ASTORIA, OREGON: THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 6, 16S3 , :5rL.P.PIi$lIElt,3tooms20 ami 21, u.v,.u.wilo AUiiajlc liUUUlHU, I'i our only authorized ueut in San Francisco, andanycontractsmadebyhim will be recognized. The Daily and Weekly Astoriax are kcpfon file at his agency Mortgages ys. Taxes. The necessity of taxation ia to protect persons and property. As the taxes of this state are levied only on property (except a small amount on males between 21 and 45 years of age) it follows that men of property pay the expenses of protecting not only themselves and their property but the person al liberty and safety of those not possessed of taxable property. Property and person should then pay for their own preservation. Property in Oregon should not be taxed to defray- the expenses of the state of California, nor should the property of Clatsop county be taxed to defray the expenses of Multnomah. On the other hand, all the property in Oregon should contribute to the state expense; of each county to the county ex penses; likewise, each municipali ty, school and road district. Our laws recognize this principle as far as state taxation is concerned, by not allowing any indebtedness out of the state to be deducted from the assessable property. But the legislators neglected to extend the provision to the subdivision of the state, hence, by counties, towns, school districts or road districts being indebted to each other, tax ation becomes unequal. If a prop erty owner in Clatsop owes to Multnomah Co. an amount equal to one half the value of his prop erty while it works the same as in state taxes the owner of the other half pays all the county tax. Only one-half the property is taxed while the other half costs the county just as much but pays nothing toward that cost. For purposes of county taxation, why not allow only the indebtedness in the county, and the same in other taxable districts. "What, however, might be considered a better way would be to allow no deduction for indebtedness. All taxable property, coin, etc., should be taxed whenever found and in the place where located. The borrower objects that the niuiiey loaner would not pay taxes. Sup pose he does not; if the borrower has all the Ioaner's money ho pays on it so that nothing is lost from the actual profit of the district. As to its working a hard ship on the borrower, we think it would benefit him. The loaner would lend for an interest as muoh less as the taxes would be, or even lower. Interest in this state is ten per cent., hard to get at that rate, yet thousands perhaps mil lions are invested in U. S. four per per cent because they are more taxable. Taxation in this slate is not over 4 per cent., which with interest at 10 per cent, would make money worth net 0 per cent., but as wo have seen by its being more taxable the lender is satis fied with 4- per cent. net. People who loan money for a business are cautious; they don't like to risk much, and shrink from being subject to uncertainties. If they loan money on a long .time liable to taxation, they cannot bo assured of any given net amount. Taxes may be increased. Special taxes might be levied," and the lender is all the time subject to attaches on his income and profit. But exempt his notes and accounts from taxation and he will at onco put his money down to low rates. Money from outside will flow into the state until it be comes so plenty that borrowers will bo hard to find and interest will be correspondingly low. In terest was lower in this state be fore the taxation of mortgages than it has been since. The whole matter lies here. The laws of supply and demand can not be regulated by arbitrary legislation. In all instances, the borrower has to pay for the use of money, and whatevcradditional expense may be entailed by crude legislation must be borne by the-borrower. Hence, his interests demands less tinker ing with the matter and more op portunity for these relations to ad just themselves. 'A Successful Newspaper Reporter. Speaking of Henry Yillard's enterprise, a Washington j Sunday paper says: "In 187G Mr. Villard began to examine into the North ern Pacific. He already knew more about it than any one in its directory. It had an enormous land grant that ran through the great wheat belt of Dakota, which was becoming more and more val uable. His examination made him determined to buy the stock, franchise and all: at that time it had very little value and was worth S to 10 cents, and at these figures Villard and his associates bought not less than 80,000 shares, and five years ago, when the an nual meeting occurred, to the amazement of the old owners, Mr. Villard reconstructed the directo ry, electing himself president of the compauy. Mr. Villard's en ergy since his election has been untiring. He has sold nearly $30,000,000 worth of land, and has two-thirds of the grant yet untouched. It is estimated that this land grant alone is worth 100,000,000. That which has been sold has brought from 2.o0 to $5 per acre, and much of the rest is the most valuable portion of the grant. The road will be opened in a few weeks from the Pacific ocean to the great lakes, and as thoroughly equipped as any in the country. At forty nine Mr. Villard is among the rich men of the country, and he has made all his fortune in ten years and from absolutely nothing. His Oregon steamship stock is worth $G,000,000, and his interest in the Northern Pacific not less than 10,000,000, a very fair for tune for a newspaper reporter to make in ten years. Speaking of the Union Pacific earnings, the Wall Street Daily JVeics says: The earnings of the Union Pacific for the first four teen days of August show a de crease of $121,000. Need an-- thing more bo said than just to mention the fact? Does it stand to reason that the road can lose 30 per cent, of the Denver business, 50 per cent, of Salt Lake, 50 per cent, of Helena. 75 per cent, of the Oregon and "Washington Ter ritory business, and keep up its earnings to the standard of for mer years?
