ADJUSTMENT
OF TAXES IS
LEAGUE PLEA
(Continued form Page One)
from the land; the other, proposed
by Mr. Clark, and based on nis ,
investigations in La Grande for the i
land value committee of the league. I
This report will be presented to the
meeting during the coming week and
then made public. In brief, It sug-
gests an Increase In the valuations
in tho business district of La Grande
of about two million dollars with a ,
resulting decrease in tne race on j
residence oronerty In the city and !
on other real property In the county.
fi,n .Hu unlunt.lnriR have not been I
Tt riiv valuations have not been
revised for many years during which
values have increased materially ow
ing to the growth of the city while
country values have also remained
stationary on the tax rolls though
decreasing steadily on account of de
creasing prices for agricultural prod
ucts, it Is said. , . .. r'
It was stated that La Grande, hold
ing about one-half the value of the
county, pays only one-fourth of tho
taxes. The results of the discussion
were embodied In the following mo
tions which carried unanimously:
"That the state tax commission be
requested to cooperate with a com
mittee of the tax league at once to
make a study of city and country
valuations which would rosur. In
more equitable assessment this year."
The committee named consists of
Messrs. Clark, Weatherspoon and Ep-
U't is the sense of this meeting
that justice demands that farm land
vaules in the county be reduced one
third for tax purposes, to correspond
with tho lowered value of farm prod
ucts.
Court Action Threatened
"That, unless a more uniform
valuation is assessment of all the
properties of the county be estab
lished for the year 1031 records and
base, the league will tako the mat
ter into the courts lor Detter adjust
ment, 'o
"That it is the conclusion of this
meeting that merchandise of nearly
all kinds is not proportionately as
sessed and we recommend that the
state tax commission look Into this
matter.
That a committee of throe be ap
pointed to investigate the county
budget with a view to reduction next
year and to see if salary reductions
oould be made." This committee Is
Messrs. Case. Ruckman and Stock
land. "That a committee, of throe bo ap
pointed to inquire Into school dis
trict expenditures and to seek a solu
tion of the hleh school tax In some
form of reorganization possibly the
county unit of administration for
districts except of the first class.
Runerlntendent Savre was called In
and questioned. The committee is
Messrs. Woodell, Btackland and Bailie.
.i
"That the league fix no dues but
ask members to make small contribu
tions to pay for postage and other
expenses." Members present made
donations to carry items essential at
once.
After presentation of the method
of assessing lumber stocks of the
state and equalization, the follow
ing motion carried:
"That the righta and privileges
given the lumber industry In periods
of depression should also be extended
to the farmer and that the Btate tax
commission be requested to give the
matter immediate attention, and that
the tax leagues or tne sia oe re
il cWerate to the end that '
?,"6,!tel CS? on faC land,
state wide reduction on farm land
values be made."

and public spirit In invoking the
referendum on the legislative appro
priation for higher education and
that It was the sense of the meet
ing that the welfare of the state de
manded such reduction.
It was the feeling of the meeting
that the most oppressive measure
under which farmers of the county
suffer is the unfair ratio fixed for
the county by the state tax com-
nlclnn thu Mlinlv hnotnir Wt twn
points in the past year, the ratio be-.
ins fixed at 67 Der cent whereas!
the farm lands are actually assessed
at cosh value or above, as sustained
by results of Investigations made
by the league.
The representative of the commis
sion will be In La Grande this week
and the league will again present
its case for reduction In farm values
and take some action at a mass moot
ing If relief Is not granted.
