THEY DISCUSS IT.
THE PLAN OF RAISING PROPER
TY VALUATIONS FOE ASSESS
MENT IN BENTON.
Some do Not Like the PI in, but in
the Main it is Approved Di
ipendson the Assessor
Raise All or Raise
None, They Say. ''
Tfeere is much local discussion
now of valuations in the assess:
saeot. The order of the commis
sioners court requiring all property
to be assessed at its cash value oc
casions the talk. The order itself
is in accordance with the state law,
which specifically sets forth that
all property for purposes of tax
ation shall be assessed at its true
cash value.
So far as heard there is more
favor than objection to the plan of
the commissioner's court in re
tjmrragttie law to be properly ap
plied. The chief fear in the matter
seems to be that the raise to a cash
basis miv not be made to reach all
property- If it does apply to all,
many say much benefit will ac
crue, Ibrthen the taxation will be
come more uniform, and therefore
sskwo just and equitable. Under a
system of low valuations, one man
ts iiis property assessed at
usraca lower valuation tnan does
Ms neighbor. This makes one pay
more, while the other escapes with
less than his just share of the burd
ea. If faowever, every piece of
property is valued at its cash value,
abselsite uniformity will be attained
tfce whole burden of taxation
V7S$1 fee equitably distributed. The
success of the plan is largely in the
lianas of the assessor, and the
people are looking to him, to see
that sf-otae or a dozen pieces of
property is raised to the cash value,
that all shall be similarly valued
Tfee raise ia the valuation does
not mean that more taxes shall be
pud. A raise in value will reduce
theifevy. With double the val
iaticm, but half the lew will be
required- If the total valuation
were this y eat,. double what ' it is,
the levy would be 14 mills instead
of S mills. Newcomers about to
settle in the county would be less
frightened by the levy. Fourteen
more desirable than a 28 mill levy,
-Besides, it about to buy alarm at
$5,000 and on inquiry at the court
' mouse they should discover it to be
assessed at only $2,000, they would
not be seized with the idea that the
seller was about to skin them badly
in the trade. : Thus viewed, the
change in the system of valuations
will be of vast benefit.
Some think more state taxes will
nave to be paid, if valuations are
raised. . This is not true. .. The
state taxes are no longer levied on
a basis of the property valuation
of the county That was once the
law, but it has been changed. The
same is true also of the state school
tax. It was ' formerly a five
mill levy on the property valuation
The late legislature changed it, re
quiring six dollars to be collected
on each child of school age. Ac
cordingly a cash valuation in the as
sessment adds nothing to the am
ount that goes out of the county
for state or state school purposes.
A final fact in connection with a
cash valuation is the effect it ought
to have in bringing money and
notes into assessments. With pro
perty assessed at only one-half
or one-fourth its value, as has
largely been the case, holders of
money and notes have been driven
to avoiding taxation as much as
possible. If they gave in their
JOKWDey or their notes, the latter
were assessed at their full value.
The assessment on $1,000 in cash
was a valuation of $r,ooo. The
'valuation on a piece of land or a
"house reasonably worth $1,000 was
perhaps $300. Money-owners and
note-owners have often been as
sailed for not reporting their as
sessments,' but after all, the know
ledge that they were to be assessed
tm a. fall valuation while other pro
perty went in at less than halt
Ihas unquestionably had a tendency
to keep money and notes from be
ing reported as freely as is likely to
,oe the case under other circum
stances. So, if an attempt is to
be made to bring money and " notes
tunder assessment, au otner pro-
petty should be, for purposes of
taxation, assessed at its true cash
walue: This is the view taken by
Tnost of the who have been heard
Jo discuss the matter.

Washington, March 18. The Or
egon delegation has run bgaiDSt an
unexpected snag in its effort to se
cure the appointment of Dresner as
Reaister of the Oregon City Land
office. More than a week ago it re
cotnme&ded Dresser's appointment,
but the president did not send in
the nomination. This mornirg the
delegation called at the ' White
House to ascertain the cause for the
delay, and the president told the
members he was somewhat embar
rassed. He said that at the time
Bibee was appointed receiver at Or
egon City, Senator Simon had com
plained of being discriminated
against in the distribution of pat
ronage, and that be (the president)
bad promised that Simon could
name the successor to Moores. He
showed the delegation a copy of his
letter to Simon to this effect, and
said his promise had been cabled to
miod since Dresser had been re
commended. It is not improbable -that the
matter may have to be comprom
ised by allowing Moores to continue
in office, as there would be great
opposition by the delgation to the
appointment of George A. Steele,
who was Simon s choice for the
place.
' When the delegation , left the
White House it did not kuow what
action the President would take on
the recommendation.

Philadelphia, March 16. The
policy authorities have directed the
opening of 34 graves, having se
cured evidence which led them to
the belief that George Horsey, the
"herb doctor," is responsible for at
least many of the deaths. Hossey
is in jail as an accessory to the
murder of Wiliiam G. Danze, whose
widow is charged of having admin
istered to her husband a on poison
furnished by the Begro.
"We do not know how many
poisonings can be traced to Hossey,"
paid a police official to day, "but'
thus far we have secured evidence
that has warranted us in directing
the opening of 34 graves. This step
wm begin at once, aDd we believe
the result will show that Assistant
District attorney Shoey was not ex
aggerating when he branded Hoseey
as ao arch poipooer.
This cass is assuming proportions
far beyond the comprehension of
those connected with it at the time
Hossey Was arrested. The real in
vestigation is just beginning, and
before it proceeds much further,
startling developments will crop up.
There may be several .arrest", but
they are not likely ;to ccome uDt 1

have been examined by -the chem
ists." L . " . '
Detectives are searching fur a
white woman who is allegad to have
represented Hossey in the prelimin
ary dealings with his patrocs.
Philadelphia, March 16. Seven
ty letters, written mostly by wo
men, have been found in the home
of George Hos3ey, the negro "herb
doctor," who is accused of being an
accessory to the alleged murder of
William G. Danze. These letters,
which are eaid to be of an incrimin
ating nature, very little in their
ternus, and, it is asserted, show that
Hoss?y charged $100 for every case.
Some of the letters point to pay
ment of the fee in installments.
Washington, May 17.- The sen
ate yesterday ratified ' ihe Panama
canal treaty by a vote ot 73 to 5.
Not a single change was made in
it, and it becomes effective, so far
as the United States is concerned,
just as it was signed.
The only step remaining before
action is possible under il is its rat
ification by the Colombian congress.
After that the president will be
free to appoint the canal commis
ticn, buy the rights of the French
co opany, and begin work.
The senate expects to ratify the
Cuban reciprocity treaty today and
adjourn the special session tonight.
New York, March 17. Two wo
men have been sentenced in the

"I am determined to prevent
such occurrences as this in the fu
ture. If this thing is to be tolerat
ed, how will it be possible for re
spectable women to walk in the
streets without having their ears
and sensibilities shocked. If you
come here again I shall punish you
to th jfull extent of the law."

"If the powers that be," said a con

teach women how to get off a car, but
many of them seem to be unable to
learn such a simple thing as that.
"When they fall and are hurt they
blame us. for it of course. But what
saddens me is the way they resent your
efforts to teach them how to insure
their safety. I turned one woman half

Numerous conflicting estimates hare
been, made of the height of the tower
of Babel, but one fact never has been
denied, and that is that it was a sky
scraper. . St. Jerome, in his commen
tary on Isaiah, says that the tower
was already 4,000 paces high when God
came down to stop the work. A pace
is about 2 feet; therefore 4,000 paces
must be 10,000 feet; consequently Ba
bel was 20. times as high as the Pyra
mids (which are only about 500 feet).
Father Calmet says the tower was 81,-
000 feet high, and that the languages
were confounded because the archi
tects were confounded, as they did
not know how to bring the-building
to a head. Moreover, it i understood
that the Chinese language of to-day
was originally ' the same language as
the high German.
