Itford Sill, England, Oct.- 21. (U.. P.) The world's record for gliding, hither) held by German airmen, was smashed' here this afternoon when M. Maneyrolle, a Frenchman, remained aloft in a motorlesa Peyrret mono plane for three hours and 22 minutes. Maneyrolle won the Daily Mail's 1000 pound prise by his record breaking flight, during which he soared, hovered, glided and returned on rising currents to higher levels than the starting point, rfutdolng in every way the suc cesses achieved by Oerman students in the Rhone, valley. The success of the Frenchman bears out the contention of allied airmen that the apparent tremendous supe riority of German gliders was due merely5 to satisfactory surroundings for such tests.

'The only income from the reserves is the rentals from stock men for grazing, of; which (5 per cent goes into the federal treasury. I hold that, sine no tax is derived, from this vast body of timber, all the" rentals from grazing privileges in .the' forest reserves should go Into the treasury of Oregon to compensate for the r vast body of taxable property held by the federal government but of taxation.' As governor I. would use the prestige' of the office in a movement with other governors and delegations in congress to , bring this iahonU This . change would produce about $350,090 a ; year new revenue, thereby lessening to that amount the burden on, property now taxed-' .- - , i ' :''!''

While one half of the property " of Oregpn' is exempt from taxation, much of the other half is paying little or no tax because it is - invested . -in shares of stock, bonds and property hidden away, from the assessor, This leaves but a part of tho taxable prop erty to bear the "entire cost of gov ernment, i This -property which bears the terrific burden consists of farms, cattle, .horses, city buildings ' and homes..,, ... . . .. ,, ..
