' A correnpondent of tlio lie? favors uniform taxation and takes strong, or nt least positive riouihI ngain'-t (Icduc tion of indebtodne'H from the aniount of mi individual's taxable property. There is a constant recurrence of this sort of argument, and the Legislature at eacli recurring K'tsion is a-ked to make taxation more eijual and cettain throughout the land. The law, or at least the enforcement of It, is certainly defective, for the assessment roll with deduction of indebtedness therefrom, does not represent the actual properly of the State but falls far -hort of it. How tojarrive at a correct valuation of property and raUeJ the revenue of the State therefiom by u just and equal system of taxation, has always been the great financial problem of na tion1. The man who has only his character for probity and his known industry and energy for capital has no thing taxable, and if he buya farm on credit lie has still no taxable property. It would not be just to tax him because he lias gone in debt, as that would but be doubling his burdens, and the man of whom lie purchases, and who still has a hold on the property as his se curity, seems to be the actual property holder in the cae and of course is lia ble to pay taxes cm what he owns. The property pays taxes when the man who has a lien on it pays tax on that lien and we cannot see that the man who holds it under a mortgage ought to pay tax on the debt he owes, nor can it be proper to tax them both and thus collect public revenue twice from the same property. J Iiis being so. then what consistency is there in ad vocating a tax on land that is mort gaged'.' The debtor has hard times enough at the best, and needs favor, while the moneylender can better af ford to pay tax than any other man alive. The complaint is that men evade the lawanii woni give in to the assessor a true account of their money, notes and accounts. Then mend the law to com pel each man to give a sworn return in im'tintj, hh own handwriting, of all his money, notes and accounts and place that return on (lie where all men can see it j that would give a publicity to the affair that would make evasion of the law dangerous, and to make it more dangerous Jet us have the most stringent law passed, providing severe punishment for such evasion or false swearing. To make a more effective check against fraud, a No make the debtor swear to a return of all his debts to be deducted, and m.iko that a No a matter of public recoid, so that the re turns of the assessors of the different counties shall provide a porfect check against all frauds on the State revenue. If a man owes a debt in another coun ty the fact can be proved by the sworn return of his creditor there. This will require the adoption of a strict system ami involve some labor, but nothing more than the great good to he attain ed will aiuplyjustify. It looks as if many persons advocat ed taxation of property without deduc tion of indebtedness merely to save trouble to the assessors, but we advo cate Justice to the debtor at all hazards and the enforcement ef proper revenue hws in a manner that shall make It dangerous for any to attempt to evade them. Make .stringent revenue laws, pcifect a system that N honest and just to all, and then enforce it to the letter. Make,all men show what property they own and pay tax on it. the Last can cioss without being off HAWIiSS", PCHTZ.AM'3, 3 I good gra-s n single night. Thoadvar- tages of this route are unprecedented, and its construction will not only be a great blessing to the Willamette valley but will be still more to the advantage of the struggling settlers of middle and Kasteru Oregon, who cannot readily drive their fat cattle across by any road now constructed. There is little probability that the general government will extend aid to further road projects in this direction and it seems impossible to introduce private capital to invest, and such in vestment at best would produce only a toll road, which so often becomes an in tolerable nuNance. It then remains for the State to carefully consider the matter with a view to aiding the enter prise. A costly bridge is now being built across the Little North Fork of the Soutiam, on the line of the Minto Pass road, by a subsidy from Marion county and subocriptions from citizens gener ally, which will open a large country for settlement, and extend the road in- wine mountains a instance oi iorty , Ful.meI. i the State Is interested nines irom saiem, leaving oniy nity miles of road to be constructed to con nect with the Lebanon road at the Black liuttes in the De-chutes valley. The route follows a natural gorge that widens towards Mount Jefferson into a emi.iilnt llili iillrtt. t ,1 iiivltii.. cnttln. .. ........,. .....VJ IHUl " ...1-3 UVU..V. , ment. Ill fact settlements will line its entire course through the mountains. As a result of till these natural advan tages the time must come, and should not be very remote, when a railroad, connecting with roads in this valley, shall find its way over the mountains, then across the Blue mruntaiiis, which offer little obstruction, by way of the head waters of the Malheur river, to Snake river, and thence to Salt Lake, b. the most direct, sbortest and most feasible route that exists. That road will, of coure find its western termin us at Astoria. A coniiiiitteo to whom this matter should be referred could call for the re poit of the survey made by Marion county, under the direction of Hon. J.Minto, T. V. Davenport having been the surveyor, and could a No call Mr. George Downing, (one of the company) l'rof. I'owcll and others, who have since made a critical examination of the route, and would then be able to arrive at astonishing facts relative to this wonderful mountain pass, which offers advantages unequalled by any other known, and which should be utilized as soon!as;4)ossible. It is due to this important matter that it should be carefully examined on its merits, and if they are what has been claimed, that the State at large, by public expenditure, should be put in possession of the great facilities af forded, land which could be made a source of wealth and public prosperity if utilized. This matter especially interests the representatives of Eastern Oiegon. BOBU & CO., OFFKK FOIT BALD A ri'LL LINT OF OJtECSQK", A G R I C C L T U It A JL IMPLEMENTS.
