MRS. ADAIR HAS
DEMONSTR ATED
REAL EFFICIENCY

Mrs. Josephine VI. AIair holds
AN unusual position for Il woman,
that of county treasurer. One can
not appreciate her efficiency, her
,,stcm and the kecnne3s Of her
idc 5 unless he has talked 10 her
personally concerning her work.
The simple efficiency aud &ccu
racy Of the bool; keeping system
put into use Will she WAS u dc
Tutv and which she has continued
usirG has been remarked upon
many times as have many other
details Of her off'.e system. one
Of tie most impnttant If which is
her policy toward personal checks
IN regard to redemption of deGn-
quent property.
1t was formerly the custom when
the auditor handled redemptions
and had the records which he could
cancel in case of n: S. F. check
to accept Il personal check from a
person redeeming property from the
delinquent tax list and "a receipt
was given upon payment by check.
The treasurer office being cash
office and having no records IN
regard to delinquent taxes, il is not
possible for the treasurer TO cancel
Il receipt when once given, therefore
she cannot accept personal checks
unless certified. But she can, and
does accept money orders or bank
checks.
Personal Checks Not Taken
If personal check should be re-
turned to her by bank there would
be no way this could be handled
except by covering it with her per
sonal account which might not be
large enough to cover Il check of
| large amount. Mrs. Adair realizing
that personal check cannot al
ways be depended upon, decided tc
take no personal checks i'll pay
mcnt of property redemption and
| has enforced this rule strictly with
stranger and friend alike. The re-
suit is that she can balance her
books ut any moment and know ac-
curatelv Just how they stand and
with the further result that a re-
ceipt from the treasurer S office is
recognized as definite receipt by
all abstract companies in transfer
of property or looking up of re-
cords.
Another result of her refusal to
take personal checks, and one which
is Il gain to the county, is the fact
! that since there are no "comr-
backs the bank accepts the trca-
surcr's daily deposit and pays in
! tercst amounting to . per cent on
the daily account, an arrangement
which was made by Mrs. Adair
since She went into office.
The saving in money and encr
gy in this policy will be readily I'M
derstood when one considers that
last wear Mrs. Adair took in almost
$lS7, 900 in redemptions and since
May | of this year the amount has
reached $4,000.

by United Press Leased Wire

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. H.
Suit for moe than $7,000,000 against
trustees and the estate of the late
Henry Miller, California land and
cattle baron, was on file in the fed
eral court here today. The govern
ment is seeking that amount ON al
legations that Miller, prior to his

imatcly $40,000,000 worth OF his
holdings in AN effort. to avoid pay
mcnt Of Inheritance taxes by his
estate.
The governments complaint holds
that Miller made his last will ON
April II, 1913, and on the same day
executed document purporting TO
be deed of trust by which he CON
veycd all his holdings to those who
were later named as trustees of his
estate. This was done solely for
the purpose of evading Inheritance
taxes, the complaint charges.
