Definition Given for
''Head Of a Family"

A statement issued today by Col
lector of Internal Revenue, Milton
A. Miller. defines the exact meaning
of the designation head of fam
ily," such person being allowed the
100000 exemption granted a mar
ried person in the filing of an in
come tax return.
"a head Of family" said Collec-
tor Miller, "is a person who actually
supports in one household one or
more persons closely connected with
him by blood relationship, relation
ship by marriage or by adoption.
Whether in the absence of continu-
Gus residence with his dependents, a
person is the head of family, de-
pends upon the character of the sepa-
ration. II the benefactor is absent
on business or on account of military
or naval service, or child or other
dependent is absent temporarily at
school or on visit, the common

home being maintained, the exemp
tion Of 100000 applies. II, however
the dependent continuously makes
his home elsewhere, the benefactor,
irrespective of the question Of sup
port, is not the head OF family.
In the case of man and wife, the
joint exemption of 100000 all
lowed a married couple replaces the
exemption allowed each only II they
live together. Unavoidable absence
of wife or husband at sanatorium
or asylum on account of illness does
not preclude claiming the exemption.
II, however, the husband continu-
ously and voluntarily makes his
home at one place and the wife al

States Bonded Debt
r. =. is Sixty Million

| oregoh's bonded indebtedness,
which includes the obligations OF the
state, counties, cities, school, reclaim
atiop and port districts, amounts now
tosiapproximately $60,OOO,OOO with
prospects Of the total running to
Ss0sOo0,O00 by the end Of this year.
The aggregate is larger probably
than the average property owner and
taxpayer has believed to be possible, !,
Three years ago the total bonded
Indebtedness of Oregon communi-
ties was about $54,O00,OOO, Since
then the amount of municipal bonds
outstanding for street and other i'm
provements benefiting abutting
property has been substantially de-
creased without the issuance OF new
bonds OF this class but the total of
general obligation bonds outstanding
has been increased by the issuance
of several million dollars of state
and highway, port improvement and
irrigation district construction Sc
curities.
The annual interest charges on the |
total OF public bonds now outstand-
ing amount to about $4,000, 900 and
requirements for sinking funds are
for total fully as large, so that
approximately one-tenth of the peo-
pies bonded Indebtedness must be
raised by taxation each year. The
same rules will apply generally If
the bond debt grows to 500, 200, 900
by the end OF 1919.
Next June the people will have
opportunity to vote on the proposal
that the state issue bonds for ST.
100000 for the Roosevelt coast line
highway, $4,000, 900 for the needs of
state institutions and state land de-
Gelopment projects, and probably $3,-
100000 for school building in Port
and.
The total of taxable property in
Oregon is less than $1,000, ,OOO, 900 ,
Ind the aggregate of bonded indebt-
'dness Of the state and its municipal ,
is now more than 6 per

learly 10 per cent before the end Of ,

NEED FOR EQUAHZING
VALUES OF GRADED LANDS

In the course of a discussion Of
the subject of assessed valuations OF
graded lands in Siskiyou county al
Mondays meeting of the board OF
supervisors, County Assessor Stuart
Tay Tor presented some interesting
and significant figures.
In 1912 the improvements in the
county were assessed at s2,361, ,230;
in 1918 the figures were s2,719,74O:
an increase during the intervening
period of s35S,51O.
Personal property valuations were
as follows: 1912, $2,774,135; 1918,
s3,356,74O; increase, $5S2,6O5.
Real estate valuations were as fol-
lows: 1912, s12,212,990; 1918, $11.
7S2,415; decrease, $430,535.
The total assessed valuation Of
property in the county in 1912 was
$17,450,6S5; in 1918, $17,919,6 sos;
an increase of $46S,920, or 2.63 per
cent
In striking contrast to the forego
ing figures the tax rate in 1912 was
$3.50 on each s100 of assessed val
uation; in 1918 1t jumped to s2.33,
an increase of SO cents of 55 per
cent.
1t is evident from these figures
that radical change in realty as
is necessary, especially in
regard to timber lands and graded
ands in general; thus bringing the
assessed valuations of realty to more
iearly a basis of equality with the
valuations of other proper
~. This is believed to be necessary

he cost of maintaining schools and

off i'll car orders after the middle of the year was duly reflected in the decline of business until at the end of 1910 the probabilities of 1911 were clearly fore shadowed
 The decline in general business to- gether with the falling off of railway purchases, continued throughout almost the entire year of 1911, but at its close buying movement on the part of the railways set in. The total number of cars ordered for the year was 135,7 ,740e nearly 30ro of which were placed at the very end of the year, and necessarily car ried forward into 1912
 "We reached high point ill railway purchases about May, 1912, continuing with normal purchases for most of the
 remainder of the year, again reaching high point at the very end of the last quarter, the total car purchases being 230,400, the largest number in any year since lo06 It is here significant to note
 hat the foregoing conditions in railway purchases were followed by phenom- enal revival of general business during the last half of 1912; this too in the face of national election fraught with more uncertainties as to its outcome than any we had had for years. Busi- ness seemed to ignore these conditions, however, while the heavy purchases made by the railways filled the steel mills of the country with orders toward the close of the year, so overtaxing their capacity as to compel buyers to antici- pate deliveries by orders placed four, six, and even nine months in advance of shipping date-a condition thereto fore unprecedented, while general busi- ness assumed almost the aspect of a boom V
 Railway purchases sharply declined in 1913 to very low level foreshadowing the memorable depression of 1914; but inc European War resulting in tremen- dous war buying, supplanted railway buying and brought the country in 1915 and 1916 to a high point of business prosperity. {.
 "This controlling current, issuing forth from the railways, proceeds first to the great car-building plants; thence on to the iron and steel plants and to the very large number of railway supply industries By the latter 1t is again directed toward the iron and steel and other industries-thencc in turn inhuene~ ing highly increased number of other and contributory industries, until this in-, Aucnce has reached or set in motion the entire industrial machinery, while at every turn and in every direction it has furnished employment to labor. Pros pcrity and employment are synonymous terms, as conversely are stagnation and unemployment.
 Adequate railway revenues are essen- tiaI to adequate railway purchases; ade1 quatc railway purchases arc fundamen- tally essential to general business pros pcrity; general business prosperity means the prosperity and well being of the entire nation.'
