TAX DODGING SHOULD CEASE

Since our last issue q attention
has been called to an article stating
that an assessor assessed the rail
roads Of his county at the rate Of SIG,
900 per mile. and that his county
successfully collected the taxes,
while assessors in other counties
were making like assessments at the
rate OF from $4,000 to $4,000 per mile.
It Il now. and has been for more than
a quarter OF a century the law in this
state making Il the duty OF each as
SCISSOR to assess all property at It's
true cash value, and we consider that
such assessor did no more than his
duty AZ prescribed by law. AS we un-
derstand It Is this assessment "a a
great deal less than one third Of the
real value OF a mile Of railroad. Many
hundred miles Of railroads in this
state are bonded or m~ortgaged at
from 5000 TO $4,000 per mile, and
the holders OF these bonds consider
them gilt edge securities. To be good
securities II is considered that the
land offered for security must be
worth at least three times the amount
Of money loaned on It. II this be so
It is me sworn duty Of every assessor
in the state to assess this and all
other property at the true cash value.
From the way assessments are made
In this state II Is certainly quite evi.
dent that no assessor ever knew or
understandingly read his duties as
prescribed by law.

Oregon Law School Jourual)
Recently an important decision In
volving in the proper use of the writ
Of prohibition was decided by the
supreme court OF Idaho in the matter
OF the petition of Edward Stein for
such a writ to restrain the state board
from issuing certain bonds authorized
by the sugar bounty law OF that state.
II was contended that the Issuance
Of such bonds would increase the In.
~debtedness of the state beyond the
limit prescribed in the constitution.
The opinion OF the court is render.
ed by Justice Ailshie, and from which
we substantially quote the following:
It must be assumed by the courts
until the contrary appears, that the
legislature In making their biennial
appropriations and tax levy to meet
the same estimated the amount Of
revenue the state would derive from
all other sources than that OF a tax
levy and that sufficient levy wa made
TO cover the difference between the
total appropriation aud the amount
TO be received from other sources
than that OF a tax levy.
The court must take judicial notice
OF the constitutional and statutory
methods provided for raising revenues
and agumenting the public funds, but
can not take notice OF the amount
50 raised and received, and until Il is
shown that the total income for two
years for which legislative appropria.
Ions are made Is not sufficient to meet
such appropriations the courts viii as
sumo that the legislature has kept
within the constitutional limitations.
Article VII. OF he constitution
contemplates a complete scheme for
the collection OF taxes and revenues
and the payment Of the current expen.
Sos OF the state looking to the gener
Al purpose OF ending the two years for
which appropriations are made with
the expense Of maintaining the state
government for the period fully paid
The public revenues may be ap.
%propriated by the legislature in anticl.
.Pation Of their receipt as was done by
the general appropriation act OF
March IL, zoos, Session Laws. 1908,
sos ana Il Is not necessary to the
validity Of such an appropriation that
funds should be In the treasury at the
time 70 meet the same.
Such appropriations DO not con.
sdtute a debt or liability against the
state within the provisions OF section
l. article VIII. OF the constitution. but
rather operate upon the Incoming
revenues for the same pesod Of time

knowledge OF the law TO become a
law maker. The absurdity OF such an
idea is now becoming quite appar.
ent to all who have given the subject
consideration. It is not every practic-
ing lawyer that properly drafts a
legislative bill for the reason he is not
painstaking and fails to consider it's
effect upon the general harmony OF
existing rules Of law. It would save
much expense aud confusion in a
state II all measures were submitted
10 a body OF careful persons trained
in the law, and in no way connected

AsHEVILLE. n. c.. May 19.-After
ten years of negotiation and arbitration
over a little strip of land that sticks
into Biltmore. the George w. Wander
bilt estate. like a wedge. the multi
millionaire has been forced to surren-
der to the negro owner of the topo-
graphical wedge. He has agreed not
only to pay the former slave some hun
dreds of times what his six acres of thin
soil is worth with its three-room cabin,
but viii build a house elsewhere for him
and keep It in repair for the rest of his
life
Just a Plain Negro.
Charles Collins is the negro who has
compelled Mr.. Vanderbilt to come 10
his way Of thinking. In the early stages
Of the negotiations the millionaire made
an offer of a fabulous sum for the six
acre wedge and the tumble-down cabin
on It. 1t IS said that it's proximity to
the mansion built by the millionaire led
him to make an offer of $50 900 for the
property. But the negro's friends ad-
vised him not to accept the offer They
told him to hold out for more and he
would be sure to get it, for the reason
that Mr.. Vanderbilt would not want to
look down on his rickety log cabin from
his front door,
