Only PAGE SIX Tax Reduction Idle Talk; Reform of System Only Hope By I.M. MoMahan. , The trouble In all this furore about taxes In that but few who pay taxes take enough Intelli gent Interest In politic to know what ought to be done; and in se lecting legislators they vote with out knowledge of or care for the candidate's qualification for the office. In vain do I read the varlous( platforms for Intelligent state ments of the candidates' proposed activities, If elected. They are all for economy, all for reducing tax and so has each! candidate pledged himself since the forma tion of government, but taxes have Increased In spite of all the com plaining taxpayers have done. The average legislator Is honest and wants to redeem the pledges he made in good faith, but when elected he finds that organized forces beyond his control run the legislature and that he Is not un like a piece of flotsom, shunted from one place to another, with out power to control anything. Long before the legislature meets various men select for speaker of the bouse and president of the sen ate those who will appoint com mittees favorable to them and to the predatory interests they rep resent; and these committees, when so appointed, will see to 11 that the interests which selected them are protected. As a result of this pernicious system the leg islation for that Besslon 1b defi nitely shaped long before the leg islature meets. We got rid of the party convention, but not of the party caucus, the trading and log rolling. Every member of the leg islature who engages in "log-rolling" should, upon conviction thereof forfeit his office and bt forever disbarred from holding any office in thlB state. Each bill should be passed or defeated solely upon its merits, but this Is Impossible so long as legislators persist in trading their support for one bill in return for the support of some other bill. Unltil "log-roiyng" is Btopped pratclcal reformation Is impossi ble. The state, is sadly in need of in telligent constructive legislation and the only way to get it is for the people to draft a just platform and pledge each candidate to sup port it.- Such a platform I attempt to submit and I bave the temerity to inquire; Who among the can didate will endorse It? taxing the people only tor the ET 1 The legislature is justified in taxing the people only for the necessary expenses of government economically administered. 2 The taxpayers have com pletely fulfilled their duty to the children when they bave provided each child an ever-present oppor tunity to secure a high school edu cation; and if ny child gets more than this it should get it at its own expense or at the expense oi those upon whom it is dependent From thiB statement of a funda mental principle we can approach the solution of the problem), growing out of our state collegeb understanding. - S The Jurisdiction "tit justices of the peace should be increased to $500 and no appeal therefrom should be allowed, unless the amount invoved exceeds $200. The fees in the circuit court should be radically increased, throwing more of the burdens of litigation upon litigants and less upon the taxpayers; and no appeal should be allowed unless the amount ex ceeds $500, or Boni constitutional question, or the construction of a law is at ' Issue. Such changes would make It practical to reduce the members of the supreme court from seven to five and eliminate at least one-third of our circuit judges and save the taxpayers ful ly $250,000 a year. In this coun ty alone I know of one civil case which cost tbe state $860 and the fees paid by the litigants amount ed to but $19. 6 The insurance' companies do ing business in this state annual ly collect from the people about $10,000,000 a year n.ore than they pay back In losses and claims. Tbe state already supports an insur ance commissioner and an army ol clerks and the Insurance business is always conducted and paid for out of tbe money paid by the in sured. Tbe state should create a department of Insurance, cut the cost of insurance fully one-third, pay Us expenses and turn into the general fund fully $5,000,000 an nually. e la each county we hare sheriff and bis deputies, in each precinct a constable and in each incorporated town a police force to arrest those who violate the law, yet the state game corn ml a don annually expends $40,000 for game wardens and the total fines are less than $700 a year. Prac tically these wardens serve no otU er purpose than to constitute i political machine and make game licenses absurdly high. 7 Portland millionaires bave private game preserves upon which they feed ducks many tons of wheat. This attracts practical ly all the ducks ta this valley to tbe preserves and gives to the owners thereof a monopoly of duck shooting. A law should be passed prohibiting shooting over feeding grounds. g Tbe penalty now exacted for non-payment of taxes is unjust and profits only the usurer. " It should be reduced. 9 Tbe age of consent shoflld be increased from sixteen to eigh teen years of age, so as to afford more protection to our girls and to give organized society a chance to discourage the actitivics of libertines. DAIRY LECTURES VALUABLE ,CL AIM Dallas, Or., April 17. Paul Carpenter, county agent, has written and sent out from his of fice in Dallas the following cir cular letters to the farmers living in the1 community tributary - to where tbe meetings mentioned In the letter are to be held. These metlngs are creating a great deal of Interest among the farming ele ment and will undoubtedly be ex ceptionally well attended. ' "It is with a feeling almost of reverence that we look upon the record of Lad's Iota, netf cham pion of the Jersey breed, who has just closed a year's production of aver 1047 pounds of butter fat. There comes a sense too of pro found respect for her owner and caretaker, S. J. McKce, and for this great animal's breeder, O. O. Hewitt. "To produce and feed a cow to a record of 1000 pounds of butter Cat is a distinction that comes to but few men. The 1000-pound class of breeders and feeders is not crowded. "How was such production pos sible? Iota was provided with the material with which to manufac ture that record quantity of milk and fat she was well and prop erly fed. McKee knew her needs and met them. She was made com fortable. Care counts, And the cow had It 'in her' to produce. She comes from a long line of dairy animals bred for just that kind of work. Feed, care, breeding they win. "Now a eeuBlon at each of the dairy demonstration farms in the county on the science of breeding dairy stock for high and profitable production, with Professor Pitts, dairy specialist of the col lege extension service pointing the way.

In the statement Issued by H. H. Franklin, reductions as much as $1600 under war prices are lndl- cated. Touring car at $1960 and sedan at $2860 are typical of the new schedule of prices applying to the entire Franklin line. "We determined to get under the price level of July, 1914, the month the world war started, and also under the level of Mareh, 1917, the month before the Unit ed States entered the war," Mr. Franklin said. "So today our basis is pre-war from any angle you take it. This move puts us in po sition to attain large volume Jn the quality car field. "While coincident with this price reduction we are reducing overhead, wage rates will not be disturbed at present. As far as in ventories are concern8'IT7 the Frank lin company shows a favorable condition due to selling well ahead of the industry as a whole during 1921."
