TO THE

To the Kdlt.w:
Aa a continuous propenv w
paer In Morrow County for

tifiM of Novemlxrr 1H In
the Oit:mUn uhUlt I t'lU- U
worth reprinting. It deal with a
kubevt which wt. aa farmers,
are ttally tnterefcletl In.
The economy of buinea in
our county and atate la In many
way in direct prporllon to the
net farm Income.
I do not acre with Char!c
Mack -that a lower valuation of
farmland would l of no bene
fit to several Oregon counties
be-aue of lack of other proper
ties to whiih thev could he shift
ed." I believe we wuld be U-t-ter
off in having a lower a-isejoi-ed
value and perhaps, a higher
mtUace fur aeveral good reas
ons. rolb!y a aalea Ux to tH-M-t
property tax and our present
net Income tan tvuld txe up
the slack.
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.
