FOR EQUITABLE TAX,
Slate Commlitlon Propoaaa Revision
of Present Law,
HhIhiii With a view to securing a
more equitable asreument ol property
n Dili slate, Hie Urrgon Tai commit-
slon has recommended a revision ol the
law governing the equalisation ol aa-
semuienti by the county board. 'In
thll connection, the coraniiision gives
Its fist disapproval to th plan often
agitated of having the assessment rolls
published In the newspapers in the
locality in which tha property assessed
is h eated.
The proposed revision of t ie law re
lating to tqial nation ol the aasesa
ment is largely based npin incoosisten
cles in the present law, hot also apon a
laxity In tha law by which wealthy
property owners have been able lo co
erce county ourts Into allowing an In
equitable aenestmeat to stand. The
commission proposes a law wbicb leeran
to have "teeth In It." and wnich will
be effective if comfy ofllcen are die
posed to do their duty.
The Inconsistency In tha present law
lie. in the lact that the county board
ol rotialititlon Is required to meet on
the hut Monday In August, while the
assrator Is given nntil tba first Monday
in Neptember to file Mi roll, or until
the first Monday In October if tbe
comity court n'akea an order to that
rffrrt. At the lama lime there la no
authority of law for an extension ol the
time of meeting ol the county board 01
euuallratlon.
A.MMSors nsnally take the lull lime
lo prepare their rolls, and very Ire
uannllv uk for and are granted tbe
extension of time. Commenting upon
this condition ol the lsa, tha commla
ston ssys that "the hot rd ol equalise
lion Is thus required to tniet perhaps
six weeks before the aseeeeou-nt roll is
completed, and as Its functions lapse
wLen it baa been in session a aeea, 11
must have passed out ol legal existence
at a date before the aaeeeeor la required
to have tha assessment roll ready to
eons Use.
"Under the on-sent system we uave
oi.cticallv two boards ol equalisation,'
savi tne commission, one uimmu
alter tbe other, and having lull power
to undo tba work ol ita predecessor
Th. rounlv board ol r qualixation con
Unties in seesion one week, and It It
does not complete It. work within th.
ek. the county court, at tt next reg
nlmr if union, complete the examina
tl m i.d correction ol tha roll.
The new law i to do away with thl
making prevision lor the board meetin
ft.T tlm roll Is completed.
This proposed law contains several
nrov ialona that seem to be an Improve-
no,,! nnnn the existing: law. In tba
Aral niece, a taxpayer will not go befoi
the count board ol equalisation unless
) liu . leil arlevance. for tbe court
tin nnwir to raise his assessment, an
lil formal petition will aerva to call
the attention ol bia neighbors and tba
public generally to the repieteotattone
i.. l. m.kliiB governing tha value ol Hi
property. I'lacing the matter ol equal
lutlon ent hely in tbe linndi 01 on
board Instead ol two will centralise the
responsibilty and give tima and oppor
tunity for careful and well advised
wotk.
Fira Precautions at Asylum
S.lem Lest friend and relative, ol

LAW UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
Household Good Not Entitled to Ex
emption, Say. Supreme Court.
Bilem By holding, in a dec'.ion Just
rendered, that lha householder' tax
exemption i. unconstitutional, tba Ore
iron Huorems court has declared void
statute tl at has been in lotos in this
tale almost continuously line 186V.
Householders' exemption bar been
allowed every year except 1904, when
the exemption law had been repeaieo.
It was re-enacted by tbe special seesion
ol 1903, but went into effect too late
to be applicable to the aeweament ol
1904.
Approximately 88,000,000 ba been
exerroted from taxation in this state
from Teir to year, and legiaiaiore
. , ii-
county omrera ata me peopie geosrau
have recognised tbe exemption as valid.
Now the Supreme court ba declared ail
bene exemption! invalid.
Thll decision will mike It necessary
for county asaersor. In many couotlas
to mike a reassessment ol property in
their countie lor 1900, for it I the
practice ol many assessors not to Hit
property that is exempt. In some and
perhaps moat ol tbe countie theasstsa-
ors lift tbe exempt property and make
Hie deductions afterward.
