REDUCED RAILROAD VALUES
AT Request of the Railroad Says the
Spokesman-ReView

The following was printed as an
editorial in the Spokesman-Review
last week. When it is recalled that
Spokane has been the home town Of
Mr.. Rockwell for many years and that
his home paper is not unfriendly to
him but only prints the facts in the
interest of truth and fairness-they
must carry some weight.
Tax Commissioner T. D. Rockwell,
in his letter to Judge Miles Poindexter,
denies that the state board of equali-
cation has reduced or has the power 10
reduce the assessed valuation OF rail-
road property as fixed by the county
boards OF equalization. Mr.. Rockwell
insists that railroad property is actually
taxed upon the valuation placed upon
it by county assessors and equalized
by county boards.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1908-08-28

Both Commissioner Rockwell and
Judge Poindexter, however, have over
looked vital point in the assessment
Of railroad property-that the county
assessors and the county boards of
equalization must be guided in their
work of assessing railroad property by
the orders which may be given them
by the state tax commission, of which
Mr.. Rockwell is a member. The state
board of equalization consists of five
members, three Of whom are members
of the tax commission. The state board
can not alter the actual assessment of
the property once it is made, but three
of its members composing the tax
commission can make the assessment
in the original instance.
Mr.. RockwelPs argument that the
state board can not change the assess
ment, therefore, does not and can not
relieve him, as a member of the tax
commission, of his share in the respon-
sibility for the absurdly low valuation
at which railroad property has been
assessed repeatedly since the tax com
mission was created. Not only has the
tax commission, having the power to
do so, failed to make an adequate
assessment Of railroad property as com
pared with other property, but the state
board of equalization has invariably,
since Mr.. Rockwell has been member
of it, reduced railroad values for the
purpose of apportioning state taxes to
the several counties, and has done so,
not on the petition of the counties thus
favored, but on the petition of the rail-
road companies.

A party Of five young men from
Leavenworth made a raid on Mr.. Allies
melon patch north of town last Satur-
day evening, between nine and ten
o'clock. Not being satisfied with what
they could eat and carry away, they
tramped over the vines, pulled and
left in the patch about twenty green
melons. After eating their fill they
started for town, each with a melon in
his arms. When near the Kincherf
place they were hailed, became fright
ened, dropped the melons and ran.
One of the party was recognized. He
should go to a shoemaker and get his
shoeheel Strengthened. Mr.. Allies states
that he has moved his camp to the
melon patch. At night he keeps one
eye open, has winchester repeating
shotgun loaded with buckshot, laying
across his bed, and has laid out a
graveyard in a corner of the orchard,
where he spends half the night with
his shotgun in hand waiting for tenants
for this new cemetery. II the boys
don't wish to occupy a lot there per
manently they had better give this
melon patch a wide berth in future.

Edward Northrup left at this Office
the past week some cucumbers that
were raised on his ranch on the head
of the Chumstick. He says from %
hills he will sell over 5000 worth Of
cucumbers. He has alrady sold over
500 worth and estimates that he will
for the balance of the season get more
than as many more, so that should the
price be lower he will reach his es"
innate. This is one crop that never
seems to be overstocked or drug on
the market. In the early spring they
sell at retail for Is cents each, and
rarely ever get below S cent each.
This could be made one of the most
profitable OF crop if properly attended
to. One acre of cucumbers has been
made to yield the owner over $1,000
in one season. When it is taken into
account that unlike other crops cucm-
bers can be raised with very little ex-
pense. They require very little work
or attention. The most important
thing is to have suitable location.
Deep, rich soil, with sub-irrigation is
said to be the best, and to get into
the early market sunny slope free
from frost. The cucumbers above
spoken of were grown on the land
which Mr. Northrup wants to sell very
cheap on account of other business
engagements. If not sold in a short
time he will take it off the market and
arrange with some reliable man to plant
five acres in cucumberS early nex'
spring.
