There is no doubt but that all such
milling properties are assessed too
low but there Is some argument In ia
vor OF that Mere unproductive and
unoperated factories and property, that
Is held for pleasure or speculation. and
gives no employment to labor, Is often
valued ridlculously low, when all these
mills that are operated, give constant
employment and are the life and en-
terprise OF the community. The rail-
roads in Oregon are assessed at one
fifth 10 one tenth OF their actual value,
while the farms are assessed at one
third TO one-fourth WHO doubts that
the railroads are the more profitable Of
the two? In an interview Tom John

Is assessed az only per cent OF It's

TAXING WATER FRANCHISES.


I'D Joufnal How shall the people
OF Salem bestow Their blessings upon
the Boafd of Equalization for cutting
down the $4,000 Assessment 70 the
pittance OF ,75JO. in the matter Of tax
ing a 5000. 900 water ditch? Is a ques-
ton not being very much discussed
The question Of why il was cut down
is q bit more important to the taxpay
ers. Rather strange the county finds
Il expedient to 'compromise a legiti
mate tax The valuable water fran.
chise has escaped taxation for years
and should now be willing to pay It's
share Of the taxes It reaps all the
benefits accruing to a right which has
the entire Geld without competition.
Have wheat quotations In Salem been
lower than In the surrounding towns
because Of this monopoly Of water
power or not? BY what right Is a com
promise asked? Are we forever TO
make the poor man pay the taxes?

Chairman OF the Dawes Commits
sion and Delegates to Him
Power now Invested in the
Secretary of the In.
terror.

A bill was introduced in Con
gress yesterday by Representative
Curtis of Kansas, which offers an
other solution Of the Indian terri
tory governmental problem.
Mr.. Curtis measure provides
that the territory shall have
governor, secretary of the terri
tory and a delegate TO congress.
The governor shall be chairman of
the Dawes commission, which is
vested with power to conclude and
finally determine many minor
matters in the territory which
must now be passed upon by the
interior department. In referring
to the purpose OF the measure. Mr..
Curtis said:
My object has been to devise
SONS plan OF government that will
meet the conditions in the terri
tory. 1t is out OF the question to
expect 10 create a regular territor-
ial form of government with all its
state and county officials at this
time. The cost of maintaining
such government would fall too
heavily upon the owners .of per-
sonal properly, who would have
to meet all the taxes. Under the
system | have proposed there
would be a head to the Dawes
commission which would have
power to adjudicate thousand
matters that are now carried to
the secretary of the interior or un-
loaded on the congressman from
neighboring states"
TIE bill to be offered by Mr..
Curtis has been examined by sew
eral officials OF the Indian depart
ment and the interior department.
These agree that the passage OF
the measure would materially
tighten the labors of the depart
M ents and aid in getting affairs so
adjusted in the territory that the
work of dissolving the tribal rela-
tions Of the Indians may be more
especially performed.
ALI interested in the develop
ment Of the Territory are anxious
for the reorganization OF the Dawes
commission, so that it's affairs may
be speedily closed up. PROPOSE
tions have been discussed in the
commitie on Indian affairs 10 abol-
ish the Dawes commission and
place it's work ia the hands of
bureau under the direction OF the
Indian department. The bill. If
adopted, will have that effect.
Member of the Indian affairs COM
mittee viii favor it. They will also
urge the passage Of the bill offered
by Mr.. Stevens OF Texas. providing
fsr the allotment of the lands Of the
