Attorney General Oren Gives
Out an Important Opinion to
State Equalizing Board.
ON ACTUAL CASH VALUES.
Board Has the Power to Dis
regard Figures OF the Tax
Commission.

Attorney General Oren Wednes.
day made most important con-
tribution to the literature bearing
on the powers and duties of the
state board OF equalization 10 the
matter of equalizing the valuations
of the various counties of the state.
He holds that anything short Of an
equalization on the basis OF cash
valuations would be unconstitutional,
the board having no authority to
depart from what they believe to be
actual cash values.
1t may be said that the board has
it within its power to disregard the
figures OF the tax commission and
to accept the assessed valuation of
the state as the actual cash value,
proceeding upon the presumption
that assessing officers have COM
piled with the constitution, and
assessed property as they have
sworn to do.
The state board of equalization
will meet again next Monday, the
10Th.

New Garnishment Law.

The Nevins garnishment law,
about which there has been so much
discussion, went into effect Wednes-
day. 1t makes sweeping changes from
former procedure in this branch of
the law and enables the creditor to
reach men who draw wages weekly,
from Sl2 to $40, who under the for
mer law could not be touched. The
following pointers concerning the
law will prove valuable to the bust
ness men generally, as they
were prepared by a gentleman
who makes this branch of practice
speciality:
When the defender is householder,
he shall have exempt 80 per cent of
any amount his due from the gar
nishee defendant, but in no case
shall more than $50 of such indebted
ness be exempt, and ip all cases at
least SO shall be exempt.
The present law is the only one Of
several proposed that has proved
satisfactory to the state legislature.
Under the old law, passed about
fifty years ago when manufacturing
interests were comparatively un-
known in the state and men were
paid by the month, there was ex-
emption of $25. 1t was hard to
wean people from their faith in the
excellence of the old law, but about
eight years ago the agitation was
started and it is likely to prove a
beneficial change.
Under the old law II a debtor was
earning $25 or less a week there
was no way to reach him. Now il
a debtor is earning $l2 week his
exemption is $500 or $40 goes
4 toward payment OF costs. If he il
garnisheed a second week and
money is paid into court there is q
margin of s. cents for the creditor
supposing the garnishee defendan,
pays money into court as they
usually do.
The beneficial effect Of the law is
that when creditor knows tina
this amount Of, say $12, can b
reached by proceedings he would b,
foolish to allow $l.75 to be paid GU
in costs when by making arrange
ments with his creditors to settl
the bill he could have ~. 40 to appl,
on the debt. The $1.75 paid 70
costs he does not receive credit TO
on account OF the bill.
