(To the Edi tor,) "Please state when our itate, county and city taxes become delin quent. 1 would suggest to the assessor that tbls information be printed on the tax statement, also the penalty, etc.! as they do oyer in Washington. Tax PAYKH." It ii never known for any length of time in advance when the collection of taxes can be commenced, so it can never be told just when the taxes will be declared delinquent. This renders it impracticable to have the Informa tion printed on the notices as suggeste 1. The law defines March 1 as the time when the collection of taxes shall be commenced, and June 1 as the time when they shall become delinquent, but the county court and sheriff have power tochange (hose dales, and also to ex tend the time allowed for taxes to be paid in, and usually the date upon which they are to be declared delin quent is advanced more than once. The reason for not declaring these taxes delinquent were hard times and the increased levy caused by the great falling off in values, especially in Os wego, on account of the closing of the O. I. & 8. Co's. operations. The col leclion of taxes is usually commenced in April, as soon as the roll lias been extended. It is not likely that taxes will be declared delinquent for eotu lirnt- Should Sheriff Maddock, how ever, full to be re elected, it la probable axes will be declared delinquent soon after June 1, as it will be Decessary for him to close the rolls at once in order to get the delinquent list made out and be ready to turn his office over to his successor on July 1. To the Votera of Justiee'a District No. 4 Section 2145. Hill's Code, provide that upon a conviction in a justice' court, of a criminal offence, the justice must enter judgment against the de fendent, that b be imprisoned in the county jail, and pay the costs of the action, or that he pay a line and sue costs. Section 2148 provdes that certified copy of the entry of judgment shall be deemed an execution against io property of the defendent for the purpose of collecting such fine tnd costs Section 21S0 provides that any money paid to the justice upon a judgment in criminal action must first be applied to the costs, and the remainder paid to the county treasurer. It has been , the practice in justice'; courts in ' Clackamas county to enter udgment aeainst the defendant for the fine, but not for the costs; so that, in every instance where the costs have amounted to more than the line, the taxpayers have been called upon to pay the difference, with no possibility of reimbursement. Whereas a cotnp liance ith the law, by entering judgment for costs in criminal cases, applying the first money paid upon the costs and mi prisoning the defendant for unpaid bal ance as the fine (instead of fining him five or ten dollars and turning him loose on payment of that amount), and by en forcing the judgment against the pre perty of the defendant for collection of fine and costs, where he has property subject to execution, would injure the recovery by Ihe county of the greater portion of all expenses in criminal caeei in justices courts, as is the case in other counties in the state: while under the existing practice the county never re ceives a dollar from such cases, unless it happens that the fine amounts to more than the costs, and is paid by the defendant. I pledge myself, it elected justice of the peace of the Fourth District on next Monday, to correct this evil so far as in my power, by a strict compliance with the law . John C. Kei.lkr Populists' False Position VlTV, 0HEO0.N, Jacobs. Coxey, the commonwealnr, in an interview claims that the populist stand for free silver is false. , The dem ocratic of Oregon is the only party that has a free silver plank in its platform. Ml". Coxey says : "In December, 1804, Chairman Taub eneck, of the populist party, and Gen eral Weaver made an arrangement with the silver men to tie up the popu list party; to discard the Omaha plat form and join in a lengthy wrangle over the question of the free coinage of silver.at the ratio of 10 tol. Mr. Taub eneck issued a call for a meeting of the national committee to meet at St. Louis. "The conference was held and an ef fort was made to turn the same into the interest of the free coinage of silver, but a majority of the convention would not approve of such action. Then the populist' national committee held a se cret meeting, and refused to recognize the majority of the St. Louis convention that had been requested to meet and consider the question. "During the past four or five months 1 have been corresponding with a num ber of populists in Oregon, who wanted me to t omo to this state, and take part in the June campaign. I offered to come, lien J. c. loung, chairman of the populist state central committee, wrote me a letter, advising that I should not come to Oregon. This was done at the.instigation of Taubeneck, chair man of the national committee, and General Weaver, who were scheming with the Oregon state committee to run the campaign on a tree-silver jua, and to totally ignore the Omaha plat form. I wrote Mr. Young that I was coming, anyway, and be wrote me another letter, requesting that I would not come, to which I replied that I was beaded for Oregon, nor of some of the atate central nothing would deter me from coming. Then he wrote to the various county committee requesting them not to recognise or assist me in any way, I am satisfied that the ex perience of this year will teach the populists tbat in the future they will not allow two of three men to run the business of the populists. For the past 20 years the populists have been con demning the democrats and republicans for electing 278 lawyers and bankers to congress, and only two farmers, and yet the populists of Oregon, after all this have elected a lawyer for secretary, and another for treasurer for their atate central committee. "The populists outBide of Oregon will be greatly surprised that the coram ittee here have withdrawn a legislative can didate and put in his stead the secretary of ll e republican state central com mi tee. The people of Oregon can draw their own conclusions as to what th means. It simply means tbat thoBe composing the populist committees in Oregon are not real populists, but are ulavinK into the hands of the Mitchell republicans." " THE FACTS IN THE CASE. To the Ed. tor: I notice in last week issue of The Herald a statement of the cost of the various county officers that leads to erroneous conclusions. The figures given coyer a period running three mouths before the present admin iteration began, during which three months the fee system prevailed in most of the offices. So, of course, the state ment does not give a true idea of the cost of the officers under the salary svsteni of the prepent term . There is another matter concerning which there is mistaken impression abroad, as it is based on the official statements compiled in my office I would like to call attention to a fact that will make ' this feature a 1 ittle clearer. The semi-annual statement of the county finances, issued March 31, 1896, showed the face value of warrants outstandni to be $140,728.07, the estimated accrued interest on which was $18,549.17 ; Some people got the idea that this interest estimate was the sum actually paid in one year for interest, and from that wronir premise they reason that the county must be in dent a great ioai more than the official statement shows for $18,549.17 would pay 8 per cent in terest one year on $231,864 62, It should be remembered, however, that the county is more than three years bebiud in the redemption of warrants, the last call of the treasurer paying only to January 11. 1893. Interest on these warrants is not paid annually as on bonds, but the interest for the whole time the warrants have run is paid when they are called in by the treasurer, principal and all accrued interest paid at one time. So some of the outstand ing warrants nave more than tnree years accumulated' interest to be pro vided for, and the subsequent issues have less and less interest, down to hose just issued. The estimated intei est in the official statement of the county's financial condition is what would be required to wipe out the en tire interest charge against the county if the county were able to pay at once every warrant tbat is out those more than three years old as well as those just issued. I make this statement merely as in formation from this office due to the public on points that seem to have mis understood bv many . Geo. F. Horton, County Clerk, REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS.

GOOD RESULTS OF THE FREE IMPOR TATION OF WOOL. Domestic Manufacture Greater In Quan tity and Better In Quality Than Ever Before Warm Clothing Cheap and Abun dant A Preventive of Disease. In spite of the growing contentment tf the country with the aotual tariff, the Republicans, in their despair of harmony on the currency question, ap pear resolved to keep np agitation for higher protective duties. A calamity organ howls over the large importation of woolens in 1895 as if the like had never happened in the country before, when, in fuot, these importations amounted in value in 1890 to $56,582, 432, at au average duty of 80 per cent When the dnty was raised by the Mo Kinley tariff to 100 per cent, these im portations declined in value in 1891 to 141,060,080. In 1895 the importations of woolens amounted in value to $60, 000,000, at an average duty of a little less than 50 per cent. The larger im portations of .1895 cost at the custom house a little less than f 90,000,000, and the much smaller importations of 1891 cost nearly a similar sum. When the goods passed from the importers to the wholesale dealers and the retailers, and finally to the consumers, the difference lu cost was nearly ll not altogether el- faced. In other words, the American consumers are obtaining a great deal more warm, comfortable and pure wool en olothing for a great deal less money. But the same calamity organ asserts, without proof or rather in face of proof to the contrary that a great deal of the woolen goods now imported is "of the most unsatisfactory kind. " This assertion is made on the gratuitous as sumption that the American people are suoh poor judges of the qualities of their wearing apparel that they are easily im posed upon by the cheap and flimsy stuffs that are brought from abroad. It goes on the further assumption that the importers, merchant tailors and dress makers do not hesitate to cheat their customers with these "shoddy" stuffs, when much better of home production could be obtained. If the manufacturers, merchants, im porters, tailors, dressmakers and con sumers of the United States could be enmuiontd, there is no doubt that by an overwhelming majority they would tes tify tbat the woolen clothing, both of domestio and foreign production, was better, purer, cheaper and more abun dant in 1895 thau in uuy former year in the country's history. The proofs of this lie on the surface on either hand. The mannfuctnres of domestic woolens of nearly every description were in far greater quantity and of far better qual ity than in auy former year. As sub stantial evidence of the truth of this statement the consumption of wool, do mestio and foreign, in the American mills last year was much greater and of much finer qualities than ever before. The prodncts of this wool are not lying unsold in warehouses, but have gone to cover the backs of 70,000,000 of Ameri can men, women and children in this inclement winter. If the assertions of the calamity bowlers had been true, the enormous quantities of fine wools of Aus tralia and Argentina could not have been j importedjind made into good against A flood of foreign woolen manufactures. On the other hand, the increased im portations of foreign fabrics of wool have supplemented the domestio produc tion. Without these importations the Amerioan people would have been sub ject to great discomfort and hardship for want of sufficient woolen stuffs to meet their increased demands. The reduction of duty from 100 to 50 per cent has stimulated the importation of woolens to a considerable degree. At the same time the free admission of wool has stimulated tho domestio production of woolen goods to a far greater extent The American millions are enjoying the benefits of both movements in the excel lence, variety, cheapness and abundanoe of their winter olothing. As a further and most important con sequence of this great revolution there is no doubt that the remarkable health which the American people enjoyed last year and aro now enjoying has been and is due in a very large degree to the cheapness and abundance of their sup plies of woolen apparel Instead of go ing to the doctor for a pill or a bolus, or to the druggist for a patent medioine, upon every fresh attack of cold or rheu matism, they have prescribed for them selves more warm blankets, flannels and underwear as a preventive of the dis eases tbat are so frequent in the vari able climates of the United States. By returning to high duties on wool, and still higher taxes on woolen clothing, the Amerioan people would grievously sin against themselves in both pocket and health. We do not believe they will be guilty of so great an offense. Phila delphia Beoord. Neither Honest Nor Satisfactory. "The national convention will have to do better on the mouey question than did the Ohio Republicans," says the Philadelphia Inquirer, Republican, which characterizes the Ohio plank as "not honest, because it is meaningless. It is nothing bnt a paraphrase of the na tional plank, and it is unsatisfactory." Money Backing A-Plenty.
