Drrnggitt for a frit lam fit OBERTINEj j DOINQS AT THE COURT HOUSE t Iteme of Interest to the Taxpayer of Josephine County I Trom the Varloua County Off.clB.la Te.xpn.yera Very Wall Pleased. Although the Joaephlne County Board of Equalisation M in session during the whole of lait week, for the purpose of bearing any complaint which taxpayers might feel inoiined to make about the manner in which their worldly belongiiigs had Deen assessed by Mr. Fallin, yet only a very few persons took advantage of the op portunity. Alt of which ouly goes to iDdicmte that the people of this coonty, realizing that their efficient agsegHor had in former years striven to do bis duty, were content to let him decide what proportion of the public stipend they should pay. Now the matter will stand practically as As sesior Fallin had figured it oat, as there is no state board to come in and demoralize matters, as is the case in many state. Oregon law makers, believing that each coonty is able to settle these tilings for itself. Inas much as the various counties have differeut interests, baa done away with the plan wbiob is in fore in other commonwealths with regard to this proposition, and it is proving to be a very wise move. The proceed ings of the Board of Equalization will be found on another page of to day's Courier. County Money Safely Kept. Although County Treaurer J. T. Taylor bat remeved bis headquarters from the Model Drug Store, where he has been so long stationed, to the new offloe provided .for htm and sup erintendent Savage and Sarveyor Perkins, in the btlci building across the street from tbs courthouse, yet he does not carry the oounty's cash in that building. He has a poor safe, in whloh, during the day be can have some of the records, bat until the large, new fire and burglar proof safe which the county commitsiooert are figuring upon arrives, be will bave no oounty money in that place. He leaves the safe open and the door ajar, so no foolish burglar, wbo might be prowling around, wonld go to the trouble of blasting open the doors. However, be hones, ons of these days, to bave the proper conveniences for carrying on the work of bis office. Delinquent Taipa-yere Coming In Deputy Sheriff Smith is still work ins on the mil of delinauent tax i vers and he will have the property alfj . listed in time to turn it over to the oounkyoommisioners at their next meeting, ' Wedriesdy, November 8, when that body will order that it be published and sold as in former years. The new lw which was supposed to have done away with the customary publishing of these delinquencies has been found to be null and void an d so the old regime will still be io vogue. Although there are still nianv pieces of property throughout the county upon which the taxes bave not been paid, yet Deputy Smith is of the opinion that many property owners will manage to diop into the Sheriff's officii before next Wednesday aud thus save themselves some extra expense aud much trouble. He does not know Just bow the number aad amount of dellnqueuoles will compare with those of last year, but thinks that the volume will be about the same. This fact, when it is cousidered that there has boon a very material increase in the total assessed valuation of the county right along, is a good indica tion, in Itself. It goes to show that the people of this county are paying more taxes aud that they have much more means with which to pay, than in former years. County Jail Still Empty. And attain is the coonty hastile empty I Sheriff Rusxell thinks thai It is a burning shame to have this flue jnll empty so much and for so long a time. Of course he would like to be earning his salary, but unless there is more lawbreaking and devil try of some kiud going on, be may have his conscience sorely tried. He should remember that the averge tax payer will be glad to have this county hold the banner for having the fewest law breakers of any couaty is the state. They realise that such fact speak volumes for the peaceful, law-abiding- class of people who live with in its confine and that many an easterner will be most favorably im pressed with such an unusual state of affairs. So, Mr. Sheriff, don't worry over the fact that your receptacle for criminals remains empty. All the good people of Josephine county will rejoice that such Is the case. Much Realty Chaniiing Hands.
