Mr. Galloway explained tin devel

county.
fn Lane county. ha aaid. the. work
go far has included the. reappraisal of
all sawmill. Lane, county with "8 has
mors properties of this type than
any other county. Likewise, business
properties and industrial machinery
and inventories hava been revalued.
In each caa some values have been
moved up and some down. Tn the ag
gregate increases hava about offset
decreases.
Soma Sawmill "DlacovsradY
Some sawmills in Lane, county we're
not even on the tax hooks, said Mr.
Galloway. Others had not been valued
for many years. There, was a "net
.add" of about. 91 .10.000 on Lane saw
mills, about $140,000 on Industries and1
a net euf of about 9.180,000 on bus
iness properties, particularly those on
North Willametta and in stagnant
erese of the town.-1
In various businesses, notably bak
eries, laundries, canneries he said the ;
appraisers found serious disparities i
m tha assessment of big and small
concerns. In soma caaea tha nnwill
ingnesa of owners to cooperate in
living; information led to appraisals
which might be. too high but tha com
missions aiwaya would b willing to
levin if proper facta wera given.
. Mr. Galloway challenged tha theory
that tba division of state costs might
bo unfair because ha aays this figure
for each county ia calculated in dol
lar! and centa and not in mills, tha
figure being reached by calculating tha
"actual value" of all property in any
state and measuring this against the
"actual value" for the state, tb ratio
of assessment in each county govern
ing theto- calculations.
Questioned as to how often theaa
county ratios bad been revised or
andited by the state commission, Mr.
Galloway aaid that because of de
pression flotations and lack of men,
no very complete checkup had been
mad for several years hut that tha
policy in normal times ia to check
the county's ratio by comparing tax
valuations with all recorded aalea.
To have a simultaneous and uniform
readjustment of the entire state, Mr.
Galloway said would require 200 men
anr1 a vast appropriation; It would
fake a force of 20 men ten years, and
the present choice ia to do something
or nothing.
Questioned aa to tha need of more
adequate financing and staffing of
the state's work, Mr. Galloway con-'
reded thnt Oregon la lagging; far be-!
hind many states in this work, the j
total appropriations for this work S
being- only a fraction of those in j
Washington. A complete aerial sur
vey of fhe state, he said rnnld speed i
the work ten time, but there nre no:
funds for this purpose. j

"The grains have actually been
cooked in the dough stage," be said in
reporting that the oars and barley
crops were reduced by half in the
southern and western portions of the

harvesting and is being pastured."
Little Rain Needed
However, an immediate return to
normal temperatures, he added, would
