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.
