INTEREST PAID ON DEPOSITS
A Salem special ha* the following
to say In r >gard to the penalty to be
charged on taxes that become de
linquent
There ha* been much confusion In
regard to tl.e penalties to be Impos
ed In case taxes are delinquent, and
a question raised by Sheriff Will G.
Smith of Grants Pass, brought the
reply from the State Tax Commis
sion that the 10 per ront penally Im
posed September I for delinquency
auperredea and takes the place of all
prior penalties
In hla letter to the
sheriff Commissioner Charles V Gal-
lowoy of thr Tax Commission says
“ It la our opinion that 10 per cent
Is the total penalty to be added to
taxes delinquent on the first day of
September
This penally applies to
fa irs aa originally charged and la
rot In addition to the cumulative
penalty of 1 per cent a month apply
ing during the five months prior to
September 1. the date of delinquen
cy The 10 per cent penalty for de
linquency auperredea and takes the
place of all prior penalties.
"W e believe thla la Ihe clear
meaning of that part of 2883. Lords
Oregon Laws, aa amended by Chap
ter 184. law s of 1913, whlrh reads
aa follows.
'' 'All taxes remaining unpaid on
the aald first day of September shall
become delinquent. I'pon all taxes
ao delinquent there shall be charged
and collected a penalty of 10 per
cent and Interest at the rate of 12
per cent per annum on such taxes
from the day on which they become
delinquent until their payment.'
"These two sentences aa they
stand In said section 3882 are ex
actly aa written In Ihts office and
presented to the legislature
If It
had been Irtended that the 1 per
cent a month penally applicable pri
or to delinquency should be added to
and collected with the 10 per cent
penalty applicable after delinquency,
a definite statement to that effect
would have been Inserted

law, would have become delinquent

One of the most Important factors
In the production of a good crop Is
the s«-«-d bed or surface soil In which
the crop Is to be grown.
Without
the land la properly prepared for the
crop, the success of the crop planted
on It la a big gamble and the odda
are against the gambler wbo plants
the seed
There should be a good
reason for every farm operation: If
not done for a purpose, why do It?
In preparing the land for a crop
at least three thing* favorable to tbe
crop must be considered . The seed
must rest In a soil Arm enough that
that seed may come In contact with
inotst earth on all aides: the roots of
tbo plant. In growing, must be able
to obtain a good foot hold and mois
ture: and there must be enough
plant food and moisture to grow and
mature tho plants
Where water is
available for Irrigation the prepara
tion of the land la generally easier
berause not only la the soil to a cer
tain extent packed by wetting tbe
land, but also more water may be
added to the soil when the supply
therein la exhausted
However, too
much dependence upon this "soak
ing” of the land aa a means of pack
ing the soil, is a mistake (fo r there
are generally large air spaces pres
ent even after the soaking of newly
plowed land) and (he preparation
outlined below will apply generally
to Irrigated as well aa dry farming
sections.
It Is practically always beat to
prepare the land for the crop sever
al months before the land la to be
planted
Thla la for the purpose of
not only allowing the land to
thoroughly pack and make a com
plete Joint with the subsoil, but also
to allow the liberation of more plant
food for the growing of the crop. If
this Is done, a light disking or a
thorough harrowing of the land be
fore planting the crop la all that la
necessary. In this case also, tbe
seed and the plant find the condt-

M. A. Lynch of thla city, who la

What are the causes of the Aue-
tro-Servlon war?
•
The direct cauae ta the rage of
Austria at the assassination of the
Arch-duke Francis Ferdinand, hotr
to the Austrian throne, on June 28.
through a Servian plot. Austria de
livered an ultimatum to Servta de
manding the punishment of the
Archduke's alayer*. and Servla's re
ply being termed "unsatisfactory"
by the Austrian foreign office, the
latter government formally declared
war.
Hack of thla Incident, however,
lay deeper rooted causes which had
given rlae to great bitterness be
tween Austria and Hervla. In the
recent Balkan war Servla'a century-
old dream of a port on the Adriatic
was near realisation when Austria
shattered It, and »Iso forced the
Montenegrins to retire from Scutari.
Austria, through her possession of
Servian provinces, has barred the
way to the Serbs In their struggle
for unity and freedom, and Servta.
though she has thrown off the yoke
of Turkey, has been unable to win a
single subject or a foot of ground
from the dual monarchy.
This Intensified the hate of Aus
tria, which ha i been In the heart of
the Serb for six centuries, and the
assassination of the Archduke whs
the result.
