The land tag men aay that nn.ler the present law water power I not taxa ble. Mr. Stlpp aaya It I. Hla statement follow: I understand that the "Single Tax era" ar claiming that their bill will add much In the way of taxable prop erty by providing for tbe taxing of watr power and franchlaea, and tbat theke thing ara not now taxed. Thla claim waa formerly made to both of these matter, but I believe that they have now with drawn tba claim aa to franchlaea for tna renaon tbat the preaent law pro vide positively that all "franchise and special franchisee" shall be aa- aeased. Tbia water power propoaitlon la used by the single taxera aa a bait to get votfr tar their bill, for that rea son It la Important to know what tha present law la and whether tbe clalma ar Just. Section 3531, UAL (Our present lawa) aay that all property not ex empt shall be assessed and taxed. (I am only giving the substance of the law and I find that water power la not exempli. Section 2552 aaya that land ahall not only Include the land It aelt but everything "appertaining to It." Section 432, Vol. 2. Fa m ham. Water and Water Rlghte, aaya that water and water rlghta ara to be aasessed with the land In connection with which It la uaed and the land la to be asieased with tha added value. I find that the other text-hooka on law and the deris ions hold the aaroe thing. So under our statute tha water la to be assessed with tha land. The duties of the Board of State rommUalonera la denn4 nnder Sec tion 36 1 7. Li. O- L. sub-sections 6 and 6, of which are aa follows: S. To construe the tax and revenue lawa of the 'state whenever requested by any officer acting under such lawa. or by any Interested person, and to Instruct such officer In relation to their duties with reference to assess ments end taxation and collection of public taxea. dues, and revenues. 0 To fue Instruction and direc tion to the County Assessor, County Board of Equllizatlon, County Clerks and Tax Collector aa to the method best calculated to aecure uniformity In the ayatem of assessment and col lection of taxes, to the end that a full cash valuation for asaeeament and taxation of ALL PROPERTY, REAL AND PERSON A I TANGIRUC AND IVTANGinLJS. INCLUDING franchisee nd special franchlaea. also ahall be obtained, and to prescribe blank forma of reporta for that purpose. . Mr. U Hen aay that tha P. R . U ft Company la using and aelling water power In Cnct""i county mat la worth a.' 'aM H.onoono. which la no. and which n-od lawvers gfy cannot. be legallv sesed for taxation under present No rood lawyer ever said that artef havinr ronje a carerui tudy Of te law Sown lawyer In terested In single tax mlaht have aald It for the purpose of promulgating the , single tx theory, or aorre lawyer whose client are Interested In water nower mlaht av the same tVn:. 1 do not believe that the Tax Commla- slon will give any auch onlnlon In ritlng aa Mr. U'Ren aaya they gave him. I am conceited enough to believe hst I ran convince the Sunreme Court r-f this state (if they need con- vlnclne) tbt water power Is assessa ble and taxable under present lawa. Mr. Jack sav that he never Rave any onlnlon that water power wrs not assessable. Certain It la, he never asked any assistance of me In aolv- Inr. thla question. If the Poar.1 of State Tax Commia- aloners say that water power la not assessable or taxable nnder present conditions. It 1 perhaps because tbey do not wish to do ao, or It might add to their Inbor, and ao Is taboo The troth la. the present law 18 adequate and it la only because we have Incompetent officials or Decanse hey are not Interested aa they should be. Tha above assumes the values as stated by Mr. IT Ren to be correct. T said nothing about freak lnwg my- elf and lust why U'Ren mentions me In the conclusion of hla article I Jo ' not know. Information waa received from Port land Saturday that the team the Wa bash Athletic Club would bring to Oregon City today la not the regular Wabash llno-un, bat etars picked from flva- of Portland a faateat elavena. If auch la the cAe Oregon City will cer tainly have her hand full taking car. of the visitor. It la hoped that Wabaah will have tha aame team that played Vancou ver and Folladay. In either eaae the local boys have their work cut out for them. It promises to be tbe beat game here this aeaaoa by far. There are some doubta aa to wheth er "Smiley- suer, tregon cuy a craca right end, will be In the game on ac count of lllneaa In hla family. The local lad had light algnal prac tice Scii'rday night, putting on the finishing touches. The whole team ap pears to be In excellent shape, ready to put o the game of their Uvea. long a foot la In pretty good anape and be will probably be lo bla old position In today'a etruggle. Thla will be big help to the borne team. The field la In fair shape but a cold wind would help acme. If It waa the leadt bit drier tbe play would be fakler. The game will be called at 30 o'clock.
