THE OFFICJAL PAPER OF GILLIAM
COUNTY, OREGON.
NE W ASSESSMENT LA iV
The passage of the bill repealing
the mortgage tax and indebtedness
clause in the assessment law almost
marks an epoch in the material pro
gress of Oregon. It is a mighty
stride forward, and contributes
largely toward putting the state in
step with the march of modern
ideas and conditions. It is an ad
vertisement that we have scraped
the IB088 from, our backs, and have
conn? out from under the shadow of
old-fogyism to compete with our
sister common wealths in the race
for supremacy. It is an invitation
to capital to come from abroad, and
to find investment in a community
where there are no unjust discrim
inations. It furthermore removes
from the taxpayer the temptation
to evade the laws and his just share
of the burden of government by
concealing his property behind a
fictitious indebtedness. Compara
tively few have any knowledge to
what an extent the indebtedness
clause was used to evade taxation.
In every town and city in the
state it was worked vigorously
whenever assessment time came
around, and often by men whose
position in society and business
would have suggested a more honor
able course. A day or two before
assessment, men would go to the
banks and brokers and borrow to
the limit of their credit and leave
the loan untouched until after the
assessment was made and then pay
off the note, preferring to pay three
or four days' interest on the amount
to having a full return of their
property appear on the tax rolls.
There were many instances of this
kind, and there were others who in
one way and another managed to
cover up their property under the
indebtedness clause so that the
assessor could not get at it, until
it is safe to say fully one-third of
the property in the state escaped
taxation. The repeal of this indebt
edness clause will probably increase
the tax roll from 30 to 40 per cent.
And the same thing is measurably
true in all the counties of the state.
The assessment law is not perfect
yet. There are some inequalities
and some slight oppressions. But
the new law will be such a vast
improvement upon the old system
the people of the state will hold
this legislature in blessed memory
for having enacted it, '
The state of Washington has a
grievance, and as the result thereof,
its representative in Congress is
coming in for his share of censure
The Goldendale Courier voices the
public sentiment thusly: ' "The
Bill granting extension of time for
the payment on Northern Pacific
" forfeited lands, applies only to Ore
gon. Great Scott! where do the
people of Washington get off at?
What has become of that little piece
of egotism that was here in Golden
dale during the campaign 4ying to
serve the dear people? John II.,
you are a dandy; come back to
Olympia and help Allen beak his
neck."
The legislatures of Alabama,
Pennsylvania and Minnesota have
oassed bills prohibiting the sale
or giving away or otherwise dispos
ing of cigarettes, cigarette tobacco
and cigarette paper, in any form.
It imposes a fine of not less than
$10 or more than $50. and imprison
ment or sentence to hard labor for
not less than 30 days, for, violation
of its provisions. The bills also pro
hibit the smoking of .cigarettes in
any public place. This law ought
to become general throughout the
United States.
The papers of the Pacific Coast
comtinue to complain of "the girl
famine"on their shores. This should
be remedied.. All through tEe East
the girls are in extra supply. The
census of Philadelphia shows an ex
cess of over 20,000 girla. They
are good stock, and a few train loads
should be shipped speedily to the
G-.d Ion West.-Chicago Inter-Ocean.
WE WANT PEOPLE.
The far West needs more people.
Population as much as competition
is the life of trade. People make
business, not vacant areas. They
make towns, cities; they provide a
market. There must be a demand
iu order to provide a supply. If
Portland wants 250,000 population,
there must be 800,000 people in the
state. If Oregon wants half a dozen
cities of 25,000 to 50,000 population
there must be over a million souls
in the state at large, says the Port
land Telegram.
Oregon wants people. It wants
them not only in thousands but
tens of thousands. How in the
world can any manufacturing enter
prise expect to start up, which may
be solicited, unless the projectors
look around and see a population
I to buy their goods? The millions
in the Central West and East do
not help them any. The old estab-
i lished manufactories look after them
in a way that brooks no competi
tion from this Coast. The Oregon
manufacturer niust,be able to count
on an Oregon constituency, while
the Massachusetts magnate looks
not only to his states, but to the
Northeast, to the whole Atlantic
seaport, to the Middle states and to
the Central West. Suppose Oregon
has 400,000 inhabitants at the pres
ent moment, for that figure will
cover it easily, being a large in
crease over, the national census;
one-fourth of that is right in Port
land, leaving 300,000 to be distrib
uted over an area that can readily
support 3,000,000.
It is almost ridiculous to belive
that Oregon's 96,000 square miles
hold only 400,000 people, while
Massachusetts' little 8315 Bquare
miles are not crowded at all with
its 2,500,000 inhabitants. In other
words, Oregon ranks seventh in area
and thirty-eighth in population of
all the states, while Massachusetts
is fortieth in area but sixth in
population. The Willamette val
ley proper, the part that is the very
cream of it, could hold two Mass
achusetts, and the latter is teeming
with busy cities, which in turn are
teeming with manufactories. Every
acre of tillable ground therei s also
occupied by smaller land-owners,
and farmhouses by the score are
seen along the . country roads be
tween the frequent towns.
Let our immigration board under
take its work with greater energy
and let the country co-operate with
the city to bring farmers to our fer
tile soil. There cannot be too great
industry in this line. Every effort
possible and legitimate should be
exerted. If necessary, legislative
aid should be given and immigra
tion made a popular subject of dis
cussion. , All this requires money,
but Oregon'sybiisiness men can af
ford to be iberal on this proposi
tion,' and 'so could the state". The
harvest will far more than pay the
cost of the seedtime. Oregon must
not slumber, when it is the early
bird that catches the worm, and it
must be confessed that Washington
is the early bird in the contest be
tween these two states. Bailroad
passenger statisics, fts well as the
filling up of the country, show this
An increase also in Washington's
vote of 30,000 oyer the very la6t
election and a Jtal of nealy 90,000
show that our" northern neighbor
is not going'back in population,
despite dull times.
Let the nfluences which are nec
essary to bring legions of people to
Oregon 6e more earnestly exerted.
Somebody or something is not
thoroughly aroused. Wake up,
wakje up all along the line, and
start the ball rolling which shall
g;ve Oregon 1,000,000 people by the
ear 1910.
It is estimated that visitors from
abroad to the world's fair will bring
$300,000,000 to this country dur
ing the present year, and at least
$100,000,000 will be kept at home
by Americans not going abroad.
The profits of the exposition to the
people of the United , States will
therefore be $400,000,000, or about
$5 per capita directly' added to the
circulating medium. The effect of
this addition to the assets of the
nation cannot fail to "make itself felt
on the business of the country, and
the effect will be beneficial.
The St. Paul Globe tells what, H
thinks about the length of the leg
islative session iu Minnesota. as
follows: "It is generally conceded
that a sixty-day session of the leg
islature is long enough, but, with
the uieniber8 of that body drawing
a salary of so much per pay, they
will probably remain in session the
full ninety-days. What Minnesota
needs is a law which fixes the sal
aries of legislators at a certain fig
ure per term, and then they can re
main in session as long as they like.
Nothing would better Berve to stim
ulate representatives than that.
Chauncey M. Depew thus de
fines a mugwump: "A man who
cannot agree with anybody but
himself, and even about that he is
in doubt."
