IUifiiiiK a Htate revenue parti ally at leuMt througli taxation of the gross caniingR of telephone, telegraph, nnd kindred lines of biwincHS is praetiejil.antl we believe should become a law. A tele phone ibtclf con but little, but the income is from forty to seventy-five dolluiu a year. The Portland bridges probably cost 100,000 each, but the income is possibly $100 n tiny, and the fran chise prevents complet ion, as does the patent in the caso of tho tele phone. Hy all mentis tax those lines of business on their earnings. Oregon has only about 100,000, 000 worth of property according to our present, tax returns, and yet a true valuation would return throe tiims as much. If we did return that much a small tax levy would lay aside $100,000 each year for the next three years to pay for an ex hibit at tho World's Fair iu 1893. With our present assessment law, public spirit is at such a low ebb that it is doubtful whether we can got anyono to even appear and ask for any money. With a paltry ono third valuation our taxpayers look at what the state tax would bo and a vigorous protest would bo enter ed. No, you ciiu't get Oregon out of the ruts until you improve the laws and the unfortunate thing is that if the present law is improved at the coming legislature it will be too late to help tho exhibit at the World's Fair.

We have seen the evil elffcls of t In law for years. It is by comparison th;tt our laws will not War scru tiny. They uppcar to I all right, but it is saitl the Oivgouiaim are unusually dishonest, which is no more hue than those living iu tho iihci states are dishonest. Our people are not to blatm but our laws. We am perused of lacking in enterprise, but our laws are more to blame for such a state of affairs than the people. You can mike laws s tying what men shall min do; but you cannot make laws stu'iug what they shall do. Kuril laws are always a failure. A state bo.nd of etpmlixatiou which could furnish each con my with maps for assessment use would be a valuable aid lu assessment, A perfis-t system of iu.ijs, with latest government surveys, and copies furnished by the best Hud cheapest means for reproducing could be done much more economically by the state than by individuals. If Polk county had a map of each precinct, iu which the farm lands were all named and valued, nntl town lots numU'red uud valued, and one of these were to lu returned to the county court nnd the oilier, a dupli cate, to tin; slate board, it would be impossible for tho counties to de fraud the state, and the work of equalization would 1st compara tively easy. One man on a salary of MM a year could do all the work and lio prepared to intelli geully advise the stale board at its annual meetings. Wo favor the state board being required to pre pare the maps for valuation of real estate in etch county, aud have a resident secretary at. the capital to assist and instruct assessors, i . An immense amount of domi gogery is indulged in by some jour nals trying to tell the farmers that the repeal of the mortgage tax law means the doubling of th-ir taxes. It Is pure douutgogery bmiuso t he farmers of Oregon lire not the debtor class. Looking over the tax li.stt of Oregon it will ho seen that according to the tax rolls the farmer are tho very ones least in debt, and the ones holding the most mortgages. In tho cities you find an immense amount of in debtedness deducted and few mort gages of record. What is t he real effect of tho mnrlgago tax lawt Why, its effect is to confine loans to the cities and towns where mortgage tiro not necessary. The reason why Portland to day cares so little for the country outside of Portland is that Portland has no money interests there. She ha more moneyed interests iu Wash ington. .Shall this stale of nffnirs continue! Portland drains the profit from all of Oregon nnd then Invests tho money in Washington. Is it not a libel on our state! .1 NEW TAX LAW. At ihe lust session of the Oregon legislature ft committee was ap pointed to draft a tax law which .should be in proper shape to be presented to tho coming session. Last week tho session of this board at Salem ended. The result of its deliberations is a bill of some fitly pages. Tho bill is ono to be care fully discussed; and when once placed on its pa-wigo it should be free from any vague and bungling sections advantage which will be taken by those who are ever ready at all times under all laws to evade thoir just burdens. Tho outline of tho bill covers tho following points; Each county is to be divided into precincts ami preulnot assessors do tho precinct work, which is to be completed by May 15th of each RANGES!

A STMK I1HAU1) Ol Eyl'M.tZA- nos. The bill w hich is to lie presented to the forthcoming legislature pro vides that there shall be a board of cluuli.atioii, which shall examine the tax rolls from the several coun ties and equalize the values placed ou taxable properly returned. Thus far the intent of the bill is eominendnblo but it does not go far enough. If a board of equaliza tion is to be of any value it must have such information at hand as shall enable it to net intelligently, and when tho tax rolls of the twenty-nine counties of Oregon are pl aced before the commission they simply have before them an u.xay of aiwtract figures, and can form but little idea of wneiuerthe assess- ineni is ion liign or ioo low. me same difficulty confronts tho stale board that confronts the coau.y board. No system is lu uso. for comparing in nn easy manner aud secinir whether taxes are equal. If Mr. Jones, we will say, is iwses-rd as ho thinks, too high, the county board can lower it, but unless Mr. Jones complains, they do not do so, In liko manner tho state board will probably iu certain cases raise the assessment of a county, but aro very likely not to lower it. The present law, aud very pro bably the new law, requires that all assessments shall be from maps upon which the values of land shall be written. Outside of Multnomah county wo know of no counties fol lowing tho present law in this re spect, and ono of the reasons is that the expense is too great. This fault might be removed by making the state board more t Imn aboard to sit onco a year, and go througa the form of equalizing, but create in it a permanent board with ii salaried secretary, with competent assistants. Let this board furnish to each county, at the stat; ex pense, full and complete township and town plat books for assessment use, also copies of such maps for precinct assessors use, eorre!cd each year up to some certain month, say January preceding. Let precinct assessors ou said maps return tho values of all lands and lots without improvements, to the secretary of the board, and in this way tho board would have tho same information that the county tuvespor would have, and at the same time could build up a better system of county assessment. An investigation of tho needs in our county assessment of somo systoni whereby land values may be re turned on the map instead of by descriptions will bo apparent to anyone who will examine tho ques tion. The slate can furnish the maps more cheaply than can each county, and the state board would then have such a system of estab lishing land values, that an intelli gent work of equalization could be' done.
