The following I the afore mentioned nc Item: Farmers uav a property tax which averaged M per cent of their net Income, an official of the Farm Bureau Federation told the Mate Tax Mudy Com mission Wednesday. Lou NorrK legislative repre sentative of the Farm Bureau, said this "Is a disproportionate share of property taxes." Other people, he aald, pay an average of about 4 per rent ot income for property taxes. He $aid the Farm Bureau hoiH-s to make a court test of a new law passed hv this year's Legislature. The law was In tended to encourage assessors to take the Income-producing ca pacity of a farm Into account when thev assess it. Assessing now Is done mostly by comprising sales of compar able farms to determine market value. Norrls said the Tax Com mission and assessors apparent ly have not chanced their meth ods of assessment despite the new law. Charles Mack, chairman of the state Tax Commission, said assessors are handicapped by trying to determine If a pur chaser genuinely Intends to use the land for farm purposes, or to hold It for speculation. He said farm land values have been driven up by non agricultural use of land: a strong demand to enlarge farms, more available credit, and ex pectations of a continued rise In land values. Mack said one of the major non-farm uses Is for highways ily reunion with their sons and families, the Scott McMurdos of Corvallis, the Jed McMurdos of Portland and Dr. Bernard Mc Murdo of Burllngame, Calif.
