There la Just pno way to put a atop tn dangerous scheming In taxntlon nnd tt the same time provide a anfo founda tion for genulno tnx reform. Funda mental defects, productlvo of tho groHa Ml Injustice, cannot bo corrected with out flrHt amending tho constitution In the manner hero proposed. Without so amending the constitu tion of Oregon our present farcical pro tense of taxing lntnnglblo personal property must be continued. With tho adoption of these amendments Oregon can provide by statute an effective method of tnxliiK this largo body ol wealth, either by a tnx on Incomes as In Wisconsin, or by a specific taxes as in Minnesota, Iowa, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Now York, Uhodo Island nnd other stntos. Without so amending tho constitu tion we are poworloas to ennct nny iclentlfln plnn for the taxation of lor- wt and water powers, to dorlvo a proper rovonue therefrom ond nt the ami? tlmo promote tho conservation and development of theso natural re sources. Without so amending tho constitu tion wo cannot tnke advantage of tho HoHt npproved methods In the taxation and regulation of public service com panies, nor provide nny fair apportion ment of the revenues derived from the taxntlon of such companies. Without so amending tho conHtltu tlon wo cannot enact a fair and effic ient law for the taxntlon of nutomo bllus, and for the proper distribution or tho Improvement of the public high ways. Unions these amendments are ndop1. td wu must contlne to struggle along wltia nn unworkable system of taxa tion, such as litis already been (llscard about) one-third ot the states of Kmll.-w 'and is being shapen olt us rapidly as possible In all the others. "'"4 thn adoption of these amend tjicnts, Oregon enn take advantage of '"8 wlseat economic counsel and the l"'t administrative experience In tnxa fn and liarmonlao Its statutes with He fairest and soundest enactments of 0,ner states. Negative Argument. To confer upon the legislature power to levy taxes on such property and in such mntiuer as shall be prescrllixd bv ueneial Inwa Is n most cxtracrd'nnry grant of power. Under these nilmeml niviits stnto tnxen may be levhil upon certnln classes of property at one rutc, r-'lr'b local tuxes are levied upon other (lueses nt a different ruU Some classes could be exempted, otltors pur t ally exempted and yet otlica con fiscated by i-xcestilve rates. If thus given tho powur to play fa vo.'lieg It fl not a fair piesuniptlo'i that a pcwcrful lobby representing publlu service eoiporntlons, tlir.bor Interesls, po'-er companies, and the like would sw.iim to tinlem in ouffelcni force to e:ii.nnger Jtii,tlco?

Oouut'tB, cities, vcliool dlsirlcts nnd rond dihtricts would ha -a to raise tnxen from whnt property the Btnle might lcnvij to them. Such cmtrnlbui tlon of po-vcr In the state threatens the eociirltv of local b-J itovornineiit. Neither is It i.onceivnblo that a divis ion of propci ty between tho state and local governments should be so made that thoso ,nlng to the mate would pay tho same rate ns thoso paying to locnl governments. Government ownership of public service utilities Is a proonliUltv. In fact some of our cities lov own their water, Ugh, nnd power plutiU wli'ch the state could not tax. Furthermore we re-iM .- tii.- cost of only whui we pay for Ui'.eeilv. We would not be consci ous of a tax, however burdensome, when thai tax was laid upon corpora tions or somebody should throw tho load d-:k upon us, as tnoy suroiy would through manipulation of rates.

Legislative Salary BUI An amendment of Section 29 of Article IV of the constitution of Ore gon, providing compensation for members of the legislative assembly at five dollars per day for each actual working day, and ten cent per mile in going to and returning from the seat of government by the most usual traveled route. Per diem not to exceed three hundred dollars for nny regular, nor one hundred and twenty-five dollars for any extra, session. The speaker of the house and president of the senate to receive five dollars per day additional. SS48.490.30 Of the total amount of delinquent taxes. $30,367.00 la duo from land In dispute between the federal govern ment and the .Oregon L . California Hallway company, so that tbe total amount of collectable taxes not paid Is less than $30,000. Sheriff Mass said Wednesday that he would collect II per cent of de linquent taxes paid In September, 12 per cent In October, 13 per cent In November and so on. This is In ac cordance with the recommendation of tho state tnx commission. GUARDIAN APPOINTED Alice Carpenter Roth was appointed gunrlan of the estate of Merrill Ray mond and Charles Wayne Roth by County Judge Anderson. Property val ued at $1000 Is Involved. I I Affirmative Argument. The state constitution nt present provides for a biennial session of forty days with a per diem for senators and representatives of $3. The chances embodied in this amendment proposed by the Inst legislature arti for a bien nial sossion of sixty actual working days at $5 a day. Prior to the last session of the stnte legislature It has been customary to limit the session to forty calendar days, which In no ense exceeded thirty actual working days. But that session, by resolution, worked forty days because of the overwhelming amount of legls- Intlon proposed and the tlmo was then nil too short In which properly to con sider the questions pending. Hence this amendment was adopted t id sub mitted to the voters of the state for their ratification that succor linn as semblies might have sufficient time to propose, study, and intelligently enact the many leglslat've problems affect ing our rapidly growl nt? common wealth. The other change contained In the proposed amendment Is an Increase In the compensation stipulated for the sossion. Since the constitution was originally adopted the expense of liv ing has Increased more hnn two fold, so the added remuneration is roalry nominal In comparison with fifty years ago. In former .session, the sum of 120.00 was paid legislators for thirty days or less of actual service. This amendment contemplates sixty days of actual service for $300.00, or an actual increase In pay of one dollar per day. There are but two states In tho union which pay their legislators so small a sum as Oregon pays at present. Negative Argument This Is an application for a raise. Men now receiving $4 a day believe that they are earning $5 because other states are receiving that amount. It Is needless to say that although this bill would not make a material in crease In the state's expenses, it will in its own way holp to raise taxes In the state. The connection botusen raised governmental expenses and higher taxes Is plain and self evident. Members of tbe legislature do not spend months In a campaign and still more monthB at oaiem merely for the salary they receive. Despite the Idea, popular with some, that there Is graft and "side money to be made, the rea' reason why 90 per cent of the mem bers of the legislature spend their time and their money in fighting for the position Is the honor of attending the state law making body. There is a prestige to be gained by attending the state legislature. The salary Is merely an Incidental and It not neces sary to good law n'aklng. Other men go to the legislature that they foster some definite mca3iire and to them, as well, salary Is secondary. 13y raising the wages of our law makers, the qual ity of the laws will not be bettered, the standing of the men who go to Sa lem will not be ralced, and the legisla ture will not be put on a higher plane. Backers of this bill argue that the sessions of tbe eg-slature at the pres ent time are not long enough to give proper consideration for the bills which are. brought up.- A bill to In crease the length of the session would be reasonable, but an Increase In the per diem would not be necessary.
