In (hi lant Inkiio of the weekly coition of Tim Hullo tin before olerllon ho vtlsli (o sum up (ho argument and make n final presentation of (ho matter. In roiiNlderlng vlit In set forth below wo nro qullo willing (hat It nlinll ho remembered (lint wo havo an Interest In (ho matter throiiRh our position its official county ncuspaper. Tho reasons for retaining tho present law nro (julto beyond any matters of persoilal Interest. An (ho law stand (the law adoptrI by (ho 11)17 IcKlsIaluro), post card notlccM aro mailed to Icllniiicnt ill a certain Hmc, and then, after a certain tltun has -laped ultliln Mlilch payment may Imj made by thoso uho havo rerelveil tho canls, (ho names of all who havo not paid aro ad vertised. Tho projMiied new law iIock mmy with (ho advertising; and, In plaro of tlio Mst rnrd notlre, niibttlttitCN letter notice to all delinquent. It seems to Tho llullellu (hat them are tvto main question Involvccl In any ronfderallou of tho subject: (1) What method of dealing vtltli dc HmiuentN will brliiK In (he mot (ax money, and (1!) what method of Kiting notice vtlll ho moit likely to (ho taxc aro delinquent. Tim first ipientlon, It vtlll be seen, consider the matter from (ho point of view of the dlxtrlct Interested In tlio collec tion of laxe, and tho second, from tho point of view of (he Individual who Is Interested In property and vlhew (o ho protected against a salo for taxes. Tho auMtter (o both question seem to us to ho rlenr. Tho brat results, iMith for tho tax collet tor and for tho taxpayer, will bo obtained by a continuance of tho existing law. All the county, or other (axing district, I Interested In I getting the lax money. Taxes aro (ho hills n property owner pays (o (ho city, county and school district for (ho possession of property. Tho various district want those bills paid as fast lis may he. Anil, since most men dislike to havo puhllcKy gltcu (o (ho fact (hat they oho money, the prosjiect of publicity through tho ndcrtlcmcnt of dcllii.jucncy I calculated to bring lu tho money faster than tho pcrwonnl notice alone bring it. Thoso who have had to do with the publication of (ho delinquent list know that on It first appearance number of people pay up In order to get their name out of tho list. That I tho effect or (he publicity, and It I tho publicity that tho proposed hill would do away with. Kverj thing tho proposed hill offer I provided for by (ho present law. The only change Is lu tho matter of publicity. That Is needed to help get tho (axe In. Tho publlrlty f needed In another way, aUo. The advertisement Is not only Intended to get delinquent to pay up; It also tell (he general public that after a certain date, If tho taxr aro not paid by tho owner, rertlllcate of delinquency will bo for Mile on (ho property listed. The sale of these certificate also bring In tho (ax money lo (he county, and they art adtcrtlscd In no other way. To the Indltldiial the Important thing I lo havo Ids memory Jogged and If the post card or letter notice were sure (o ge( to tho man who I Interested lu seeing that tho taxes arc iald, probably the advertisement would not be needed. Hut, a everyone knows, (hero arc hundred of ease In cery county where someone, not tho record owner, I (ho ono who Is paying (ho (axe mid (ho one who wauls his memory Jogged when they nro due. He I tho one who publication. Purchaser of lot on tho Installment plan nlwa) contract to pay taxi. Suppose the fact that' taxes not pay. They do not get the written notice of delinquency. That goes by mall to the man or company that I selling to (hem. Suppose ho throws It away, or disregard it. Utile. an advertisement I published nil chance of notice lo tho htijer I gone. Or MipiMtso jou have sold property and given a deed, taking a mort gage back to Insure pigment. Tho and if ho fall lo pay (ho taxes when due (he notice of delinquency I mnllcd to him. Supiwiso ho disregard It, or throws It away. Your only protection I In having published the list of tho delinquent tnxc. Unless )ou get jour notice by publication and step In to pay, tho property may bo Mild for taxes and a title ucrlor to that mMcIi jou Imvc through your mortgage littrrent may shut jou out. Those aro tho main features of tho delinquent tax business and n logical discussion loads (o (ho Inevitable conclusion that, for tho best results to tho taxing district. nnd thoso Intcrc-dcd In pajlng tho (axe, mall notice should bo supplemented by news-mper advertising. Thero aro many minor jtolnt or argument. Aihocates of tho pro ixed low say that tho cost or publication I luirno by tho count)-, anil that thl should not he. A a matter Instance, does pay (ho cost, it I reimbursed. J.'very (ax (hat I delinquent has ndded to It certain charges which must ho paid before flio property is cleared. When these taxes aro jmld tho county gets Its nmney hack. Tho high rate of Interest paid on delinquent taxes moro than reimburses tho county for Interest paid on n warrant Issued for advertising. Abuses of tho law aro rlted as an argument. Thero liavo been abuse?., without doubt. Their citation, however, 1 not an urgument against tho law, but against Its udmlnlstratlon, and tho remedy lies in nctlon by tlio proper ofllelabj In getting the abuse eliminated. ' Hack of tho argument on tho merits of tho existing law Is tho ques tion as to how tho utters of tho stato Intend to deal with tho power of money when used lo present bill under tho Initiative. Hills of real merit fulled to get on tho ballot this fall because funds were lacking for tho publicity necisary to get siKnatures. The bill In question, however, tho hobby ot a rich man, a mllllonalro publisher, backed by his money, did get on tho ballot, as did a measure, nlso fathered by him, to reduce lepd advertising rates in (ho country press. Ills own rates nro where lie wants them. Will (ho voters of Oregon continue to permit tho use of tho Initiative for private, ends? Will they let money propose and make their laws? These are even moro InqMirtniit matters than any connected with tho de linquent lax law. To rebuke, such uscTof. the power of money, to aid in quick collection of tnxe.s and to protect tho Individual taxpajer, vote next TucmL y UOt) X XO. previous to that time.

PIERCE VOTED AGAINST LABOR LABOR'S FRIEND ONLY FOR VOTES. Utile Doubt That Ilcpubllcaa Can didates Aro to He Iteturned Governor Kxoucratcd of Moscr Charge. (8pUI to The Bulletin.) SALEM, Oct. 31, Next Tuesday will Bcttlo tho question of who will hold a numbor of stato offices In Oregon for tho next four years. In tho minds ot politicians around hero that question In pretty definitely settled as It In, and It looks like a straight Republican victory from top to bottom. In only one placo docs thoro seem to bo much doubt and that Is as to tho supremo Judgeship, to fill tho vacancy caused by tho death ot Justlcq F. A. Moore. Even some of tho most stalwart of tho stalwart Republicans admit that Judgo A. S. Dennet, Democratic can dldato from Tho Dalles, has as good, and perhaps a little better, show than any of tho Republicans. With a divided field among tho Re publicans, with all of tho uncertain ties attendant upon tho voters writ ing In the names and with tho pe culiar complications arising tboy concede. that Judgo Dennett has a strong clianco. Ills nnmo Is much better known to the voters ot tho stato than tho name ot any Repub lican candidate after tho Job; ho has u strong following among tho mem bers ot tho liar, and on top ot that ho is apt to develop some unexpected strength, not only in Eastern Ore gon, but In Portland, whero. ho Is widely known, and ho will probably have a pretty solid backing among tho Domocratn. A story is told which may bo true or not but Inasmuch as It Is being told by some pretty reliable people It may bo repeated with tho reserva tion that porhaps It Is no more than political gossip. Tho story Is to tho effect that tho Plorco gang was to throw Its support to Coke and that In turn Coos county was to coma up strong for PIcrco. A fow flattering remarks In tho Portland Journal about Coko editorially may give some somblunce ot reliability to tho yarn. It It Is truo tho entrance ot IJonnott Into tho raco has given a peculiar twist to tho situation tor the Demo crats. But whether the story Is truo or not Dennett is apt to got a very considerable vote and tho guess would bo he Is a formidable con tender for tho toga. Justice Olson Is confident ho will win, Judge Campbell is equally confident ho will win, whllo tho Coko supporters nro spreading a strong campaign as fur as thoy can roach. ' It Is all a toss-up, but Is really the. only Interesting situation in tho campaign. Tho rest of It appears to bo a walkaway for tho Republican nominees. Democrats Throw Mud. It Is certain that this campaign will go dowu Into history as ono ot tho dirtiest over waged. Tho dirt Is all coming from tho Democratic sldo us near as can bo discovered. No stono Is being loft unturned to vllllfy nnd underrate Governor Wlthycombo, nnd it past history in the stato Is any criterion tho mud slinging will Blmply pllo up a" larger voto tor the governor. Tho Portland Journal has been working night and day trying to spread dissension among the Repub lican ranks and to nllonato friends from tho governor. Its columns havo boon plastered with every sort ot inuondo It could command to en deavor to bring about tho downfall ot tho present govornor and to oltf vato Plorco. It Plorco had a show in tho world, It Is our guess that It has been lost In tho political thug gory which has boon oxorclsod In hla behalf. Tho Inconsistency ot tho whole business Is moro or less amusing to u man with a memory moro than two or three years old. Tho political powors that be on tho Journal havo hold consistently that Oswald West and Den Olcott wora olocted to of flco bocauso ot ropoated onslaughts mnda upon thorn by Ropubllcan pa pers. Thoy havo contonded that a campaign ot vllllflcatlon and abuso lu each Instance has turned tho tide SQUAW CREEK BOND ALLOWED COUNSELOR RETURNS FROM TRIP. District Can Now Pay for Properties1 Recently Taken from Corpora tionInclude. Long Hollow Ranch. Tho $08,000 Squaw Crook Irriga tion district bond Issuo has boon ap proved by tho stato Irrigation secur ities commission, according to II. II. Do Armond, who returned this morning from a trip to Salom, whore ho had tho matter up with tho state officials concerned. With the bond Issuo approved tho district can now pay for Its proportlos, Including the Squaw Creok Irrigation system and tho Long Hollow ranch. Tho ranch has already boon sold by tho district In subdivisions. 'h- Whllo in Portland, Mr. Do Ar mond, In company with J. Altoa Thompson ot tho Control. Oregon Ir rigation district, had extended con ferences with representatives ot the C. O. I. Co,, out of which may come tho purchase by the district of the company's interests In thin section. In coso torms can be agreed upon It is expected that the North Unit dis trict will release from its option that portion of the property desired by tho C. O. I. district. WOOL GROWERS TO COME NOVEMBER 15 Tho stato wool growers ossoda tion will meet in Dcnd on November 15 and 16, providing thestato board ot health will permit meetings at that tlmo. This announcement was made In a latter from J. O. Ilager, secretary ot tho association, to II. J. Overturf, and received hero today. This is the first definite date which has evor boon set for tho gathering. BOOZE CASES CARRY EXPENSE (From Tuesday's Daily.) Fines from bootlegging cases dur ing tho past nlno months havo beea sufficient to pay tho exponso ot the sheriff's offlco and a portion ot that ot tho office ot tho district attorney, accordlug to figures taken from the records ot tho Justice court this morning. Since the beginning ot IastiVb runry there have been 27 arrests raado In the county on bootlegging charges. Ot this numbor 24 ot the men arrested have eithor pleaded (guilty or been convicted, with the result that fines amounting to $5310 havo boon assessed against thorn. These figures Include only tho ar rests which have boon rnado for the violation ot the federal and state laws governing Intoxicating liquors. In favor of tho men who havo been villlfled. Regardless of this fact, tho same political powers that bo have beea abusing and endeavoring to ham string Governor Wlthycombo. The result naturally will be tho election ot Wlthycombo. That Is a foregone conclusion at any odds, but tho sys tem ot nbuso by the Journal turns tho stomach of a voter that might possibly be a friend ot Plorco, Abuso and uncalled for tirades against a public official nover lost him votes, nor won votes tor his antagonist. Ot course, It must be admitted that Waltor Plorco has gained a vast amount ot publicity during this cam paign that he is not entitled to. Pierce Not Man of Action. Walter Plorco has novor done any thing lu particular to cause his namo to bo blazoned very broadly across tho stato. Ho Is Democratic candldato for governor and as suck la u rather interesting specimen ef phenomena as to Just what can be dono undor tho direct primary m usod In tho Oregon system. Aside from that ho is no wora Interesting than any other political curiosity (Continued on page 4.) JhkL 1 1 r i mill i uMmtttt
