Ex-Pepnty Sheriff Harkett Eidalns Some Tai
JUtlers.
To tuk Editos:
Your Issue of August 10 contains a com
munication from one Cascdy, under the
caption of "Wants to Know," that I am glnd
to eiplain, and, I hope, to his satisfaction.
It should have been attended to ere this,
but I have Just returned, from a trip on the
Sound and could not before. To go Into de
tails: It seems to be the general practice
throughout the state for the sheriff, in tax
ing costs to delinquent taxpayers, to charge
mileage to the land and back to court house
as against each and every Individual tax
payer. 1 have made every effort to find out
the general practice throughout the state,
and with the result above stated. During
our first year we followed this general prac
tice, but It always seemed to me that the
practice was wholly wrong, in that those
living at a great distance from the county
seat, and oftentimes those least able to
carry the burden, were made to pay more
than their Just proKrtion of cosU. During
our 13 collections I consulted Deputy Dis
trict Attorney C. II. Dye as to whether I
could not take the actual mileage as charged
by the sheriff nd divide this by the num
ber of levies and so make a general average
of the burden. He thought this would nut
necessarily alH'ct the levies. It was thus
found that 10 cents per levy would be am
ple protection for the county to reimburse
it for the mileage as charged by the sheriff.
Thus, when this plan was adopted, each
taxpayer had but 40 cents mileage to pay,
when heretofore it sometimes ran upas
high as 8, owing, ol course, to the distance
the proiietty happened to lie from town
Whether or not this was a move in the righ
direction I am willing that your should
Judge.
The only thing I have to regret is that we
did not adopt the plan sooner.
Mr. Casedy's statement shows that by
this method we had saved him (Mr. New
$5.10; and yet, in face of these facts, he
would intimate that we were not honest
with the people and that the money was
not properly accouted lor. He tlid not
know, perhaps, that I made the figures
from which Mr. Maddock furnished him the
amount ol his (Mr. New's) tax, and that I
was the party who had lowered the costs
in his case. He may nay this should have
been done in the first instance. I grant
it should, but he should remember that re
forms are not always so easily brought
about, and that he who diverges from oft
traveled routes often get lost In the wilder
ness. I trust It will not be so In this In
stance, and that the plan, if followed up,
will be of great benefit to the taxpayers of
Clackamas county.
Trusting I have made this matter so plain
that "be who runs might read," but If not I
shall be glad to make a personal explana
tion to the gentleman or to anyone inter'
ested. It is bis duty to to investigate this
matter, and if be finds as I have stated he
should publicly retract his article, otherwise
he has not the proper characteristics of a
gentleman. Buch language during the heat
of an election might be tolerated, but at
this time there Is no excuse lor it.
Another thing needs attention, and per
haps it would be well to speak of it at this
time.
This whole system ot Collecting delin- store.
iiient taxrs could slid should l Improved
upon by the coming legislature. It is a re
form much r eeileil. The levy as :ow made
bp the sheriff should t dlnuod with alto
gether. The advertisement should be suf

plufed In (lie hands of the aheriirnol later
than Seplruilier 1 of cu !i year. This would
be at a time wlien farmers have something
to sell and nhrii thry could rnUe the money
rasier than at any other time This Is a
very Important matter, and 1 hope It may
not be overlooked.
In closing will say that it I have nrongrd
Clackamas county or any taxpayer or Indi
vidual ot CUi kainas county out ol one sin
gle cent I dlil not do it knowingly. While
I may have made mistakes I trust (here are
many others who would have made quite
as many, ami I retire with the conscious
