alternative bat to publish the list of
|' taxes unpaid. (Attention of the taxpayers
is directed to some important
. facts noted below:

that the taxes have not been paid.
2. Delinquent taxes published! today

3. The publishing of a name on
the delinquent list does not exonerate
one from payment of taxes.
-It is a warning of what is worse to
come. The county court at the
June term will appoint collectors for
eollectfne the remaining tax. This
will make an additional cost.
4. Taxes on real estate atter having
'been approved by the county

additional fee.
- i5-'. "Examine the .list carefully. You
may have overlooked some receipt. |
It may be charged in some name
other.than.yours,.because the trans-j
fer has not been made. iReal estate
stands good "for Its "own tax regard-)
lens of the name In which It Is
charged.
C. Show this list to your neighbors.

out who pays the tax when not'
charged to the" proper person. Notify

a meeting for 9 o'clock today With,
' the prospect of an all day and night
' session.
[ The .California case promeed ' .tp.
> bring the title of the whole delegation
Into question owing'to the conl
filet between the California primary
law and the call' for the .national
t convention.
The convention call provided that
1 the voters or each congressional dis1
trlct have the .privilege of choosing
> two delegates to the national convention.
Tinder the OalHonia law,
. although the returns showed some
' Taft delegates had been selected,
the secretary of state acting under
the state law, gave all the delegates
to Roosevelt because of his large
majority fn the state'.
later the secretary decl0ad.. .that
the boundaries between the Fourth
and Fifth district^ were not clearly
defined, thus complicating the case
aalt waa presented to the committee
today.
In the .Louisiana case, which the
committee exepected ttf reach late,
the regularity of the state organlza- ,
tlon is directly at Issue. There arel
two sets of delegates at large from J
. (Arizona, one for Taft and one lor
i (Roosevelt, tie latter having been se[
lected after Taft men organized the
state convention.
Forty-five members of the commlt,
tee were- present when Its delllberai
tiqns were restlmed today. *i
After much discussion the Arizona
Taft delegation of six delegates was
i seated and the committee took up
I the California case.
The Arizona delegates at large .
were seated for Taft.
Taft delegates from the Fourth 0
California district were seated, and a
the contest from the First district of a
Louisiana was taken up.
, Recourse to Roosevelt men elected e

William Flinn, of Pittsburg, should tl

made this statement today In a vlg- n
