"When a private Individual wants to buy such property he usually finds It is assessed at about 75 per cent of Its actual value This amendment would prevent prop erty owners from sticking the price of their property up several times too aign when Hhe public wants to buy it. Another, amendment proposed by As sessor Reed 'relates to assessing prop erty at cosh value. He said asses sors, In outside counties particularly. have considerable trouble in arriving at cash valjues under the provisions of the present; law. me proposed amendment says: ' "Cultivated and uncultivated tand of the same Character and quality, and similarly situated shall be assessed at the same value. "All property, real and personal nhall be assessed at its true cash value. In determining the true cash value of property :he assessor shall not ac cept . as tli criterion of value the wrlce for which said property Would sell at a forced sale, nor upon the Installment, - plan, with payments rtpread over a long period Of time, nor in the aggregate with all the prop erty of the county. In assessing real estate at its true cash value, the as sessor shall give consideration to the following factors, but neither singly nor collectively shall they be binding nor conclusive upon his judgment, to wit: i Must Use Precaution, "1.

LAV FAVORED; T LAND VALUES Measure Drafted at Instance of the Women; Amend ments Are Suggested, . By unanimous vote of thnu' 3ffni. ing the weekly luncheon yesterday, the Oregon Civic league went da record in favor of a "community property" law and instructed the president of th league, Municipal judge Johi. H. f-le venson. to apoolnt a cnmmitt in in, terview members of tho legislature in "pwn on out for such a law. RepresentaUva A. B ready introduced, a bill along this line. It Is liouse bill 38, and has been re ferred, to the judiciary committer of the house. This bill was draf tea at the instance of the women who are interested ia getting a community property law. but th civic i terday decided that one or two amend- rooms snouid he mads in the hill. Aa drafted, the bill provides that ail property acquired by husband or wife erter marriage, except when acquired by gift or bequest, shall be community property, Tiwned Jointly - hv - the in But the bill gives the husband the management and control ot both com munity personal property and comma nity Teal property. ,. Mutual Authority Urged. inig was the chief provision to which objection was trfade by members or me league and of which an amrr.tl- ment will be sought. .', They Want tho huskand and Wife to be elveti mutual authority in the management of com munity property. They also want the bill to define more definitely what vruperiy means. ; As Crafted, the bill in ariiHHntt in giving the hsuband the management of community personal property, gives him the same power of disposition of sucn property as he has of his seD. arate personal property, except he shall not devise by Will more than one -third lucreui. The husband la given the manage ment and control of community real property, but he cannot sell or encumber alien property without the wife Joining with mm in executing the deed or other in atrument of conveyance by which the property is conveyed or encumbered Property owned by the husband or wire Derore marriage, the bill rro vldes, Is to remain their separata prop' erty after marriage, subject to their disposal without regard to the othur It Is stated iti the act that its pro visions shall not prevent the husband ana wile entering into anv Bs-rta- ment concerning the status or dispo-J sltion of the Whole or any portion of j tha community property, to take ef fect upon the death of either. Womaa Attacks Present Plan. It is provided that the earnings and accumulations Of the wife and of her minor children living with her re the separate property of the wife. Provision Is made that the act, if enacted into law, shall shot be. con strued to be retroactive, and all prop erty titles existing prior to the time the law becomes effective shall be governed by present laws. "Oregon has the poorest property laws of almost any state in the Un ion," declared Mrs. G. L. Buland, who led the discussion of the proposed: law. "Under present laws a wire has no ownership of property after mar rlage. She has the right of dower, but in case of her death all of the communitiy property would be dis posed of by the husband." ,: She said that when the measure has been discussed by women's clubs, many of the women did not approve of the provisions Riving the husband sole authoritly of management and control of the community property. Others thought that this would bo as much as they could expect to get from the legislature at this time. She said the bill had been copied largely after the Washington law. Mrs. Buland said it had been renert- ed to her that there was a probability that the house judiciary committee would make an adverse report on th bill; and it was with' a hope of Pre venting this action that a special com mittee la to be appointed to take the matter up with the members of the committee, and also, to suggest certain amendments. Itsaae Bwett atrongly advocated ah amendment to give the wife mutual authority with the husband in tha management of community property. "Tha husband should riot be given any more power to manage the prop erty than la given the wife," ha de clared. "But, even without an amend ment, the bill is far -better than the present law. "it la an tniquity to al low a wife to work through all the years of , her married life, and then have only a dower interest in the property abcuriiulated."' Mfs. Mv u. Hidden also urged such an amendment. She declared it was ' a moral question, as well aft a financial one. "One of the happiest things we can do la this State is to place the contfOl of -community property in the hands of both husband and wife," she said. "It would promote domestic felicity. Men would not then hold their business aloof from their wives. , r ' I"" H i i " "i - i ' 1: , ir , , V.
