THE MORNING OKEGOXIAN. TUESDAY. AUGUST 2, 1910. - ., . . - -i i M w 1 WiCKERSHAIVI AND COBBIIL ARE OUT Portland's Crack Tennis Play ers Unable to Play in Ta coma Tournament. FAIR SEX TO REPRESENT Disappointment Felt in Local TennU Circles That Experts Will Not Hay Matches Open Today Portland Women There. Despite the fact that they hava en . tared tha North Pacific Northweat -.ennla tonnumut, which opens at Ta coma this moralng. neither Brandt fViokenham, Portland City champion, nor Ralph C GorrUl will Pay. " ,DU1 nesa engagements will not permit. so Portland will only be represented at the tourney by the fair eex n Mlaa Leeaie ladbrtb-r. Mrs. Andre roull jioux and Miss Suaan Clark. It 1 largely due to the fact that the tournament opens at a bad time of the month, the first, when "business come before pleasure" oftentimes, that Mr. Wlckersbam and Mr. GorrUl cannot ret away. Though the latter has given up all hope of even being able to attend. Mr. Wlckershara may be able to make arrangements at the eleventh hour to enter the play by to morrow. Much disappointment has been felt in local tennis circles by this derision. From what could be learned here last night. Pacific Northwest Champion Joe Tyler, of Spokane, like Wlcker sham and Oorrtll. may not be aeen In play to defend his title at Tacoma. As the Victoria, B. G. tourney Is under way, Tyler may enter the latter, where the British Columbia championship will be decided. However, since he was defeated by Bernard Schwengers In the play for the Canadian main lard title last week. It was expected that he would give up his attempt to get a lex on the Canadian title trophy. IVOMEX PROM1XEXT IX PLAY TTrawinc Made at Tacoma Tourna ment, Opening Today. TACOMA. "WasK. Aug. 1.

The City of St. Johns, Including the Mayor and Councllmen, is being sued. It Is all over the effort of the city to Improve its condition by putting in a sewer. The Jobes Milling Company has no objection to the sewer, but It does object to having it empty Into the "Wil lamette River within six feet of its premises, and to prevent this filed suit In the Circuit Court In Portland yes terday, asking that a restraining order be Issued. The milling company cannot under stand how it can be expected to mill flour In the midst of the scum and filth that the sewer would necessarily bring. There Is Insufficient current at this point in the river, it Is said, to carry away the sewage, whereas if the city would run the sewer down Burlington street and out Into the river far enough it would strike a current strong enough to carry the waste down stream. The company also suggests the carry ing of the sewer north on Bradftrd street to Philadelphia street, thence Into the river. There. It Is argued. It would be discharged under the city's docks, and would injure no one. TTTe company points out that opposite its property, the water Is but five feet deep, and that the waves from pasalng steamers frequently wash up on the land. The defendants are J. F. Hendricks, Mayor of St. Johns, and A. W. Adams. S. L. Dobie, S. C. Cove, John E. Hlller. C. L. Johnson, W. W. Wlndel and J. S. Downey, Councllmen. GLEXDALE DEFEATS MED FORD N.

This has been increased to two round trips a day. and the "cannon ,x.iccinvrns rftTV STAND I ball," as the 'big gasoline car Is called, COMMISSIONERS RETAIJi 6lAu I nassengers on every trip It makes. It Is said that this serv ice is to be extended further. Of special interest in Ashland the past few days is the fact that the Southern Pacific has secured options on a block almost in the heart of the city and adjacent to its main business street and proposes to establish a station es pecially for the accommodation of its Rogue River Valley motor service. The company already practlcaUy has a right of way to the site, which Is the corner of Main and Water streets. Half a dozen persons are Interested in the ownership of the property required for the proposed passenger terminal, and these have given options. John R. Allen, who upon a second application, received a blanket trolley franchise in Ashland by popular vote, has filed his formal acceptance of the grant. This Is said to have removed the last obstacle to the proposed Rogue River Valley lnterurban from Ashland to Grants Pass. Galloway and Eaton Declare That Real Situation Is Misunderstood, Capital Kot Driven Away. SALEM, Or., Aug. 1. Special.) State Tax Commissioners Charles V. Galloway and J. B. Eaton have prepared a statement setting forth their views more fully on the question of taxing mortgage notes and on the discussion which followed a letter recently sent but by the Commission to the County Asses sors of the state. This present statement will probably be placed in the form of a letter to the Assessors. It is in part as follows: Bight now we want It to be plainly un derstood by the County Assessors and by others who may be interested, that the let ter of July 15 ha not been withdrawn or amended, either In word or spirit; neither will It be. Attempt has been made In cer tain quarters, either through Ignorance or the law or through deliberate purpore to misunderstand the law and the Intention, of this Board, to misrepresent the letter and pervert Its meaning. But anyone who is even tolerably familiar with matters of tax ation knows that there are vital differences between a tar on mortgagee and a tax on mortgage notes. To summarize differences between a mort gage tax and a mortgage note tax: The former Is In effect a tax on real property, the latter is a tax on a certain class of per sonal property: the former Is applied at the situs of the rand, and the latter, at the domicile of the owner, or of the person ac tually In possession: the former tax can be assessed against both residents ot the state and against non-residents, the latter can be assessed only against residents, the note or other credit must be actually within the state, either in the hands of its owner or of an agent, or otherwise localised for perma nent, as distinguished from temporary, use. It can of course be readily seen that the general effects of mortgage tax and of mortgage note tax are decidedly different. Under a mortgage tax resident and non resident creditors are on the same footing. The tendency of such a law Is to frighten outside capital and keep It away from the state. Under a tax on mortgage notes ana other credits, the home creditor Is at a disadvantage as compared with the non resident creditor. Where fully understood, the tendency of such a law Is to encourage investments of outside capital In the state; for the non-reldent creditor, holding his notes and securities at home, cannot be taxed for them here. ' We contrast this situation with one of a year ago when capitalists living In one of the Eastern Oregon counties requested that we direct the Assessor of that county not to assess their notes for the reason that this enforcement of the law placed them at a disadvantage aa compared with capitalists living In the state of Washington. Natu rally, and properly too, they don't like the Idea of being taxed on their notes, whether their money Is placed at home or abroad, while Washington capitalists compete with them for Oregon loans and, holding their notes In Washington, pay no tax In either Irvlew of every fact In the case, news paper comments about the Tax Commission trying to restore the mortgage tax are silly. We are not trying to resurrect the repealed law and couldn't if we would; but we are trying to enforce existing laws, laws as Tltal and binding aa any on our statute books and laws, furthermore, cojnmanaeq by our constitution to remain as part of our scheme ot taxation. Evan If the members of this Commission wished to do so they could not, without dis regarding their plain duty and their oaths of office" give any other instruction to the Assiasor than that they should list for tax 5oall that It 1 possible for them to list of moneys and credits. Including notes se aulred by mortgage and those not so se cured. Furthermore, the Assessors hfve no discretion to exempt this property. .
