OREGON STATS COLLEGE,
CorvsUls, Jan. 17 Robert Auf
derhlde, sophomore in agricul
ture at Oregon tate college, re
cently pledged Alpha Gamma
Hha, one of the 32 national fra
ternities on the campus. Aufder
fiide is a transfer from Willam

SENATOR W. E. flURKE of
Yamhill county, who sprang
te stage Into the limelight of
the ways and means committee,
is a seasoned politician and a
sound business head according
to his extensive record as re
corded in Chapman's, Oregon
Voter.
Burke is aUo known as a de
termined and careful stifdent In
the matter of taxes and has de
cided - leanings towards the
school of "cut-down" economists.
Those who know Burke's record
recall his consistent opposition
in Yamhill county to the ap
pointment of a county agent and
his views on the state college at
Corvallls which Burke believes
is too expensive for the tax-pay
ing capacity of the landowner.
Burke by no means would de
sire to be classed as a radical or
a citizen unappreciatlVe of high
er education or the necessity for
money, to run a government.
Heavy Land tax Opposed
But as an extensive land hold
er, and a man who knows real
estate values in Oregon. Burke
has long opposed the heavy tax
burden Imposed on land. His
appointment to the ways and
means committee is tantamount
to entrusting the leadership of
the senate's financial program to
conservative, even ultra-conserv-
atire economy.
In Burke's home county of
Yamhill aome pre-election atten
tion was gained by a conference
of editors with the view of sug
gesting ways and means 'to re
duce the expenses of state gov
ernment and at the same time to
secure a readjustment of prop
erty assessed to make Intangi
bles bear a far greater share.
Burke's thinking on the mat
er is expressed In a letter to a
McMinnville editor, written jnst
before the senator left for Sa-
em. In his letter Burke dis
cusses the burden or taxation
now borne by land and declares
real property owners will still be
in a- deplorable situation "un
less we can spend a great deal
less money or collect a great
deal more than 33.375,000 from
the fields covered by the income,
the excise tax and an intangible
tax.".. -
Letter Shows Views
Burke's views. In part, on the
taxation problem, as taken from
his "public letter, follow:
'It seems too bad the people
of Oregon are taxed way beyond
reason. There are two main an
gles to the tax question:
First, of course, it goes with.
out saying, the people of Oregon
cannot pay $110,000,000 in tak
es and fees per annum and pros
per. This situation has come
upon us by i degrees. Our taxes
have kept mounting and mount
ing until they are now an- im
possible burden. The delegation
from Yamhill county, Morton
Tompkins, j Arthur McPhilllps
and - myself, have talked these
matters over and are of one ac
cord in the idea of supporting
such measures as will help re
duce our tax burden.
Farm Ratio too High
The second angle Is the dis
tribution: i i
The farm property Including
the land, buildings, stock and
machinery, is supposed to be
worth about 1590.000,000.. This
property Is assessed at close to
57 per cent of its value. The
taxes for 1930 on the farm prop
erty amount to 911,860,000.
There is a great question wheth
er or not the farmers as a whole,
after paying their upkeep,-' gen
eral expenses and taxes, have
any real profit left.. j .
''Other real property, aside
from farm property, which in
cludes timber lands, city -lots
with improvements, is supposed
to be worth about $890,000,000.
It Is assessed at about 57 per
cent of its value. Its taxes for
1930: amount to $26,000,000.
The Intangible cronertv of
Oregon, such as notes, bonds,
stocks, money at interest, etc..
Is r said to : be w'orth at least
600,000.000, 'which, is a little
more than ! the farm v nroDertT.
This property makes a net profit
or pernaps per cent cm 1 an
average. . Yet, i under the Intan
gible tax law which was passed
by the last legislature and de
clared unconstitutional by our
supreme court, this vast amount
of wealth was only called on to
pay about $1,200,000 for 1930
only about one-tenth of the
amount of taxes the farm prop
erty was called to pay. . i
"Under our present excise tax
law, we will perhaps collect not
over $675,000. This is tax on
corporations and is measured by
the income. It applies not only
to banks and financial Institu
tions but to manufacturing mer
cantile a& business corporation
