The house was In a turmoil most of
yesterday morning In consideration Of
the Wallace amendments. They were f.
nally adopted by a vote of 81 to 46.
Mr.. Jacobson offered an amendment
leveled at the tax dodgef.

the man who refuses or neglects to list
or who refuses to. swear to the list he
makes. The assessor Is instructed to
make note OF these cases on his return
to the county auditor, who is then to
add so per cent to the assessment as a
penalty. This, it IS figured. will bring
the taxpayer to time. and result in his
swearing to statement before the coun-
ty board In order to get the penalty
omitted. r. q ~ @"# p.
