SAKE ARGUES FOR
COUNTY AS TAX UNIT
Head Of State Commission
Points Out Evils Existing
Under Present Plan.
LACKING IN UNIFORMITY
Larger Administrative Dis
tricts Urged as Means to
Greater Efficiency.

A plea for the county plan Of tax ad-
ministration as a means to greater ef-
iciency was made yesterday by Martin
SAKE. president Of the State Tax Com
mission. before the County Government
Association in Syracuse. A majority Of
the States have now accepted the county
Al the local unit, he said. and expert
enced tax administrators believe It does
away with many evils that exist under
the town plan. Mr.. Saxe said:
Experienced tax administrators the
country over decidedly favor the county
system. Comparative studies Of the two
methods show that the town plan pos
sesses all the disadvantages Of the small
unit for tax administration, while the
county plan permits Of an efficiency In
administration in every direction which
can only be achieved through the use Of
the larger unit Of Jurisdiction.
Under the general property tax the
assessment Of property Is of prime i'm
p~ortance II equal Justice to all taxpayers
is TO be attained. BY dividing your
state into small tax district units you
cannot practically reach the desired re-
suit. The office Of town assessor Is OF
too little Importance In scope and pay
to warrant the Individual EFFORT which
il essential to produce fair and equitable
assessment.
Lack OF Uniformity.
Just as the assessors OF the re-
spective towns throughout a county vary
in the performance Of their official
duties SO do the assessments OF those
towns vary from the standard ixed by
law for the valuation Of property for tax
Hence there follows through
out the county "A startling lack or uni
formity in assessment work"
After detailing the extensive technical
knowledge needed by the New YORK as
SCISSOR MIR. SAKE continued:
And yet he Is elected because he Is
a good vote getter in his town or VII
lage or. as sometimes happens. no one
wants the job and the candidate has to
be drafted for the service. He holds or
fee for two years. unless he happens
to he favored with the four year term
which one Of the board Of three IL per-
mi,,ed to enjoy.
"As to compensation the tax law pro-
vides that he shall not receive more than
SO a day, except in certain counties and
in towns with a0sessment rolls OF NO.
900. 900 and upward. Hence II naturally
follows that our assessor IL usual" "a
good fellow. possessed OF more c|N"''ty
than the other kinds OF ability ret Tired
for the job. To retain his popularity he
must not incur the i'll will Of those who
vote in his district and he must pay
respectful attention to the town super
visor, who IL something akin to his po-
litical boss.

OUR NAVAL PROGRESS

( IN UBLIClTE has a strong
- effect upon the people
and the campaign OF
scurriity directed against Sec
retary Daniels met with head
way while the motive back of
that campaign was not under
stood.
Many people, irrespective Of
political faiths, had begun to
regard Secretary Daniels as a
failure. They did not know
that from the standpoint of the
navy's growth the facts are
lust the reverse of what the
critics, prompted by the armor
trust, have been complaining,
In the last three years not
only has adequate provision
been made for new ships of all
classes. from super-dread-
noughtS and battle cruisers to
submarines. but a continuing
program of construction in
stead of authorization year by
year has been adopted for the
first time. In Roosevelt's sec
ond term fifty-five ships were
authorized, costing $780,
938; in Taft's term, sixty-five
ships, costing $127,747,113. In
three years of the Wilson ad-
ministration the new construc-
ton authorized is 121 ships,
among them nine super-dread-
poughts and four battle cruis-
ers, and, including the three
year programme, 211 ships, u
total of $655,289,806.
The number of men enlisted
has increased, and the enlist
ment authorized has been rails
ed from $1,000 to $1,000. To
remedy the shortage of Off
GERS, where each congressman
had appointed one midshipman
to Annapolis he now has three
appointments, and the door has

ty-five enlisted men annually,
For the first time the navy
is equipped to manufacture its
own mines, and its supply has
been increased fourfold. 1t is
making its own torpedoes at a
saving of $1,000 each and has
increased the capacity of the
works over 400 per cent. BY

government manufacture of
powder it has reduced the cost
80 per cent and insured an
adequate supply, The devel-
opment of naval aeronautics
has at last been provided for
by congress. The mobilizinE
of industry through the raYGl
consulting board, of which
Thomas A. Edison is chairman
is a radical departure in the
national defense.
From the standpoint of the
munition makers the navy may
be badly managed but from
the standpoint of the coun-
try's interests all is we'll. We
have Admiral Dewey's word
for it and Admiral Dewey is a
good authority on the navy.
S-S-~~~O~~~s-~
Even though machinery does
most of the harvesting work
in eastern Oregon these days
there is still a shortage of la
borers; times are good when
there is so little unemploy-
ment.
Even local people seem more
anxious than usual to see the
Roundup this year; the coun-
try is getting hungry for some
real excitement.

because the consumer not the
shipper pays the freight. The
public viii not lose because
even if a slight rate advance
should be necessary the burden
would be as nothing compared
with the burden that would
follow in the wake of a strike.
There must be an ulteriOr
motive back of the desire for
a strike. What is that motive?
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1916-09-02
WHY DO THEY WANT
DISASTER?

q TRANCE as it may seem
- there are forces that re-
Z sent the settlement of the
strike trouble by the president
and congress. The. railroad
executives resent it. They
seem to want a strike. In
Portland yesterday some busi-
nessmen met to protest against
the legislation that has for its
purpose the prevention OF a
great industrial war.
What does this mean? Is it
possible there are sane men
who want to see the country
paralyzed by nationwide
railroad strike? Do they want
business and industry brought
to a standstill? Do they want
business houses brought to
bankruptcy and our uneGcelled
prosperity supplanted by mis-
cry and want? Do they want
TO expose the United States to
bloodshed and the possibility
Of internal war?
II is almost unbelievable yet
the facts show there is a feel
ing to this effect. There IS
going to be disappointment in
some quarters if a strike is
averted. At the same time
there is no chance for the rail-
roads to lose because if wages
are advanced the roads vii be
compensated. There is no
