Next year, according to a recent statement from the state tax commission, It will bo still higher. Wo wonder If our readers fully ap preciate Just what this means In con nection with county finances, espec ially In a year such as this when thcro Is a high percentage of delinquency In the payment of taxes. State taxes, It must bo remember ed, must be paid In cash In full when due, tho first half in the spring and the second in the fall. Let us suppose that the total county tax, including the state tax, is $200,000 and that half of that or $100,000, is the stato tax. On tho first half payments duo in April assume that $90,000, or 45 per cent of the total is paid, leaving tho amount delinquent nt that tlmo $10,000. Of the $90,000 the sum of $50,000 must be remitted to the stato leaving the county with only $40,000 with which to meet expected county expenditures of $50,000. Tho county is short $10,000. Now assume this one change, that the state tax is $40,000. The county tax remains at $100,000, making the total $140"i000. Suppose that 45 per cent of this Is paid. This would be $63,000 and $20,000 would be pay able as state tax leaving $43,000 for the county out of an expected $50, 000. The county shortage would then be $7,000 Instead of $10,000 simply because the state tax was lower. The foregoing has been assump tion but it shows how the state tax -works against the county -Interest. The county "holds the sack." In tho current year the fact has been much worse than the case assumed above. On the second half payment less than the amount of the state tax. was re ceived by the tax collector. We do not know how the treasurer has paid the state but It is clear enough that the county has had nothing left for the general fund. Now we cannot expect to do away with the state tax any moro than we can do away with city and county and school taxes. We can, however, endeavor to keep it down as a means of aiding our county general fund since' every reduction made in the state tax is a double aid to that fund. This Is one of the matters to be con sidered In connection with the pro posed 1925 exposition tax which would be payable in the state levy and on that account Just that much more burden on our county general fund. , THE ROLL CALL In answering to tho Rod Cross roll call with, "Itero'Sflinylollar for an other year," you Will h'olp to carry on a work that brgnn with tho war and Is not yet ended. Whilo tho Rod Cross activities nro wldo spread, In cluding disaster relief, public health programs, and many others Its chief local work Is on behalf of tho cx-sor-vlco man. It Is no exaggeration to say that tho aid giveu tho past year In connection with compensation claims, bonus applications and direct relief, tins been' Invnlunblo. It Is un thinkable that tho work should bo stopped. No one has tho slightest idea thnt It will end but unless there Is n universal enrollment thcro will not be enough funds to carry the work through to tho next roll-cull a year hence. Recognition of tho valuo of tho Rtd Cross to tho cx-sorvico man Is found in tho enthusiasm with which tho men of the American Legion and the women of Its auxiliary organiza tion have entered into tho roll cull campaign. They know what tho work means to them and their comrades. Today they have dono tholr best to see that It will bo continued through a full year to come. This Is an ap peal to all who have not been reach ed to come forward and by tholr vol untary subscription show that they approve tho work and are ready to help In It.

J. .'uniilugltam and Mr. Mayuo made a business trip from lluud tn the Koidti ranch Wednesday. Tho coyotes are very active and noisy (huso nights nml early dawn of days. There must bo thousand by their noise. Tho difference between Hughes and tho Kaiser Is that tho latter wanted to start a war while Hughe Is for starting a scrap. t It Is n simple plan, easily carried out. It means reduction In taxation, removal of prejudice and oblitera tion of Jealousy. Tho people will bo for It. Who will oppose It and why? CLOVER DAM' TRAPPER GETS MANY COYOTES The American proposal In short Is to scrap the scrappers. President Wilson was the first to put the Idea Into words when he talk ed of "Open covenants of peaco open ly arrived at," It took Secretary Hughes to show him how to do It. Wilson beat Hughes for the presi dency. Hughes has Wilson beaten on open diplomacy. "There Is no' more Inconceivable folly than this continued riot of ex penditure on battleships at a time when great masses of humanity are dying of starvation." HERBERT HOOVER. Just why should the naval strength of Great Britain and the United States be placed at 500,000 tons each and that of Japan at 300,000 tons would seem to be tho opportunity for argument in tho American proposal What Is the American formula? Jap an may say, "We should have more.' Probably, however, tho Americans will answer that the proposed ton nage represents roughly the present situation and that the idea is to con tinue it ns It Is. "Wo can oil spend more money," they will say, "but make no change In the relative sit uatlon. Why spend the money?" Credit Is going to Hughes for his remarkable statement of the Amer lean plan and he deserves It but let's not forget the man behind It all, War ren G. Harding. Hughes took a tip from the Hard ing newspaper experience and told his story on the front page of the first edition. It is a white proposition. Will Jap an think it too white?

Fifteen Years Ago (From tho columns of The Bulletin of November 10, 1900.) Mrs. J. II. McGuflle, of Redmond, started across lots headed for town tho other day nml encountered u largo bobcat. Tho bobcat would not shoo, and as Mrs. McGulIlo felt that thcro must bo a compromise she herself turned, and went around by the road.
