"The intorestate commerce commis
sion, in its last report, pu$ the capital
ization of all railroads in this coun
try on Juno 30, 1003, at twelvo and
one half billions. This includes stock,
common and preferred, and funded in
debtedness. Tho commercial value of
the same was found to be-only cloven
nnd one-fourth billions. Tho differ-
lenco between theso amounts is a bil
lion and a quarter, and that only rep
resents water. In every state except
Connecticut railroads aro assessed for
less than their commercial value. Even
jla Kansas, railroads are assessed less
than 10 per cent of their commercial
lvalue, wbilo Iowa places an nssess-
acnt at 15 per cent, but in Illinois
the assessment is about 64 per cent,
and in Michigan 70 per cent
Tax on Gross Earnings.
"trnder tho law of Oregon as it now
pxists, all property is required to be
assessed at its actual value. If this
ivero done, as the law clearly intends,
Jhe ordinary taxpayer would not be re
quired, as he now is, to pay an undue
proportion of tho public taxes. If all
the property wero assessed as tho law
fiow requires it should be, it goes
rlthout saying that tho rate of taxa-
ion would bo very small indeed, and
ho development of tho stata mater!-
illy increased. Wo eannot havo good

ay be without iho taxpayers provid

Assessment Law Recommended.
"After considering all tile features
of the situation peculiar to this state,
your committeo has como to the con
clusion that a new law should be en
acted governing the assessment of
what may bo termed properties ex
tending across the stato or across one
or moro counties. Tho committeo has
not beon able to socure all tho data re
quired to draft a bill in statutory lan
guage, but it should embody the fol
lowing provisiens:
"1. That railroads should be as
sessed at a fixed rate per mile, based
upon earnings nnd population, the mla
iuiura rate to bo uniform for the en
tire length of any one property, and
telegraph, telephone and express com
panies should be assessed upon their
gross earnings.
"2. This state obould follow the
custom of other states in classifying
railroads as first, second, third, or
fourth class, with a corresponding val
ufction fixed by law for each elass, and
not subject to tho caprice of local as
sessment officials. " "
"3. First class railways should be
assessed their entire length, at a min
imum value of at least (10,000 per
