IL is pointed out for instance, that
there are many men in Portland anu
elsewhere throughout the state who
own no real estate, or other property
taxable, but who, nevertheless, have
large incomes from their business
profession or from their invisible in
vestments. Again 1t is pointed out
that business tirW may have stock on
hand assessed at -1,0O0,0O0 at the t,nl.
of assessment upon which amount
alone taxes viii be levied, while in fact
the business will have on hand and
turn over many times that Rnount
during the course OF tho year upon
which there will be no assessment or
levy.
1t Is contendod that these two
sources of income, not now taxed so far
as the state is concerned In all proba-
bility would alone double or more than
double the tax basis OF the state and
thus lift the present heavy tax bur
den borne by real property, now charg-
ed with more than 20 per cent Of the
entire governmental expense.
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1920-12-23

1t is not expected however that the
commission will recommend that the
coming session Of the legislature put
into statute form the various recon-
mendations made. 1t is Contended thai
the subject is too big for hasty action,
and that basic data necessary for the
enactment OF fair and equitable legls-
latlon is not now available According
ly. it Will be recommended that the
Legislature provide for the appointment
Of a commission by the governor in
vested with adequate power and equip
ment to make an exhaustive inVestiga-
tlon into the problem and recommend
to the 1928 session of the legislature
such legislation and in such form as
information compiled would dictate.
Under the existing system in the
state real property bears the brunt of
governmental charges and there is no
information available covering individ-
ual incomes or business earnings in
general which would give any idea a.
to the aggregate taxable basis that
would be formed by them.

PRICES NOT LIKELY TO
co DOWN THIS YEAR
(By United Press )

WASHINGTON, June 26.-There is
little prospect of a decline in food and
clothing prices this year, increased
exports may actually cause an ad-
vance. Royal Meeker, commissioner of
labor statistics, said today. There can
be no decline in prices until there is
a decrease of the currency in circula-
ton or an increase in the goods ex-
changed for currency, Meeker sdid.
Currency is being deflated slowly
with the liquidation of debts but this
can scarcely affect the prices this
year. There is also no possibility of
any increase in the quantities of the
vital necessities of life which are be-
ing produced this season and pros
poets that food and cotton crops are
below normal.
'Tnasmuch as the food budget con-
stitutes about forty per cent of the
entire budget of the average family
there can scarcely be any appreciable
lowering in the level of prices until
the cost of food comes down." said
Meeker.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 26.--As the
zero hours approaches signs multiply
that administration leaders are going
to have real Fighter several of
them--in their effort to retain control
of the democratic national convention.
So far Bryan has been successful in
masking his operations. Ostensibly, his
main objective Is wet or dry issue in
which the administration is not great
ly concerned. Regarding the league
OF nations. which the president con-
siders the vital question. the COM
moner is carefully concealing his hand
By emphasizing his determination to
get a dry plank in the platform at all
costs. he has apparently sought to give
the impression to his newspaper audi
cnce that the league. as well as other
issues on which he has Is at variance
with the administration are of minor
Importance whehefore administra-
tion folk have become exceedingly
wary and are watching intently for the
first indication of a Bryan assault In
force on the league plank of the Vir-
ginia platform which will be the basis
of the administration plank in the ma
tional platform.
