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.

PLAN FOR SEWER BRIXGS SUIT
Milling Company at St. Johns Ob
jects to Opening Xear Property.
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.

ward It off entirely, is indicated by the
improvement of the motor-car service
between Ashland and Grants Pass,
which was started with one round trip
a day. This has been increased to two
round trips a day. and the "cannon

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. .
