MUST PAY $1,000
MORE STATE TAX
REINFORCEMENT BY EQUAL.
zATIoN BOARD RAISES WAL
LoWA'S SHARE.

Under the new emergency tax Law
Tor the reapportionment of the
state revenue among the various
counties, Wallowas share is raised
$1,000, and this county will have tc
send 10.327.5O to Salem.
The old law by which the counties
paid state tax in proportion to the
amounts expended by the various
counties for county purposes, except
roads, bridges and new buildings, was
ed unconstitutional by the
Supreme court, and the legislature
passed the emergency law by which
] a special equalization board went
over the assessments made by the
county assessors, equalized them as
best 1t could, and reapportioned the
state tax according to this equalized
assessment. 1t called in the assess
ors from all over the state and the
assessment for some counties was
doubled and treblei while others
were reduced. The result is be-
lleved to be as fair and equitable
as was possible to secure on short
notice. This equalized assessment is
effective only for state taxation and
does not change the valuations for
county taxation.
As far as Walloxa is concerned we
have no great kick coming. Union
which was already paying over $685.
900 State tax is raised to $29, ,707 80,
or nearly three times that of this
county This probably is about
fair proportion.
The equalized assessment of this
county is $4.S44SS5, a decrease of
$2,3S2,OO0, in round numbers, from
che county assessors figures. Unions
vas raised from $7,1O9,S35 to $13,-
3S6,521. Bakers county assessment
s@as raised one-half by the state
,ard, Benton's doubled, Columbia's
more than cut in two, Harneys treb-
"a. and Hood Rivers doubled.
The proper inference is that where
The assessments were reduced the
county assessors had been trying to
follow the law, and where they were
raised by the state board, the coun-
ty assessors had been evading the
law. The board dill not try to bring
them all up to full valuation but
only tried to equalize, bringing the
high ones down and the low ones up
to common mem.

GOOD NEWS
(St. Thomas Bulletin)

(St. Thomas BodIetn)
We are able, on good authority, to give
our readers what we consider a very interest
ing piece Of news, namely, that the Home
Government has approved the application
of the ST. Thomas Harbour Board f0r Il lORI
of 500 900 to be used for dredging the
Harbour. : The amount has been entered
ON the State Budget 1908-O9 and will pay
4 per cent. pa The preliminary soundinga
of the harbour have already been taken in
anticipation Of the granting of the loan,
and the plan is to enlarge the anchorage
area by dredging to Il depth of 80 feet
thus accommodating vessels Of the heaviest
draught.
The importance Of this financial arrange
meut and it's bearing upon the material in
]terests of the Municipality cannot be over
estimated, If ever a step was made in the
right direction for the islands welfare it is
this, since it aims at bettering our main
we might say our only means of existence.
At the present time when, in view Of the
opening Of the Panama Canal, other places
