The present sys (em and practice of assessment Is consider able of a wholesale robbery. In Multno mah county the assessment is lcs than one- half what it should be. By fictitious In debtcdncss and other means the state is robbed of several thousand dollars in taxesi which the farmers of the country are pay ing. In Marion county this year the re- duction in the assessment was large, the total assessment, we arc Informed, being considerably less than in Linn county whereas it should be at least SJ.000,000 more, and Linn county has to pay a great er state tax on account of it. The present lew of mills would have been only 3 mills but for assessment robbery like this. All of this extra tax comes out of the pock ets of the masses through the country. The next state legislature might do well to investigate our present system ot taxa tion and do something to equalize matters, When men worth $100,000 pay taxes on only 5000 to $10,000, while the honest masses pay on at least two-thirds of their wealth, there is strong evidence that there is something rotten in Denmark and Urcgon too, Another Railroad.
