KiiKene h 11 nice town, one of the hCMt In W'etern Urexon, a hiu-y jilace, wllh u Kplendlrl, hoi-IiiI cIiihk of d'-Kir-nhto Anierlcun cltl7.eun. To look at tlr- houxcH, I don't believe, that there are any poor people here, for I nevr aiiw, talio the town over, an many nice, pretty, comfortable hoinen, a can ho found here. And they are ai-uttered all over the rliy; no certain parta a favorite for elegant huuien, but on the contrary, there are no ahuntleH; and elegant, roatly homea are to be found In overy part of Eu gene. Health, wealth, and hapulneaa are found here In abundnnce. Eu gene la a desirable place for a home. An Ideal home to ralKe up a good, true, happy family. Hut there are Kimo drawharka: and to thcae I wlnh to draw tho attention of our good people here at thla time. I am told that pavement la a pretty expenalve luxury, and mme of the InrgeHt property ownura have good alzed kicks coming, when it conies to paying their iiHioaiimonts. They cry that It la outrageoua and an ImpoHltlou on tlinin. that they be compelled to pay no much toward a luxury. Well, now, la It a luxury nllogother? Don't you think It a good biiHlness Judgment don't you think It a good Inveatment? Let tin look at It, Mr. Property Holder, In nnolher light. I have Just prnlsed Kugenn, not any more than are her Juat tleaerla. Hut, nfler due obaer- vnllona of all the advnntagea nature bus ao prodigally proauuteil to Lane rounly, Inn length of time Kugene hna been a town, I am compelled to ty, wllh all her advantagea In every way, Eugene la twenty yeara behind the limes In everything, excepting the price of unimproved real estate I hut la aa high na It should he when Kiigeno la double and treblo ila pres ent aim, and aa I have been a close observer of nearly every city and town In -the great Middle Wont, I think I ran form a very good Idea of the advantages and disadvantages to be met with. I presume that this sHitemrnt will take the breath nut of mime of our lot owners, especially large holdera. The truth of the mat. ter la, I am going to talk to them as they are really the ones Ihnt are greatly Interested In tha growth or non-growth of Eugene. I ahull en deavor to ahow where they are. or at I least some of them, and h'tvo been I penny wine and pound foolish. The history of Lane county goes to show that they are to Maine for the backward tendencies of their home town, and yet I presume they Imag ine that (hey are a great help to the community. Well, are thev! "Jim Jones" owns ft large tract of proper ty. Eugene la growing up nil around It. Jim Junes has, by thrift anil In dustry, and a strong Inclination to economy, saved up enough of Ihls world's goods to b perfectly able to live In luxury and ease for the i-e.it of his life, Jim has a large number of friends and relatives, and they be. llevn lu him; he Is a flue mnii and ho heloniss to the church, c.f which he Is very proud.

Where Ih lonely settl.r had to haul his niesitre siipltiHi fnnu the nearest rsllroad siali.ui. iirobahlr a htindrt-J or two hutidrt-d miles, after high taxation the railroads came to him or to hia neareBt town. if the people of Eugene really want to see a town of fifteen, twenty- or thirty thousand Inhabitants s 1011. they must do their own Individual duty. One of them Is to tax, and tlX hi-avlly, larite unltiijirovi-d tracts of land or Mb Inside the city limits of Kugene. Then keep the tax of Im proved properly down to normal. Oo not compel the man who puts his all Into Improvements on his property to ay the largest proportion of thu taxes, but reverse the ttsseasment, and put tho burden of tax'itlon on the man who not only owns the I mil and retanlH the growth of the city, but keeps his money locked up in the vaults. Tax him strong enough and see how Boon that large tract of va cant ground will dlnappcar. and new homes be built, and not only built, but occupied. I hear some one say: "Oh. but I have my property on the market and am trying to sell It." Yes, at what prices? I.er' us look al It a llltl" lilt. Jim Jones ownB several Iota pretty well out. and anka l.'.no each for them. .Vow Is that lot w-irih $r.(in yon ask him. "Why, certainly " 'What 11111kes.lt worth that?" you auk. "Why. the future; juat think of It," he replies. "Vi-8," you any; "can you borrow Hint. much, or nlxty per cent or It, til tin- hank?" "Why, n-:i, I giiens mil," he replies. Well, tli"n. iIoob tho land as It stands now, make you a good living rate of interest, and pay all of the taxes? "Why no; of course not," Is the reply. "Then you expect to hold It, and keep adding the Interest and taxes to nr. Inflated price for ground for years for some poor fool to pay It all, while you have dono nothing toward Improvements on tho grounds ao an to make It pay a portion at leaBt of tho percentage that In due you." You want the as sessor to assess the lot at Hb true val ue you do not feel like paying more a certainly not aa much aa your ag-nt asked for It. Why? And yet your neighbor lust across the street haa bought a lot for 1300, and built a 11200 house on It. That helped you. (If you hnvo any business down town at all, or even if you are a re tired farmer, It. helps you, It helps your tenant, for it makes business bo he can pay tho rent.) Thin man ! now pnya taxes on a. IlliOO piece of property, and you continito to pay taxes on a $1100 piece of Innd that you say is worth ii00. Can you commend yourself lo your minister in that deal? Hut now here. Mr. Property owner, suppose you change your mind. You noil that piece of ground for what It Is worth, we will say $:I00. Your customer buys It for n home; he nets the cost of hln hotiKc in circulation. Now you have gotten your lltDO. Huppnso you go out lo the edge of town, or to a new addi tion and buy threo Iota with it. Now for the anko of argument you have another lot alongside of tho one you aold probably more, for 1 am now talking to largo land owners; when that house In completed and occupied, the properly all along tho Btrent, nrotind the corner and back on tho next Btreet la worth more. Your lot alongside Is worth 50 to $100 mnro. Huppose you sell or build on the lot, that enhnncoB your lot again Jf.O to $100. Now, then, your lot Is worth IfiOO. Why la It worth $500?- In the building of those houses it hns requir ed the aorvircfl of a number of men, they received their wages nnd apent them with the nirrhanta. It ntiniu lats trado In every direction. "Hut," you will say. "1 lost 1200 In selling that lot at 300." Hid you? how ran you lose nothing? That Is llko tho man I heard In Nebraska. Ho wna bewailing that ho was losing a 111 II nondollar a a year, and he was ao In earnest nboitt It that I asked him how that come. "Why, bocnuae," aald he, "I haven't enough cattle to eat the buffalo grass up thnt la growing nil that was. "Why, because," said he, about us," Hut back again to that $300 Investment you tnndVt In the edge of town. Through Blurting & healthy growth down town. In a few years, perhaps only a short time, they are worth $1100 each. You have got your money and you have accom plished something that every desir able clllxen should do. You have helped to build up your town. And all accomplished by placing tho price of your lots nt an honest value, a val ue that you are willing f.ir Ihe asses sor to appraise, and thereby you can now look your clergymnn in the face and say "I have done my best." Now all Jim Jonscs of Kiinene, and liter,, lire uever.il ..f vmi I until vmii I to take this lo !r art - think of It -'and remember tint your land !s worth mere lo Kili;etl '. covered with 'houses, than an empty vacant spot. .Voters of Kiiitene and Improved prop jeriy holders, tax vacant weed patched to death if you would build up a city.
