Governor VanSant's mes
sage to the legislature asks
for the passage of the tax law
at this session with a few
amendments if necessary.
While this was probably the
>Ibelief of many when the law
was first published. it is quite
evident now that most people
would rather see the neces-
sary constitutional amend
ments passed, and a law as
near perfect as possible SUBJ
mitted to the legislature. The
commission admits that the
proposed law is not what it
should be. There ought to
be some way devised to do
away as much aspossible with
the tax on personal property.
The personal property tax
under any taxing system is an
incentive to perjury. An in
come tax could be substituted.
It is fair tax, and experience
shows that in countries where
It is levied, the results in pro-
ducing revenue are good, and
there is less complaint about
persons escaping taxation.
Some would 60 still further
and their number is increas-
ing-and tax land alone. Land
is tangible, visible. It cannot
be carted from one state to
another. The assessor is sure
to find it the same place. But
while it may not be possible
to make radical changes of
this nature now, it is quite
certain that if the legislature
passes a tax law this winter,
and the constitutional amend
nents are approved by the
people in the fall, another law
will have to:;::>be passed next
winter. There has been too
much patchwork legislation
already in this state, and it
would be best to have a post
ponement of tax measures un-
B til the tax commission can
produce a bill covering the
points they say could not be
considered in the bill as pre-
& sented.'

DEVOTED TO CHESS.
Capt. Clark, Who Took the Oregon
Around the Horn, Is Considered
an Expert Player. -

Capt. Charles E. Clark, who took the
Oregon around the Horn, and is now in
command of the Naval asylum near
Philadelphia, is an enthusiastic chess
player. When he was stationed on the
Pacific coast his favorite shore resort
was the Mercantile Library club, which
had many members who were ardent
devotees of Caissa. Even among these
Capt. Clark became known as one more
than ordinarily devoted to the game,
He played at all time with such COM
,plete absorption in his task that his
sessions at the club were always spec
tacles for the curious; in short, he

For more of that same old pie.

Now the story goes that when the
proposition to send the Oregon around

regarding Capt. Clark's fitness for. so

that anyone who took chess so serious
" as Clark did could be depended upon
to do his best proportionately in great

thing does not certainly appear, but
it is fact that few hours after this
conference orders were sent to Clark
to take the Oregon southwark.
