CHANGES IN TAX
LAWS PROPOSED
Commission Devises Methods
to Reach Corporations
Which Shirk.
NET EARNINGS AS BASIS
"Washington System ot Collecting De
linquent Taxes and Issuing of
Tax Deeds "Will Be Fol
lowed In Oregon.
CHANGES PROPOSED IX OREGOK,
TAX IAMV8 BY STATE TAX
COMMISSION'.
County Treasurer to be tax collector
instead of Sheriff.
County Commissioners to be added
to Board of Equalization.
Appeal against assessment to be
made directly to -Circuit Court Instead
of under present Injunction and re
view proceedlnss.
Methods of assessment to be same
as now, except as to public service
corporations.
Such corporations to be assessed by
a state tax commission on capitalised
net earnings.
' The commission to have advisory
arid supervisory power over County
Assessors.
Washington system of collecting de
linquent taxes and issuing tax deeds
to be adopted.
State school lands, sold but not
deeded by state, to be assessed.
County Assessors to certify under
oath that they have assessed at full
cash value
the real equalization was done by the
Count? Court, which continued Its func
tions. The new law would give a longer
time to the board. It would also provide
that three members should be a quorum
for business. Under the present law, ab
sence of. one member of the board might
Invalidated the assessment; Indeed, this la
the contention of certain taxpayers In
Curry County, who arc contesting the
validity of the last assessment.
Deputy Assessors Authorized.
The new law would also authorize an
assessment to be made by a Deputy As
sessor, in case an Assessor should fail to
make the assessment. The Assessor of
Curry County, did not do this work last
year, but a deputy, and this Is another
ground for a light by certain taxpayers in
Curry to defeat the assessment.
It is the opinion' of the framcrs of the
new law that the County Treasurer should
be the Tax Collector, and that that offi
cial can collect the tax money more eco
nomically to the county than can the
Sheriff.
The new law will introduce the In
diana method of supervising County
Assessors by the Tax Commission,
which is to assess public service cor
porations. In this manner the State
would secure a uniform assessment In
all the counties. In order to secure as
sessments at cash value all over the
State as the Multnomah assessment
was made last year, each Assessor is to
be required to certify under oath at
the end of each assessment roll that It
is based on actual cash values.
Taxation of School lands.
Failure to make such an oath or wil
ful undervaluation Is to be deemed a
misdemeanor and ground for removal
from office.
The new law will provide for taxa
tion of state school land, which the
state nas sold but not deeded to the pur
chasers. This will add about S60.SI3
acres to the taxable land of the state,
for which the purchasers paid $1,500,
000, and which has since grown to
much higher value. .The Attorney-General
has held that so long as the title
to the land shall remain to the state,
the land cannot be taxed under the
present law.
The new lvw will repeal the present
inoperative law for taxation of migra
tory livestock. It will leave, as at
present, the .apportionment of state
tax among- the counties.
MANNING SITS AS JURY
Changes in the tax laws of Oregon, as
recommended by the State Tax Commis
sion to the next Legislature, will be dC'
signed chiefly for Improved methods of as
sesslng public-service corporations. Such
was the decision of the commission, at a
three days' session the first part of the
week.
The alterations which the commission
will recommend will follow the foregoing
outline, and though the members have
agreed on the subjects indicated, their de
cision. Is not altogether final and may be
changed as future consideration may deem
expedient. The three members of the body
are unanimous. They are: F. W. Mulkey.
of Portland, chairman; B. B. Seabrook, of
Marshfield, and W. J. Lachner, of Baker
city.
Public-Service Corporations.
Public-service corporations affected are:
Railroad, telegraph, telephone, express,
street-car, fast freight, sleeping-car, In-
icrurnan railway, electric light, power
ana transmission, gas, heating, water and
hydraulic. These are to be assessed on
the basis of their capitalized net earnings.
which is to he deemed the value of their
franchises, after assessed value of phys
ical properties shall have been deducted.
The assessment of such corporations is
to be made by a State Tax Commission.
whose method of appointment has not
yet been decided on. The Commission is
to determlno net earnings of a given
public-service corporation from state
ments and reports made to It by the cor
poration, specifying gross income from all
sources and expenditures for all pur
poses and such other matters as may be
required by law or by the rules of the
Commission. The information so furnished
Is to be as complete in detail as may be
needed by the Commission to probe into
net earnings. The net earnings are to be
capitalized at a moderate rat of inter
est, and thus assessed by the Commis
sion, and after the assessed valuation of
physical properties shall have been de
ducted, are to too taxed at a rate yet to
be determined.
Statements by Corporations.
The statements furnished, by the cor
porations are to show business originating
and terminating in Oregon; originating
here and terminating elsewhere; originat
ing elsewhere and terminating here, and
passing through the state. The assessed
valuation for the entire system, if it he a
railroad, is to be apportioned among the
several counties through which the road
runs, according to the mileage of the road
in each county. But terminals, shops and
stations are to be taxed only in the
county where located, after being de
ducted from the capitalized value.
The present system of collecting delin
quent taxes and Issuing tax deeds is to
give way to the system of the State of
Washington, which the Commission be
lieves is much more satisfactory, from the
viewpoint both of the county and of the
purchaser of tax titles. The Commission
Is aware that no system should give en
couragement to tax-title sharks who
make a business of preying on delinquent
taxpayers, and will endeavor to avoid
that outcome.
Will Abolish Advertising.
The new method will abolish the ad
vertising of delinquency. Under it any
body can obtain from the Tax Collector
a certificate of delinquency by paying de
linquent back taxes, if there be any,
and' 15 per cent interest penalty. Unless
the property-owner shall redeem within
three years, the holder of the certificate
may foreclose against the property, after
the manner of foreclosing mortgages, and
the only notice of foreclosure required is
that to be served on the person in whoso
name the property stands. The Tax Col
lector Is then to proceed to sell. In obe
dience to the court Judgment, enough
land from the east side of the property
to satisfy the claims. Such foreclosures
must be made within five years, or the
claim will lapse.
Unjust Assessment Appeals.
Under the present system of fighting
what a property-owner may deem an un
just assessment, he seeks relief from the
County Board of Equalization and the
County Court, and. if not satisfied by
them, appeals to the Circuit Court to en
join the Sheriff from collecting the tax.
or to compel the board or the County
Court to review the assessment. Under
the proposed change, he would appeal di
rectly to the court, which would have
power to determine whether the assess
ment was equitable, and, if not, to fix it
at an equitable figure. The court now
has no power to adjust an assessment.
that power being lodged solely In the
Board of Equalization, and. after Its ad
Journment. in the County Court. In case
of an injunction against the Sheriff or a
writ of review against the board or the
County Court, the only redress can bo
secured from the board or the County
Court under the present system.
Will Add to the Board.
The new system would add to the board
the two County Commissioners, giving it
five members, the others being the County
Judge, the County Clerk and the Assessor.
The law now says the board shall be In
session one week. This was not long
enough in Multnomah County for equal
ization of -the last assessment, and all of
3IiIvaukic Gambling Case Comes Up
Again in Portland.
In order to determlno whether the mu
nicipality has Jurisdiction over the Mil
waukle poolroom and gambling-house as
long as It runs a branch house In Port
land for the purpose of selling pools, Dis
trict Attorney John Manning sat as a
grand Jury yesterday afternoon to decide
the point. The session was the outcome
of the arrest of Martin Ready in the Owl
saloon at Fifth and Alder streets, charged
with selling race pools and of maintain
ing a hand book. Head was released, but
the administration seized the opportunity
to bring up the Mllwaukle case again, and
Thomas Greene, acting for the Mayor,
was present" at the session yesterday to
look after the interests of the city. In
spector Bruin was also there, he having
been delegated by the Mayor to gather
evidence ' against the gamblers.
No decision was reached yesterday and
the District Attorney will continue the
hearing today. Six witnesses were ex
amined, but little evidence of importance
was obtained. Those examined were M.
G. Nease, Dr. J. Anderson, Jack Finn,
T. Saber, E. W. Hendricks and L. L.
Carey.
Ready's case attracted, considerable at
tention. He was arrested and gavo a
large bond for his appearance In Munici
pal Court No Information was filed
against him and he demanded the return
of the ball money. After two days wait
and many threats the money was re-
rturned and It was thought the matter
was ended.
Bruin took up the matter and through
the Mayor and Mr. Greene the District At
torney was asked to take up the case in
the hope that, as long as the Mllwaukle
Club maintained a poolroom In Portland,
tlie municipality would have power over
the club at Mllwaukle. Other witnesses
will be examined by District Attorney
Manning this afternoon.
RECEPTION TO BR0UGHER
His Second Anniversary at the "White
Temple Is Celebrated.
The second anniversary of Dr. J. W.
Brougher's pastorate in Portland and the
arrival of Rev. Elnathan Sweet, who has
recently accepted a call as assistant pas
tor of the "White Temple, were celebrated
last night in a Joint reception given them
by the congregation of the First Baptist
ijnurcii. Dr. Brougnera popularity and
the esteem In which he Is held was fit
tingly manifested by the 700 who. were
present to congratulate him, and Mr.
Sweet was accorded a hearty Western
welcome. The affair was one of the most
successful and thoroughly enjoyable of
the many given at the Temple since Dr.
Brougher came to its pulpit, the occasion
being a particularly happy one for all.
The evening held two happy surprises
for the pastor. The first was the pre
sentation of a handsome silver loving
cup, by which his congregation expressed
Its appreciation of his services as a pas
tor and his worth as a man. The presen
tation speech was made by Captain Sla-
den and Dr. Brougher responded In his
happy characteristic vein. The second
surprise was more substantial, being a
raise in salary of 5400 per annum, bring
ing the amount which he receives up to
$4000.
C. J. Mellis, superintendent of the Sun
day school, was master of ceremonies.
Dr. S. J. Barber and Rer. John Bent
stcln made short addresses, and the re
sponses made by Dr. Brougher and Mr.
Sweet were heartily encored. The church
orchestra played a number of good selec
tions and there was a well-rendered vo
cal number by the male quartet of the
Temple
CHANGE IN RATHSKELLER
Portland Hotel Will Close It to the
Xadlcs for a Time.
The famous rathskeller of the Hotel
Portland, the most popular resort of its
kind for ladles and gentlemen In the city.
Is to be used for gentlemen only from
nowon. The announcement of this change
was made last night by II. C. Bowers,
manager of the Hotel Portland.
Later, however, extensive improvements
will be made on the ground floor and ar
rangements made for the entertainment
of both ladles and gentlemen.
The Hotel Portland was the first to put
in a rathskeller in Portland, and when It
was opened several years ago it imme
diately mot public favor and was very lib
erally patronized. Of late similar resorts
have been established In many parts of
Portland, and therefore Mr. Bowers Is
planning'sometlung entirely new and orig
inal. Although Mr. Bowers was uncommuni
cative last night, other than to say that
extensive changes would be made on the
ground floor in the near future. It is un
derstood that when the improvements are
completed the Hotel Portland will have a
resort that Is new in every respect and
unlike anything in the United States.
