EXCLUSIVE NEWS DISPATCHES
REDUCTION IS
TALK OBJECT
Monmouth Robert E. Smith of
Portland, regional director of the
National Secruity Owners associa
tion, and formerly of the Lumber
men's Trust company of Portland,
addressed a luncheon party in the
Monmouth hotel dining room at the
time of the regular weekly meeting
of the Lions club. An ini'itation had
been extended to representative cit
izens and a number of visitors were
present. The meeting was prelimin
ary to another held In Dallas that
evening.
Smith opposed the 20 mill tax lim
itation on the ground that it would
result in chaotic conditions in state,
counties and municipalities. He said
the bill originated with Portland
real estate men who had gone out
and got the backing and got the
Lacking of lame property owners.
It is on a line with a general move
ment throughout the nation to en
act similar legislation, although the
Oregon proposal is quite a little more
drastic than is proposed in most oth
er states. The Oregon proposals is
for a 50 per cent assessment of the
cash value of property. Thus the tax
base might shift radically from year
to year as property values raised or
lowered.
The speaker opposed the grange
power bill, chiefly on the ground
that it proposes another commission.
He admitted that it docs not pro
pose to Issue any bonds except on
vote by the people, but said certi
ficates, similar to warrants might be
issued up to 50 per cent of total re
ceipts. He asserted the law would
allow the commission to lease or ar
range for the operation of private
power plants in which case they
would be exempt from taxation. He
admitted the new commission pro
posed under the bill would really su
percede another commission now In
existence. Smith then took up the
topic of the trend of the times as
instanced by the success and plans
of Upton Sinclair in Califjrnla. In
Callioi'nia he had visited the Sin
clair headquarters and had pur
chased stickers, signs and pamphlets
used in the campaign. One handbill
to be posted in windows said: "Un
der the E. P. I. C. plan this house
will be exempt from taxation." The
proposal on which the primary was
won was to exempt from taxation
houses occupied by owners, rated at
$3000 or less. A proposal on one of
the booklets was to seize "an old po
litical )arty arid use It In a new
cause." All campaign literature used
by Sinclair was sold. Stickers cost
one cent each. Pamphlets cost 25
cents each. Window posters sold for
3 cents each. Meetings addressed by
Sinclair drew large crowds at 25
cents admission and on top of that
the contribution plate was parsed.
He sal Sinclair proposed to put
past of the uncmploymployed on
farms and the remainder in factor
ies now idle, the two divisions to
trade products with one another.
He said this might work as far as
these divisions were concerned but
it would wreck private business
working on competition. This, he
said, is what Sinclair aims at, in or
der that nil business may be pub
licly conducted.
Private business, asserted Smith,
depends on profits ns its impelling
motive and when profits are inter
fered with privately conducted "busi
ness languishes. He admitted that
changes must be made in the busi
ness set up to conform to new con
ditions. He told of the vogue of tech.
nocracy in Seattle nnd of the sweep
which the Townscnd old ae pen
sion plan Is making. He was vogue
in describing what adjustments he
thought must be made but thought
the National Securities act was in
the right direction. He told of an in
terview with a conservative Calif or -ninn
who was supporting Ginrlair
on this plea: One third of Califor
nia citizens are unemployed. Anoth
er third are hanging on by their eye
brows. Such a situation justifies ex
perimentation and thought the Sin
clair plan would do as well as any
other exioriment. Smith invited cit
izens present to the Dallas meeting
at night,
plan ih;i;k hunt
Victor Point Eddie King accom
panied his sister, Mrs. Chester Mul
kcy and son Warren on a week-end
trip to central Oregon. They will
