MARYLAND AVKM'K FAVOKKD
Citizens Kay It Is Only Direct Route
to interstate Span.
Declaring that " Maryland averse is
the only possible direct route to the
proposed Interstate bridge and that a
suitable outlet has to be provided to
connect with Delay street in Lower Al
blna, a large delegation representing im
provement organizations on the Penin
sula appeared before the city council
this morning.
Opposition was voiced to the proponed
boulevard system along t her river from
Alblna to St. John. They want the
boulevard built on the top of the bluff
and have Maryland avenue connect di
rectly with' the boulevard.
The chief complaint against the lower
boulevard is that it will make a 18 per
cent grade on Maryland avenue from i
Tremont to Delay streets. They argued
that the assessments for the present
proposed extension of Maryland avenue
be discarded and the entire district re
assessed. The people of St. Johns and other dis
tricts far out on the. Peninsula have
been fighting for the lower nouievaru,
for if built it is said that the street car
eompany will build a line and establish
direct transportation without stops. The
members of the council promised to glv
fhe matter consideration. v

SOMERS TAXATION
- SYSTEM EXPLAINED
' TOREALTY BOARD
i (Continued From Page One.)
buildlriKS in the United States pay
something like $1,000,000,000 a year in
taxeB for the support of state and local
institutions. There Is no one who Is
familiar with the all but complete lack
of system In determining taxable values
of real estate who will not say that at
least 25 per cent of this enormous
amount of money Is lnequitaoiy a-
seKsed. Two hundred and fifty million
! dollars are thus, by governmental au-
thorlty. taken unjustly out of the pock
ets of some real estate owners for the
benefit of other owners
"Making all possible allowance for
conscious favoritism by assessors, It is
fair to say that most of this advantag
Is gained by those whose assessed valu
atlons are proportionately low simpi
because there has heretofore existed no
equitable standard for the appraisal o
real estate. We liave adequate stand
ards for measuring all other conunodl
ties except land values.
"Vie. paygfeaTTfespe"cT to the "effl
cioncy expert who can analyze our In
dustrial problems. V pay much at
tention to municipal, county, school and
state budgets, and we employ accoun'
ants to watch carefully the expenditure
of tiublio money after it has reached
the public treasury. But all the graf
possible in any city under the worst
possible conditions is insignificant In
comparison with the inequities result
I ing from the unscientific tax valuatio
methods, whicn are not confined to any
locality or city or state.
Assessors Lack Vroper Tools
"Two weeks ago, in a conference with
the city officials of Baltimore, Mayo
Preston declared that the assessment
of that"' city bore no possible relation
to the values of the real estate. Two
days before I heard the same story in
a Connecticut city. On Wednesday the
8pokane tax records disclosed the same
situation. Jt is not to be wondered at
when we realize that the advance made
in all other departments of the ad
ministration of publlo affairs has been
Ttrenlea - 1ft We Tatx " assessment depart
nient, because that department has no
possessed the proper tools for making
the assessments equitable, and because
taere has not been a general under
standing of th fundamental principle.
"The. Somera system has, in Its in
atallation in 15 American 'and Canadian
cities, proven that It Is a scientific
tool, and that by Its use a tax assessor
may so appraise, the real estate within
his jurisdiction as to do justice to every
property owner. The tax assessor of
Multnomah county has "declared that lie
wants to equalise his assessments, and
it is my purpose to tell you something
of the mechanism of . the" new tool ho
proposes to use, and some of the bene
fits of Its use.
One Important Benefit.
"One of the most Important of these
benefits Is that under Somers system
methods taxpayers may. personally par
ticipate iri the study and determination
of .land values, which will be equalized
refore they are fixed. All who' are
familiar with assessment methods know
the impossibility of equalizing assess
ments through i reviewing boards. Near.

matlcal computation of corner Influence,
with 'overlap' tables for computing the
effect of unit values on opposite front
ages of a block so as to determine the
point at which one street unit value
meets the effect from the opposite
street, und with the 'zone' tables for
computing the values of lots of Irreg
ular shapes, each lot was computed as
to Its relative value, and the result was
accepted as fair by all the owners, not
withstanding the Increase of 65 per
cent of land values and the Increase
of nearly 2 per cent in improvement
values.
"And similar results have been ac
complished in every city where the sys
tem has been applied.
"There are many c'ollatera) benefits
of the adoption of an equitable stand
ard fe-r a tax assesnment. One of the
most Important of these benefits is the
standardization of Bite values. Salc3
prices have closely followed the Somers
values elsewhere, and the owners of
Portland real estate could demonstrate
to prospective buyers the fair values
of properties offered, either for 'sale or
as collateral for loans.
Accurate Inventory Possible.
"The city could compile an accurate
Inventory of the value of the property
owned by the city and UBed In municipal
activities, as the lysis for a modern
bookkeeping system, sucn as nas re
cently been, established by the city of
Cleveland. Your school authorities and
your county authorities could do this
also.
"In the opening of new streets, as
they may be required, your city authori
ties would be protected against exces
sive demands and could apply exact
methods for the computation of bene
fits of such city improvements, and
jvluitlier, .in- fact, iu:h..auprovmaita sie 1
justirieu, ror in ract lew sireei exten
sions are justified unless they will in
crease land values in an amount equal
to their cost.
"And above all Is the psychological
advantage of special confidence on the
part of taxpayers In the "fair deal' that
will have beeh consummated by the es
tablishment of equity, and the possible
material reduction of the tax rate with
out injury to anyone.
Unit-Foot Is Yardstick.
"Now. let us remember that the Som
ers unit-foot Is the yardstick. Tlis
unit-foot Is one foot of a frontage with
a depth of 100 feet, representing tho
value of the usefulness of the block
frontage due to a single element of
accessibility one street froptage.
Based upon the Investigations of many
thousands of situations in many cities,
Mr. Somers has determined that 72 34
per cent of the value of the 100 feet of
depth In the unit-foot lies in the 50 feet
nearest the street, leaving but -7Vs pet
cent of the value In the rear 60 feet.
.TWa.rulaliIeca,itoni-Jithfcrarin..4i3, .in-L
that it gives greater value to the haif
of the unit x-losest to the street.
"The first act of the assesor In the
ue of the Somers system is to prepare
a map showing tiiocK outlines for the
central business district of his city. He
tentatively determines the value of the
Somers unit-foot upon all block front
ages In this district, and uses these ten
tatlve unit values as the basis for pub
lic discussions in which all citizens are
invited to participate; afterwards ex
tending his work through the entire
city, and having the henefit of the cen
tral districts for constant comparison
of judgments. t
System Well High Infallible.
"The consensus of onlnion which ma v.
under the Somers system methods, be
obtained from the community, is a well
nigh infallible guide to relative and
actual values. L.ittle Information can
be gained from property owners as to
the value of their holdings ho long as
the assessor attempts to talk only about
individual lot values. But when ci.i
sens begin to talk about street value
they can and will talk Intelligently. In
Des Moines, Iowa, the relative values
of the. Somers unit-foot upon the front
age of more than 100 blocks in two sep
arated business centers were deter
mined by two edmmltteeS of cltlstena,
working independently, without publicly
expressing the dollar value .of a single
frontage.
My experience is that not more than
per cent of the taxpayers in any com
munity wiliytake advantage of their
iicnuwm ii (nen u opportunity in
the matter of. tax assessment. The
other 98 per cent are not only willing.
tfut glad, as well, ..to pay their propor
tionate share of taxes If they are as
sured that everyone will be treated fair
ly and equitably and on exactly , the
same-basis.''
Mr. Pollock briefly sketched the man
ner of assessing buildings' under the
Somers system, showing that this fea
ture of assessing property has'also been
reduced to a science that is fair aud
equitable. : : ;- i " ;

This is the policy of the American

adoption of resolutions which preserve
the Brewery Workers' union and pro
vide for the breaking up of the Car

union.
An effort was made ty the Inter

isdiction over teamsters of mineral
water and soft drink -wagon drivers, how
members of tbe Brewers' union.
During1 the debate it developed that
many brewery owners, finding the de
mand for beer falling off, have taken
up the bottling of soft drinks, and that
the brewers were forced to Include these
workers In their union to retain control
A roll call vote was demanded add
the brewers' right to control these
teamsters was upheld. by, a vote of
H,08t to 4085.
Delegates representing the metal
trades, carpenters, electrical workers
and upholsterers, claimed Jurisdiction

shown that this union lias, less mm

also that the trade unions claiming
jurisdiction are planning'-a big cam
