As a result of tho first session of tho state assessors' meeting yester day, held in the Bonato chamber of tho state capltol, tho tax prouiom nas grown more Intricate than -over, many matters having been brought to issue and argued exhaustively which will make food for much thought In future in tho determina tion of tho valuation of property for tho Durnoso of taxation. A solutulon is bolng sought by the Tax Commission and tho county as sessors ns to tho most ndequato and oxpeditlous mannor in which tho law can bo followed, which calls lor ac tual valuation of proporty as a basis of assessment. Porsonal proporty can bo assessed without much trouble but real property is Bomewhat of a stickler to tho assessors according to tho actual valuation plan. Asessors of counties In which thero is a heavy timber acreage, aro up against tho most trouble In arriving at tho actual valuation of property. It has beon tho custom generally to as sess tho proporty according to tho valuation considered by tho saleable prlco of the tlmbor land. This cus tom is proving wholly inpopular, ow ing to tho fact that tho valuo of Ore gon tlmbor lands within tho past fow years has Increased "wonderfully, nnd by assessing a pleco of tlmbor which tho owner could dispose of nt a con sideration of $1000 upon tho basis of its probable tlllablo value of tho land and tho tlmbor standing upon it, but in truth tho proporty would not be worth half tho amount In actual val uation. According to many of tho coun ties, which employ timber cruisers, tlmbor land Is valued on tho average of 45 per cent for tho stumpngo and $1 per aero, which valuation is con sidered to bo a triflo compared with tho selling price of tho land. Just what conclusion tho commis sion will arrivo at concerning this im portant issuo is not known, and will $ WW I A -mirHHnm 1 nil U UH I IK I Ki i mi iu mi w !
