M"EDFORD MATL TRIBUNE. MEDFOTU). OTCEfiOX. THYRRDAY. AUGUST 4. 1038. PAOE TITREE 1AX EXEMPTION PETITION FILED 6ALEM, Aug. 4 (AP) Preliminary petition for a constitutional amend ment exempting from taxation every dwelling house, Including adjacent land, occupied by the owner aa Ms or her residence, on Its true cash value up to 82000, was filed in the tate department here today. The petition was filed by the Home-owners Tax Exemption league of which Charles H. Ager, Portland, la president. In event a sufficient number of signatures are obtained the const. tutlonal amendment will go on the ballot at the November election In 1040. Ballot title wae prepared by the at torney general. The Municipal art commission of New York City has passed upon Im provements costing over 9400.000,000 since 1933. Goliath's Legs wouldn't reach the Ground GOLIATH was a giant. He measured six cubits and a span. In his hands he could have picked up America's first commercial oil still. A picture from the plush-covered album days shows that still. An or dinary man leans against it his arm draped negligently over the top. Now a fractionating column is today's descendant of that still. What such jiggers do and how they do it needn't worry you if you'll just take our word that they're tremendous big gadgets which inhabit refiner ies. Some rise 120 feet high and outweigh the Statue of Liberty. If old Goliath had his pic ture taken with his arm hooked . over the top of such a one, his toes would dangle 114 feet in air. To make his legs reach the ground he'd have to call for his parachute or his pall-bear-ers. For his height was only the length of six forearms and the spread of a hand the day David took his measure. The barrel-sized still supplied the oil lamp a worthy ac complishment. The mechanical titans which have developed from it allow the oil industry to furnish a nation with cheap, dependable roadside fuel and make motoring an essential part of life for almost every Amer ican a truly gigantic achievement.
