EXEMPTION PLEA IS HEARD
George C.
Mason Speaks in Support
Commission and Urges
of Code
Passage
of Measures Drawn
by Xon-Partisan League.
1 A variety of remedies for existing
- taxation ills were prescribed by a trio
J of well-informed tax doctors before the
? ' Oregon Civic League at the Multnomah
f Hotel yesterday.
3 I Charles V. Galloway, a member of
the State Tax Commission, presented
v J arguments supporting the measure.
aooiisning ine unuorm taxation rule
and the measure providing classifica
tion of property for taxation purposes,
both of which have been referred to
the voters at the coming election by
the Legislature.
A. D. Cridge argued in favor of the
$1500 exemption bill, which also is on
the ballot, and George C. Mason, man
ager of the Non-Partisan League, -opposed
the $1500 exemption bill.
Mr. Galloway began his discussion by
a. brief review of the taxation laws
and the taxation history of the coun
try. He pointed out that when the
several states of the Union first were
formed it seemed equitable and Just
to place all property, for taxation pur
poses, on an equal basis. This method,
he declared, now is out -of date.
Experts Said to Aeree.
I ? said, "now agree that the only real
i ' reform in taxation is to classify prop
I . erty. Otherwise, authorities agree, all
. efforts to equalize the distribution of
' the tax burden will defeat thsir own
i I end."
! He then explained that the measure?
i now on the ballot are the products of
j the Oregon Tax Commission and that
& they are submitted to the voters this
j year for the third consecutive time.
J Kfforts of the opponents of the
measures to pronounce them unsound
because the use of the word "reason
i able" would throw the power of fixing
r the tax classifications into the courts
J ; are not based on the record of existing
X conditions, he asserted.
; - " The court records of all those states
i in which the present system of taxa
; I tion is in effect," he continued, "arc
; : full of tax litigation. The term 'rea
J ' Eonable' already has been defined by
i the courts to mean that it is impos
sible to make a distinction between
5 persons or objects of the same class."
: Kitmptlon Declared Constitutional.
"t 5 A. D. Crldge, In speaking for the $1500
) proposal, defended its constitutionality
i by declaring that the pending measure
- has been submitted to scores of the
) i most able lawyers, all of whom have
l ; pronounced it sound. He asserted also
; that it had been indorsed by many of
; the leading organizations of farmers
' and by labor unions.
t He Insisted that the bill aims to re
? . lleve the average home owner of a
., ; part of his taxation. There are 40,000
(' 'y- farm homes and 80.000 other homes in
!? Oregon, he continued, that will benefit
' from this measure. The maximum
" aggregate exemption, he declared will
'- be $90,000,000. and he contrasted this
i figure with' the $100,000,000 in "other
J ; property" and the $100,000,000 of "bank
deposits and securities." upon which,
; he said, the owners are not now paying
taxes.
' ; He argues on the theory that if It is
1 possible for the owners of this "other
. property" and owners of bank deposits
'.t 1 and securities to escape from paying
, taxes, the small but honest home owner
, i should be given the same opportunity
v. v of escape.
' "If you want more homes," he con-
eluded, "take the taxes oft of the
J homes."
League Measure Advocated.
- Mr. Mason spoke first. in support of
. the tax code commission measure, now
: pending " before the voters, and of
which the Nonpartisan League is the
.author, but pointed out that it will be
; impossible to accomplish anything
i i under provisions of this bill unless the
i measures proposed by the State Tax
' Commission also are passed.
. His remarks were ' directed princi
;. 'pally against the proposed $1500 ex
; temption. He pointed out that there are
. lour vacant lots In Portland for every
1 one that is improved.
i "The man with the empty lot doesn't
, need police or fire protection," he said.
iS'IWhy should not the man with the
4 house pay the taxes, for isn't it he who
.gets the benefits?
He charged that the main object of
j the $1500 exemption is to "make it pos
I jsible for somebody to gain an advan
tage over his neighbors.
i J "We can make it right to da that
- .: legally, he said, "but that won't make
it right morally."
' j Following these presentations a mis-
Jcellaneous discussion was indulged in
'"-by various members of the league.
t . J. J. toayer presided.

st tenor, will sing for the first time
in Portland in popular Sunday after

The Multnomah Amateur Athletic
Club has decided to make the annual
mid-Winter entertainment this year
theatrical entertainment. It will be
staged at the Heilig Theater the
nights of December 14 and 15 and will
participated in by many of the
members. The women's annex will
play an important part.
It is planned by President Wilbur,
Superintendent Walker and the mem
bers of the entertainment committee
to make the performance the society
event -of the year and the most elab
orate amateur theatrical ever staged
in Portland. The details are in the
hands of the entertainment committee
composed of A. H. (Bert) Allen, chair
man; Edwin R. Morris, A. Harry
Fischer and Rex Conant. Mr. Allen is
now in the East on his wedding tour,
having been married October 7 to a
Kansas City girl, but is due to arrive
home this week, when active work on
the entertainment will commence.
The entire membership of the club
is getting behind the proposition and
members have already volunteered for
parts, despite the fact that the of
ficial call for talent has not yet been
issued. The first call for performers
probably will be made this week.
Chairman Allen. before his de
parture for the East, announced that
he has engaged William Broad as
professional coach for the members.
Mr. Broad wired yesterday from Van
couver, B. C, that his tour on the Sul
livan & Considine circuit would end
this week and he then will be at the
service of the club.
The club's theatrical show probably
will supplant the usual "Kirmess"

"Where Is the nearest fire-alarm box

This question, asked students in the
Lincoln, Jefferson and Washington
High Schools last week, brought re
sponses from an average of 10 pupils
in each school.
"How many residents in Portland
could answer the same question?"
asks Harry F. Coffin, chairman of the
Public Safety Commission. "How many
know the telephone numbers of the
Fire Department?" That Is another
question that Battalion Chief Stevens
asked that brought few responses. Is
It any wonder the fire loss is high?"

BANKS WARNED OF FAKIR
Burns Agency ' Tells Operations of
Swindler Thought in Xorthwest.
The William J. Burns International
Detective Agency has issued a warning
to bankers and police officials in Ore
gon, Washington and Idaho to be on
the lookout for a swindler who oper
ates under the guise of an investor in
land.
He appears at a bank, pretends to
want to buy a ranch and set up a
mercantile business in the community.
After winning the banker's attention,
he presents a draft on a bank in a
distant city. In due time the draft is
paid, the signature being genuine in
fabric, having been obtained by the
"book trick," but false in intent.
The swindler meets some farmer and
gets him to write his name in what
appears to be an ordinary memorandum
book, but which in reality is a sight

INSURING
GOOD DIGESTION
Importance of Preventing; Food Fer
mentation la Stomach.
Good digestion usually means Rood
health. So long: as the stomach does Its
work properly disease can find no lodg
ment in the human system: the liver,
kidneys and intestines will perform
their work perfectly and remain in per
fect health: but permit anything to In
terfere with the proper digestion of
food, an unending: train of troubles Is
set in motion. About the only thing
that will upfet the stomach and Inter
fere with digestion is an excess of acid,
usually cau.sed by food fermentation.
Food fermentation is due to chemical
action in the food itself. This fermen
tation causes the formation of gas, or
wind, as well as acid, resulting in the
unnatural distention of the stomach
and the burning by the acid of the
delicate lining; of the stomach.
Medicine and tonics cannot relieve
this condition they usually make it
worfe. The fermentation and acid are
to blame and these must be overcome
