Our state con tinues to face u situation that de mands a reduction of the tax burden. Our future growth and prosperity rest upon our success in arresting the rising tide of taxation and in distrib uting more equitably the burden that now oppresses our productive c.asses. “Concerted action by all tax levy ing bodies in Oregon must be ap plied to the solution of this prob lem. All parts of our state and all political subdivisions that have to do with the raising and spending of tax moneys must join in an organized determination to accomplish this re sult and must assist•in the enact ment of laws that are sorely needed to bring about a more equitable as sessment of properties and to reach other sources of revenue in meeting the expenses of government. “You are advised that it is my plan to call a general meeting of the members of the several tax super- vising and conservation commission of the state at Salem early this fall to study and consider this vital prob lem and to* plan toward harmonious and concerted action.” Lnoofc ¡«111»^'** W«ek!y Paper l»«»y Friday By The publishing Company, Inc., I Tillasi'x'k.

"Do you consider the Bible lessons as given in the English school a factor in the formation of charac ter and an aid to good citizeship?” The testimony of most of the great est men in the world on the value of the Bible itself is that it is the hook of books.” The Headlight would answer no to the first question. To the second it would answor yes. To all the other questions it would answer yes. If the Bible is what it is c’<'med to be, the spiritual and moral k <: <e of mil lions, a knowledge of it teachings in the public schools should have an elevating influence on the scholars. Considered from all angles the read ing of the Bible in the public schools for half an hour each day without sec tarian Interpretation on the part of the teachers, should enlarge the vocab ulary, educate the conscience and give the student a better view of life, its duties and possibilities, than would be possible under other conditions. If we are not ashamed of the Bible and its teachings, why should we hesitate to have it read in our public schools ? Children have never forgotten the les sons inculcated in their youthful mind by the reading of the Bible at home or in the churches or in the schools. It is "an anchor to windward" in ev ery man's life and while many do not live by it, they almost invariably turn to it in their dying moments, thus confessing their belief in the Book. The United States should cut out all politics and dodging and have the Bi ble read in the public schools. He who is not for it, is against the greatest moral and the most uplifting book ever given to mankind. The Pacific northwest, comprising the states of Oregon, Washington, Montana and Wyoming, has -111 per cent of the entire timber resources of the United States. All other states have 51.000,000,<100 feet. And anoth er fact to which this state can point with pride is that Oregon leads the whole galaxy of states with 480 bil lion board feet. Next comes the state of Washington with 335 billion board feet; California comes third with 300 billion board feet. Idaho has 85 hillion and Montanu 60 billion feet. The heaviest stands of yellow pine are found in the Bend country in central Oregon, while Iduho has the largest white pine forests. Montanu has more western larch than any of the other states. About two thirds of the forests of the northwest are own ed by private individuals or companies while about one third of the total is still in the hands of the government. Considerable of this is within forest reserves. Washington is leading all other states in the volume of produc tion. With 300 logging camps and 800 sawmills, she is turning out 5 1-2 bil lion board feet of lumber. She is al so making two-thirds of ull the shin gles in the northwest. Oregon mukes 6 1-2 billion shingles a year. Her lum ber production amounts to three and one third billion feet, There in room, so the statistics say, for at least 16 paper and pulp millB. Idaho is produc ing 900 million feet of lumber and kv< <y. kw ■ «w kw kw kw kw kw kw.kw kw<w.bw i I Montana 400 million feet and Wyom ing about 8 1-2 million feet. The United States is in the midst of a great building boom and the de mand for lumber is - enormous. In spite of wood substitutes the demand for timber is increasing. Farmers are said to be the largest consumers of lumber. Ninety-eight per cent of the rural houses are of wood. The use of wood is growing. Not only is there a demand for pulp wood for pa per products of various kinds, but it is also used for fibre containers, wall board, etc., and recently has entered into the construction of artificial boards. It is also being used for the manufacture of artificial silk, rope, carpets and other fabrics. Chemical research is revealing new uses for wood not dreamed of a few years ago. The age of wood, says an eastern pa per, “has not been left behind us; it may well lie ahead of us.” It is es timated that the lumber business in the northwest must triple its output during the next 15 years. The army of 150,000 workmen must increase to close to a half million within that time. The great migration of the lum ber industry begun in the eastern states and worked west to the great lake region. Then it went to the sou thern states and now it is coming to the northwest. The United States has $5,000,000,000 invested in plants Office: Nat'l Bank Bldg Ground Floor FEATURES that make lumber, .wood products and paper. These’ establishments employ 1,350,000 workers. Millions of money will be invested in lumber making equipment within the next few yehrs in the northwest. The east is looking towurd the west for opportunity. Till amook county is destined to be a great hold of lumber producing activity, and its population will increase by leaps and bounds. Should we begin to get ready to accommodate the coming ar my of workers and residents? What is needed more than any thing else at presant, is housing capacity for the new comers. The new lumber indus tries will force the population. ‘COUNTY BOARDERS’ ARE CROWDING JAIL The hotel de Aschirn is now full of summer boarders, there being nine in that county hostelry at the present time. There is room for eight, so that the jail may be said to be crowded. Beach bathing is non est and joy riding with the summer girls is strict ly prohibited by law. Mine host As- chim suys that if the rush continues he will have to install the sleeping car bunk system. Both Fhonas: Ball <3-3 P. O Box 187 PACIFIC ABSTRACT CO. L. V. EBERHARDT, Prop.

Evrey atom of this for eign matter means a cutting down in the efficiency of your cooling system and likewise a reduction in the effic iency of your motor, causing an ever increasing and ivasteful consumption of gasoline and oil. BEFORE A poor coloing system causes the engine to get too hot and expand which in utm gives piston too much play room resulting in scored cylinders and defective rings. It also causes an engine to use too much oil and gas on account of a lack of perfect com pression. No more use for weeping radiators. 100P0WER BUICK MOTOR COMPANY nnounces Jor 1Q24 EASY STARTING SMOOTH ACCELERAnON EXTRA MILEAGE HAVE IT CLEANED OUT NOW By the use of Tyree Guaranteed Radiator Cleaner, we can give your cooling system a positive and thorough cleaning that will remove every vintage of foreign matter without laying up your car.

You mention only two quarts daily for two children and two ad ults, one of whom is trying to gain weight. The children would do well to have a quart or nearly a quart each, and you should have a pint at least for yourself and from a pint to a quart (according to his special needB and his assimulation) for your husband. Then with the increase of milk you can eas ily cut down your meat and egg bill. “A good rule to remember is that for ev ery extra half pint of milk used in the daily diet the other protein foods, such as meat, eggs, fish, cheese, may be reduced by two ounces without any dietetic loss. Milk is usually the least expensive and the most easily served and assimulated of all the p otein foods.” BUICK MOTOR- COMPANY.
