Pacific -Bail ways, Advertis
ing Co. Will Appeal From
Assessment Levied as Mer
chandise Officials Look
to Legislature ' .
Asserting that Its privilege of handl
ing; streetcar advertising In Portland
Is not "merchandise." and that It pos
sesses ' no stock that can " be called
merchandise, the Pacific Railway Ad
vertising: company has tiled a notice of
appeal from the action of the county
board of equalisation, Which last week
refused to expunge or lower an assess
ment of 120,000 for the present year.
County Assessor Slgler ascertained
that the company paid $20,000 for the
exclusive' privilege of .handling the ad
vertising In the streetcars In Portland.
He held that' the company should be
assessed for that amount. But how was
he to describe the thing to be assessed?
It is not a franchise, nor real estate,
nor 'could It be defined as money, notes
and accounts. Apparently the com
pany's property ; had to be listed as
"merchandise,"' though the most of Its
value la intangible.
When the time came for filing pro
tests with the county board of enualtza
tlon the advertising concern presented
a long application for cancellation of
ita assessment. It declared, in sub
stance, that what merchandise it owns
is carried in San-Francisco, and that
It has no taxable property in Oregon,
except Its office furniture. But County
Judge Webster, Clerk Fields and Asses
sor Sigler . would not concede that the
assessment should be stricken off, and
the 320,000 figures remain ,4on the
books.
Await Court's Decision.
It was clear . that if the company
had invested $20,000 here In land, build
ings, jewelry, hardware, groceries, or
in almost any other conceivable form.
It would be takable on that amount.
Then why, It was argued, should ,it
be allowed to escape without paying a
cent on its investment?
Now that an appeal has been taken,
the matter will go into the circuit court
for Judicial determination. There is
apparently little doubt that the courts
will cancel the assessment and rule
that the privilege of advertising here
Is not merchandise. County officials
are apparently not sanguine that the
courts will uphold the assessment, but
they hope that the weak spot thus re
vealed in the law may be remedied by
the next session of the legislature,
O. B. W. Will Hot Appeal.
A. C. Spencer, representing the O.
R. & N., has stated that he will not
appeal this year from the assessment,
which was reduced by the equalizers
from $14,400,000 to $2,700,000; The
assessment Is not quite as low as the
railroads wanted, but the company is
fairly well satisfied.
Tomorrow will be the last day for
filing notice of appeal from the action
of the board' of equalisers. It Is
thought unlikely that other appeals
will be made unless they come from
some of the big Implement companies,
which were heavily assessed on money,
notes and accounts. These firms claim
that their notes and accounts are col
lected in the east and should not be
assessed in Oregon.
ENGINEER ON
MISSING LIST
Lew Weatherford, 808 First- street, a
river steamer engineer, who has lived
In Portland many years, has disappeared.
The last seen of him was last Sunday,
when he left home, skying he would

Weatherford telephoned to a friend

gon City. . An investigation was made
and the telephone company reported
that Weatherford had been In Vancou
ver, Wash., when he had telephoned to
