Toledo, Oregon, July 10, 1916.
To the Editor of The Leader:
I am enclosing to you a copy of an
opinion of the State Tax Commission,
which ulso embodies the opinion of
the aBBoacora of the state of Oregon,
on the ;uc3t!on of thubor crulso by
counties. I have, always stood for this,
and I now think this Is the only fair
thd equitable way,'
The only question and the only ob
jection I have ever raised In this con
nection Is at this time and has been,
on the kind of work, the reliability of
the men doing the work, and the re
sults obtained. I shall now, as I have
always before, oppose any offer or
proposition coming from unreliable cr
Incompetent sources, and I Bhnll sup
port Just us strenuously the first prop
osition that is reuHonablu, coming from
competent and reliable men.
From the u.iy I view this question,
this Is the opportune time to secure
this Information. V'a have heretofore
needed the information that a county
cruise would have supplied for assess
ment pnd taxation purposes. This, j
alone, is auOVior.t to wurrent the cost j
of this Information. We must do this I
work voluntarily and In our own way,
or may be forced to do It through and
Under the state's direction. This Is !
coming In the near future In some I
form, and it Is for us to say.
And again, we are now making all
preparations to go to Congress asking
them to appropriate money to Improve
Our harbor. The reason why Congress
Should do iMs are Just two: one is the
"prbou.ii condition of our bar and the
cost of Improvement,, this the U. S.
engineers will show ns; and the sec
ond Is, "commerce to Justify" this we
Will have to show them. And In or
der to do this, we el the facts and
figures that a cruise of our timber will
give.
Very truly yours,
W. E. Ball,
Assessor of Lincoln County.

Dear Mr. Hall :
Referring to your r-iceut re
quest, f r or., oe'iiion on the advisa
bility of i a .1: tl.e tirr.'.c r or a unty
cruised for purposes of ass:-..in.e::t and
taxcv'icn:
We l .'ve lorrr been convinced that
equ!;ib!.i t'.w.tion or standing timber
undT t';e lavs cf 0.-o"ti, fair alike to
the t.1Mi: vcr nil to the rnuntv nnrt
other t.tl:i,; district, can be secured i
only thi-oucli assessments based on an I
accurat e cruise of such timber; There
are such wide variations between quan-!
Itles. qni'lltics and actual values of tim-!
ber on truf !3 of the same flerenirA in '
the Fame tilftrict that assessments of
timber based on guess-work estimates
or at flat rates per acre are sure to be
grof-sly unequal. I'nder such methods
of asse!;sr:i-nt the owners of more val
uablu timber do not stand their Just
Bhare of the tax burden, while the own
ers of the poorer or less valuable tim
ber ne heiivlly penalized.
So far as wo know every public offic
ial and every other person who has
made ary f.ir Investigation of this
matter, hat: arrived at the Bame con
clusif -i. .U the- lust g'-ntrnl meeting
of the County Assessors of Oregon
with this ( oiiimissiciii, held In Febru
ary, 191C, timber atnessment and tax
ation '.va an Important subject dis
cussed. All agreed that an accurate
timber cruise afforded the only fair
and proper basis for assessment and
taxation of X:r clcss of property. Sev
eral of the counties already have good
timber cruisea which are followed con
(latently in determining values; not
In any one of them would the Asses
aor or any considerable Lumber of the
taxpayers think ot returning to the
former practice of guess-work or fiat
rate per acre assessments.
It Is true that a good and reliable
cruise of the standing timber ot a
county Involve a considerable expend
iture, but It la money wisely spent
Fre quently a cnilse results In mater
ial increase In the total assessed ral
nation, but auch should not necessar
ily be Its purpoce. It is much mors
Important and valuable as a means,
the only means, for fair dealing In tim
ber taxation.
Very truly yours,
STATE TAX COMMISSION,
By Chas. V. Galloway
Commissioner.

TF your business !:ccp3 tv.'o or more horses
busy, there's just one reason why you are
not using an International moior truck:
You IWt Keow Wkl It Xm Do Fcr Yoa!
That's true. If you knew how much actual
cash it saves, you would buy an International
"motor truck because you couH hardly make
a better paying investment If it added only
twenty-five cents a day to your net profits that
would be better than 10 per cent interest on
the price of a Model M.
An International motor truck will save more than
that for any man whose work kecp3 two horses busy.
That is not all it does, by any means, but that should
be enough to interest you. a business man. Write for
cur complete figures on motor truck saving.
