Superintendent Knighten TAX COLLECTION explains, is due to the stress of A bill is now in the legislature which would perm the times, while the increase in the coat of the Rufus high school is those who pay their current taxes in full to pay, withoi due to the growth of the school. penalty or interest, a quarter or more of each year of delii quent taxes. Thia is a step ahead of the bill which passed last see. sion only to be vetoed by the governor. That bill canceled interest and penalty on delinquent taxes of 1931 and 1932. whether taxes were paid or not. The present bill woulc eventually cure the delinquent tax situation, although in some instances it would take over 20 years. If it is assumed that those who have not paid their taxes since 1930 have not done so because of lack of funds, the bill is justified. If, as many legislators argue, those who have not paid have failed to do so because of a hope and belief that interest and penalty would be removed some day, the bill is not justified. We believe that the former case is true and that the principal reason for non-payment of taxes is lack of money. This bill, if it becomes law, will permit a man to pick up his delinquency gradually and retain his property. Thost who are holding off payments will receive the same favors given to those who are honest but in financial straits, but that can not very well be helped. A man is considered somewhat below normal if he at tempts to prophesy the weather more than a day ahead of time, but a scientist has recently told what earthquakes will occur for the next thousand years. Believe it or not. It seems reasonable that the legislature should definite ly establish the site, the size and the cost of the new capl- tol, but it appears that it may not do so as a large number are in favor of leaving a 1 that to a commission. It is true that a commission must be appointed, but the major prob lems should be decided for that group before ths session Recent patronage results at the legislative session lead to the belief that stenographers and clerks should be named on a civil service basis and by a civil service board. There would be fewer and better assistants to the legis lators if that were the case. Recent stories that many were laid off because of the newspaper reports have come from the firing of two committee clerks and two mailing committee clerks, one of which was replaced with another. More than 7,000 Oregon Blue Books have been placed in school rooms and libraries of the state during the last two weeks as a part of the free distribution of the state directory authorized by law. The book, which serves in many schools to supplement textbooks on history and civics of Oregon has been compiled and published by Earl Snell, secretary of state. The supply of books for the schools is centralized through the offices of county school superin tendents throughout the state and in the office of the city superin tendent of schools in Portland. Requests for copies for school use are placed with the superintendent rather than direct with the secre tary of state, in order to afford a general and equitable distribution of the limited number of copies available.
