Henry Eastoq GROCER Telephone 26 344 N. Jackson St., Roseburg walk It would have to be rebuilt." Horace Marsters. who was pres ent at( the meeting iu (behalf of the members of tae Methodist church, then asked permission to speak briefly, and such courtesy was extended by the mayor. He spoke in substance as follows: "The members of the Methodist church are In your hands, gentlemen, but nevertheless we hope and ex pect that we will be treated fairly aud impartially iu this matter. You are suppsed to be a progressive set of people, (referring to the council men) but I am inclined to believe that you can see the faults of the church more readily than those of the city. At the time we were in structed !to build a cement walk abutting our property on Main street, we deemed it expedient and wise to complete the work of building sidewalks for all time, and conse quently we decided to also build a similar walk on Lane street. We had sufficient funds at the time, and consequently we went ahead and the work was comleted at a great ex pense. Now, I think It is unfair for you, as members of the city council, to compel! us to discard a practi cally new sidewalk and build a new one at an expense which we can ill afford. "We were assured by the city en gineer, or a committee, at the time the walk was constructed, that in the event it wasn't right, the city would make it right. 1 am not positive, but it seems to mo that a committee appointed by the council informed us at the time that tlfti grade was cor rect." Councilman Josephson then spoke as follows: "I have been a member of this council for about three years, and during that time I have made It a point to keep well In touch with what has been going on. , 1 have uo recollection, whatever, of any committee being appointed to moet the church people, and I am positive that I was never a member of such body In the event It existed. "I was present, however, nt the time of a conversation between the pastor of the church and the street, committee, nnd remember distinct ly that we offered to modify the grade in the event construction was delayed for a few clays." Councilman Micelti, chairman of the street committee, then charged Mr. Marsters of being unfair tu his argument, and Intimated that he ( .Marsters) bad attempted to mis lead the assembly In attempting to make it appear that he (Micelli) was endeavoring to work a hardship upon the church, and at the Bame time neglecting other equally as dnm ag ing defects. "We begged them not to build their walk on the so-called grade at the time," Bald Micelli, "and offered to modify It In the event they delayed work." Mr. Marsters then replied to Ml celli in stating thnt he did not wish to be unfair, but on the contrary i had attended the meet'u as a rep-, presentt.t.v of the Met cuMm church in hope of receiving Jis treatment and a fair deal. Of course." said Mr. Marsters. "If the shoe fits, put it on, I don't care." Contractor K. F. Patterson, who was Pin ployed to build the walk, was then called upon lo enlighten the assembly. Mr. Patterson could not remenmer what transpired at. the time t ho wnlk was built further than the alteeed fact that the rrade was given him by some person purport ing to he the city engineer. Mr. Marsters then asked permis sion o speak briefly and smh re quest was granted. He paid that he believed the city engineer tendered the church com mittee an agreement in writ ing at the time the walk was constructed, the same being to the effect that in the event the grade was defective the elty would rebuild it without cost lo the original builders. Mr. Marsters said that ho thought that .1. M. liooth was present at the t ime tli- I agreement was tendered and t such gentleman would bear him out In his statement, i Realizing the necessity of delv ing definite artfon on the ni'rt of the commit tee. Councilman I !o'K k. ' advanced a motion to the effect ti'-tt the report lie r'ferr"d to the city ; attorney for th purpose of invtl j gating the record in hope of fic.-r-! talning whether or not the cttv I ! under any obligation to the churdi j people, or nt least, to drrrnine m-hether there In any record to phow i that the alleged written aereentent had been tendered the members of the church as contended. According to Councilman 1fourk motion, it would seern that he con sidered It expedient to ascertain whether the rity engineer, who Ik lbt;d to have Kfven the grade was acting In an advisory or authoratlve capacity. Councilman Micelli declarpd that he was only too glad in delay ac tion on the report and was of the opinion that the investigation would reveal facta to substantiate the con tentions of the committee. TAX LAW KXPKltl.MKXT. Kramer of Measure Say Will Xot Ite Effective Until 1012. PORTLAND, Nov. 22. Probably intended as the entering wedge for the application of the land tax theo ry of raising revenues for the sup port of municipal, state and county governments, the amendment to Ar ticle XI of the Oregon constitution, known as Section la, will not be come effective until 1912. It is too late for the Orange, the Oregon State Federation of Labor and the Port land Labor Council to enact Initia tive legislation changing the present method of taxation. Members of the People's Power League, who aided in drawing the amendment, yester day conceded that counties cannot place the amendment in effect until taxation laws shall be adopted under the Initiative by the people of each county in 1911, and to beconio ef fective In 1912. Ben Selling, Colonel C. 43. S. Wood, W. S. U'Uen. Will Daly, IT. J. Parklson and other friends of the amendment, characterize It as an ex periment and hope to demonstrate its practicability In Multnomah county. Other counties may drop Into lino along the same lines of demonstration if the voters aeo lit. but it Is the plan of the promoters or the "management of your own pocketbook idea" to experiment In. a few counties until tho plan is work ed out. The new amendment deprives the legislature of making a law which shall declare what property may be assessed - in the state. Thnt power is now vested In the people of each county. Tho legislature may cause the stale to certify tho number of mills which shall be levied for the support of the state government, but at that point its control ceases. County cvmmlHH loners may decide how much mvenuo Is needed to run the county foi which they are act Ing, but they must collect the sum In such manner as may bo devised by the voters of a county. Briefly the new amendment repeals the noil or head tax, on citizens. No scheme regulating taxation or exemptions Mirougnoiu tne stato can become a law until atmroved by the people. Tho restrictions of the constitution are removed as to prohibiting a county from collecting taxes In any manner it may see fit. It removes from the supreme court tho right to say that the people, have not the right to tax or to exempt any class of property. The new tax law Is said to have been originated by the Stato Orange, and after the tdett was whipped Into shape at a meeting of the represen tative members of the People's Pow er League it was adopted by tabor organizations. "It is prohablo that tho amend ment will result In a land tax, and an effort to make land monopolists bear the large burden of expense of government," said an advocate and sponsor for the bill yestmday. "I had little to do with rramlng the amendment, but, knowing the temper of those who were behind it, I be lieve that to be true. "Friends of the amendment hone that In the months which will Inter-j vene before the peoplo of M u It no ma Ii county are called upon to voto 1 on an Initiative bill changing the . method of taxation, they may become familiar with the idea that only a; redistribution nr tho burden is In-1 tended. We hope that owners of ma-; cilnery and surface improvements may come to understand that thev are h";irliig an unjust proporilon or the cont. of government, and that Ihey wfll aid Iu trying the change In the lingeM assessable enmity In the statu."
