Deputy Pitcher Stops
Gasoline Thieves

When law violators want to get
through Cottage Grove they should
use an airplane. This city is in
a pocket on the Pacific highway
and has two deputy sheriffs that
have reputations as go-getters, as
was demonstrated today when
Deputy
Sheriff Green
Pitcher
shoved a shotgun into the face of
two occupants of a car from the
south who had purchased some sup­
plies at a service station at Rose­
burg and had left hurriedly without
tho formality of making payment
therefor.
The men had pulled the stunt
that has been worked many times.
One man in the car kept the en­
gine running and whilo the person
waiting on them was sent into the
station upon some pretext the sec
ond man jumped into tho car and
the first put the car into motion.
Tho arrest was made on Ninth
street a block from tho point at
which ears have to slow down to
make a sharp turn. A car got
away from Pitcher a short time
ago when he had only his revolver,
but he was not to bo outwitted
this time.
Ho had his shotgun
filled with buckshot and was pre­
pared to make business fer tire
dealers.
The men said they live in Port-
land but did not wish to give
their names and wore locked in
jail pending the arrival of a depu­
ty from the Dougins county sher
iff’s office.
The front license
plate had ben removed after the
car left Roseburg, but ns it was

PROPERTY NOT TAXED
ENOUGH, UPTON
BELIEVES
Valuations Should Be Raised
To Higher Figure Says
State Senator.
Advance Recommended as Way
To Meet Heavy Demands
Of Oregon Schools.
Financial problems confronting
state educational institutions could
bo solved by raising valuations of
taxable property, Jay H. Upton,
state senator, believes, Mr. Upton,
in an interview last week in Eugene,
stated that the statewide custom
of assesssing property far below its
value was the reason finances were
not obtained each year sufficient
to take care of expenses and
growth of tho Oregon schools.
Mr. Upton stated that assessed
valuations have not increased in
proportion to tho needs of the
state schools. When the millage tax,
setting aside for educational pur­
poses a certain portion of the total
money received, was passed some 12
years ago, it was believed valua­
tions would increase sufficiently
fast to take care of the demands
of the schools, he pointed out.
Since that time the schools have
increased three or four times in
size, but tax figures have not kept
pace. Actual wealth of the state
of Oregon has grown many millions
of dollars, ho stated, citing as an
example the huge building program
being carried on in Eugene. De­
spite this the figures on the tax
•oils look about tho same. A state
law requires assessment of all prop­
erty at full value, he said, but this
law has never been adhered to.
Practice in most counties is to list
property far below its actual worth.
Statewide correction of this prac­
tice of underwriting property was
recommended as a solution of the
problem. Pressure brought to bear
from the capitol and publicity of
tho needs of the schools would
achiovo the results desired, ho be­
lieved.
Mr. Upton voiced some decided
opinions concerning tho needs of
tho University of Oregon and the
Oregon Agricultural college . More
money should be put into faculty
salaries than in buildings at this
time, he stated. Ho also criticized
the action of Governor Piorce in
vetoing the appropriation of $60,-
000 for the Doernbecher school in
Portland.
Mr. Upton was president of tho
state senate in 1923 and is a
graduate of the University of Ore
gon law school. His homo is in
Bond.
