JUDGE TAYLOR ANSWERS
"TAXPAlERs" LETTER.
He Gives Figures Showing That Taxes
Ia Astoria Are Much Higher Than
IN Portland.

ASTORIA. April 2-Editor AstorInn:
Il is not surprising tina, those who are
Opposed TO reduction Of taxation. under
existing conditions. should object to the
Astorian publishing my communications.
II Is surprising that anyone who sin
lcerely believes In reducing taxes can
still believe # possible that We can hide
have tried that for a long time. and have
only succeeded In deceying ourselves.
Instead Of others. Successful business
men inform themselves Of existing con
ditions before investing In a community.
Our condition Is wed known all over
| the coast, and II has advertised us most
/ thoroughly. The best advertising we
can do. at the present time TO Offset II,
| Is to have the Information 20 abroad
that our taxes are reasonably low. that
We are living within our means and are
reducing our obligations. Economy Is as
essential as energy and push in bringing
about a permanent prosperity.
! Taxpayer. in his communication OF the
INST instant. accuses me OF classifying
TO the world the financial condition OF
our city" He admits my figures OF In
debtedness. but says 10000 OF It is
water bonds for which no taxes are paid; ;
but that the interest and sinking fund
are provided from the water rates. Our
people pay the water rates. II Is a tax
IupOn them. The $500 10 OF bonds were
Issued by the city. They must be paid
by the inhabitants and property owners
OF the city. and constitute a part Of the
city's indebtedness, which is an lncum-
brance upon the property OF every tax
payer of the city. The same II true OF
street bonds. which amount TO S24 S75.23.
instead Of S20O,0J0 The city issued the
bonds and IS pledged to their payment
They are part Of the clty's present In
debtedness. and must be paid whether
the property upon which the city holds
a lien brings enough for that purpos'
or not Whether money Is raised by
general taxation, by special assessment
or by water rates. It is raised by a form
Of taxatlon. The fact that Interest on
water bonds and street assessment Is not
palu out Of funds raised by general tax
alton tends to emphasize the fact that
taxation for other purposes is too great.
Taxpayer refers to my communications
as "lUgubrlous." j5-mill tax Is enough
to make one who has to pay It lugu-
brious, and II taxpayer can pay such
tax cheerfuliy, upon any considera bic
property he must, indeed, be Of cheer
ful disposition. II such tax does not
haunt him, The ghost Of which he makes
mention will never be seen by him. how
ever much we may talk ghost" He
says that the charge that taxes are
higher here than elsewhere is untrue, and
asserts that taxes are far heavier in
Portland than in Astoria II such is
the case our valuation is too low. Our
assessor and others Of our reputable
citizehs who claim to have Investigated
the Subject maintain the contrary. Taxes
are az mills in Portland; here they are
5.2 mills. Something Is wrong. What Is

A GREAT STORM.
Heaviest Fall of Snow in Colorado In
Many Years-Fcnr of nm Avail
anche at KokomO, Col.

Denver, Col, Jan. 30.-The snow
storm which has been raging on the
mountains since early last week has
subsidized. The sun broke through the
clouds Sunday and the wind abated. In
some places the fall of snow has been
the heaviest in Is years. In and about
Leadville serious results are threat
ened. The supply of coal and provi-
sions in the smaller mountain towns
has become exhausted, and suffering
must result unless the railroads can be
opened to the places. Snowslides are
reported from several places, but only
from Apex, where three were killed, has
come information of casualties. Infor-
nation from Kokomo is to the effect
that great masses of hard packed snow
overhang the town. threatening it
with serious damage should they give
way. Kokomo was carried away by an
avalanche in the carly SOS. and the res
idents are fearful lest this should be re-
peated now. The South Park road has
been tied up between Como and Lead
Vile. Several days ago an attempt was
made to run train with provisions
westward through the snow. The train
stuck near Dickey, where it has re-
manned ever since. 4 snowslide near
Hegerman tunnel on the Colorado Mid
land has blocked that road west of
Leadville. and trains to Glenwood have
gone over the Denver q Rio Grande
tracks. Between Como and Leadville
the snow has drifted in the cuts to the
depth OF 30 and 40 feet. The only road
running west and cast from Leadvile
that has been clear is the Denver & Rio
Grande, which has felt but little iucon-
We niencc from the storm.

IRELAND IN ROME
The Famous American Prelntc VIII
Not Represent America mt the
DIsnrmam Conferences.

Rome, Jan. 30.-Archbishop Ireland
went to the vatican Sunday, where he
had a conference with Cardinal Ram
polla, papal secretary of state. Many
cardinaland other high ecclesiastics Wis
tied the archbishop at the Hotel Bristol.
where he is staying. In the course of
IN interview he declared that there was
absolutely no foundation for the state
mcnt that he had been urged TO repre-
sent the United States at the forthcom-
ing conference regarding the limitation
Of ornaments. The United States, he
said, had not yet nominated delegate.
The archbishop was very reserved in his
replies to questions respecting religious
problems in America, on the ground
that it was necessary for him TO wait
for the holy see to pass upon such mat
tiers.
