CUT MADE IN ASSESSMENT Failure to Assess Other Property at 60 Per Cent- of True Value - May Decrease Figures for Roads. OLYMF1A. Wash.. Aug. 26. (Special.) I The attempt of the tax commission to ' ,.r 'if, i THE SOUTHER.V PACIFIC WRECK NEAR EIGEE. fix an assessed value on railroad prop erty In this state equivalent to 60 per cent of its true value as ascertained by the railroad commission, has- apparently been thwarted by King and other coun ties. King and numerous other counties have failed to assess other property at 60 per cent of Its true value and mem bers of the state board of equalization, which this year has the full power to fix the assessed value on railroads, admit that railroads cannot legally be assessed on a higher proportion of their true value than other property. The railroad commission's valuation placed on railroad right of way and roll ing stock was approximately $225,000,000. Heretofore the tax commission adopted 60 per cent of that value for assessment purposes and started, a campaign throughout the state to induce county assessors and boards of equalization to fix a 60 per cent value on other property. The taxable value of railroads under this plan would have been about 135, 000,000, or a little more than three times the assessed value in 1907. King County Board Makes Cut. In King county the assessor returned what is declared by the tax commission to be the best' and most equable assess ment ever returned in a county in the state and the values were fixed with a high degree of uniformity at 60 per cent of the true value. But the county board of equalization made, a horizontal cut of 25 per cent on the assessor's figures! It Is admitted that it would now be illegal to fix a 60 per cent valuation on the railroad property In King county. According to the returns of the last statr board of equalization King county possessed within its boundaries nearly one-third of all the taxable property in the state. The question now arises whether the state board of equalization can fix a 60 per cent value on railroads In counties where other property is as sessed at 60 per cent and fix the value at only 45 per cent In King and such counties that are under the 60 per cent valuation on other classes of property. There Is a strong probability that with other counties In the same category as is King, the state board will be com pelled to reduce the tax commission's railroad valuations to about 40 per cent of their true value or to about taO.OOO, 000. making a reduction of $46,000,000. At $90,000,000 the total value on rail roads in this state would be about double Instead of treble what It was In 1907. County Officials Still In Control. Under the existing law the taxation of railroad property has been taken entirely out of the hands of the assessors and county boards of equalization, but this year's experience -with the law Is demon strating that the county officials can still control the situation. The King county horizontal cut of 25 per cent is openly charged by J. E. Frost, of the tax commission, to railroad and political Influences. The railroad repre sentatives, it is charged. Induced the owners of Income business property, which was raised greatly In Seattle, to Join with them in a protest to the county board of equalization and the pressure brought to bear was so strong that the board yielded in the face of the fact that a committee from the Chamber of Com merce, which had gone thoroughly into the sltuatfbn with the assessor and tax commission, approved the assessor's val uations. The result, If as now expected, would have a political significance were it not that it will not be known until after the primary election is over. If railroad valuations are put In at 40 per cent the claims of increased revenue from the railroads made by the Mead forces in behalf of the railroad and tax commissions will be reduced one-half. In Session Next Month. The state board of equalization begins its sessions Wednesday, September 9, and will continue In session 20 days. At a preliminary conference yesterday after noon the difficulties that confront the board as a result of the counties failing to adopt a uniform 60 per cent valuation were discussed and dates for hearings were fixed. The railroads, which have been at work for months compiling statistics showing the proportion to the true value at which other property is assessed, will be given the fullest opportunity to be heard. The hearings on equalizations between coun ties will be reduced to four days. Five days were allowed last year. The pro gramme for the session follows: September 9 Organization of Board.

VALUATIONS ARE ' REDUCED Number of Changes Made by Pacific ' " County Board. SOUTH BEND. Wash.. Aug. ' 25. (Spe cial.) The Pacific County board of equal ization has adjourned after a tempestu ous session. The trouble started when taxpayers of South Bend and Raymond were notified, that their real estate val utions would be raised 100 per cent, In order to conform to timber valuations which were taken as a standard. Tim ber has been assessed at 60 per cent of its actual value., an average -of $1.75 per. 1000 feet. Members of the Taxpayers 'League then spent three days before the board in a determined effort to have the timber valuations reduced to 30 per cent of the original assessment, and In this tney were nnauy buuccmiui. ncoj coio.o valuations in the .two above named cities were allowed to stand at Assessor's val uation. The next to make a fight were the mill owners, who demanded that the valuation of their plants be materially reduced. Their., demands were twice granted and as many times the decision was rescinded, and the original valua tion was finally decided upon. A delega tion of fishermen from the Lower - Co lumbia then came over and asked that the valuation of trap locations be cut in two. - The original valuation of these locations was fixed at $3000. The request was granted. RANCHER CLAIMS DAMAGES Seeks $300 for Destruction of Straw Pile on Electric Right of Way. HILLSBORO, Or., Aug. 25. (Special.)

By reason of the magnitude of our wholesale business, we are enabled to command resources and to control facilities by which we reduce our selling cost per piano to a much lower point than is pos sible for the retail dealer. Our business is principally that of wholesaling, but we are selling many pianos here in the city from our wholesale warerooms because it can be done without any additional expense. This is our wholesale distributing point for the entire Northwest and it costs us nothing extra to sell a piano to a private individual. How can' you expect to buy a piano as cheap elsewhere T All retail dealers have to add to the cost of each piano their expense for lights, clerks, and a retail store, which is usually enormous. We have no expense whatsoever to charge that department. Some of the world's best pianos are on exhibition here and the low prices at which they can be purchased is already the talk of the musical fraternity. Why not investigate for yourself? Our liberal plan of deferred payments makes it possible for you to own even a MASON & HAMLIN (the costliest piano in the world). The Wiley B. Allen Co. Opp. Commercial Club Entrance.
