Men wwin to le more tenacious about tbi tuhject than anv other. The Milfisl-nesa and mercenary dis position of man leal him to tvk advan taea over Jus neighbor with greater persistence in matters of taxation than in any other. For this reason the frarue-s of the constitution of the state sought to es tabhsu some fundamental, orirmic rule bv which legislation on the subject of a-s uent and taxation niiL'ht be regulated. To this end they inserted the following pro vision in the constitution of the state (see e 31 Art 1 of theconstitution.j: "No tax or duty shall be imposed without the con sent ot the people or their representatives in the legislative assembly; and all axarVon shall bi raal and uniform." Hut knowing uai seuisuness ana (freea wouiu lead men to do;I(;e taxation by way of biding and covering up their property in the way of notes and other intangible evidences of value.the trainers of the constitution insert eJ the following provision in ttiat instru ment: "The legUlativo ,l,all 1ro .-e ,Jf 'r uniforin and eiua rate 1. assessment anil taxation; and siiall pre- s:ribe such regulations as shall secure a jut valuation for taxation of all pmpnly buh real and mono', ex"pting such only for municipal, educational, literary, scien tific, religious, or charitable purposes as may be ; jecial'y cicninted by law," (355 See 1 Art 9 of tile constitution.) The supreme court of this stab! in con struing this section lays down the follow ing: 'Xotes and mortgages nre personal properly within the purview of this sec tion and are therefore subject ti taxation." (Sec l'oppleton vs Yamhill count y 8 Oregon pa-c ! i : ncy is property, and therefore under the constitution must be taxed. We are led to these reflections upon the peru-al of three seperate assessment nnd taxation bills which the Chamber of Commerce of Portland has prepared and submitted to the public for their consideration and criticism. The first bill prepared by that body is one to repeal the morlpige tax law and the law avowing deductions for in debtedness. As we have shown above , under the constitution and the decision of the supremo court, mortgages must be tixel. and ns this bill repeals the mortgage tax law and does not provide any other way of taxing mortgpges or the notes which they are given to secure, but on the contrary expressly provides that "debts, and the evidences of debt. are not property,' me innovation is so radical ns to at once invite serious opposition. In fact there is scarcely a doubt that such a law would be held by the court to contravene the consti t ation inasmuch as that instrument recog nizes notes and mortgages as property, and a -onstitutional provision cannot lie re pealed by a statute. As to the repeal of the law allowing no deductions for indebtedness, it is safe to say that it will meet with much more favor than it ever has before. It is believed ba thos who have given llio matter much investigation that incr.se tho repeal should be effected there would be such an increase of taxable property ams.ig the wealthy of the state as to make it certain that those taxpayers who now give in deductions for indebtedness of SOOOO and less would find themselves paying much less taxes than now under the deduction clause. The bill provides that the . assessor shall make no distinction bc'.ween improved town Ms and unused tracts of land, but that Uiey must lie assessed as of the same value per lot or er acre as similar proximato lots or tracts improved and occupied.
