J- Mgurca, showing that the tax situ ation existing in Jackaon county la one of atate-wid proportions, were recently released in the Oregon Tax payer. "As figures for the first quar terly payment of taxes ere analysed, .- the Taxpayer states, it becomes "pain fully apparent that the quarterly payment plan, and the three per cent reduction tor payment In full hare fallen far short of a solution of our delinquent tax problem. In a fewer of the wealthier coun ties with heavy utility taxpayers, the results ere apparently quite satisfac tory. But even in these, there remains a heavy residue of unpaid taxes which will come in very slowly during the rest of the year. But It Is out In the counties which were hardest hit during the past three years that the solution has failed most completely. No sort of inducement could be effective here. "You can't drew blood from a turnip," runs the old proverb. Curry county, for example, took In only 0.7 per cent of Its taxes; whilo 74.7 per cent of Its 1932 taxes, pay able In 1933, are still delinquent. Wheeler received lfl.4 per cent of the 1034 tax and Is still 67.7 per cent de linquent in 1933 payments. Jefferson got 33 per cent for 1934 and Is still behind 67.7 per cent for 1933. ; A. little better off. but still disap pointing, are Douglas with a 31 per cent paid up; Sherman and Gilliam with 33, Lake with 37 and Malheur with 38. The average delinquency on the 1938 tax payments for these five counties la 38 per cent. There is no doubt but that the amendments to our tax laws mark a step in the right direction. It la now good business to pay your taxes n you can possibly manage it. Thousands went to their banks and borrowed the money In order to pay their taxes In full and take advantage of. the discount. They had figured It out, as the utilities did, that they could save money toy making tempor ary loans to tide them over until funds were available. But the new plan brought no relief to the fellow with no funds and no oredlt at the bank. The bald, ugly, unwelcome truth still stares us in the face that the general property tax has broken down. County officers, school teach ers, deputies and office girls are being paid In warrants which are scarce "worth a continental." At any rate, we are through with the nsslnlne Mott law, which placed a premium on delinquency by making non-payment of taxes the easiest credit available. JUBILEE TO PAY While entertainment features will be numerous during Oregon's Dia mond Jubilee celebration In Medford and Jacksonville next June 3 to 3, a festive, Joy-inreB trained spirit will not reign over Jubilee week. The guiding Inspiration la the opportun ity of paying homage and tribute to the adventurous pioneer men and women whose bravery and courageous deeds played such An Important part In Oregon history. The primary purpose of the cele bration la the honoring of these ad vontu rous souls whose works will live on through the years undlmmed on the pages of unforgotable his tory. It was because of this thought that the state legislature In Its last special session designated Medford and Jacksonville as the official host cities for the observance of Oregon's 76th anniversary. The special church observances of Sunday, the opening day, and union services In the evening, are clonrly Indicative of the dignity of the en tire Jubilee week, which, of course, will present numerous entertainment features to occupy the time of the thousands of visitors during tho cel ebration. The same will witness the arrival of Secretary of Agriculture Wallace In Medford. He will official ly open the Jubilee and will present an address at the county fairgrounds during the afternoon. The pioneer thought Is stressed In all preparations and every considera tion Is being paid these hardy spirits who laid the foundation for what Oregon Is today, Registrations of old time residents who have resided In Oregon for more than 60 years was begun several days ago and doa- BIG PINES LUMBER 00.
