If taxes on dairy farms come high, blame real estate agents and sharks for some of it. Why not ask the Railroad Commission to remove the toll gate in Yamhill county, for it is an injustice and graft in these days of progress. Speaking about detectives, we heard a person say, why don't they investigate the transac­ tions in a certain farm in the north of the county. It is proposed to build a hard surfaced road from Portland to Eugene. If the promoters are looking for n scenic route for a hard surfaced road, why, that to Tillamook can’t be bent any­ where in Oregon. real estate sharks have man* aged to "water" it with ad­ vanced valuations and commis­ sions no one can tell. Renewed effort should be put forth to improve the quality of Tillamook chesse. That, with the large amount of advertising it receives in the newspapers, will keep the price of the home product at the top possible price. At the commencement of the season is a good time to do this. The new tariff law will demor­ alize the price of cheese, and to off set this a superior quality of cheese will command better prices. The dairy interests ol the county have done much to improve the quality of Tilla­ mook cheese. Let the good work go on and endeavor to con­ vince everybody that it is the quality of Tillamook cheese that gives it its wide reputation and demand for the same. Tillamook County was hand­ It was not known last week, ed crntic party. reli, wasn’t it the sovereign will of the people that gave us u Democratic administration ? And this spring when Canadian cheese is dumped on the I'nited States markets that will also be permitted by the sovereign will of the people, because the Progressives helped to defeat the Republican party. The city, ami not the citizens who started the litigation, is taking an appeal in the pnve- itientcase. Strange, isn’t it, that an appeal should be taken when it was proclaimed that the citi­ zens had won a great victory. There’s one thing about it the taxpayers will have to keep on paying high taxation for outside attorneys. is Bold at inflated figures, the adjoining land is immediately valued at the same ’price, con­ sequently increase) assessment and taxation follows. There you have it in a nutshell,which is going to be a burning ques­ tion in this county. It is a live subject because it cuts quite a swarth into dairymen’s incomes at tax-killing times. We are going to ask the Grangers of the county to discuss this question at their meetings, and propound a few questions : “Is it right to pay out hard earned money in taxation for inflated values in dairv lands ?” W hat do they think would be a fair valuation to place on the different kinds of land ?” “Why is it that many dairvmen place high valuations on their lands when a prospec­ tive buveris in sight, and then ‘beef’ like blazes at their lands being assessed at one half the valuation they have placed on them ?" roads thing upon is lx>- roads right I tjose anil ambition to work stead­ fastly for a greater Oregon and for the universal happiness and pros­ perity of all our people. We should plan for large things in this grand old Oregon. Agriculture is our basic wealth. Last year the farms of Oregon yielded crops represent­ ing an aggregate value of $140,000,- 000 and this even is no measure of the possibility of agriculture in this Btate. Therefore, the success of our commercial, banking, manu­ facturing and transportation inter­ ests is largely dependable upon the farms of Oregon. The most im­ portant problem confronting the people of Oregon today is better means of transportation. We need better roads, deeper channels to the sen, and more railroads ; these are the main arteries of commerce and lead to a higher civilization We should encourage the building of railroads and remember that capital must be assured of fair earnings from investments, other­ wise investments will not be made. I believe in the principle of making the burden of taxation as easy as possible, therefore advocate the payment of one half of the taxes by the first of April and the balance by the first of September, without penalty. 1 stand for rigid law en­ forcement and advocate the repeal of all useless laws 1 am heartily in sympathy with the principle that the laborer is worthy of his hire and every effort should be put forth to harmonize conflicting differ­ ences between capital and labor in the interest of the highest indus­ trial achievement. We should be loyal to home manufacturers. to thia cit y from as far off as Aus­ tralia, by way of San Francisco. Three hundred thousind pounds from that country has been laid down here within the last two or three weeks. Butter has also been shipped from the Argentine, Den­ mark and Siberia. The shipments butter dealers admitted today, have created marked uneasiness in the wholesale market, with the result that there has been an unloading of various stocks. The best grade butter was selling today at 20 2 to 27 cents n pound wholesale. The American demand for foreign butter has caused a rise of 2 to 3 cents a pound in some of the foreign markets. It is generally admitted here that the price oi butter in this country will be kept in the future at a lower average level than be­ fore. We respectfully refer the above to the editor of the Herald, for Bro. Trombley is one of the few Democrats who shouted for the free trade party and is lauding the new tariff law, notwith­ standing that all the products of Tillamook county are placed on the free list. The semi-annual edition of the Trade Review, published by G. R. Dun & Co., is a most un reliable .and misleading publi­ cation, and we want, in behalf of the people of Tillamook, to pro­ test against such garbled stuff being sent out to fool the peo­ ple. We give below what it purports to be the business con­ ditions and outlook in this coun­ ty, which we declare is absurd from beginning to end, Every­ body knows that it is a lie to say there is a ten per cent increase in cheese at Bay City, because it neither ships nor manufactures cheese. Read the absurd truck : T illamook C otnty . B ay C ity .—There is a 10 per cent increase in cheese production and lumber is normal. Farmers are in excellent financial condition and loans are being reduced on account of prosperous seasons. Merchants are in very good condition with normal stocks and book accounts. Prospects for 1914 are good. C loverdale .—Dairying is the prominent industry. There is an increase in the cheese production. The salmon pack was lees than half of last year on account of glutted market. A whey sugar fac’ory was established at Tillamook this year. Farmers are prosperous and in the South end of the county merchants are in good financial condition, carrying normal stocks. In some section of the county more is being carried on the books than usual. T illamook .—Cheese shows an increase of 5 per cent. Small quan­ tities of hay and grain are raised. Lumber shows an increase of 20 per cent. The financial condition oi the farmers is fairly good. Loans are being increased in some places for improvements, Merchants generally are in fair condition. Prospects nre fair for 1914. The tariff may affect cheese and lumber. Government projects at Nehalem and Tillamook will make business better. W heeler .—Cheese butter and vegetables show increase of 10 per cent to 30 per cent. Canned salmon a decrease of 40 per cent. Shingles an increase of 100 per cent, boxes and sashes, 25 per cent. A new shingle mill and two new saw mills have been established during the Summer Farmers are in good financial condition. Speculation in land is over and farmers are paying out on their farms. Vegetable and berry growing are being added to dairying. Merchants are prosper­ ous ard carrying lighter stocks on account of buying conservatively. Very little was done in fisheries this year and consequently mer­ chants are carrying more on their books. Harbor work projected will be in full swing in 1914 and should stimulate business, especially if the lumber market improves.
