TO TAX STORED WHEAT.
Washington Tax Commission After
TaX-Dodgers.

Olympia. June 2O.-Unless the
warehouseman reports to the assess
or the names of owners of stored
wheat, the grain is properly taxable
to the warehouse owners, declares
the state tax commission in a letter
today to Assessor Shules of Douglas
county. Shules founr 1900 bushels
of wheat in warehouses of the Ever
EFT Grain & Warehouse company, and
assessed it at $4,000. The company
claims it owns but 191 bushels, the
rest being held subject to shipping in
structions.
In part the commission said:
Taxation is not to be treated as a
game of hide and seek. The ware
house company had possession of this
wheat, which is prima facie evidence
of ownership. This species of pro-
duct carries with It no marks of iden-
tification aside from evidence of pos
session.
1.-The sale of personal property pre-
supposes a delivery of the thing sold,
or a memoranda in writing which
usually takes the form of a bill of sale.
Neither of these usual courses has
been observed. The warehouse COM
pany could have easily relieved itself
of responsibility--if the facts would
warrant it-by giving you the name
of the alleged purchaser.
eve do not believe that taxation
should be defeated. and our laws set
at naught by the naked statement of
warehousemen or others of non-own-
ership of property in their possession,
carrying all Of the badges of full
ownership.
"Your course in assessing to the
Everett Grain & Warehouse company
the $4,000 bushels of wheat is ap-
proved and commended"

When seen yesterday Mr. Rossi
stated that he had not yet matured
his plans for Lewiston and the Lewis

would be ready to make a definite
announcement within the next few
weeks. He feels that unkind things
have been said about him in the city

ferred to the trip from which he has
recently returned. ut was only a
matter that required my presence
there and but a few DAYS were re-
quired for the business to be transact
ed. We visited in all parts of Italy,
however, and had most enjoyable

me to remain in Turin. as my ascend

sition at home, but I preferred to re-

Mr.. Rossi states that the plans for

mountain have been completed, but
the public announcement will not be
made for some time.
