TAXATION OF RAILROADS

County Jii.Iku HittUn, having voted as
tnemlior uf the Cotintv Homil of Equal-
ixtttion to reduce the wasmi'iit of the
railroads in this county fn.m $1S,IX0 per
mile, as fls.'il by Awwor Im9, to 12,
000 mr milo. thereby depriving Colum
bia Conntv and it n-linol mid road i'i-.
trietsof about tti,000 pwMiiimn revenue,
makes the following uVfenteof his action
in lust week's Ufgistei :
Editor Register:
"I notice that the Oregon Mis' aevnaes
myself and H. Henderson with reducing
the tax valuation of the N. 1. U. 1!. from
$18,000 to 112,000 per mile. The facts
are the N. 1 lias less than 22 miles of

"The foregoing statement shows that
the N. P. paid 1-10 of the total tax dur
ing the years of '00 and 1)7, and will pay
l-13th of the total tax for the year pJOa
Now does Mr. Flagg expect the valuation
of the N. P. property to keep pace with
the total valuation of the county, or in
other words if the N. P. paid 1-10 of all
taxes in year 1S96, it should pay 1 10 of
all taxes in year 1905.
"R. P. HATTAN,
"County Judge."
We can see no argument whatever in
Judge Hattan'a statement. Tho Board
of Equalization is not supposed to keep
track of the comparative prosperity oi
corporations and individuals. Its duty
is prescribed by law and is plain and
mandatory. It is to equalize the assessed
valuations as made bv the county assess
or. If the railroad companies were as
sessed at a greater proportion of their
true value than wera private individu
als, then it was the duty of the board to
bring thetn both to the face value pre
scribed by law; but if not, then it was
the plain duty of the board to either sus
tain the assessor or raise his figures until
they bore the same proportion to the
railroad's true value that his assessment
of other property bore to its true cash
value. It seems to us that there is no
escape from this conclusion.
The purported transfer of the A & C.
road to the Northern Pacific revealed the
fact that that road is valued at ?S3,000
per mile, ;.d is paying six per cent in
terest on that amount. Farm lands aloii):
the line of that road are atcv-J at aliout
three-fourth; of their actual cash value.
Apply this rule to the railroad cum pan-!
ies and we would have an ai-e-smonl of
37,.!.00 per mile. But Assessor Laws

Defends the Reduction of
in Columbia County,
was, in our judgment, rather too lenient
with tlx corporations. lie assessed
thrm nt 1S,000 per niilr, and their at
torneys immediately made a roar, and
wo two told b some that unless we do
ss the corporations desire they will have
the big ferry boat assessed in Washing
ton instead of in Origtn. This ia the
corporation programme threats on one
hand nnd favorsou theother. Anything
to escape paying their just share of tho
public burdens.
This is tho great issue befoifl the peo
ple to day. It trnuscv-tids all other pub
lic questions in its importance ami it is
pressing lor settlement in both the lovtit
and national fields.
We ate told that if tho assessment
were higher tho company would resent
it and tsko the matter into the courts.
We quote from a pamphlet on assess
ment and taxation a portion of an ad
dress delivered by Charles P. strain, as
sessor of Umatilla Countv, when this
matter of railroad assessment was before
the County Board of Equalisation of that
county;
"The officers ol this company know,
and I know, aud you can know, that
their road in this county is assessed at
less than ouo-third its full value.
"I assert without fear of successful
contradiction that ninety out of every
one hundred taxpayers have belter
grounds for resitting their assessment
than this corporation.
"L'poli what grounds, then, can this
court remove front this corporation its
taxes and place them upon the shoulders
of resident taxpayers?
"I assert that it not only seeks to
evade its tax. It does worse. It strikes
at the foundation of representative gov
ernment. "The logic of their position is that,
hik ing been favored in the past, they art
entitled to an everlasting continuant of
the same treatment.
"Sirs, you have no more moral right
to red lie i the aseejsnient upon this com
pany's property below one-third its full
value than you have to abstract the
money from the pockets of ono man and
empty it into those of another. Mr.
Strain was assessing property in Uma
tilla County that year at one-third its
full value.)
"Gentlemen, it is np to you. It is for
you to decide whither this corporation
shall pay its own taxes or whether the
public shall be made to pat them."
Mr. Strain was sustained by the court
ami the railroad company appealed, first
to the circuit court and then to the Su
preme Conrt. They were beaten and
compelled to pa their taxes.
Mr. Strain aim "I aimed to assess
property at one-third of its full value,
hence I considered that company's rouJ-
bed worth t3G,000 per mile."
Is tl ere any poefiWo argument that
can evade these facts and figures and
jnstify Columbia County's board of
ciiiniiianuii in reuurina me ranroiiu s i
