The state Board Of Equaiisation.

OIyxPIA, Sept. Especial. IA defect
discovered in the revenue law affecting
the beard of equalization, which meets
next Monday. has been referred to the at

was probably made in the bill when en-

dering doubtful the authority of the state
board of equalization. The law as per-
wr,ed by the error permits the tar levy to
be made on the values as equalized by the
county board. to some extent rendering
useless the work of the state board. How
serious this error may prove is question.
Under a rigid construction there is no
doubt much litigation wonld result. but
several state officers are disposed to treat
the matter as OF little importance. or rather
Give the impression that the error is easily
rernedied and will not materially affect the
work of the state board or in any way Inn
