The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1910-10-28

In view of the misconception OF the
method of the state tax commission in
assessing railroad property, Commits
sioner Rockwell makes the following
explanation: Our method of deter
mining the assessment upon railroad
in any given county is by holding
hearings and making thoro investi-
cation by which we ascertain the actual
value of the various classes of general
property in that county. By compar-
ing this with the assessed value fixed
by the county assessor, we determine
at what percentage of the true value
the property in that county is being as
sessed by him. We then assess the
operating property of each railroad in
the particular county at a corresponding
percentage of its true value as deter
mined after exhaustive hearings, the
proportion of the total main line OF the
state lying within given county being
allotted to that county. Incorporating
property is still assessed by the assess
ors. Such a determination was made
as to each county in the state, hearings
being held in all.
"Our work has systematized taxa
alton, and one county can no longer
throw a part of its fair burden upon
other counties. We determine the
general average or ratio for the state,
and then equalize the various counties
at this, bringing the counties below it
up to it and those above it down, so
that each pays its just and equitable
proportion of the states taxes"

With general interest in the fall cam
paign and the election Of Nov. 8 slight
compared with past political campaigns,
the women who are working for their
equal suffrage amendment are making
themselves more prominent than would
otherwise be possible, and woman S
suffrage will be one of the most in
teresting issues of the election. The
suffrage amendment will be the first one
on the official ballots, and large vote
on the question is expected, although
many men who originally opposed the
suffrage have been induced to com
promise by promising not to vote either
for or against it. The women who are
working for the right to vote are dis
appointed because the official ballot
will not say anything about woman
suffrage. The voter will simply mark
his ballot for or against "the amend
ment to article = OF the constitution
relating to the qualification of voters"
The suffragists will have workers at
the polls to pass out literature inform
ing the voters that the amendment to
article 6 is the equal suffrage amend

Inside of the next five years there
will be seven Portland cement plants
operating in the northwest, according
to the Pacific Engineer and builder.
There will be three in Washington, one
in Oregon, one in Idaho, one in Mon
tana and one in British Columbia. Of
these, four are now producing. Five
years ago there was but one Portland
cement plant in the same territory,
that on Vancouver Island. The fact
that there are now four is guarantee
of the continued structural develop
ment turnout the greater northwest.

That IS per cent. more homeseekers
have been brought into the Northwest
between Sept. IS and Oct. IS, during
which period the railroads have main
tanned colonist rates, than during the
same length of time last spring when
rates were in effect, is the statement of
w. D. Skinner, general freight and
passenger agent of the Oregon & Wash
ington railroad. Mr.. Skinner made
this statement from the experience of
his own road, and it is thought to be a
conservative estimate for the entire
northwest. The fall colonist rates have
proven a decided success, and many
acres of good land will be put in shape
for raising crops next season by the
newcomers of the present months.

when the ballots are counted this fall,
Judge M. F. Gose, of Pomeroy is run
ming for the shortest term OF any of the
Judges. -Four judges will be named
for six year terms, while Gose is named
for the four year term. Judge Gose,
known to the farmers of the state as
their friend because he himself oper-
ates one of the most successful farms
in the big wheat country, was the
appointee of the late Governor Cos
grove, being one of the few personal
friends whom the beloved Governor
had an opportunity to place in office
during the few months that he lived
after taking the executive chair. Judge
Gose was named to serve the six-year
term left open by the failure of Milo
Root to qualify after the Root-Gordon
scandal. Governor Cosgrove had the
utmost confidence in his friend Gose,
a man almost unknown to politics, but
a lawyer and farmer who had succeeded
in both walks of life. Cosgrove felt
that Gose was just the man 10 abso-

The state bureau Of inspection is
considering making a recommendation
to the legislature that the commission
form of government be adopted by the
smaller counties of the state. 1t is be-
lieved by this plan that a material say

and that it will do away with the pres
ent system of several heads, and the
employees of some of the departments
being idle much of the time, by the
adoption of a system whereby work can
be interchanged and all kept busy.
