SEES GLOOMY FUTURE Says City and Farrrt Values Face Extinction Unless , Present Burdens Are Made Lighter. (AMoctetod Prta LnmA Win.) SALEM. Ore., 8ept. 29. Gorern- nr Pierce today made public a let ter to tbe assessors of the state warning them that at tbe assessors meet! nit to be held In Salem In the near future the governor, as chair man of the atate tax commlsaloii. will ak them If they have complied with tbe law requiring; the assess ment of personal estate and per sonal property.. Inasmuch as. the assessments appear already to have been made, state and county officals here says the governor's letter Is probably too late to bring any. results. Whether personal property Is being asseaaed general ly hy the assessors of the state la question that could not be 'ans wered here today. The governor quotes "a promi nent and well-informed banker In the state of Oregon, of oppoalte po litical faith' who Governor Tierce sava. tecently said to him: within a venr abort time there will be practically no value left In city or farm pronerty unleaa there la a more equitable dlatrlbutlon of taxes. The present avateni of col lecting principally from land all the money neoensary for mainten ance of schools and rovernmenf simply means the confiscation of all value therein.' I have been saying this for years, writes the governor, "and to have It confirmed by a man of opposite political faith, a twin In whose bank there are large amounts nf stocks and bonds nf municipalities and business enter prises outside of Oregon, confirms me In the belief that owners of farm and city property are facing a crisis In the stale of Oregon." The law cited by the governor readv. ' 'Hv the terms personal estate' and 'personal property shall he construed to Include nl thlnss In action, household furniture, goods, chattels, moneys and gold dust, on hand or on deposit; aH boats or vensels. whether at home or abroad, and all capital Inveated therein: all debts due or to become due from solvent debtors, whether on account, note, mortgage, or otherwise, either within or without this state; all public stocks: all bonds, warrants and moneys due or to become due from this atate, or any county or municipal sub-dlvl-slon thereof; and stocks and shares in incorporated companies liable to taxation on their capital as shall not be Invested In real es tate; and all Improvements made thy person. 1 1 h am u twin is tha lands claimed hr them under the Ihw of the United Htates, the fee nf which lands Is still vested In the United Htati " Rlnce the enactment of the above provision household goods have be come exempt by law. The governor adds that an opin ion of the attorney-general has held that the statute as quoted is to be Interpreted Just aa it reads. He declares that repeal of the state Income fix law from which $2,670,000 has been collected with mnre to come, has Increased the burden on real property. "I feel that aa governor of thla state." Ihe letter concludes, "I wnuld be derelict In mv dutv If f did not continue In every honor able way to brirjr about a more equitable distrlOr'nn nf he bur den of taxation. I kno full well that the prennt assessment laws are not equitable, and lhat the tax burden Is not txdng Justly distribut ed, f know nf no better way to bring about the repeal of a bad law IhsnQ-Qiforce It.

(AnorUUid I'm LtueJ Win.) MEDFOKU. Ore., Sept. 2$. An swer 'has been filed by the First Baptist rhurch of Ashland to tbe amended complaint of tbe Ashland Baptist church, of Ashland, aaklng for a dismissal of the complaint, possession of the church edifice, damagea for selsure of the church house of worship last July, by Ihe Ashland Baptist church and rent at the rate of $75 a month, "since the selsure by stealth." The legal document Is another chapter tn the factional differences that have split tbe Baptist church at Ashland sine last - November. The Ashland Baptist cliarrh ad heres to the established faith, and the First Baptist church follows the "Alruee McPhersnn four-siUare gospel," new movement. The complaint charges that the action of Ihe Portland Baptist min isters In upholding Ihe Ashland Baptist church was In an advisory capacity for Ihe purpose of restor ing harmony only, and not binding. It adds that the action of the Rogue River Baptist association. In "attempting to withdraw the hand or fellowship from Rev. R. C. Mil ler, acting pastor of the First Bap tist church. Is presumptuous, un authorised, uncalled for, and un precedented." The answer further alleges that the Ashland Baptist church, now In liossession of the church edifice, has 1150 of the First Baptist funds, which It refuses to return. It Is held that "every Baptist church Is a law unto Itself, except when not following the Holy Bible, and subject In ita decisions nf a clerical nature to the majority rule." The answer chsrges that the complaint has "not set forth in particularity, wherein the Almee Mcpherson four-square gospel new niovement differs. If at all, from the regular Baptlr.ttc teachings. nid that teachings of Almee Mc pherson conflicts with, or Is an tagnnlsllo to the Baptist teach Ings."
