cutlon of tho laws wo have, will not
have boen strengthened under tho so-
called magic singlo tax. or, possibly
, any other system.
I I think, however, some changes
may bo made that would mnko our
1 system of taxation more easily en
forced. One Improvement might bo
made by divorcing state from county
In levying taxes. As an Illustration,
allow tho state to tax public servtco
corporations for their franchises,
rights of way nnd operating equip
ment. Land and personal proporty
not used In tho operating; dopartmont
mny be assessed by the- counties In
which It Is located. Inhrltanco tax.
Income tax. corporation tax nnd other
taxes of liko nature mar bo handled
'by the state, allowing tho counties
to oporato under laws acting uni
formly throughout the state, to as
sess land nnd personal proporty In
their respective countfcw under class
ification The question of taxation, however,
ts one that has taxed tho tnx-thtnk-ing
mind of today to Its uttermost.
It Is extromejy hard to get a system
of taxation that wonld work out to'
tho satisfaction of atr, as paying tax
es Is vory much like paying for tho
dead horao it bo nppoars at leaBt
to tho groat majority of those who
havo tho bills to pay.
I note with much Interest that your
county employs tho services of a tim
ber crulsor to ptaco a propor valua
tion upon the various holdings of In
dividuals and corporations through
out your county. That Is a movo In
tho right direction. It is cBscntlnlly
right that such should bo done In or
der to carry out the provisions of
tho prcsont system. If tho peoplo
In tho various countled throughout
the stnto of Oregon would pay as
much nttontlon to tho enforcement
of the rules of taxation we now havo
In forco as tho peoplo of your coun
ty apparently are attempting to do,
thoro would bo less complaint.
True, wo should not fall In this
grcnt forward and progressive period
to kcop paco with the progress In
matters of taxation. Wo should
howovcr bo oxtroraoly carefiil that
o do'not in oitr haste mnko tho mnt
tor worse.
You romnrk that thoro Is n crying
need for tho reconstruction of our
tax systom. As Indicated nbovo, 1
should say, a greater crying nood
of strict nnd posttlvo oxccutlon of tho
nystom wo have with some adjust
ments nnd additions thoroto. Wo
nro prono to strlko nt those who nro
on tho top Heats nnd flcem to hnvo
tho best of tho flltuntlon. This Is
qulto natural, yet not consistent with
logical reasoning, which should over
bo our guide In framing laws. The
statesman of tndny has n greater tank

"Tho sn mo arguments used In do

Hlnved to .keep th. peasant of Eur

With ono exception this under

Tho tunnel pierces tho solid rock

To transform this vnlloy to a rural

Iloyond tho tunnol, In tho shadow
of tho grnnlto poaks, a great resor
volr Is being built. A retaining dam
of rock, cement and steel Is bolng
built bo deep that a six story build
ing might be hidden behind It. Fed
by melting snows tho waters will rlso
bohtud this structuro, covering 8,200
acres with 278,000 ucre-foot of wat
or. Tho valley to bo Irrigated Is es
pecially Interesting becuuso It Is tho
scono of tho earliest Irrigation by
AnglO'Saxons In tho west. Sottled
by Drlgham Young and his followers
In 1847, nftor their march through
moro than n thousand miles of un
known territory peopled with sav
ages. It Is tho oldest example of com
munity farming by an Englfsh-Bpoak-Ing
peoplo In tho west. For protect
ion ugulnst tho Indians, tho farmers
lived In llttlo towns throughout tho
vnlloy, their houses built close to
gether nnd facing a common street
or squnro, thus practically forming
forts. Some of these old community
houses nro still standing. The orig
inal farms wero for tho most part
not more than 40 or CO acres In size,
which may account to somo extent for
tho enrly success or agriculture un
der extremely difficult conditions.
When tho stnrago and distribution
system Is finished nnd nn ample wat
er supply assured for all tlmo, tho
valley will support moro than a
thousand farm homes. Salt Lako
City and tho nearby mining camps
will furnish a homo market for many
of tho products, and threo railroad
lines which traverse tho Irritable
area, will furnish unusual transpor
tation facilities to tho outside world.
