Sigler Declares Owners Should
Point Out All Cases of.
Inequitable Valuations.
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. Mr. Prudhomme gave the
assessments of other printing firms as:
Irwin-Hodson Company, merohandiae,
$t"ft; machinery, $12,000; money, notea
and accounts. $1000; Bushong A Co.. mer

Mr. Sigler told Mr. Prudhomme that
he would Issue summonses to the other
concerns to show cause why their as
sessments should not be raised propor
tionately or his reduced.

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

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 owners of the H. T. Hud
son Arms Company, C. L. Diven and H.
Y. Sahlstrom, think their assessment
of $13.eoo should be reduced to abont
$4000. The assessment Includes mer
chandise and stock In trade. $12,200, and
notes and accounts. $soo. A fire in July
damaged the stork, and the remainder
is worth $4000. 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,

$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,

pany and the Ames Mercantile Agency,
it said, were assessed at $500 each; the
Crescent Loan Company at $680, and the

gationalisU Tell of Value of
Clubs to Religion.

gregational Association of Oregon yester
day Rev. J. J. Staub read a paper on

'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. A club such
as I have outlined should be able to do a
great deal of good."

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.'

The Jeweler "
I have a big little store, 162 First
street, near corner of Morrison.
I keep at work six good watchmak
ers, one ciockmaker, one optometrist,
one laoidary, one lens grinder, four
Jewelers, besides clerks and bookkeeper.
I began business in the same place
worked alone, have grown and am still
growing.
Now, why have I succeeded and why
am I doing so well?
Everyone goes out of my store
pleased and satisfied.
We do everything In our line our
selves and feel the responsibility. Our
prices defy competition, I have the
largest stock of watches at retail in
the city. - I pay the least rent because
of the smallness of my floor space. My

lng the closing days of the campaign is
expected to score heavily for the Demo
cratlc candidate. 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

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. ' He thinks
this state will roll up at least 25.000 more
votes for Taft than for the- Nebraskan.

CONSIDER GOOD ROADS BILL
JOHNSON MEASURE TOPIC OF
IMPORTANT CONFERENCE.
Two State Organizations Are Repre
sented at Meeting Held to
Draft Proposed Legislation.
An important conference to frame good
roads legislation for the coming session
of the Legislature was held at the Com
mercial Club convention, hall yesterday
and steps taken to provide a suitable bill
for the solons to pass. Those in attend
ance at the conference represented the
legislative committee of the State Grange
and the Oregon State Good Roads Asso
ciation. A. J. Johnson, of Corvallis, was
elected chairman, and Judge T. F. Ryan,
of Oregon City, was made secretary.
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. In a gen
eral way this bill was approved by those
in attendance but it is likely that it will
be somewhat modified before being rec
ommended to the legislature this Winter.
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. Work not to
exceed in value $20,000 will be done in any
one county, it is stipulated, until all other
counties have had an opportunity to ap
ply for state aid In building their high
ways. The committeemen were guests of the
Commercial Club at luncheon yesterday
and the meeting adjourned last night to
meet again November 21. at the Commer
cial Club at 10 A. M. At that time it is
expected good roads legislation will be
