THE MORNING OREGONIAN, jrONDAT, NOVEMBER 6, 1910. 13 STRIKE END IS BAIN Shippers Expect Faster Han dling of Cargoes Here. AMICABLE PACT PLEASES Sliip Owners Say Xew Ivonsshore ' men's Scale, Placing Port on Equality With Puget Sound, Will Help Business. Jtctlon taken by longshoremen Satur day night to end the waterfront strike aa reported exclusively in The Orego nian. will result in facilitating the handling of cargo at this port in the opinion of shippers .ere, the return of the unon men to work today making a large number of men, experienced in handling shipments, available. This will necessarily prove an added induce ment to shippers at the present price of tonnage when auy delay, no matter how Blight, mounts into money. The fixing of the scale of wages at BO cents an hour straight time and 15 cents an hour overtime, thereby plac ing this port on a par with Seattle and other Puget Sound ports will, it is be lieved, make for the development of shipping here. Higher wages paid to longshoremen compared to wages paid at Seattle have been one of the great handicaps which this port has labored under in the past, in the opinion of ehip owners. O. M. Clark, president of the Chamber of Commerce, and as head of the Clark & Wilson Lumber Company, one of the heaviest lumber shippers in the city, expressed pleasure yesterday at the amicable settlement of the strike, which had at last been reached. He said the return of the union men to work would prove of assistance in the handling of cargoes here. "The result will be that we will be able to have crews of a more efficient character," he said. "With our non union crews we had some very good men handling lumber. ' This could not be said of all, however, for, owing to our need of securing crews on short notice, we were compelled to take a large number of Inexperienced men. Workingmen of various kinds could not naturally become good lumber handlers without a little experience. Mr. Clark expressed the belief that a Treat step had been made for the plac ing of this port on an equality with Feattle with reference to charges, there by making it possible for Portland to compete on an equal basis with her northern rival. "As I understand the settlement," he caid, "it will be possible for the mate of a vessel to be foreman of the loading crew, instead of a member of the union, as is necessary under the closed shop. This will prove one advantage, as the cargo of the vessel can then be stored as the officers of the ship desire. In the same way members of the crew can handle the winches used in the loading and discharge of cargo. BUILDIXG COMPAXY ORGANIZED Three 8000-Ton Steel Steamers Are Contracted In Seattle. SEATTLE, Wash., Nov. 5. Organlea- tion of another big shipbuilding com pany in Seattle, the Ames Shipbuilding & Drydock Company, was announced Saturday, together with the informa tion that contracts already have been signed for the construction of three 8000-toh steel steamers at the . new plant for Norwegian interests at a cost of more than $3,000.

The plant is to be built on a 12-acre site on the west eide of the Seattle harbor The keels of the first ships will be laid February 1. J. V, Paterson, formerly president of the Seattle Construction & Drydock Company, is associated with Mr. Ames in the new enterprise. BOAT WIlTj COST $40,000 Plans Announced for Repairs of Lightship No. 40.

In her 82d year Mrs. John vVlcker sham, of Russellvllle, Pa., says: "I was in a run-down, feeble condition and had lost flesh. A neighbor asked me to try Vinol, and after taking: two bottles my strength returned; I am paining In flesh, it has built up my health and I am feeling fine for a woman of my age, so I get around and do my housework." The reason V'nol was so successful In Mrs. Wlckersham's case was be cause It contains beef and cod liver peptones, Iron and manganese pepto nates and glycerophosphates, the very elements needed to build up a weak ened run-down system and create strength.

STATE DOES NOT LEVY TAX so Argue air. Albert In Combating fer Cent Limitation. SALEM, Or., Nov. 4 (To the Editor.! Arguments pro and con relative to the adoption of the pending 6 per cent tax limitation amendment ha.v h.jn based upon the hypothesis that if this amendment oe adopted it will restric tne action or the Legislature and the State Tax Commission, assuming that the state is a taxing district and levies tne siate tax. This is not true. Thi state has never levied taxes, but dl gated this function from the beginning to tne counties, ana nas clothed them exclusively with the power to mak levies and enforce them. . The county alone has the power to place a tax lien on your property. The state tax is not levied by the state, but is the aggregate of levies in the 35 counties for "state purposes," and is ' a part of the counties' taxes.

The Constitution provides: Article 9, section 6 Whenever the ex penses uf any fiscal year shall exceed tne Income, the legislative assembly shall pro vide for levying a tax for the ensuing year. sufficient with other sources of income, to pay the deficiency, as well as the esti mated expense of the ensuing fiscal year. The Legislature has provided there for as follows: Section 8613 of the laws of 1913. page S74 It shall te the duty of the State Tax Com mission lu Decerr.ber of each year to ascer tain by computation and estimate, as here inafter provided, the total amount of rev enue necessary for state purposes for the next ensuing fiscal year, and to apportion the aforesaid total revenue amonr tne sev eral counties in the manner hereinafter pro vided. ;ectlon 8646 It shall not he necessary to change the values of the particular descrip tions or property as&esea in eacn or tne several counties on tne assessment rous thereof, but the county hall collect and pay over as required by law the amount so apportioned, and In. no case shall any deduc tion or abatement be made from the ap portionment of. any county on account of the delinquency of any taxpayer, or error or omission in the assessment roll. The Supreme Court held in Northup vs. Hoyt, 31 Oregon 534: The ob'iiratlon of a county to pay Its portion of the state tax creates the relation of debtor and creditor between the county and the state and the state becomes a pre ferred creditor to the amount of such tax. paab!e out -jl the general fund. "We must not lose sight of the fact that the state tax forms a very small portion of the aggregate of our taxes. In this city and county for this year it was 2.7 mills only, as aguinst over 31 mills of total tax. This fact, that is, the light state tax, would not em barrass the counties if it were held to be, as it really is. a part of the county tax. Indeed, under existing laws the coun ty's failure to make any levy would not relieve it from the payment in lull or its quota or the state revenue, or the County Treasurer of criminal lia bility in the premises. In the levy of the state tax the counties deal in tenths of mills and mills, while the levy in counties and other taxing bodies is in mills and cents. No reason has been given why 6 per cent excess should bo the limit, when the Increase in assessed valua tion of property tha last 10 years has been over 400 per. cent, or an average of 40 per cent per annum, notwith standing this period covers the panic of 1907 and the recent years of busi ness depression. Of course, there will be differences of opinion among attor neys in the interpretation of this law, but it is such differences that create lawsuits. Litigation, especially over tax measures, is likely to be disastrous. In 1903 the tax laws were so amend ed that it became necessary to call the Legislature together in extra session to so further amend them In order to be able to make any levy for that year.
