PROBLEM OF TAXES
UNDER
DISCUSS
Auditor, Treasurer and Club Committee Had Meeting Yesterday.
A $46,000 DELINQUENCY
Several Favor Requiring All Men to Show Receipts at Polls.
L. S. Bowman, county auditor, and Albert Chamness, county treasurer, met with the Commercial Club committee on taxation last night and discussed the problem of taxes and tax collection. Mr. Chamness stated that since last May he had sent out over 5,000 notices taxes to go delinquent. Of these noticeh 624 were returned to the treasurer's office, the persons having moved, and could not be located through the post office. Altogether about 46,000 of taxes are delinquent,. $8.00 on real estate and the rest on personal property. . Although taking no definite action concerning any of the questions discussed the committee considered several methods of facilitating the collection of taxes.' It was decided that
it would be a good idea for the county auditor to supply the township trustees and the school officers with a list of the persons whose taxes were delinquent, and that the amount be deducted from the salaries of persons in their employ. Several favored requiring all men to show tax receipts at the polls before allowing them to vote. Men fearing to lose their vote would thus be more prompt in the payment of their taxes. It was suggested that to make notes and mortgages valid for collection, the stamp of the county assessor be necessary. This would bring out all notes and mortgages which are not given in, and upon which the holders are not paying taxes. The committee decided to investigate tax legislation in other states which has provided an exemption on ft certain amount of property not to exceed' $150. Advocates of this plan said that it would exempt the persons who held very little property and were not really able to pay taxes At the same time it would rob the rich man of his argument that his neighbor had not paid his taxes, and that the officials were trying to hold him up. He would have the benefit of the same exemption, but it would not mean as much to him as to tthe poor man. The county officers thought that tax ferrets should be under the supervision of the state, and not of the county. The system of having ferrets employed y the county has been trid in

L FOR T
AREJPTIMISTIC While Waiting for Hearing He Bombards Government for Aid.
(National News Association) SHERBROOK, Que., Aug. 22 While Attorney Shurtleff was in Ottawa today pleading with the immigration department of the Dominion government to turn Harry K. Thaw
loose to go anywhere he pleased, Thaw sat in the St. Francis jail here bombarding various official circles in the United States to come to his aid. Having won a big victory in getting arguments on his habeas corpus postponed until next week, Thaw was in a hopeful frame of mind and said that he thought either the U S. government or the government of Pennsylvania would eventually come to his aid. He charged that he is the victim of a conspiracy which he hopes soon to reveal Thompson Hearing. The feature of the day in the Thaw case was the hearing of "Kducated Roger" Thompson, the New York chauffeur, who drove the automobile in which Thaw fled from the Mattewan, N. Y., asylum for the criminal insane. Thompson was arrested in the Superior courtroom here on the charge of aiding and abetting an undesirable alien to enter the country. His attorney, Mr. Shurtleff, was out of town but he had assurances that another one of Thaw's lawyers would defend him. The penalty for his offense is a fine of from $50 to $500. There is no prison penalty attached. Thompson has been in jail here, being completely overshadowed by the Interest attaching to Thaw's case. The position taken by Thompson is that he cannot be tried until it is definitely established that Thaw is an undesirable alien.
"Is the World Growing Better or Worse?" was the text of an interesting speech made by William Mitchell today at the Chautauqua on the subject "Optomism versus Pessimism." He discussed the question from every standpoint taking first the views of the pessimist, then optimist, and concluded his talk by contrasting the two. He showed pessimism in its worst
form, its modifications and its relation I
to God and humanity. "Greek philosophers and teachers of centuries ago were pessimists," he declared. "Their works denote it. The cause of pessimism is due to a lack of faith in God and humanity at large. There are different pessimists in society. The grumbler, the religious fanatic are only two of these various kinds of pessimists. i "These pessimists are separate from the rest of the people and I quote this poem 'Verily distance lends enchantment and familiarity breeds in
difference and lack of appreciation.' The pessimists are unappreciative of the good in the world and follow not the doctrine of God. "The attitude of the optimist toward the world is- just opposite to that of the pessimist. The optimists take the mosthopeful view and while recognizing the existence of the pessimists entertain the idea that some d.V they will be extinct.
"The optimists look forward to the time when War will be a thing of the past, when intemperance will be unknown and when sin Is a horror. "The best cure for pessimism is to look on the bright side of things and refrain from foreseeing trouble. Look for the good in everybody and forget their faults. This may be difficult to do but continual practise in this like everything else leads eventually to the point you seek. Mr. Mitchell's address was interspersed with humor and quotations from poets. His subject was one which appealed to the better nature of all those who heard him and his words were given close attention. The speaker closed with a quotation from Charles Summers which predicted eventually Humanity reaching the "Happy" goal.
