Tho Corporation's Cry. "In conclusion, wo dcslro to answer In ndvnnco any objection that may be argod by tho officers and employes of iho corporations now under considera tion. Wo oxpoct that it will bo ve- bomently assorted throughout tho pub lic press that this class of proporty, iz.: Railroads, telegraph, tolophone, snd express lines, aro being unjustly treated, and moro highly assessed than Dthor proporty owners, and wo shall bear it stated that tho stockholders in theso corporations infrequently re- iceive any dividend, and then only of a email amount. Here and now we stato Fan answer that cannot bo controvert ed." "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 oads and bridges without paying for hem.

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.
