This organi- zation is speaking for the farmers of the state and started in to secure a 25 per cent reduction in the assessment of farm property. As a part of their campaign they have been active in bringing pressure to bear upon public officials and especially upon school boards and school officials to make every effort to reduce expenditures and thereby make it possible to reduce taxation. Speaking for the farmers, their efforts along the line lof economy have met with a hearty response and their educational campaign has been quite effective. The constitution of the state rro vides that all property, shall bo asof sessed equally. Closer analyses the actual assessment on farm property, which in the main represents only a fraction of the assessed valuation of the stnte, show that it is now assessed far below full value. The demand is being made in Oregon, that farm properly be assessed at only 50 per cent of its cash value, hile all other property is to be as sessed 100 eents on the dollar as the a laws in some states require. As full matter of practical experience, tax taws are dead letters value in every state having them. Like other property such as livestock, orfull chards, and timber land, their and cash vtauo is very varivalue, able, depending upon the market demand. In Utah, as in some other states, an effort will be made to enact and secure the adoption in the legislature or by direct vote of the people ' of "hat is known ns a graduated income tax.
