Tax Collection Facts Given
42 PER CENT FAIL TO PAY UP
Publicity at Conventions
Work of New
Law Indicated
From County Assessor W. T. Lee we
Uarn that a little more than 71 per
cent of the 1930 taxes, payable in 1931,
in Klumath county, have been collect
ed. Another set of figures from Mr.
Lee shows that 58 per cent of all the
property owners billed have paid their
1!K!0 taxes, while 42 per cent have not
In other words, the 71 per cent of
paid-up taxes represents payments by
58 per cent of the property owners.
Conversely, the 29 per cent delinquency
can be laid at the door of 42 per cent
of the property owners billed.
These figures are interesting for a
number of reasons. They indicate the
heavy proportion of taxes paid by large
taxpayers, and they indicate that these
large taxpayers pay up.
But most significant is the large num
ber from the rank and file of small
taxpayers who have not paid up.
Twenty-nine per cert delinquency on
actual money due in taxes is not a sur
prisingly large figure in that year. The
year before, it was in the neighborhood
of 20 per cent.
But 42 per cent delinquency among
the property owners billed for taxes
is a large figure, and an alarming one.
That means that 3368 taxpayers have
not yet paid their 1930 taxes, as against
4670 who have paid.
This heavy delinquency can probably
be traced to two causes hard times
and the new state law removing all
penalty for non-payment of taxes ex
cept straight eight per cent interest on
the amount delinquent
Undoubtedly, if the heavier penalty
were still imposed, a good many of the
delinquent property holders would have
managed to dig up their tax money.
Under existing conditions, and unless
the sense of public responsibility is
highly developed, it proves easier and
more convenient for many to let the
county hold the sack.
The new measure, which in reality
puts the county in the banking busi
ness, was passed without a full real
ization of its probable effect There is
good cause for the movement under
way for its repeal.
Make Wonderland
Known to Visitors
The coming year is one of numerous
national and international events on
the Pacific coast The Olympic games
at Los Angeles, the national conven
tion of the American Legion at Port
land, and the Shrine convention at
Seattle are outstanding, but only a few
of the important gatherings scheduled
in the Far West.
A great deal is expscted of
these events in the way of bringing
visitors to the coast who will make the
trip an occasion for seeing the most in
teresting sights and enjoying the most
pleasing recreation to be found on the
coast
Just how much we are to benefit
from this great visitation depends to
no small extent on what we do in the.
way of acquainting the delegates at
these events of the advantages to be
gained in visiting our area. This point
was brought out emphatically at Red
ding the other day at a meeting of the
directors of the Shasta-Cascade Won
derland association, by Peter Gerig.
Lassen county supervisor and director
of the association.
Fortunately, it has been brought to
the attention of the association at this
early date. It is the sort of a job the
association can do well, and there is
no question that the nine counties of
northern California and Southern Ore
gon, which constitute the association's
Wonderland, offer all that could be
asked to tempt the sight-seeing dele
gates. Here are two wonders of the world
Crater Lake and Mt Lassen. Here
are 10,000 miles of rivers and streams.
Here are 10,000 lakes. Here are 10,
000 miles of county, state and federal
highways. Here are fishing and hunt
ing unexcelled. One finds no difficulty
in working up enthusiasm over the possibilities.
Exactly 1524 mishaps occurred at
street intersections in Oregon last
month. Most of them were undoubted
ly due to entrance of the intersection
at too great a speed and without tak
ing time to look for the other fellow.
The street corner is one place where
he who hesitates is not lost.

VOW KAI L
I look forth from my window
And the ground ia all so white;
The hills, so brown Just
yesterdsy
Have all changed overnight.
Whence come this silvery sheet
That covers all the ground?
It aottly drops down from the

And scarcely makes a sound.
It covers all the ugly scars
That have been mads by man.
It Is a robe of purity
Just laid on naked land.

Typhoid Is controlled lsrgely
today by proper coutrol ot food
supplies, milk and wster throush
muult'lpal agencies. It Is difficult,
however, to eliminate the source
from which food, water and milk
may be contaminated when the
contamination la caiued by a hu
man carrier. It typhoid fever Is
to be ollmluated entirely, the pos
sibility of continuous spresd of
the disease from the human car
rier must be prevented.
In Chicago from April 1, 110,
to April 1, lll. thsre were 1371
deaths from typhoid fever, repre
senting approximately 14.000
cases. In Cleveland In January,
l0l, notwithstanding that some
knowledge of typhoid and Its con
trol had already developed, there
were during the It months fol
lowing 4t7s rssea and til deaths.
In each Inslance the outbreak
was traced to some contamination
of water by the carelessness of
an Individual and the lark ot
suitable eonlrol. in 1KI, an
epidemic occurred In Plymouth.
Pennsylvania, a mining town with
only aOuu Inhabitants, There
were 1104 case: reported and
111 deaths, In this Instance the
outbreak was caused by the care
less disposal of excretions of one
patient with typhoid fever who
happened to live In an Isolated
bouee on the bank of one of the
small brooks which joined the
river from which wster was put
into the reservoir tor tbe town,
Kvery now and then a dramatic
outbreak occurs In some city
which has not given sufficient at
tention to the dangers ot water
polluted by sewage. Wben Ih
situation develops, committee
get busy, the city fathers are
notified and a pure water supply
Is Insured. Prevention Is far
cheaper than cure.
Tbe mortality from this dis
ease has been reduced by vs per
cent. The control of carriers In
dicates that there are about half
as many now aa there were In
1910. Dr. James i. Cummins
estimates thst It will require at
least another ! years to elimi
nate carriers entirely.
In the meantime, the barriers
against transmission cannot be
lowered. Public water supplies
must continue to be purified and
chlorinated: milk must be paste
urised, and human beings gener
ally must be taught the Import
ance of everyday hygiene, parti
cularly cleanliness ot the banda.
