In order to give them plenty of time
to choose my successor.
With your permission, 7 VIII state
through your valued columns, that !
do not expect to stand for reelection.
/ came into the office at the age Of
thirty four. and will pass out at fifty
two. The constant support which a
majority OF the voters Of the county
have accorded me has been n source
OF inspiration and satisfaction for
which | am deeply grateful. And
were II not for the fact that the ma
ture of this work confines the incum-
bent so closely to the office, ! would
give the county the option of return
ing me further because of such IN
formation az may have come to me-
and which have learned at the
county's expense. concerning the de-
scriptions. records and value of Una
tilla county property during my long
tenure of scrvice--a longer one, ] be-
Heve, than any other Oregon assessor
has ever served. But since the work
of the office tends to increase. | see no
means of escaping the confinement
incident to It, without risk of neglect

Therefore my decision 10 seek some
other employment that will afford

NEW YORK, Feb. Ezra a.
Vanderlip, who first called att tr1'I n

nine mcnths ago. declared in a state
ment to the United Press today, that
the foreign exchange situation can be
righted and Europe can be put on her
feet only If Europeans will go back to
work. But Europe can only do this.
he said if America will supply her with
food and raw materials. The former
head Of abe famous National City Bank
OF New York added that America can
easily undertake the work of rehabi-
litation.
Must Buy Food. Materials
He said: "A billion dollars will 60
a long way in starting Europe on the

On any financial rehabilitation.
THE present situation was evident
a year ago." continued Vanderlip. but
people who made the treaty paid no
attention to economic data. They did
not understand the complicated the
ory of modern industry. They had
not taken consideration of the fact
that the population of Europe under
the influence of an Industrial age had
grown into far greater numbers than
Europes field can feed.
But. with it all. W., can save Eur

extravaganza, comprehend the serious

time for US to help our neighbors.
Then we shall have the world at

N-RES|DENTSPLEA
TO RENT Commission
Owner of D. G. Property inquiries
How Either to Increase Rents
or Get Possession.

Some Of the troubles of nonresident
property owners were illustrated in an
inquiry received by the District rent
commission today, when a resident of
Maryland owning property in Wash
tngton asked how he should proceed
either to Increase the rent of one of the
properties or to obtain possession Of 1t
for his own use.
The taxes on the property in ques-
tton, according to the owner, who dis
played his tax bill, are $40 q year.
But the property is rented for only
1920 year. leaving deficit Of $40,
to say nothing of interest on invest
ment, upkeep, etc.
Statement to COmmlssion.
In his statement to the rent commits
sion the owner Of the property said he
was willing to take possession and
move to Washington and occupy the
premises, because the shortage of farm
labor Is such as to make it impossible
for him to operate his farm in Mary
land. However, If the rent commission
should not see f1t to grant him possess
sion. he was willing, he said, to con-
tinue to rent the property provided he
might be permitted to increase the pres
ent rent Of SO month to $25 a month.
He WAS advised as to the method of
procedure in possession cases.
Preparatory to leaving the city on
summer vacations occupants Of apart
ments are beginning to file petitions
with the rent commission for permits
sion to suitcase their apartments fur
nished for the summer. and asking
the commission to approve rents
deemed proper by the tenants. Miss
