FOR A SQUARE DEAL T11E proposal to incrense tho assessed valuation of the timber holdings in Jackson county to make tho own ers stand a just sharo of taxation is bringing strenuous protests from the timber speculators, who aro holding for unearned increment. This is to bo expected. Having for years been enjoy ing special privileges in taxation, they naturally seek tho perpetuation of these privileges. Despite all protests, the faqt remains that tho timber owners are not paying in pro portion to the value of their holdings as compared with other property owners. The fata also remains that the timber land is assessed less in Jackson than in other coun ties of the state. TIiq farmer, the orchardist, the city property owners aro paying on a much higher proportional valuation than tho timber owners, who aro not developers, the vast major ity of whom aro not oven residents of the slate and mere speculators. Tho timber lands when assembled in large blocks, have a commercial value of from .3o to $100 an acre, dependent upon the quantity and quality of timber. Owners pay upon a valuation of from $10 to $20 an acre. One tract of over 13,000 acres is bonded for $33 an acre and paying upon a valuation of $12 an aero. Of course, to secure exact valua tions tho timber should be cruised, but it is not necessary to await a cruise to equalize the taxation. A few examples will show the proportion of taxation borne by the largo timber speculators. The acreage and the amount of taxes paid in 1914 are taken from the countv assessors' records. The figures on valuation arc furnished by competent cruisers as lair for taxation purposes. The rate column shows the rate of taxation paid in nulls upon a fair valuation.

"Why mmish tho actual resident and developer of the county to favor the non-resident specu lator' The county records show, exclusive of the railroad laiid grant, 202,371 acres of timber land in large holdings owned by lion-rcsidcnt speculators. They show another (55,000 acres held in small tracts by speculators living outside the county and mostly outside the state. They show of the timber holdings but 75,000 acres owned by people living in the county who .pay taxes on other property and would be benefitted by an equalization. All that the people want is a square deal, the treating of all classes of property owners on a just basis.

It is therefore necessary to do everything in our power to attract tourists this way. The county court has appointed .several committees to strengthen our display at the exposition, and co-operation ot all the pcoplo is requested to make pur exhibit as attractive as possible. No one thing appeals to the tourist more than hunting, fishing, good roads and beautiful scenery. Jackson county has them all. Therefore special effort is being made to display these attractions. A hunting camp scene is to be portrayed with trophies of the gun and rod. The committee asks those "who have trophies in the way of bear, cougar, coyote, deer hides, rugs or mounted ani mals and birds to loan them, bafe return is guaranteed, with the packing, installation and repacking in charge of a SKineu laxiuernusc. Mayor Emerick has set a good example by loaning 1 1 .T . .1 1 A ueuuuiui. cougar ana near rugs, .assessor u neves lias loaned an extensive collection of antlers. Others seen have promised other trophies. But suitable trophies arc hard to secure and not near enough has been secured to open the eyes of the easterners to what the committee intends will be the most attractive exhibit to sportsmen at the fair. If you have anything suitable and have patriotism enough to loan it, phone or write or bring it in to E wing's Gun Store.
