ing the state for the privilege.

With Wheat Price
Down, Ranchers of
Wasco Cannot Pay
..The bailee, Dec. 9. Almost twice as
many persons In Wasco county are de
linquent in their' taxes this year as in
December, 1919, according to Claude S.
Knight, tax collector.
The condition is due solely to the
great slump in the wheat market, and
the delinquencies are almost' wholly con
fined to the ranchers, he says. The
ranchers have been holding on to their
wheat in the hope of higher prices, and
local business conditions have been
seriously affected in consequence.
Out of a total tax roll of $515,763.52,
the collections total $487,749.04 to date.
The unpaid collections this time last
year were approximately $13,000.
