The Mortgage Tax Law.

Mr.. John Ray in Corvallis Times,
writes: AS a citizen and taxpayer
1 am glad the mortgage tax law Ii
under discussion for, in its working,
it is not what was expected or de
sired, for, in Benton county, it Ii
severely harsh on the one hand and
surpasses leniency on the other
therefore, if we are to have dis
cussion on this question, let it be as
full as possible that every tax payel
may know how to cast his vote, if IA
vote on the matter Is called for. ]
desire to call your attention to ont
feature of its workings at this time,
leaving for another occasion it,
further discussions if necessary.
In the workings of this mortgage
tax law it must be understood thai
under the same law, counties in
making assessments, vary from
fifty cents on the dollar, to its full
value. Multnomah county at 5O
cents and Benton county one dollar
or full assessment. Now the con
stitution and the laws, which are
supposed to be based on ihe consti-
tuition demand that taxation shall
be uniform, but this is how they
work:
