RAILROAD TAXES COLLECTIBLE.

A decision handed down last Thursday
in the Federal court By Judge Hanford,
in the case of n. p. Ry. vs.. Lewis county,
sustains County Attorney Abel's conten-
ton that unpatented lands in the railroad
company's original grant are taxable.
The part OF the decision relating thereto
is as follows:
AT the time OF giving said opinion
believed and ruled that the lands claimed
bv the railroad company as part OF its
land grant which had not been patented
prior to the time OF making the annual
assessment upon which the tax was levied
were not subject to taxation by the state.
This question was eliminated from the
case By Il decision OF the supreme court
Of the United States aud the circuit court
oi appeals for the Ninth circuit, holding
that the lands were suhject to taxation.
The commissioners can therefore ie-
srind their action granting SO per cent
reduction in the taxes on these lands
with the certainty that no court will now
compel the acceptance oi less than the
full amount Of these taxes.
We still believe the full amount OF these
taxes can he collected. as well as the full
amount assessed against lands in the in
demnity strip ior years AFTER acceptance
by the government OF the company's Sc
leotions. Upon this latter point an
ANNOYING error last week made us say
PRIOR instead OF AFTER, although the
context showed to the careful reader what
was really meant. In view oi the de
cision quoted Chehalis county can still
secure the full amount OF taxes due from
the railroad company ii her officials but
remain firm.

Pcrils Of a Joke In Germany.

This story illustrates the perlls OF
practical joking in Germany: Eighteen
months ago four gentlemen Of leisure
from the Rhine country went to the kir.
mess in Rullay. They rode about with
O cabby and drank wine until they were
overtaken by the conditions Of mind
and body which accompany these per.
formances at German festivals. Then
they began to dispute with the cabmau
as to the weight of his horse and cab.
Eventually they offered him 80 pfen-
nigs-or about 10 cents-a pound for the
whole equipage. He accepted the offer.
The horse and cab went on the scales
and registered 5000 pounds. The whole
outfit was worth about $75, SO the cab
man fastened to surrender it and de.
mand his ~ cents pound, or $500 in
all. The four gentlemen of leisure then
protested that it was all Il mistake, a
joke, in fact, and they couldn't think Of
paying $500 for $15 equipage. They
went away, but the cabman sent horse
and cab after them by express c. O. D.
When the four gentlemen Of leisure
refused to follow the practical part OF
the joke farther, the cabman sued them.
de carried Oh the case from court to
court, i'll response to their appeals from
each successive decision i'll his favor, and
two weeks ago obtained the final judg-
ment in his favor from the high court Of
justice in Coblenz. The costs meantime
had risen to $40, so the four gentlemen
Of leisure We're ordered by the court to
pay 5000, all told That is the total cost
Of the practical joke about the claimants
$15 outfit, excepting the private retain.
ers which, for the defense Of the four
jokers through the steady legal fight Of
a year and a half, are said to amount to
about 5000 more. The Bullay cabman

THOSE Personal TAXES.

The Republicans OF the state are trying
to have a little sport at the expense OF
the fusionists over the failure OF the ex-
enpton clause in the Revenue law, but
az the shoe pinches quite as hard on one
foot as the other the effort is sorry one.
That our constitution iorbids any exemp-
ton from taxation whatever to the indi-
vidual is certainly unfortunate. bu. it is
better to ascertain the right ia the matter
than to continue under an unconstitu-
tional law, even though it does impose
temporary burden upon those who are
least able to bear it,
The ilult les not aiyh the legislature
but with ;hr makers Of the constitution,
who IL elected 10 make provision for an
exemption The remedy lies IN the cleo
ton oi legislature this fall that will
submit an amen ment to the ronsti.u-
ton to the people providing for an ex-
empton, not OF $500 Oh personality, but
OF at least 500, ana 500 more on i'm.
provements, as provided by the last
legislature.
No hope Of relief in this direction is to
be had by returning to Repubicanisr.,
for that is controlled by those we'll able
to pay, but who constantly strive to shirl
their duty toward the government that
protects them. On the other hand this
present hardship should invite the people
to greater exertions toward securing JUS
tice in the matter Of taxation, and while
the work is being done let it be done thor.
oughly 80 that tie poor may lave their
homes practically free f:om taxation.

English Ship Names.

The naming Of ships is one Of the
difficulties that the admiralty overcome
by using the old names over and over
again. To adopt new name into the
navy seriously interferes with the serv.
ice signal books.
The old names are in the code, and
are as convenient for the ships of today
as for those Of Nelson's time. But the
introduction of new name necessitates
nm alteration i'll all the books. That is
why the old names survive generation
after generation. London World.
