Cyclone Cold Cure Is breaking up cold every day. When thinking of drug store wants think of The St. Johns Pharmacy Leading Druggists The following review of the old and new tax laws, given by City Attorney LaRoche of Portland, should be carefully read by every taxpayer, and the obnoxious features of the new law carefully noted.

It may save expenses by becoming familiar with its provisions: The laws of 1907 provided that the taxes shall be paid on or before the first Monday, in April. paid on or March 15, a rebate of 3 per cent was allowed. Taxpayers were given the option of paying one-half of their taxes on or before the first Monday in April, and upon such payment the payment of the second half was postponed until the first Monday in October, and if paid at that time no penalty or interest was attached. If the first half was not paid by the first Monday in April, the whole tax became delinquent and was subject to a 10 per cent penalty, and interest at the rate per cent per annum. If the first half was paid on or before the first Monday in April, but the second half was not paid on or before the first Monday in October, such second half thereupon became delinquent, a ten per cent penalty was imposed and interest computed at twelve per cent per annum from the date of the payment of the first installment.

The law of 1913 materially changed this provision of the law of 1907. Under the latter law, taxes are payable before April 1 of each year. No rebate is allowed at all. On April 1 the taxes become delinquent. A penalty of 1 per cent a month is charged on that portion of taxes paid after April 1 and paid before September 1.

The law, however, permits of onehalf of the taxes being paid before April! 1 and the remainling one-half to be paid prior to September 1. However, if advantage is taken of this provision the penalties heretofore set forth are computed on the second half of the taxes until it is paid. The act further provides that all taxes remaining unpaid on the first day of September shall become delinquent and subject to a penalty of ten per cent and interest at the rate of twelve per cent per annum from the date on which they became delinquent until their payment. Under the old law, taxes were payable on the first Monday in April. Under the new law they are payable on the first day of April.

Under installment the old law the due second and became payable on the first Monday in October. Under the new law the second installment must be paid prior to the first day of September. Under the old law certificates of delinquency bearing interest at the rate of fifteen per cent per annum were issued at the expiration of six months after the date of delinquency. Under the new law such certificates of delinquency bearing the same rate of interest shall be issued at the expiration of one month after the date of delinquency, The provisions of the and sale of land for with reference to the foreclosure. taxes by the holder of the certificate of delinquency have not been altered.

Under the new law, the County, Treasurer is made Tax Collector and the Sheriff is constituted the collector of delinquent taxes. Note the label on your paper..
