BORAH HAS PULL
UPON
GOODING
Delegates Favorable to Candi
date for Senatorship Can Be
Swung in Convention.
ALLIANCE WILL STAND
Although Governor Is Very Friendly
With Brady, It Is Believed
He Will Not Risk the Chance
of Being Defeated.
BT WILLIAM BA.LDERSTON.
BOISE, July 29. (Special). Throughout
the Republican ante-convention contest
there has always been a possibility of
open war breaking out between Vf. E.
Borah, candidate for the Senate, and
Governor Frank R Gooding, candidate
' for renomlnation. 60 far that has been
avoided, and the indications now are that
both will be, nominated. If an outbreak
should occur at the convention. It would
be difficult to predict the outcome. How-
ever, that seems like a remote possi
bility. There has been very little opposition
to the Governor, but. the exigencies of
the contest have left him In a second
ary position in the southern counties as
a rule. He u strong before the people,
and, while he has a few bitter enemies,
he is manifestly the choice of the party
for the position. But he has been under
an obligation not to take sides in the Sen
atorial contest and this has prevented
him from taking the lead in a great
many counties.
Gooding Friendly With Brady.
The friends of- Borah have very gen
erally felt that the Governor's sympa
thies are with J. H. Brady, chairman or
the state committee, who Ib a candidate
for the Senate and is opposing the Borah
plan of naming the candidate in state
convention. Many of these friends of
Borah have gone so far as to charge
the Governor with being In alliance with
Brady. The latter is undoubtedly a warm
friend of the Governor, but his -candidacy
has proved a terrible handicap to
the Governor for the reason stated.
Throughout all the counties favorable
-to Borah his Interests- have been given
first consideration. Borah's friends have
been determined that the counties favor
ing him shall be for him first, and a
large number of them have been tied up
with instructions for him.
Provided Against Contingencies.
. In several counties that are favorable
to the Governor such Instructions have
been given for Borah, but none for the
Governor. The plain English of this is,
that, should the Governor appear at Poca
tello in a coalition with Brady to defeat
Borah, these counties would be swung
to some other man for Governor.
Eliminating all counties in which there
is real opposition to the Governor, and
portions of the delegations are unalter
ably opposed to him, he would show up
in the following manner, with the sena
torial matter disposed of in favor or
Borah:

The asterisk indicates votes that are
tied up In the Senatorial matter, and
which might not go to Gooding If it were
held that he were opposing Borah. There
are 114 votes, according to that estimate,
tied up in that manner, leaving only 135
that are first for the Governor. Undoubt-
edly a number of votes are incorrectly
classed, certainly five in Fremont, which
would go for the Governor in any event.
StllL the figures are close enough to show
what an embarrassing position It is.
It requires 150 votes to control the con
vention, and, with the Borah men, In the
event of a fight, pulling from Gooding
delegations In the ways that are common
to conventions, it would be a hard job to
pull through.
Borah's Show of Strength.
The Borah strength is positive all along
the line. It makes a showing like this:

Of those votes 124 are under instructions.
There are some scattering votes in the
north and one bunch in the south that
may be added to the column and will off
set any possible loss.
The figures as to the two candidates
show how delicate the situation has been.
However, as stated, there is now very
little likelihood of a contest. Indeed, It
may be stated with a great measure of
confidence that the clouds will clear away
by the time the clans assemble and leave
a free field for both men.
Borah Captures the Southeast.
The great feature of the contest has
been the capture of the southeast by
Borah. Brady claimed that entire section,
and a good many people thought he would
make good on that claim, but Borah's
friends always Insisted he could sweep
that region and the results have Justified
their opinion. Some of these counties,
notably Bingham, voted down a resolution
Instructing for the Governor solely be
cause the county convention was sus
picious of his relations with Brady.
In Oneida County, which is friendly to
the Governor, the county convention did
the same thing, the declaration being
openly made that the state delegation
should go to Pocatello first and find out
whether the Governor was in a combina
tion with Brady.
Not in With Brady.
It may be stated that the Governor is
not in combination with Brady. He agreed
to keep his hands off. and. while his nat
ural alliance would have been with Brady
had he been free to make one, it is cer
tain he is not in any such combination.
However, the fact that the opponents of
Borah are almost all Gooding men, and
the further fact that many state em
ployes have been active Jn the campaign
against Borah, have aroused the suspi
cion to which reference has been made
with the embarrassing result pointed out!
The polemics of the contest have been
extremely interesting. In support of Bo
rah's plan it has been urged that the con
vention is a safer body to settle a party
question than the Legislative caucus
while, on the other side. It has been In
sisted that the Legislature could dispose
of the subject with greater satisfaction
to the public. Further, It has been al
leged that it would contribute to party
success to have the seleotion left open.
Legality of Flection Challenged.
The legality of an election of a candi
date nominated by the state convention
has been challenged, it being alleged it
is the constitutional duty of the Legisla
ture to elect the Senator, and that any
form of prior selection would be in the
nature of unconstitutional coercion.
Two counties have instructed their del
egates to vote against the convention
plan. One of these is Bannock, the home
of Brady; the other, Nes Perces. The
latter went, farther and instructed its
legislative candidates not to be bound by
any convention nomination that might
be made. ....
French Will Be Renominated.
It seems altogether probable that Con
gressman French will be renominated.
While there are those who would go
against him if some strong candidate were
brought forward with sufficient follow
ing to give him a chance, the current is
quite plainly for French. There are two
other candidates. Colonel T. R. Hamer, of
Fremont County, and Lieutenant-Governor
B. L. Steeves, of Washington Coun
ty. Each of these has his' county in
structed for him, but there is nothing to
Indicate that a combination will be
formed against French.
No other candidates have attracted the
least attention during the contest. It
seems to be conceded that Judge George
H. Stewart, of Boise, will be nominated
for the Supreme Bench. Auditor Bragaw,
of Kootenai County, has no opposition for
renomlnation, so far as known.
Candidate for Treasurer.
Several candidates for Treasurer are In
the field, these including H. N. Coffin, the
Incumbent of the office. Nes Perces Coun
ty has put forward C. H. Hastings and
Canyon has put H. A. Partridge in the
field for the place, while John H. Eagle-

son, of this city, is also an aspirant. Attorney-General
Guheen is a candidate for
renomlnation; also State Mine Inspector
Bell. There are several names mentioned
for the position held by Bell, but it is
probable the present incumbent will be
named.
Preparations for the Democratic con
vention at Coeur d'Alene on August 6
are proceeding without attracting much
attention. There is no doubt that Senator
Dubois will be 'nominated for Senator
and Chief Justice Stockslager for Gover
nor. In this. Ada, County, there will be
a sharp contest in the primaries. The
opposition faction say they are willing
that Dubois shall be nominated, but they
insist that the platform shall not contain
any anti-Mormon declarations.
CANADA'S DOOR IS OPEN
Newfoundland Will Be Admitted
Without Knocking, Says Earl Grey.
ST. JOHNS, N. F., July 29. Earl Grey
at an official luncheon in his honor at the
Government House yesterday declared
that he had been profoundly and agree
ably surprised at the natural beauties and
the material prosperity ot the island. The
Earl said he brought no suggestion of
federation from Canada, for he knew that
union sentiment was non-existent in the
colony. He added, however, that If New
foundland at any future date should de
cide to seek a union, Canada's door would
be found open, and it would not be neces
sary to knock.
Earl Grey expressed ths belief that St.
Johns is destined ere long to become the
western terminus of a fast trans-Atlantic
steamer service. Premier Bond said it
was the hope of the colony that a fast
trans-Atlantic line would be an accom
plished fact within a year or two. Gov
ernor McGregor and Earl Grey started on

Eastern Capital Investing.
Eastern capital is coming to San Fran
cisco for Investment. The two largest
transactions of the week involve capital
from the other side of the continent. A
large Chicago department store has leased
almost an entire block of land at the cor
ner of Market street and Van Ness ave
nue, for which it will pay between $4500
and $5000 a month for five years. The
company will erect a temporary store at
a cost of 75,O0O.
The other transaction Involves the sale
of the Spring Valley building at the cor
ner of Geary and Stockton streets to a
syndicate in which Boston capital is rep
resented. The figures given out for the
latter transaction would indicate a big
slump in values in the burned area, but it
can hardly be regarded as a typical deal.
Two blocks down the street, on Market,
Just below Geary, next to the Chronicle
building, a piece of land was leased this
week at a figure that would indicate that
values on Market street have not suffered
a decline.

HARD TASK AHEAD
Legislature Must Wrestle With
. Tax Apportionment.
PROBLEM VEXATIOUS ONE
Tax Commission Has Feasible Plan
to Distribute Burden, but Ex
pects Supreme Court Will
Declare It Unconstitutional.
SALEM, Or.. July 29. (Special.) The
more one studies that portion of the re
port of the Oregon Tax Commission de
voted to the subject of the apportion
ment of state taxes, the more- evident
it becomes that the solution of this prob
lem will be one of the most difficult
tasks of the next Legislature. The sub
ject is one which will appeal to the self
interest of the members and their con-
stltuents, and one upon which members
W. E. Borah.
may and probably will differ radically
in their opinions as to the practical and
constitutional questions involved.
The subject appeals to the self-interest
of a member because it directly affects
the amount of state taxes the people of
his county shall pay.- It is difficult from
a legal standpoint because there is a
strong probability that the Supreme
Court will declare unconstitutional the
plan of apportionment which the Tax
Commission approves. It will be vexa
tious to those who desire to enact a law
that will work smoothly, for the reason
that the plan which the Commission ap
proved seems to be the best that could
be devised in that particular.
Figures From Minority Member.
How the law which the Commission
approves will affect the people, as com
pared with a law such as would be ap
proved by the minority member of the
Commission, who filed a dissenting re
port, is indicated by a few figures which
W. J. Lachner, the minority member,
submitted. In order that the situation
may be fully understood, a brief explan
ation should be made.
The law now on the statute books pro
vides that state taxes shall be appor
tioned among the counties according to
a certain fixed ratio until 1910, when the
apportionment will be made upon the
basis of relative expenditures for county
purposes for the preceding five years.
F. W. Mulkey and E. B. Seabrook rec
ommended that this plan be continued.
W. J. Lachner declares that it is un
constitutional and urges that the appor
tionment must be made among the coun
ties according to the value of the prop
erty in each.
In support of his claim that it makes
a very material difference which plan of
apportionment is followed Lachner com
plied some comparative figures.
Lachner computed the ratio of taxes
each county would pay upon the basis
of expenditures and upon the basis of
valuation, using the assessed valuations
and the expenditures for the years 1901,
1902, 1903 and 1904 as a basis for his cal
culations. For the sake of convenience
in making an illustration which will be
readily understood he assumes that the
state revenue will amount to $1,000,000 a
year, though the amount to be raised
by the counties for state purposes is less
than that.
Assuming this to be the amount, he
shows that under the plan favored by
the majority of the Commission Baker
County would have to pay into, the state
treasury $43,000 a year, while under the
valuation plan it would have to pay only
$22,100. On the other hand. Multnomah
County would have to pay only $220,800
under tne plan favored by the majority,
while it would have to pay $310,300 under
the valuation plan.
The fact that Mulkey comes from Mult
nomah and Lachner from Baker may
have nothing to do with their opinions,
but it may be noted in passing that each
favors the plan which would be most
advantageous to his own county. It
makes little dlnerence to Coos County,
from which Mr. Seabrook comes, whether
one plan or the other be adopted, for
Its proportion of the state taxes would
be practically the same in either case.
. Comparison of Other Counties.
Clatsop County would pay $33,700 under
the plan favored by the majority of the
Commission, while It would pay only
va,n unaer tne valuation plan favored
by the minority. Grant County would
pay $23,800 under the plan favored BV
the majority, but would -pay but $10,400
unaer tne valuation plan. Practically the
same figures apply to Harney and Mal
heur. Josephine County would nay $21,300 upon
the basis of expenditures, but only $9800
upon the basis of valuation. Lane, Linn
and Marlon would be affected in an op
posite manner, for they would pay much
more under the valuation system than
under the expenditure system of appor
tionment. Marlon, for example, would
pay but $39,600 out of a million upon
the basis of county expenditures, while
it would pay $57,100 upon the basis or
valuation.
liachner's Table of Ratios.
Lachner's table of ratios was computed
for the purpose of showing that appor
tionment upon the basis of expenditure
is vastly different from apportionment
upon the basis of valuation. His table
showing this difference is as follows:

An Estimated Valuation.
It must be remembered that the ma
jority report figures are computed from
an "estimated" valuation for 1905. In Its
report, the majority presents a column
of figures entitled "Estimated Cash
Value 1905, as Fer Assessment Koils.
Just where the "as per assessment rolls"
has application it Is difficult to under
stand, for the figures do not correspond
with the county assessment rolls in any
one of the 33 counties except Multnomah.
The commission made an estimate, but
upon what it based its estimate does not
appear. That the estimate varies great
ly from the assessment rolls of 1905 will
be seen from a comparison of the figures
taken from the tables on tile In the of
fice of the Secretary of State -with those
presented in the commission's estimate.
The first column shows what the County
Assessors placed the valuations at. The
second shows the commission's etlmate of

It will be seen from the foregoing that
the commission estimates the total value
of property In Oregon 00.000,000 greater
than shown by the assessments, and all
of the Increase outside of Multnomah
County. Baker Is given an estimated
valuation five times as great as shown
by its assessment roll, Douglas four times
as great.. Marion and Morrow three times
as great. Sherman. Tillamook. Umatilla
and Union three times as great, and sev
eral other counties double the present
assessment.

the column of the comparative table
headed "Ratio Based Upon Estimated
Valuations in, 1905." The majority mem
bers of tYm. commission contend that
their table ofratlos proves that there is
substantial equality between the two
methods of apportionment. The report
says:
"In fact, It Is Impossible .to disprove
the statement that the rate based upon
the expense system does not as closely
approximate the distribution of wealth
as can be obtained by any other moae oi
calculation." j
Plan Widely Commended.
The maioritv members of tho commis
sion rest their argument chiefly upon the
fact that the fixed ratio of apportionment
has -worked satisfactorily In this state,
and. that the method adopted by Oregon
has been the subject of favorable com
ment by students of taxation generally.
They assert that the Comptroller of Ne
vada has advocated the adoption of the
expenditure plan of determining the ratio
of apportionment of state taxes.
"Such a general plan," says the re
port, "has been Indorsed by the New
York Chamber of Commerce, by the New
York State Commerce Convention, by the
League of American Municipalities,- by
the New York Tax Reform Association,
by a similar association in Ohio, by nu
merous labor organizations, and com
mended by such authorities as Professor
Sellgman and George Washington Dodge.
We have discovered no comment adverse
to it.
"For Oregon to abandon this advanced
method and substitute a State Board of
Equalization or an apportionment 'based
upon unequalized assessments, would be
retrogression. It would be a gross breach
of faith with the counties which have
been coming to the cash valuation basis
In reliance upon the permanency of our
laws, and would throw us back where
we were when the-State Board of Equal
ization was found intolerable."
It is this last sentence that contains
the gist of the desire of the majority of
the commission. They want to fight
clear of such conditions as existed -when
all the counties were reducing their as
sessments. Probably Lachner would like
to do the same thing, but as he reads the
constitution of this state, and as he be
lieves the Supreme Court will read It, the
plan favored by the majority cannot be
sustained.
It will be up to the Legislature to de
termine whether the expenditure plan
shall be left upon the statute books to
become operative in 1910, or a new plan,
based upon valuation, shall be adopted in
Its place.
