much of our productive land is threat
ened by confiscation. 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.”

of the Bible?”
No. 3. “Does Bible reading in
crease a boy’s vocablary and give
him a better command of the English
language in its purity?”
No. 4. "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

Montana 400 million feet and Wyom

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

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.

IF YOU COULD LOOK INSIDE
COOLING SYSTEM OF
YOUR CAR
You would be amazed at the amount
of dirt, rust, hose particles, sediment,
lime, non-freeze solution precipitates
and other foreign matter that has
been deposited in the radiator, wa
ter jackets and pump during the past
six months. 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.

“Then probably you could use more milk
to advantage. 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.”
