whether the note agreed with the de

bank, and what discount, if any, was
exacted by bankers in the large cities.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
WHO
FAYS THE TAXES
THE .NEW I.AM
If the wish of the last legislature
had been to place the burden of debt
upon that das of the population who
were o unfortunate as to be in debt,
this object hits certainly Urn accom
plished tty the reiH-al of the !.v that
provided for the disluctiou of bona
llde indebtedness by any taxpayer
when returning a list of his or her
prois'rty held and owned on the
first day of March, A. D. sn:, and
annually thereafter. This change in
the assessment law was made in
accordance with the express recoin-
mendation of the governor of the
state In his nu'ssngo to the legislature,
he is in a great measure resiHiu-
sible for the evils result inir
from such change. It must lie
forcibly impressed utsui all who
shall have Iss-n made to suffer by
the reiieal of the old law, that Justice
and equity would have Usmi more
su!servsl If his excellency had de
feat is I Its rcieal. It certainly would
have done the debtor class of this
stab) more good by far than a law to
enable anyone, dishonit enough, to
evade the payment of his just debts,
to pas which law we barely escaped
visitation of an extra, session of Hie
legislature. Public opinion, how
ever, was so pronounceii that this
demagogical effort for the benetU of
the dear people failed to materialize.
The taxpayers of Oregon prefer that
the latairs of lately elected legislators
lose, a it is questionable what they
would do were they to meet again.
The action of an Oregon h-gislutor
under the preteiu-e of reform is some
thing not to 13 foreseen.
That the increase on the assessment
rolls in this county will U almost
wholly an addition to the taxes to bo
paid byiierson In debt doe not
require evidence for its proof. The
indehtcdncs claim in 1!2 was a
little over 2,ooo,(MMl almost one
third of the amount of the assessment
roll. The assessment of this class of
persons, will have this amount added
thereto. The taxes of this class will
lie further increased by the failure of
the creditor class to list their notes
and accounts. This was foreseen by
every intelligent person and earnest
ly urged by those who opiosed the
hange of the law. Ihis law when
properly enforced by assessors un
covered all note and aivounts unse-
tired by mortgage and ensuri-d their
being listed for taxation.
It i evident from the declar
ation of Mr. Sears that the
state of affairs prediet1 by Honora
ble Thomas II. Tongue In his able
minority reort of the soclal senate
committee on assessment and taxa
tion to the legislative assembly,
sixteenth lingular sjission, is now
uisin us. "The cnslits now discov
ered and taxed through tho instru
mentality of . the debtor would
entirely escape taxation." "Thi:
law act as a detective of tax dodg
ing ens 11 tors, anil this is one cause
for the clamor for its repeal." Tin
truth of the matter could not hav
lieen more forcibly expresssl
Already these same assessors, notably
Mr. Sears, the assessor of Multnomah
county, are complaining that there i
no way now, since the n-jHiil of that
provision to secure the nob and
aivounts. Says Mr. Sear a report
ed in IHtily Oregon ian of S'ptemU
1.1, IS'.i.l : "There will lie a decrease
in the aemient of money, accounts
and noil's, because now a man is not
comiiellod to make a statement of
hi indebtedness, and there is no way
for me to find out what his indebted
ness amounts to." (I siipisw he
means to say that there Is no way to
find out who are the creditors.)
" hen the indebtedness law was in
effect, if a man told me that he cams I
John Smith f lo,ono, I could
assw the note to John Smith, and
could easily find out if the indebted
ness was real or alleged. Now, that
the proiKTty owner have the ad
vantage of me, they will take faro
of their note's and money, trusting
me to find their real estate." This
declaration by the man who, in his
official caiiacity, wore himself out hi
traveling to Salem to as"sors' -on
vention and other mis'tings for the
exprw puriK)e of securing the
repeal of this, a he then expreswsl
it "odious law," that enabled him to
assess John Smith or any othT
creditor who might desire to '-take
care of their not"s," lent an honest
assessment of the same should he
made, Is an admission of the eorrect-
nesNof the position taken by those
whoop)sed thi change in the law,
that can never le explained away, as
well as wicked conspiracy to
escape Just taxation on the imrt of
that class of creditor who "take care
of their note" by swearing they
have none, and who without the
least mtu pie, place their part of the
oilmen or supporting the government
that protects them upon those who
are unfortunate a to be the debt
ors of these persons; who estimate
their oath as of e value than the
taxes they should y. Well, the
low is certain, and the amount so bM
must lie made up by a higher lew

the deficiency. Then hurriisliy we

I MU.L I caiiital to secure the enactment of
laws that practically frees it from
nil charge for the supisirt of the
government. These reformers, how
ever, should rememU'r that the last
stnw may indtii-c the hitherto
patient ammal to revolt to threw
otr the tyrant's chain : and that a
just punishment for their selfish
greisi might be the enactment of
laws that would rehtisi. the oppressed
taxpayer from the charge for pro
hriing this siH-cles of property that
is so intangible that neither the
sworn officer of the state nor the
owners of the same, even under the
sanctity of an oath, can find. If the
owners of such proiierty will solemnly
swear, as Mr. Scars plainly intimate
they do, that they have no such
proisTty, why should honest ' men
pay taxi's to protect something which
the owners swear is not iu existence.
A law to protect the right of honest
taxpayers in this matter would re
quire no stretch of constitutional
Kwers. We have law that limit
the right to enforce contracts in the
courts, that have never Us'ii qu-s-tioniil,
ami a law that would make
it a gissl defence to an action on a
note or account that the same had
not Uvn listed to the assessor a pn
vided by law, or If listed that the
taxes on the same were delinquent,
would bring this Intangible property
to light, and ierjiiry in returning
lists to the nssesisor would be no
longer probable, because it would !
no longer profitable.
The assessment law as it now
stands is cumleronie and Judging
from the reHrts of the few assessors
who have expressed themselves as.to
its working i-equires much more
time than under the old law to do
the work. That part of it requiring
assessments to Ut made to those who
owned the property, on a Hpccillod
day, is about the only part of
the amendments passed at the
last session that deserve approv
al. The amendment In relation
to school district and municipal as
csninent ami taxation have already
shown their inapplicability. The
schools for tho present; year are, out
side of the money derived from the1
general and coiiinionl'sc'hiiol fund,
being run on credit, If run at all.!
The business of the municipalities!
is conducted on the same plan, and
eventually to the great loss if the
taxpayers. The taxes m-eded for
thi"e purjioses must either l col
lected in advance of its mssl, or must
lie collected on assessment made one
year U'fore taxes voted and collection
order!, when much of the proierty,
especially the jM rsonal, may have
Urn removed from tho county,
school district, or municipality.
IiOsses in! one lisfaml entile confu

convenience of the present law and
in justice of the repeal of many of the

of the law allowing deduction
of boun-tlde indebteness, the mort
gage tax law with suitable provisions
removing objection to the old law
and such law a will in the matter
of siM-eial taxes leave school districts
and municipalities independent of

to his hiding pluiv, w here HK),ihni
was recovered. 7,ink more was
obtained at his nsiiilems. He owns
property valued at $0O,no0 and is
under llo.tioo Umds, hence it Is
though' that the government will
loosf nothing.
For the past ten year Cochran lias
been alistracting bullion bars from
the vault. During that time he had
taken 14,000 worth. Within the
last ten day he had taked imi,inni
worth.
The method ho employed was
sulistantially this: liy means of a
crooked wire, he liulhsl the bullion
bar from the top of the pile, where
they were placed crosswise like rail
road til's. When they fell upon the
floor he would, by mean of this
hook, pull tho bar to the Iron
latticed door, the bottom of which
was a little loose on one side, thr
Uilt having rusted. Bv pushing the
door inward on the side the bars of
gold could easily lie removed.
Ill habit wa to do till stealing
before the emplove of the .mint
came to theii work In the morning.
A the gold lr nnlv weigh twelve
to tlftis'ii pounds inich, he could
carry them home sfretcd in hi
lunch basket.
In thi way he took out of the
vault and carried away $;W.mm) of
gold bullion. By mean of the same
way he took out of the vault within
the last ten day flon.OOU in gold
bullion. Instead of removing this
from the mint building, however, he
seereated it in a ventilator, where it
wa round after lie had made Ids
confeasinn, lie, himself, showing the
officials the hiding place.
