MARION TAKES NOTICE
Copies of Resolutions Sent
to Officials of Every
Oregon County ,
1 A resolution passed by the
county court of Columbia county
retarding the assersed valuation
of the public service corporations
for. that crinty and the actual
sum upon wulch the levy ral
made, has been sent out to th
various counties of the state, and
has been received by U. O. Boyerj
Marlon county cleric.
Without a thorough Investiga
tion of the matter, It would ap
pear that in Marion county, as in
Columbia, the actual sum upon
which the le-ry of the corporations
is made, is nofadjusted upon the;
same basis as that required to 3e
paid by individuals and other in
dustries of the county.

has not taken steps to endorse the
resolution and it la not thought U
will do ro until further Investiga
tion. However. In the opinion o:
Judge W. M. Bushey, property
values in other lines have not
been decreased by taxation but in
many eases increased, therefore it
vrould appear that the corpora
tlone have not been paying an
tfiuitable share of Ihp tax nurden,
if as the resolution Ftates. the ac
tual tax levy is not on more than
-'hi per cent of th- ectual TTLah
valua of corporation property.
Wlk Difference So-n
A copy o! the resolution set.t
out hy Columbia county courl '!
lews: i "Whereas It appears from the
records of the assessment of Co
lumbia count. Oregon, for the y?ar
1920, that the property within
the Said county, exclusive of that
owned and held by the public ser
vice corporation?, is assessed at
nearly its true and actual' cash
valu-s;
"And whereas, it appears fron
the statement issued by the state
tax commission of Oregon, thit
the property of the public serv'ce
corporations with'n Columbia
county is assessed for the said
year 1920, as follows:
' "RaHroads. $2,972.xff; tele-1
craph companies. $44. SCI. 32: tel
ephone companies. $61,402; but
that the actual sums upon whieh
the tax levy is made, are as fol
lows, to-wit: railroads, $1 HI 3,
444.60; telegraphs. $27,060.41:
telephones, 27.455.22,
Telephone Case Cited
"And wherear, It appears fronf
the foregoing quotations from
state statement issued by said
state tax commlrsion that the as
sessment of the property of ttt?
public srv!ee corporations of said
county is not greater than 25 per
cent of the actual cash., value ot 1
such property, and that the sum
upon which the actual tax levy It
made does not exceed 2D" per cent
of such actual cash value, and
probably not that much.
And whereas, it appears from
the evidence adduced at the late
telephone hearing at Portland,
that the rate base value of the
telephone , company's property
alone, in the state of Oreeon for
the year 1920, was $15,688,110
and that the tax for said year,
against said company, covering
ajl of the counties in the state
was actually levied upon a base of
$5,761,629.79,
Redaction Continuous
And whefeas, there has been
a gradual reduction in the assess
ment of the property of said pub
lic service corporations for the
past three y?ars,
"And whereas, the discrimina
tion In favor of the public service
corporations and against other In
dustries and tax paying Individ
uals, is too palpable to be longer
Ignored or excused;
"Now there'ore, be It resolved,
bf the county court of the state of
Oregon for Columbia county, that
the state tax commission of Ore
gon be, and It hereby Is, request
ed so to raf?e and adjust the as
sessment on the property of the
Various public sercise corporations
ot the state that they shall be re
quired to pay a tax equal to those
jpaid by the Yarious other Indus
tries and individuals of said eoun
tr: "And be it furtner resolved,
that a copy of thesi resolutions he
fnalled to the state tax commis
sion! and to each county court
within the state of Oregon "

Where The, .Bis pictures Show
Salem is going to make a stren
uous bid for the championship in
the motorcycle races at Portland
May 29 and 30. alem riders
will have hot enough competition,
too, tor Otto Walker and Jim Da
vis, who hold enough world's
medals to drawn a man in a foot
of water, will be there with their
108-miles-per-hour machines. Rid
ers from all over ihe country wilt
be" there, famous Individual rM
erc as well as racing teams from
the factories, for the prizes are
worth while and the glory is
feTeat.
Salem Side Cars Enter
Salem, however, is going to put
two entries into the side car rac
es, that have a pood chance to
land the long end of the purses.
One is a Harley-Davidson machine
piloted by Hiram T. Smith, with
Clarence Uiashaw as passenger.
This car has won four successive
side car races at former Portland
meets, making better than a mile
minute for its best time with
two passengers, and the old boat
wae never In better condition. The
other is a Harley, with an engine
dating back to 1915, rebuilt
throughout and said to better
than new. It has a "kick" like
a hnndred-ion jrun, and if it does
n't win, the fellow who does has
blmply got to wipe the chronome
ter of the map and do it in no
time at all. Ruel J. Smith will
pilot this machine, with Homer
Best as passenger. The two en
tries will be taken to Portland
Saturday night.
Scott Offers Prediction
Harry Scott, who makes the en
tries, expects the sid-j-oar races to
produce records better than C
miles an hour.
Two other big motorcycle
events are coming up in the nar
future, which will interest every
rider in this part of the stats.
The first will be the annual Gypsy
tour, which meets at Eugene
June 18 and l. It will he held
under the direction of the Motor
cycle and Allied Trades associa
tion, and whatever the riders
make of records will be official.
Last year, close to 500 cyclists
were in attendance at a similar
meeting here in Salem, and a ra
ther larger attendance is expect
ed this year.
8alem Gets Big Event
The second , event is the great
Salem hill climb, on th- Crolsan
oad south of Salem, July 4. This
is one ot the steepest hills that
nybotiy ever traveled, anywhere,
and no motorcycle really is ex
pected to run up over its frown
ing top. for the machine would
have to surmount a 70-per cent
a-rade rlaht at the top. The top
of the hill has been shaved off a
little since last year, ana some o.
the glueyest riders may make
over this time. A crowd of 5000
Is expected to see the event.

Further Step in Pending
Central Oregon Irriga
tion Case is Made
I
A further step in lltitgation that
has been pending for some time
in the controversy between the
Central Oregon Irrigation com
pany and the Central Oregon Irri
gation district is the granting or
a temporary injunction sisned by
Judge McCourt of Portland on pe
tition of H. H. Dietrich, against
the Central Oregon company and
the state desert land board.
Dietrich represents the settler"
of the Central Oregon project and
the injunction prevents the board
from approving the sale of water
in the project by the Central Ore
gon Irrigation company.
The litigation between the com
pany and the district is with a
view to a transfer of the present
constructed system from the com
pany to the settlers for operation
and maintenance by them.
The Central Orecon -Irrigation
company recently tried to trans
fer all of Us remaining rights, ex
cept those neceaasry to comply
with existing contracts with set
tlers, to the Title & Trust com
pany of Portland. The transfer
was disapproved by the state des
ert land board until s&ch time as
a settlement is effected between i
the district and the company.
