Penalty Will Re Applied After March 31 on All Second or Delayed Payments, Say a Treasurer. "We would advise all taxpayers to write at once and request that their tax statements be sent to them even though they do not intend to pay their taxes until on or before March 31, the last day before the penalty begins to run," said Tax Deputy Huckaby yesterday. "Our experience has been that there always is a rush the last week, and especially on the last day. "Tax collections are moving, but r.ot as fast as we had hoped they would, and while we have extra help and ample time we would like to make out many more statements than We are receiving requests for. Unless the tax payers realize the importance of get ting these statements now there is going to be trouble ahead for all of us." To handle the business of collecting the taxes and making out statements Treasurer Lewis, who also is tax col lector, has three yforces. Collections are lax now and persons who apply to pay their taxes may do so without any delay. In speaking of the announcement made by Roger Sinnott, an attorney, that he was contemplating a suit to enjoin the Treasurer from collecting a 1 per cent monthly penalty on second--half payments paid after March 31, Mr. Lewis said: "I cannot defend the apparent in justice of the present law which re quires that all taxes be paid on or before March 31, am providing a pen alty on delayed payments, but the law is mandatory, and I have no other course than to collect the penalty with the second payments."

COLT TELLS OK INCREASE OP HERDS IX OREGON. Progressive Haalneaa Men Learn All Swine of t-nlon Meat Company Are Raised In State. Oregon has become a hog and sheep raising country, according to C. C. Colt, president of the Union Meat Company, and has a bright future. Mr. Colt was the speaker at tne Progressive Busi ness Men's luncheon at the Multnomah Hotel yesterday. It was the first of 8 series of "made-in-Oregon" addresses. He was asked to speak about his own line of business, and his subject was "The Livestock Industry in 'the North west Past, Present and Future." "There has been no importation of hogs to the Union Stockyards since 1912," asserted Mr. ColL "All our hogs have been raised right here in Ore gon. "And the wool grown In the Willam ette Valley is not exceeded in quality in the United States. Indeed, it is said to be the equal of the English-grown wool. "The territory tributary to Portland Is naturally adapted to sheep-raising and wool-growing. Sheep parasites have been reduced to a minimum, which makes ours one of the most favored lands in the world for sheep-growing. Our sheep industry is growing so rapid ly that last year the Portland stock yards handled only 25,000 head less than Fort Worth, Texas, one of the laraest markets in the United States." Talking of the hog induiAry Mr. Colt said that the absence of corn, long considered the only food for hogs, had not embarrassed the Oregon farmer. He seemed to have got along all right with barley and other grains, but even at that, he added, according to C. L. Smith, agricultural expert of the O.-W. R. & N. Co.. Oregon was destined to become In the next ten years one of the greatest corn states in the Union. Chester J. Hogue, chairman of the "made-in-Oregon" ' committee, intro duced Mr. Colt. William D. Walker, general con tractor: II. T. Terry, real estate dealer; Hamilton Johnstone, lawyer, and Will T. Wright, vice-president of the Scandinavian-American Bank, were admitted to membership in the club. 5 PASS CAPTAINCY TEST H. A. CIRCLE AND C. A. INSKEEP LIKELY POLICE APPOINTEES. Ratines Made by 34 Competing Police men Made Public by Civil Serv ice Examining- Board. Out of 24 policemen who took the recent civil service examination for captains of police only five received passing grades. Ratings of the appli cants were made public yesterday by the (Municipal Civil Service Board. From the five two will be appointed permanently to the positions made va cant. by the recent discharge of E. A. Slover and Harry Riley. The five who passed are H. A. Circle, C. A. Inskeep, L. V. Jenkins, 1 A. Harms and W. H. Royle. After the announcement of the Civil Service Board was made Mayor Albee announced that he will adhere strictly to his established policy of appointing the top men on the eligible list. This means that H. A. Circle and C. A. Inskeep will be the permanent ap pointees. Leon V. Jenkins, wlo Is serving as captain temporarily, will go back to his old position. The Civil Service Board in making the final ratings overruled the efforts of Chief of Police Clark to favor Act ing Captains Inskeep and Jenkins by giving them high recommendations and refusing to recommend any of the other applicants. The board by unan imous vote passed a resolution setting aside the ten points provided in the list for remommendation of the chief of police, and graded the papers all on the basis of 90 points. The passing grade was thereby reduced from 75 to 67 4 per cent. The examination was the first in which an oral test figured. POLICE HOT RESTRAINED FIGHT ON SECRET PASSAGES IN CHINATOWN NOT STOPPED. Judge McGinn Expressea Belief City Does Not Intend to Oppress Chinese Bringing- Salt. City officials will not be restrained from enforcing the city ordinance pro hibiting secret passages and heavy doors in Portland buildings. Circuit Judge McGinn ruled yesterday in the suit brought by Chin Sing and six oth er Chinese, asking for an injunction. and attacking the validity of the ordi nance. Following the ruling by Judge Mc Ginn, City Attorney LaRoche and Dep uty Tomlinson filed a motion to require the plaintiffs to make their comolaint against Mayor Albee and Chief of Po lice Clark more specific, and especially to name other places where the law is being violated and no attempt being made by the officials to prosecute. In urging the granting of an injunc tion against what they designated as the persecuted Chinese of Portland, At torneys Malarkey. Seabrook & Dibble cited decisions made by Judge Gaynor, or New xork, who on several occasions declared laws which he thought placed oppressive restrictions on Chinese in valid. "I don't believe the city administra tion intends to make this law oppres sive, ueciared Judge McGinn. "I am in perfect accord with the views of Judge Gaynor. I have little or no 'patience with an administration that puts in its time prosecuting Chinese. ' "Every time I hear of the police raid ing a Chinese opium den, or a Chinese gambling place, I instinctively ask my self, 'How much more do they want the Chinamen to put uoT I mav be mistaken, but I cannot rid myself of the idea that I have gotten, largely from the experience of upward of 30 years at this bar, that whenever these things are done they are done, not in the interest of public peace nor in the interests of public morals, but in the interest of graft." SCHOOLS TO AID BLIND City Will Turn Over Work to Board of Education. Provision was made by the School Board at its meeting yesterday to es tablish a department in the Portland School of Trades for the instruction of the blind' in the subject of manual training.
