John Leland Henderson (INCORPORATED) Old Butler Bank Building Hood River, Oregon UNFAIRNESS DENIED BY ASSESSOR LUCAS Believing that he has been placed In a false position by an article that recently appeared lu the Journal, J P. Lucas makes the following state ment in that paper: "To the Editor of the Journal My attention has been called to an arti cle In your Issue of Sunday, the 16th Instant, In which your correspondent from Hood Klver refers to my ac tions as county assessor of said county in a manner that I cannot Ignore. He refers to one 'W. H. Mar shall, a prominent fruit grower aud real estate dealer' as filing a griev ance against my manner or assessing the Upper Valley and giving alleged valuations that I directed a deputy named Diuimlck to place on such property, and alleging that I directed Dimiuick to assess all property in his district except that belonging to the Oregon Lumlrer company. "He further alleges that Marshall's statement caused a sensation. The facts are that when I found that my regular deputy, for lack of me could not cover the territory assigned to him, I secured the ser vices of Dimiuick to assess the 'upper valley,' consisting of about one and a half townships. We discussed proper valuations and I advised him of Instructions given the regular deputy as to valu ations to be placed on the 'lower valley' property, and told him that he should assess property In his ter ritory at a much lower figure, owing to remoteness from market. Dlm mlck, In fact, set his own figures on those lands which I greatly reduced. As to the chnrge that I directed said Dlmmlck to assess all property except that of the Oregon Lumlrer Company, I will say that he asked me what he should do with those lauds and I simply suggested that nasuiucb as there was but a small acrenge in tils territory and the large bulk of their lauds were In the territory of my regular deputy, that he might wait until coming Into the office when al! could Ire assessed. Further I will say that I never at any time had any conversation with any person connected with the Ore gon Lumber Company until long after Dlmmlck had assessed their lands, he and the manager of the company having agreed ou most valuations. I will say that there has at no time been any Intention to discrimi nate in any way for or against any one. "Mr. Marshall assured me that he bad no thought of criticising my ac tions In the matter. His name does not appear as a taxpayer lu Hood River county. J, P. Litas, County Assessor." Showed no Partiality Editor News: I notice an article in the News from W. H. Marshall In regard to the tax assessment In the l'pper Valley. As I am acquainted with the facts lu this matter 1 wish to say, First Mr. Marshall's name does not appear on the tax roll. It Is to be presumed, therefore that he does not pay auy taxes, Secoud It was Mr. Lucas' Inten tion to assess all the large proper ties In the valley himself, but owing to the fact that he had too much to take care of instructed me later to assess the lands of the Oregon Lum lrer Company, the valuations of which were the same as those id ad joining properties of similar charac ter. As to Mr. Marshall's remark "that there might Ire a very good reason" for Mr. Lucas' assessment of the Ore gon Lumtrer Company's property, any insinuation ngalnst the lutegrlty of the latter is highly unjust. Mr. Lucas' reason for wanting to assess the property himself was because he had all the maps, figures, statistics and other Information. If Marshall had figured the differ ence Iret ween uncleared timber land ami land planted to orchard as la does when selling orchard land we believe he would have admitted it would not lie right to assess any tlmtriT land at a higher rate than any other simply Irecause It was owned by a corporation. Everyone has the same right to sell their tlni-Is-r as a corporation, but If an owner prefers to burn his timber to selling It, It should make no difference In assessing It. Marshall certainly has a grouch on but not tiecMiise he pays any taxes, or was over-assessed, Is-eause as stated above, Marshall dues not pay one cent for taxes In this county. .Mr. Marshall should have made his com plaint. If he Is entitled to one. Iwfore the board of equalization Instead of going Into print. Gko, W. Dimmk k. Whether it is Just a Little Powder y ?
