PROTEST AGAINST REPEAL OF
BODYBUILDING TAX EXEMP-
TION ACT

A Camden man writes as follows in
a recent issue of the Camden Post
Telegram:
Picking up a Jersey City newspaper
the other day, 1 read that President
George ". Cole, of the Board of Edu-
cation of Pensauken Township, has
written to Assemblyman Todd, of Ber-
gen County, the introducer of the bill
to repeal the new dwelling tax exemp-
ton law of 1920, advising him not to
be misled by the protests that are com
ing to him from Camden County
against repeating this Act, which was
passed by a Republican Legislature
and accepted in good faith by the peo-
pie. This newspaper quotes Mr.. Cole
as writing as follows: "a great many
of the new homes that are being built
are fine, expensive homes, the owners
of which are far more able to pay the
taxes than many of the owners of
modest homes, who are paying for
them through building and loan asso-
Citations"
Aside from the obvious fact that
every new dwelling erected, whatever
its cost, helps to relieve the shortage
of houses and an expensive house
means a greater expenditure for ma
terial and labor, thereby improving in
dustrial conditions, one has but to look
about the suburban and rural districts
of Camden County to see hundreds of
bungalows and other modest homes
built since the tax exemption law was
passed, their owners being encouraged
to build by this guarantee of a five
year exemption, and borrowing o
on building and loan shares to build.
Mr.. Cole would have the States cove
nant with these home owners repu-
dated.
The builders he refers to, who built
before the exemption law was passed,
did not have to pay as much for ma
t~erials and labor as the later builders
and they have the benefit of the war
time increase in property values,
which in some cases, as City Counsel
Bleakly says, amounts to 40 or so
per cent.
What do the home builders since the
passage of the Runyon Act of 1920
think of this proposed bunco game of
allowing them an exemption, have
them figure out just how they can af-
ford to own a home by having their
tax on the building (not on the land
or personal property RENTED for five
years, and then another Republican
Legislature repudiate the contract?
1t may be that the state can do no
wrong" but to take this exemption
away from the home builders when
they have built upon it in their simple
faith that the Legislature meant what
it said when it offered them a conces-
sion to build and help relieve the
housing shortage, although they had
to pay a great deal more for labor and

INCOME TAX FACTS

Farmers, grangers, herders, dairy
men, truck gardeners, vineyard and
orchard owners, and other food pro-
ducers must compute their net and
gross incomes for 1921 and ascertain
whether an income tax return or a tax,
or both are due. All gains, profits,
and income derived from the sale or
exchange of farm products, whether
produced on the farm or purchased
and resold, must be included in gross
income. When a farmer exchanges his
products for groceries, clothing, or
other merchandise, the fair market
value of such goods must be included.
Profit received from the sale of farm
land, or rem received for the use
thereof, must be included.
In determining income, upon which
the tax is assessed, the farmer may
deduct from gross income all neces-
sary expenses incurred in the oper-
alton of his farm during the year 1921.
These include cost of cultivation, har-
yesting, and marketing of his crops,
cost Of feed and fertilizer used, amount
opCAI III ICpdllO " ldl III DullulDSo
(other than the dwelling) and to
fences and machinery. Wages paid to
farm hands are deductible, but not
wages paid to a domestic servant,
which is a personal expense.
AS an aid to farmers, the Bureau of
Internal Revenue has prepared a spe-
cial form, 1040F, for recording sales of
livestock, produce and a summary
which must be attached to the individ-
ual return of income and expenses.
An unmarried or widowed farmer or
n living apart from his wife must
file an individual return for 1921 if
his net income for 1921 was $1,000
or more, or if his gross income was
SIS 5000 or more. If married and living
with his wife on December 81, 1921, a
return must be filed if his net income
was $4,000 or more, or if his gross in
come was S 5000 or more.

BY Way of Introduction

With economists, the world over, ringing
the changes i'm discussion on the vital ques-
tiOns of the high cost OF living, the building
world has witnessed the cheerful spectacle
OF building costs very materially reduced.
BiShOpric is a modern development of
time tested practice in building cOnstruc-
ton. 1t combines, in integral units, the adj
~terialS, and it has many additional advan-
tages peculiar to itself.
BiShOpric is the best and at the same time
the least costly building material for StuccO
exterior over new or old buildings. 1t is the
best and at the same time the least costly
insulating sheathing for frame or brick
veneer buildings. As an insulating, strength
ening, sOund-deadening, mOisture-p proof and
fire-resistant base for plaster on interior
walls and ceilings; for Sub-flOOring and as a
base for shingles or roofing, BishOpric is in
a class by itself.
BishOpric provides a building that is
warmer i'm winter and cooler in summer
than other forms OF construction. 1t in
SureS a building that is absolutely dry, ver-
min proof and healthy.
Thousands OF the most beautiful struct-
ures i'm North America, South America and
all other countries throughout the world
have been built of BishOpric. The best
architects specify it; the best builders use il.

The County Unit Plan.

In a brief summary the out stand
ing features Of the Oregtn County
Unit law are:
/. lhe division c. the school popu-
lation into three classes, the city dis
trict wit hover 1000 schcl children;
the town schoo. district with between
500 and 1000 children aid the county
district which is the consolidation of
all the other district in the county
Each of these district have five
directors and conduct their school in
their own way, separately and inde-
pendently of each other. 'ln this
county where there are 10 towns with
over 500 school children, the entire
county would be in one district, with
five directors elected at large who
would have complete control over the
affairs of all the schools in the coun-
ty." The rural schol superintendent
and all the teachers Of the county
will be selected by this board OF five.
The present system of schol boards
for each district will be retained
only in an advisory capacity.
2. Taxation. The funds for school
purposes will be raised by blanket
tax on the properly of each district,
each for itself The city with 1000 or
more pupils will ccntirue TO raise its
money and use it at the discretion OF
it's board. The town and county dis
trict will do the same.
Crook county is the first OF the
counties of Oregon to adopt the coun-
~ Unit pan OF rural school admins
,-ation. There. as it would be in Lin
coin, every district would be in the
consolidated county school division.
On September 9th the voters OF
Crook county adopted the plan by 2

a.ely appointed one director from the

HERO" STUNT COMES
NEAR WRECKING TRAIN
WEDNESDAY EVENING
RaIph Lunt of Corvallis Ties
Heavy Irons to Rails and Then
Flags Train; Boy Is II Years
Old.

Ralph Lunt, II years old. of Cor
wallis. attempted a Hero" stunt
last Saturday afternoon when he
placed heavy iron over the track
of the Southern Pacific train
bound for Toledo from Corvallis
and wired it down and then piled
rocks over the obstruction. Ac-
cording to the boys confession, he
then placed a red flag some 60 feet
between the obseruction and the
on-coming train. When the train
came in hearing distance he at
tempted to make big showing by
frantically endeavoring to clear
the track of the obstruction.
According to Deputy Sheriff Nc
Elwain the stunt was performed al
the most dangerous spot on the entire
line and it was only by chance thai
the engineer noticed the flag and ever
theen the train was brought to haul
barely in time to keep from hitting
the iron on the track. The lad claim
ed when questioned that he had found
the obstruction and had placed the flag
to warn the engineer and had end ,avol
ed to clear the track.
Mr.. McElwain was suspicious OF tn.
boy's actions and induced him to con
fess. He pleaded guilty in justice
court Wednesday. Owing to the boys
miner years the case was turned ovel
to the juvenile court.

entertainment is necessary at fair
and several excellent shows are on the
grounds, operating afternoon and even
ing for the benefit of the visitors.
There is nothing lacking whatever in
shows in concessions to make the fair
n grand celebration.
The dog and pony show is causing
great excitement among the kiddies
and those who have had the pleasure
to attend say it is an excellent enter
