SUMMARY DEMAND
MADE ON CASTRO
STATE OSPAB
go west to utstst o$r
Or ASPHALT PHOPEX
EOEIVBUEIP VaTTXXj CASE
M ADJUDICATED.
(Journal Special Harries.)
Washington, Aug. It. The state de
partment has instructed Minister Bowen
to demand of President Castro that he
instruct hla attorney general to dis
miss thai receivership proceedings
against the New York and Bermudes
Asphalt company properties pending a
final adjudication of the ease.
Some weeks ago Castro demanded
$$.($0,000 of the asphalt trust, many
of the membera of which are New York
ers, asserting chat the company had
given material aid to the revolutionary
movement, causing the Venezuelan gov
ernment to spend that amount. Tha
government, by a motion before the fed
eral court, the defense being , unrep
resented, placed an attachment on all
the properties of the company, espe
cially on the asphalt lake at Ouanaco,
and Senar Cajmar was appointed re
ceiver, and seizure was made on July 29.
Second Approach to a Clash.
This Is tha second time that Vene
zuela has been dangerously near a clash
with the T'nlted States over Asphalt
Trust affairs. There was great bitter
ness between the two countries during
the pendancy of tha Warner Quintan
claim to the pitch lakes held by tha
trust. But finally, laat January, Cas
tro's federal court decided for tha trust.
and the trouble waa averted.
The asphalt properties are worth 140,-
000,000, and have aroused the cupidity
of Castro. The trust has been able to
get no favors from him, and he haa put
all klnda of obstacles In Ita way. If
waa he who sold the FellcMad asphalt
lakes to tha Warner at Qulnlan people.
although the asphalt trust owned them,
and this virtual confiscation lad to laat
year'a trouble. The title of the Amer
ican trust Is clear, being a grant from
the Venezuelan government In 1883.
Castro Weeded tha Money.
Castro also tried to sell some prop
erty of the asphalt people to Flndlay
Brown, of Philadelphia, for no other, ap
parent reason than that he needed the
money, but the transfer was not made.
Now this latest attack by Castro on
the asphalt peonle la a peculiar one. He
declares they not only Incited the Matos
revolution, but that one of their agents
fitted out the filibustering steamer Ben
RIgh, afterward the Llbertador. He al
so accuses General Francis V. Qreene
of advising tha leaders of the revolu
tion.
Part of the Castro case against the
New York ft Bermudex company Is
criminal. But he has produced no evidence-to
give it serious significance.
FEARS CITY TAXES
MAY BE BOOSTED
COUMTT ASSESHOB SBEgS TO SB-
oraa pujdoe or couaorxitaa
THAT RAISE lit VALUATION WILL
MOT aa TAKEN ADVANTAGE OT,
BUT TAILS.
Several months ago, when County
Assessor C. K. McDonell began the work
of assessing valuations for the next tax
levy, he decided, after consultation with
prominent taxpayers and with officials
of the city and county, to make a gen
eral raise In the assessment roll. Tha
expectation was, of course, that there
would be at least a corresponding da
crease In the rate of taxation, so- that
the sum to be collected from the tax
payers would be no greater than It la
now. Hitherto property has been
aaaessad at approximately 10 per cent
of ita actual value, necessitating a com
paratively high tax rats. By raising the
basis of valuation to about 70 per cent
of the actual value, with a correspond
ing decrease in tha levy, the county
would conform more nearly to the prac
tice In eastern states and Its credit
would be materially enhanced.
The preparation of the asseaament roll
has been In progress for several months.
The work of sssesslng Improvements has
been completed, and valuations hsve
been fixed on about one-third of the real
estate in the county. In pursuance of
the plan adopted by the assessor, a gen
eral raise haa been made, ao that the
basis of assessment of both Improve
ments and land has been 70 per cent of
the market value, instead of SO per cent.

vy Taxes.
The constant clamor for more funds
for the city arouaed the fear that the
city council. In fixing the rata of tax
for city purposes, might refuse to make
a reduction corresponding to tha in
crease In valuations, and no might in
crease the burden Imposed upon the tax
payer. In the last levy the council
fixed tha maximum rate allowed by the
charter, 7 mills for general municipal
expenses, with 2V4 mills additional for
Interest upon the bonded debt. If with
$20,000,000 added to the assessed valu
ation the council should still Insist upon
a maximum rate of city tax, something
like $140,000 would be added to the
amount which the taxpayers of the city
would be obliged to pay.
With the idea of preventing any such
addition to their burden. Assessor Mc
Donell decided to obtain, if possible.
some Rssurance from the members of
the city Council that they would make
no material Increase In the amount to
be raised for city purposes. A written
statement was therefore prepared
pledging the councllmen to a city- tax
rate which ahould yield not to exceed
$466,000 Including provision for inter
est on the bonded debt. The total city
tax this year was $437,303. so that the
limit proposed allowed an increase of
over $27,000, which it was thought
should be enough to meet actual re
quirements. Councilman Wont Tl oinlse
If the city levy were restricted to
$466,000, the slight Increase over the
last levy could probably be offset by
a reduction In county expenditures, so
that the total of city and county taxes
would not exceed that of the previous
levy.
But opposition wss encountered when
the councllmen were aaked to sign tha
stipulation which tha assessor had pre
pared. Councilman Flegel positively re
fused to bind himself In any way, and
several of his colleagues have taken the
same attitude. "Neither the assessor
nor any one else haa the right to ask
the councllmen to pledge themselves In
thla way." said Mr. Flegel today. "What
ever the aasessed valuation may be, wa
shall certainly make the city tax rate
as low as possible. The assessor's duty
is to fix valuations, not to determine
what the city levy shall be."
There are others, however, who argue
that the county assessor would not be
Justified In making so great a raise In
valuations unless reasonably assured
that It will not Involve an Increase In
the burdens of the taxpayers.
Says' Burdens Are Heavy.
"For one, I should be unwilling to
give the council the opportunity to In
crease city taxes," said one property
owner. "I believe that there Is a great
deal of waste In the present administra
tion or municipal affairs, and If the
valuations are to be raised we ought
to have some assurance that the tax
rate will not go higher, too. Before
giving the council the chance to spend
more money than they do now, the tax
payers should be thoroughly Informed
as to the manner In which the present
revenue is expended."
There are few, If any. large cities in
the country where the assessed valua
tion of property Is so small In compari
son with the market value, as Is Port
land. The total of the city's assess
ment roll last year was $46,084,634. to
which the remainder of the county
added about five millions more. The
city's bonded debt, exclusive of Im
provement bonds. Is $6,716,600, or about
12 per cent of the assessed valuation.
To eastern Investors it appears that the.
city's debt is out of all proportlbn to
Its assets, snd the natural result Is the
Impairing of the city's credit. Portland
pays A much higher rate of Interest
than it should upon Its bonds Upon
most of them the rate Is 6 per cent. This
Is attributed, In large part at least, to
the low valuation and the oonsequent
high tax rate.
The proportion of state taxes which
must be paid by Multnomah 'county la
not affected by the valuation of tax
able property, being established upon
the basis of county expenditures.

"The wheat crop of Morrow county
will be somsthlng Immense this sea
son," said L. T. Anderson, of lone, who
la visiting in ths olty.
Mr. Anderson was formerly a well
known school teacher of Clackamas
county, living on Beaver creek. A little
over four years ago he went to Morrow
county, and located on a homestead six
miles from lone, on the prairie upland.
He has not been farming himself, but
rents out his land to a widow, who haa
over a section of ground in wheat. This
woman went there with her husband
about five years ago and located a home
stead. Soon afterward the husband
died, leaving the widow with two small
sons. She embarked In wheat raising,
and leased other lands beside the 160
acres contained in the homestead, and
has made money.
It costs but little to produce wheat
in that country, as all the work Is done
by machinery. Six or eight horses at
tached to gang plows break the ground,
and the seed Is covered with disc har
rows on the same extensive plan. No
one walks In doing farm work In that
country, as the harvesting also is done
by the latest Improved machinery.
"Wheal can be raised cheaper In
esstern Oregon than in any other part
of the United Slates," said Mr. Ander
son. "It la estimated that four 'bushels
to the acre will pay for harvesting the
crop, consequently the profits come
easy. No irrigation is needed, but there
is no convenient timber in that coun
try, and the wood is shipped in by rail
from the Columbia river to lone, where
alabwood sells fdr $$.76 per cord, arid
body fir, $4.75."
Mr. Anderson teaches school, and does
not do any work on his farm except
making needed improvements. The sec
ond year after he located his homestead,
a 2500-bushel crop of wheat was raised.
Last year there was a short crop of
wheat In Morrow county, but the yield
this year is estimated at many millions
of bushels.
