'I'he llofe - in - One Mhoulil kiow ron.shlf rubly. cliili desire for improvement, for continued progress.' The prob lem is obvious. i Special taxes seem out of the question as a means to additional! revenue. The tobacco tax and the tithing bill, both striking at certain groups, were defeated at the elec tion. Similar lax ideas would not solve the present difficulty iecausc they woulu undoubtedly be referred to the people for final decision. Such delay would be a hindrance. Immediate fevenue is the necessary thing. It returns to a matter of I increased levy or adjusted assessed valuation so that more wealth will appear on the tax books and more taxes made available accordingly. We believe a new tax law, dealing primarily with the question of equitable assessment of prop el ty valuation, can help the present situation greatly. It's a big job for the next legislature, particularly since that bodv has so many Portland members whose home town would first come under fire. Kut it's a job that has to be filled be fore anything else of a constructive nature can be given attention. High Aspirations THAVKL II Y MOTOIt KI Al.K I .?"
