STATE COMMISSION HAS NOT Sc
RlOUSLY CONTEMPLATED
TAKING SUCH ACTION
Chairman Rockwell Says the Bankers
Have Been Misinformed-Mort-
cages Will be Taxed, However.

The bankers Of the state of Wash
ing, who have been protesting vigor-
ously against the reported intention
of the state tax commission to require
positors to county assessors that the
deposits may be taxed, have been
misinformed as to the intentions of
the commission, according to Chair
man T. D. Rockwell. Mr.. Rockwell
has declared that the tax commission
has never announced a policy Of that
character and had never seriously
discussed suci a course. The Wash
ington State Bankers association re-
Gently entered protest against this
reported policy of the commission and
also against the alleged intention of
all mortgages not given as part Of the
purchase price of the property.
The association appointed COM
mittee composed Of E. w. Purdy Of
Bellingham, P. c. Kaufman Of Ia
coma, Jacob Furth and N. H. Latimer
of Seattle and J. p, M. Richards of
Spokane to prepare a report on the
purposes of the commission and out
line a course of action for the banks
to follow. This committee has ar
ranged for meeting with the MEM
bers of the state tax commission at
the Butler hotel in Seattle, December
1S.
The bankers protest against the tax
ing of all deposits on the ground that
it would drive away many hundred
thousands of dollars deposited in
Washington banks by trustees for
eastern investors, which in turn would
compel the banks to call in their loans
and thus create a general financial
stringency throughout the state. They
also contend that the taxation OF
mortgages will drive the eastern cap
italists out Of this field and put money
at prohibitive rates of interest.
Mr.. Rockwell has declined to dis
cuss the mortgage feature Of the con-
troversy.

MANY STRANGERS TO RAIL-
ROAD CENTER.
Deputy Byrnes Says North Bank Road
Is Working 200 Men Across River
from WaIIuIa-

Railroad activity in the vicinity of
Wallula continues to increase" said
Deputy Sheriff Allan Byrnes, who was
in Walla Walla today. "The north
bank line is working about 200 men
across the river from Wallula. The
construction crews are working to-
ward Umatilla, but as yet there is
no work being done between Wallula
and Kennewick.
A line of steamers make landings
daily at the old town of Wallula, re-
ceiving and discharging material ana
freight for the construction gangs
working on the north bank road. The
Jerome which was wrecked at West
Rapids, several weeks ago is being
rebuilt and will be ready for upriver
service in another MONTH
Deputy Byrnes says that the con-
struction crew and party Of engineers
which were in camp below Wallula for
several weeks have been shipped onto
the Sound without imparting any in
formation as to whom they were en-
ployed by. The impression was left,
however, that the crew would be re-
turned to Wallula within so days to
begin actual construction work, but
whether on the North Coast road or
the Pacific railway, Deputy Byrnes
says it was impossible to ascertain. AS
a result of so much railroad activity
Deputy Byrnes says that business in
Wallula is beginning to pick up and
many strangers are drifting in. A
newspaper plant has been shipped in
and the first issue will be made
within another month. Real estate Of
ficers are being opened up and real
estate values are beginning to take an
upward turn.

SAID THE NORTHERN PACIFIC
WILL CONSTRUCT THE ONE
ACROSS THE COLUMBIA.
From kennewick-RaiIroad Build
ing at Pasco.

Judging from information that I OBJ
tanned at PascO yesterday and from
the observations made I am of
the opinion that Northern Pa
cific has abandoned the idea Of build
ing it's north bank line from Kenne-
wick toward Wallula," said a promi-
who returned this morning from a trip
through Franklin and Benton counties.
while in Pasco 1 had a conversation
with a prominent railroad man and
while he did not impart any direct in
formation regarding the plans of the
Hill interests in the construction Of its
north bank road, he limited sufficiently
to lead me to believe that bridge is
to be built at Wallula and that all Of
the Northern and Great Northern
trains destined to Portland will be
sent by that town and thence down
the north bank of the river. I was in
formed that the Northern Pacific has
plans under way for building an
other track from Pasco to Wallula,
which would give the road a double
track system between the two places.
"As far as I was able to ascertain,
the Hill interests have not acquired
any right of way whatever between
Kennewick and the Columbia river op-
posite Wallula, and this is very
strong indication that nothing is to be
done in that locality.
'The Northern Pacific now has a
large force at work laying additional
side tracks at Pasco, about Is addi-
tional tracks being now under course
of construction. Another track is be-
ing laid from Pasco to Ethiopia in order
to facilitate the handling of trains be-
tween Spokane and Pasco.

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS.
Plea Money Taken Was Acquired by
Gambling Proves Unavailing.

The supreme court has affirmed the
Judgment of the conviction in the cases
of Pearl Howard, Charles Wilson and
Frank Smith, charged with robbing
John Malesett. The defendants made
much of the point that $30.25 of the
money taken from the victim was won
by him by gambling, and was not
his property. Without judicially de-
termining whether it was crime to
rob man of money won by gambling
the supreme court finds that 81 taken
from the victim had been earned pick
ing hops and that robbery is suff1-
cient to make the crime.
