THE OREGON MIST. EOBSCRlrTIOJt. $1.60 VKR YEAR. St. HiLtiKa, MAttcrt 4, 1891 ASSiSSOBS IN CONVSSTIOg; Tba Htwon frotd ths several counties of ths iUU met in Portland lest Friday for the parpoM ofdis uussiug ths methods of providing uniform assessment, nearly every county in the stata was represented They recommend tbe repeal of the exemption for indebtedness clause of the assessment laws, and also the . rnortgage, tai law. After considerable discussion the following resolutions were offered! by Asse sor Brannin, of Umatilla county, which were unani Ihoualy adopted : Whsksas, Under the practical working of ths assessment laws of this state there is wide-spread and growing dissatisfaction, Wmbsus, It is believed that the cause of many of (he evils complained of is inherent in the assessment taws. R soi.yid, That it is the sense of this convention of the tidahty assessors of the state now assembled for the purpose of considering all questions relating to aw rnent, that the assessment laws should be mended so as to reach results as follows First That all assessments npon which it is proposed to levy and collect taxes should be made at uniform time, to-wit IS o'clock noon of the first Monday of April each year. second That the listing of property should be completed within aUty dsys from that data. Third That rolls should be completed and returned to the county clerk not later than the first Monday of August of each year. Fourth That there should be no de ; d actions on account of indebtedness, and therefore no assessments of credits; that existing property alone shoald be end at ths place of its actual location. Fifth That there should be provision for the enforcement of a lien on the property assessed, dating and attaching on and after said li o'clock noon of April l , for all taxes levied for the current year nnder ssid sesshient, bnt that said lien shall not be confined to the spedflc property aseejjsed. 8ixth That railroad telegraph and tele phone lines located in more than one county shall be assessed by a state board for that purpose, to be made as of same date as for county assessments. The as sessmenta so made to be certified by said board te the county clerks of the several counties, by whom the same shall be en tered on the tax rolls of the county, nnder the hesd of railroad, telegraph or telephone Unee, as the esse may be. RxsoLvra, That in order to correct, ss far a possible, the vicious practices that have be come so common under ths present per tlicions laws, permitting deduction for in debtedness, and the nnpracticability of reaching and taxing credits; each assessor wOl make a special effort, by careful scrutiny and by exacting a full compliance with all the requirements of the law. to void permuting any and all ficticious or fraudulent indebtedness from being de ducted from assessments, and that the first day of August of each year be the time fixed to report to the assessors of the vari ous counties. Relative to the mortgage tat law, Assessor Sears, of Multnomah county, submitted the following resolution, which was also adopted : Resolves, That it is the sense of this as sembly that the repeal of the mortgage tax law and allowing deductions for indebted ness would bee vsst benefit to the people of this state; that we believe the effect of the zoortgage tax law has a tendency to drive capital from ths state, and prevents invest ments in manufactures of all kinds, which e, as a new state, greatly need; that the deductions for indebtedness prevent as sessors placing the burden of taxation where it properly belongs; that the fixed rate of taxation of 6 mills be repealed, and that all property be assessed at its true cash value, and ths rate of the tax levy be made by the state authorities necessary to meet the estimated expenses ef the government of the state In the asms manner at is done by the county courts for county expenses; that all returns of property from taxpayers should be given to the assessor as it ap peared on some fixed date, and as ths as sessment of property commences on the first day of March of each year, and we recommend that returns be mads as they appear on that day; In regard to assessing property at its lull cash value, Brannin, of Uma tilla, submitted the following; WnsBsus. For many years past there bss been a non-uniformity of assessment in the various counties of the state of Oregon ; and VTsiiexAa, This convention of assessors has been sailed for the purpose of agreeing npon and adopting a system of assessment throughout the state that will make the said assessment equal and uniform ; . XbsOlvcd, That all property, real and personal, shall hereafter be assessed at Its true cash value The sentiment existing among tbe assessors and also among tbe majority of the taxpayer it that tbe exemption for indebtedness law and mortgage tax law should be repealed. at the next session of the legislature, and that all property sbsll be assessed at its pres ent cash value. This, in our opinion, is the only remedy that Will correct the long existing evil fh our assess ment law. Every property oamer should be compelled to pay tax on tbe cash value of their property without any exemption. This, perhaps would work a temporary hardship on a few, bnt force the rich to pay their portion which, under tbe present law they vade, to an alarming extent and at a result a great deal more money would be turned into the county treasury, thereby enabling the board of equalisation to make the rate of taxation much lower. Until this is done the poor people and those of just moderate meant will have to bear tbe burden of taxation, while the more Wealthy, at usual, will claim to the taeasoron oath, if be requires it that their indebtedness almost equals lb a value of their property; all of which the present tax lawt tend town Courage them in doing. : Columbia county should! tend men to the legislature this year who will draft a bill for the repeal of this in famous law and work incessantly to secure its passage by both branches of that body. This county should also endeavor to secure the nomination and election of a man to the supreme bench who Is in sympathy with and would sustain such a law after it is passed Should such a law be enacted the poor man's tuxes would be ma terially decreased, and the rich Would havo to pay no more than the honeel rating on the property they represent. WASHINGTON LETTER. (from Our Regular Corrttpottdnt.) Wasbikotok, D. C, Feb. 98, 1892 The president has taken advantage of the demoralised condition of the big democratic majority in the house to obtain a few dayt of very, much needed rest, and has gone with hit family to Virginia Beach, leaving word that he must not be bothered with business, unless it be of the most urgent nature, before his return to Washington, which will probably be about the last of next week. This is tbe first rest the president has taken since last November, and few men in any occupation have worked more hours than be hat during tbe last three months. The democratic leaders of the house are trying to batch up a compromise agreement that will slave off the open rupture which has been threatened for weekt between the silver and anti- silver democrats. Having failed in their attempt to persuade the silver democrat! to allow the free coinage bill to go over until after tbe presi dential election, they are now at work npon tbe anti-silver democrats with a view to allowing the free coinage bill to be passed with as little debate as possible after the free binding-twine bill is disposed of by tbe bouse, and. although the an lis' have not yet fully agreed with that programme, it looks as if they would have to do so, unless they can get the republicans to vote with tbem. A democratic caucus was held last night, but no attempt was made to do anything definite. Democratic senators are . beginning to show considerable opposition to Senator Paddock's pure food bill, and usual with democratic opposition it has a very flimsy foundation, If in deed it baa any at alL Senator Bate, of Tennessee, made a pretense of hav ids; discovered that a great big politi cal machine, with thousands of active agents in every section of the country, was concealed in the bill. Senator Paddock made short work of that by calling attention to the fact that only SlUO.UUOwas asked for by Secretary Busk to carry out the provisions Of the bill for tbe first year, a sum that would not employ many thousand po litical agents. Senator Coke, of Texas, then stated bis objections which were principally because be did not think it would prevent the adulteration of food. Senator Paddock regards the passage of the bill by the senate as certain. The senate adopted a resolution, of fered by Senator Sherman, calling upon the secretary of agriculture for a copy of the report made by the special agent who experimented in tbe pro duction of rain by artificial means, but year. Secretary Busk hopes the resolution will bring tlie report, which he bat not yet received from the afore said special agent Tbe nomination of William B. Gil bert, of Oregon, to be United States Circuit Judge for the 9th judicial district, which was sent to the senate this week, falls the bench of the new circuit court. The senate postofnee committee is favorably inclined towards attaching an amendment to tbe postotnee ap propnation bill appropriating 1300.000 to enable the postmaster general to make a test of the free delivery service to rural districts. Tbe idea is strongly urged by representatives of the Na tional Grange and other farmer or ganizations, and is also Warmly ap proved by business men. A non-partisan convention of lum bermen will meet here this week to protest airainst tbe democratic propo sition to put lumber on tbe free list. Delegates from all sections of tbe country will attend this convention which has adopted fof its motto: "American markets for Americana." But little importance is attached in congressional circles to tbe St. Louis conference, it being so apparent that the South will remain in control of Tammany Hall, which is now running tbe national democratic party, that the prediction is made that thousands of republicans in the northwest who have been misled into joining the third party movement will return to the support of the national republican ticket this year. Representative Springer's flop from Cleveland to Hill shows the way ihe democratic wind is blowing. Hill hat certainly made rapid gains in congress, notwithstanding the statement winch should be taken with a good deal of caution, that Brice and Gorman bad withdrawn their adherence. Many be lieve that this statement has been put out for tbe purpose Of beading off the cry of "bossisro, and that tbe triple alliance is still in existence. Speaking of the Hill sentiment, a republican member of .congress met a democratic friend who has been a loud Cleveland shouter, with the greeting : "Well, your party seems rapidly drift ing Hillwards." "Spell tbe tirst sylla the Cleveland mau "and I will agree with you." The senste adopted a resolution of fered by Senator Sherman asking the president, if not incompatible with publio interests, to furnish the senate with a copy of the proceedings of the recent conference of Secretary Blaine with the Canadian reciprocity commissioners. CL.ATSKANIE NEWS. Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Tichenor are spending a wevk in Portland and pos sibly Astoria. The house it shut ud and all looks very quiet over there.

It seems to be generally understood that O. W. Badger will superintend the building of the new school bouse W. A. Wood, hsviog closed his term of school near Pittsburg, ia spending a few days in town. At o. Uordon, another teacner, was in town Sunday. Notices are posted calling attention to the annual public school meeting to be held in the school house next Mon day at 3 p. m. One school director for three years and clerk for one year are to be elected at that meeting, be sides some oilier necessary business, There ought to be a general attend ance. G. Pi Hiatt has been spending sev eral days lately in his shop on Neha lem avenue, making the booths re quired by law for the new ballot sys tem, to come into effect at the next general election. We understand he is to furnish all those needed in this count). Quite a number of persons gathered at Uonyers' hall last tnday evening upon the announcement of a special band practice, made interesting by the presence of a Mr. Nash from Oregun City, with whom tbe boys have been corresponding, asking him to come here and give them instructions. He seems to be a very competent band in structor, and gave the members of the band some suggestions that set them to work with renewed vigor, and epened their eyes as to various little details of band music and band exercise. An effort Will be made to secure his services aband instructor at this place, Bev. Coats has been endeavoring to stir up an interest in the temperance work, and baa cad a pledge circulated at his late preaching services. Tbe school directors and architect were measuring and staking off a lo cation for the new school house one day last week. The site, though an excellent one for situation, ia not as levil as in 1 1; lit be desired and will re quire considerable grading, which, it is expected, will be done this week if the weather is at all favorable. We heard the new road supervisor say last week he intended beginning work on the Marshland road in short time. It can be done none too soon to acoinmodate a number of people ia bntb places. The road to Beaver, around tbe Russian Finn's place, calls very loudly lor repairs also. . 8. Bryant is in Portland this week in the interest of his lumber mill. Word reaches us from the Nehalem valley of the death of Mist Annie i urpin at ner lathers houe near Vesper. She was a well known and highly respected young lady, and her death is particularly a aaJ one. We are without particulars as to tbe na ture of her illness. That THt Mist is a popular paper, is shown by the fact that various scribes have recently made it the re ceptacle for their maiden efforts to enlighten the public. It must be a proud day for these persons when they see their letters in print, The Clats- kanie delegation might be recognized at home by their ingenious efforts to can attention 10 mi hist, and in directly to their articles printed in it The use of a 'Latinish" sounding name it not enough to conceal identity in bis town, and criticisms, Whether of the council, tbe marshal or the Oats' kanie correspondent by these writers are goodnaturedly tolerated because tbey please the writer and don't hurt any one else.
