ASSESSMENT AND TAXATION.
It is business with the money sharks
to devise ways and means to escape
taxation; and be it said to their credit,
or discredit, as the case may be, their
efforts are always attended with a
very large degree of success. Con
cealment and evasion are systematic
ally worked, while legislation prac-1
ticaiiy exempting mem irum uuluuuu
is industriously sought For a few
months prior to the meeting of the
Legislature, all sorts of remedies for
"over taxation," "oppressive taxation,"
'double taxation," and so on, are dis
cussed, this to confuse the average
mind and divert attention from the
main purpose of the Shylocks.
The mortgage tax law was enacted
with the view of foiling the capital
istic buccaneers in their methods of
concealment This law provoked a
very howl of protest, particularly on
the part of the "Scotch Loan Asso
ciation," and was finally practically
annulled by a decision of Judge
Deady, yet the law is still on the
statute book, and the Scotch crowd
want it off; they want more. They
want money wholly exempted from
taxation, and to this end they sub
sidise their organs and supply them
with arguments. The chief point
they make in this direction is, that, if
2noney is left untrammeled, a larger
inflow of "foreign capital" will have
the tendency finally to reduce the
rate of interest! Now, if the people
were all borrowers, and the borrow
ing of "foreign," or even domestic
money were a chief industry in Ore
gon, such an argument might be en
titled to weight. But the people are
not all borrowers by profession, nor
can a majority of them ever be such.
Then it would be manifestly unjust
to the great body of the people for
money to be stricken from the list of
taxable assets to the end that specu
lators may have cheap money to
operate with.
Among the journals advocating the
interests of the Scotch Gourmands,
we are sorry to have to include the
Willamette Farmer. .Under the head
ing, "Taxing money again," that pa
per says:
"It is a reasonable question wheth
er to exempt money entirely from as
sessment and taxation will not be
gc od economy, as it will induce capi
tal to come here freely and must soon
reduce the rate of interest
Not to assess money and credits will
greatly simplify matters and make
collection of revenue much easier,
while it will removo a cause for dis
honest returns bv-taxuavors. To tax all
property in sight will make the whole
tax question easy of solution."
Arguing in the same line, it would
appear as the proper thing to repeal
all laws for the punishment of horse
stealing, since such repeal would re
move all cause of concealment in the
business, and would save the people
the expense of prosecutions for such
crimes.
Further on the Farmer, speaking
of the lower rate of interest on loans
which obtains in California, says:
"There is no good reason, with no
legislation to cause fear or distrust,
why money should not be as plenty
and as cheap hero as there. What is
conrudered by capital as hostile leiris
lation makes money scarce and the
interest rate high. Undor the same
law .California has, wo may expect the
samo favorable conditions."
Woll, that paper is exceedingly un
fortunate in ics selection, of Califor
nia as an example for emulation in
Oregon. : In that State, under the
New Constitution, not only are mort
gages taxed, but the banks are com
polled to make exhibit to the Assessor
of their books and pay taxes on every
dollar in their vaults on deposit; and
yet uiouey io chuup in our sister State,
To exempt money and credits from
taxation, will, in practice, tax the
body of the people to raise a bounty
to bestow upon the capitalists, debtor
and borrowing classes. Let our leg
islators keep these facts in view.
THE ELECTORAL. VOTE.
The popular vote at no previous
election presents so many curious
grounds for speculation as that of
lbo4. The face of the returns gives
Cleveland a plurality of about 66,
000. In five States fusion tickets
were in the field, in three of which
(Iowa, Nebraska and Michigan) the
Butler men fused with the Demo
crats, and in two (Missouri and West
Virginia) they fused with the Repub
licans. As even the Butler men in
those States in which they fused with
other parties, voted for the Blaine or
Cleveland electors as the case might
be, it is hardly fair, if it were possi
ble, to separate the vote on the elec
toral ticket, or to guess how many
Butler men in Iowa voted for Demo
cratic electors, or how many of them
in Missouri voted for the Republican
electors. The total vote of the coun
try is about 10,046,000, and . in com
paring it with the vote of four years
ago the gain of Blaine over Garfield
is 393,000 and of Cleveland over Han
cock, 468,000. By separating -the
votes by States or sections it is curi
ous to see that Cleveland makes prac
tically his whole gain" at the North,
suffering a .serious falling, off at the
South, while on the other hand Blaine
made nearly one-half of his entire
gain at the South and his greatest loss
es in Northern States. So while Cleve
land lost about 53,000 at the South,
Blaine gained 184,000 in the sixteen
Southern States. It is surprising that
Cleveland should have made his loss
es in Democratic states and his gains
in the Republican, and equally so
that Blaine should have made his
losses in the Republican and his
gams in the Democratic States.
To go further the vote shows that
only one of the Northern States which
Hancock carried in 1880 (New Jersey)
did Cleveland carry in 1884, but Cali
fornia and Nevada returned to the
Republicans, while Cleveland carried
New York, Connecticut and Indiana,
which Garfield carried four years ago.
It would seem that the strange anom
aly was presented that each party
nominated a candidate for the Presi
dency who was more popular with
the opposition than its own candidate
wnicn is suostantiaiiy true, uieveiana
was rejected by the worst element of
his own party, which in the South
went to Blaine, while in the North
Blaine was repudiated by many of
the best men in his party, who either
went to Cleveland or refrained from
voting. Chicago News.
