X-' March 14 gressman Bailey ,ef i Pennsylvania, chairman of the committee on mileage, proposes eradlcal change in Diatrlct of Columbia real estate assessments in a bill pending in congress. The proposed law contemplates the assessment of land and Improvement separately. The bill provides for. a gradual re duction of assessment. ' against im- " provements, so that eventually they hall be taxed at hot more than 50 per "cent of their true value.; It is a meas ure similar in many respects tothe bill now pending in the New York leg islature, which provide for a gradual nf lucMmcnti aa-ainst im provements to a roaxlmuta of 50 per cent of their true value, 'ine cauey liill follow: . "Be it enacted, by the senate and bouse of representatives of the United States of America in congress assem bled, that hereafter in the assessment - of. property in the District of Colum bia . the value of Improvements In, on or under the land shall be set forth by the assessors in a column in the as sessment rolls separate from the value of the land : Provided; that, beginning with the year 1916, an annual charge of ft per centum for depreciation shall be made against all improvements in said District, this amount to be deducted , from the assessed value of such prop erty:. Provided further, that. In add! tloii to the .amount charged off for de preciation, there shall annually be further reduction of 10 per centum for a period of five years in the 'total as sessment against Improvements, so that at the end of that period Improve ments in no case shall be assessed at more than 60 per centum of their value. "And provided further, that hereafter personal property, including household goods, merchandise, money in Danlc, stocks, notes, bonds, mortgages and other evidences of debt, jewelry, horses and other domestic animals, carriages, eutomobilrs, books, machinery, imple ments, tools, office fixtures and furni ture, boats, tugs and other vessels, lo comotives, cars. ; wagons, carts, drays and like vehicles, shall be wholly ex empt from taxation; but It is expressly provided that the value of all fran chises shall be considered and treated as land values and assessed on the ' same basts as other land values, for purposes of taxation." Baked on the proposition that "No trade can be secured to Portland with out Portland controlled shins in con nection with the proposed government railroad in Alaska, preliminary organ ization to promote ship service between Portland and the western 'Alaska ter minus of the railroad, authorized in the Chamberlain bill which the president has now signed, was accomplished at meeting yesterday at noon in the Commercial club.

The following committee on permanent organization was chosen waiter S. Asher, chair man; W, B. Glafke, K. H. Brown, J. C. English and Samuel Connell.

TAXICAB COMPANY MAY INSTITUTE SUIT . i The Oregon Vfaxlcab company has notified all . competitors operating "brown" cab that they must change . the color by April 1 and that If they do not do . so voluntarily legal pro ceedlngs will be instituted to com pel them. A few weeks ago the company ob tained an injunction in the circuit . court restraining N. E. Nellsen fron . operating a brown colored cab and is now proposed to obtain a similar restraint against ethers. The (Oregon Taxlcab company does not claim that it can copyright a colo ' but contends that it has built up its business under "the distinctive color scheme of brown and that it will pro teot its Interests, through court In junction, against any imitation or in - fringement Intended to deceive the , public. When the company began business five years ago it had its equipment painted brown and all Its stationery was of the same color. It was ad :. vertlsed as the "brown company" and ' Its vehicles became generally known i as the '"brown taxis." f The adoption of the brown color by competitors led. It Is alleged, to a great confusion among patrons and loss of revenue and reputation. Complaints of overcharge and misconduct Of driver were erroneously made by customers who failed to distinguish between the owners of the different taxlcabs.

' j ' SHOWS MARKET NEED OF EASTERN OREGON COOPERATION WITH i EACHERS URGED Parents Asked to Help the School Work by Superin- tendent Alderman. I Eastern Oregon's crying need of mar keting facilities is vividly set forth in a letter from L. E. Morse, manager of the John Day Development company. Spurred by . the glowing accounts of record breaking potatoes in Multnomah county, Mr. Morse has risen to the de fense of his section of the state, and particularly the part drained by the John Day river, by sending to Port land several specimens of i the kind of potatoes grown at Spray in Wheeler county. The potatoes in question were grown without irrigation and were only culti vated twice. Mr. Morse claims that not a county in Oregon can raise as good potatoes as are grown along the John Day river, but he adds, there are no market facilities. He says in. part: '"mere is not a county in Oregon that can raise as good potatoes as are grown on the John Day river, nor grow them as cheap. If Portland will help us to a railroad we will supply them with bet ter pork, cornfed chickens and pota-1 toes than they are getting now. We are for closer connections with Port land a central warehouse for wool." The tubers sent by Mr. Morse from Spray are fully as large and as hand some as any thus far shown by local growers.
