The cold weather has shut down work
on school buildings as well as building
work elsewhere in the city. A member Of
the school board said yesterday that with
no bad luck but with an abundance of bad
weather some of the buildings might not
be ready for use before the late spring
roses. But in his judgment there was
little use of getting alarmed OF fretting
over the matter in the least but take il
quietly and all things would come out

The remains of Mr. William Lentz, who
was killed near Cheney on Sunday, will be
shipped east for interment. 1t seems that
his wagon at the time of the accident was
loaded with shelled corn and as one of the
front wheels struck a stone in the road he
was pitched off to one side under the
wheels 1t was after this that the mules
started to run. which gave rise to the sup
position that his death resulted from driv-
ing an unmanageable team.

AFTER ALI

tariff to be IN the hands of It's friends. Jur.
Ing the last campaign we were told and retoId,
that there should BE- reduction Of the tariff.
but that / mus. be done by lis friends, ttbe
republicans,j and We were assured in The .most
confident way that just as soon a. they came
into power in all branches o. The government,
such reduction wsuid be made. Well, they ar E
10 power nov, and their ways and means com
mlstse are considering the subjuct and the fact
nsw develops i.seIfihat shai party '.is ail split
up. ias Mrs Daaiway would ron The sub
jeet, and Il win be almost impossible for the
party 10 agree upon any kind Of tariff bill.
Some, "a large number, want 10 reduce the
surplus BY reducing the internal tax oa whisky
and tobacco, bu. few members from the
north west say The reduction must be made on
such necessaries as sugar, coal and iron. At
this suggestion members from coal, iron, and
sugar districts declare they win never stand
reduction on these articles. Republicans In
the east want free wool while republicans from
the west want increased duties on that article,
and thus Il goes, all along The line Of protect
ed commodities, and Il Is NOT much wonder
That even the O,egonfen Il moved 10 exclnim:
THE truth Is. tariff legislation Is scramble
Of selfish interests" This truth has bern long
time 10 dawning upon the editors vision, bu
We venture the staiemen: that before many
months some more truths viii break In upon

yrcIous AasEssnENTs.

No more conclusive proof OF our miser :
able mode Of assessment could be adduced
than the one fact brought out At the as.
sessor's convention, namely, that nortga-
ges are assessed At one half their value In
Nultnomah, Columbia. and Wasco eoun-
ties; atlwo-ihirds their value in Baker,
clackamas and Morrow; at three-fourths
their value IN Union and Washington, and
At their full value In Grant, Umatilla,
Yamhili, Shcrm4n and Linn. The great
injustice done BY this vicious mode Of
executing cur assessment laws may be
shown by familiar example: suppose n
man In Columbia county loans $7s,ooo
taking real estate mortgage IS security.
II the tax levy be 10 mills andhis mortgage
Is assessed 81 one half its value the
AMOUNT Of his taxes would be S1so. A
man In yamhill loans $ag.noo on real es-
tate and taxes a mortgage. 1.-THE tx levy
be 10 mills and his moalgage is assessed
81 It's face value his tax would be 5000.
Here A with capital OF $4,000 pays $7so
more than d who has the same capital and
the tax rate is the same againss each.
The whole trouble and injustice arises
from the TACT that many assessors do not
do their sworn duty. The law provides that
mortgages shall be assessed to the full
amount OF the debt unless In the judgment
OF the assessor the land or real property by
which such debt Is secured Is not worth as
many dollars as s,ilI appears unpaid Of
such debt II all property were assessed
In accordance with law there would be no
trouble about the matter.
