there is at present no occasion for the
presence of a United States warshp.
John Abbott and John Bassett Moore call

In effect the announcement is this: If the

each congressional district, with two from
the states at large, by the direct votes of

AN EQUAL ASSESSMENT
Press Association Proposes Law
For This Object

Albert Tozier, secretary of the Ore
gon Press Association, reports 242
publications in the state of Orgon, l19
of which are weoklies, 81 monthlies,
23 dailies, semi weeklies, semi
monthly and / quarterly.
Among the recommendations by the
legislative committee of the Oregon
Press association was that of the
amendment to tue tax bill, which was
prepared by the committee during
the special ses ion of the legislative
assem- bly,, which required the assessor
TO prepare list by precincts of the
names and total value of the property
of each person assessed IN such pre-
oinct and requiring such list to be
published at least 10 days prior TO
the meeting of the board of equaliza-
tion of the respective counties.
The committee believes this law to
be a good one and of great interest
to the public in general, and says:
"This law is drafted after the Illi-
nois law which has practically solved
the problem of attaining a fair and
equal assessment of property. The
Illinois law requires printed de-
scription Of the property and is more
expensive than the one we have
caused to be prepared, which viii
therefore be great economy ovel
the Illinois law and will cost thu
counties but little. The cost, o
course, will depend upon the num- be
of taxpayers in the county"
