pursued to ward securing the enactment of a measure thai will enable the state and counties to wipe out all taxes that have been delinquent for a specified term of years and thus enable the state to meet at least in part its out standing indebtedness It is stated at the office of the state auditor that there are probably 4000000 due the state much of which has been stand ing on the books for years and some of which will probably never be paid unless some measures more potent for collection of the states revenues is en acted than has ever yet been provided At the same time the state has an outstanding indebtedness of about 1 250000 which seems in no tair way to be paid unless a method is invented by which the state may realize upon the old taxes due it Estimates that have been prepared show that there is now due the state and its various counties in delinquent taxes something like 8000000 Taxes have in many instances been allowed to accomulate until it is often impossible to find any one willing to take the land and agree to pay the taxes thus rendering such properties of no service to the state in raising its necessary annual reve nues Sweet Peas Bloom on Thanksgiving ASHLAND
