Wtoi TaxtrAra Dellatjaiat.
Oregon City, Mar 29. (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 .

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

Neither Honest Nor Satisfactory.
"The national convention will have

which characterizes the Ohio plank as
"not honest, because it is meaningless.
It is nothing bnt a paraphrase of the na
