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.
