"la it any wonder, then, that the
farmers are suffering from taxation?
The banks of the state are assessed but
0 per cent of their original capital stock,
notwithstanding the fijet that their stock
Is actually valued at a much higher
figure. They are. in fact, taxed on the
same basis as machinery and equipment
upon a farm which depreciates in value
each year.
"While the bank resources are capable
of being turned over repeatedly during
the year, the capital of the farm is a
fixed irryestment and less than 10 per
cent of it Is turned each year."
Mansfield cannot see a great future
for the sgricultural industry of the state
until a better system of financing and
taxation can be worked out.'

"There is no reason, for two organisa

"Work of checking the traffic in nar

The Portland association was formed
four weeks ago at the request of the
mayor. Two meetings were held and
the governor was then asked to call a
state-wide meeting. This was done
Wednesday and the Oregon association j
came into being. Mayor Baker was
elected head of the state organisation by
unanimous accord.

must consider every feature offering
economy in operation and construction
these daya The introduction of gasoline
propelled rail cars seems to be about the
best thing ever offered along that line.
BUT LITTLE GRADING
"Construction of the road is estimated
at about $3000 a mile. It requires no
grading of any consequence. Any timber
available is suitable for ties and very
light rails are practical: in fact, the
long-used wood rails of the sawmill
roads would be very desirable on branch
