BEMIM A TAX LAW Projositions Agreefl Upon By tie Senatorial Coimittee kow nr session nr salem Thej Are Workkig Early and late With Hopes of Adjnsting the Tax Problem. The senatorial committee appointed at the last session of the state legisla ture to devise means for remedying the evils and imperfections of present assessment and tax laws, are still wrestling with the many perplexities tins difficult question presents. The committee consists of Senators Raley. Tongue, Wait, Hilton and Cogswell, and they have been in session at Sa lem since Monday morning, October 13th nearlv two weeks. Thv Iiuta labored assiduously, working from 8 ociock in tue morning often till 11 ociocK ac nignt, and n they succeed in adjusting tne taxation problem -to the majority of Oregon's citizens, they are entitled to a great deal of credit. Just what tho committee. Tins ac complished is not known, but rumor has it that they have decided upon a numDer or well-grounded projpoaitions which, if adopted by the state legisla ture, will not only simplify assess ments, but centralize authority and strenghten the law as well. First, it is decided that all assess ments shall be made as if made on the 1st of April each year. An assessor, when dissatisfied with the lists fur nished him, shall be authorized to ex amine the taxpayer on the roll. County courts shall be made boards of equalization, and assessors shall be required to attend meetings when matters concerning taxation are under consideration. II any person fails 'to list his property, or to answer the questions propounded to him by the assessor, the assessor shall be author ized to double Ins taxable property, and the board of equalization shall have no right to make any deductions therefrom. The board of equalization shall not reduce any assessments un less the applicant or his duly-authorized agent appears before them, and is examined under oath as to the amount and value of the property he possesses, or represents as agent. The committee also contemplates the creation of a state board of equal ization, composed of one member from each judicial district in the state. This board shall have authority to equalize assessments between counties on different kinds of property, but can not equalize individual assessments. Upon the foreiroinsr uroDositions the members of the committee are agreed. There seems to be some difference of opinion, however, recardincr the ad visability of repealing the mortgage tax law and not allowing deductions for indebtedness. The majority of the committee, it is understood, are in favor of both these meamres. hnfc whether or not the minority can be won over is for the future to decide. The members of the State Board of Equalization are to be elected in the same manner as circuit judges, each to Hold omce lour years. The committee is still in session and will probably finish their labors for the present to morrow night and then meet again some time before the convening of the legislature. The committee was instructed to make a report embodying such sug gestions as might be deemed advisable for eradicating existing evils of taxa tion. The report will be in the nature of a bill, which will be submitted to the house for adoption. Mr. Geo. O. Sears, assessor of thm county, met with the committee Yeuueuy uigiib uy invitation ana irom wnat ne saw or tne report thinks thev are tirenarincr a verv Tnorirnrinrm bill, and one which, if adopted by the legisiubutt;, will meet mo lbduo ot a more equal taxation.

This feature of the bill meets Mr. Sears' approbation, for he believes it is much better to have one officer for each district and have him held re sponsible to the County court for cuituuiu usaesttiueiiuj. rcyunuui. 0 Bucklen's Arnica Salve.
