from the
delinquent list.
The Portland Journal, fathering
the i-delinquent tax publication
bill, weeps over the condition of the
poor who cannot raise tax money
Certainly it is pitiful, this condition.
No rose but has it's thorn, and some
times the reaches of most laws, rules
necessary to maintain the standards
of society, seem cruel.
The Journal sheds such crocodile
tears as balm to the great public that
it processes to love. The Journal
has cultivated to a high degree of
efficiency this palavering, and it has
become a mighty asset. But do you
know, the Journal of a single tax
leaning, has never gone on record
unequivocally for many things OF
many measures? The lance of this
modern knight errant, battling from
astride the fence, is free one. 1t is
backing this anti delinquent tax pub.
lication bill. however, even to the
extent of villifying, honest Oregon
country journalism. 1t is easy to gel
the ear of the public on such g
matter. Under the guise of iightine
the battles of taxpayers, whose rights
are really preserved under the law
that is fought, it may be easily
possible for the Journal-fathereC
measures to slip through. 1t viii
give that publication prestige thai
it never before enjoyed, and it may
bring about deluge of freal
measures, hobbies of an idealist

suspecting Oregon electorate.-Hoot
