What the farmers are trying to
figure out is how they can raise more
food in 1943 than they did in 1942
(the all-Jime record) with lees help
and less machinery. Department of
agriculture answers this by telling
the farmers to work harder. Big fac­
tor in raising crops is weather, and
no one is promising anything on that.

Observers give the measure little

They own and operate several acres
of real estate in down town Portland,
which for years has received police,
fire protection, etc., from the city
withqut paying one cent of property
taxes. Yet the little fellow who owns
hjs home a block away pays his $75
or $100 a year taxes.
Many of the
legislators would like to know the
reason why, and Multnomah club is
only one of many which’ have been
on the free list for years.
While we're on the tax subject,
several lawmakers are giving real
attention to the problem of collecting
state income taxes from the thou­
sands of shipyard workers and others
who are certainly in the tax-paying
bracket, but for the most part sel­
dom pay. Many are new arrivals in
Oregon who do not own homes but
as a rule have families and one or
more youngsters of school age. As
to be expected these itinerants, who
are receiving wages as high as $12.50
per day, pay nothing in the way of
city or state taxes, yet they demand
and receive all functions of govern­
ment that taxpayers receive.
