It la to In order that It may be placed irpon the November ballot. Volunteer circulators of the petitions for the delinquent tax notice bill and the bill to regulate and fix the price of public printing are "hollering" for more petitions from half a dosen counties of the state. Letters coming Into the office of R. W. Hagood, who has charge of the cir culation of the petitions for the two bills, show that much and favorable Interest is being manifested In, the two measures by the people to whom they are being submitted. As was reported by one Marion county circulator, "not one person in ten declines to sign either petition, and nearly every person to whom they are submitted' heartily ap proves of the purpose of the two meas ures." Enactment "Wonld Effect Economy The delinquent tax notice bill provides for the repeal of the present law requiring the publication of the delin quent tax lists by every county of the state, ana substitutes a direct notice by letter to each holder of property upon which the taxes are delinquent. The proposed 'law. If enacted by the people, will reduce the charge upon the tax- mook Headlight.

TariaMe Charges for 3TeUci It seems that Mr. Baker made one charge for the publication of a legal notice In his paper, while papers In i Albany and Toledo charged only half as much for publishing the same notice, and, as a result, the advertiser had a "sort of duck-fit" when he received Mr. Baker's bill. It is to prevent advertis ers having "duck-fits" that the proposed measure to fix the compensation for the publication of legal notlcea Is being put before the people. In bis article" relating his experiences, Mr. Baker aays in part, as follows: I . "Recently a Portland law flrre called 1 me up and asked me what my rate was 1 for a certain legal advertisement. 1 1 wired back that all newspapers In ' Tillamook - county charged five cents j per line. The advertisement was sent to me as well as to newspapers In Al bany and Toledo, for the advertisement had to be published In three counties. "When the Portland attorney received my bill, which was for $7.00, and the) bills from the Linn and Lincoln county) papers, my bill gave them a sort of I duck-fit, for the other newspapers j charged less than one half what I had . charged. No doubt the Portland attor- neys thought that I was robbing them. for that Is what a McMtnnville attorney wrote me when I charged him five cents a line for a legal advertisement, saying that he could get the same advertise ment published In Yamhill county for one third of what I had charged. ".Now I do not feel very guilty nor does my conscience prick me in the least because I am classed as a robber. But if all the newspapers of Oregon would cooperate and adopt and stick with the legal rate I am sure I will not be ac cused of being a robber in the future.? It seems evident front the circum stances related by Mr. Baker, that the : Youthful Farmers Ready Fond du Lao, ViTtf April 11.

All have made their filings, as required by the primary law. and are officially upon the list of candidates from which the rank and file of the different par ties must choose their' gubernatorial nominees. Politically Wise Speealatmg Political wise men. now that the declarations are all in and the entries completed for the race for the gover nor's chair, are busy figuring out the "dope" and trying to pick a winner. Too much war, too much Liberty bonds, too much interest in what the Oregon boys are doing "over there" however, Is mak ing for "low visibility" on the political battlefield Of Oregon Just now, and It Is more than usually Qlfflcult to get any definite Idea of the real hohest to good ness situation as regards , the various candidates. J. E. Anderson of The Dalles is best known In Oregon politics because of the Dart he has taken during the past two sessions of the legislatures in the enact ment of prohibition legislation. He was the house father of the 1915 act which permitted the monthly shipment of two quarts of whiskey or two dozen quarts nf heer oer Derson into tne Btaie. in 1917 he was the house father of the "bone dry" nrohlbltion act now in fosce. He is depending very largely upon this record in his candidacy for the Kepuo ltcan nomination, and contends that when the ''silent vote" is counted he will have a surprise in store for the old line politicians.
