!A'ijyjH,
Heavy Residue Of Unpaid
Taxes Survey Shows
Curry County Delinquency
Cited As Example.
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-
