THE COBMUS GAZETTE FRIDAY, JUKE 4, 1902. 1776. 1902. 125th Annivebsabt. WHERE IS THE ECONOMY? We are told tbat a special ses sion of the legislature will result in the lopping off of $50,000 of expense to the state this coming year. Investigation discloses the fact that this sum represents fees and pciquisites now being drawn by the various state offi cers. Moreover, this $50,000, or the great bulk of it, comes Out of the pockets of corporations -and private individuals, and lop pine it off will not lessen the burden on the taxpayer in the least. But the acceptance of foes or perquisites, from whatever source, by state officers is a vio lation of the constitution. Then the new legislature can put a stop to this unconstitutional pro- eeedincr immediately, and tne 0 "saving" can be made as com pletely and as effectively as s special session could make it. As for fiat salaries, the consti tution already provides for them To be sure the salaries provided by that document are ridiculous ly small in some instances, bat the legislature has no power to raise them without a constitu tional amendment. On this point, Congressman- elect J. N. Williamson, who is i member of the legislature, repre sentine Wasco, Crook, Lake and Klamath counties, pertinently . remarks: "The first thing we will do down at Salem next winter is to hold ud our hands and swear that during; our deliberations we will support the constitution o the state of Oregon, which wil either result in some very modest salaries, or a stretching of that old and badly outgrown docu merit until it is verv turn in spots." UJWe fail to see the economy in holding a special session of the legislature next year at an expense of 5615,000 or $20,000 to taxpay ers, even if it should result in saving of $50,000, as is claimed to corporations and private indi viduals. The re-appointment ot Mr. B W. Tohnson to succeed himself as postmaster in this city is nice compliment to that gentle man's efficiency in that position, and fast recognition of his care ful and obliging service for the oast four vears. When he was named for this place by Presi dent McKinlev in the summer o 1897, there was strong opposition and the senate withheld its en dorsement for some time. Mr Johnson's appointment was made this time, however, witnout tne aid ot petitions or special effort of his friends, and the senate ap proved it without hesitation. The Salem journal answers the Gazette's editorial inquiry for the economy in a special ses sion of the legislature next spring, by saying: "As the editor of the above paper cannot trust his readers with the facts as to the present fees, perquisites, emolu ments, compensations, and indi rect financial grafts of over i hundred different sorts and de scriptions, what is the use in an swering the above t" Convincing, isn't it? By Way ot Correction. Corvallis, Or.. July 3, i902 ' Editor Gazette : In the Gazette of July ist, Dr. Davis says that the Coast Land & Live Stock Co.'s lands, for which he ia agent, were asseeeel for i90i at $i.25 per acre, and that I had said they were assessed at 80 cents per acre. I did not say that. aid they were assessed at an average of 83 cents per acre. Which if I figure it right must be true. On pages ICS and iC9 f the Benton -county tax roll fori90i, those lands are assessed, 16 40i acres at Si3,0i7or an average of something less than 83 cents per acre. If they had been assessed as Mr. Davis says they were, at f r.25 per acre then they would have aggregated $20,50i.25 and would have brought the county about one- third more taxes than this company p d. The O. & C. lands were assessed for r9oi at $i.5 per acre on 55,559 acres, making IG9.S69 and then tax of $3,0i4.S4 was paid at that rate, whereas, the com pany of which Dr. Davis is agent, gets off at an average of about 80 cents per acre. The O. A C. B. B. Co. assessment is at ! page 161 to 1 GO of the Benton comity tax roll for i90i, and any one can examine ibe two assessments and see who is cor rect about it. I conceive this to be a matter of public concern and one in which all taxpayers are interested. Dr. Davis also mentions that no busi ness man pays invalid claims against l.ia properly, but he does not point oat wherein the taxes now delinquent on the Benton county tax roll against the prop erty know n as the "Bong" lands, are in valid. Can he do so? If the taxes against these lands are invalid then so must all other taxes on those rolls haye been invalid. But is this claim sincere? Dr. Davis bid at the tax sale for r898 taxes (822.8i of these same taxes, in cluding a few dollars costs, anil-he had the same information concerning their validity then that he can now have, yet be paid for his purchase. He mast have believed the claims valid then or be, (being a business man,) would not have paid that money. But now, having got ten his residence property for that bid, he says in his letter in the Gazetts of July 1st: "I shall certainly enforce the return if those taxes are proven invalid." He got the residence property on a tax sale. Now he seems to want to get back the money he paid for it. Then who gets the residence property? Dr. Davis also speaks about the good faith of 1 be Astoria Co. in taking these lands oat of the hands of (he court. Now let us examine that I can only speak from the county records, but- they give some interesting information. On July 6th, i900, a deed was recorded, Book 38, page 493, Benton county deed records, dated April 11, from Arthur H. Masten, receiver, to The Astoria Co., conveying the f-irty odd thousand acres of lands formerly held i tkist by Geo. S. C'le. and also the twenty acres in the west side of Cor vail is, known as the Hogg place," and the depot property, and the "Hoag" residence property, where Dr. Davis lives in Corvallis. The consideration in this deed was $1 and other good and valuable consideiations. And the deed says it is "Subject however to all tax liens, encumberancss, and as sessments thereon of every kind and nature whatsoever." This deed carries a $5 cancelled revenue stamp, indicating that the Astoria Co. .paid $5,000 for this, property, to .the receiver. It did not re-i quire much "good faith" one would think, to induce one to get property! worth $60,000 or $7o,ooo for .If I' O.OOU i But was the Astoria Co. stuck, as LT. Davis' letter would seem to imply? The Astoria Co. conveyed this propertv I , ....., or nearly all of it, to the company dow asking to settle its taxes for this tremen dous reduction, by a deed which says t, $i consideration and which bears fi2 cancelled revenue stamps indicating a consideration of $i2,ooo or a profit of 7,ooo within less than a year after tak ing the lands out of the hands of the court. Was the Astoria Co. so badly used as Dr. Davis would have us believe? The plain , naked truth is that these lands have been assessed just as other lands of like character have been assess ed for the five years for which their taxes are delinquent. The tax is just as hon estly and legitimately due Benton coun ty as any other tax on those rolls, and for Dr. Davis, or this company, to at tempt to get out of payiug this tax in full is unjust to other taxpayers who have paid their taxes uncomplainingly, no matter how hard pressed. It is said that this company has nego tiated a sale of all the lands to Eastern parlies at a price two or three times greater than the assessed value, but that they have to square up the back taxes first. It is right that they should da so. It would not be right for them to be re leased of this debt while others have to pay in full. CITIZEN. Vote on "Initiative and Refer endum." I, F. I.
