PREPARE PETITIONS FOR INITIATIVE
To Submit Bill id People Re
jected by Legislature.
IS SMOTHERED IN COMMITTEE.
Linda Granted to Railroads and Other
Corporations toy Congress . in 1866
Escape Taxation Will Enrich
School Fund by Hundreds
of - Thousands of
Dollars.
A jtitigo Las been prepared and
copies of it will be put in circulation
within a week, the purpose of which
is to invoke the initiative clause of
the constitution upon a bill providing
for the assessment and taxation of
property situated in this state, which
has never been assessed heretofore,
dating back to the year 18G0.
If this act is adopted by the people
at the June election of liXHS when it will
be voted upon if submitted, it will be
ttie means of enriching the school fund
as a law and that a patent was not
necessary except as an identification
ox me lands conveyed. !
; There are many instances of record
where patents have been issued and
filed of record in some of the counties,
but these cases have been confined to
instances where the original owners
sold some of their holdings to private
individuals or corporations and were
compelled to make record of their
titles. These cases, however, only date
back for a period of ten or twelve
years, since which time they have been
assessed and taxes collected uron them.
It represents but a very small: per
centage of the holdings upon which
taxes have never been paid. The
United States supreme court- having
neia mat me grant by its language
operated as a grant in presentl (which
means that the grant takes effect as
soon as the law is enacted and the title
to the land passes at that time) the
filing of record of the patents issued
will not be necessary under the provi
sions of the proposed act, if it becomes
a law.
There are numerous private and mill
ing interests in this state who are hold
ing large land interests and have been
escaping taxation upon it for many
years. These lands comprise some of
the most valuable timber tracts in the
state and the back taxes due upon them
of the state and the several counties would amount to thousands of dollars.
to the extent of hundreds of thousands
of dollars. And the greater portion of
the back taxes will come from the rail
roads and corporations which have had
possession of valuable lands for more
than a score of years and have never
paid taxes upon tbem for the reason
I hat there is no record to show to whom
the property is to be assessed.
it is conservatively estimated that
iu Marion county alone the railroads

such land upon which no taxes have
ever been paid, and, if this bill becomes
a law, the amount of taxes due this
county will figure -up to more thafi

counties of the state the railroads and
other corporations hold a much larger
Besides the Southern I'aciiie and other
railroads, and the wagon road com
panies, which secured thousands of
acres of the best of the unsettled land
in the state under the government land
grant, probably the- most extensive
owner of land which would come under
the provisions of this bill and be sub
ject to taxation for many years back
is the Booth-Kelly Lumber Company of
Eugene, which owns some of the most
valuable timber land in the state, and,
it is said, has paid no taxes upon thou
sand of acres of it. The operation
of this bill would increase the funds
in the state and county treasuries to
the extent of several million dollars,
and the railroads and other interests
affected would doubtless fight the adop-
acreage and the amount of back taxes ! tiou of it very bitterly
due them would be proportionately I This bill, which is framed after the

A similar bill to this was introduced Mature by Jfeprcsentawve J. II. Settle-
tuming their share of the burden of
taxation. This state of affairs is lookeu
upon as a gross injustice by the tax
payers ana tney nave arrived at the
stage of desperation where they - ean
tolerate it no longer and have deeided
to take the matter into their own
bands, r These back taxes are really
looxea upon as an indebtedness to the
state and the legislature has the power
t pass a law of this character that
will reaeh back for any period of time
mat it sees nc These Jaws bare-been
universally upheld by the courts of
last resort, and, consequently, if the
legislature had such power the people
nnoer me initiative nave tne same
power.
"This law would not aordv to anv
class of property whatever except that
which had never been heretofore as
sessed or taxed in any manner or plaeed
upon any tax roll for the purpose of

property as has never been assessed

the assessors have not been able to
list it to the proper owners. All prop-

the identical law has been upheld upon
several occasions when carried to the
United States supreme court. One case
in particular. which I ean eite is an
appeal from the state of Michigan in
whieh this question is raised and de
cided in the affirmative."
The petitions have been practically
completed and it is only necessary to
nave them printed before tbey will be
ready to put in circulation. Those
who are prominently connected with
the movement say they hope to be
able to send them out to all parts of
the state within the week. It requires
8 per cent of the total vote cast for

tion to incite the initiative upon the
bill, and tlfose who have the matter

in the last legislature and it parsed

the light of day again. The railroads
and wagon road companies which hold

Virtue of the grant of congress of I860
will be the most seriously effected by
the provisions of this bill. Besides
these there are other private aad cor
porate interests in the state which
would also I'omo within its purvue and
be compelled to pay taxes upon their
holdings for a period of several years
back.
The act of congress referred to was
adopted in the year JS66 and it grant
'ed to the Oregon & California Railroad
Company, now the Southern Pacific, the
right to select every other section of
land along its right of way within a
limit of twenty miles on each side
of the track. The right to make in
demnity selections increased the range
limit to thirty miles. The same act
also granted to the wagon road tym
panies the right to select every other
section of land upon each side of its
right of way within a distance of six
miles. This grant enabled the rail and
wagon road companies to select the
very best of the unsettled land of the
state along their rights of way. and,
because they have never secured pa
tents to their land, or, if so, have never
had thera recorded, there has been no
data upon whieh the assessors could
work and they therefore have escaped
taxation ever since the passage of the
net of grant. The supreme court of
the United States-has held that this
net operated as a coneyanee as well
mier of this county, and killed by
strangulation by the senate committee
(known as house bill No. 317), author
i7.es the levying' of an assessment open
all property which has escaped taxa
tion within the period covered by it
and up to the present time. ' The attor
ney general is created a special asses
sor and tax collector under its provi
sions, and, in order that he be able
to secure a complete and accurate list
of nil property subject- to back assess
ment and taxation, he is empowered to
employ a competent corps of deputy
special assessors to colleet and compile
such data. The compensation of these
deputies is to be fixed by the attorney
general, out of the sums collected by
him, and on a contingent basis, and if
no sums are collected they shall reeeive
no compensation. Upon completing the
lists the attorney general will be re
quired to make public notice for thirty
days, by publishing such in some week
ly newspaper in the state.
The petitions for the initiative upon
this bill have been prepared by Attor
neys W. II. and Webster Holmes of
this city, at the instance of the tax
payers. The petitions are gotten up in
strict accordance with the form pro
vided by law, with the exception that
they are, provided with a long pre
amble which sets forth the object of
the bill for the benefit of the taxpayers
who will be asked and have an oppor
tnnity to sign them. In discussing the
merits of the bill last evening Messrs.

P. King, a prisoner In the Marion coun
ty jail, could not have been siezed with
a mere severe chill than he was yes
terday afternoon when a bullet from
Sheriff Culver's revolver crashed
through the window pane uncomfor
tably close to his bead, where be was
at work sawing the bars. This act upon
the part of the sheriff frustrated an
attempted jail delivery; and it came
none too soon as one bar had already
been cut off and a pry was beine ap
plied to the adjoining, bars by which
means an opening, sufficiently large to
admit the body of a man of more than
Laverage size, would have been made in
but a few moments. Sheriff Culver,
however, had been keeping elose watch
on his "boarders" and his faithful
vigilance, and that only, prevented a
break. Four of the eight male prison
ers in jail took part in the plot and
t was their intention to .make their
escape shortly after 5 o'clock or as soon
as the county officers had departed for
their homes.
With the approach of the April term
of circuit court and five prisoners in
jail awaiting their fate, with terms in
the penitentiary staring them in the
face, Hberiff Culver and his competent
deputies have felt more or less uneasy
during the past few weeks, fully real
izing the unsafe condition of the old
jail and for that reasun they have kept
a close watch on the jailbirds, both
day ami night. At o ciock yesier
day afternoon Sheriff Culver went in
to 'the recorder's office to look up some
records and while there thought be
heard a peculiar grating noise coming
from the jail, lie immediately sum
moned hi deputy,, H. P. Minto, and
looking out of ; the window of the rep
eorder's office he saw what seemed tf
be" a file being operated upon the barjs
below. It was imt a moment until he
could see a pry bending its force upon
the bars, and it was then he brought
hi revolver into play and caused the
unsoners to desiKt from their work
whale Deputies Minto and William
Esch ran down stairs, entered the jail
and locked the desperate men securely
in their cells.

A thorough search of the jail was at

iff took a hand, l he work was done on

under the cross plate where the cut

in order , that thev eouM more easily

was taken from an Id bunk in one or

and his cellmate, Roy Conklin. was also

Four Prisoners in Plot.
After the iail had been thoronghly
searched the nine occupants, one by one
were Put through t sweating process
and it was soon found that four of the
prisoners were implicated in the at
tempted break. 1. King, Ray Conk
lin. Arthur Free! and Loq Wah Lee, a
Chinaman.
King is , known to be a desperate
crook. On November 3d of .last year
he was bound over to the circuit court
under; $300 bonds upon the charge of
larceny from a building. He had been
arrested for stealing an overcoat from
the office of the Oregon Nursery Com
pany, on Twelfth Street. His case was
to come, up at the January term or tne
circuit court ! bnt owing to the illness
of the prosecuting; witness the case
was continued until tne April term.
Kay Conklm is serving a six-month'
term for larceny from, the person. He
stole a watch from one J. P. Williams
during last state fair week and was
onvicted at the Ucterr term oi conn.
Arthur Freel was bound ever under

and Mrs. Minnie Beecher, bound over
to the circuit court by Justice W. 1L
(jueener of -Stayton precinct, for the
erime of lareeny. i ;
These five inmates unhesitatingly
told the sheriff all they knew concern
ing the plot -hatched by the other four
and their stories all agreed as to the
general details. Mrs.: Beecher,, who
occupies the woman's ceil in the north
east corner of the building, watched
the work of the would-be jail breakers
daily, as she commanded a crood view
from her cell window of the bars which
were being sawed Although she kept
mum while the work was in progress,
she was the first to reveal the identity
of the guilty parties when questioned
by the officers. -i
The frustrating of this attempt at
jail delivery reflects much credit upon
Marion county's popular sheriff, who,
during his brief career as such has in
many wavs proven himself to be a most
efficient" officer. But for his unceasing
vigilance the plot which came to light
yesterday would no doubt have been
carried Out successfully and bis prompt
and efficient action showed that be was
equal to all occasions' and ready to deal
with the criminals in hisehare with
out fear or hesitancy. From now on
to the day of their trial the three pris
oners who were interested in the deal
yesterday and who are awaiting the ae-
lon of the circuit court, will be kept
closely confined in .their cells.

BROCKTON, Mass., March 0. At
least sixty jerson were killed early
today by the explosion of a boiler in
a large shie. manufacturing establish
ment in the Campello district conducted
by the R, B. Orover Company.
The explosion was immediately fol
lowed by a flash of flames which con
sumed the factory, a long four-story
structure, as if it were a house of
cards, and incinerated an unknown
number of men and women who were
unable to extricate themselves from the
mass of tangled wreckage formed -by
the terrific upheaval in the boiler room.
More than fifty employes in the build
ing were maimed, burned or bruised by
the time they reached safe ground.
Some had jumjed from the roof, some
the windows and others were injured
in a mad rush to escape from the doom
ed factory, from which all parts emit
ted the heat of an inferno, driving
back the band of heroic rescuers who,"
in a few minutes, had performed gal
lant service.
The fire extended from the factory
to seven other bnildirtgs in the vicinity
and destroyed them. One of these was
a three-story wooden building, the oth-'
ers being cottages of small value, and
a blacksmith shop. A wooden dwelling
situated near the engine room was prac
tically demolished by the flying boiler,
but none of the occupants were ser
iously injured. '4 he total financial los
is estimated at 2."0,000. .

many persons perished in tire wreck
