the foreign market for farm crops by
ending trane relations.
Overproduction Is Myth
He declared there ia no overproduc
tion in the world at !aricc, ln'caima
there are hunitry people In amne purl a
of the world always to bo feil by
farmera. Hut the tariffa have reduced
. the aiie of the market to the point
where there is overproduction for the
Deeds of the United Btiitcs alono.
"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."
Want Law Agin' It
Ha urged abolishment of the prop
erty tai for state purposes by con
stitutional amendment. At the last
session of the legislature he Introduced
a resolution for this, which was de
feated. The Tillamook County Tax
Conservation lengtio la at present pre
paring to initiate the proposed amend
ment for the general election in No
vember. Mr. Mott waa the originator
of the movement.
He also advocated the lowering of
local Uxea by making the state as
sume the burden of local school fi
nancing, which b said waa primarily
the state's Job.
In placo of the real property tax
there . would be intangibles, income,
idee and aalea taiea which aro baaed
on profita and income.
lie gave aa an example of the as
serted unfsir tax system the case of
Vamliill farmer who bad a farm val
ued at 10,000 and atocka anil other
Investments worth the en me amount.
On the Intangibles) from which he was
making a five per cent income he
paid only 165 tax, while on the real
property on which he was losing
money, he had to nay $000.
. Mr. Mott urged the fnrtners to take
I more active Interest in politics and
go after appropriations aa much as do
the big industrial interests.
He declsred the state was not get
ting a fair break from the federal
Euvernment and declared that the
lulled Mutes should pay the state
tnxee on guvcrnuient-nwncd property
within the stale, anil if the govern
ment ahould carry on lumbering or
other operations on the land, the pro
fits should be turned over to the state.
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. In
ventories of estates tiled in his office
ahowed this, he said.
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. This would add to the
tax burden of the county anil state.

The government was plainly irritated
