THE ASSESSMENT QUESTION.
The whole question of assessment
should be thoroughly examined and dlB
cussed by the people of Clatsop county,
There la a strong conviction that the
county 1 paying more than Its rightful
. share of the state taxes. On the as
WHument last yeur a levy of 22 mills was
made, comprising state, national guard,
state university, school, county and
road taxes. The first three Items named
qicnprlse the! state taxes, the levy for
these three purposes was 7 mills, and
the amount $39,901.82. The remain
der, $85,603.88, was made up as follows
School tax, 6 mills, 128,501.29; county
tax, 8 1-2 mills, $48,452.20; rood tax, 1 1-2
mills, $8,550.39.
The people . are convinced
that Clatsop pays taxes on
a higher valuation than Is
used In other counties In determln
Ing the amount of taxable property. Of
course, the state board la expected to
equalize the valuations, but In practice,
that board never reduces the county
return, since It assumes that no assess
or will over-value property. The chang
es by the state board are all the other
way. Thus In dealing with Multnomah
county, the board raised the total as.
sesBment of that rich county from $03,.
834,476 to $81,692,2121 This astounding in
crease of over $17,000,000 was made be
causa Portland property was assessed
at far below Its actual value. In the
matter of mortgages wherein the face
value was apparent, and admitted of
no mlBtake.the Portland assessor coolly
returned the amount as $8,728,820, but
the state board felt bound to increase
that sum to $17,456,640, which Is exactly
double the original valuation. In this
county the mortgages are evidently re
turned at their full value, Inasmuch as
the board made no addition thereto.
It was In view of such shrewd trans
actions on the part of Portland, that
It was recently observed that property
that is taxed at $160 In Clackamas
county pays only $86 In Portland,
"The children of darkness are wiser
than the children of light." Portland
believes In "leveling up.". Her people
undervalue their property and take
tlielr chances before the state board.
When that body hns raised the so
culled valuation, the tax payers submit
complacently, knowing that It la still
tinder the actual amount.
The changes mnde by the legislature
In the fiscal system, render It neces
iry to make a new departure In
assessing the property of this county,
Full information should be ob
tained by the nsssor as to
the boats adopted In all other coun
ties, so that Clatsop may not be over
burdened by unfair taxation.

Attemnt at Suicide.
It Might Havt Been Pmtnttd.
From the Boston Post.
Whilo the walks in the Fublio Garden
were crowded yesterday afternoon about
4.30 o'clock, people near the entrance gates
at the corner of Beacon and Charles streets
were horrified to see a man suddenly plunge
a knife repeatedly into bis throat and fall to
tho ground.
While waiting lor a conveyance an officer
questioned the would-be suicide, who was
about 50 venrs of nee. as to Lis name, address.
and reason for wishing to end bis life, but
the man steadfastly refused to give any infor
mation regarding himself. He was taken to
the Massachusetts General Hospital and
surgical, attendance given him. Although
weak lrom loss or blood it is probable ho
will recover. About 9 o'clock last night a
hospital attendant cot a little information
from him. He said his name was Samuel
D , and that he came some weeks ago
from New Brunswick. The last few days
his head has felt queer, and lie has been wan
der ing about the city, not knowing which way
to turn. What impelled him to commit his
rash act lie was unable to say.
The above is the familiar but terrible
slory of the results of mental derangement
caused by overstrain of the nervous system.
People who have dmmess, headache or back
ache, or who are troubled with melancholy or
despondent feelings, are already well on tho
road which lends to insanity and suicide.
