IS APPOINTMENT INVALID.

The serious doubt that has arisen as
to the possibility of making valid levy
cf taxes for 1868 under the present
statutes has directed attention 10 an
other alleged defect in the tax laws Of
the state. regarded by some attorneys
as even more momentous. Il Is said
that the method prescribed for the APP
portionmant Of the state tax among the
counties is unconstitutional. because at
variance with that fundamental princi-
Pile Of this government which insures
equal aud uniform taxation to all.
Should the objection be sound its con-
sequences may be far reaching II the
method of apportionment Is invalid no
county can be compelled to collect state
taxes or pay them over to the state
IL collected The Toss Of the revenue
from taxes would paralyze all the MAJ
chlnery of state government and all the
state institutions. Numerous appro-
priations made by the legislature would
be imperllled. among them the appro-
pration Of half million dollars for the
Lewis and Clark far.
II ls the belief of those who regard
the law as defective that the only cure
lies IN remedial legislation. and this,
they declare. must be enacted at once,
IN order TO avoid very serious compli-
cations.

Health Laws
Masters Of Vessels Err in Trying
to Evade the Regulations
Governing Quarantine.

The case Of the Ant rican barkentine

without clean bill Of health. furnishes
an object lesson 10 masters Of vessels
engaged IN the coastwise trade. Homo
lulu II plague-infected port Prior
- the departure df the Amazon the
quarantine officer there suggested 20
ths master that he should allow his
vessel to be dlsenfectsd II was option
al with the master to submit TO disin-
fection At Honolulu or to 50 into quar-
antine At the port of his destination
Htach0sa the latter course. To have
had the vessel disinfected At Honolulu
would have entailed q delay of only a
day, while 10 go into quarantine at the
port of destination viii result in the
loss of fully two weeks. After the
vessA IL iisinfecged she viii be requir-
ed 70 remain IN quarantine week
THE refusal Of the master to have

foolishness. said Quarantine officer
EsarIs yest erday. "The marine health
laws wiii, oi course, be strictly enforce
ed IN all cares, and there ,s no possible
chance f9r the Amazon TO escape. II
Is Well Understood that some masters
