HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, MAY 17, 1928, PAGE THREE Forest Tax Study For the Northwest A forest tax stury will be begun In Oregon this summer by Fred R. Falrchlld, professor of political ec onomy at Yale university, accord ing to an announcement by the U. S. Forest Service. The conclusion of the fact-finding invstigatio l which has been under way for some time in the Lake states by the U. S. Forest Taxation inquliy, will end shortly, after which work in the Pacific North west will be begun. Professor Fair- child with his party expects to reach Portland between June 15 and June 30. Preliminary work in preparation for the gathering of field data In the two or three states next to be studied, and possibly the beginning 01 tne new work in the New Eng land region is contemplated. In June, the field Investigation of the Pacific Coast region, with Oregon as the key state, will begin. The Fprest Taxation Inquiry is being conducted uncier the terms of the Clarke-McNary law. The work was begun in Minnesota in 1926, find a large amount of valuable data has been collected in the three lake states, with the cooperation of local Interests. In a progress re port on the inquiry, just issued, Professor Fairchild states that the research project of the Inquiry is national in scope and its plan of study contemplates field Investiga tions in each of the more important torest regions of the United States. "Since each state has a financial and taxation system of its own," he says, "It is necessary to make the state the primary unifc of the study. First of all there Is gathered mater ial sufficient to present a clear pic ture or the financial structure and tax system of the state as a whole, Including a general view of the fin ances and taxation of Its counties, towns, or townships, and other local suodivislons. Thereafter selection is made of certain counties or towns for upeclal intensive investi gation, intended to bring to light all obtainable facts bearing upon the tax situation with special ref erence to forest property. "In all of this, the aim is to ac quire a broad foundation of facts relating to the whole financial sys tem, by no means limited to those taxes only which are Imposed upon the forests. Forest taxation can not be successfully studied unless the taxation of forests is fitted Into its proper place in the whole pic ture of state and local revenues and expenditures." Professor Fairchild emphasizes that the Inquiry at present is strict ly a fact-finding organization. The time for conclusions and recom mendations, he says, will come later. Hamilton Fish Favors Duty on Farm Products Hamilton Fish, Jr., Republican of New York and candidate for the nomination for vice president at the Oregon primary election, says: The Democratic party has recent ly proclaimed Its faith in a revision of the tariff downward, and has evidently put it forward as one of the main campaign Issues for 1928. There is not much difference in the principles between the two great parties at the present time, and nil Republicans must rejoice and look forward to giving battle once again on the issue of affording adequate protection to American wage earners and to American in dustry. The prosperity of our country has been built upon the protective principle which has riiade possible th-. American standard of wages and of living. Our wage earners are the best paid, best housed, bed. clothed and most con tented in the world. Revise the tariff dov.nwc.rd and permit com petition from the underpaid labor of Europe or the far East and the economic supremacy of the United States will crumble and the disas trous days of 1914 will be revived with its soup kitchens, and millions of unemployed. As a Republican I trust that the Democratic party will porsist In the error of Its ways and in its antiquated efforts to destroy the American standard of wnges and or' livinp becuuse such an isu & Call and see the IN TERNATIONAL COM BINE.

Mr. Fish who represents one of the largest dairy districts In the United States, declares, "Instead of revising the tariff downward, I be lieve that the time has come when jfiicr.lturil products should be giv en the same amount of protection ib other industries. The farmers of both the East and West have to buy in a protective market and sell in competition with the rest of the world. The remedy is not in a down ward revision of the tariff, but In affording adequate protection on what farmers produce; they are en titled to the same consideration as other protected indjstries, no more or no less. Believing that the prin ciple of equality ar.d parity is sound and that industries should be treat ed alike without favoritism, I have introduced a bill to increase the duties on various farm products, which are suffering from foreign competition such, as dairy products, egss, vegetables, my and poultry. It seems to me to be fair and just that the rates on agricultural pro du'ctfi should be on a level compar able to the rates that are effective in other Industries. I believe it would be practical to pass a spe cial emergency tariff bill limited to providing adequate protection on agricultural products. If the gov ernment affords proper and reason able" protection to the farmer, it will increase his buying power and thereby help other American in dustries.
