IAX PAYMENT- MADE EASY BY PROPOSED BILL SALEM, Ore, Feb. 12. Tho flual draft of the tax collection bill as pre pared by Joint committee on tsscus Biont and taxation, changed tonic what from tho committee's original plan, was Introduced In tho bouse this nftcrndon. Under the bill payment Is divided squarely Into two halves on April 6 and October 5," with Interest on the first half running at the rate of one per cent a month, but no Interest or penalty on delinquent taxes starting to run until November 5. The ten tative bill of tho committco has made all tnxe3 duo on April 5 Kith the pro vision that one-half could bo paid at that time under penalties. Under this bill only one-half of the taxes become due on April 5. The penalty on delinquent taxes is re duced from 10 per cent to five por cent. Tho new bill was framed after a long session of tho committco last night. Tho only point that caused discussion and question as to tho fea tures of this now bill was whether the leniency shown would result in a failure to bring a requisite amount of the taxes. E. S. Iluckaby, chief deputy in tho treasurer's office in Multnomah coun ty, was present at the meeting and eeemed to be Inclined to adopt a more stringent form of a bill, although he approved the half payment plan, but would have the penalty run In a mors strict manner than under the present bill. A BRAltAM LtNCOLN is enshrined in the henvls of his sV. CQimtrvmen as no other man of his time, lie has heen called the first typical Aiueriean to sit in the seats othe mighty, the first really American product, developed in American environment, unfettered by traditions of nix older civilization. However, Lincoln was no more typical of the America of his dav than Andrew .Jackson of his. However brightly his fame may shine, it cannot dim the luster of Goorge'Washington as the greatest American, and perhaps the greatest citizen, of all times. In his own day Lincoln was beloved of the masses and despised of the classes. The revolt against enthroned priv ilege and predatory plutocracy which, since tho days of Andrew Jackson, had captured the Democratic party and made it undemocratic, created the democratic Republican party, which found its greatest leader in Lincoln. There were no "Wall street celebrations of Lincoln's election. There were no silk stocking banquets in his honor. A plain, homely, humanitarian product of the backwoods and prairies", no man in history ever endured more abuse, villification and misrepresentation. Only a tragic death struck the blinders of partisan prejudice from the eyes of defamers, only with time came the just measure of the man. "With time also has come the worship of his name and the neglect and repudiation of his ideals. In countless cities they are observing Lincoln s anni vcrsary. It is made the excuse for a rally around the flag of stand-pattism. Ills noble name and life are cited as in centives to American youth to enroll under the standard of the party that resembles Lincoln's party only in name, for the pari of Taf t is no more the party of Lincoln than the party of Buchanan was the party of Jackson. The name survives, the spirit is dead. If Lincoln wer to return to earth he would find his temple defiled and would doubtless scourge the money changers from its precincts. He would find the party he created used for many years, as a cloak for privilege, while his own name was used to delude the masses. lie would find that his party had betrayed the nation by bartering for political patronage the heritage of the people and the natural resources in the hands of monopolies fostered by his party's legislation, creating billionaires and paupers. What would Lincoln do 7 Would lie strive to jjerpetu ate plutocracy, along with the present day leaders of the republican party? Would he enjoy a banquet in his own honor, given by the very class that during his lifetime bit terly fought him. and haven't had a new political idea, other than the protection of privilege, since he left? "Would he not again strive to strike the shackles from humanity? The name of Lincoln is a sorry satire at a standpat banquet, for whatever Lincoln was, he was not a stand patter and had nothing in common with standpatters.

AH Wa people am urd The recent appointment of A. C. Allen an district horticultural com missioner for tho third district and the consequent chnngo in policy re garding tho horticultural inspection work of Jackson county, makes it de sirable at this timo that the present plan be outlined to tho growers, since tho success of the plan depends upon tho hearty co-operation of all con cerned. Shortly after entering upon his of fico Mr. Allen appointed M. P. Hen derson, deputy district horticultural commissioner for tho third district, with authority of immediuto super vision over tho inspection work in Jackbon county. Together, Mr. Al len and Dr. Henderson formulated a plan of action which was submitted to the county court and approved by thorn. The county has been divided into four inspection districts, each of which is to have ono inspector. An inspector has not vet been nssigncd to tho Ashland district, hut tho mat ter is under consideration with a view to immediate, action. Inspector u Jtcsldcnt The present plan assumes that the inspector will bo a resident of his dis trict, and that his operations will bo entirely within that district. Ho is supposed to work his field connect! tivelv from ono end to tho other in such manner as to allow tho maxi mum of time for uetual inspection in tho orchards and to reduce tho ex pense for travel to the minimum. The inspector is a "police officer," whoso duty it is to visit all orchurds within his district at regulur intervals to see that they uro kept free from all ests ot whatever nuture thut are detri mental to the fruit industry of the county. Inspection is to be made independ ently of the owner or oureluker of tho orchard, and is to involve the least tiniu compatible with efficient work. If blight or other pests, which is the immediuto object of the visit, is found within tho first few minutes to bo prevalent in un orchard, tho inspector need not prolong his stay in that orchard. Xo Cutting of Wight It is nut desirable that he attempt to locate every case of blight or other troubles, or even nny largo percentage of it. Neither is it desirable that hu spend any time in uniting out blight or in attempting to erudicuto any other post from the orchurd; hut rather is it his duty to rail tho atten tion of the owner of tho orchard to tho fact that such pests exist in his propeity, uml suggest to him the tie eofetity (or prompt R'tWtiVH tu UlC matter. To thii end tho inspector is provided with blnnkn on which he re cords the time spent in tho orchnrd, the condition of the orchnrd as far as plant disease ami insect pests are concerned, the efforts that are being tnado by the owner to control these pests nnd tho inspector's rocommen dations to the rowcr. Tho report is made out in duplicate, one copy to be left with the orchardist and the other to be filed in the office of the county pathologist mo owner or some other person connected with tho orchard will be asked to sign this report as n receipt. Ilcportp Kept oa I'tlo The inspection reports for all or cbnrds are kept permanently on file in the pathologist's office, so that from the beginning of tho current year the record of conditions in any orchard will be available at any time. Records of all miscellaneous1 inspec tion such as nursery stock, shrubs, vegetables, etc., are also on file. If for any reason a grower desires tho sen-ices of an inspector ut nny timo other than thut of the regular visit, ho should send his request to the pathologist's office early enough to I term it us to meet his wishes without interfering with work already plann ed. Unless otherwise directed from tho office, the inspectors are in structed to follow their rogulnr rou tine of lvoik. Our purpose in this plan is to keep in closest possiblo touch with prob lems of plant disease ami insect con trol in this valley, nnd to render the most efficient service ossiblo in the solution of tliCKo problems, This re sult can only be attained through the hearty co-operation of all parties concerned. It is not possiblo for tho inspectors, bo they ever o efficient in their work, to keep tho pests of this county under control. Neither is it possible for ihn district commissioner, county pathologist nnd inspectors working together, to accomplish this purpose. We must nlso have the unanimous help of tho growers if wo would succeed. Theo nre commun ity problems in which we nre all in terested nnd upon the solution of which depends the success or fail uro of our greutost industry. We, there fore, apical to tho orchnrdistH to oid us in this task, not alone by prompt and thorough work in their individual orchards, but also by exciting an in fluence in favor of sanitary methods in adjoining properties, It frequent ly happens that un inspector finds an unkept orchard which is apparently abandoned, and it requires a great deal of time and ewiwr pr purflOH properly. It(ideittM of such a nelglt borhood would render us n very nm tcrinl aid if they would call our at tcutiou to such nei'lectrd orchard and could nvo us information thut would enahlo us to Inento tho res'tonslblo person. Impaction Obligatory It sometimes hnpieus that nu in spector is looked upon as an intruder in an orchnrd, and when culling at tention to the fact that blight exists in tho orchnrd, may he mot with tho wjly, uVa vou think I need you to como nround hero nnd tell nu that!" The inspector has no choice in such cases. He is instructed to inspect every orchard in his district and ro port its condition and mnka recom mendations to the owner for clennint: it tip. V do not urose antagoniz ing tho grower in these instances, and we much prefer that he remain our friend; but the. interests nt stake, not nlouo in his orchard, hut in thoso of his neighbors, demand that ho receive the same attention that is accorded to everyone else. Pests must bo ernd icatd wherever and whenever they are found. Our most pressing problem nt the present time is the eradication of nil blight cankers before tho active move ment of sap begins in the spring. The time is short and there is still much to be done. Wo nre convinced that the most dangerous cankers nre in the crown nnd roots. This applies to ap ple, pear and quince of whntever va riety, and no one should tnnko the mistake of thinkim: that his orchard or nny part of it is immune, for it is not. We mhiso a ery careful and critical 'examination of even tree be low ground to make vure that the crown nnd imemdintely ndjaeent root portions nre free from this disease. The eradication of one undent can ker nt this season probably means more toward blight control than would tho blowing out of an acre of infected trees nfter the blight bepius to run. The only sure way to held it in check is to destroy the centers of infection before nny distribution from those centers takes plnce. Great care should be exercised in uncovering tin roots to prevent injury ami to avoid the possibility of producing infection where there was none. All tools should be thoroughly disinfected be tween trees to make suro that the dis. case is nqj carried from one tree to another. Again we would emphasize the importance of tho use of clean sponges, good fresh solution, free from nny sort of precipitate nnd of u thorough drenching of the parts to be sterilized. M. P.
