LAND VALUES
Suggestion by Judge Lovett
that prudence in fixing
values is advisable.
A suggestion by* Judge Lovett
challenges attention. He says some
of the large bodies of privately owned
land are held- at prices that are too
high. Others have made the same
suggestion. They insist that the
state is going to be harmed by an
epidemic of speculation and speculative
prices. Such a spirit is in the air all
over the country, and it is not im-
probable that Oregon has caught the
contagion.
There is one fact that must be
borne in mind. Land is worth for
production an amount per acre on
which it will yield a fair and fixed
return. Washington county farms are
worth $100 to $200 per acre because,
with intelligent dairying, they will
yield a return on such a valuation.
The apple lands of Hood River and
the Rogue river districts are very
valuable, because intelligent orchard­
ing has demonstrated that they return
a handsome revenue on a heavy
valuation. Some of the alfalfa bot­
toms in eastern Oregon districts are
worth $100 to $159 per acre, because
each year they turn off alfalfa crops
that give them such a value.
But, it is just to the local resident
and to the homeseeker to be reminded
that all Oregon lands are not Hoed
River or Rogue river apple lands, or
Washington county dairy lands or
eastern Oregon alfalfa meadows. Nor
can ali lands be given a valuation on a
basis of apples, alfalfa and dairying.
Nor is it wise to attempt to fix values
in one district by the values in another.
Indeed, it is harmful to the state to
sell as apple lands to the unsuspecting
that which is not apple lands, or to
sell any old land as alfalfa or dairy
lands. Some prudence in these matters
is desirable, for a day will come when
an economic convulsion will reduce
everything to its level and jar all the
water out of speculative land values.

county certificates as a result of the
examinations held at Jacksonville last
