' .. . . - S OF TYPE forceful Example Presented in Delinquent Tax List as Pub lished by Seaside Sentinel. EXTRA PUBLICATION IS MAuE Same Service Could Have Been Obtained Through Mails at Far Less Cost to Taxpayers. A forceful example of the wutt, over charge and padding to be found, in-the publication of delinquent tax lists an reaulred by the statute enacted by the 1917 legislature at the behest of the paid lobby of the Willamette Valley Editorial association, is seen in the list recently published by the Seaside Sen tlneL This list, as set In the hanging in dentlon and generously leaded style of the Sentinel, was 680 column inches long per Insertion. For this publication the paper received 15 cents per Inch per in sertion, and there were five insertions making the total bill paid for the work mount up to $510. . "Paddlsg" la Type Setting Apparent Right off the bat this slaps an extra and legally unwarranted 1102 onto the . taxpayers of the county, for the very simple reason that the law requires but four publications of the list and the statute has been so construed by tne at torney general of the fltate. Therefore the fifth publication, 680 inches at 15 cants ter inch. Just lifts $102 of extra pin money ouf of the public, most of which Is "velvet," for the reason that the list was all in type, so that there was no cost of composition to cut aown the profit. . But aside from copping off the extra 102i the face of the list clearly shows the typographical Ingenuity exercised to stretch the Inches out to the utmost. The second and subsequent lines of each par cel noted are Indented a full quarter of an Inch both fore and aft, which counts up in column after column of compost Uon. Comparisons on Cost Loom Two excerpts from the publication, re produced herewith, show the heavy hanging indention and padding by double leading. More than that they how - the needless reiteration of the name of the owner of the various par cels of property listed tto them as de linquent. The Neacoxle addition is evldentally owned by the Columbia Beach ' company. In the list as printed in the Sentinel titers were 26 separate parcels -of land listed to this company, and in the list ing the name "Columbia Beach Co." was repeated 26 times, each time filling half a line of type. It required 8Vt column inches to carry the descriptions of. the 26 parcels. The total cost of publish' ing, five times, was $6.37, -A separate letter for each of the 26 Individual parcels could have been senj. to the Columbia Beach company for cents, on a three cent postage basts., , Iter ttervlee. Var Cheaper ' Flavel addition, had 38 parcels of land upon which taxes were delinquent. It required 104, Inches to print the de scriptions in the list, costing a total of L $7.87 for the five publications. All of the property listed belonged to Flavel Land company, the name beng repro duced $8 times In the list. Thla company could have been notified by 39 separate letters,-each carrying a 3-cent' stamp for $1.14. In other words it cost the taxpayers of Clatsop county $14.25 to print 19 columns of delinquent tax notice under the existing law when direct notice could have been sent by 64 separate let ters, if need be, for $1.92, a needless overcharge to those two property own ing corporations of $12.33. On this same basis the overcharge of the publication, of the entire list was $441.23, which means, figuring the other way round, that by the letter mail sys tem It would have cost $68.75 to have notified all of the delinquent taxpayers of their delinquency, instead of $310. Space Needlessly Filled But examination by expert printers shows that the 19 inch list of the Neacoxle and Flavel additions could. by proper condensation and the elimi nation of needless repetition in the names, easily have been condensed into 12 inches of type. On this basis the J S400 inches, which represent the five Insertions of the list, as published, could have been published in 214771 THE NOISELESS TYPEWRITER You Will Be Interested in The Ndiseless Because it's Mechanically Right Strong and Durable Speedy Efficient and NOISELESS Phone for a demonstration in your office' today.

' Great Saving Coald Be Made From this It follows that the delin quent tax list of Clatsop county, had it been published four times only, as required by law, and set in condensed form, as it should have been, would have cost $252.27, which, is only $5.46 less than half the amount that was actually charged up against the tax payers, s It also follows that had the .Delin quent Tax Notice Bill, now being cir culated for signatures preparatory to placing it upon the November ballot. been the law. it would have cost the TO JOIN FORCES FOR Farmers' Milling Co., Farmers' Elevator Association and Tri State Farmers' Union Merge.

Schooling Will Be Given in Me chanical Trades, Especially 'in Automobile - and " Radio : Work. COURSE TO LAST MONTHS Men Will Be Housed and Fed on Campus, Gymnasium Probably to Be Turned Into Barracks. Oregon Agricultural College, Corval lis. April 20. Two hundred and forty men of whom 100 are to take up automo bile trade work. Including the construc tion, principles, operation and repair of gas engines, 40 blacksmithing work, 60 radio, buzzer work and 40 training; for service a array carpenttra and wood construction foremen, are to be sent here by the war department for train lng beginning on May 15, as the result of a--special conference at the college Friday between President Kerr, college officials and Frank H. Shepherd, dis trict director ofyocational education for the war department committee on voca tional training. Professor Shepherd reported to the conference that the government is seri ously short and must have, within the next two months, 12,235 men skilled in auto trades, 441 skilled in blacksmithing. 805 woodworkers or carpenters, 560 gen eral mechanics, 430 telegraphers and 1200 wireless operators. The course will extend through a two months' period. The men will all be housed and fed on the campus. It is probable that all of the rooms in the big men's gymnasium, except the main gym' nasium floor, the lobby and basement locker rooms, will be converted into bar rack quarters, permitting ample accom modations for more than the 240 men. According to present plans both women's dormitories will be left , avail- j able 'for summer school students and It is very probable that men in attend ance during the summer session will ob tain the military instruction given the regular soldiers if they so desire it. The summer promises to be one of the busiest ever seen on the local campus. Every effort will be made to make the soldiers on the campus as comfortable and happy as possible, and no means will be spared in providing for their enter tainment as well as making the instruc tion thorough and complete. Professor Shepherd left today for Se attle to arrange with the University of Washington for similar instruction. after which he will go to Washington State college at Pullman, to the Uni versity of Idaho at Moscow and to the University of Wyoming on a similar mission.
