TAX REVISION'.
A matter of highest importance
to every taxpayer in Oregon ie
that of the revision of present tax
laws with a view to making all
property bear a just an equitable
share of the expenses of govern
ment. An effort to enact such a
law by initiative petition and popu
lar vote at the next election is now
being made the matter having
been taken up by the Willamette
Valley Development League which
was recently in session at Wood
burn. A committee had been ap
pointed at a previous meeting to
draft a new tax law and the result
of its labors, given in brief, fol
lows: The penalty on delinqnent taxes will
be reduced fiom.10 to 6 per cent and the
rate of interest from 12 to 10 percent.
The S-ccnt rebate on Uses it to be
abolished.
The amount of state tax paid by each
county will be based on current ex
penses. The assessment roll shall he pub
lished before being acted opon by the
county board of equalisation.
Taxes on gross premiams of insurance
companies have been raised from 2 to 6
per cent. '
A 1 per cent tax will be levied on the
gross earnings of express, telegraph and
telephone companies.
The state shall he represented at the
appraisement of all estates over f 10.000.
, Heirs will pay 1 per cent of the
amount inherited. Heirs of the second
degree of consanguinity pay 2 per cent,
and all others 3 per cent, and for soma
over $10,000 and np to $100,000 a grad
uate np to 10 per cent will he levied.
- The governor, secretary of state and
state treasurer will be created a state
executive council for the determining of
all railroad values, bated on reports of
earnings and all other information
available. -
Sleeping-cars, dining-cars oil and
tank-cars not owned by railroad compa
nies will also be taxed.
The bill, it i estimated, will
produce an increase from insur
ance tax of $20,000, railroad as
sessment $40,000, cars $10,000, in
heritance tax $100,000, publicity
tax rolls $25,000, gross earnings of
telegraph, express and telephone
companies, $25,000. Total increase,
$230,000.
The committee suggests the cre
ation of a tax revision league to
circulate the petitions for the en
actment of the law.
Puter and McKinley, the notor
ious land thieves, who were con
victed of conspiracy to defraud the
government last spring, but in
whose cases sentence was suspend
ed for a time in consideration of
testimony they gave for the gov
ernment in the trial of Senator
Mitchell and were expected to give
at the coming trial of Binger Her
mann, have, since their conviction,
proven themslves to be thorough
experts in their line of swindling.
During the past Summer they
have pulled off the biggest deal
yet discovered in the annals of
land frauds and after gathering
in several hundred thousand dol
lars they have dropped completely
out of eight. If the report thm
they were lately seen in Japan is
correct it will be well for the mika
do to keep his eye on them or he
may wake up some tine morning
to find that the entire flowery
kingdom has been "swiped" bodily
by these enterprising gentlemen.
A little plat of land like Japan
would be a small matter for Puter,
McKinley, Ware et al.
in
The appointment of John M.
Gearin to fill the senatorial vacan
cy occasioned by the death of Sen
ator John II. Mitchell, seems to
give universal satisfaction through
out the state. Mr. Gearin is a
democrat but of the brand that
places principle and the best inter
ests of the people above party and
it is known that in many matters
which will probably come before
the oresent congress he is
ST
hearty accord with the general pol
icv of President Roosevelt. He is
a lawyer of high ability and an
orator of more than average force
and power. He is a law partner of
ex-Senator Simon and it is worthy
of note that this law firm has fur
nished directly four United States
senators for Oregon, namely;
Mitchell, Dolph, Simon aud Gear
in. The people of Oregon are to
be congratulated on having se
cured at this time an active sena
tor of ability an unquestioned in
tegrity.
