NEw YoEK May IA dispatch 70
the Journal and Advertiser from Paris
says: Addison Harris, ex- United States
Minister 10 Austria, is nov in Paris on
bis way home. He gave 10 the cor
respondent the following statement on
the oomnsrciaI sentiment Of European
Nations against the United States.
ain 1857 the Austria. Hungarian Min
lister Of Financial Affairs urged on the
Austrian Parliament the necessity for a
continental bond against the United
States Of America. IL was reported
that he also addressed notes on the sub
ject TO European courts. Austria in
pursuance Of this policy is now engaged
In framing a new tariff which 1t is e1-
pected Hungary will ratiiy, thus making
the new Austro-HuDgarian tariff take
effect ia 1903.
THAT year the triple alliance expires
by limitation as also to the CONNER
cial treaties between three powers. II
is reliably reported that these powers
will cooperate commercially at the
same time as they renew their material
alliance.
"The board Of Trade Of Austria is dill.
igently engaged in collecting data and
framing schedules and the Minister Of
Finance will soon submit the proposed
new Law 10 the Austrian Parliament. The
terms Of the schedule have not yet been
made public but one well informed said
% me:
"'Alter we get our new and our COM
mercial treaties in Germany and Italy
then II the United States want 10 trade
with us they must offer high induce
msnts.'
"Of course, how Austria and Hungary
may formulate their common tariff ID
not entirely assured. On this the COM
mercial treaties with Germany and
Italy must rest. But the sentiment Of
farmers and manufacturers Is for high
protectisn with fayortism 10 their polii-
ical allies.
"The operations Of Mr. Morgan aud
associates have energized the people Of
Central Europe. They are not afraid
they have ioreseen the free struggle
with tho Uninted States and have been
preparing for the fray. Including Italy,
Germany and Austria there are $50, O,OOO,'
900 persons between the Mcditerranea n
and Baltic. They produce eyerythi ng
we do except cotton. Germsny's iron
works are sacond 10 none and the
questian remaining with the merchants
Of Budapest Ia what IL the price Of grain
in Chicago2
"The upholders Of the triple alliance
claim they have controlled the peace Of
Europe during the last two years. They
contend that with a similar commercial
alliance they can regulate the commerce
Of Europe.
"'l do not think the Austrian Minister
sent inyitatations 10 the chancellories OF
Europe 70 join In coalition against the
United States. II he had he would not
tell. Anyway, the time is not ripe Tor
such action. European coalition is not
impossible but il is exceedingly diff
hcnlt."'

TAXPAYERS ASKING
BETTER TREATMENT
Suburban Residence owners Petition
Assessor Lsmbeke for Lower Valua-
tions
ComrIaiu That Their Properly IS
Assessed Higher Than Great Deal
Of Inside Real Estate.

Countv Assessor Cbas. L. Lembcke
yesterday received the following petition
which is sigDed by many property
owners in the eastern part Of the city,
which is virtually q protest against
being Assessed at ths.full value Of their
property while that down town is being
Assessed at about one-thirj TO one-half
its value.
THE PETITION.
To Chas. l.. Dembcke, Assessor Of
Marion county. Oregon.
We, the undersigned taxpayers OF the
eastern suburbs Of the city u Salem res.
pectfully represent that the real property
ior which We are assessed is being placed
al too high a valuation In the assessment
now being made. As a rule the property
in the section referred 10 is assessed at
full value, and in some instances at VAL
nee in excess Of what IL is selling for at
the present time, while we believe other
property in the city is being assessed at
about one third 20 one-halt its actual
value. knowing that it is your desire
and wish 20 have the assessment equit-
ably and Justly made, we take the liberty
/ VI EhAAluk NDhN aANNhNAVh ~ AAAA9 ElOIa a.
justice aud ask your prompt correction
Of the same.
This is a matter which should inter-
est every taxpayer in Marion county, az
it involves the relative taxes Of all. II
the claims made by these petitioners are
facts, and there lie every reason 70 be-
lieye they are, it is most serious ques-
zion. The petitioners claim that their
property, which is productive resi-.
dence property, is valued doubly as high
as downtown property, which lie pro.
ductive, and request that the discrimi.
nation be done away with One Of the
petitioners was seen by JOURNAL re-
porter, and affirms that il is q fact that
considerable real estate has recently
changed hands at prices below what it
is assessed for This is the result Of
the high valuations Of boom days 10
years ago, and they have remained t
the old figure. The owners Of little
homes in the suburbs seldom 20
to the assessors office to have their
valuations adjusted, in fact many Of
them are not familiar with the methods
employed to secure these ends. On the
other hand, the owners Of business
property are mostly keen business men
who have looked after their interests and
in most instances have had their yalua-
tions adjusted 10 more nearly meet the
ends Of justice. The result is that most
Of the residence property, which as nom
productive property should at least be
assessed as low as rent.paying property,
is paying twice the revenue TO the coun.
ty aud city that the valuable business
holdings are. The question is, shall
the one class be reduced or the other
raised in value?
Assessor Lembcke has the reputation
Of being fair man, and will no doubt
give the prayer Of these petitioners
due consideration. IL would be only
/ justice to both classes, and in the in.
terest Of the community at large, for
nothing tends 10 make people dis
contented to so great a degree as the
belief that they are being taxed heavier
than their neighbor.
