THE aiOBSISG OEEG0XIAX, TUESD-T, JUXE 18, 1907. ts 1ULQ ADD LARGE SUM TO TAX ROLL Big Difference if Local Fran chises Were Assessed the "Seattle" Way. AN INCREASE OF MILLIONS Assessor Sigler Says It Is Hardly Likely That This Plan Will Be Adopted Hero for the Pres ent, at Least. Assessment of street franchises in Portland would b increased many fold should Assessor Sigler fix tax valua tions at the difference between value of physical properties of each corpora tion and market value of lbs stocks and bonds, as Assessor T. A. Parrlsh, in Seattle, ts doing for King County. The total assessment of franchises in Multnomah County last year was 11,885,000. This would be put up to a figure near $10,000,000 by the method of the Seatle assessor. But there is little likelihood . of Assessor Signer's applying this method at least just yet. He says that assessment of franchises is a very perplexing problem, because of difficulty of separating franchise valuations frpm other intangible ele ments, which in private business is called "good will" or the personal energy of individuals. Assessment Is Arbitrary. Franchises in Multnomah County are accessed arbitrarily, no attempt being made to cause the valuations to equal the marUet values of the franchises. In the Oregon Legislature last Win ter a bill to compel assessors to list franchises at their capitalized net earnings passed the House, but was smothered in the Senate by corpora tion influences that ruled that body. The bill came from the late State Tax Commission, and had been drafted by long labor of the Commission. This bill may be presented to the voters of the state at the general election next June, for enactment under the initia tive. It would cause the net earnings of public service corporations less de preciation and taxas to be capitalized at a fair Interest rate, say 5 per cent. From that sum would be deducted the value of physical properties. On these taxes would be collected by the coun ties in the usual manner. The remain ing sum would be deemed the value of the franchise and would be taxed. Tills was considered by the Tax Com mission as the very best method of assessing franchises. This method would apply not only to public service corporations holding street franchises, but also to those which possess other privileges, such as railroads and tele graph companies throughout the state. Street Franchises Valuable. The most valuable street franchises in Portland are those for streetcars owned i.y ttia Portland Railway, Light & Power Company. They were assessed last year for JS00.000. of which sum $750,000 was for tnosa of the Portland Railway Company, since merged with the larger concern. Other valuable franchises are those of the Portland General Electric Company, assessed at J2SO.0OO; the Portland Gas Company and the East Portland Gas Light Company, assessed at $150,000; the Pacific States Telephone and Telegraph Company, assessed at $250,000 and the Home Telephone & Telegraph Company, assessed at $100,000. There are 14 street franchises in Portland assessed in and in 1905 as follows: How They Are Assessed. l!06 iw5. tw.ooo $ eoo.ooo 2.N0.0OO tM).000 50,0(10 l'j.000 I'Jj.tKH) 100.000 SS.Uflo 15.000 2oO.tH.iO 200.000 100,000 15.OO0 1S.00O 15.000 3.000 vott 500 S.tiOO 5.000 -5.0O0 20.000 3S.00O 25.000 10.000 6.000 Vortland Railway $ Portland General Electric.

Franchises were first assessed in Port land in 1905. after the sale of the street car systems of the Portland Consolidated Railway Company, to Eastern capitalists for $,000,000. As but $3,000,000. at most, represented the value of physical proper ties of the streetcar lines, the remaining $3,000,000 represented in large part the value put on the franchises. Assessor Sigler assessed the franchises at $600,000. The company paid the tax without fight ing it. ASSISTANT FOR KAVANAUGH Council Ways and Means Committee Thinks City Attorney Needs Help. The Council committee on ways and means yesterday decided to recommend the enactment by the Council of an ordinance creating the office of another assistant attorney at $150 a month, the latter to attend to the work at the City Hall. The ordinance to be submitted to the regular Council meeting tomorrow will provide that the office be created July 1, next, when CltyrAttorney-elect J. P. Kavanaugb. takes office. The committee will also recommend an ordinance appropriating $500 for purchasing an oil painting of Colonel L. L. Hawkins, founder of the city's museum. The portrait was painted by F. LeBarre Goodwin. Councilman Belding brought up ills solution proposing that all employes of the city who have been in its em ploy for mere than a year shall have 10 days' vacation annually with full pay. In answer to an inquiry tram Wallace, Belding said Bis proposal was a sweeping one and included every laborer in the city's employ. It was decided to pass further con sideration of the resolution up to the reorganized Council next month. This same action was taken on the application to increase the salaries of the captains in the fire department, the Ttetitien of the transit men in the City Engineer's office for more pay and the request ot to Duuaing inspector to more help.

Chief of Police Gritzmacher issued an order, yesterday instructing the police men regarding the provisions of the city ordinances governing the sale" and dis charge of fireworks. He ordered the strictest enforcement of the laws and the arrest ot all persons who may be caught violating them.'' The discharge of any kind of fireworks or explosives is not permissible "within the city limits until July i, and on that date no firecrackers over four'inches long are to be exploded. It is against the law for persons to discharge "revolvers, pis tols or any kind of firearms, whether loaded with so-called blank cartridges or with powder and ball, and it is likewise unlawful to discharge mixtures such as chloride ofjotash, sulphur and saltpeter or any other kind of explosive. Storekeepers who sell any of these ma terials will be subject to a fine of from $o to $100, as well as those who Use them. Gets $200 Instead of $31725. Jacob Selling was awarded "a verdict for $300 yesterday by a jury in Circuit Judge Benson's Court, instead of $1726, the amount sought from Leo Frtede and others as remuneration for' ' supplying tenants for a tour-story building situ ated at Fifth and Pine streets. The jury sealed Its verdict last Saturday night and announced it yesterday morning. Selling claimed to be instrumental in obtaining tenants for ' a ' building owned by the defendants. This was admitted by the defendants, who asserted Sailing's claim was exorbitant. ' They asserted $100 was Just pay tor his. services. The defendants" were Leo Fried Marcus Friede, Mrs. Hannah Baruh and Mrs. Durkheimer. . Suit the peoplo. because they are tired of bitter doses, with the pain and griping that usually follow.

MANNING STILL CONFIDENT District Attorney Believes Court Will Uphold Him In His Movement to Enforce the State Law with in the Limits of Portland. In the Circuit Court this morning the cases growing out of the arrests Sunday of liquor dealers who disobeyed the order to close their establishments will be ar gued on demurrer by District Attorney John Manning, for the. state and Law yer C. E. S. Wood, for the defense. It is hoped by those interested that the de cision may be announce this week, so that by next Sunday it will be definitely known whether the city is to be "dry" on the Sabbath In future. 'District Attorney Manning last night said: "The cases will be argued in court and I am confident of a decision In fa vor of a closed town." Lawyer C. E. S. Wood said: "I am too busy preparing my brief to make a statement, but will be ready to argue the demurrer in court tomorrow." Two of the 'eight saloon men arrested for violating the Sunday closing law pleaded guilty before Presiding Circuit Judge Cleland yesterday and were fined $16 each. The men are E. T. Carlson and George Cochran of Linnton who were arrested by Sheriff Stevens and Deputy Sheriff Holllngsworth. After pleading , guilty both men gave voluble excuses. Carlson stated he was Ignorant of the English language and therefore was unable to read the law concerning Sunday closing. This igno rance, he also stated, prevented him from knowing of District Attorney Man ning's intention to screw down the lid. Cochran pleaded he intended to keep his saloon open but five minutes when ... vrfaital hu tho Sheriff. pHe accounted fo the patrons In his sa loon at the time by declaring they were friends from Portland and simply "dropped in." He asserted he had given them two glasses of beer and had re fused the money they tendered' for it. " Eight men were arrested far violating the Sunday law. Complaints were filed against the following: E. T. Carlson and George Cochran, of Linnton; B. -Egchel-bacher, 135 North Sixth street; A. E. Do dell, Nineteenth and Vaughn streets; C. S. Stevens 333 Gleason street; C. W. Dilg, Twenty-fourth and Nicolai streets T. J. Uhlman, 134 North Tenth street. As yet" no information has been filed against saloonkeeper Louis Richards ot St. Johns, who was placed under arrest. Within a half hour after the informa tions were filed demurrers were entered by the accused liquor dealers. The de murrers ara based on two objections; that the informations do not state facts sufficient to show the commission of any crime and that there is no law pf the state of . Oregon in force in the city of Portland prohibiting the acts set forth in the informations. The saloonmen are represented by Williams, ' Wood and Llnthicum. District Attorney Manning's order was the subject of much' discussion yesterday in all placeV and called forth two sets of resolutions from -ministerial bodies the Methodist Episcopal Ministerial As sociation of Portland and the state con ference of the ' Swedish' Baptists, assem bled In their annual meeting. The resolutions passed by the Swedish Baptists" are as follows: We, the Swedish Baptists of Oregon, in our eighth state ' conference assembled, do h.reby wish to express our -heartfelt grati tude to God. that In-the Interest ot law, order and betterment of society, he has moved the hearts of the officials of the law to enforce the law "pertaining to the closing of 'saloons on Sund'a'y, and we pray that this may - be' one - of many steps towards civic and -moral righteousness in our fair city. E. SCHERSTRQM. Chairman. A. G. SANDBLQM, secretary. Cluef ot Police Gritzmacher is not en tirely satisfied with the manner in which District Attorney Manning han dled the first Sunday-closing. The Chief regrets that Mr. Manning allowed the door of any saloon or drinking shop to open for any purpose, and declares that, if soft drinks are to be sold In saloons all Sundays, it will result In endless trouble for" the police. He thinks all doors should be closer in every saloon and no business whatever allowed within. Lewis Richards, of St. Johns, denies that be told the officers who arrested him "that he had the Weinhard brewery back ot him, and says no one was back of him. COMPROMISE IN SHEEP CASE Judge Wolverton Issues Restraining Order Against Commission. A temporary order against the Ore gon Sheep Commission, restraining it from re-quiring members of the We- naha Sheepgrowers' Association of Washington to dtp their sheep, was is sued yesterday afternoon by Judge C. E. Wolverton. ' The order also - pre vents the quarantining of the sheep by the " commission" after they enter the state on their way to the Wenaha for est for Summer pasturage. The ruling in the present cases, which were In stituted 'by the Washington sheepmen, was given by Judge Wolyerton on the Showing made, and is ' In the nature of a compromise verdict, as he did not rule against' the state law respect- log dipping and quarantining where a careful Inspection would snow' the sheep to be infected with disease. This means that ' Washington 'and Oregon sheep will be handled exactly alike. Attorneys Bryson and Cain, of Walla Walla, representing the Washington sheepmen, will probably move that the injunction be made permanent, because an answer was filed tq the complaint. It is also probable that the suit will be appealed and taken into the Su preme Court. - DESERTS HIS WIFE AND BABE County Court Has Handled Seven Non-support Cases Under New Law.

SUMSTflEffl District Attorney Manning Closes Fourth Street. DISORDERLY HOUSES HIT Denizens of Restricted District Told They Must Get Out by 9 o'clock Tonight, but Don't Know Where to Go. After a successful campaign against the saloon traffic on Sundays, District Attor ney John Manning has Inaugurated a campaign against the dives on iNortn Fourth street. Last night Detective Pat rick J. Maher, acting under orders of the District Attorney, called upon the keep ers of disorderly resorts and also the in mates of the cribs between Davis and Everett streets, on Fourth street, . and served notice that all of them must move or at least close up their respective places by 0 o'clock this evening. The denizens of the restricted district comprised in the locality visited by De tective Maher last night have been in a state ot turmoil for the last two years, owing to the repeaetd attempts made to have thera vacate, which crusades were conducted at the Instance of Mayor Lane, ex-Sheriff Tom Word and later on the part of Constable Lou Wagner. Hereto fore all attempts at purging this district of its disorderly characters have met with failure, and the present crusade on the part of 'the District Attorney la being watched with interest In making this campaign the "reform ers" have designated no particular place where these people are to locate. Lower Fourth street is the only section of the various districts where disorderly persons are congregated that has figured in the removal notices issued by the various offi cials. The South End has not' yet been bothered by either department of the law- enrorcement element. Some time ago the city officials forced the parlor houses to vacate the uptown localities then occupied by them, and permitted them to locate on North Seventh street and adjacent thor oughfares, hut have not yet stipulated any particular district where the deni zens of the Lower Fourth street may open their resorts. Only last week the resorts conducted by Tony Arnaud and others in the locality visited by Detective Maher were haled Into court, and this new order adds to the confusion now ex Istlng. Last night the proprietors of these Places ancj lessees Qf the buildings con sulted their lawyers after being served with the notice to vacate, after whloh they refused' to tell how' they would act relative to me notice. It is presumed that they will "obey' the mandate in th YSnJ th9t their attorneys find that the District Attorney's office is determined to eniorca toe order. " REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS E. L. and Ella J.
