"The Somers System. What It la and What It Does." was the aubject of an ad&reas delivered by Orth G. Guild, vice-prealdent of the Manufacture Appraisal company, of Cleveland, Ohio, before the Oregon Civic league, at the annual weekly meeting of the organisation last Tuesday. Mr. Guild represents his company In the Installa tion of the Somers System In the oflce of the assessor of Multnomah county. Ills address was In part aa follows: "One of the most eerloua things that my company has to contend with la the lack of general understanding as to what the "Somers System is. Many think that the system la nothing mora man a scheme to boost values and make them pay more taxes. Others think that It Is some automatic valua tion method that Is that It will. In Itaelf aseeen and value land. Now, at the outset I want to state that the Somers System doea nothing of the kind. Purpose la To Xquaitsa. "Ita purpoae Is to equalize, not to raise and It does not assess or value anything, any more than a comput ing scale determines the price per pound of the produce weighed upon it, and incidentally this Is a very good definition of the system. It Is a com puting scale, a machine. If you please, ,wlth which, Just as with the computing scale the dealer arrives at the value of produce, we compute the value of In dividual lota and Individual buildings after the unit, or price per pound, has been determined. "We will first consider the problem of valuing the land. . "The factors that affect the value of a given parcel or lot of land are three In number, location, size and shape. These are the fundamental things that must be considered. Assessors Have Wo Method. "Owing to the multiplicity of sizes and shapes of lots in any city It is manifestly Impossible for the assessor to equitably aasess, because he has no method by which he can measure the Influence of each of these three fac tors on any given lot. Under the Somers System we eliminate two of in en- lanors in ine menial operation of expressing value, size and ahape. This makes It necessary to consider only the factor of location and express this factor In some definite term. This la done by obtaining the value of a strip of ground in the middle of the block, one foot wide by 100 feet deep, which w call a unit foot. . "There la a mathematical relation between the values of all sites affected by the same street Influence. That this mathematical relation exists has been an accepted fact for many years. Hoffman mule Was Tirst. "The first definite expression of ll was made by the late Judge Hoffman of New York, when he said that the ront half of any lot Is worth two thirds" of the whole. That thla is not the right relation was soon discovered by students of the subject, and a Mr. Nell, a real estate dealer In New York, laid out a -curve, known as the Hoff-man-Nell rule.' In which the front 60 feet of a lot 100 feet deep was valued at 66 2-3 per cent. Many curves have since been plotted, some better, and some not as go"d. "Mr. Somers. however, was the first man to plot a curve based on a com pilation of the averages of actual salea. Besult of Systematic Study. "Hie curve 1s the result of a system atic study covering years of observa tion of actual conditions. With this curve as a starter, Mr. Somers per fected his system. The system con sists of formulae and mechanical de vices for using the law of constant effect of depth on the value of city lien, as aisciosea Dy nis curve. in making an assessment with the system we confine the expression of Judgment of value to the unit foot. The first step therefor Is the determination of .these unit foot values. "The method pursued is that of holding public meetings and asking the people to express their opinions of the values of the different streets and by intelligently questioning them TENTATIVE VALUES IN NORTH PART OF CITY 1 I IW1L.S0N I J 0 4-0 . 4-0 ' VAUGHN ' 40 Ai t ty.

"I rarely encounter cases of women who smoke excessively," said a prom inent London doctor. "Women smoke quite moderately, aa a rule. There la no doubt, however, that the cigarette nabit is growing." Five years ago the woman woo smoked was associated with Shavlan tsm and suf f racism : she was called unwomanly" and "not quite nice." To day the most respectable of feminine suburbanites smokes as a matter of course. . Inquiries at West End tobacconists elicited the fact that women have long since passed the stage where they de manded "ladies' cigarettes." A well known tobacconist said that bis lady customers smoked much the same brands as men. A hospital nurse said that almost every member of her pro fesslon smoked.' usually in their bed rooms, and that it required some In genuity to evade the vigilance of the matron.

Tables Are TTsed. ,irWhen the value of a unit foot has been determined on each of the four sides of a block the value of each lot Is then computed by the Somers tables. The depth curve is used for all Inside lots; that Is for all lots not affected by the comer influence. The Somers corner tables are used for computing the value of any lots coming within the Influence of two street units at a corner. The tables are figured for 100 feet by 100 feet at the corner, and will dis tribute the Influence of both streets over this area. They are arranged m that all possible combinations of street units are covered, thereby doing away with the old method of adding a per centage to the corner lot. Plat Sate Not Correct. "It is of course obvious that a flat rate of increase at the corner cannot be correct, when the value or the siae street may differ and does differ. For example, if it should happen that 50 Der cent was the right amount to add to a lot 50 feet by 100 feet at the corner of streets each having a unit of $1000, it is plain that 80 per cent could not" be right where the main street was 11000, and the side street unit waa but $600. Under the Somers System, the 1m provements are all carefully measured and the measurements, together with a complete description of the struc tural features of each are noted on a specially prepared card. A different card is used for each of the several types of buildings. From these cards the sauare feet of floor space is figured and the approximate cost of reproduction is computed by multiply ing by a factor previously determined after a comparison of local building costs. From this reproductive cost the present value is figured by deduct Ing a depreciation, which is based on the condition and age oi tne Duiiamgs. publio Invited To Examine.

Mr. Gompers is president Mr Mor neon secretary, and Mr. Mitchell one of the vice presidents of the American Federation of Labor. In the original action the three labor leaders were charged by Justice Wright of the district supreme court with contempt in that they were charged with con tinued publication, in the "We do not patronize" list of the American Federa- tlonlst, of the name of the Buck's Stove and Range company of St. Louis, after the court had Issued an injunction to restrain them from such publication. A sentence of one year's imprison ment was originally imposed on Presi dent Gompers, with nine months in Jail for Vice-President Mitchell and six months for Secretary Morrison. The district court of appeals reduced inese sentences to 30 days. wnen tn action was last before the supreme court of the United States Justice Lurton was absent from the nencn. The action of the highest tri bunal in restoring the case to the docket for rehearing has lead to the assumption that the court Is .divided on the knotty problem and desires to nave tne whole matter gone over again with Justice Lurton present. ine three labor leaders now eon- tend that further proceedings against them are barred by the statute of lim itations, while the district supreme court seeks to have its sentences stand as imposed.

Turks Destroy Old Reports to Sultan Documents Were Used by Deposed Abdul Saaild as Excuses for the Practice of Gross Cruelties. Constantinople, April 18. Thousands of documents, the reports of spies of the deposed Sultan Abdul Hamid, have been destroyed at the ministry of war. under the direction of the present Turkish cabinet. The "Journals" were found at Tlldls Kiosk at the time of the entry into Constantinople by the army of Macedonia under the command of Mohamud Shevket Pasha In April, 1909. After their discovery they were transported in hundreds of sealed eases from Yildis to the ministry of war for safe keeping. They were the work of policemen, of functionaries In search of promotion or powerful men in the ministries, who deaired to maintain themselves in power by flattering the warped lmagl nation of Abdul Hamid. These documents, the number of which is Incalculable, formed one of tbe delights of the old Imperial maniac, and constantly furnished him with op portunities for indulging his hatred. Exile, poisonings and assassinations were their cruel conaaquenoes, and thoae people who suffered most by them, it is said, are those who have now destroyed the last vestiges of the past regime of cruelty.
