BIC SENSATION
PROVES A FzzLE
Circuit Court Decides
J. B. Pownall Did Not
Falsify.
His Affidavit in RaWhide
Case the Result of a
Misconception.

What bid fair to be a sensational case
came to a mild termination yesterday
afternoon, when it was proven to the sat
isfaction of Judge Morrow of the United
States Circuit Court that the affidavit of
j. b. Pownall, representing the Tuolumne
County Water Company in its motion to
have the attachment levied upon it by
the Rawhide Mining Company dissolved,
was not willful deceit, but prompted by
d misunderstanding of terms.
1t developed in the argument before the
court that three agreements had been en-
tered into between the Rawhide mine and
the TuoIumne Power Company, and that
in securing an attachment upon the elec-
trio power company for violation OF the
alleged agreement the affidavit of the
plaintiff in the motion TO dissolve the at
tachment is based on another agreement.
The original complaint Of the Rawhide
Mining Company was that the Tuolumne
County Water Company and the Tuol-
umne Electric Light Company had
agreed to buy the Rawhide's power plant
for $150.OOO, payment to be made in power
furnished to the Rawhide and App mines.
This the power company failed to do, ac-
cording to the affidavit of A. II. Ricketts,,
attorney for the Rawhide.
The further charge that ]. B. Pownall
of the electric power company had falsi-
fled. in his answering affidavit threatened
to result in a sensation, but the opinion
Of the court sets the matter at rest

Bunko Man Will Be Held.

Police Judge Fritz announced yesterday
afternoon that he would hold James
johnson, an alleged bunko man, to an
swer before the Superior Court on a
charge of grand larceny, but at the re-
quest OF the defendants attorney he post
poned making the formal order till to-day.
The Judge advised the defendants attor-
ney to apply for a writ of habeas corpus,
remarking 1t was the strongest case of
the kind that had ever come before him
and If the higher court held that the evi-
dence was insufficient there would be no
use in hearing any more cases of the
kind. The case against j. B. johnson
was dismissed. johnson was accused OF

UNIQUE DEFENSE
WINS ACQUITTAL
Members Of the Greek
Church Play Cards
to Raise Funds.
Police Claimed They Were
Engaged in Game
Of Chance.

-Four Greeks. George AIarino, George
Nichols, Charles Helotes and George
Laekas, who were arrested for gambling,
made a novel defense before Police Judge
Mogan yesterday. which had the desired
effect and they were discharged with an
admOnition
Policemen Small and Owens. who made
the arrests, testified that early in the
morning OF January IL they saw the four
defendants playing cards in room IN the
basement or ~ Howard street. The OF
ficers made their way through a trap
door and a ladder 10 the basement ana
entered the room before the players were
aware Of their presence. There was more
than $50 on the table and each player had
q stack Of chips. They thought the game
that was being played was "sanguineti.
known as Italian faro" but they could
not swear positively.
The defendants testified that they We're
playing Greek casino. which was not a
gambling game. They were all members
Of the Greek church and had talked
among themselves as to the best way 10
contribute money toward the building
fund Of the new church. II was finally
decided that on the Greek New Year,
which is January l5, they would meet in
the basement of 727 Howard street and
each would put up $50. They would play
Greek casino until one of their number
had won the $50 and he would have the
privilege of handing over that amount in
mis- own name to the building fund Of the
church.
The Judge said that the preponderance
Of evidence was in favor Of the defendants
and he would dismiss the case, but he
advised them to take some other means
OF raising money for the building fund OF
the new church. They promised to give
heed to the Judges admonition.

WORKS AN INJUSTICE.

The result of this has been the concea Iment
removal of personal property, its owners
feeling that the unjust and frequently
great to consume from % per cent to 80
per cent Of the income from such personal
property. Such a tax is of course, almost
confscation. II all property taxed as
the law requires, with the resulting lower
rate. more personal property would be seen on
rolls.
Again, it has been urged against this plan
that IL is difficult TO determine the full value
of property and hence II is better to adopt a
percentage of full value as a basis of assess
inert This objection is. of course. without
merit. The full value must be first determined
mined whether IL be 80 per cent or 20 per cent
clusion to full value. with more exactness
than ii Is at any percentage of full value
Any tendency TO valuation in excess of full
value may be checked By an appeal to the
Boards Of Equalization.
But the main point in favor of this plan is
that thereby greater equity would be secured
as between taxpayers. This is of greatest i'm
portance 10 the individual taxpayer Any tax
payer who Is paying taxes on a larger per
centage OF market value than his neighbor
has right to complain of the ik1usttce done
him. He is in effect paying half Of his neigh
bors tax out of his own pocket II his prop
erty Is assessed at so per cent OF it's value
and his neighbors at but 40 per cent.
Above all. our laws recognize this method of
full valuation of all property. the only way
OF securing equal taxation. and have laid IL
down as the method to be followed

ARRIVING AT VALUATIONS.

In the case of city real estate the same dis
crepancy exists. All this results in unequal
and is a state of things never contemplated by
the law The law exacts that all property
shall be assessed at its full f cas- cash value value Why
established in this State another basis of val
uation which has the sanction, 1t would appear,
of the State Board of Equalization, and which
basis is supposed to be In the neighborhood of
from co to 40 per cent Of the market value. AS
op tbo vainafior established by the Assessor
in each county. there has always seemed 10 he
fear on the part of the people o. each county
valuat ton than other counties were. hus cacn
county has resolutely resisted any approach to
a full valuation OF its property as the law pro-
vides. Doubtless If the law We're uniformly
enforced the assessment of all property N
the State its full value 1t would result in
greater equality OF assessments IN many ilfec-
tions ANY deviation OF the assessed valuation
from the standard would be more apparent f
this standard were the market value than it is
when the standard is 60 or 20 per cent o. the
market value. 1t has been asserted that as
sessng property at its full value worli mean
an increase of taxation. This is Incorrect. The
only thing that increase taxation is in III
crease in expenditures. II we double the val
uation of ali property the rate must he re-
duced one-half If expenses remain the same,
and the tax paid by each taxpayer v.uld re-
erfY qth is he assesaed at $1,000 at 81 rate he pays
less than If his property is assess ii $1,000
at a 50-cent rate. In each case he pays $40 in
taxes.
Another objection that is urged against such
a plan is that il would mean a larger payment
to the State in the way of State taxes This
could only be so in case that some counties
still persisted in returning their property at a
low valuation. and in case the State Board of
Equalization neglected 10 equalize the coun-
ties by raising the valuation of property in
such counties, to the same standard as that of
other counties In case however, that asses
sors would act in unison and place all property
in all of the counties the assessment roffs
az its full valuation the State tax rate would
be reduced that no taxpayer would be af-
fected thereby
Another objection that has been urged to this
plan is that full valuation means unjust dis
elimination against real estate, in favor of
personal property, and sadding the burdens of
taxation upon the owners of realty This Is
erroneous. The law eXacts that both real es-
tate and personal property shall be taxed alike
at full value. But in practice such is not the
case. Most OF the personal property assessed
Is assessed at full value-money, credits
stocks and bonds, when assessed usually
listed at full valuation. while it is realty which
is favored with lower basis Of valuation.
