Attempt at Suicide.
HMight Have Been Prevented.
[From the Boston Post.l

~DNeSNaA
While the walks in the Public Garden
were crowded yesterday afternoon about
430 o'clock, people near the entrance gates
at the corner of Beacon and Charles streets
were mortified to see man suddenly plunge
knife repeatedly into his throat and fall to
the ground
While waiting for conveyance an officer
questioned the would-be suicide, who was
about so years of age, as to his name, address,
and reason for wishing to end his life, but
the man steadfastly refused to give any infor-
nation regarding himself. He was taken 10
the Massachusetts General Hospital and
surgical attendance given him. Although
weak from loss of blood it is probable he
will recover. About o'clock last night
hospital attendant got little information
from him. He said his name was Samuel
D., and THAT he came some weeks ago
from New Brunswick. The last few days
his head has teh queer, and he has been wan-
dering about the city, not knowing which way
to turn. What impelled him to commit his
rash act he was unable to say.
The above is the familiar but terrible
story of the results of mental arrangement
caused by overstrain of the nervous system.
People who have dizziness, headache or back
ache, or who are troubled with melancholy or
despondent feelings, are already well on the
road which leads to insanity and suicide.

THn AssnssMnNr QUESTION

The whole question of assessment
should be thoroughly examined and dis
cussed by the people Of Clatsop county
There Is O strong conviction that the
county Is paying more than Its rightfu
share of the state taxes On the as
sessment last year a levy Of % mills was
made. comprising state, national guard
state university, school, county and
road taxes. The first three items named
comprise the state taxes. the levy fol
these three purposes was mills, and
the amount $39.9O1.S2. The remain
der $S55O3.S 49, was made up as follows
School tax, mills, $2S,5O1.20; county
tax. 1-2 mills, s4S, 1920; road tax. IL
mills. sS,65oSs.
The people are convinced
that Clatsop pays taxes on
higher valuation than is
used in other counties In determin-
ing the amount Of taxable property. OF
course, the state board Is expected to
equalIze the valuations. but in practice,
that board never reduces the county
return, since 1t assumes that no assess
or will over-value property. The chang
es by the state board are all the other
way Thus in dealing with Multnomah
county, the board raised the total as.
sessment OF that rich county from $685..
sS4, AIS to $S1. .699,2l2 This astounding in
crease Of over $l7,000,OOO was made be-
cause Portland property was assessed
at far below its actual value. In the
matter of mortgages wherein the face
value was apparent, and admitted of
no mistake,th the Portland assessor coolly
returned the amount as $S,72S,S2O. but
the state board felt bound to increase
that sum to $l745664O, which is exactly
double the original valuation. In this
county the mortgages are evidently re-
turned at their full value, inasmuch as
the board made no addition thereto.
1t was in view of such shrewd trans
actions on the part of Portland, that
II was recently observed that property
that Is taxed at $16O In Claclamas
county pays only $50 in Portland,
THE children of darkness are wiser
than the children OF light" Portland
believes In '1eveling up" Her people

When that body has raised the So
called valuation, the tax payers submit
complacently, knowing that 1t is stin
under the actual amount.
The changes made by the legislature
In the fiscal system. render 1t neces-
sary to make new departure in
assessing the property Of this county,
Fun information should be OBJ
tanned by the assessor as to
the basis adopted In all other coun,
ties. so that clatsop may not be over
burdened by unfair taxation.
