To tbeSta ePres Answering; requests fur a concise state ment, the Oregon ThX Reform assoc ation submits this analysis of the tax exemp tion amendment. Its general aim is to release industry and improvements from the repressive pressure of taxation. First Exempts dwellings. Every new home strengthens our state. The present low encourages gambling in homesites until a good site costs as much as a comfortable dwelling. This demand that the savings of years be given up for the mere chance to build necessita es postponement and congests population. Second Real estate agents will find plenty to do bringing together t tie "land poor" man who finds withholding fiom use unprofitable, with the homeseeker who an and will gladly pay the tax when the speculative value has thus been squeezed from tho purchase price and the house he builds and everything in it will be exempt. Third Exempts farm production and improvements. The farmer, insisting on taxing everything, always pays taxes on everything of his own, white the bulk of the wealth drained from farms to cit es eludes the assessor. Faun, belong ings are not of the nature to be concealed. Constituting less than 25 per cent of the population, tanners have been paying more than 50 per cent of the state taxes, and the supreme court has now abol ished the customary $300 exemption. Let farmers compare the assessment of vacant land alongside of them with that of their improved farms which make that vncant land valuable. Compare taxes paid per acre bvland grants with that of improved farms. Put, whU dwelling and farm improvement ar subject to tx'8, farmers will pay, a- d railroe ds and city franchises wfil not. The only way tor farmers t have any ihing exempt is to exempt it open and above board by law. Fourth Manufacturing exempt. Man ufacturers everywhere agree that manu facturing will be stimulated, thus Creat ing a "home market" for Oregon farm ers not in Massachusetts, but in Ore gon. Fifth Workingmen's tools exempt. Increased competition for workers in factory, farm and building trades will reverse the present order where theonly competition is that of workers against each other for jobs. Sixth Benefits merchant. Vacant lots and laud grants buy no dry -goods and groceries. With raw material worked up at home, freights would be saved; wo kers would bave more wages to spend and there woold be more'wo'rk- THE FIKST SHIPMENT OF Mens Neckwear and Shirts For Spring Have Arrived at DEPARPTHENT STORE MARQDARDSEN'S Tastey dressers will concede at first glance the advantage in selecting from so large an assortment as afforded by this ONE STORE Neat Dressy Shoes i i Negligee Shirts for Summer Wear Are more favorable than ever, and Marquards'en has paid especial attention to this line, having embodied a greater variety of patterns and prices than ever and securing a great nnmber of Coat, combination ot golf and negligee style.

It will give our bankers a chance to loan our mil lions of deposits on legitimate enterprise instead of on speculative schemes die counting the future in short, give mon ey to industries and not to speculation.
