Commissioners' Court of Lincoln county will be in session next week, commencing Wednesday morning, when will' undoubtedly In- taken up the matter of cruising the timU'r lands of this county for the purpose of assessment. It isthc unanimous sentiment of the taxpayers nnL residents of the county that the Court should order a cruise made at the coming term of court, as is evidenced by the many petition filed, and the Court being simply the agents of the people we lielieve should and will consider their wishes, especially when there will not Ik; a dissenting voice against the proposition, unless there should ! some timber syndicates or t"' ci . agents, who desire to avoid their proportion of taxation. We do not believe Lincoln' county has any such, as far as our acquaintance g we believe our timber dealers all t be fair men, not seeking to 'avoid any just assessments to the detii ment of Lincoln county. We all know that the only way to ever get an equal assessment is to, let cm tracts toui responsible man, have a uniform cruise of the whole county, require a sufficient lond,and require contractor to furnish permanent plats showing amount of timlier on 1 each f,)rty acres- lf we tthis the Coul"t and all the people will lie. (Satisfied. This plan is no experi- ' mo,,t- Jud ard of Lontoi. county writes that they hired John Hyde by the day to do their cruis ing. He was appointed Deputy Assessor, and by his cruise added $880,000 to Benton's tax roll. Polk, Yamhill, Clatsop and Colum bia counties let contracts by the acre, requiring plats showing amount of timler on each forty. All five counties agree on this, The cruise was entirely satisfactory to our Court and people." W. A. Harris, Clerk of Columbia county, Knvs. "It seems to mo it is the onlv expense of cruising in this county. At one time we had a great deal of trouble about the assessment of timber lands, but since we have had the cruise of the county we have had very few complaints, as the owner of timber lands pays taxes on exactly what he owns and noth ing more. If he owns a valuable claim he is taxed with it, and if he owns a poor one he pays according ly. It pays to have responsible men do the cruising, then when the , cruise is completed you feel satisfied j that you have something that you can depend on." Just now while all our people are united on making a greater j Lincoln county, let people and Court walk together, get our six i billion feet of timberon the tax roll I at a just and equitable valuation , support our Court, pay our debts, , inijurove our roads and schools, 1,11,1 uu naWjr- i i i .
