MUST PAY TAXES ON
INSTALLMENT PLAN GOODS
Judge Kelly Settles Important Case in
Assessors Favor.

Judge Kelly, in the district court.
has filed a decision in the delinuuent
tax case of the National Cash Register
company, in which he holds that the
company can be held for taxes on all
machines sold on the installment plan.
until the payments are made in full.
The decision is considered an impor-
tant one, in that it establishes a pre-
cedent for the state, in cases of this
nature.
The National Cash Register COM
pany, as objectors, sued against a.
valuation of $53,795, levied by
the comfy assessor, alleging that it
was exhorbitant and out of all pro-
portion. They further alleged that the
assessor had figured in the valuation,
large amount for machines sold by
them to patrons, on the ground that
they were the property of the sellers
until payments had been made in full.
The case was heard during the June
term of court.
In the order the court reduces the
assessment returned by the county as
SCISSOR, from $53,795 to $6,1325O, which
is in favor of the company, but taken
as whole the verdict is against them
as it compels them to pay tax on per-
sonal property for which they have not
received full pay from their custom
erS.

STATE rs IN NEED OF
NEW PENITENTIARY
Legislature Is Likely to Vote Money to
Buy Large Farm for New
Prison.

The next legislature will, without
doubt, appropriate money to build a
new state prison. Warden Wolfer and
the board of control say that it is
needed, and they favor the introduc-
ton of a bill to that effect next winter.
The present prison is entirely out of
date, and is not at all adequate to the
demands made upon it. The prison
population is increasing, and the facil-
1ties-at the prison are the same from
year to year. Warden Wolfer favors
the purchase of a large farm near
saltwater and the erection of an ad-
ditional@ building on it. One of the dis
advantages of the present prison is the
fact that it has no. farm. With a nice
farm in connection with the prison.
many of the prisoners could have
much-needed outdoor exercise, and
they could raise enough produce on
the farm to supply all the needs of the
institution, and it would thereby be
an economical investment for the state.
as the farm would pay for itself besides
furnishing better prison facilities and
more exercise for the prisoners.

CHURCH MEMBERS OPPOSE
OPENING OF NEW SALOON
Pacific Congregational People Up in
Arms Against h. j. LeCIair.

Members of the Pacific Congrega-
tional church, on Mississippi street,
have entered vigorous protest
against a saloon opened up on We'd
nesday last at 749 Mississippi street,
one block from the church, by H. j.
LIE Clair. LIE Clair opened his saloon
Immediately after filing his application
for a license, and did not wait for the
granting of the license. A number of
the church members visited License In
spector Jessrang, who told them that
if generally signed protest was pre-
sented the saloon would be closed un-
til the council had acted on the license.
This was done, but the saloon, they
say, is still running. The church
adopted the following protest:
1.-THE location of a saloon at this cor
ner in such close proximity to our
church building is direct menace to
our work and the peace and good NOR
ais of the neighborhood, which we, as
a body, are seeking to preserve and
uplift; therefore, be it
Resolved, That we, members of the
Pacific church and congregation, as
sembled publicly, declare our protest
against the opening or continuance of
saloon at the above named corner.
and respectfully petition the honorable
council of our city to deny the appli-
cation in the interest of our peace and
welfare"
