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. -

A roan hires oat to work ho qlnrgcs
ono price if ho is to board himself and a
less price if the employer is to board
him. 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"

for an increasa of expenditures in hi

Jioiug that they aro hot taxable- And th
holder knows to n cottaiuty what tho nei

would not send it on nny terms whei

feared a community that would endoi
