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.

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

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

The use of a 'Latinish" sounding name
it not enough to conceal identity in

are goodnaturedly tolerated because
tbey please the writer and don't hurt
any one else.
