TAXATION.
There is a very general discussion of
the subject of taxation through the
press of the State. This discussion of
course in intensified on scosunt of the
Legislature being now in session. The
starting point in all these discussions
seems to be the mortgage tax law.
There is an ortanizexi effort to repeal
tbis law. Tbis effort comes mainly
from money lenders. Those who here
tofore have been able to escape taxa
tion because of the ease and facility
with whioh money, notes and accounts
might be placed beyond the ken of the
Argus-eyed assessor, are now loud in
their denunciations of a law which
compels them to bear their proper
share of the public burden. There are
a few general principles which should
be kept in view in all cases when legis
lation upon the subject of taxation is
to be had. First, governments are ab
solutely necessary iu order to protect
society against its vicijusand outbreak
ing elements. Life, liberty and t ro-
perty would be valueless things were
it not for tn? stroog arm of the law to
protect them. To maintain and per
petuate the government requires money
with which to remunerate those officials
who are deputed to execute the author
ity and maintain the functions of the
government which they represent. It
is to gather in this needed money that
assessment and taxation are resorted to.
A fundamental principle of our govern
ment is that all citizens are equal be
fore the law. Tbis includes publie
duties as well as rights, privileges ard
purogatives. The life and liberty of
every citizen is entitled to protection
equally with esery other citizen. No
distinction in this respect can be made
between the rich an 1 the poor.the high
or the low. The life and the liberty of
the most humble citizsn is as equally
dear and sacred as that of a president,
supreme judge, congressman, railroad
magnate, bank president or million
aire. And to the extent of the cost of
protecting life and liberty, this humble
citizen should contribute equally with
the millionaire. But all property should
be made to contribute equally to pay
the expens) and cost of its own pro tec
tien. We use the word "all" ad
visedly. i mMn t ) say that if a
man has one thousan I dollats and in
vests it in sheap, he sh uld be taxed on
one thousand dollars worth tf property,
and that tax should bo levied and col
lected in the county w'aere sech sheep
are kept. Bat :t another man puts
a thousand dollars in horses he, too,
should pay trx in the county where
such horse are located. If another
invests a thousand d m'ara in a lien up
on a farm,he, too, should be taxed upon
one thousand dollars worth of property
and the assessment mxn such property
should be made an J the tax collected
in the county where the owner of such
property has seen fit to locate it. If a
man in Portland puU his money into
sheep and puts those sheep on the grass
in Wasco county, he should pay taxes
on them in Wasco county. If a man
in Portland invests his money in a
mortgage in Linn county, the owner of
such mortgage should pay taxes i i Linn
county, whose coutts and local govern
mental officials are to be invoked to
protect him in all his rights under the
mortgage. But we are told that to tax
money is to be unfriendly to it, and
thus drive it out of tb j state. For the
same reason we might say that to tax
horses, sheep, hog, goats, etc., would
be unfriendly to such property and
would drive them out of the state. But
such property as the latter is just as
essential to the growth and prosperity
of the state as money, and our legisla
tors should be as tender towards it ai
money.
It is wholly unfair and foreign to
tor system of government to tax one
class of people at the expense of anoth
er. To let mortgages, notes, or money
go untaxed, would be taxing the own-
era of taxable property for the benefit
of the holders of mortgages, notes and
money. But we are told that if money
is allowed to come here free that the
rate of interest will soon go down and
money will be cheap. If this were
true, it would be taxing non borrowers
fto benefit borrowers, wb'ch would lack
the essential of fair dealing as weli as
equality of all citizens before the law.
But this is not necessarily true. Strange
that this argument should be made al
most wholly by those who loan money.
A man who loans money does not want
money to be cheap, that is be does not
want the rate of interest to be low.
Then why should he depend upon the
force of tbis argument to induce the
legislature to repeal the mortgage tax
law ? Those lenders who make use of
this argument are uncandid and selfish
about it. Again, wj are told that
lands are taxed at one half or two-thirds
their value, while money and mort
gages are assessed at tieir full value.
We admit that their is ground for this
complaint. But this is not the fault
of the law, but the fault. of the assessors
who, for various reasons, have fallen
into the habit of thus assessing lands.
Assessors in many cases have thu-
assessed lands for less than their value
for the purpose of keeping up friendly
relations with the tax payers who are
supposed to control county conventions.
Assessors have also assessed property
low in order that their counties might
escape state taxation. We have no
hesitation in expressing the belief that
farmers will be folly satisfied to bee
lands 83 well as other ptoperty taxed
at their full value. The only safe course
for the legislature to pursue is to enaci ;
I such laws as will impose a tax upon all
I itnnnAf4V a sat ttn niAnav las rta-1 as. m nrK

gages or notes. Let the present mort
gage tax law stand, but with amend
ments if neosasarv. There is no dis
guising the faot that before the mort
gage tax law was passed, hundreds of
thousand! of dollars in notes escaped
taxation, because their owners saw fit
to leave them out of their statements
to the assessor. It was then the farm
ers time to growl, and he had just
oause for complaint. Tbis offense was
removed by the passage of tbe mort
gage law. Now if It be true that many
have came of complaint in land not
being taxed at its value, we hope the
legislature will remedy the evil, but
not st the expense of tbe repeal of the
mortgage tax law. There must be
equality and fair dealing between the
money lender and land owner.
Kassoo, American minister to Beilin
in Germany, gave a Thanksgiving dinner
to Americans ia that city. Shortly
after, the report gained currency in the
United States tbst cheering for Cleve
land was indulged in at the dinner,
whereupon Kassoo, when he heard of
the report, rushed eff with a telegram
to the press of the west for publication,
deaounotng the report as a "willful
falsehood." Now, the question arises,
what if "loyal" Americans in Berlin
did eheer their president elect t Is not
tbat the very thing they should de?
Are not all who refuse to do so traitors
and copperheads? Is it not disloyal
to do otherwise 7 is not "the very
flesh and blood of tbe president, the
government itself?"
If a "loyal man in Berlin on Thanks
giving Day sh uld direct bis cheers in
other directions, would he not subject
himself to a charge of giving vest to
the "rebel yell r These are awkward
questions to republicans, but tbe times
demand answers.

TheSlem corrtnom lent of tbe On
gonian says there is much prejudice in
tbe minda of Willsmette valley mem
bers of tbe Legislature against Portland,
both as to a Senator to be elected and
the legislation to be enacted by the
Legislature. It is unfortunate tbat
this kind of a feeling should enter into
tbe minds of Legislators when legisla
ting for tbe whole ststa.but as Portland
has exhibited much of the same feelin g
for years towards tbe valley, it is not
to be wondered at that a spirit of re
sentment should control the action of
valley members. Portland has herself
to blame for whatever of prejudice ex
ists against her.
About a year ago we opened polls for
the choice among our readers for presi
dent and vice president. It will be
remembered tbat 8. J. Tilden waa tbe
ehoice of a majority of those who voted.
But it is interesting to know tbat tbe
fallowing voters all gave their choice
for president on one postal card: G.
H. DeVauey, F. P. DeVaney, G. R.
Gein, E. W. DeVaney, Geo. Conner, R.
L. DeVaney. The choice was G rover
Cleveland. First choice of all for vice
president has McDonald and second
ehoice Hendricks.
