Objections to the delay in surfacing the road near Ufciah
are voiced by the Pendleton East Oiegoninn with the com
ment that the people of Oregon expect roads for their money,
not alibis. That's what everyone thinks when a pet stretch
of highway is under consideration but one of the peculiar
things about highway building is inability of the highway
commission to buy two million dollars worth of construction
for only one million. It all takes time. And when there nre
delays The Observer finds there are Usually many good
reasons for them when an investigation is really made.
Each year The Observer receives more and more compli
ments on the work of Mis. Heth Bailey McLean in the Cook
ing School. Surely the community is fortunate that such n
competent and charming home economist can be brought
here for these sessions. U is not only new recipes but new
methods, new ideas that every interested housewife appre
ciates. The wonder is that any one can cook, demonstrate
foods, and carry on an instructive, entertaining lecture at
the same time as expertly as docs Mrs. McLean. The school
was an uii'iualified success and The Observer is very appre
ciative of Mis. McLean's work and of the co-operation of
business firms who helped make the school possible.
(iOINt; KASY ON TAX DELINQUENTS
In Deschutes county the effort to meet owners of delin
quent tax property half way and keep the property on the
rolls by canceling some of the past due tax bill is not working
out satisfactorily. At any rate there seems to be a tendency
on the part of more nronertv owners to let their Ihviw hnpnmn
delinquent in the hope that they won't have to nav them at
1,11.
Some individuals have defended this practice of handling
delinquent tax accounts, saying that it is similar to business
policies which argue that it is better to collect ten cents on
the dollar than to collect nothing at all. That is true in
business but it is a practice that cannot be followed in tax
matters because there is no chance to control future credit
and the same delinquent may easily impose upon his county
creditor again.
The man who is unable to pay taxes on his property and
the man who is unable to pay other just debts are both in
the same boat. They must forfeit their property to satisfy
those obligations. The county, which is the creditor In the
first case, and the business man, who is a frequent creditor
in the second, do not want to take that property except as a
last resort. It is usually depreciated in value, expensive to
handle, lacking in income producing qualities.
The business man prefers to settle on any other reasonable
basis if possible and sec to it that the delinquent is given
no more credit until his ability to pay is firmly established
again. Hut the county can't take such precautions. It must
take title to the property or be forever bothered with delin
quent tax accumulations. If a settlement is reached, it can
not prevent the former properly owner who didn't pay his
taxes from becoming a property owner again and repealing
the performance. And the fact that he got off easy one time
encourages the delinquent to try again.
There are many inequalities in property taxation but we
don't want them extended so that the conscientious property
owner pays his taxes promptly while his neighbor is allowed
special privileges through inability to pay. Any public policy
of that nature will eventually destroy the whole structure of
property ownership and taxation. Taking title to property
to satisfy delinquent taxes is not profitable for the county
but it is protective. It is the only way the county can keep
property owners on a reasonable basis of equality.
