Within tho last wook thoro have been mora now cases roportod than nt any tlmo pre vious, which shows plainly that tho epidemic is on tho Increaso. Ono of tho principal reasons for -this is that uomu of our citizens do not consider It serious, nro careless and Indlfferont, and nro not trying to help stamp it out. I had reported to .mjt tho first of tho week that a social function was hold by sovoral ladles where-thoy gnthorcd In tho homo of a friend and spoilt tho ovonlug.

Sam Jackson, self-appointed guard ian of the public weal, has decreed through the columns ol the Portland Journal that the delinquent tax publi cation law and the statuto defining legal rates .shall be cast !n the discard at tho coming election. This is In : German military authorities are car effect the mandate published each day I rying off everything that It is pos In tho Journal, and in place of tho j Bible to take to Germany. They are rresent statutes, Mr. Jackson wia "substitute" a couple of pet measures of his own. ' The citizens of Oregon, as a' conse- quence, are debating on whether thoy ihould follow Mr. Jackson's -Injunc- ' tlon. or wheathcr it would be sale to j consciences. If-they are at all hes- Itant to comply with 'the Jackson edict, ' It is probably because they realize Mr. jjacknoa is nn old hand at telling' folks how to cast their ballots And that his .desires in the matter ao noLatwayaxo - lnelde with the views of tho clt'icns. This was notably the case a fejv, years ago when Mr. Jackson attempted to foist off single tax on Oregon. The two measures in question are now being considered by tho voters of tho state, and it seems to be tho well defined concensus of opinion in every section, that thq present laws are fair minded citizen and the taxpayer in particular. -The present tax publication law pro- vldcs that mall notice be sent out to tho taxpayer. This fact you do not soo mentioned in the columns or the Journal. "Then, after failure of mail i notice, the tox lists are to be pub- Hshed. Thus is the delinquent taxpay- er protected as 'far as possible. Jackson's law would abolish the , publication altogether, and leave thei delinquent nt the mercies of the. tax title crabber.
