Do We Want Bankruptcy?

The taxation question has become vital issue with every industry and individual in this nation.
 The gross amount of taxes which each person must pay to city, county state and nation having reached appalling figure Massachusetts, the eastern coast complaining while California on the west coast suffers from the same condition
 The Oregon Voter has compiled figures from the state tax commission in Oregon which are indeed startling Conditions worse in Oregon, however than in many other western states but to illustrate su- ation which must be met.
 The population of Marion County, Oregon, increased from 1910 to 1920 18 per cent Its assessed valuation increased 1O4 per cent The of it's taxes ncreas- ed 2 per cent the per capital tax increased 218 per cent, and the tax rate increased 255 per cent.
 During the period the state of Oregon increas- per in population 2 per cent assessed vaua- ton and taxes increased 244 per cent The per capita taxation increased 196 per cent and the average tax rate for the state increased 186 per cent.
 In 1911, the per cpita tax in Marion county was S11 29 In 1921 it is $35 95 increase of 218 per cent
 Taxes are three and half times the amount they were in 1911 when Marion county had as many people and 90 per cent much wealth as at sent.
 Marion county is than the majority of other counties in Oregon and Oregon is now worse than it's neghboring states The taxation mania must be crbed The people must voting measures which require the expenditure of hundreds of millions of dollars unless they expect to bankrupt themselves and their industries Public officials and state legislatures must be held ac countabe for exravagant expenditure of public funds
 The progressive increase in taxation which is out of all proportion wealth and population can lead to but one end, eventual bankruptcy of state and citizen

Electricity Exceeds Gold Value

The ualue of the electrical energy produced by hy- droelectric power plants in the mountain and Pacific states during 1920 greater than that of the gold duced in those states in the period, by two times according Alexander Vogelsang, former As sistant Secretary of the Interior
 The klowatt hour production by water prwer, by public utility plant in 1920. shown by the geological report Montana LIS GOO; Idaho 588 978 OoO Wyoming, 2271 00O Colorado, 184 647 000 New Mexico, 000 Arizona 1O6 527 OOO Utah. 21 243 000 Nevada 3269OO0O; Washington, 154 135 000 Oregon, 370867 900; California, 568 541 000 making total of 6340, 659OOO As is estimated that about 80 per cent of the developed water power in theses in pucc utility plants the total production of electrical energy from water pow CT would amount to about 1925, 900 kowatt hours At cent per kilowatt hour this production would have been worth $79 oO0 against the estimated gold production for the states during the per iods of $36, 900.
 When power production in these states is properly encouraged and fully developed the annual return from this will far exceed these figures. This value comes from the same mountains which produced gold, but unlike gold the streams which produce power will not become exhausted but will continue until the laws of nature are themselves repealed.
 The tremendous hydro electric power possibilities of the west it's greatest of wonderful in- dustrsl future

Mining And Potatoes

Mining in the West good deal like potatoes with the average meal it's benefits go unnotced until we have to do without them.
 If the western potato crop had been practically wp- ed out for year due to various every citizen would be interested in seeing adopted which would produce crop for the next season.
 While we cannot eat ore that is mined the work of producing this ore furnishes employment and the wherewith to buy potatoes.
 As the western mining industry has been practically closed during 1920 due to adverse market condton the of employment from which thousands of people formerly drew to buy potatoes has been wiped out
 As result every westerner should take deep in- terest in every measure which will encourage the mining industry.
 Western representatives in Congress favoring protective tariff various metals which must meet unlimited foreign competition.
 Copper lead, silver and gold the backbone of the western metal industry and must be encouraged and pro- tected to the fullest extent.

From Bad To Worse

The two miners had never seen golf played before. They stood watching a fat, unskillful player at work in a bunker. The sand flew up, but the ball remained. Seven agonizing shots had been played. The player stopped for breath, and then made his eighth attempt. The ball was lobbed up, drop ped on the green, and rolling gently to the pin, settled in the hole.
 tBagum, BilI," said one miner to the other, "he's got a devil of a job on now. " London Weekly Telegraph

Banking Progress

There has been great change in banking methods in the past ten years.
 People today recognize merit in bank not simply because it has been corner for fifty hundred years but account of progressive business methods which meet the needs of the community.
 Banks loan money today business not favor to privileged few It is the volume of small loans and small deposits which have made possible the growth of the American banking system. Keeping close to h e people is of in present-day bank ing. Banking properity depends upon commu- nty prosperity It for this reason that modern banks identify themselves with and take deep interest in ndust rial development.

Why Get All Farms Mortgaged?

There is great deal of loose talk and careless aglta ton to the effect that the farmers not properly nan sed.
 This agitation calls for state and federal farm loans-schemes encourage the farmers to put mort Qages on their lands and homes.
 Why not agitation to encourage the farmers to not go into debt and not put mortgage pasters their homes or cucumber themselves with interest?
 Legitimate farm loans made by farm mort gage banks very low rates fast and as often as quired?
 The socalistc interests seem not to be happy unless every farm is covered with mortgages to the state and tonal loan agencies
 All this will result in state and federal ownership of farms instead of thrifty, sturdy class of farmers who own their homes

Bitter Fight
Over Tax Bill
Is Threatened
tcsatInusa from sage snn

Of s300,000 900 in vevenue and the plan
to exempt was dropped.
The House will consider the confer
ence report first. Chairman Fordney
of the Ways and Means Committee will
submit it on Monday, and it is expected
to be voted on Tuesday.
In the Senate Senator La Toilette
will move. to recomn1it the conference
report, and Senators opposed to the
bill said there would be a long dis
cussion.
One Of the possibilities is that the
elimination Of the Senate taxes on
liquors will arouse the temperance
forces, and they will use their influence
to get the bill recommitted.
Members of the Senate agricultural
"bloc" are displeased with the report.
because the Senate conferees yielded
on some of the propositions on which
the "bloc" insisted. Cutting of the cor
poration income tax from Is per cent.
the Senate figure, to 1914 per cent, the
House figure, is objectionable to the
"bloc."
Senator Smoot is the foremost adj
vocate of the sales tax. He said he
would make a study of the bill and
then come to a conclusion whether he
would persist in refusing to sign.
II want to determine whether this
bill is any better than the existing
New-York tribune., 1921-11-20

law" said Senator Smoot. "ff I e.
clude it is not, shall not sign
One of the things | want to deternf
is the amount Of revenue it viii pro-
duce.''
Senator Smoot declared he was dis
satisfied with the whole fabric OF the
bill and that, as a matter Of fact, none
Of the conferees was satisfied.
The charge was made against the
report this afternoon that it would rot
raise adequate revenue. The reduction
of the corporation income tax 21z per
cent will cut off about 100000, 900. but
this is partly made up in other direc-
tions. The elimination| OF the Senate
tax on spirits. wine and beer cuts off
about S19.000,000
Senator Simmons, ranking Demo-
cratic member of the Finance Com
mittee and former chairman. declared
that whereas it was at first estimated
the< bill would produce S3,250, 900. 900
it would actually produce. in his opin-
ion, only about So 200, 900. 900. He pre-
diets that, in view of the cutting off of
revenue in the bill by reason of the
changes made and in view of deficiency
appropriations which are being called
for by some departments and agencies
of the government, the Treasury will
face huge deficit at the end of the
