taxation AZ that rate. A business
building worth 500 900 is assessed
az SO 900. and 10 on with reference
to all other classes Of property. and
I have been told that about the
same rule OF valuation prevails In
this city and In all the other large
cities OF this state. Fellow citizens.
that rule prevails with reference to
every class OF property except one.
and that IL the property Of great
public service corporations.
i have lived IN this state and
territory for twenty years. and this
class Of taxpayers have never borne
its fair proportion Of the burdens
OF government. The history Of the
valuation OF these properties is that
for a long time prior 10 1897 our
railways Were valued for taxation
at sfs15 per mile. which Was about
one-fourteenth part OF their actual
cash value.
Upon the election OF Governor
John r. Rogers this valuation Was
raised from sass per mile TO slo.-
5s0 per mile. but still that was only
about one-slxth part OF the value
OF the railways. After the election
OF 1900. Governor Rogers having
been the only democrat elected up
on the state ticket. the republican
secretary OF state. the state auditor
and the commissioner Of public
lands. composing the state board
Of equalization. promptly reduced
this valuation down 10 the sum OF
$1,000 per mile. and that valuation
has obtained ever since until the
present year. when the convention
Of county assessors fixed the value
Of the railways for purposes OF tax
alton az s. goo per mile which is
less than one-ninth part of their
actual value.
Fellow citizens. I say that our
railways. instead OF being worth only
$1,000 per mile. are worth $65. 600
per mile. and for making this state
ment I have been taken to task by
the partisan press as a monstrous
demagogue. and as a man who was
endeavoring 10 stir mp strife be-
tween the people and the railroads,
but | want Ca say 90 you that "
am demagogue in making this
statement I pride myself on re-
markably good company. because I
! find myself In the company of the
supreme court OF the United States
fapplause1. and when that great trt-
hanal has spoken. controversy
ceases upon the part OF every good
citizen I'm this country.
"Now. let Us take the Northern
Pacific railroad as an illustration
That great railway has a bonded

Senator George Turner. candidate
for governor on the democratic
ticket delivered his first local cam
paiEn speech in the new Auditor
lum last night In spite o. the
steady downpour Of rain which fell
durinf the whole evening and the
fact thai the meeting had not been
properly advertised. over SOC peo-
pie welcomed the distinguished
statesman and orator and listened
aftcnfIvely TO his statement and
discussion OF the issues Of the pres
ent campaign for nearly two hours.
There was abundance Of enthu-
siasm. for Turner Il a masterful
speaker Ills personality Is com
manding. his Voice IS calm. dispas-
slonate and musical. his delivery

THE MOST EMPHATIC MANNER
THAT IF TIE WERE ELECTED
HE WOULD SEE THAT THE
NEXT LEGISLATURE PASSED A
RAILROAD COMMISSION BILL
AND THAT HE WOULD SIGN IT.
The subject matter OF his ad-
dress was totally different from the
campaign thunder which he has
been using over on the other side
OF the mountains. Beyond the Cas-
cades his favorite theme has been
the excessive freight rates which
have worked untold hardships upon
the farmers IN that portion Of the
state.
His talk last night was largely
devoted 10 the efforts of the rail
roads 70 escape their just proper
