Able Discussion of Taxation Issue by Assessors of Oregon. A lively tilt was precipitated In. the assessors' convention this morning by the motion of Assessor Rice of Mari on county to amend section 12 of the report of the state tax commission by providing that the assessors r," d not the treasurers shall be made tax col lectors, says the Oregon Daily Jour nal. The motion further provided that the section as amended should be recommended to the legislature for enactment into Inw. Assessor Payne of Malheur op posed the amendment, say.lng that be had all the responsibility he wanted in properly assessing property. He also urged that it was an injustice to the sheriffs of the small counties to reduce their salaries, as would have to be done In case the collection of taxes was taken from them. Mr. Payne vigorously Insisted that the law stand as It Is now. Assessor Stogsdill of Wasco made a strong argument against the pro posed change, taking the position that if the collection of taxes was taken from the sheriff and given to either the assessor or the treasurer. It would result In no reduction of the sheriffs salary, but would certainly bring about an Increase In the salary of the official to whose office the work was added, thus resulting in sad'lliiig an additional burden upon the people with no corresponding benefit to be derived. Assess, us Sigler of Multnomah and Shelton of Gilliam favored relieving the sheriff of the collection of taxes. both insisting that assessors were as a rule qualified fur Ihe duty and that the collection of taxes natur.illv be longed to tli" assessor';) office.
