LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE
Editor of the News-Review: The
Portland fair or 1925 will be no
doubt a business builder and money
maker for stores, hotels, end the en
tire city of Portland. It may make
business good for some lines of busi
ness and some communities In Ore
gon. Hut the plan of taxing the
whole state Is an Innovation In Am
erican experience. If the classes
which receive the benefit paid tbe
state tax this would be a fair method.
Hut in this so? Outside of the
city of Portland two million dollars
must be raised. Of this amount farms
and furm owners must be made to
pay almut $1,200,000 dollars. To put
It more concretely, Douglas county
farms and farm owners must prob
ably pay $60,000, and the whole
county In the neighborhood of $100,
000. Indirectly, this advertising Invest
ment might be a good one. If tax
conditions were not bo acute. Hut
taxes have reached the stage where
they havo become confiscatory. This
Is beyond dispute In many Instances
of Orexou's general property tax.
First, consider tlmberland. Some
of Douglas county tlmberlands a id of
other southern Oregon counties 1
tnxed so heavily that there Is vo
value In the- property. I know an
automobile dealer who Is for the fair
but nevertheless has a timber claim
In which lie has Invested $1600,
largely tax money. Tie cannot find a
1uyer for $.100. Wy, I have a claim
assessed at $2000, the board of
eiiuiillijon claims, and I can't find
a person who will accept a deed. Even
tbe big timber owners are In bad
slrnlts, and trying to unload thcli
holdings.
Whllo timber land hns been confis
cated In many Instnnces, almost the
rule, farm machinery Is approaching
the same fate. Kor example, a neigh
bor owns a tract of land. Ills taxes
one year were $S."i. Ills land then
had a ront value of $1.10 at the very
least.
He spent $1000 on Improvements
In the form of buildings and fences,
Plowed some of the land; and he
finds that bo can rent his property
with all this Improvement for $2.r.0.

And his taxes this coming spring will
be not less than $110.
Another farm owner rented his
plaoo on shares, and during this
Inst year he did not receive enough
for his share to pay his taxes In
March. The politicians of the state
and Douglas county. Including the
governor, and the business men and
interests of rortland want the farm
ers either to work without wages
or without Interest on their Invest
ments. In Judging farm problems It must
be remembered that there Is no
passing of a tax on. In operating
farm enterprises. The Income from
the farming property depends dis
tinctly on the world's markets, and
tbe high taxes placed on these farm
enterprises are only reacting to the
Injury of the state of Oregon, as
well as Its Individuals.
Hundreds of shrewd Oregonlans
are unloading both city and country
property Just as fast as they can.
Their means are going Into tax ex
empt Becurllies. ' .iara assert that
during the last four years more bonds
have been bought by residents of the
tate of Oregon than In any previous
in-year period.
The Portland fair needs support:
hut It does not need the support of
he general property tax. Four oth
er methods are oen for the legisla
ture to decide upon. Briefly they
are:
First, a poll tax universal, but
hard lo collect.
Second. Income tax field usurped
by federal government.
Third, sales or consumption tax.
tax on some specific article or arti
cles, as the gasoline tax. Easiest tax
of nil to be levied.
Fourth, a personal property tax.
segregation of personal property in
to class by Itself, nnd light tax placed
on it. nequlres a constitutional
amendment. Txng process: needed
reform: but not practical for this
case.
In conclusion, let me suggest that
the Portland fair may bring large
investments for Portland nnd some
towns In the state, hut the farmers
and farm owners who pav half the
state's taxes will not receive the In
vestments. Any careful observer ran
find ample examples of eastern peo
ple who havo liked properties. In
vestigated, and left the conntrv be
cause of tax conditions. For farm'
ers nnd farm owners the Portland
fair tax Is a Prnss Tax only.

Cause of Disturbance.
ARE NO. CASUALTIES
. Pedestrians In the vicinity of the
S. P. depot on Cass street, were at
tracted by the large crowds that col
lected before the shop windows of
Devaney & Burnett. Upon Investi
gation, it was found that the curious
wero attracted by the new Bosch
Battery Ignition System, which this
enterprising firm had on display In
their windows.
Devaney & Burnett, the local dis
tributors of this fine product, are to
be commended upon having such a
wonderful Improvement over the old
stylo ignition system which is fur
nished as regular equipment on
Ford cars, for It dispenses with the
tout coils and vibrators, the coll box.
that "mystic maze" of wiring, and
above all the old Ford timer which
Is directly responsible for the ma
il rlty of Ford ignition trouble.
The Bosch Battery System Is
equipped with the Bosch Compensat
Ing Governor. This Is not a spark
control, that merely advances the
spark at high speed and retards It
it low, hut an Ingenious regulator
which keeps the hot sparks timed
so that the Ford engine always oper
ates under the best possible condi
tions. The local dealers of this fine igni
tion system are so enthusiastic over
the results, that they are willing to
nstall an outfit on a Ford car for a
30 day free trial, and If the owner
Is not entirely satisfied with the
idded pep and power which this sys
tem gives his engine, they will very
gladly refund his money. The Bosch
Compensating Battery Ignition Sys
tem tor Fords Is sold absolutely
complete, ready to Install at $2fi 00
