Tho tax due then becomes a lien

A total amount of $432.16 is
due in Lane county, according to
announcement following receipt of
21 unpaid warrants received from
Earl L. Fisher, state tax commis-
sioner. The amounts range from
52 cents to $147.74, the latter be

Lumber company, now in the hands
of a receiver.
All those named on warrnnts
will be notified that the state tax
is due and if not paid that personal

Paying a tax on incomes for
1923 is not exactly a cheerful pro
cess even during the Christmas
season, but it must be done, ac
cording to the edict from the state
tax official.
