With another "Y" girl, for can teen workers are assigned in pnirs, she will be sent to a Y" hut across the sea to mako a home for the American soldiers. By her pros ence and with little feminine artist- ry, the canteen' worker supplies the home touch that means so much to cur boys in a strange land.

Huc'i is the Jackson delinquent tax bill, There uru those who Intimate that Jackson's euorgy in working for the hill Is uue to the fact tint his Portland Journal has been overlooked In the publication of Multnomah lists in the days gone by, and that Jils spleen against the present .Matute U Insured through peisy Jealousy In the Portland newspaper field. This may or may not. be the case. ' The present tax n't ...an m law l'ci Oregon Is the idea! measure If public service may b3 . coiufiilerul practical and devhel to protml the tax-payer from tin title jtirtb 6Ws !and5 qflier Vtiitu'-jbi. ' . Briefly, It ' provides -tiittt 'hojicet be sent by the tax . collector through, the liuall to every delinquent taxpayer with ing 90 days fiom tho laro of deliu iluency. Then, an-1 t;n'y then, to roach those whom r.he mils havo failed Vto reach, the lav; provides that publication shall bo mad! )n the newspapers. Can any plan be fairer? Could t.iere be any bettor slionu to pro tect the unfortunate delinquent from the malicious cuimln; of the tux title grabber, -who . loves to work In the dark? Now comes Mr. Jackson nml the Portland attorney and Inlliato a bill to abolish the publication. H requires no particular mental, acu men to see the result, to note the splendid opportunity for the tit'o grabbers and their letal friends to quietly "clean up" on those who have failed to receive notice. The oretically tho scheme looks fino on paper, - So did tho single tnx. So did other bits of; freak legislation that1, have , been turned down cold by. thinking voters. Jackson -would have the tax col lector send tho notice through tho mall as he does now under the present law. The law makesi the burden obligatory- on your part to keep him notified of any and all changes In your nddrcss; other wise you lose your defense in case of foreclosure and cannot plead lack of notice. In othor words, you are left holding the sack. To add Insult to. Injury, Jackson would make the tax collector personally j liable to keep properly posted on your address. Briefly stated, you must keep the tax collector posted nt all times, or lose; If Undo Sam falls to deliver the notice, as often happens, well, you lose again; If the tax collector fulls to do his part; you lose a third time and the poor collector loses, also. Can you beat it? Jackson's scheme would end with the sending of notice by the collector. The recent law provides I for exactly the same scheme as j that of Jackson, but goes a step further In the direction of common I sense and requires the tax collec- i tor to publish the list which is' silll delinquent after Jackson's me-' thbd has been tried out, thus giv ing the essential publicity to'pro-. tcct the delluquent from the wiles ; of the tax title grabber and the tax lawyer. Of course thesto latter; gentlemen are working tooth and luenall lor the law and bellevo they 1 can put It over this fall, under the much abused banner of "economy" 1 so called. - Certainly there could be no fair-1 or, more equitable scheme than the ' present law. Let well enough alone and help the state of Oregon protect the holdings of Its peo- j pie from the tax vultures.
