uue to the fact tint his Portland
Journal has been overlooked In the
publication of Multnomah lists in

U Insured through peisy Jealousy
In the Portland newspaper field.
This may or may not. be the case.

iluency. Then, an-1 t;n'y then, to
roach those whom r.he mils havo

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. Watch
for the Jackson label at the-coni
ng election and swat tho measures i

SHERRY'S
An American's sacrifice of life
and all it holds, dear toMiim, to
rave his countrymen and learn the
secrets of the G'orman- spy system
fenhs the theme ' of-the' stirring
William Fox production , "The Spy,''
which, wilh'Dustln Farfniiin In the
ltind, comes to the Sherry ..Theater
today and tomorrow .' :.
Duatin Farnum, one of -the few
popular men stars of 'the 'screen,
plays the role of Mark QUalntance,
o. man of wealth and social posi
tion, who undertakes the hazardous
task of gaining a Hstr-of the Teu
tonic spies In the United Sites.
In Berlin he finds it necessary
tc enroll himself among these spies
before he can learn ' where the
book containing their names is
kept. , Then he' gets possession of
it and sends it- -to the American
Ambassador, while' he, himself Is
court-martialed. '
The odd feature about this thrill
ing drama is that it contains all the
vigor and excitement of war, with
out a single battle scene being
flashed on the screen. Kealizlng
that the public has a surfeit of
such views, the Fox company ar
ranged its story in such fashion that
II was fourid unnecessary to fire a
siLgle shot during the taking of
tho picture.
In the cast are, besides Dustln
Farnum, Winifred Kingston. Chas.
Clary, William Burress, Howard
Gnye and William E. Lowry.
