INEQUALITIES IN OUR TAX SYSTEM.

If you are interested in the state and county tax structure,
and most of us should be, tax paying time has just passed, you
may be surprised to know the amount of land in the state ami
more particularly in Lane county that Ls untaxed. Judge Clin­
ton Hurd recently presented the publisher with a map showing
the amount of land untaxed in the state and counties. A total of
64.9 percent of the land in Lane county Ls untaxed, principal­
ly because of the forest lands. Klamath county has an even high­
er percentage. Then* the federal and state owned lands amounts
to 83.6 percent. The percentage o f lands by counties over the
state runs well past the fifty percent mark from a low of
about twelve percent to a high of 83.6 percent.
In addition to this there are numerous pieces of improved
property over the state that bears no taxes, including an inves-
ment of several millions of dollars in the Eugene municipal
light and power plant. And there are instances where buildings,
the property of the state or religious or fraternal orders, which J Thls picture of a (IganU c F a n l-B u n ja n -s f-a -B rlU U i-s o ld irr. striding

owners, workers and the public alike. The danger in public
regulation of industry appears when it goes to extreme bounds.
M. W. Clement, president of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
touched on this during the course of a long ‘address. He s a id :
“ The tendency of regulatory bodies has always been to slide
away from th it which they were created to accomplish and to
invade the domain of management, a field for which by reason
of lack of knowledge and experience they are unfitted. , . .
“ Every phase of national activity is gradually becoming
subject to regulation.
“ Law s are written, the motive for which Ls controlled, or at
least very much influenced, by whatever particular phase of
national thought happens to be in the political ascendancy at
the time. Many o f them are hastily pn-pared; practically ail

No Ford has ever carried
EXTRA VALUE
quite so far!
We’d like you to see nnd drive
the finest Ford we’ve ever built.
You’ll find its big bodies longer
inside, greater in total seating
width, nnd larger in windshield,
than anything else in the Ford
price field right now.
You’ll find a great new Ford
ride, too. A soft and quiet new
ride that has surprised a lot of
people and may surprise you.
And with its room and ride and
view, you get Ford extra power
with extra thrift, the biggest hy­
draulic brakes near its price, and
a lot of fine-car mechanical “fea­
tures” found only in a Ford at
low price.
If you are choosing a new car
thisyear,you’ll do well not tomiss
this Ford. And not just because
we say so, but because the fact a do!

requires just as much labor to
apply as good paint, but good
