nmkliiK ff hl- r.jture home, I would
like to 01,111 a Utile dlHfiiHi-lon, 11 a I
look in It.
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.

high taxation the railroads came to

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
