Two important initiative measures 1
which were enacted into law by the vot
ers of the state at the election of No
vember 5, were the delinquent tax notice
blU and the bill fixing compensation for
publication of legal notices.
The first repeals the present law re
quiring the publication of delinquent tax
lists by the tax collectors of tbe various
counties in newspapers of the counties.
It substitutes for the publication a sys
tem of notification by letter maiL Under
this system the tax collector Is required
to send a written notice by letter to each
taxpayer who has failed to pay his taxes.
This notice Is to be sent out by the tax
collector as soon as ' practicable after
the date upon which the taxes become
delinquent. Four months after the date
upon which taxes are delinquent the tax
collector is required to prepare a list of
all property upon which the taxes have
not been paid, and post thisist In four
public places In the county, and also to
file the original list with the county
clerk.
New Publication Bates
The second bill, the one fixing the com
pensation for the publication of legal
notices, repeals the law enacted by the
1917 session of the legislature which
fixed the standard of compensation at
65 cents per folio of 250 ems of the type
iu which the notice was published. This
stated in the language of the laity,
means that the standard fixed by the old
law for the cost xf all legal notices was
from 4& cents per column inch for
"eight point type to 78 cents per column
inch for "six point" type, these being the
two siaes most generally used in legal
publications throughout the state.
The new law fixes the maximum rate
at 30 cents per column inch for eight
vessels and pass on like so many little j point type and at 60 cents per inch for

rate than that fixed by the statute. It
is based upon the principle that the
public should not be obliged to pay a
higher rate than the Individual adver

What Dfllnqnent Tax Bill Provides
The text of the delinquent tax notice
bill Is as follows :
Be It Enacted by the People of the State
of Oregon:
Section 1. As soon as practicable after
taxes become delinquent each year the
tax collector shall send to each person,
firm or corporation shown on the tax
roll as owning real property on which
the taxes due and charged have not been
naid. a written notice, containing a brief
description of each parcel of such real
eaia written notice
As these conditions progress, the I 8nall also specify the total amount of
symptoms of the disease simulate very
closely those of ppeumonia ; in fact
are almost Identical with pneumonia,
with the exception of being caused
by an entirely different organism than
Is fouhd in the ordinary types of
pneumonia.
"As it seems almost Impossible for
any medication in the lungs to check
the growth of these organisms on ac
count of the rapidity with which they
develop, science has resorted to the
use of a vaccine. It has been found
that by Injecting into the human body,
before the disease Is established, the
killed bacteria of the same variety,
an immunity against this disease . is
brought about. After having, been ln
. Jeoted into the body, they are taken
up by the leucocytes or white corpus
cles of the blood, where they are
broken down, dissolved and carried to
all parts of the body, unfitting the
soil for the growth of the same or
ganism. Example Is Given
'"The substance of these dead bodies
Is different from the products whUti
taxes due and delinquent on said real
property and the rate of interest and
penalties applicable thereto. KacB said
notice of delinquent taxes on or charged
against real property shall also contain
a statement of the date on or after
which a certificate of delinquency may
be issued as provided by law now or
hereafter enacted. The tax collector
shall send the notice. In each Instance,
by letter mail to the last known address
of the person, firm or corporation shown
on the tax roll, or otherwise reported to
the tax collector, as owing such delin
quent taxes.
Section 2. The envelopes in which the
said notices of delinquency are mailed
by the said tax collector shall bear upon
the upper left hand corner thereof a
statement addressed to the postmaster
in substantially the following words : "To
the Postmaster. This letter contains of
ficial business of county, Ore
gon. If not called for, delivered or for
warded within five days return to
Tax Collector,
Oreeon."
Section 3. It ehall be the duty of each
person,- firm or corporation owning real
or personal property within the state, or
against whom taxes upon real or per
sonal DroDertv are chargeable, to keep
I the tax collector of the county where said
real or personal property is situate, ln-
they form during their growth, and formed ot the true and correct address of
their introduction into the body do-
jiot and cannot mircharge the body
with a greater amount than Is al
ready formed there by -the living or
ganisms, as It is an entirely different
substance.
"As a simple example of this, if 'a
sample of sterfte milk be Inoculated
with bacillus acidi lactici, it Is well
known that the milk becomes sour and
clabbered. This effect is accomplished
by the products of this bacilli changing
the lactone or piilk sugar to lactic
acid, which gives the sour taste to the
milk and causes the thickening. If
. we were to filter tljese bacteria from
t&id persor-firm or corporation, and no
such person, nrm or corporation wno
fails; refuses or neglects to keep said
tax collector bo informed shall be per
mitted to plead lack of due notice given
bv said tax collector in any suit, action
or other proceedings commenced or pros
ecuted under the provisions of this act
or in any matter growing out or tne aa
ministration of this act.
Section 4. It shall be the duty of the
tax collector to note upon the tax roll,
or in such other manner as he may deem
most feasible, the true 'and correct ad
dress of each person, firm or corporation
owning real or personal property in this
state, as furnished undeV the provisions
I of section 3 hereof, or as may be other
wise ascertained by said tax collector.

vided for, file In the office of the county
clerk of his county a copy of said list,
with his certificate endorsed thereon.

duly and regularly mailed the said writ

and 2 of this act to each of said prop

certained address as by this act re
quired ; that the said addresses and each
of them are the. true and correct ad
dresses of Bald .property owners to the
best of bis information and belief, and
that the said described parcels of real
property listed against each said prop
erty owner are all the parcels of real
property owned by said property owner
in said county upon which taxes are due
and delinquent as shown by- the tax roll
of said county.
Section 7. The said list and certificate
-when duly filed as by section 6 hereof
required, shall be conclusive evidence of
lawful notice having been duly given to
any- person, firm or corporation whose
name or real property may be contained
therein, and failure to receive the said
notice therein mentioned shall not inval
idate any tax or certificate of delin
quency, nor affect any proceedings in the
collection of taxes as provided by law.

within the same day upon which the
preparation we have followed the prin
ciple laid down in the treatment of
other diseases with vaccines.
"This principle of injecting the killed
bacteria into patients suffering from
bacterial diseases is nothing new. Ic
has long been practiced mith the most
perfect success.
"This same principle has been ap
plied in preparing vaccines for typhoid
fever and other diseases. The besjt
results have been obtained when the
bacteria injected are of the same strain
as that which is producing diseases in
the patient; that is, when it in possi
ble to make what Is known as an
autogenous vaccine, the results are
much morel certain and quicker than
is derived from injecting strains from
another source.
Conserving of Bngar Urged
"Unfortunately, however, in such an
epidemic as this, time would not per
mit making the autogenous vaccines
from the strains of each Individual,
and the influenza serum which is now
being used is almost equal to the
autogenous vaccine because It is
pure culture of the organisms which
we have found to be causing the
disease, and is not in any way mixed
with" any other strain,
"In growing these organisms artl
flcially in' the laboratory, we flrtd that
they grow much more rapidly and. lux
urantly if- grape sugar (dextroaei is
added to the media. Therefore, It
would seem advisable for people to
limit - the - unnecessary ' use ' of sugar
and candy until the epidemic ceases."

Gee! but it's niceto see a
girl
ike you!
It was in a hut in France. He had been "Over There"
for eight months, and now was back from the front line
for a few days' furlough. He hadn't seen a girl of his own
kind, like his sisters, for weeks.
And there she stood behind the canteen counter in this
big, roomy, comfortable hut.
He bought a bar of chocolate. - Then he drifted over to
the group around the piano. Presently he went back to
the canteen for a package of cigarettes. He strolled to the
reading table and leafed over a magazine. Again he re
turned this time for a cake of soap and some tooth paste.
For a moment the rush at the canteen was over. He
loitered at the counter and looked at the girl. She smiled.
So did he. Then he blurted out what he had been tryirrg
to say for 20 minutes: "Gee! but it's nice to see a girl
like you."
There are girls like that all over France in camps, in
towns, in the big cities even at the front itself. They are
serving the canteens, running restaurants, handing out hot
chocolate or coffee, pies and doughnuts.
They are giving the huts a look of home putting bright
curtains at the windows, posters on the walls, making
flower gardens at the doors. TJiey are mending for the
soldiers. They bind together home and France! They are
the girls beside the men behind the guns!
Without the organizations whose uniforms they wear,
these girls could accomplish nothing. Howjever eager to
help, they could not even travel as individuals.
They'll Be "Over There" For Months to Come Yes, Perhaps for Years

Formerly, each of the organizations named had its own
drive. In 'Combining in one United Drive overhead 'ex
penses are greatly reduced, the strain on the public is les
send, and, in a word, maximum results'obtained with mini
mum cost and effort.
This is the outstanding, practical side, but there is a big
ger reason for combining. , In this drive all xreeds and
denominations unite to further the cause for which' the
boys have fought Humanity.
United in This Common Cause We Must Continue to Work
Together in the Same Spirit as Our Soldiers Have Fought
Under One Flag That of the Allies.
The division of funds to the various" organizations was determined at National head
quarters by their seven National representatives, and has the approval of the War Depart
ment. The money raised goes entirely for necessary war work here and abroad. Not a cent
is used for civilian activities of the organizations or to pay any indebtedness for such
activities.
The workers have a hard task before them in this drive. Because of the epidemic there
can be no public meetings of any kind, so that we are denied the help of trained speakers
and Four-Minute Men; no parades can be held, and even the mighty inspiration of music
must be lacking. It is a case of working against great and unforeseen obstacles. There
fore, we know that both workers and public in general will respond with all the more
zeal.
Word has been received recently that each state is requested to give per cent more
than its original quota. This, too, must mean working with an enthusiasm that carries all
before it.
Dpn't fail to give simply because a glorious victory is being won. This is the time to
fight the harder to make sure of that victory. Even4 if peace should come, the necessity
for this drive will not be less, but even greater, for strict military discipline will unavoid
ably be slackened, bringing still greater need of protection to our boys and girls abroad.
It will take at least a year to bring our boys home after the war.
