THE jHOKXJLSG OllJSUOWAJf, SATORDA1', JANUARY 13, 1906. BOTH SIDES OF REN 1H BILL Assessor Sigler Pronounces It Vicious and Pernicious Legislation. GIVES REASONS THEREFOR Jn Defense of the Measure E. Hofer Declares That All the Alleged Faults Are Theories of Technical Experts. That trouble lurks in the tax bill pro posed by the Farmers and Shippers' Con gress, for enactment at the polls next June under the initiative, is the opinion of-B. D. Sigler, Apsessor of Multnomah County: L. B. Webster, County Judge; Frederick W. Mulkey, chairman of the. State Tax Commission, which I? drafting a tax bill for enactment by the Legisla ture, and others familiar with the laws of the state. But E. Hofer, president of the Congress, stands by the bill, declaring that It Is "not open to any serious criticism." Alleged Flaws Pointed Out. The alleged Haws were pointed out in optail in yesterday's Orcgonian. They arise from the failure of the farmers' and shippers' bill expressly to repeal old laws, when enacting new ones in con flict or at variance with them, and from failure to make a separate bill of each KUbject and to give the bill, as it stands, a comprehensive title. "The bill Is vicious and pernicious," de clared Assessor Sigler, "and should never become a law. If enacted, it would add 550.000 every year to the cost of making the Multnomah assassment. The men who drew up the bill were well-meaning enough, but unfamiliar with the details of their work and evidently failed to consult persons wliox were familiar with the details." Sigler Finds Fault. Mr. Sigler asserted that the plan for as sessment of banks and railroads was full of flaws; that the publication of the as sessment roll by precincts would pile up expenses for the enrichment of news papers: that the bill did not allow suffi cient time for making up the assessment roll; and that the bill, by re-enacting the law requiring a 5-mill tax for state schools, would be absurd in Multnomah County, since the total levy In this coun iy this year for bcth state and city schools was only 4.6 mills. These and many other flaws, Mr. Sigler said, ren dered the bill "vicious and pernicious." Judge Webster's Views. Judge Webster took the same view as did Mr. Sigler. though he was not as familiar with the details of the bill. ,Mr. Mulkey had examined the bill close ly, but was unwilling to make any criti cism of it. saying that he did not wish to get into controversy with the framers of the measure. He was induced to say. however, that the title was very likely to prove faulty, and that he doubted that the inclusion of so many diverse subjects oflogislation in one bill would be consti tutional. Statement by 3lulkcy. Mr. Mulkey made the following state ment: I have been ursd to' make a statement with reference to the tax bill submitted by tho Farmers' and Shippers' Congress, to be voted on by the people under the Initiative at the next general election. This 1 have been, and am now, reluctant to do. It is the province of the Tax Commission, and lt individual members, to perform their duty as designated by law and not to become in volved In tho controversies that the efforts of others might cause. Of the vnrlous attempts to reform the tax laws of the, state I have nothing to say. If laws that can solve the various questions of taxation are proposed or enacted, I little care from what source they emanate. 1 would welcome a complete or partial solu tion of taxation propounded by the Farm ers' and Shippers' Congress or any other person or bodies and would gladly resign as a member of the Tax Commission- If our work was supplanted by better and more sat isfactory results. Public Is Cognizant. The Commission has not had a mooting sine the bill of the Congress has been made puunc. ur me time aevotea to tne work and the sources of investigation of the committee that drew the bill I am uninformed. Of Its many defects the public Is now In a measure cognizant But It ill becomes me ta assume the part of the critic before the work of the Commission has been made public. The Commission cannot hope to submit a complete solution of all tax problems. No state has as yet found It. But still, the Commission does have hope of making the tax laws better reach the taxpaying capac ity of the state. It is neither advisable nor desirable to supplant our revenue system by that of another state, in whole or In part, by copying the language without reference to difference of constitutional requirements or remaining statutory provisions. A rev enue law for the state must conform to the peculiar requirements of our constitu tion, not alone as to a taxation, but In other vital matters. Its construction requires time, application and thought. What Remains to Be Seen. Whether the Commission accomplishes re sults yet remains to be seen. Jt Is trying to act with deliberation and the defects (and of course there must be some defects) of Its work, or failure to construct a workable system In harmony with itself and not in violation of constitutional provisions, must be ascribed to a lack of comprehension of the subject rather than Inattention. Mr. Mulkey said that the .bill of the commission would not be finished before July or August. What E. Hofer Says. In defense of the law E. Hofer, of Sa lem, president of the congress, issued the following statement at the capital city: The indirect taxation bill sought to be In itiated by the Farmers' and Shippers Con gresses held at McMlnnville and Woodburn, Is not oen to any serious criticism. The title of the bill is. "A bill for an act to re enact the asetusment and taxation laws of the State of Oregon, Including all existing amendments tbereto." The title then sets out the only changes made In the proposed bill, and they are as follows: Transfers the county poll tax of $1 to the road fund of the county. This tax Is not now collected, except from persons who have a property tax to pay. By transferring It the tax becomes collectable Just the eame as poll tax. Efective in 1910. Changes the eection that does not go Into effect until 1910, which will then make a new. basis for apportioning the state tax to the counties. But as this bill proposes to wipe out the direct state tax, there will be noth ing to apportion If it carries out the wishes of tho committee. Provides for publishing the assessment be fore equalization. This results, In other states, In disclosing hidden personal property and overlooked real estate. It Is notorious that personal property escapes Its Just share of taxes, and publicity is the only remedy. Raises on Insurance. Raises the tax on the grow earnings of in surance companies from 2 to 3 per cent. Twentynve states in the Union now collect si ore than Oregon does. "Why not raise It? Taxes the gross earnings of the telegraph and express and telephone companies. Equalizes the assessment of railroad arop rty so a -to- rcEJOve. the . ccwstaat temptation to furnish litigation by county officials try ing to hold up the railroad companies. Provides for the taxation of special car lines like refrigerator, sleeping and dining cars and oiltank line cars, not owned by the railroad companies. Amends the Inheritance tax law so that all our millionaires cannot escape paying some thing near like what is due the state that Jias protected them all their lives. This bill. If enacted, will produce a half mllllon of revenue annually. Every new fea ture of It In designed to ralw revenue by In direct purposes for earning on the state government- and stop rrcklcfs grafting legisla tures from heaping up nw burden on the taxpayer who cannot escape the Asressor. Technical Experts Find Fault. Neither I nor the committee that cot up the bill claims that Jt Is perfect. The ani ent accumulation of amendment and taxation laws are the work of 40 or 50 years of lrrts latures, none of them perfect. Most of the criticisms of the bill are criticisms of the laws, as they now exist. The committee did not stek to correct all existing lerlslatlon nor to repeal one line of it- The Legislature has hundred of timed repealed acts "and all existing amendments thereto." It has added to many acts the words, "And all acts or parts of acts Inconsistent or In conflict here with are hereby repealed." A Legislature did a little of this sort of thing and comselled the holding of a special season to re-enaot a tax bill passed by an all-wise Legislature. That cost the people $30,000, and now when the sovereign people seek by the. initiative to get rid of an oppressive state tax and make the corporations pay their Just share of the taxes, all the technical export in the tate say it cannot be done. They said the flat salary law could not be enacted, but it was done. Indirect taxation will be enacted by the people, now or later. IKE OFFER TO HURBIHJUI JAPANESE "WANT PACIFIC MAIL'S OKIEXTAIi FLEET. Probable Reason for Railway Mag nate's Recent Trip Across the Ocean. SAX FRANCISCO. Jan. 12. The Exam iner says today: A dispatch from Wash ington states that Consul-Gcnaral Miller at Yokohoma has informed the State De partment that the Toyo Kisen Kalsha, the Japanese steamship company, is ne gotiating to buy the trans-Paclnc line of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company. The message goes on to say that E. H. Harri raan's recent visit to Japan may have had something to do with this proposi tion, and that the Japanese government is behind the intending purchasers. R.

It is true, how ever, that the Toyo Kison Kaisha have made Mr. Harriman an offer and If .Mr. Ilarriman were willing to sell today they would buy him out without the least hes itation. What Mr. Ilarriman's intention in the matter may be I do not pretend to know." The trans-Pacific line of tho Pacific Mall, consists of the steamers Korea, SI beria, Manchuria and Mongolia. Their total cost to tho Pacific Mall Steamship Company in round numbers was SIO.OOV 000. Managing Director M. Shlrashi, of the Japanese Steamship Company. Is now on liis wiry from Brazil to London, and will probably arrive In New York early in March. The supposition is that he is cm lowered to discuss finally with Mr. Har riman the Japanese offer to buy out tho trans-Pacific lino of the Pacific Mail Steamship Company. Dewey Is Seaworthy. NORFOLK, Va.. Jan. 12. The first mall received here from the naval collier cx podition, now towing the floating dry- dock Dewey to the Philippine Islands, brought a letter from Captain J. D. Wood, dated January 3. 200 miles off the Bermuda 'Islands, in which the comman der of the dock Dewey says: "Wc have had favorable winds, made good time and the Dewey's crew is well and happy. We had one little shake-up from the northwest off Cape Hatteras. but the Dewey proved hersolf master of the situation and fared better than any ship In the fleet." Aragonia's Space AH Taken. All the space for the outward trip of the China liner Aragonla, which Is duo here January li, has been engaged, and liberal reservations arc made on the NIco- media and Numantia. which will sail next month. In the -cargo of the Aragonla will be 4000 tons of Oregon flour, an amount slightly larger than the average quan tities that have been shipped to China since the boycott began. Marine Notes.

HEAVY DRAFT ON LEAGUE Byrnes Will Catch for Athletics. Ncalon Goes to Pittsburg Grif fith Gets Whalen, Hitt and Kccfc Schlafly's Berth. CHICAGO.- 111.. Jan. 12.-Special.) Eleven stars of the Pacific Coast League will receive trials in fast company next season. Not In their history have the American and National Leagues made such, heavy Inroads as ihl? year on their recruit of the far Wost. The big league manager has become very partial to the Western balltosser. especially those of the California clubs, and the list of can didates to receive trial In the East grows larger every year. In the present day there Is, a formidable list. Frank Chance. Hal Chase, Sam Mcrte.. Mike Donlin. Elmer Strleklett. Janny Shaw. Orvio Overall and Lumley, the outfielder, first attracted the atten tion of the public while playing on the Coast. Jimmy Byrnes Most Promising. One of the most promising of the 1SW contingent who will be tested In the major leagues Is Jimmy Byrnes, catcher of thp Oakland club, who was drafted by Connie Mack for the Athletics. He Is a cool, strady man, with an arm of steel. He I? expected to develop into a valuable man to help out Schrcck and Powers. Probably the most advertised player of the number is Joe Nealon, first baseman of the San Francisco club, who was draft ed by Pittsburg. The New York Ameri cans. St. Louis Americans and Cincinnati made a great fight to land the player, but Fred Clarke, who was on the ground, by a clever bit of strategy, signed him to a Pittsburg contract after he had agred to go with Cincinnati for a larger wnary. Noalon Is a hard, free hitter, and Is very clever in fielding. He is a big man. weighing close to 200 pounds, but Is said to be as fast as Wagner. In addition. Pittsburg purchased Tommy Sheohan of Tacoma, who Is said to be the best third bancman In the far West. Griffith Takes Three Pitchers. Clarke Griffith succeeded in signing three of the leading pitchers of the cir cuit. They are Jimmy Whalen and Roy Hitt, of San Francisco, and Bobby Kccfc. of Tacoma. Whalen Is regarded as the Mathewson of the Coast. He lia been the Seals mainstay In the box since 1502. when his team won the pennant. He has all sort? of shut-out records to his credit and It is believed that he can make good without difficulty. Hitt Is a young southpaw who has done good work, and Kecfe is said to possess unusually baf fling curves. The St. Louis Americans signed Louis Nordyke, of Tacoma. a hard-hitting first baseman, and "Pub" Bennett, a clever second-sackcr tajcen from Seattle. Graham Goes to Boston. Charlie Graham, captain of the three time pennant-winning Tacoma club, will pluy with the Boston Americans. He is regarded as the heaviest backstop In the West. 'MoHklman. of the Oakland club, signed by the White Sox, is held as the most versatile man who ever played In the Pacific Coast team. He Is .a good pitcher and can play in infield and out field positions very creditably. Echlafly, the heavy-hitting Portland outfielder, attracts the eye of Jake Stahl and he will play with Washington. TWO COMMITTEES UNITE. New Football Utiles Will Be Pre pared by Walter Camp. NEW Y3rK, Jan. 12. A move which Is taken to moan much toward establish ing Intercollegiate football on a higher plane and a reform in the more unde- I sirable sports was made tonight when the old football rules committee, which for many years past has dictated the rules, voted to amalgamate with the new com mittee appointed by the conference re cently held In this city at the Invitation of the New York University and attended by the representatives of CS colleges and universities throughout the country. Walter Camp, of Yale, will edit the new rules. Mr. Camp was a member of the old committee. I C. E. Dennis, of Cor nell, was elected chairman of the newly formed joint committee, and W. T. Held, Jr.. of Harvard, was chosen secretary. The Joint committee is now made up as follows: L. C E. Dennis. Cornell; W. T. Roid. Jr., Harvard; Walter Camp, Yale; J. B. Fine. Princeton: John C. Bell. Penn sylvania; Paul Dashiel. Annapolis; Alonzo Stagg, Chicago: E. K. Hall. Dartmouth; C. T. Daly. West Point; F. H. Curtis, University of Texas; C. W. Savage, Ober l!n: Harry L. Williams, Minnesota, and J.T. Lec, Nebaska. Mr. Camp, who will edit the rules, is said to be an advocate of certain reforms which will result In more open play. The members of the new committee who went Inlovthe amalgamation are pledged to va rious amendments to the rules. FOOTBALL HAS DEGENERATED Stanford Athletic Committee Con demns Game as Sport. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal., Jan. 12. The faculty athletic committee made public today its annual report to Presi dent David Starr Jordan on the condition of university athletics. On the subject of football reform the committee submits as Its opinion that close formations in play should be abol ished; that the modern game had de teriorated from a sport to a business; that the game is exclusive, since only men of heavy weight can participate, and that the game Is no longer In any pczix a college sport, since students do not or ganize volunteer teams to play for the love or the game. Dealing with the game of baseball, the committee declares "that baseball Is on a distinctively lower level than any other college sport, both as regards the spirit of amateurism and of courtesy and fair ness of play. In conclusion the committee commends tennis, track work and rowing to a more liberal participation by students as being manly sports. Normal School Boycotts Football. CEDAR PALLS. Ia Jan. 1Z The ath letic board' of the State Normal School today suspended intercollegiate football for next year. The Institution will ar range no schedule and organize no foot ball team. The attention of the students will be devoted to other athletics. THE DAY'S HORSERACES. At New Orleans Fair Grounds. NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 12.

DENVER MAN IS TOO SLOW California Pugilist Has Easy Time, and Nearly Ends Mill in First Hound Vicious Swing Docs the Work. LOS ANGELES. Jan. 12. Aurello Hcr- rera. of Bakersficld. Gal., knocked out Young Corbctt in the fifth round tonight at the Pacific Athletic Club pavilion. Her- rera's victory was an easy one, Corbctt's exhibition being disappointing. He lacked the vim and dash that had won so many battles for him. and his once forceful blows failed to Inflict any damage upon the well-conditioned body of his opponent. The fight came near ending- in the first round. In the last minute of the round Herrera caught Corbctt on the Jaw with left and right in quick succession, and sent him staggering; against the ropes. but over-anxiety to land the finishing blow caused him to swing wildly, and Corbett quickly gathered his wits and stalled oft defeat for the time being-. In tne fourth. Corbett showed a brief burst of his old-time form, twice forcing Herrera against the ropes and landing with both hands. Early In the fifth round Herrera suc ceeded in countering solidly with his right on Corbctt's Jaw, and the Denver boy staggered. Quick as a flash the Callfor nlan was upon him, and with a scries of rights and left sent him to the floor. Cor bctt got up Immediately, but again went down from a right swing that caught him on the side of the head. He struggled to his feet at the count of six and tried to clinch. Herrera pushed him against the ropes, and, setting himself, swung- a vi cious right flush to the jaw. Corbett fell upon his face and lay in that position until he was counted out. He was carried to his corner, and it required five min utes' work by his seconds to bring him around. There was considerable betting on the fight. At first the odds were 10 to D in Corbett's favor, but today switched, to even money, and tonight thcro was no Corbett money in sight at 10 to 9, with Herrera favorite. Kid Sullivan Gets Decision. BALTIMORE. Jan. 12. In the 12th round of a bout between Kid Sullivan. ot Washington, and Austin Rice, of Con necticut, before the Eureka Athletic Club tonight. Sullivan gained the decision.

At the end of about a year and a half of suffering he grew- so bad I had to tie his hands in cloths at night to keep him from scratching thesores and teanegtheflesh. "He got to be a mere skeleton, and -was hardly able to -walk. My Aunfc advised me to try Cuticura Soap and Ointment. So great was her faith in it that she gave me a small piece of Soap to try and a little of the Oint ment. I took it home without any faith, but to please her I tried it, and it seemed to dry up the sores a little. "I sent to the drug store and got a cake of the Soap and a box of the Ointment and followed the directions, and at the end of about two months the sores were all well. Ho has never had any sores of any kind since. "He is now strong and healthy, and I can sincerely Bay that only for your most wonderful remedies my Srecious child would have died from lose terrible sores. I used only one cake of Soap and about three boxes of Ointment. (signed) Mrs. Eg bert Sheldon, R. F. D., No. 1, Wood rille. Conn, April 22, 1905."
