Assignment of an eagle boat to the
District Naval Reserves for a train
ing ship is a certainty. 1t was learned
at the Navy Department. Secretary
DENLY. it appears, is anxious for
one Of these vessels to be assigned
here, and it was said at his office
last week that he would get around
to the matter in a short time.
1t will be a few weeks. 1t was
said, but that one of the vessels
would be ordered directly to Wash
ington from the Portsmouth navy
yard. where number of them now
are being held in reserve.
Officers in charge of the local re-
serve forces have done everything
possible to hurry up the assignment
of a vessel here, but 1t has been held
up in some sources. Efforts are be-
ing made to overcome these obstacles,
and 1t is believed that they will be
successful in view Of the expressed
determination to place one of the
ships here for training.
A number of these vessels now are
being held in reserve, and it is the
opinion at the Navy Department that
they can be kept in better condition
for active service by assigning them
to reserve organizations, where they
Will be in constant use for training

THE MOUNTING TAXES

From all over the state OF oregon,
and its neighboring state OF Idaho,
there is being sounded a demand for
reduction I'm taxation And II is ap-
parent that there is a reason Taxes
are mounting.
The trouble here in ontario, how
ever. can be laid directly at the door
OF the people The increase in state
taxes are to be found directly in the
measures approved by the people;
Furthermore we believe that they
would approve Of the laws they pass
ed we're they submitted to them now,
so there is nothing to he gained by
belated protestations.
What oregon needs and needs
badly is the election OF assessors
who will place values on property
where they should be. II is foolish
to talk about high taxation when in
fact the valuation OF Oregon proper
ty has so slightly increased during
the past ten years, as revealed by the
tax rolls.
Il is useless to discuss the question
OF taxes until we have some system
OF securing the enforcement OF the
law by the assessors. Oregon's pop
ulatlon has increased greatly, and
the demands OF the people for all
kinds OF frills In government have
Of necessity increased the cost OF
government.
Here in Ontario. so we are told,
there are homes valued at from
$4,000 to $4,000 on the tax rolls at
anywhere from 5000 to $500. Since
practically all OF the residence pro-
perty IL assessed on that basis no
gross injustice IL done, but that be-
ing true. tho the levy Ia high, the
charge can hardly be sustained that
the tax paid IL excessive. II only
seems so.
Had the valuation placed by the
assessors kept pace with the increase
In values Il would not have been
necessary for the people to vote ad-
dltional millage leyies for the uni
verslty and agricultural college. II
ls thus that the studied efforts OF
citizens to keep their valuations
down have been defeated, After all
the mounting taxes rests with the In
diyldual taxpayer.

FARMER-TO-MIDDLEMAN-To-CoN-
SINNER


The recent visit of Herbert Hoover
to Kansas, following the recent visit
Of Mr. Baruch, is an encouraging
fact. It is encouraging because IT
indicates that some of the best brains
of the country are concentrating on
the problem of the distribution of
farm products. This is one OF the
great problems OF the present day.
There is too wide a gap between
the farmer and the consumer, be-
tween the price the farmer receives
and the price the consumers pay.
We do not attempt to say what IT
is that is amiss We do not know.
In fact, no one appears to know.
The farmer does not know. He only
knows that. Notwithstanding the in
creased price he has received dur
ing the past few years, his profits
have been small, and now that he
seems TO be facing a decrease In
prices for his stuff, he will suffer
serious loss II not financial ruin.
The consumer does not know. He
only knows that he has been paying
price for food products so much
greater than he paid under normal
conditions as to arouse the belief
that the farmer must have been
made rich beyond the dreams Of
avarice. The consumer, not knowing
where to place the blame, has plac-
ed Il upon the producer The farmer,
not knowing where TO place the
blame. has Jumped II bodily and In
discriminatory upon what he terms
the middleman, but with no specific
or. apparently intelligent idea az to
what he means by "the middleman".
The situation Is In muddle.
The problem will not be solved
by shooting blindly into a mussed up
condition discriminating oratory on
the one hand and seeking to pass
the buck" on the o'her, will not help
the farmer or the consumer. II will
not reveal the point we have missed
nor discover the cog that Ia loose
In our Industrial organization. II
will require the intelligent apph-
cation OF the best business minds OF
the country 10 work out plans TO
correct the evil and close up the
gap between the farmer and the
producer without doing injury 10
either. The interests OF the farmer
and the consumer are identical, II
both classes are to enjoy prosper

receive a fair profit, Tho consumer
must pay only fair price. II APP
