FRIDAY. 1ULY 18, WO-
Idaho in assuming the rwnoiml
bility of statehood July 4th, did so
with loss than one hundred thou
sand population.
Lot us have product assessors;
lot the huul Ite iiAsossed and not the
individual; lot no iitduutoduess be
deducted, and then perhaps wo
may have more nearly equal taxes.
The prospects for a bountiful
harvest in Tolk county are most
ilattering. These late ruins brought
out the grain wonderfully. Should
the war rumors affect the market
and the price of wheat be seventy
five cents a bushel money in Polk
county will be very easy.
One great competitor of the far
mer is the almost universal use of
steam and electricity in place of
horses in our cities. It mini res no
hay or oats for feed, horses or
mules for power, or leather for
harness. Those are all products of
the farm, and as the greatest de
velopment of electricity is hi
America, so Is this failing market
most felt here.
OUR ADVANTAGES.
at least seventy-five rooms,
The town is located on the line of
the Southern Pacific railroad from
Portland to Corvallis. The prom
ised extension of that road to
Newport, Whenever (ho Astoria
railroad is built from Albany it
must puss through the town, which
will also make It another railroad
crossing.
Whether wo look at our present
or our future, in either case It looks
bright. There is now building the
flno brick of the luiloomnhmee
National bank and the one hun
dred barrel (louring mill, and soon
the Ui,(XH) school building will be
commenced.' The employment of
front forty to sixty men during the
whole year will add to our pros
perity, and as the other enterprises
ait) developed, more manufactures
will center here. Our people should
view the sit ual ion as it now exists
and offer words of encouragement
to every stranger. Let us have
elect rio lights, water works, mid
other improvements. Let us have
plenty of good sidewalks and
graded streets, The future, has
plenty in store for us, and let us
build upon it, Let ii"ut ami tasty
dwellings be erected. l.ct us make
our town be known to the outside
world. Let ns advertise ourselves,
A standing advertisement in jour
home paper, keeping these advant
ages More the public will bo a
paying investment. Let us not be
afraid to invite the stranger to in
vest his money with us. If we
expect to prosper we must let the
outside world known of your ad
vantages. Yon need not c.Mct
that others will recognize our ml
vantupw if we do not sound our
own praises. The only way to suc
ceed is by advertising.
ASSESSMENTS.
The Wkst Hun: does not llml
fault with the man who, under the
exisiting laws, pays as little tax us
possible since the action of the law
is so unequal that if such is not
done ruin will result, to men who
are now wealthy. When however
a man of wealth by means of our
tax laws covers no his wealth
and pays taxes on only a smidl
part we do not think he might pay
that part without forever giiuuli
ling. Wo have said considerable,
on this subject of taxation, but we
do not do it on personal grounds.
The present law is a poor one, one
which is damaging our state thous
ands of dollars annually. The resi
dents of Polk county are not the
only ones believing this. The
wealthy men of Portland are just
as ready to evade taxes. Here is
what the Mercury has to say on the
subject:
Upon tho returns on file, we
notice that our banker fellow citi-
iteu, Mm. . hum, perhaps stimu
lated thereto by a stirring of con
science that induce him to occa
sionally aid churches, has (level
oped into being the very Magnus
Croesus of our Portland taxpayers.
His assesment for .IS.MMM is more
than double his returns of late
assessments, and is now ou record
for tTKi.WO, which is perhaps
nearly a fifth of what he is worth
on a statutory basis for taxation, or
that his executors would put in
probate.
Next in tho line of this order of
assessemeiit is that of the hanker
It. W. Corbel t. ulwi i-t il.mii f, ..
and consequently ; the indefinite aggregatenf KrJ '.-.
which holds a . like proportion to
the Ladd assessment from a statu
tory basis. His partner, Henry
Failing, is of somewhat less mom:
tary pretension, being booked for
the comfortable sum of :n!l,2:.'l.
with an "indebtedness within the
state'' of rv;m.
Following in like contrast is the
assessed M. F. Mulkey estate,
which is assessed at 1:1,000 though
probated for less than half its value
at about four times that amount.
. Next i n t hat same range of assess
ment is that of the late Charles K.
Nitton, for l.HSil !K), w hose aggro
for all proper! v
Whcu strangers visit our city
they are naturally inclined to ask
two questions. The first one is
what are your future prospects?
The second one what can I do to
make a livinct No matter what
the prospects may be of a town thi
opening must be found w hich will
employ the man in his particular
business. If he has no particular
line, then he must find the opening
himself. Every mun in order to
make a living must do so through
his own abilities which no one can
supply him. Many times a man
will embark in a ucw line of busi
ness because he sets a favorable
opening. If he sees that the town
has a future he will lie more apt to
invest, depending upon the advan
tages which he may gain by being
"on the ground" first. The ques
tion then of most importance to be
answered is icktt m our future?
Independence is now a tow n of
several hundred population, vari
ously estimated at from fifteen, to
seventeen hundred. Is it destined
to grow and become a town of four
thousand people or has it reached
the limit of its growth? That future
depends upon its people, whether
they are enterprising, and its lo
cation, whether it . is favorable.
Presuming, which is true, that we
have the usual amount of enter
prise among our people, what about
our location? We have a good
saw mill and the active demand for
lumber proves that it is a good
poi nt for that 1 i ue of busi ness. The
storage here yearly of from one
fifth to a quarter million bushels of
grain, proves that it is a good point
for warehousing,
the erection here "of the one hun
dred barrel flouring mill will prove
to be a wise move. Then the num
ber of school children, nearly four
hundred, proves that we need a
good school building such us is
about to be built. But this is not
all. The amount of transient travel
demands a good substantial hotel,
a permanent building, adapted not
only for accommodating the regu
lar trade but an increased transient
of a better paying quality. The
location is a good one for a hotel of j gate assessment
amount, ImUi)h' being president of;
seventeen imrtlis.
Our worthy mayor, Van Jeludi.
mutt, nit hough tho president ot ten
National bunks less than Thomp
son, is but iHooo behind him In
assessment on the roll, though he
could "cash In" bis real estate for
a figure quite up to the would be
governor.
There is another bunker and real
estate magnate that is not least
among them, in the person of the
burly and genial Frank Hokum,
whoso taxable assessment isl,
'.'(M), though his st vend blocks
about 'First mid. Washington streets
will bring his estate up to at least
seven figures ill probate at (we
hope) some distant future.
iy the way, according to the as
sessment roll, It does not appear to
lake mueh capital to run a hank, as
a partner in one of them near the
corner of First and Stark,' nourishes
in the b'isiiiess on a taxable capital
of hut HtUlp. There is anoiher
bank president, ou Fust street who
shows up for neat I v 12, li' ou the
roll. "
Next alter I lie Iwnkcrseomo con
secutively the big and little poli
ticians ou the lax roll. Of these ,1.
N. liolph seems to have struck
"pay dirt" in mining the V. S.
senate, as from nothing ou the tax
roll liv e or six years ago, hp is now
on the assessment roll again for
ftlS.tmt),
,1. It, Montgomery, who would
not close in for less seven figures, is
catalogued on the tax roll in close
company with 0. P. Thump-ton
niul .Mayor IvLisliuiutt, t l.
Joe Simon, the dethroned "hoss
is assessed at It;,'--"", carrying:
Mi.0lHl Imlelitetluew.
These instances of like assess ;
mi nt contrasts prevado the entire j
tax roll, the small properly hold-j
era of the "toiling million'' class
paying more than live times their !
proportion to that of the "upper j
ten thousand." Is such unequal i
assessment to be continued in the!
future as a statutory regulation, as
suggested in our lust?

little advantage, but we are sur Ted JIol man and Councilman Win,
rounded by a productive farming' tTiedner, who own the four nlory
country, which with ordinary en-! quarter block on the Hontheast cor
couracement will center ite trade n"r . ronrui aim vaningioii, re-
at a point whicli has both water
and rail transportation. Within
at least a few mouths this extension
to Junction City will be built.
This fact alone will be to the ad
vantage of the town. Then again
the completion of the motor line
from Independence to Monmouth
brings the town in close connection
with the Narrow Gauge lines, and
also, as tall timber is only a few
miles away, is the beginning of a
logging railroad which will bring
logs direct from timber to a navig
able water way. The very evident
determination of our citizens to
encourage aim eventually duiiu
that road to timber is positive proof
that it will soon be built. As far
as the logging business is concerned
this must be the tcrminous of the
road. Not only will such a road
terminating here prove of advant
age to the town as a logging road,
but it will also draw a large trade
in this direction, all of which
means greater prosperity to the
town. In the no distant future a
railroad will bo extended to the
state capital, Salem, and this will
make the only cross-road between
the east and west side railroad from
Portland. This favorable location
of Falls City as a summer resort
will draw considerable traffic over
the road besides being the start for
a road to that other watering place
cently erected by them at out lay of
$80,000, after infusing (15,000 for
the vacant ground. This property
represents at least 4150,000; and
although the fortunate owners arc
not quite millionaires at present,
by their financial tactics thoy are
heading that way. Of this part
ncrship, Holinan is assessed for
2(1, 00, which is fully offset by in
debtedness, and is consequently
tax proof; and his partner, Plied
nor, is nearly in tho same financial
situation, his entire property being
on the aHsessmiit roll for 128,-
400, with an indebtedness of $20,
000 also leaving taxable only the
pittance of 12100 to represent this
WHShington street and woiilli Port
land property, the hitter of which
is cheap at 180,000, us values un
rated in that quarter of the city.
The result of this assessment and
"indebtedness within the state,"
is, that for all the properly men
tioned, the exchequers of state,
city, county schools, etc , have to
bo satisfied with (he gnawings from
theboneof2-100!
Henry L, Pittock, of the Ore-
!on(in, who is langioiy worth a
half million or more, but appar
ently unconscious of his properly,
is on the roll for 70,250, with an !
indebtedness of .f(i5,500, with a;
taxable remainder of 1750. j
