Tax increase more than offset by increase in property valuation. The State Aid to ex-service persons is limited to 3 per cent of taxable valuati6n which will be paid within 28 years with interest. There are approximately 300 ex-service men in Polk county. Oregon ex-service men believe the payment of a cash bonus is an ob ligation of the Federal Government and so have provided that acceptance of cash from the state will bar a man from asking for a Federal cash bonus ¡when finally passed. The American Legion of Oregon is urging the ac ceptance of the loan feature, the cost of which will be repaid to state within a few years when interest on loan starts coming back to the state. The cash bonus is so limited and restricted that nothing but the direst necessity will prompt a man to ask for it.
