The Journal lat week took occhkIoii
to call a'teutloii to the reduced valu
ation iu the city of Uolumhu under

a htrito part of that reduction wamlue
to the failure of owuer of mortuauca
to lint them according to law.
Ono of the leading loan micnta iu
the city wit prompted by the article
to call our attention to a Jfnot which
it will be of interest to taxpayer to
conaidot. He aaitl, "Mont of our mor
tgage are owued by nou-reaideut,
who are uot liable to taxation in thia
atate. Many of them however,aro own
ed by well-to-do farmera and wldowa
who place their mouey with ua to be
loand on real citato. If we aie foroed
aa the Journal anggeata we ahould be
to roveal the uauica of those parties
thoy will place their money in the
bauka where it ia eaay for thorn to hide
It from the alienor or thoy will loan
it nut on personal notes wbcro it ia
equally easy for the in to hide It Now
if loan agenta are forced to give the
natnea of thu owners of mortgages
recorded bv them the banks ahould bo
forced to give the names of their do
posltora elae the loan brokera will be
driven nut of Ihia class of buaiuesaa to
the profit of the hankers and tho ffionev
now repreaented by mortgages will
escape taxation Just tho same as it
does now 1 have never tried to dodge
it ainglo penny of taxation on propetty
which I own and should not hesitate
to give the names of the mortgages re
corded in my name provided bonkera
and private individuals are placed on
the name bails." There ia food for
thought in thla statement. If it la
true that the clnra of citizens who
have money to loan nro an dishonest
anil ao degraded morally that they are
determined to ttodKO their proportion
nte share of tnxatlon in aplte of all the
inwa of God nr man ; and if their de
termination la lixetl to such an extent
that thov will boycot tho honest loan
broker who haa been accustomed to
making legitimate loans for them Just
beirauwe tin helps the assessor to col
lect from tl.eni what the law
commands and what every decent citi
zen who enjoy the protection of our
laws ahould be glad to pay, thon it ia
serlelnly time for nil good citizens
to rise up in indignation and find out
whether there Im not aome way of
reaching them.
If dishoneat individuals are able un
der tho present law to hide their money
in bauka or in iioraonal loans on prom
ifaory notea then let ua change tho
law.
Jf we must roaurt to the nublicatiou
of the uompleto aasesament record of
every property owner in order to get
the evidence to defeat the tax-dodgers
then let ua come to it aonn before
our new law aluka to the same level
of uselesinaia and injustice occupied
by our old revenue law.
The Journal haa no attack to make
on thu honest loan broker. He haa
n legitimate fleltt and haa done much
to regulate interest rates to the benefit
of tho public. Hut we do atnnd ready
in the interest of the honest constitu
ency which we servo to strike the hnr
Heat blows it ia possible by meana of
publicity to strike againat every cow

his bank account ia large or small;
whether he woar ait iraiwrted dress

he votes a republican or a demooratio

We reieat that we are with Aaaeaaor

FORMER SECRETARY ON STAND
Harry Robertson Tells of Expediting
of Krlbs Claim Attorneys for De
fense Unable to Shake His Testl
mony Government Closes Its Case,
Portland, Ore, Juno 2".- Harry Rob
ertson, United States Senator John
It. Mitchell's former prlvatu Rucrc
tary, was tho prlnctpul witness for tho
prosecution in tho trial of Sonator
Mitchell. Hobcrtuuu told fully, with
out rcHorvutlon, of his connection
with Mitchell at Washington, ot the
lattcr'a fear ot prosecution for hia
work before tho departments nnd ot
Mitchell's n when Ilobuitson ex
pressed to IiIh employer tho bullet Hint
denial waa useless, no several knew
of tho connection of the firm of Mitch
ell A Tanner with thu work of get
ting the Krlbs claims expedited and
tho likelihood that tho whole story
would come out.
Upon being fiubpoonncd to uppenr
before tho grand Jury, thu witness
said ho went to Senator Mitchell and
showed htm the summons, ntklng tho
senator whot ho ronld bo wanted in
Portland for. Tho senator said it was
to testify about tho accounts of tho
law Arm ot Mitchell ft Tanner, and
told him thut Tanner and his son were
threatened with indictment. Mitchell
told Hobcrtson that when he reuched
Portland ho should ko to Tanner and
look at the pmtncrshlp iiKicement
and Tanner would tell him how to
testify. The senator had cursed thft
prosecution nnd had said an) thing
wnn jtutllluhlc In defying tho Kovern
ment. On Ittilii-rtsouV return to Wash
lngtiu, utt'-r appearing before the
grand Jury, Senator Mitchell, tho wit
ness ml.!, shook hia fist In Hubert
sou's face nud swore at him for his
actions In Portland, and Robertson
thereupon rodi-ned his position. In
continuing, the witness said Mitchell
finally acknowledged that ho had
known Krlhs and remembered the
partnership agreement with its damag
ing clause, lie cried nnd swore and
said Hint he ought not to be prose
cuted lor the matter, oh lie hud only
iccelvcd a few sndl checks for what
ho hail done. Tt .,
The evidence gY&my Robertson
was direct. lie Identified letters glvon
by Mitchell at Waanlorip-tB&B de
livered to Tanner, but whjcr?' woro
given to Prosecuting Attorney Henqy
and thn grand Jurykeojlfg nothing
back, but telling tothoBjWt.of hie
recollection the plans maf b? Mitch
ell ami Tanner to cvaderoaecutlon
and how these ncheinerguno to
naught. Tho former bookkeeper of
the firm of Mitchell ft Tanner and
later secretary of tho senator sup
ported strongly with his testimony tho
allegations of tho Indictment upon
which Mitchell Is being tried.
During tho recital of Robertson's
testimony, Senator Mitchell showed
every evidence of mental agony.' He
writhed In hU chair and protested
with hia attorneys for allowing tho in
troduction ot tho evidence.
Robertson underwent n severe cross
examination, but the defensn could not
hako his testimony. Tho government
then closed He case.
The defense then opened Its en.io,
callfng six witnesses, all of whom
testified to having received assistance
from thn defendant boforo the various
departments, In each case of which
tho senator had refused compensation.
It Is tho opinion that Scnntor Mitchell
will tako tho stand in hia own bchr.lf.
