AsTeniAJf: Next month our legislators will bo called upon to correct tho evils of our tax laws. First, there should be a certain dnj' and hour in the ear on which the as sessment lists should be made by the property owner.This assessing by one man in April and another in July as they do now after all manner of changes and trades have taken placo among them it absurd. Jjet every person make- up his lists, say at noon on the first Monday in Jnlvorsome other, -deffciito time, and when he calls, whether he calls then or a have them ready for the assessor month later. JJavethat list so specific that from it can be told which county, town, school district end road district tho property Jies in. LeMhat list qs cor rected by a board pf equali2ation and tho assessor, stand for all assessment purpose1? for thnf year, -whether it be btate, county, city or road tax. Do not lerplex tho taxpayer eery month in the year by demands of assessors, and waste his time making out property lists. Again, what need is thero of haing three assessors and taxing tho pcoplo to pay three men for doing one man's workv if possible also let the taxes for state, county, city and school be collected at the .same timo and by tho samo officer. UENEI'ITS'fO-nin.TASPAXBBS. He -would be troubled but once a year by tho assessor, by tho board of equabza tion and by the tax collwctor. Wnercver his property might bo in tho state, he wouid know just where, to find out the claims and mi the claims against 'it fur. taxes. . " Secund, do hot allow deductions for in debtedness, do not tax credits or t:vi deuces of debr, but ta. all other property where it is .situated. To illustrate? A and B live in Astoria and each is worth one thousand dollars in cash. Each purchase- a lot opposite on tho same street,, pauug tbpeo uuudred apiece. A being a cUrcfulinan, willing to livo avitbin h& means, Lunds a house npon his lot for .-eve:n.huudred dollars. U giving way to tit:--pride and imagining that in tho gold en tuiura ho will bo richer, builds a Hi taeu-nundrtd-do lar house a-id borrow a tao extra eigut haudrejL-Uoiuirs to piy for it. Under tho present custom and system, the assessor ootues and assoS-cd A $7oU, riuviug no indebtedness to de duct he p os then, in iVitoria, $o'J taxes. ii in as-eised porn-aps only ten. liuudreii dollars, but wo will .say twelve- hundred dollars, less the eight hundred dollars lit borrowed, net four hundred dollars; tax jll. B, as compared with A, gets ai. much benefit of the street lamp, tho nu proemeut of the btreet crossing, the pro tection uf tne poiice and of the lire de partuiejut, tieuus his children to tho same i.caool, has the same courts and officers of law to protee-t Jiis jiropertj-, and al elections CoSiS u vote equal m count to A; vet with equul net proerty and more in gruss he pays but :lo to Ard 30 m taxes. A has-to p iy not odiy for the protection of his ou person and property, but pays for 1J, while the latter is worth as much as the former. A was only assessed ai three-quarters 6f his worth, but suppose B was assessed at the -same rate, to wit; 3"1,J3U. their joint taxable property woulu oe$J,10, against $1,150 in the nrst in stance. This, it will readily be seen -would reduce the rate cf taxation, nearly oue-half. Perhaps C, who loaned the $800, was assesstd on the note. If so he would be assessed its full value, which added to the $1,'-1)0 of B makes OOO. But B and Q only h-cl l,8vbetweeu them, so again the assessment is enormous too m-h but deducting tho $800 out of B'a assessment makes tho net taxable prop er ty-of B and OlrJOO, which is"$150 too juiall compared with Aa taxable proper ty, and A is still paying too much, and is oinduly burdened for trying toiye-yith-iu his means and to -pay Ins debts." But this last feature of the edse .is on" thtt'enppositiou that C lives in -the jyimel county, town land school-(district Mrs. a and li which is of tkni hot' the fAdt. He may not live in the btate?.jn which'eVent he is not taxed, or the indebtedness de ducted nulesSjt'ef'qo is ajimygge,9n fie lo't oB , Suppose C does upt. .livean tbe &ime school district, then tbe ;$Sj0 con- tnbntes nothing toward .vs school ex cept through the getiend state tax. If 0 lives outside of the city tue 3JJ contrib utes nothing to. the city treasury. , If he lives .-jn Joijtland where mijst of the loaded money comes from, h$ contributes neither to our county, school or town taxes. In other words a large portion of our property yays no tales' bimplyle caooe the owners aro in debt. It is m benefit, to. tbe Astoria schools that tie loauer, the man who holds the evidences of debt, to witr notes, pays on the same to the Portland, schools.. Neither "does if help our city finances that he pays to the. city of Portland. - in tudMbrtgagp Tax Law7.au exTort was made, to tdi, property where it is situated, but tho law is unfair and in effectual besides being injurious to the. burrowjer and thei interests of the coun tty.' ..

So tho loancr will loan at one rate if ho has to pay taxe3 on the note, but a less rato if the borrower pays.the faxes. If C wauts.ix dollars a year on each one hundred in Astoria, he "lias to charge ten if he pays the taies- Theoretically it would bo tho same to tho borrower whether ho pajs ten per cent, for monev. or six per cent, and taxes when taxes a'e four tier cent. Practically there is .-: cl.i ference. In the first placo ho would pay ten dollars interest in tho second hi would pay six dollars intiretand only about three dollars taxes, as his pmp rty into which the money has gone wojiu be assessed at but three-quarters its cost -while tho money, in the loaners hands would have beeri assessed ut the- full amount. It may be said this is-a defect in the assessment rating property less than the cost absorbed in it. Perfection cannot be reached. But suppose the pn party was assessed as bign as the moneyfstill there would Ue a gain to the borrower in paying the taxes himself. In a new country like Oieon, aud per haps the iame Jn older localities, tin Joaner does not live where the borrower does, end does not know what the taxe will be nor will ho haetany voice in levy ing the taxes. .He knows what his mon y will net"him In sonfb "other place par haps ho can uso his money otherwise anu he is afraid to placo it whore he does uol know what tho taxes will bo in tbo future: .vhere also he will havo. no vote on tin subject, but, on tho contrary, tho bor rower will hao tho privilege if hp is s disposed, of voting for an insrease o" taxes in order to hurt tho loauur, or vot. for an increasa of expenditures in hi district because the tax does not coiui out of him. but ont of tho loaner uue those persons living in tho distr.ct -wu ire not'in debt.
