INITIATIVE TO BE
USED IN PLAN TO
ADJUST IMPORTS
Two initiative measures, proposing
a graduated Income tax and the.
equalization of the. assessment thru
' a change in the comparative ratios,
.will be submitted to the-voters at the
November election, acocrding to the
plan of the special committee of the
Tax Reduction league which met in
Salem yesterday.
jChria Schuebel, a member of the
committee of seven, attended the ses
sion in Salem, and has been instru
mental in framing the assessment
equalization measure. Although this
measure is not yet drafted in com- j
pletion, it will be- prepared in time to
get on the ballot before this coming
November.
Conference Is Set
The income tax measure is to be
framed in cooperation with, the Ore
gon State grange and is to embrace
a graduated assessment ranging thru
business profits and salaries.
The measure to equalize the assess
ment 'Will con's i st of a series of pro
visions which would assess all pro
pertj' with the exception of farm
lands at 100 per cent of their cash
value. Farm lands are proposed to
be assessed at one-third of their ac
tual value. This ratio is obtained
through a comparison of the relative
incomes, computing business proper
ty at 6 per cent and farm property at
2 per cent.
In the assessment equalization law
is to be included the repeal of the 1.2
mill tax for higher education. By
combining these two provisons, Mr.
.Schuebel points, the revenues of the
higher educational institutions will
in the main be protected, for if the
readjustment of the assessments
takes place, the resultant increase in
the assessed valuation would give the
colleges practically the same income
under the remaining .7 mill tax, as
they have at present under the .7 and
the 1.2 mill levies.
Income Tax Plan
A special committee consisting of
Dr. W. W. Slaughter, Chris Schuebel
and J. D. Brown., has been appointed
to hold a conference with the heads
of the educational institutions this
coming Saturday at which the details
of the millage tax repeal will be
worked out. Mr. Schuebel explains
that in the repeal of the millage pro
vision there is no intention to handi
cap the schools. The inconsequential
saving due to the cutting off of the
millage bill without suitable provi
sion for the colleges incomes would
not justify the disaster that would re
sult from -the hampering of the vital
point in the educational system of the
state, he maintains.

SINGLE PARTY LOOMS ON
LANDSCAPE OF POLITICS
Legislative Jobs Are Only
Ones Where Competition Is
Expected to Make Battle.
With but practically another week
left for the filing of candidates for
the primaries, . the political landscape
in Clackamas county has not exhibit
ed any unusual upheavals and it is
probable that unlesa eleventh hour ap
pearances are made, there will be
very little contest outside of one or
two offices.
George G. Randall of New Era
seeks a seat in the lower house of the
state legislature from Clackamas
county, filing his formal declaration
for the Republican nomination Tues
day, declares for "honesty, strict
economy and a straightforward ad
ministration." "I will work to put all paid state of
ficers back to pre-war salaries and
will RUDDort agriculture and other
nroductive industries in every poss
ible way," his platform reads. "I will
strive to equalize and lower taxes
am opposed to alien ownership of land

American people.
Phil Hammond, at present repre
sentative from this county is to file
his candidacy in a day or so and I.
C. Bridges and M. J. Lee are expected

TVio innreasinc nearness of the
final date for filing has developed no
Democratic candidates and there is
a strong possibility this year that the
Clackamas County ballot will be prac
tically a one party affair at the prim-
ary election. The senatorial race is
otiii rnntinM to wm. oiuue. r . -
