If all would make an accurate fifty
per cent assessment it would be an
easy matter for the board of equal
ization to adjust. But the trouble
jg that when we once depart from
the law, then it becomes a matter of
individual judgment, and we have
as many standards as assessors, and
equalization becomes a farce. Ail
owners realize that there is no
equality; that a premium is offered
on dishonesty. Hence the necessity
of caring for no one. Some of our
property is assessed for three times
its value, but most of it at less than
half.
The injustice of the system is its
strongest condemnation, but it is
not less disastrous from a commer
cial standpoint. In a f irmer articl ;
I mentioned its bad effects as poor
advertising. I will now notice how
it may easily curse us in our efforts
at road improvement.
The joint committee on federal
aid in the construction of post roads,
of which ex-Senator Bourne is chair
man, has formulated a plan which
will perhaps be sdopted governing
federal aid. The plan is for the
general government to guarantee
one billion dollars of road bonds, the
amount guaranteed to each state to
be determined by the assessed valu
ation of its property. So if the
property of the state is assessed at
fifty cents on the dollar, our appor
tionment of bonds would corres
pond. We would receive just one
half the amount of bonds to which
we would be entitled.
As the Bulletin's criticism of a
i former letter of mine was about as
meritorious as the one regarding
my ideas of assessment, I shall not
notice them, as my efforts are not
intended for the amusement of
children, but on the contrary they
are the result of a sincere desire to
get the grown-up folk to thhking.
If we follow the law, it will result
in more contentment, more prosper
ity, and a blessing to the good road
movement. If we assess our prop-
perty at less than cash value, we
I destroy our credit to just that ex
j tent. The first thing the county
j court should do is to lay the proper
j foundation, a legal, a systematic
equalization; and the only way it
will ever be done is to follow the

is really a dish for an epicure especially if you buy the "finney"
from us. All our fish have the habit of coming straight here
from their native element without hanging around elsewhere,
losing their freshness and ' flavor. Shell-Fish a specialty in the
season, but we keep nothing out of season, so you are always sure
of a sweet smell here. Moderate prices, too,

The Bend Bulletin holds that the
idea of a cash valuation for assess
ment a legal assessment is chim
erical. Perhaps if Editor Putnam
knew more of the subject and its
importance, it would not seem so
chimerical.
The statute plainly says that all
property, real and personal, shall be
assessed at its full cash value. If
the idea of using the legal standard
is chimerical, then not only Judge
Springer, but a big majority of the
county judges of the state are suf
fering from the same malady, as
the following resolution, which was
adopted almost unanimously at the
recent state commissioners' conven
tion, will prove:
Resolved, That the property of
the state should be assessed at s
full cash value, and that the state
tax commission be and is hereby in
structed to work to that end, and
that said commission be and is here
by assured of the hearty co-operation
of this association that end.
So Springer is simply trying to
carry out the legal policy as ex
pressed by almost a unanimous vote
of his fellows in which he concurred,
and he would greatly appreciate
more gray matter and less air in its
consideration. Any one who has
had experience in wrestling with ap
plications for rebates because of
wrongful assessment.will appreciate
the necessity of having all assessors
and boards of equalization use a
uniform standard. No board can
equalize values while using a ficti
tious standard. It inevitbly leads
to confusion.
