PUBLICITY THE SAFEST METHOD
(From the Daily Marshfield Times.)
The purpose of the publication of the delinquent tax list is
two fold:
. t First To give notice to property owners that their taxes are
delinquent
Second To enforce the payment of those taxes and thus se
cure the needed revenue for the conduct of the county and state
governments.
The Times contends that the publication of the delinquent
tax list accomplishes both results at a minimum of expense to the
home and plants beds of blowoms, should not be troubled by petty
pilfering. Probably the oncs.who took the flowers didn't, suppose

the matter of parental responsibility and the public interest in

it has found some effectual means for the enforcement of respon

of facts for rooting. Still, while they have been, in certain instan
ces, taking away from us with one hand, they have been returning
to us in the way of taxes, increased land values, wages, service,
et cetera, with the other. In short, while they have grabbed a con
siderable number of our heard earned dollars, they have given us
in return a great, Bplendid country ln which to live. But for the
railroatia we would still be wearing coon skin caps, depending on
our trusty (?) flint-locks for the next meal, and chasing or being

these things when we have a little dab of freight' to be hauled.
