THE OREGONLAN AND THE BOARD
OF EQUALIZATION.
The Oregon tan Is making a serious
mistake In Its attack upon the state
board of equalisation for raising tbe
assessment of Multnomah county.
There can surely be no sane person In
Portland who doesn't know that that
city has always evaded Its fair propor
tion of the burden of supporting the
state government: and whether th peo
ple there realise It or not. the Asto
rian has quietly to suggest to them that
Clatsop the only county singled out by
the Oregon ian for its abuse is the last
county they want to have any row
with on that question. There are single
buildings in Portland which, it Is no
disparagement to Astoria to say, cost
nearly one-third of the total value of
all the- improved property In this city,
and which have been allowed for years
to almost totally escape taxation be
cause the people of the balance of the
state took a sort of pride In Portland's
metro polltanlsm, and were too public
spirited to raise any fuss about it.
. Tbe day has gone by, however, when
the oppressed tax-payers Of Oregon can
longer afford to Indulge any qualms of
that nature. Multnomah must and will
be made to walk up to the rack: and
do her duty from this time forward.
Clatsop, and perhaps every ther coun
ty in tbe state; wants to get s-'ong ami
cably with Portland, but as long as
Portland enjoy the distinction of being
the largest city In the state, and Is
thereby able to exact a tribute from
nearly all other sections, she must
take the evil along with the good, and
pay her full share of public taxation.
The difficulty with Portland'- people ii
they have had their way so long,
. and have become so accustomed to It,
that they are intolerant of tbe Idea
that there is any other section of the
state outside of Multnomah county
whose rights they are in any way en
titled to respect.
To show how little merit there is In
the puerile complaint of the Oregonlan
that Clatsop county is instigating a
Popullstlc vengeance against Portland
because she has got a good deal of
money while other portions of the state
are poor and struggling. It is only ne
eessary to contrast Multnomah s as
sessment on the roll of '95, with the
one Just revised by the state board of
equalization. In 1895 the Multnomah
county board returned a total assess
ment of 5,673.109, which the state
board, either through an excess of kind
ly consideration for Portland, or for
some other less scrutable reason, re
duced to J52.863.031 a difference of 13,
810,078. Clatsop county's board In the
same year returned $4,458,197, which
the state board reduced to I3,S6,846
leaving Clatsop's people to pay Just
about the amount of state taxes put by
the board in the pockets of Portland's
rich property owners. But now mark
the difference In 1896. The rolls show
that this year the Multnomah board
returned an assessment of $44,695,490; a
reduction maUe by themselves under
their return of 1895 in the astounding
sum of $11,(77,619. Such remarkable de
cadence in the short space of twelve
cionths, even for an Inland town like
Portland, is incredible. But the state
board merely Increased this preposter
ously low estimate to $52,659,555, which,
It will be observed, after all the noise
the Oregonlan has made about it, is
actually $4,013,554 less than Its own re
turns of 1895, and $203,476 lees than the
amount which the state board kindly
and voluntarily reduced Multnomah's
assessment to, and upon which her cit
izens gleefully and Jubilantly paid their
state taxes for that year.
So far as the threat to advertise As
toria as a town which has declined In
its material wealth, "according to the
estimate of its own Inhabitants," since
last year is concerned. It should be
borne in mind, in tbe first place, that
tbe state board of equalization does
not perform the function of assessing
the taxable property of any county
that work being all done by a county
officer elected and qualified for that es
pecial purpose. What the board does
is merely to equalize the share of state
taxes to be paid by each county; that
is to say. It is Its duty to determine
what pro rata or proportion each ought
Justly to bear "of the whole burden of
state taxation. In order to do this fair
ly the state board necessarily has
authority to inspect the assessment
made by the assessor and passed upon,
revised; and approved by the local
board In each county, as the basis upon
which that county proposes to levy Its
own taxes for county purp"'- In or
der to equitably distribute the state's
taxes, the state equalisers exercise their
Judgment In grading down or raising,
as the cam may be, certain specific
items of taxation awring on these
various rolls, after a careful compart
son of all the rolls with each other.
This Is the extent of the board's author
ity to alter th ameasment previously
agreed to by the county, and that Is
all the board has ever done in this or
any other year.
It can thus be readily seen that In the
case of Clatsop county the state hoard
has simply exercised Its prerogative to
lighten Clatsop's proportion of slate
taxes for IS9 a few hundred dollars
less as compared with that of Multno
mall county. And as to the Oregonlan's
allocation that the reduction made by
the state board in Clatsop's assessment
Is equivalent to an admission by her
own cttliens that the value of (heir
proiierty has decllmtt, this doubtless
has reference to the fact that the mem
berof the lul from this district hap
pens to be a resident of Clatsop county.
i-assing me imputation thus cast on
the Intelligence and honesty of the oth
er members of the board, the Astoiian
has only to say that In view of the
nature of Its duties as here explained,
and the system under which the board
is organised and conducts Its labors.
such a charge Is utterly silly.
In Multnomah, on the contrary, the
difference of over $11,000,000 noted be
tween the returns made by Its own
board in 1S95 and the return made In
1S9. evidence Is really furnished by Its
own cltlsena tending to show a depre
ciation In values in that county which
Is either so alarming as to entitle them
to the sympathy of other and more
prosperous sections of the state, or else
they are guilty of a deliberate and
scandalous attempt to shirk their right
ful share in the support of the state
government which will bring dowa
upon their heads the contempt and ma,
edlotlon of every other county.
we would advise the Oregonlan to
say nothing further of an offensive na
ture against Mr. Wtngate. nor concern'
lng the depreciation of property In As
toria, as confessed by Its own citizens
In the unprejudiced assessment fixed by
the state board of equalization other
wise It may be shocked to find the news
going the rounds of the great dally pa.
pers, and liter appearing, under the
head of items of 'interest," In the pat
ent boiler-plate Insldes of country week
lies, that the city of Portland suffered
a decline In the value of Its property In
1896 the enormous sum of over $11,000,
000, or nearly 25 per cent of Its total
property valuation.
A LAST WORD.
"All roadways," said the Roman pride.
"All roadways lead to Rome;"
Perchance, howe'er men's paths divide.
At last they bring them home.
I have not known of mortal mould
A wretch so fell and grim
But when the story all was told
I needs must weep with him.
Time takes my strength, but gives my
pen
A wider range and scope;
I view the heaven-shaped lives of men
With endless trust and hope.
No more I label, sort, define
God's dealings deep and dread;
I raise to heaven these eyes of mine,
And all my creed Is said.
By Frederick Longbridge.
