"If 1 were a Mussolini who had absolute power to regulate conditions 1 wouio do tnree tilings to restore prosperity," he said. "I would have the policy of iaolatlon stopped. 1 would cnncel nil Kuropean war debta as our contribution to world prosperity. I would demand a rational tariff schedule." CommiSKloner Mott declared Ore gon' taxation system was obaulote. "The trouble with the present sys tem is that we are trying to rnise the bulk of our tax from people, who haven't the money to pay It, while thoae who can pay are left alone."

Property Owners Stuck Mr. Iiilaril showed that, real prop erty over the county was psylng 02 per cent of the taxes, while the actual wealth of the county is not In real estate but In IntangiMe holdings.

Ha said that 1-ane county might look to a discontinuance of the Ore gon and California land grant funds, aa the federal government has nearly twill aa much on the land as it would bring If sold.
