ready deficit in tax receipts OF
100000 OF 1921, showing that
without a single increase the people
are unable TO pay the bill already
assessed against them.
Third, the budget makers found
that, under the existing laws there
we're many sums which had to be
included regardless OF their personal
opinions or judgment. For example
the budget had to provide for the
millage taxes for common schools
the high school tax to pay for the
tuition of pupils from districts
where no high school is maintained
to the districts whore these pupils
attend; and also the millage tax for
higher education. Also the budget
makers had to include the state tax
for state government and the gen
eral road and market road taxes.
When these items we're all in.

computed, there was not a wide
margin left upon which the budget
committee could use It's discretion
One of the most fragrant manda'
tory items, however, was that fol

year, and under the law must be

amount, so unjust is that statute.

TANEH AND INCOME

II has long been the theory OF
taxation that property values should
be the basis upon which the state
must depend TO arrive at the sum
the individual owner should contri.
butte as his or her share OF the cost
OF government.
OF late years. however, n new
theory has been advanced; which is
n variation OF the above rule; and
IN this; that n man should pay In
proportion to his ability that Is by
ascertainlng his income and taking
n proper percentage thereof
II is still a debatable question
whether the tax investigators are
more successful In securing an acL
curate statement OF the incomes OF
the rich that they were In locating
the property OF the wealthy.
In Malheur county, as In every
county. In every state In the Union,
there are wealthy men who never
have had an appreoiable percentage
OF their property on the tax rolls,
or II they were represented on the
roll II was at figures which were
but a percentage OF the true value.
AS a going business the average
county has two principal functions
which must be maintained; first 10
levy taxes, and second TO collect
them. In dodging both these func-
tions the wealthy citizen is able to
beat the game 80 often that the
burden OF government falls uneven
ly upon the less fortunate. As the
result. since the functions OF gov

VERSAILLES AND WASHINGTON

Two things stand out in con-
sideration OF the differences appar-
ent in the reception OF Secretary
Hughes disarmament program, and
the outline OF the League Of Nations
set forth at Versailles.
First and foremost, II - apparent
that what Secretary HuLdes propos-
ed has been maturely considered by
representatives, not OF the State de-
partment alone, but by tho naval ex-
perts and by the senatorial repre-
sentatlves who will be called upon,
II an agreement ls reached embody-
ing these proposals. to present the
treaty to the senate for confirma-
ton.
Then too. the Hughes proposals
are very definite. very specific

apparent antiquities.
hut the greatest difference IL
manifest In the temper OF minds OF
the people, shown by the reception
the proposals received.
This is due, in part 90 the differ
enee In time. and the difference in
place where the programs were pro-
posed.
The Versailles treaty was given

the battle ground OF the world war.
II was given at a time when the

acting to the horrors OF the conflict.
demanding retributlon from the
perpetrators OF the awful outrages
Echoes OF Lisle. Louvain, the
Somme and the Argonne were still
to be heard at the council chamber
In Versailles. The world was In no
mood for idealistic enterprises.
Today conditions are different.
Washington is far removed from the
battle fields OF Europe. The bur
dens OF war taxation, without the
stimulous OF patriotic feryour for
victory, press heavily upon the ma
tions. The cry for relief from the
people has been heard by the gov
ernments and they must be answer
ed. Secretary Hughes has outlined
tho hopes OF the world. He has
declared Americas position In no
uncertain terms. Leaders OF other
nations must reply In kind or ad-
init their inslneerity. Hughes has
won for America a great moral VIC
tory.
