16 THE MORNING OBEGONIAN, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1905. COMPARISON OF iSESSMEHT Sample Valuations Under the Raises Made by 'Sigler. TAX RATE IS MULTIPLIED Most Noteworthy Increases Are In . Washington - Street Realty, . Where, in Some Instances, ' Gain Is Six-Fold. "With" the new assessment roll spread open, so that .taxpayers might seek there in or errors, the County Board of Equal ization in the' County Court room yes terday began a session which -will last a week, and in the course of the day was visited by many property-owners, some of whom devoted themselves only to scan ning the new plan of cash values, and others to the task of finding how they themselves were assessed heavier than tfreir next-door neighbors. The board Is composed of L. R. "Web ster. County Judge: F. 8. Fields, County Clerk, and 8. D. Sigler. County Assessor. Mr. -Fields and Mr. Sigler were in attend ance all day, the latter explaining valua tions and Mr. Fields placing protests on file. The law empowers the board "to make the proper corrections, if it shall appear that there are any lands or other property assessed twice or in the name of a nerson or nersons not the owner thereof, or assessed under or beyond the actual value, or any lands or other property not assessed. ... Said board shall not Increase the valuation of any property so assessed, without giving to the person in whose name it is assessed at least three days in which to appear and show cause, if any he has, why the valuation of his assessable property, or fcomo part thereof, to be specified in such notice, shall not be increased." Complaints Not Numerous. Despite the new plan of cash-value as sessments, put in practice 'by Assessor Sigler for the first time, thereby doubling and ebllng, and sometimes even more than quadrupling the valuations of indi vidual properties, Mr. Fields said there were no more complaints than last year, and Mr. Sigler remarked that a number of business men had told him voluntarily that the new system was right and prop er. However, loud protests undoubtedly will go up from land-owners, who will not take kindly to the new method, or who will think their property assessed dispro portionately with their neighbors'. The Northern Pacific Railroad yes terday filed a protest against the per sonal assessment made against its property, which Is $331,600, or three times as large as last year's. Other protesters were a number of second hand merchants, who alleged that their stocks were assessed too high. Jacob Rosenthal went before the Board to declare the $50,000 assess ment against his stock of shoe goods excessive and to take oath that the actual value was not more than $11, 000. Owing to the protest of one laun dryman, all the laundries in the city were directed to send representatives before the Board. Some Sample Comparisons. The most noteworthy increases are noted on Washington-street realty, where the new assessments in some cases are four, five or six times as large as last year's. Onthe average, assessments on realty have "been trebled and those on buildings and Improvements doubled. This has in creased the tax burden of realty In the heart of the city which holds cheap buildings or none at alL The following are sample assess ments for 1904 and 1905 on realty and buildings in the busy parts of the city: 1004. 1005.

Several large firms, however, had representatives present, and will probably be heard trom later. The most Important complaint was that made by the Northern Pacific Company, asking Ahat its property in this county, not including right of way, track and rolling stock, be assessed at J126.763. in stead of $486,160, the valuation given it i by Assessor Sigler. The valuation set "forth in last year's list was $SW40. The company also wishes the fixing of $17,000 a mile upon its right of way .nd track reduced to $7920. and the figure of $3000 a mile upon its rolling stock cut down to $1056. , Other Important complaints came from local merchants, wholleged that the value of their goods had been r overesti mated. Jacob Rosenthal stated that the value of his stock of merchandise Is $11,500. whereas the Assessor's figures place It at $S5,300. S. & L. Freedman wish their assessment to be reduced from $25,000 to $5000. and C. K. Winslow & Com pany assert that their property is worth $27,500, not $47,500,' as it appears on the list. Jacob Lesser ttiought that $5600 was a correct valuation for his property. Instead of $15,000, and several others asked reductions In the same proportion. Among the other complainants were the Columbia Phonograph Company. H. Bau man and the Oregon & Washington Lum ber Company. There are few cases where the com planants allege unjust discrimination, specifying wherein the discrimination lies. Many property-owners did not realize that the assessment this year was based upon the actual value of the property, and came before the Board of Equalization with complaints simply because their as sessment was higher than last year. After considering the situation as many as half of these left with their complaints unfiled. One laundryma'n appeared before the board and asserted that he had no com plaint to make about his own assessment, but that his competitors had been as sessed too low. After discussing the matter It was decided to call ameetlng of all the laundrymen of the city for next Friday, when the assessments will be considered and a rate established which will be fair to all. AD MEN HOLD COUNCIL Most Important Objection to Raises Comes From Northern Pacific Railroad Company. Fifty-six complaints of over-assessment were filed with the County Board of "Equalization yesterday, which was the first day of a week's session. Last year the number of complaints filed with the board upon the first day was 29. The members of the board are Assessor Sigler, County Clerk Fields and County Judge Webster. Judge Webster was out of the city yesterday and no action will be taken In the matter of. readjusting the as sessment prior to his- return. The county courtroom where the board met was crowded all day "with property .owners who resented -Ibe high values Will Be Well Represented at the Seattle Convention. A regular schedule of rates for the writ ing of advertisements will be adopted In Portland, If the suggestion of President Whlttler, of the Ad Men's League, is car ried to Its conclusion. The proposition was brought up at the meeting of the league In the tower-room of the Chamber of Commerce building last night, and was favored by a majority of the members present. The plan la to adopt a uniform rate of charging 'for all work done by members of the league. It was thorough ly discussed and supported as a incisure which would prevent the cutting of rates among the writers of advertisements and bring good results to all who are engaged In thls,,occupatlon In Portland. No 'action was taken, .but the matter will come up for further discussion at a future meet ing. Plans are being made by the league to be well represented at the convention of Pacific Coast ad men, which is to be held at Seattle. October 23 and 24. A very cor dial invitation has been received from the Seattle organization, and it is hoped to send at least ten delegates from Port land. A communication was also received from the St. Louis ad men. Inviting the Portland league to be represented at a meeting which is to be held in Chicago October 12-14 for the purpose of organ izing a national association of advertisers. As ad-wrltlng Is comparatively new as a profession, no such organization has yet been formed. The local men favor the movement, and authorized President Whlttler to appoint u delegate to this meeting. A change was made in the by-laws of the league In regard to the number of negative votes necessary, to disqualify a candidate ior membership. Heretofore if one-third of the number of votes cast was negative, the candidate was rejected, no matter how many members were In at tendance. The new rule provides that if 15 members or fewer are present, one third negative votes reject; If more than 15 are present, five votes reject. Ten-Hour Law Test Curt Muller. proprietor of' the Grand Laundry, who Is charged with compelling Mrs. E. Gotcher to work In his place of "business more than ten hours a day. says he will test the law in the Supreme Court. He was arraigned yesterday before Judge Frazer. and pleaded not guilty. The trial was set for October 13. ' W. D. Fenton and J. T. Geisler appeared as counsel for Mr. Muller. Speaking for his client, Mr. Geisler said: "I consider the purpose of the law In question a wholesome one, and so must every fair-minded person; and I shall per sonally refuse to takepart In any defense which Is designed to" thwart such pur pose. But te law as enacted is" mani festly Impractical, viewing the same as employe or employer, and It is besides very vulnerable. To prove this condition and the necessity for revising the act, my client may be compelled to make this a test case. If he does so It will be for the benefit of all concerned- L however, shall urge that" the organization repre senting female employes, and the em ployers, appoint committees to confer on this matter. I am sure if properly pre sented both sides would agree upon and adopt some fair rules for governing em ployers at present and draft a better stat ute for the actual accomplishment of th endin view." Demands Damages for Injuries. The second trial of the suit of Henry Vlohl against he North Pacific Lum ber Company for $10.00v damages was begun In Judge Sears' court yesterday, and will be continued today. On May 9, 1903, Vlohl was employed In defendants' mill as an off-bearer. His foot was caught In a cog: wheel and his heel was torn off and his ankfe was crushed. He is crippled for life, and says tho company is to blame because it allowed the cog wheel to become covered and surrounded w!th slabwood, and the wheel was therefore not noticeable. Tho ease was previously tried and the lum ber company was granted a nonsuit. The-Supreme Court roversed'this order and granted u new trial. Governor Chamberlain and Warren E. Thomas appear as attorneys foj- Vlohl, and W. D. Fenton and R. A, Lelter for the "defense. Children Arrive Unattended. Hilda Johnson, a chaperone aged 13 years, and Arvld Martin, aged 6. both from .Butte. Montana, were noticed at the Union Depot yesterday by the work ers of the Travelers' Aid and taken to headquarters as lost. According to the story told by the llttlo tourists when questioned at the head quarters of the organisation, tickets had been bought for them by relatives in Butte and they were started on the train for Portland. It was the understanding that the smaller of the two would be taken care of by Mrs. William Carlson, an aunt, at Albany, but in the meantime the boy and the girl are both In the care of the Travelers' Aid at 109& Sixth street, where they will be kept nntll something has been learned of their case. Chamberlain' Cesffh Rexnedj-. This is a medicine of great worth and merit. Try It when you have a cough or cold and you are certain to be pleased with the quick relief which It affords. It is pleasant to take and can always be depended upon. For sale by all druggist.
