name formula. I a Rood as the day
It wan put down. Perhap Mr. Chap
man does not know- that the officials
of that southern California town have
sent letters here testifying to the
wonderful resisting power of the sur
face laid under this formula. Per
haps Mr. Chapman does not know that
two different delegations of citizens
of Clackamas county made trips to
Victoria. H. C. to see pavements laid j
there under the supervision of the
man who Is now paving superinten-l
dent of the county, using the formula
that he used here. The Victoria pave
ments, miles of them. Urother Chap
man, were laid more than five years
ago, a period long enough, you say,
to wear out this style of surface.
And then aj;ain. Brother Chapman,
perhaps you are not aware of the
fact that the same machinery and
many of the same men laid 11 blocks
of hard surface on Main street, in
Oregon City, a year ago, and that
stretch of pavement, subject to hard
er traffic than any county road, is
actually better now than when first
laid. Unlike the stuff you seem toj
favor, bithttlitic. the surface does not,
become soft under the rays of thej
summer sun; automobiles do not be- j
come stuck in the surface; wag-1
on wheels do not sink in it. 1 lie

surface is not cracked, there are no
ruts and holes and everybody is sat
isfied. Brother Chapman talks like the
Warren Construction company,
In
fact, we are lead to wonder If there
is any connection between the "week
ly magazine of citizenahlp" and the
people who extracted so many hun
dred thousand dollars from Multno
mah county within the last year, es
pecially when we remember the threat
alleged to have been made by the
Warren people that they would "get"
the local county-owned paving plant.
It Is certainly to their interest to "get"
tie county plant and the general plan
of county-laid pavements, if that is
possible, for the idea is spreading.
Other counties in the state are ask
ing about the success of Clackamas
county in hard Biirface work. They
are awakening to the fact that the day

Whl'e the worditiK of Ihe measure
'. romcwhat Indefinite. Hi emu 'Intent
aould undiubtedly mean the mibntitu
lion of a full rental tax on .ill laud
itt lieu of all other taxes.
It would make no difference wheth
er or not such tax r.iUeJ twice a
much money a wa needed, or whetlv
er It produced only one quarter the
necessary fund.
What would be the result of uch
a tax?
Suppose you own 1 0) acre.
I'nder thl measure you would pay
to tho state the full earning capacity
of the land.
Therefore, the land would be worth
not a cent to you. Tho man who rent-
el a piece cf equal value would cam
Just as much from his rented land.
and would have no Investment.
If you should rent your land, the j
full rental would go to the state. j
If the full rental tax was not paid,
the land would become
the property
of the stato and could never again
pass into private hands.
If that Isn't pure, unadulterated sin
pie tax, what Is?
But that Isn't all.
Is It the tendency of renters to
Improve land, or to let It deteriorate?
The latter, of coureiv
So our lands and farm buildings
would gradually deteriorate, would
become less productive, and we would
go backward. Instead of forward.
Under this measure the full earn
ing capacity of the land goes to the
state for tax. Therefore there Is
nothing left with which to take tip i
the mortgage. The mortgagor could!
not pay the mortgage, so the mortga-
gee would have to take tho land, and !
the land would be worthless to him,
for Its earnings would go to the stnte.
Therefore this measure would rob
all those holding mortgages of all tho f
money thus Invested.
Is it any wonder that with such :
freek laws coming up ft every dec-1
tlon people hesitate to put their money
into Oregon lands or to loan money
on Oregou lands'

GEORGE BROWN INTENDS TO
MAKE THREE CUTTINGS OFF
PATCH THIS YEAR.
That the soil of Clackamas county
Is adapted for the growing of Sudan
grass Is being proven by many of the
farmers of the county. Among those
who are giving this forage plant Its
lirst trial Is (ieorgo lirown, of the Ma
ple Lane distrlrt, about two miles
from Oregon City.
Ho brought a sample ot the grass
to Oregon City Thursday. After lift
days' planting the grass has attained
a height of six feet, and well lasseled.
It is the Intention of the grower to
get three cuttings this year, unless un
early frost occurs. Other farmers who
have tried growing this grass are
meeting with !ll;e success.
Sudun gra.SH was Introduced from
Kgypt in lliu!) by the United States de
partment of agriculture, und bus glv-
j en great promise of becoming a ml
liable addition to tho forage grasses
of Clackamas county. It resembles
tho sorghum, and under favorable con
ditions it will grow from seven to
1 nine feet. Last year George Oel.nk,
' whose farm is near Willamette, grew
1 some of this Sudan Ernss that al-
I tallied a height even higher than this,
and exhibited at the Clackamas coun
ty fair.
EXPANDING STATE FUNCTIONS.
Many state Institutions .maintained
by the taxpayers are asicng for elab
orate printing plants, says the Pacific
Coast Manufacturer.
They want them to get out state
publications, to publish magazines
and newspapers.
Some of these state publications
send out regular advertising solicit
ors and do commercial printing.
Is there any more reason for a state
Institution running a printing office
than for maintaining a garage
A state printing office is already
maintained by the taxpayers and why
establish more public prlntshops?
The tendency to expand state func
tions is costing tho 'taxpayers dearly
and Is to the detriment of business.
If carried far enough, there will be
little left for the producer and private
citizen but to dig up taxes.
