AGAINST THE EAST

As announced in the Journal of Sat
urday, Governor West this morning
made public his quarantine proclma-
ton prohibiting the entrance into Ore.
gon of any animals from the thirteen
eastern and middle western states un.
der federal quarantine as a protection
against the introduction of the dread

alent among the livestock of those
states.
The proclamation is issued upon the
Recommendation of the state livestock

and all cattle, sheep, other ruminants
and swine coming from any of the thir
teen states heretofore named and all
other states where the malady is now
or may hereafter become prevalent,

between points in this state is prohib-
tied, unless inspection has first been
made and permission given by the pro.
per state or federal authorities.

RAILROAD PROSPECTS
AT SUBLNNTTY

According to special invitation of the
Sublimity Commercial Club, q number
of members Of the Stayton Develop.
ment League and other citizens inter.
ested went TO Sublimity Tuesday night
OF this week to attenl the regular
monthly meeting of the Sublimity body.
The talk was mainly on the line of
how to induce the Willamette Southern,
an electric line BODYBUILDING into Mt.
Angel, to come on south and pass
through Sublimity AMI Stayton.
President W. II. Downing Of the
Sublimity Club stated that the grade
was already as far as Mt. Angel, and
that cars would be running that far by
Christmas.
Every person in the house was called
upon to give their views, and all were
unanimous in thinking that some in
dueement should be offered the new
line to extend at least as far as Stay
ton.
j. 7. Hunt thought that the officials
Of the company now building undoubt.
edfy had some definite object in view
and that while that object would not
be departed from TO any great extent,
still il would do no harm to send a
committee to interview them.
Prof. Gauntt Of Stayton was of the
opinion that the people could get al
most anything they want if they only
wanted it hard enough.
Attorney Heltsel Of this city spoke
at some length, and gave some good
advice along the line of approaching
the officials of corporation.
]. T. Kearns, the old wheelhorse Of
the Stayt0n. to Anywhere Railroad,
said that he Immediately sat up and
took notice when anyone said Grail
road" in their sleep, He spoke with
his usual fluency and gave very SEN
sible talk on rights-of- way. and other
details of the actual beginning of rail
road.
While it is quite possible that moth
ing may come Of the new prospect,
vet it behooves us to not overlook any
bets along this line.
A good time was had by all present
and before the meeting adjourned a
committee was appointed to investigate
the possibilities of the willamette
Southern. About dozen were present
from Stayton.--Stayton Mail.

ASSESSORS OBJECT
TO THE VALUATIONS
Claim They Are Much Lower Than Last
Year and Out Of Proportion with
Taxes on Property in General.

Today 3 session Of the state tax COM
mission is being taken up by the asses.
sOrs Of several Of the counties of the
Willamette Valley who are protesting
againt the tentative ratios adopted by
the commission and published as a
basis for the apportionment Of tho valu.
ations Of public service corporations for
taxation throughout the several eoun.
ties Of the state. Those who appeared
before the commission this morning and
voiced vigorous protests against the
ratios adopted for their respective coun-
ties were: Henry G. Reed, of Multi.
nOmah county, Il. l.. Fisher of Linn,
9. W. Biakesley, of Columbia, Ben +.
West, Of Marion
For Linn county the ratio, as tenta.
lively adopted by the tax commission
for the year 1914, was 81 per cent as
against a 65 per cent ratio for 1918;
for Marion county this years ratio Is
90 per cent as compared Co GO per cent
a year ago. for Columbia county this
years ratio is T3 per cent as compared
to rs per cent last year and for Multi.
n0mah county this years ratio has been
temporarily fixed at 81 per cent as
against so per cent last year All Of
the assessors represented that the ratios
were much lower than those in force in
their respective copnties, from about
10 to 25 per cent and all are asking for
an increase.
Assessor West for Marion county,
maintains that the ratio Of assessment
as TO real property valuations in Marion
county are as high as that in force In
any other county of the state, and
much higher than in some of them, and
that TO fix Marion county's ratio al
60 por cent Of The real valuation OF
public service corporation properties
would work an injustice upon the other
taxpayers Of the county.
Tax agents Of'several Of the railroads
and other public service corporations
have appeared before the commission
and protested against the high valua.
tions Of their respective properties for
taxation purposes and asked for either
reduction In their valuation or a re.
duetion Ia county ratios, which would
amount 20 the same thing anl operatc
10 q reduction Of their taxes In either
event Some OF The railroad agents
submitted figures TO show that ratios

manded that the railroads be given the
same consideration as other private
property interests in the matter Of
valuations and assessments.
