' ' Portland, Fb. :i To ths 8UU Press
Ajiwrin rsaucsts for a concJss
atatsiseat. ths Oregon Ts Reform as
sociation submit this analysis of ths
tax xamptlnn amendment. Its general
; aim ! to release industry and Improvs
' masts from the rrpresslvs pressure of
taiatlon.
first Exempts dwellings. Every new
horns strengthens our state. The pres-
ant law ancourages gambling In home-
Sites until a good site costs as much as
a comfortable dwelling. This demand
that the saving" of years be given up
tor the mere chance to build neoeasl
; tates postponement and congests popu
lation. ... .
Second Real estate agents will find
plenty to do bringing together the 'land
' poor" man who finds withholding from
dm unprofitable, with the homeseeker
who can and will gladly pay the tax
when the speculative value has thus
been nqueexed from the purchase price,
. and the house he builds and everything
.' io It will be exempt.
Third Exempts farm production and
improvements. The farmer, insisting
. en taxing everything, always psys taxes
" on everything of his own, while the
bulk of the wealth drained from farms
to cities eludes the assessor, Farm be-
longlnga are 'not of the nature to be
eonceaJed.1 Constituting less than 25
per cent of the population, farmers
fiave been paying more than 10 per cent
: ef tbe state taxes, ana me supreme
. eonrt has now abolished the customary
3(K) exemption. Lst farmers compare
the assessment of vacant land along
side of them with that of their Im
proved farms which make that vacant
land valuable. Compare taxes paid per
acre by land grants with that of (m
r re red farms. But. while dwellings and
farm improvements sre subject to taxes,
farmers will pay, and railroads and city i
franchises will not. The only way for
fanners to have anything exempt Is to
exempt it open and above board by law.
ruurin Aianuiac(uring exempt. Man
ufacturers everywhere agree that manu
facturing will be stimulated, thus cre
ating a (tome market ' for Oregon farm
era not In Massachusetts, but In Ore

Fifth Worklngmen's tools exempt
Increased competition for workers In
factory, farm and building trades will
reverse the present order where the
only competition Is that of workers
against esch other for Jobs.

general. Oregon's enterprising mer
chants will never object to so greatly
stimulate production by shifting the
tax upon public made values of fran
ehlses snd vacant lands.

prevent their attending the mid-winter
dance of the townfolk.
Dr. Ketler In chapel remarked that
there would be Just two representatives
of the college present at the ball he,
who never learned to dance, and Pro
fessor Hay, who did not care to learn It.
Professor Ketler stationed himself at
the entrance to the ballroom. Men and

college president but not a atudent en

rance. lie aid not desert nts post and
at midnight a lunch was sent him.
While the proresaar was guarding the

After satisfying lilmsell that none of

RICH ORES FOUND LT
PANAMA CANAL STRIP
Consulting Pennsylvania Geologist's
'Analyses Indicate Big Discovery.
Harrlsburg, Feb. 21. Ores containing
gold, sliver and copper have been found
In the celebrated Culebra cut of the Pan
ama canal. This has been ascertained
by chemical investigation at the labor
atory of Colonel H. C. Demmlng, con
sulting state geologist, in this city.
Three lots of the ore were sent here
for determination, and in every one of
them the three metals were found, one
of the samples being considerably richer
In the precious metals than the others.
Larger quantities are to be shipped to
ascertain what the profits will be when
ores are properly worked up in bulk.
Geologists who are familiar with the
Panama Isthmus have for years looked
upon the Culebra mountain as a part
of the backbone of the rich mineral
belt of North and South America.

Renewed Activity.
Movement,, In Peninsula Property Seems
to Warrant Oreat Predictions.
The picture of greater Portland In
prospectus on another page is the fond
hope of W. M. KiUingsworth. While to
many this will probably be an exag
geration, yet it is the firm belief of the
pioneer of the peninsula that It will be
come literally true at no great distant
day. Mr. Kllllngeworth's great faith
in Portland, and especially that the
peninsula will become the New York
of the Pacific coast, is becoming firmer
and firmer as the extensive railroad
systems and the Swift packing plant
and other prospective enterprises appear
on th horison'and become bigger and
bigger as the months .go by. Judgin
bv th enhancing values of
property it would appear that there is
justification for great predictions for
tbs stria of land between the rivers.
It is said that the owner of over 200
acres of land north of the Junction of
the railroads, who. had the property on
ths market a few months am At tf naa
an acre, recently doubled his figures
and' finally withdrew it from ths mar
ket last Friday on account of th sharp
activity la peninsula rai statw --.- j
