THE MORNING OREGON! A'N, FRIDAY, MAY"' 8, 1903. EDDlf BILL IN FAVOR Undoubtedly Has the Support of the People. CARE TAKEN IN ITS FRAMING Perfage Railroad Bill Is Also a Pop vlar Measure Governor Believes JKUtake Was Made in Passage ef Exemption Heaisre, SALBJI.- Or.,' May 7. (Special.) I the desire of the people, of this section of the state is fairly representative of the opin ion of the people of the rest of the state, there can be no doubt of the outcome of a reference of the Eddy corporation tax bill. That bill was passed in response to a de mand that came from every part of Ore gon. Such a measure had been twice urg ently recommended by Secretary of State Dunbar and had been advocated by Gov ernor Geer and Governor Chamberlain. The press of the state, voicing the wishes of thp people, demanded that Oregon re main no longer in the list of states that grant corporations special privileges with out exacting compensation. The Eddy bill was framed by one of the ablest and most conscientious members of the Legislature, acting in conjunction with Secretary of State Dunbar, who had given the subject exhaustive study. The bill was considered and modified by one of the strongest committees on assessment and taxation that Oregon has ever known. It passed both houses by an almost unani mous vote. Instead of being passed as a part of a "deal," as has been falsely Insinuated, it was enacted solely with a view to meeting the wishes of the people. While the measure is not perfect, and has not been claimed as such, it is recog nized by all Impartial men as a move in the right direction. When the people have an opportunity to be heard they will over 'whelmlngly indorse the course of the Leg islature in this regard. From present In dications they will go farther and demand the enactment of some such measure as the Harris bill, which was also framed upon the plan of similar laws in other states. The attempt of mining corpora tions to defeat the Eddy bill has only made the people more determined that the tax shall be Imposed. Upon the merits of the portar,e railroad bill there has been less discussion. That measure was also passed in response to a popular demand voiced y all the lead ing papers of the state. It was passed for the sole purpose of promoting the com mercial and industrial interests of the state, and unless it appears in the dis cussion of the question that the Judgment of the press of the state was In error, this act also will be Indorsed by the people. When Governor Chamberlain was asked recently for his impression of the wishes of the people regarding the acts of the last Legislature, he replied that his con versation with people from different parts of the state leads him to, believe that there is no popular demand for submis sion of any act, except perhaps the bill repealing the tax-exemption law. Gov ernor Chamberlain says he believes that If all the acts under discussion should be submitted Jto the people, all would be In dorsed except the repeal of the exemption law. This latter act. he believes, was a mistake. He did not understand Its im port when lie signed It, and ho thinks the Legislature did not understand it when they passed it. BAKER .OPIXIOX VARIES. " Result of Vote on Corporation Tax BUI Doubtful. BAKER CITY, Or.. May 7. (Special!) An effort to ascertain the opinion of rep resentative citizens here this evening In regard to the referendum on the Eddy corporation tax law and the portage rail road bill developed the fact that there is a wonderful amount of indifference and want of information on the subject. Many leading citizens declined to express an opinion pro or con, because they had not read either law, and did not know their scope; -therefore they had no opinion to express. Some who found, themselves In this pre dicament confessed that they had signed the referendum petitions. Others had opinions, and very pronounced opinions at that, but, for business and professional reasons, declined to talk for publication. S. A. Hellner, president of the Hellner Commercial Company, said he was decid edly In favor of the referendum on the Eddjy law. He thinks it a poor law, and very much against the mining interest. Councilman Nat Cooper Yes, I am In favor of the referendum. The Eddy law especially should be killed. P. Basche, of the Bascho Hardware Company You may quote me as being against the Eddy law, and therefore In Xavor of the refenerdum. H. H. Hallock, agent of the O. R. & N. Co., who was present. Indorsed Mr. Basche's statement. Councilman Court ney had not given the matter any consid eration, but thought the Eddy law was against the mining Interests. Mayor Carter I have not given the sub ject sufficient thought to express an opin ion, but I signed the petition for the ref erendum because I wished to have that measure jut to a test. I voted against the referendum because I did not think it a good proposition, and you can quote mo as saying the people will soon And out they have got something they would like to be rid of. L D. Bowen, editor of the Democrat I am not so sure but that the Eddy bill is a good law. While it doubtless contains objectionable features, it also contains some good ones. So far as the portage railroad is concerned, that Is a measure In which Eastern Oregon is not very much interested. J. A- Geddes, of Geddes & Pollman I am against the Eddy law. Senator John L. Rand You can quote me as decidedly In favor of the portage railroad bill. In regard to tho Eddy law, Mr. Rand desired an opportunity to present his views with more deliberation than a con versation over a telephone afforded to night. Charles J. Hill, manager of the Herald, said: "So far as the portage railroad bill Is concerned, you can quote me as being decidedly in favor of invoking the refer endum on that law, but I am not so par ticular about the Eddy law." Hon. J. H. Robblns, of Sumpter, said over the telephone that he was in favor of the portage railroad bill. He said he favored the repeal by referendum of the Eddy law, although if the bill had been made applicable to all corporations alike he would have favored It. Mr. Rob blns is of the opinion that it was a mis take to associate the Eddy law and the portage railroad bill together tor refer endum purposes. Charles Parker, manager of the Phoe nix mine, said he thought tho Eddy cor poration tax law was a proper measure. He had mined all over the world, and had always been required to pay a corpora tion tax. Owing to the lateness of the hour, many people whose opinions would be valuable could not Te reached tonight. In regard to the fate, of the two measures, Ehould they come to a vote In this county, there Is a wide difference of opinion. Some ore emphatic in their belief that both bills will carry, while others are equally posi tive they will be defeated. Conservative people say the result Is doubtf uL.

(Special.) The Supreme Court has reversed the Che halls County case of Puget Sound Iron & Steel Works, appellant, against C. H. Clemmons and Maggie Clemmons. re spondents. The steel works brought suit to foreclose a mortgage on a' logging en gine sold by It to the respondents on ac count of a balance duo on the purchase price. Clemmons put In a counter claim, alleg ing that the engine had been warranted to do certain work, and was also de fective, by reason of which he was com pelled to buy a new drum for It at a cost of $500 and sustained damages by delays to his camp. He was given a verdict of $2700, from which was to be deducted $1351.20 still due on the purchase price. The Supreme Court instructs the lower court to give the steel works a judgement on foreclosure for the balance or the pur chase price, with $175 additional for at torney's fees, from which amount shall be deducted the $500 paid by Clemmons to replace the defecth-e drum.

Farmhands "Wanted. ATHENA. Or., May 7. Farmhands are scarce and farmers are applying to em ployment agencies at Portland for men. There will be steady employment through out the wheat and fruit belt in this sec tion for a great many more .men than are here now, until after the crops are garnered BEND HAS NO SMALLPOX EVERY PRECAUTION IS BEING TAKEN AGAINST INFECTION. Disinfectants Are Used Freely lor the Disease Exists in Mech of the SarroHBdins Country. BEND, Or., May 5. (Special.) Reports leaking Into this country from the out side indicate a wide impression that smallpox rages here. This Is a mistake. No case of smallpox has been reported nearer than Reese's ranch, SO miles or more to the southward, or Prineville, 30 miles to the northeast. You have had full reports from Prineville.- The pa tient at Reese's ranch, on Paulina Creek, Guy Reese, is dead. Every precaution against introduction of the disease has been taken here. With rare exceptions, the two hotels here do not admit transients and germicide sprays are used dally throughout the houses. The public school was closed last week as a measure- of extreme pre caution, but it resumed work yesterday. .No" case of exposure to the disease Is known in this neighborhood and there Is no prospect that smallpox will break out here. "With tho exceptions noted, business proceeds as usual. While this locality Is free of the dis ease, truth requires the statement that no avenue of approach to Bend Is above suspicion. Shaniko, Hay Creek and Prineville, on one rrfiite, are Infected, and on the other the Haystack country Is reported to have two or three cases of smallpox. But the dally disinfection of stages and all matter carried by them. Including passengers;, general vaccina tion, vigilance of the authorities, and the concern not to say alarm of the public give promise of a speedy stamping out of the disease In Central Oregon. For tunately people are more scared than hurt. f TO FILL ASTORIA STREETS. Plnn Contemplates Sluicing Dirt From the Hillsides. ASTORIA. Or.. May 7. (Special.) A plan has been suggested to the Council and Is now under consideration by that body for the Improvement of streets in the central portion of the city, which are over the water and which have heretofore been improved by trestlework and plank covering. This class of Improvement is very expensive, as it lasts but a short time, and on streets that are heavily traveled the covering must be renewed every few years. To obviate this, the new plan has been suggested. It Is to bulk head the street on each side and at the ends, and then fill it In with dirt sluiced down from the hillside, the fill when completed to bo covered with a thick layer of crushed rock. Estimates prepared by contractors show that an Improvement of this kind can be made about $240 cheaper per block than with trestle and planking. Owners of property on the hillside who desire to have their lots graded have signified a willingness to pay the expense of sluicing, so the expense of building the streets will not be heavy on the people in the assess ment district. The City Surveyor is pre paring estimates of the cost of the work, and should his report to the Council be such as to warrant the experiment, the new class of Improvement will undoubt edly be tried. ASSESSMENT OF TIMBER, Clatsop Deputies "Will Determine tho Value of Tracts. ASTORIA. Or.. May 7. (Special.) The County Commissioners' Court today ap proved the appointment of Maxwell Young, Frank Blaisdell and W. G. Pres cott as Deputy Assessors, for the purpose of fixing the values of timber lands in the county. The plan Is to have these men, who are experienced timber cruisers, seg regate the lands into classes, according to the amount and quality of timber on each, so that the Assessor can determine the values, taking Into consideration their lo cation and accessibility. The court expects that in this manner a much more equitable assessment can be obtained and the values be Increased to such an extent that the additional taxes received from this class of property, which Is nearly all owned by large syndicates, will much more than repay the county for the extra expense.
