JUDGE VINE W . PEARCE PRESBYTERIAN
PEOPLE ELECT OFFICERS*
NOT AN OFFICE SEEKER
Thank* Public for Hearty Co
operation and Goodwill.
When interviewed recently with
regard to hi* plans for the lu-
ture, Vine W. Pearce, present
county judge, said:
“ I have been asked many times
o f late relative to my plans
lor the future—whether or not I
plan a re-election to my present
office. Now that the new year is
at hand and the time for the
primary election for candidates
fast approaching I feel that it is
due the public, and any person
or persons who may have the
official “ bie” buzzing in their
bonnets, to state my position.
To get squarely on the point, I
desire to ssy that I have no plans
for the future officially, and no
desire for re-election. Therefore
the field is open to all who may
be possessed o f the requisite am
bition.
“ I have already reached the
shady side o f the half-century
mark and feel that it is due me
and my family that I have the
balance o f my time in their and
my behalf. I have devoted the
most part o f the last ten years
to the public service, in one form
or another, and feel that I have
contributed my full share. I find
myself a poorer man today than
when I first began work for the
public—getting c l o s e r to the
poor farm every day. It now
appear* to me thaim yfirstduty,
henceforth, is to make provision
fur the old age period of the
Pearce family; and it my present
plans do not miscarry, I shall,
at the close of my present term,
again engage in the practice of
law in McMinnville. I need not
say that I duly appreciate the
many favors which have been
bestowed upon me by the people
o f Yamhill county and the most
hearty and helpful cooperation I
have had at their hands during
and in connection with my offi
cial work. T o them all I extend
my fthanks and most hearty
good feeling.” —Telephone Regis

parcook, the following officers
were elected for the coming year.
Miss Jessie Britt, teacher; Ella
Best, president; Lee Rayburn,

The class has had a very suc
cessful year in every way, anti
the outlook for the New Year is
most encouraging.
The class
has the distinction of starting
the movement which resulted in
the Fresh Air children coming to
Newberg. O t h e r
benevolent
work which they have engaged
in consist o f sending money to
the Children’s Home at Mont
Lawn, making scrap-books for
the hospital’s children’s ward

box which went to Alaska.
NOTICE TO TAX-PAYERS
Your attention is directed to
the following changes made by
the 1913 session laws relative to
the payment o f taxes:
The .county treasurer is made
collector d f takes untfrtfceybe:
come delinquent,—on and after
delinquency the sheriff shall be
collector thereof.
Taxes legally levied shall be
paid before the 1st day of April;
provided that one-half the tax
on any particular piece of prop
erty may be paid before April
1st and the remaining half of
said lax be paid prior to the 1st
day of September. On such sec
ond half, however, the penalty
o f one per cent per month is
added after April 1st.
No rebate is allowed. A penal
ty of one per cent per month is
added on all taxes unpaid on
and after April 1st.
All taxes remaining unpaid on
the 1st day of September shall
become delinquent and there
shall be charged and collected a
penalty of 10 per cent and in
terest at the rate of 12 per cent per
annum from date o f delinquency
until paymeht. On and after
October 1st the sheriff shall issue
certificates o f delinquency bear
ing interest at the rate o f 15 per
cent.
Tax rolls will be in the hands
o f treasurer for collection on or
about February 12th. Definite
announcement will be made lat
er. Remember that to avoid the
penalty payment must be made
before April 1st.
REGULATION DONT REGULATE
A short time ago the council
passed an ordinance prohibiting
disorderly conduct in the local
saloons, and since its passage
there has been several drunken
rows in one of these resorts says
the Sherwood Sheet New*. In
one instance a man came within
a quarter of an inch o f losing his
life, being hit over the head with
an iron poker. It is reported
that the physician who attended
the injured man said if the blow
had been struck one quarter inch
higher on the head the man would
have been killed. This is the
way regulation regulates—unless
the officials stand back o f their
laws they will stand for naught.
