The features of the depression

The prices of wool continue weak
and sales small. While cotton mills

IMPORTANT TO ASSESSORS.
The Supreme Court Decides Regard
ing Poll Tax Percentages.


A decision was rendered by the Supreme
Court yesterday in the case of the County
of San Luis Obispo against j. NJ. Felts
ct al. which involves quite an interesting
point for County Assessors.
In this action the county sued the AS
SCISSOR and his bondsmen 10 recover the
amount OF certain percentages of personal
property taxes and of State road and poll
taxes claimed ana withheld by him as legal
compensation for making cOilectI"nS.
There were three counts: First, $3.50
claimed as per cent on proi erty tax;
second, $3.50 claimed as 10 per cent on STATE
poll tax; third, 1910 claimed as 10 per cent
on road poll tax, In the first count the
Superior Conrt gave Judgment for the de-
fendant, but in the ether Two Judgment for
the plaintiff was rendered, and an appeal
was taken.
The defendants claim was under the
provisions of the Political Code and county
government law, which authorize AS
SCISSORS t. retain as their mpensation 10
per ceuL of all poll taxes received by them.
The respondents cOutended that as to
State poll taxes all these provisions are In
conflict with the mandate of tle constitu-
tlOn, wbicu appropriates that tax eXcIu-
slvely to support the public schools, aud
with respect to road poll:tax the contention
was made that there IS no law IN existence
by which the Assessor Is allowed a psr-
ceniage for collecting road poll tax. If
Assessors were allowed TO 10 so, they
maintained, such action would be con-
trary TO the inhibition of the cOnstituti N
against any increase of the compensation
OF public officials after their election
In passing upon the merits of these con-
tent Ons the Supreme Court says that the
Superior Court erred in judgment in the
matter Of State poll taxes and the road
poll taxeS-tbat is the taxes collected un-
der the law aud not assessed by virtue OF
the county ordinances passed subsequent
to Fells' election. Section 1852 of The Po-
lItical Code authorizes the Supervisors of
counties 10 levy poll taxes not to exceed
SIS. and by the same law the road-overseer,
when charged With the duty of making
cOlleci ms, is allowed 10 per cent of the
amount. BY an amendment to this law in
January, 1898, the duty of collecting these
taxes devolves upon the Assessors, and so
there is no increase in their Compensation
within the sense of the constitution 10 :
low them for these collections the preyi-
vlously estimated percentage for the col
lection of road loll taxes. The part of
the Judgment appealed from was. there

the crime of which he is accused the fact
is known only to the judges A relative of

PUPILS IN CRIME.
Children Caught Looting

They Worked by DayIight-Two of
the Boys Who Looted the Amer

Judge Campbel's great heart melted
within him one day about two months ago
when four dirty. ragged, blubbering
urchins were arragned in his court for
burglary. They had stolen property val
ued al $500 from the baggage-room of the
American Exchange Hotel on SansOme
street, and had confessed that they had
committed the theft 10 obtain the price of
seats at a theater The Judge thought
that the boys were too young 20 send to
a reform school. and their parents prom
ised to send them TO the country, where
the little buds Of humanity might bloom
with the flowers.
His Honor delivered his stock lecture to
the boys and they went to the country.
How long they stayed is unknown, but
two of them, Frspk Nigro. aged 13, and
Joseph Baccigalupi, aged II. are in their
old cell at The old City Prison, and the
police are lnoking for third. The buds
OF humanity are again charged with bur-
glary, but it is hardly possible that his
Honor will again send them 10 the conn-
Try unless it be to that part of it included
by the walls Of the Whittier School.
The boys were captured while looting a
vacant house at 1913 TAYLOR street owned
by a Mrs. Fay, who lives opposite. They
had cut away all the lead pipe in the build
ing and thrown most Of il Int a vacant
lot, whence they proposed to move il after
nightfall tol junkshop at the corner of
stockton and jackson streets. They were
busily engaged in removing a sheet of zinc
from a wal in the basement Monday alter
noon when the occupant of an adjoining
house heard them and asked Mrs. Fay If
she had employed plumbers She bad
done nothing OF the kind. Her daughter
ran to the vacant building and brushing
the dust from basement WINDOW looked
In and saw ths boys at work.
Policeman Clark was summoned and
managed to capture Baccigalupi and
Nigrn. The third boy. who ESCAPED, is be-
lieved to be Baccigslupi's brother. An-
other house in tile neghbOrhOod was looted

tablishment If a dairy school for the edu-
cation of-the rising generation. Butter

and they should lend their assistance to
