Mr.. Pierce Finds
Many Pie Hunters

~ have $50 applications for jobs
and there are only about five jobs
with pay worth while that I have at
my disposal, for most of the positions
are under control of the state board
of control Of which l am only a
member" said Walter M. Pierce gov
.ernor-elect,
II have rs applications for appoint
ment on the highway commission,
continued Mr.. Pierce, "but give you
my solemn word that do not know
today who the highway commissioners
will be. have many applications
for one of the appointments ! have to
give, but the man / have in mind for
the place has not asked for it, nor
does he even suspect am thinking of
him. had more than dozen earnes+
applications for private secretary,
and the boy l selected had not asked
for the place.
"Four years ago / really wanted to
be governor. Now I am not so keen
about it. There are some big prob
lens to meet and ! am going to try
to solve them. My election was just
luck. I was standing in the right
place when the lightning hit me.
Something must be done to save
Oregon or the whole state will be on
its back, like Astoria. / intend CIV
ing some of my ideas in my inaugural
message. It contains lot of dyna-
mite. Yes, will talk of commissions,
for threading the messages Of the late
Governor Withycombe and Governor
Olcott / see they talked of commits
sions and SO will follow their ex-
ample"
Discussing the highway situation,
which played prominent part in
his speeches toward the end Of the
campaign, Mr.. Pierce says that "the
programme must continue; the gaps
must be built and the pavement must
be kept up. Yet where is the money
for these things to come from?
don't like bonds. Where is the money
we must have to meet the federal CO.
operation? Can the gasoline tax be
raised?
Ill tip this much from my mes
sage-I want the " mill state road
tax retained and not diverted.
want the market road law continued,
for the market roads are to be needed
in the future more than ever"
Mr.. Pierce is a firm believer in a
paid highway commission and says he
will recommend salaried commission
ers, to be appointed by the governor,
in his message. The amount of the
salary he will leave for the judgment
of the legislature to designate, but
he says that he believes the laborer
is worthy of his hire, and he will see
that the paid commissioners work. Re-
ports from Seattle and other places
that engineers are being sounded out
in behalf of Mr.. Pierce to see if they
will consider being the state highway
engineer for Oregon, the governor
elect stamped as utterly without
foundation insofar as he is concerned.
Mr.. Pierce does not want the COM
pensation act damaged, and SO says,
plainly, although he is aware that
assaults are being planned on it.

Cut Farm Tax
20 per Cent, Plan

4 l. 70 4 u aN
AS an aid in relieving the burden
of the farmer, the state tax investiga-
tion committee at its closing session
Monday at Portland, adopted res
oiution urging that farm lands and
improvements thereon be. assessed at
rate not to exceed 80 per cent Of
that borne.
The committee, which was appoint
ed under a legislative act Of 1919 to
investigate the state tax system and
if possible find new sources Of rev
enue, completed its work at the meet
ing Monday. All that remains is to
submit its report with recommenda-
tions for transmission to the coming
session of the legislature.
About the only new source Of rev
enue found was the tax on personal
incomes. A bill will be drawn up
which will provide that all residents
Of Oregon shall pay a certain per cent
upon their incomes above certain ex-
emptions. The rate Of the tax is to
be on the flat basis instead of q
graduated one. The conclusion Of the
committee on this item was not un-
animous. Governor-elect Pierce a
member Of the committee, advocated
graduated scale.
AS means Of reducing the tax
burden the committee will recommend
a radical change in the assessment
laws, centralizing the assessing power
in the state tax commission. The
state tax commission is to be given
authority over county assessors in
the matter of securing uniform
assessments and determining values,
An ultimate development is to be
the taking Of the Office Of assessor
from the ballot and making 1t an
appointiye one based on. merit.
It is also proposed in the recon-
mendations of the committee to have
q survey and classification Of lands
made and cruise of timber for as
sessment purposes.
Another Recommendation is strict f.
nancial supervision of the expenditure
of public funds. A statistical depart.
ment is to be created in the Office o.
secretary of state, which will have
Jurisdiction over all tax subdivisions
of the state, including school and
road districts. The tax supervising
and conservation commission now in
vogue in Multnomah county Is to
have its counterpart in every county
sof the state. Counties win be re-
quired to have a uniform system Of
acccuntancy and provision is to be
made to see that after a-county bud
get is adopted it is lived up to.
D In the matter of taxing natural re-
sosrces the committee will recon-
mehd that no severance tax be Inn
posed on lumber, taking the view that
ut would be a handicap on the lumber
industry in competing markets. This
recommendation Of the committee was
voted against by Governor-elect
Pierce, who is in favor Of a severance
tax and will probably so recommend
in his message to the legislature.
