North Portland harbor, which was
constructed through government and
private subscription- for the sum of
$52,246, has shoaled up so that the
Tort of Portland commission may not
be able to keep It up, according: to In
formation brought before the commis
sIod at Its meeting yesterday. Sur
veys made Monday, September 28, by
Captain Archie Pease and Captain H.
T. Orovcs show 84 feet of water at
sero In a channel dredged to a depth of
20 feet and a width of 200 feet early In
the year.
' C. C. Colt, president ; of the Union
Meat company, has asked the Port of
Portland commission to maintain a 20
foot channel through the slough to the
harbor. Although the channel was fin
Ished In early March, but one steamer,
th nli. ThA itcimtr Rose CitV. has
ever been up the slough to the plant.
Salaries Are Gut.
The belief was expressed by several
members of the commission that to
maintain a 20 foot channel would
necessitate the keeping of one dredger
on that channel the year around. This
the commission feels unable to do, yet
through the legislative amendment to
their charter put through two years
ago the commission Is supposed to so
maintain , the channel. The matter
was laid' on the table, pending In
vestigation.
A 10 per cent cut In the nslsrics of
all employes of the commission was
ordered by unanimous vote. A con
aiderable saving Is expected to result.
The board also decided, that in the
future it would dig up till 100 feet of
any wharf without a waiver being
asked and would, free of charge to
the property owner, dig within 60 feet
of the wharf providing a waiver of
any possibly resulting damage was
given.
Contracts for furnishing materials
for the old machinery of the dredger
Columbia, which Is to bo soon trans
ferred to the newly constructed hull,
were let to various firms, the total
amount Involved being $12,262.35.
Aids Are Received.
Bids of $5675 and $6575 were re
ceived from Oscar Strand and F. A.
-ferry for trie sheathing of the Don
toons of the municipal drydock and
were referred to a committee for In
vestigation.
Leases for the pilotage and towage
department quarters on the O.-W. R.
A N. company's docks at Astoria and
Portland were signed at the same fig
ures as have prevailed in former
years.
A lease was also ordered signed by
the manager with the Western Coop
erage company for the two acre strip
of land the cooperage company had
asked of the commission.
After a wait of throe months the
pilotage money claimed as a refund
by the Hamburg-American Steamship
company and amounting to $2600 was
ordered paid to that company. Free
pilotage was extended to this com
pany and the Royal Mail In light of
4helr having established a monthly
service between Europe, the orient and
Portland. Two of their steamers
missed this port, one through being
wrecked and the other owing to busi
ness reasons and their refund had been
held up.

Portland. Or. A Tax Code Commissio n Bill. Its purpose Is to require the
governor to appoint a commission of of five members to prepare a new tax
code and present the same to the legislature first meeting after the ap
pointment of the commission, and appropriating $2500 to pay clerk hire and
other expenses of the commissioners, but no salaries to be paid members of
the commission. Vote yes or no; 344 Yea 345 No
It is stated in this bill that the tax,
laws now In force in Oregon are insuf
ficient for the meeds of the people and
unsatisfactory to citizens and people
that general prosperity depends large
ly upon equitable taxation, that many
bills have been presented which are
crude. Imperfect and Inequitable, and
that a broad and satisfactory tax law
can only be expected after an exhaus
tive analysis has been made of tax
laws here and elsewhere, and a new tax
code baa been drafted by a commission
of five, composed of citizens and tax
payers, who shall serve without com
pensation. An appropriation of 32500
la proposed to pay the commission's
xpenaas.
The affirmative argument submitted
by the Non-Par tisan league to an ex
tent restates the subject matter of the
bill, especially In reference to the need
f equitable tax law revision.
The present tax laws, when enacted,
fairly distributed the burden of taxa
tion, it is stated, but are now Intoler
able In their results, because of mod-

"Therefore," continues the affirma
tive argument, "we arejrwamped at
each election with tax reform meas
ures. This year there are seven on the
ballot.
'The Non-Par tisan league presents
one (No. 344-34S on the ballot) and the
State Tax Commission presents two
(Nos. 308-309 and 110-311 on the bal
lot). These measures must be nassri
before Oregon can have reform in Its
tax taws-i we Deiieve in reform, and,
therefore, recommend these measure "
Another paragraph of the affirmative
reads;
"Under the hit-or-miss system of
passing; tax laws, which we have in
this state, we spend our money blind
ly, only to find that our property Is
less saleable than last year that it is
less valuable than It used to be that
new enterprises stay away from Ore
gon that old enterprises leave it
that Oregon Is like the leper of Japan,
no -one will touch It nor visit It. and
no one will invest nor loan money in
