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.

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.
