Uist year the railroads and public ut-

of their estimated actual value, which l
means that they paid taxes tiniej
as heavily as did the Huwley Com

It was also reported to. the Stale

This would be a IB per cent basis us
against 4U per cent for tho railroad:

These queer figures were typical of
many that were brought out at tin;
ratio hearings in Salem. Other figures
are:
Many timber companies are paying
$100 taxes a year on each quarter-
section of timber land. It is a race
between the taxgatherers and the
sawmills to see who will get tho value
out of the timber
Cattle, banks, railroads and public
utilities are uHsessed at about double
the ration of farm lands and residence
property. The reason aparcntly is that
market reports, bank statement and
public utility statements aro public
property, enabling the .assessment -officials
to capture a larger proportion
of value from these 'riwy marks of
taxation" than from farms nd reslden
ccs, the real value of which is not ob

Some merchants are assessed up to
