Atkinson, of Green Bluffs.

Hill, of Rogue River.
The box awards were not made last
night but the judges were working on
them at 10 o'clock this morning.
There was a very indignant lot OF
Wenatchee people in Spokane last
might when it was learned that a last
years Wenatchee exhibitor at the Ma
tional Apple show, but who refused
this year to make any exhibit at all,
had gone to the judges and belittled
the commercial club exhibit. 1t is
said that he told the judges that the
apples were water cored and tried to
point out other defects. It is said
that the man came pretty nearly be-
ing mobbed by the Wenatchee people
and there is standing reward of $40
offered for anyone who will give him
a good 'threshing.

ABOUT LAND ASSESSMENTS
State Auditor Gordon Says Land AS
sessments are Higher than ANY
Other Glass Of Property
Except Banking.

The following interview has been I.
given out by State Auditor Gordon:
A great amount OF talk has been (

of Equalization, | have received .
many letters from st. Louis and .
other parts of the State, suggesting .
and requesting that | should vote to /
raise the valuation of the farm lands |
of the State sufficiently to bring in /
to the State treasury enough revenue |
to adequately meet the growing de-
mands of the different state offices |
and state institutions.
admit that there is ground for
apprehension that the State will be /,
unable IL meet all demands made on |
its treasury, under our present sys- |
tenn aud mode of raising revenue.
The idea has been spread abroad /
throughout the State for number
Of years that all property other than
farm lands has been assessed ut a ,
very high rate of valuation, and
farm lands mt very low rate of
valuation. ! too believed that this
was the case until came into the
office of Auditor of State. Since
taking charge Of this office, have
( spent quite little time invcstigat-
/ ING extensively the sources Of Tn"
! States revenue, and from deduc-
, tions which show below, ] am con-
WINGED that the farmers land Is AS
sessed at higher rate Of valuation
than any other class of property,
excepting bankers, who pay upon
their capital stock and surplus,
which is assessed ut - per cent of
its true value.
From statements made to the
State Senate of Missouri. this year
of 1909, hy the individual assessors
of each county, q copy of which !
have before me, | find that the real
estate Of the State is assessed at an
average Of 80 per cent of its actual
cash value.
want to give below to the people
OF the State some figures showing
what per cent of money, notes and
bonds uf the State Is assessed, as
compared to their actual cash
value.
find that in September, 1905, there
was on deposit in the various banks
. of the State, Sjl2 $50 800; that the
amount Of money, notes aud bonds
returned by the assessors Of the
State for taxable purposes, for tie
year lgO-, was SSl,GlS,j S2. This last
amount was assessed at an average
, of G6 per cent, which shows the
amount of money, notes and bonds
, ON which taxes can he collected fuG
- 1909 This amounts to the paltry
sum of sol, Jos, 2G4 II, which is only
, Hop per cent of the actual cash
value OF the money, notes and bonds
of the State, while on real estate
, the assessed valuation is 20 per cent
OF its real or cash value.
wish to say 10 my friends Owe
, the State who have talked with n,
about raising real estate to its actual
= cash value, that | am unaltcrahll
, opposed to doing so, until some plan
. X inanguratcd whereby the pcopl,

will be made to pay taxes on it IN
some form or other. II that can b,
done, there will be no cause fol
