COfLICnS IN OREGON I II
The Oregonian discusses the Gallo
way decision on the unconstitutionali
ty of the Oregon tax law. In an able
manner and as this Is a highly import
ant subject, for the readers of the East
On sor.lan, the article Is reprinted as
follows:
Counties that have assessed proper
ty at full cash vaue will resist the at
tempt of Tamhlll county to have the
law of 1901. apportioning the state
tax. dclared unconstitutional.
Among these counties are Colum
bia. Marlon. Multnomah and Umatilla.
They maintain that If the state taxes
are apportioned according to existing
assessed valuations, as was the prac
tice before the enactment of the law
which Judge Galloway has declared
unconstitutional, the amount of their
taxs for state purpose will be increas
ed unreasonably.
The assessors In these counties al
lege that the move on the part of
Yamhill county Is simply an attempt
to avoid paying a just proportion of
the state tax. If the property In Tarn
hill county was assessed at Its full
cash value, it is averred, the count
would not be paying more than lta
rightful proportion Into the state
treasury
Discussing the subject yesterday,
Assessor B. D. SIgler ,of Multnomah
county, said he was in communication
with the assessors of other counties
of the state in which property has
been assessed at full value, with
a view to determining the best means
of defeating the purpose of the suit
that has been instituted in Tamhlll.
It Is not proposed to wait until the
suit has been carried to the supreme
court.
In support of the- contention that
the present system of apportioning the
state tax among the different coun
t'.es on the basis of the average assess-m-:::
of property for the five years
1 . '-ceding 1901. when the law was
passed, is the only fair and equitable
plan of distributing this tax, some pro-(-
line may be brought to show that
Tamhlll county property is not assess
ed at its full cash value, as contem
plated In the law.
Assessor Sigler feels that it will be
possible to prove that the assessor of
Xamhill county has not listed the
ir 'j er'.y of that county at more than
3D 1-3 per cent of its actual value.
Jtonilt If Iceisioii Hol(K
Following the enactment of the law
in 1901, and under which the state tax
is now apportioned, the assessors of
Multnomah, Marion, Umatilla and
Ci: jmbia and a few of the other coun
ties, proceeded to assess all property
at iu full cash value. This was done
in compliance with the provisions of
the law itself. In the other counties
property is assessed at from 33 1-3 to
probably 75 per ceat of Its true valu
ation. Now, If the law is held to be
unconstitutional, and the former sys
tem Is restored, these counties would
be required to pay from 30 to 4 0 per
cent more state taxes than they are
paying, and all because the other
counties fail to assess their property
a: full cash values.
For instance, since the law went
into effect "In 1901, the assessment of
Multnomah county property has been
increased from S32.639.9S" In 1900, to
J233.161.05S in 1907. In Umatilla
the aggregate assessment in 1900 was
$3,585,000, while last year the total
was H2.053.S66. The Inrease In Co
lumbia county for the same period was
from $1,477,350 to $16,786,655. while
in Baker county, where property is
assessed at 40 per cent of its value,
the aggregate of the roll increased
from $2,&S0,255 to $9,694,000 in the
last seven years.
In the same length of time the as
sessors of Tamhlll county Increased
the assessment of property In that
county only from $4,770,106 in 1900,
to $11,700,521 in 1907. This total
valuation of $11,000,000, it is argued,
does not exceed 23 1-3 per cent of the
value of the property of the county.
Wliat Change Would Mean.
By returning to the old practice of
collecting the state tax on the assessed
valuations as reported by the various
county assessors, Multnomah county
this year would have paid $466,282.11
in state taxes Instead of $359,154, or
about 30 per cent Increase. Colum
bia's tax would have been increased
over 2H0 per cent, or from $12,190 to
$33,573.31, while Umatiila would have
paid $84,111.73. Instead of $56,350.

effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root
is soon realized. It stands the highest

UNABLE TO LOCATE OHIO.
Steamer Corwln Returns to Nome
After Fruitless Search.
Seattle, Waah., July 7. A special
to the Post Intelligencer from Nome
says:
The steamer Corwln, Captain West,
has returned to Nome after searching
for the steamship Ohio without being
able to locate the missing vessel owing
to the smoke from the Tundra fires,
which prevents observers from see
ing any distance. The vessel Is be
lieved to be waiting on the Yukon
flats for the fog and smoke to raise.
The Corwln spoke the United States
revenue cutter Thetis and the Brit
ish steamer Breckley. The latter Is
coal-laden from Nanaimo, B. C, and
showed them the channel in through
the ice to Nome. The British boat
went ashore near Slnrock river, 25
miles from Nome, but was uninjured
and will be floated with high tide.
Glass and Hardware Found in Stom
ach of Coos Bay Tramp.
Marshfield, Ore.. July 6. In order
to satisfy a craving for drink, Frank
Durga, a tramp, has been amusing
the frequenters of saloons by eating
glass and swallowing small articles
when his audience would give him a
glass of whlsgy. He Is now paying the
score for his unnatural trick and the
surgical openartlon to which he sub
mitted at Mercy Hospital, In North
Bend, resulted In a discovery which
the local physicians say surpasses
anything they ever saw or heard of.
The man was sick and It was decided
th.st some foreign substance had lodg
ed In his stomach. Doctors Bartle and
Gale opened the man's stomach and
after several hours work, removed
the following collection of articles and
mixed junk: Three Jack knives, one
etied of knife handle, thre door keys,
one small key; three five-cent pieces,
15 dimes, one end of metal fishing
rod. two large loaded rifle shells, three
small shells, 17 horseshoe nails, one
fish hook, two finishing nails, one
single nail, one eight-penny nail, 173
pieces of glass, some of which were
larger than the finger nail.
When .the opening of the human
junkpile was started and it w;y dis
covered what the stomach contained
the surgeons and nurses were simply
dumbfounded. They could scarcely
believe that the man could have had
such a collection In his stomach and
still live. Some of the glass had pen
etrated the membrane of the stom
ach and the most delicate dissection
was necessary for its removal. The
man Is apparently getting along very
well and the doctors say that unless
some unexpected complications arise
he will get well. He soon after the
operation said he was hungry and
asked fur substantial food, the light
fare usually given the hospital pa
tients not satisfying him.
Th;it the man could convert his
stomach into a depository for money
and hardware scarcely seems possible
but the doctors have the articles to
show and state that they were hardly
able to believe what they themselves
sa w.
Nothing is known of Durga further
than that he Is a tramp and saloon
loafer, about 4 4 years old, who ha
been on Coos bay for two months. He
Is now a county charge. ,
