OF PUBLIC SENTI-
ME,\T.

1t has now leaked out that prior to
the formal meeting of the county as
SCISSORS in Spokane about fourteen of
them held Il secret conference With
agents of the railroads at which ii WAS
agreed that there should be an in
crease of ten per cent in the assess
ment of railroad trackage and a slight
increase in the assessment of rolling
stock in order To head off the Mcbride
agitation for Il tax commission and for
a railway commission. After the con-
found that the Mcbride men We're in
the ma jority the railroads consented
10 a further increase in the assessment
Of rolling stock as another sop to the
whale of public sentiment
But after all this Assessor MeSSen
ger OF Garfield county. Assessor Hop
kins of Columbia county and Assessor
Wilson of ASotin county joined in d
signed statement in which they sad;
We want To go on record as declar
ing our conviction that the railroads
of this state ought to be assessed at
least two or three times as much as
the old rate OF So 600 Il mile
According To the report of the inter-
state commerce commission the value
Of firSt-clasS railroads in this state is
not less than $4,000 a mile. and if the
N per cent basis were adopted, the
Valuation for taxation would be fully
$50. 600 4 mile. The gross earnings of
these roads according to their own
financial statements are not less than
$1,000 per mile.
The fact that the railroads consented
II any increase in their assessment
vas a recognition of the strong Senti-
ment in the state in favor Of the equit-
able assessment of all classes of prop
orty. This concession is hopeful
sign. and ii is only a forerunner OF
what is TO come when the people shall
have endorsed the lobby and regainet
control of their state legislature.
