Through tho winter tho Fellow ship Club litis dolio nioro than tho ostensible holding of banquets nnd tho resultant talks. A roport of Treasurer It. M. Jonnlngs showed thnt moro than $81 has boon ex pended In tho Inst few mouths, giv ing food and shcltor to men out of work and down and out. All of this amount has beon raised through tho members of tho club. It Is sig nificant that only' about ?C was spout for lodgings, nnd $75 for nionls, moro thnn 300 of thorn. Last year $20 was given for theso pur poses, John D. Goss, as toastmnster, In troducing T. J. Thrift, declared It extremely Innpproprlato during hard times "to hnvo a County Assessor by the uufortunato name of Thrift." How to cut tho tax lovy and tho presentation of Interesting figures showing public oxpohdltmo of tho funds collected marked tho talk by Mr. Thrift. And immediately after ward Senator I. S. Smith and M. C. Moloney debated tho question as to whether or not delinquent taxes should bo published, tho former tak ing tho negative side. "Peoplo howl high taxes," oponod Mr. Thrift. "Tlioy did tho samo thing last year, tho year boforo nnd on back to tho first time mon band ed themselves Into a community. Fifty years from now I believe they will bo yelling on tho samo subject.'' Valuation of proporty, ho nnld, should go up. To cut tho tax lovy proporty must bo assessed on n cash valuation. Only three counties of Oregon havo a hlghor valuo of land. They nro Multnomuh, Hood River ami Jackson Counties. "Why nro wo fourth?" ho was naked. "Bocauso our lnnd Is worth It," replied Mr. Thrift. Seventy Thousand Lots, In 1002 tlicro wero 13,000 lots In tho county; In 191G there, aro moro than 70,000 lots. Taxes havo ralsod becauso tho county has grown blggdr and in its growth has boon forced to support a poor farm with 30 Inmates, a full county Jnl and several needy widows on tho penslou list. Ouo Million Untaxed Acres. Thoro nro 1,000,000 acres of un taxable land In Coos County. Tho Valuation In 1914 Wns lbwor than In 1913 becauso In tho latter year much of tho timber lnnd was assess- ctl on estltiiatos, "guesses," Mr. Thrift called thorn, and tho Board !ot Kqunllxntloti cut thorti down $700,000. "1 nln nccuscd often of botng un fair," said Mr. Thrift, "I do make mistakes. It Is only reasonable that soma should bo mado it ouo stops to consldor tho magnltudo of tills work, the assessing of every square foot of land In tho county." Ouo Merchant Shows Invoice. Only ouo merchant in Mnrshflold showed tho County Assessor his In voice "Most of them, nnd they are uo different hero than In any other place In tho county or state, gen erally tell mo," ho said, "how poor business has been and how much less stock thoy nro carrying this year than last. And It's funny, too," ho continued, "whon you may hnp pon to know that thoy uro carrying more." As a Just means of fixing valua tions, Mr. Thrift recommended tho selection of n commltteo to work with each Incoming Assessor, evory four years, to go over tho land nnd then to allow theso valuations to re main tho samo for four years with annual changes for Improvements and tho like. Mr. Thrlft'a talk was extremely Interesting and ho was 1 vigorously applauded at Its conclu sion. "Senator Smith has boon spending . all this money oUr friend Joff has ueeu assessing." said Toastmaster John D. Goss. "Wo ought to give him a chanco to toll us how ho ex pects to savo It."

This, he said, would bo n conaldor nb'o saving and claimed It would bo with bettor results. "Tho published (ax list docs not reach all people," ho argued, "bo cnuso not all of (hem tnko tho pa pert." Taxes becomo delinquent goneinlly becauso tho owner is un nblu to pay them. "And for this potorty tho owner la taxed. Wo fine him for being poor." Senator Smith Mould havo tho papers publish a general notice only, Just boforo taxes become- delinquent. Lfttors from Shorlffs and tax col lectors of various counties of tho stnto wore Introduced to showthat tt'o majority favorod tho personal loiter system of wnrnlng tho delin quents. It cost $1000 to publish theso notices In Marlon County last year. Klamath County, 8000 pop ulation, paid $1028 for this pur poso." Answers In Affirmative. Answering the argument of Sena tor Smith from tho nffirmatlvo sldo M, C. Maloney explained thnt from tho time printing was first Invcntod, tho press has boon tho volco of tho peoplo and has over kopt In (ho lead of civilization. In this wlso lias tho public grown to roly on tho newspapers. "Tho Senator has contrndlctod blmsolf," ho said. "Ho would abol ish publishing theso notices, clnlmlng ninny do not read tho papers. If this Is so, thon why does ho wnnt n gonornl nottco published? It Is Inconsistent." Figures woro shown stating that sterol yenra ago In an Iowa paper the tax notices used to cover six ind eight pages, whcreaB last year they covered botween threo and four columns only. "This Is n dlroct re sult of newspaper publishing." de clared -Mr. Mnlouoy. "Yml enn sco f6r yb'iirnolt how tho syatofn1 has Worlcod." i ' L. D. SMITH of Dnnlols Crook was In Mnrsh fluid Monday. W.
