Tl'KSDAY AT 5 P. M.
Taxes Must Be Paid Before Wednes
day to Avoid Tort Per Cent
Penalty.
Today and tomorrow the Courthouse
corridors vM bo crowded with lortp lines
of tardy property -owners and citizens,
who have waited tmtil the last moment
to pay their taxes and to repister for the
primaries. All who have not paid their
taxes and who do no: do so today, must
pay ii per cent addition. One per cent
a mor.th will be added to this amount
until paid. Tnus what is now a tax of
$V0 wiil become 9110 tomorrow. Property
owners may pay half their taxes, how
ever, and have the balance extended until
next October. The tax department will
be open until a late hour tonight.
The total unpaid tax now stands at
Jri.'S.oaS.Jt. but $--"3.75$ of this is the tax
ott the money, notes and accounts of the
O R. Ar N. Company, which has been
taken into court. The company pro
fsted before the County Board of Equali
zation ajrainst the payment of this tax.
ftllepinc that the property belonged to
the L'nien Pacific Company, and that the
funds were only held m Portland to pay
for cy; st ruction work and repairs. But
this explanati-n did not satisfy the
Equalization Board and the railroad's pro
test was of no avail.
A heavy collection of J2.5?7.fr3.76 has
been made thus far this year, the total
tax roll being $3. 226. 5-54.?5. Deputy S. B.
Martin's report of collections shows a
much larger total at this time than was
expected, in vie-w of the recent tightness
of the money market.
Saturday night th total number of
voters registered for the primary election,
ta be held Friday. April 17, wax 25.533.
As tomorrow is the lat day for receiv
ing registrations, the deputy clerks have,
iflid in an extra supply of pens and will
do Their best to keep up with the grand
final rush. Tonight the boofcs will be
open at the Courthouse until 9 o'clock,
but tomorrow they will c?ose at 5 P. M.
sharp. Ail who do not sign before that
time will be excluded.
The total registration will go over the
jft.-vo mark, as 7S7 registered Saturday.
Of this number 60 swore alliegance to
the Republican faith. 16 were Democrats,
and 4a were of other political parties.
Every effort has been put forth by
County Clerk Fields to accommodate all
comers, and to swell the grand total as
mueh as possible, as he believes every
legal voter should register, whether he
be Republican. Democrat, or what-not.
Political clubs have also taken up the
matter and have urged citizens to get
in line and sign up.

Livestock has risen 20 per cent in the past few weeks,
but the retail price of meat is no higher at Smith's. Tho
reason why? Because the retail meat business of Port
land is controlled by Smith. The Beef Trust has its mar

will never do it. If the Trust had its own way, you would
be paying 40 per cent more for your meat than you are
