Having been over a great part of the devasted areas
n a m e ami Belgium we do not s.vmpathue with the
agitation to release Germany from reparation payments.
Certainly when one country goes wild and lays waste to
others it should he made to pay tor it. The property damage
to Frame and Belgium as a result of the war can hardly
be estimated It will take many generations to repair these
damages.
Germany was untouched, except for the loss of her
man power, by the great war She has been allowed to be
come the world’s greatest borrower following the war and
much of this money has gone into public improvements and
Into reloans to individuals to build factories, apartment
houses and store and office buildings. Certainly a country
which has lost several million men did not need all this
expansion to take care of its own.
Germany is now trying to wriggle out of both her bor
rowed debts and the reparation payments. Threats of
Bolshevism arc hurled at the world. The German people
have too much sense for this in our estimation. They are
no more likely to turn bolshevik than is America. This is
but a brand of their sly propaganda learned so well by them
during the war. We do not believe the American govern
ment, at the exjiense of its own people, will let Germany
“get away” with this sort of irresponsibility and we are
quite certain France will not. even if she has to move back
into the Ruhr.

WHO PAYS THE TAXES
The valuation of the taxable property in Oregon for
1931 was $905,847,238.52. according to the state tax com
mission. This is a decline of about 35 million dollars from
the previous year.
T illab le Land. 10,526,256.92 acres, value

Non-tillable. 13.773.14S.67 acres, value

T im ber lands. 2.777,789.74 acres, value

An analysis of the above figures will show that farm
property is about 32 per cent of the total state valuation,
city property over 42 per cent and public utilities, timber
lands and miscellaneous about 25 per cent. If tax millages
were even throughout the state this percentage would hold
as to the amount of burden each class w ould bear. This
not being the case one may guess that the farmer pays less
than 20 per cent of all taxes, the city property owners more
than 50 per cent and the utilities and timber owners about
30 per cent.
Only nine amendments to the United States constitu
tion have been adopted since 1791 out of over 2000 pro

putting anything permanent over on us.
Japan is some times called Nippon. We wonder if this
comes from her prolonged relations with China.
PROPHETS
A man who was an officer in France told me this story,
which is interesting and may be true.
He said that on November 10, 1918. a friend of his went
into onr headquarters and stopped beside the desk of an
officer who was engaged in statistical work. The officer
had been so busy with his charts and figures that he had
hardly left his office for days.
The visitor said to him: “ Well, I guess it’B about all
over.”
“What do you mean?’ asked the statistican.
“Why, the armtistice will be declared tomorrow.’’
“ Nonsense,” the statistican exclaimed. “This war is going
on for another five years.” Whereupon he drew out his
graphs and his charts and proceeded to prove it.
Here’s another story, told me by a banker.
in November, 1930, the ten leading economists of the
United States held a secret conclave and took a ballot on
how long the business depression would last.
One of them said it would be over in six months.
Four said it would last from one to three years.
The other five said it would last from three to five
years.
“ If they are right, the outlook is pretty gloomy, isn’t
it?”. 1 said it certainly was.
“There is just one joker in the story as I told it,” he
added. “That the meeting was not held in November, 1930.
It was held in November, 1920. And that depression came
to a close, as we now know, in August, 1921.”
Looking back over history, we can see that prophecy
has always been a dangerous business. But as between the
optimistic prophets and the pessimistic the balance is in
favor of the optimists.
Old Mother Shipton, in the early 1500’s, prophesied that
“Iron upon the sea would float as easily as a wooden boat.”
She foretold the irtr-plane, the submarine, and the tele
phone. She was suspected then of being crazy, but she
does not look so crazy now.
John I^aw, of Mississippi Bubble fame, sold shares in
his vast concessions on this continent. Speculation ran
them up to wild prices, and the ensuing panic ruined thous
ands. But those concessions represented the richest part
of the United States. Even at their highest prices they
would be cheap today.
I do not Intend to join the ill-fated company of pro
phets. I merely record my general agreement with the
late P. T. Barnum, who said:
“ If the truth were known I think it would be found
that In this wide-awake country more people are fooled by
believing too little than ever were fooled by believing too
much.”
