statements will start tomorrow,
it was announced this morning
by Sheriff Howard Gault.
Statements will be mailed
first to property owners living
outside of Jackson county. The
second mailing will go to county
residents outside of Medford,
and the third to those living in
Medford,
It will take three or four days
to complete mailing of. 'all state
ments, Gault said. ,
Deadlines Told ' :
The deadline for ' taking a
three per cent discount for full
payment in 'advance ls. Nov4!la,
Those paying three-fourths of
their total taxes by that date
will receive a two per cent dis
count, and a one per cent dis
count will be given those paying
half of their taxes by Nov.. IS.
Taxes also may be paid by
quarters, but without a discount.
Any statements bearing a post
mark to midnight, Nov. IS, will
be honored for discounts.
Taxes for the first quarter be
come delinquent after Nov. 15
and the deadline for each subse
quent quarter is three months,
six months, and nine months
thereafter. Delinquent taxes

per month or fraction thereof.

Senator Thye paid tribute to
Senator Cordon's work in the
senate, particularly in confer,
ence committee sessions and on
te senate appropriations com
mittee, on which the Minnesota
Republican also serves..
"Cordon doesn't speak much,
but when he does, his opinions
are respected," Senator Thye de
clared. "His service gives a cer
tainty that the United States will
progress as it has in the past,
with a philosophy of free enter
prise and freedom of man."
- "Cordon is not a conservative"
in regard to development of ad
ditional electrical power, and aid
to the lumber industry, Senator
Thye state. "He is one of the
most astute students of govern
ment when it comes to careful
consideration of appropriations."
Cites Humane Work

ance given in construction of
educational facilities, and said
"No administration has had the
humane thought of the Eisen
hower administration."

have destroyed our defense, or
did not cut taxes," Senator Thye
declared. "The Elsenhower ad
ministration is trying td bring
business into government be
cause government is the biggest
business in the world."
In answer to "giveaway"
charges levelled at the adminis
tration, Senator Thye stated "We
are not in a frame of mind to rob
the nation of its resources, but
to protect free enterprise." The
senator also paid tribute to the
work done in Europe by Secre

at the recent London and Paris
conferences.
"This is an important elec
