Lincoln County H,eaEcr OFFICIAL COUNTY PAPER OOLlINS fc II AY DEN, Piblishers fcnurect HI the iKistofliee at Toledo, Oregon, u ecoud-Cia niail matter. SUBSCRIPTION RAItA One Yoar - . -S'.x Months - - Tliree Months - fl 5() To 50 Lincoln County's Lemon. Since the tax roll has K-en turned over to the Sheriff and our citizens have heen coming in to pay their taxes the rottoncst assessment known in Lincoln county is , showing up. In some instances the valuation of property is unreasonably high while in others it is unn;isonahy low. The people have a kick coming and thefr are exercising that right. Here are a few examples of last year's assessment: Kensell & Williams who own 40 acres of non-tillable land within the incorporate limits of the city of Toledo are assessed at S3 per acre. Adjoining this land, just outside the city limits, and identicallyythc s:ime kind of land, J. W. Robertson jj fiuuoauivl -it ft17 per itcro for nr.n tillable hind mid '20 for tillable. Adjoining Robertson the land of Daisy L. Reeves is' valued at 620.30 for non-tillable and 20 for tillable land. All the above lands are in the same condition. Why should one man be assessed at 620.30 and the other at 63 per acre? W. II. Vertner is assessed at 630 per acre for tillable and 638 for non tillable. A. M. Smith is assessed at 83 for non-tillable and $15 for tillable. M. J. Thompson is assessed at $11 an acre for non tillable. Mr. Thompson owns a small farm of 70 acres on the hillside two miles from T.dudo and his land ,is all classed as non-tillable. Mr. Smith owns a $70(K) ranch of 143 acres just across the river from town and pays eighty four cents less taxes than does Mr. Thompson with his $500 or $1000 ranch. Is that just? Knud Kendricksen on Beaver creek is assessed at $50 an acre for tillable and $3 for non-tillable. The above are but a few examples of the unjust assessments and valu ations found on the roll. Is it any wonder the people are omplahiiiifc.? If Mr. Lutz, our Assesscr, wants to serve the people honestly and fairly why don't he throw up his job in Portland and move back to Lincoln county and conduct the duties of Assessor as it should be conducted. Or, if, as it' appears, he docs not intend to serve the people who placed him in ollice, why does he not resign and allow the Court to appoint an Assessor who will do the work. I'orthni'l is dc.stir.cd to soon he roine one of the largest packing house cities in the country. Louis 1 Swift, president of tlie packing establishment of .Swift & Co. of Chicago, was in Portland lust tveek anil gave out the information that his company would within a few months commence the expenditure of alH.tit $4,000,000 in constructing a packing plant at Portland. De sides the Swift people the Armour and the Schwartzciiild it Sulzberger companies own land there and are to Ix-gin building their plants in the near future. Iist week's Reporter in giving the lxilitioal situation inthiscounty mentions the possible candidacy of Walter Dall for the office of Asses sor. We do not know what Mr. Dall's asspi rations are but we do know that the people of this county could not find a Ix-tter man for the office. Mr. Pull is an old resident of the county and is well acquainted with the valuations of land in all sections, lie has had experience in assessing in the Kast Ix fore coming to Oregon, and we Ulieve lie would conscientiously serve the people of this county in that capacity if he should decide to run.
