Editoiis OlMKiON Scoir
As the L:i Grande Gazette and some
other parties uro clniiniiif? for Mr.
Hamilton grout credit uh it tax collec
tor, I would like ppneo in your valua
ble journal to digou that matter a
little.
Mr. Hamilton, ns all other tdicriiFtf,
assumed the ollice of tdicriir tinder the
sanctity of an oath, with all the re
sponsibilities that the law iinpoecH on
that oliiccr, among them the duties of
tax-collector, for which I refer you to
See, 28 M. 1 1 ill'n code, which makes it
his duty when the delinquent tax list
turned over to him by the county
clerk, with warrant attached, and wal
of the county court, to proceed at once
to make levy and sale if necessary, of
personal property, of all delinquent tax
payers, if Htillieiont personal property
can ho found, if not, then by levy and
sale of real property of said delinquent
orsufHcient thereof to pay all taxes
due, costs of levy and sale, and sher
Jg'a fees, etc., and that said sheriil' bo
required to pay over all monies so col
lected, by the first Monday in Jul
thereafter, and Sec. 2811 requires the
sherill'to swear when he makes his re
turn of the delinquent tax list to the
county court, anions other things, that
after due diligence he has been unable
to discover any goods or chatties be
longing to said delinquents out of which
he could make this tax. Now 1 would
like to invite the attention of the bona
Jlde tax payers of this county to the
delinquent tax list as published in Thk
Scout, and let them decide whether
Mr. Hamilton is entitled to the credit
of being u good tax-collector.
The present county court started in
nearly two years since, with a deter
mination to collect and close up this
old delinquent list if possiblo, and the
sheriff made fair promiscstat the start
to second our cflorts, but ho utterly
tailed long since. Wo have urged, en
couraged, plead, begged, and even gen
tly threatened him in fact did all we
could, short of going to the courts, to
induce him to perform his duty in this
matter, for we consider he. as well as
ourselves are pledged to those whopav
their taxes to collect every dollar of
taxes that can bo collected. Kvory
one who pays tax lias a right to do
mand that every one else pay, in fact
it is their duty to demand it.
The county has to pay the state her
portion of the assessment whether it is
collected or not, winch for las was
C and 2-JO mills on the dollar, which
has been paid to the State, making
$l'l,-l(5f), Union county's portion of the
State tax for 1887, although over lf,-
000 of that tax is yet uncollected, and
this county has actually paid to the
Stato nearly !f7,00() since 1870 on as
sessments never collected, so that al
though the law requires the assessor
to assess all the properly in his county,
it would be better for the citizens of
the county who pay their tax, if the
portion that is not collected were nev
er assessed, but nearly all could be col
lected, if the sheriil' performed his du
ty as the law requires, and if thesev
oral sheiifl's of this county had faith
fully performed their duty as tax-collector,
she need not owo one dollar
now, and 1 venture to say that the
loudest growlers at the county court
for the county indebtedness comes
from some of these same delinquents,
though I am willing to believe that
generally it is throiightless more than
wanton neglect on their part, that they
do not pay, and that they only need to
bo properly reminded bv'tho sheriil' to
pay their taxes. Ho that as it may,
thoy should be forced to pay if they do
not pay without force, and not bo nl
lowed to exist as drones on the com
munity in which they live. Every
good cmon should perforin his duty
in bearing his portion occording to his
means ot the bunions of supporting
county, school and State, and tho sher
iil is dclrauding the honest tax-payers
when he fails to require them to do so.
Mr. Hamilton refuses to tako the
oath prescribed by law fortlio sherifl' to
tako in returning the delinquent tax
list, for ihe reamn that some former
sherill's hao not dono so. 1 will ask
tho tax-payers if it is any excuse for
his direlii lion that some former sher
iff has fallen short of his duty. Sup
pose some sheriil' had committed a fel
ony, would that justify some other
slioriU'in committing a felony? Tho
people should require of every oflicer a
strict i crfoiinanco of their duty under
tho law. Mr. Hamilton accepted tho
olllco of sheriil' with all the dutieN and
responsibilities the law imposes on
that oillcer, and he owes it to tho peo
ple to perform them in full. Ho meets
BOino of these delinquents daily, in and
around the court houxe, on the streets
of Union and wherever he goes through
tho county, and yet he says ho cannot
collect this tax, though lie has never
tried, He hasleicd on no property
for taxes yet. How does ho know he
onnnottf'ollooL it? No property is ex
empt from execution for taxes. It
him try. His refusal to take tho oath
prescribed by law proves of itself that
no uas inn men. n no cannot per
forin the duties of sheriff, why does ho
want the olllco again? If ho will not
perform them, why do tho people want
him again. Hotter try it now oho, and
keep on trying a new one until we get
ono who will.
The county court has stricken oil' of
tho delinquent tax list turned over to
Mr. Hamilton of tho assessment of 188(1
&m prior years, more thnn!f 1,600 lost
to (ho county, besides ovor .$(1,000
transcribed to Wallowa county. A
considerable portion of (his tax lost,
could have been collected with proper
effort by Mr. Hamilton in time. A
considerable tax is lost to tho county
on mortgages owned by non-residents.
Mortgages arc assessable according to
law, and tliu mortgages nro good secu
rity for tho taxes until paid oil' and
cancelled, thutt if tho owner bo a non
resident tho tax is lost. Delinquent
tux-payer (nminoiner) uro continually
moving out of the county, whereby tho
tax is lost to the county through tho
neglect of tho sheriff. In the last is
sue of Tin: SCotr, in flic correspon
dence from Cove, I see tho names of
several delinquents who are leaving
flip Slnfn. nnd who the shoriM' tdiotild
interview on the tax question, but it is
safe, I think, to say he will do nothing
of the kind ; he is loo busy securing
his re-election.
Now I submit the question of Mr.
Hamilton's efficiency us a tax-collector
to tho voters who pay their taxes, and
abido their decision. Tho Gazette says
by way of an excuse for Mr. Hamil
ton's neglect of duty I suppose, that
this old delinquent list is made up of
small amounts. IJy reference to this
list it will be seen that quite a number
of the amounts are not so small. That
old list aggregates if 1(!00, which should
be collected and applied on tho county
indebtedness; but suppose they wcro
all very small, that would not remove
the obligation to pay them, or collect
them. The sherifl is allowed ample
fees for collecting taxes. He is cer
tainly entitled to JO cents per mile
from, tho court house each way for
cael! individual. He claims llty cents
per mile, besides his per cent. But 1
beg a thousand pardons.
