BIG FIRMS ASK REDUCTION Acme Mills Declares Assessor's Fig ures Are Below Real Values, but Tlmt Otlier Companies Are ' Eon More Fortunate. "If real property adjoining yours or personal property similar to yours has. been assessed at a lower valuation than yours, your duty is to -report your own assessment and the assessment of the un intentionally favored parties to the County Board of Equalization for the purpose of comparison and adjustment. My idea in fixing arbitrary 'valuations where real valuations could not be obtained was to get all persons engaged in the same lines of business and owners of real property In the same community before the Board, so that errors may be corrected and the assessment made equit able for rich and poor alike. Of course, 1 have tfecome decidedly unpopular in a way on that account, for many people do npt understand my position, which is just this: Treat all alike. If an error gets in the rolls It may stay there for two or three years and then- it will be difficult to correct it. The ' time to correct it is now." So said County Assessor Sigler to the first taxpayer who called on the County Hoard of Equalization yesterday after noon with a complaint that his neigh bor's assessment was lower than ills. Several others railed later and the state ment was repented. However, it was not until the closiag hour than any firm or corporation 'took advantage of the asses sors advice. Then W. A. Goss, of the Acme Mills Company, presented a state ment, which showed that his company had been assessed at a figure below the value of its property but in excess of the assessment of similar concerns. 8ets Values on Other Mills. The company was assessed at (15,00) on merchandise. on machinery, $15,000 on money, notes and accounts. $6u0 on wagons and W0 on horses. Mr. Goss said the true values were: Merchandise, 5. -O.00O; machinery. J10.000; money, notes and accounts. 20.000; wagons. .-; horses, J.-0uO. The assessment, he said, was not in proportion to the assessment of com peting concerns, such as the Portland Flouring Mills, Albers Bros. Milling Com pany and the Columbia Milling Company, In proportion to their assessments the assessment of his company should have been: Merchandise, JlO.OvO; machinery, S;iX: money, notes and accounts, J10.000; wagons. WOO: horses. tt-9, he declared. "All right," said Mr. Eigler when he re ceived the statement. "I shall summon members of the other concerns to appear before the Board and give their valua tions." V. E. Prudhomme. for Glass & Prud homine, printers, also tiled a statement. His firm had been assessed at $10,000 on lnercluindise, machinery, $7500. money, notes and accounts, JaOOft. The true valua tions, he said, were: Merchandise, $5000; machinery. $7500: money, notes end ac counts. $6000.

It Is conttfiiled by the hotel company that m-airjr all the furniture was removed and toM last February, and new furni ture Wit I" during June and July. Th.l'erklns Hotel Company also pro tests r Zephania S. Spalding agrtinst the a'.osment of the improvement.-" on the property at Fifth and Stark streets at $x.no. The attention of Assessor Si-ti.-r is called to the fact that last year's assessment of the improvements was $50,000. and that the later improve ments were not " made until last June. The assessment was made in March. The real estate, consisting of lots 5 and 6. Mock 61, Portland, is assessed at $1'50.00. Robert H. Strong, representing the H.. V. Corbett estate, has filed a nrotest against the assessment of personal property at $!.", 000. This should bo not more than $51.4.13. he says'. The per sonal property of the estate consist-, he says, of cash In the bank. $574: out standing accounts. $2491. and bills re ceivable, $51.3tj6. That Assessor Sigler made a mistake of $1X612 in assessing the Julius J. Kuhn estate, is the contention of Ro eetta Kuhn. the administratrix. Mr. Si-cler plared the value of the money, notes and accounts at $15,000. ' Miss Kuhn says the estate has $224S deposit ed with I-a.ld A Tllton. and $140 in the Vnlted States National Bank, or a total of cash amounting to $2oSS. The re maining funds of the estate, says Miss Kuhn, are loaned out on mortgages, the property on which the mortgages are held being in this county. Company Seeks Big Redaction.

The present proprietors state that they did not come into pos session until after the assessment and after the lire, so that they do not bene fit by the higher valuation. The John Halsey Jones Company said its assessment of $25,000 on 38 acres of land in section $2 was too high in com parison with neighboring sections and with tracts in Glenhaven Park. That the assessment of $95,000 on th Fast half of lot 1, block 49. was too hlKh In comparison with the assessments on adjoining property, was the opinion of Mrs. P. M. Dekum. She asks for a reduction. The Oregon Molina Plow Company mid the true value of Its stock was $35."3 ar.d of all other property. $22,000. The Assessors figures were: Merchandise, "0.0'; money, notes and accounts, $40,000. Gevurti Bros, asked that their as sessment on furniture, money, notes and accounts, horses and wagons be re duced from $25,250 to $17,963, which they say is the actual value of tHe property. Want Furniture Figures Cut. I. Gevurti A Sons said that the as sessment of $105,700 upon their itoc of furniture, money, notes and accounts, etc., exceeds by 20 per cent the value of their holdings. The assessment last year was $67,000. The assessment this year, their said, was 50 per cent higher than that of other firms doing a busi ness 50 per cent greater. The Columbia Milling Company, one of the concerns mentioned in the pro test of the Acme Mills Company, pro tested against its assessment of $300o on merchandise, $5000 on machinery. $7500 on money, notes and accounts snd $25 on furniture. The assessment on money, notes and accounts, it gala, should be reduced to $1500. It also pro tested against the assessment on four lots and improvements in Stephens' Ad dition. The assessment is $15,200. The company asks that it be reduced to $11,400. The Loan' Company, which does a real estate business and lends other peo ple's money in sums not exceeding $50, said its assessment should be $300, in stead of $2000. The New Era Loan.

'we have organisations enough in the church for all of the spiritual work." said Mr. Gray. "The thing to me that is necessary is a good-fellowship organiza tion, without any of what might be termed religious or churchly restraint. There are a great many men of the very best type who are not Identified with any church who could be reached by a social club of church members and In no other way. The most religious thing -a man can do Is to do something for his fellowman. to help him along tne way, and to see that he gets started right.

STRIKES AT BRYAN Fulton Attacks His Policies and Past Record. AT SOUTH PORTLAND RALLY Senator Also Shows That Republi can Party Alone Has Passed Legislation Making Possible the Control of Trusts. Senator Fulton was the principal speaker at- a rousing Taft rally at Jones' Hall, Front and Gibbs streets, last night, that was largely attended by South Portland Republicans. The hall was filled with voters, and the meeting was enthusiastic J. E. Wer lein. City Treasurer, preceded Senator Fulton in a short speech. In which he contended that Bryan's plan of the guarantee of bank deposits by the Government is idle and impractical. The occasion was enlivened by solos by Miss Lena Harwas and Frank Hen nessy. The rally was held under the auspices of the South Portland Repub lican Club, and the president, W. P. Lillis, presided., B. F. Jones, secretary of the club, and a number of prominent South Portland Republicans, occupied seats on the platform. No Apathy in- Ranks. ..Senator Fulton reported an absence of apathy among the Republicans throughout the state. He has Just re turned from a campaign covering the eastern and southern portions, and said he never saw better prospects for Re publican success. "I am oonfldenc," he said, "that we will have a majority in this state of 30.000, and jrerhaps more." "I am not here to abuse any other party or the theories of any other party," con tinued the speaker. "I doubt not we are all working for the best interests of our country. I am not here to abuse Mr. Bryan. .No doubt he is a good man, but it Is not a good man only who makes the best' official. I do not believe Mr. Bryan Is in any way connected with the Stan dard Oil Corrpany, although it was said his treasurer, Mr. Haskell, was found un comfortably close to it. But let us be fair, I do not think he has any connec tion or sympathy with that corporation. But I do think he knows less about Gov ernment affairs than 'anyone else in this country. "Mr. Bryan contends that the Republi can party has fostered trusts by its poli cies and Is their friend. Yet Mr. Bryan knows .that every law on the statute books aimed at the trusts was placed there by the Republican party. First came the Sherman law, that attacked the trusts, but there was a question whether or not it was valid because the Constitu tion of the United States did not state ex- Lpressly that the Government had power to regulate trusts. To give tne Govern ment undoubted power to regulate trusts, it was proposed to amend the Constitution, but all the Democratic members of Congress, save only five, voted against the amendment and the repuired two-thirds vote was lost. Party Stood by Sherman Law. "The Democrats who voted against the amendment of the Constitution were prob ably not under the influence of the trusts but they adhered to their party prin ciples, holding that such an amendment tended to a strong centralized govern ment and opposed it on that ground. But the Republicans still believed the Sherman law valid and have always en forced it while the Democrats liave always done their best to oppose Its en forcement. "People will tell you that no matter what party is in power, we will have good times or bad times anyw.as'- Most of you here remember 1S92 when the country was going along on the high tide of prosperity. The Republicans told the people what would happen if there was a change in the politics of Govern ment. We all know the resulting condi tions, how mills were closed, the wheels of Industry stopped and a general stagna tion of business followed.' This was not for one year but for four and how long those four years seemed! "In 1896 Mr. Bryan came in and pro posed to put an end to the prevalent hard times with his free-silver remedy. But with the return of the Republicans to power, the hum of industry was resumed as prosperity smiled once more. The next election brought up Mr. Bryan with his remedy of anti-imperlallsm. Do you think Bryan was honest In this remedy? I do not. I do not think he believed the question of the retention of the Philip pines was greater than the question of whether we should maintain a sound currency. I believe Mr. Bryan discov ered he could not get into the White House on the free-silver Issue and he thought he could on antl-Imperial Ism. I do not believe Mr. Bryan is a man of honest and sincere convictions. He lacks mental integrity. Shifting Policies of Bryan. "It gladdened the hearts of the Demo cratic hosts of the country to see Mr. Bryan wined . and feted on his tour around the world. They said he had gotten broader and was then prepared to be the Moses to lead the Democratic party out of the wilderness. When he returned to New' York, it was given out that 'he would make a speech sounding the keynote of his J908 campaign. He did make a speech, and he carefully wrote it out and read It, careful- to make no mistakes. What was the paramount issue then? Was it free silver or sntl imperialism? No. it was the Govern ment ownership of railroads. "The next morning a sorro of protests went up, particularly from the South, where they are still wedded to state rights and they saw in this policy a further move toward a strong centralized government, which was not the idea of Jefferson. "Then Bryan expressed himself as not so -very strongly favoring Government ownership of railroads. He let that issue go, too, because it was unpopular. He is without deep conviction on anything. He lacks that essential for the great leader and statesman, mental tategrity. "Now Bryan wants the Government guarantee of bank deposits. He says he is the friend of the laboring man, and would do away with the Issuance of In junctions and provide for Jury trials in cases of workmen in contempt of court. This proposition would work more Injury to the laboring man than to any other class of people.' CAMPAIGN CLOSES SATURDAY Democrats Will Have Big Rally. Embarrassed by Low Funds. Democrats will close their campaign in Portland at the Armory Saturday night. October SI. when Senator John M. Gearin will make an address. As this will be the closing rally of the campaign in Portland; a big attendance is expected and other speakers will be on the programme in addition to Sen ator Gearin. Managers of the Bryan campaign in this stats profess to be greatly encour aged over the outlook and even predict that Bryan will carry Oregon.

The Democratic State Central Committee is encouraged over reports being received from over -the state, and it is contended In the Bryan camp that if Taft carries Oregon at all, it will be only by the narrowest possi ble margin. Democratic campaign . funds are low. however, the books showing that only $1071 has been contributed, and Treas urer Ryan deplores the fact that there Is not more money to be used in the state .campaign. But the Republican funds, too, are at low ebb, for only about $4500 has been used in the state. Republicans are further embarrassed by the requests from National headquar ters for funds. The managers say they can ill spare money for the National campaign when they are so bard put to it to secure funds to wage war on the Democrats in Oregon. Both parties in Oregon, it is said, are getting along with far smaller campaign funds than ever before. HUMPHREY TO SPEAK HERE Will Give Address Monday Night on Injunctions. Through the efforts of Secretary Mc Arthur, of the Republican State Central Committee, Congressman Will B. Hum phrey, of Washington, has been secured as a speaker for Portland next Monday night. Mr. Humphrey will speak at the Armory, which Mr. McArthur has en gaged for the occasion, and his address will be of especial interest to the work Ingmen, for he will deal principally with the question of Injunctions.

FULTON THINKS 20,000 LOW Says Taft Will Carry Oregon by 35,000 Over Bryan. That Oregon will give a majority for Taft on November 3, that will be not less than 25,000 Is the belief of Senator Charles W. Fulton. He bases this esti mate on the sentiment" he found ex pressed In the various section "of the state which lie has visited on the cam paign. Mr. Fulton readied Portland Wed nesday night. He will go to Puget Sound. ' where he will end his speaking tour for the big Ohloan. He told Sec retary McArthur yesterday that through out the eastern part of the state he found widespread enthusiasm for Taft and he is confident that the estimate of the state committee of about 20.000 ma jority for Taft Is too low.

The Johnson bill, submitted to the last session of the Legislature by Senator JohnAm, its author, was discussed at length at the meeting. The measure was passed "by the Legislature but was vetoed later by Governor Chamberlain.

This bill provides for the appointment of a state engineer to have charge of the state highways, the state, counties and property-owners each to bear one-third of the expense of building the main high ways." The measure provides that a sum of money for road work will be raised by an annual tax of o mills.
