valuo shall bo ascertained In such

fore Incumbent upon tho legislature
to tako tho necessary steps In order
to havo tho state avail Itself of the
great privilege guaranteed to It by
tho above provision of law. Under
state control no higher rate of loll

valuable water power now controlled

right of eminent domain, If neces
sary, tho stale could receive sufllo
lent revenue to ojiou the locks to
freo commerce, besides furnishing a
surplus for the statu tremmry for tho
benefit of tho common school fund.
Tho legislative assembly, as tho law
provides, shall prescribe tho manner
of fixing the sum to be paid to the
company for tho locks. Probably
tho fairest method, and ouo to which
the company could certainly make
no objection, would ho to take tho

At tho last session of the leglsla
turo threo bills passed at tho lustanco

Of that number, senate bill 185 re

ASSESSMENT AND TAXATION
One of tho most important mat
ters to engage your attention is tlie
absolute necessity or a tliorougn,
and in some respects a radical,
change In our laws relative to as
sessment and taxation. An tho law
now stands, with but a mere nom
inal penalty and one difficult to en
force for a failure on tho part of a
taxpayer to give to tho assessor a
sworn statement of all ids proporty,
real and personal, it is Impossible
to reach but tho merest fraction of
personal property, thus allowing
those possessed of money and oilier
species of personal property to es
cape their share of the burden of
taxation, thereby tlirowiug a
doublo burden upon tho owners of
real property. No amendment or
our laws should bo made without
containing a provision that would
secure boyond all pcradyeutuvo the
sworn listed statement from every
taxpayer of his property, real und
personal. Provision should also ue
mndo by which tho state revenue
could bo raised directly from the
people, entirely independent of
county taxation. Tills woultl pre
vent that condition ol allalrs wliicti
now prompts a low assessment iu
each county, in order to prevent an
unjust share of stato taxation, and
would also obylate tho necessity of
a stato board of equalization an ox-
ponslvo instrumentality, which, as
it would bo entirely Impossible for
It to examine each piece of property
which hits been passed upon by the
county assessors, would bo necessa
rily impotent of performing ruiiy
and satisfactorily the duties assigned
to it.
A sufficient State revenue, Inde
pendent of any county levy, could
easily bo secured by requiring to be
paid In tho State treasury a poll tax
of $2 on every male person over 21
years of ago, a graduated income tax
on all Incomes exceedlug $1,000, and
a tux upon the gross receipts of ex
press, telegraph, telephouo and insur
ance companies. Tho law can be
mado bo as to secure tho lull pay
ment of all theso taxes by making
tho production of a poll tax receipt
for tho current year at tho polls a
required,, proof of tho residence of
tho voter, and by the Imposition of
a heavy Hue by tho courts for a (all
ure to glvo a sworn statement of the
taxpayer's liicoino, or of tho various
companies i Might to be taxed. The
law should be fixed also In all of Its
details so as to enforce that constitu
tional provision which requires the
securing of a Just valuation of all
property, real and personal, and lor
its uniform and equal rate, both of
assessment and taxutton. Tho ex
emption now allowed by law to ev
ery householder Is apparently a rea
sonable one, and that provision
which requires the taxation of
money loaned on mortgages to bo
mado In the county whoro It Is so
loaned Is a Just one.
There Is tho most gravo doubt as
to whether, under that provision of
the fundamental law requiring an
equal rate of taxation, tho legislative
assembly of this Stale can rightfully
give authority to municipal govern
ments, In charters granted to them,
to Impose any license tax whatever
upon any business or vocation. An
equal rato of taxation can ho had
upon all property, real and personal,
and Incomes; but a fixed license tax,
demanded for tho privilege of con
ducting business In certain callings,
cannot bo an equal tax, unless all
other callings aro equally taxed, mitl
for tiio further reason that some per
sons paying thu same license as
others in tho same calling may not
bo able to transact the same amount
of liUBlness or derive tlio same
amount of profit, And experience
lias also shown that these taxes are
not placed where there Is tho best
ability to pay and where Justice d.
mauds that they should be placed;
but tut n ruletho wagon of tho oor
oxprcHMiiaii Is taxed, while thu car
riage of the gentleman of wealth Is
untaxed; and thu imwuhrokor who
deals ullli tho mott unfortunate
classes ol the community iays while
tho banker who lUuls with KMph
of means Is exempted, if tlio pro
vision of law allowing deduction for
Indebtedness bo retained, It would
bo well to Inquire whether such de
duction should botillowcd for debts
owing to national banks, Jn'o de
duction is now allowed for debts
owed to jmrthw outside thu state for
thu good reason that theoorrvsHml
lug credits cannot Wo Uixcd, j'or a
like reaxui debts owed to national
bunks should not U deducted, us
under the law of fougiVMi tho state
Is permitted toiuscmoiily thusharus
and real property of such bank. No
permhulon Is given to awe the
notes and accounts owned ami held
by them. The stato ttKctv-ors are
IhcfjAije precluded from making
the Inquiry ,v to whether chilms for
ludcbtcdut4 to MUd) Uuiksns may
tie mude are real or riotiou, 'IN.
ttarilict such claimed Indvbtwdmw
would Mwefure leave the door wide
opouto fraud. Jf, then, deduction
for Indebtedness U nlb)Viil, the law
should not only exclude all In
debtaduod owed outside the state,
hut Also nil that is iiou-assessable
within the stale.

ABOLISHMENT OK OFFICKS.
More than 100 offices were created
by the legislative assembly of the
stato at its last two sessions, exclu
sive of the oillcers necessary to put
In operation the new counties made.
There Is no need of multiplying of
ficers to prey upon the people. In
stead of creating commissions for
every conceivable purpose for eacli
particular Interest, mid as represent
ing the slate, to exercise supervision
over each of our manifold industries
and occupations, as Is the tendency
of modern legislative action, there
should bo at once a return to the old
rule established by the wisdom and
experience of centuries, of govern
ing tlio various Industries and inter
ests of the commonwealth by well
established general laws, adminis
tered by the authorities designated
by tho constitution. The common
wealth should be governed by duly
enacted laws and not by tho edicts
of unconstitutional commissions,
and the law should be administered
by the officers created by the con
stitution. .AH commissions for the
enforcement of stato laws ought to
bo abolished. If there bo laws fixing
tho freight rates on railroads, there
Is no need of a railroad commission;
tho necessary laws regarding our
fishing Interests can be enforced by
tho executive and judicial de
partments, dispensing with all nec
essity of llsh commissioners. The
federal government having passed
an oleomargarine law, dispenses, ti
a certain extent, with the necessity
of a state food inspector, which olll
ser, if so disponed, which the present
faithful Incumbent has not been,
under the law as it now stands like
all commlssioneis endowed with
power, could reap a private fortune
without doing any material public
good, and the negligence of fiuit
growers could be punished as well
without as with an Itinerant Inspect
or. Tho law creating a court report
er should also bo repealed because of
Its tendency to monopoly. The
various Industries and occupations
of our people should be controlled
by general law, administered by the
duly constituted authorities, and the
swarm of special oillcers for special
purposes, which are becoming as big
a plague to our people as tho fros
mid lice were to the people of Egypt,
should be abolished. The executive
and Judicial departments created by
the constitution can administer the
law, thus Huviii,; tho oxtriuir.lhmry
expense of these multiplied commis
sioners. Lot tho laws creating tho
various commissions be repealed,
and an euactmuut 'i ado authorizing
tho Cloveruor, In the event of a vio
lation of law nllectlng public Inter-'
ests, toappolnt a prosecuting witness
to bring tho ollender Into court for
punishment, and thu law can be
administered more thoroughly thau
It Is now under a divided responsi
bility. In order to still further re
duce the taxation imposed upon the
Koplo in favor of office-holders, It
would bo well to pay all county oill
cers fixed salaries, and compel them
to turn all fees paid under tho law
Into the county treasury.

Two very Important questions
were definitely settled by tho people
at the last election in this state, one
of which was that Issuance of non
taxable bonds should never be auth
orized by the legislative assembly,
and the other was the adoption of
the Australian ballot system. All
three political partle declared in
favor of the ballot law as proposed
by tho ballot reform league of this
state, und good faith will require of
this legislature the speedy and unan-''
Imous puHago of such law.

fairs, there Is now, therefore, $9,500
appropriated for premiums annually,
and 3-et there is nearly the same rea
nn Tor cnmnlalnt as before. Kor
Instance, the report of the board of
tho first Eastern Oregon District
Agricultural Society for the present
year discloses the fact that thcentire
$1,600 was distributed to only fifty
two persons in the vicinity of llakcr
City. It will thus be seen that tlio
equitable distribution of money
appropriated for premiums by the
state has not even been attained by
the multiplicity of lairs. Is It just
thut the citizens of Clatsop, Coos or
Lake counties should bo taxed for the
purpose of raising tliorum of $1500 to
be paid to the 62 poisons residing
ueur Baker City as premiums on
articles perhaps inferior to what
they might have presented If equal
opportunity had been afforded them?
The plain ruleof right demands thut
no tux should be laid by the govern
meht upon the people for any other
purpose than the economical admin
istration of government. Ami
whenever this Just rule is departed
from, and taxes are laid upon all for
the purpose of giving bounties to
the few, it will sooner or later meet
with popular disapproval. It can
not be denied that if the legislature
of a state makes appropriations for
such purposes, there Is no power
that can gainsay It, nor is there any
Inhibition against It, but that law
of Justice which forbids that any one
man should be taxed for the benefit
of any other man, and which is
equally as sacred as nrc the provis
ions of the constitution, ought to
control the action of the legislature
in this matter.
An efi'ort, sanctioned by tho state
hoard of trade and by very many of
the leading journals of the state,
will be made to secure at tbe pres
ent session of tho legislature an ap
propriation of $260,000 to be expend
ed In advertising the state at the
Columbian Exposition to be held at
Chicago two yeais hence. Can
such sum, or can any Mini what
ever, be rightfully appropi luted for
such purpose from money collected
by taxation of tlio people? If it Is
unjust to tax the whole people to
raise money to be expended ut fairs
within tho slate, would it not be
much more unjust to raise money
by taxation to be expended for fairs
witdout the state?
In this day when the people are
taxed for almost every conceivable
purpose, Oregon would gain a wide
and well-earned popularity among
the over-taxed people of other states,
if it would refife to levy any tax for
any purpose except an economical
administration of government, Such
a refusal would bo calculated to In
duco a large immigration hither
ward. I.OCA I. 1 JII'HOVIIIIII.VTH.
While there is no provision of the
constitution forbidding the appropri
ation of money collected from a gen
eral tax for special and local pur
poses, yet tho proposition that tho
people of one locality slioulu be
taxed for the benefit of the people
of another locality is so manifestly
unjust as to merit the most positive
di-approval. No general tux should
bo levied for any other purpose
than the general welfare. Aud
when money collected from such a
tax Ih appropriated for local hn

LAWS KKOUXATINa MONOI'OMKS.
Laws should bepassed fixing tbe
maximum ratps to bo charged by
the railroad aud telegraph compan
ies within the state, and the legisla
tive bodies of all incorporated cities
should have the power conferred
upon them to fix the rates to be
charged by all monopolies within
corporate limits, sucli as gas, water,
telephone, and electric light com
panies. Laws should also be passed
preventing by the Imposition of
heavy peuulties any discrimination
whatever by common carriers, in
either freight or passenger transpor
tation, or in the charges of telegraph,
telephone or other monopolies.
In order to secure reasonable
charges for the towage of vessels
from the open sea into the Colum
bia river, by which the commerce of
our state would be increased, and
tho cost of tho transportation of our
exports to foreign markets would be
materially lessened, to the direct
benefit of tho producers of the entire
state, It would be extremely advis
able for the stato itself to proyide by
law for the building of two steam
tugs, to be operated by the stato in
connection with the pilot schooner
now owned by the stato, charging
only for the towage of vessels such
rates as would merely pay the inter
est on the investment, the current
expenditures and the other necessary
outlays lor keeping tho tugs iu good
repair. Let this be done, and let the
Columbia at tho cascades and the
dalles aud the Willamette at tbe
falls be opened to free commerce,
and all monopolies upon our trans
portation facilities would be com
pletely disarmed aud removed by
opeu and free competition. Such
methods are much more effective of
reasonable charges thau are the rates
fixed either by statute law or rail
road commissions, and thenece&sary
outlay for such provisions for the
cheap transportation of our pro
ducts to foreign markets, uncontrftll
ed by monopolies, would be much
more eilectivc in inducing immigra
tion than twice or thiicettie amount
expended iu advertising our state in
any fair to be held beyond its bor
ders.
The enactment of another statute
iu regard to corporatiens engaged in
rutlroad-trauHportotlou is emphatic
ally demandell by every Instinct of
American manhood
It has become
a too frequent occurrence, in the
event of a dlllercnco between rail-
road corporations and their em-
ployes, as-to the matter of wages or
of just treatment, for such corpora
tions to surround themselves with a
hireling soldiery, unknown to the
law, at variance with tho law and
defiant of tho law. Jn controversies
of all kinds between such corpora
turns and their eiuployes.arbitratlon

It ought to be provided for by stat-

them both on an equal tooting by
