LEXINGTON ITEMS
TAX VULTURES WILL PROFIT
TAXPAYERS WILL LOSE
There is a scheme on foot to wipe out the present de
linquent tax law now in effecc in the state of Oregon.
Those behind the plan would substitute in its place a piece
of pernicious legislation, cleverly devised by the Portland
journal and a certain clique of politicians.
The scheme is a clever one at first observation and by
reason of the fact that one: of the backers of the proposed
change is a !rnan of independent wealth at the head of a
Portland paper, the columns of that paper the Portland
journal have been thrown open to further the measure
and befuddle the voters' minds at the cominrr election. Bv
smooth camouflage of the facts, and sometimes by direct
misrepresentation the voters are led to believe that the
proposed measure is one originated and to be passed en
tirely; in their own interests.
This is the influence that comes from reading the
Portland Journal's propaganda for the abolishment of the
present delinquent tax bill now in force in the state of Ore-
gon
The editor of this paper is not in the habit of instruct
ing his readers how to vote in various elections. As a rule
we consider the voter will support the measures which he
believes to be of worth, and register his protest with a vig
orous "NO" on useless or pernicious legislation. This is
the rule usually followed by the country newspaper .man,
but when direct misrepresentation of fact is resorted to in
an effort to lure the favor of the voting public, it is high
time that the voters are advised of true conditions. There
fore the editor of this paper has the following statement to
make to the readers of this paper.
The present delinquent tax law was passed by the
State legislature of Oregon, the men you and 1 sent to Sa
lem to represent us in affairs of state.
It is a fair law, devised in the interest of the tax payer,
to give him a square deal in the hour of emergency, and to
protect him in that hour from the tax title vulture and the
scheming land attorney. It provides for the publication
of the delinquent tax list, it is true, but it also provides
and this is the part of the law the Portland Journal would
have you overlook that publication of the delinquents
shall only be made after a mail notice has been sent out,
regularly advising the delinquent that his taxes have not
