COMMISSION MTERPRETS
$500 EXEMPTION CLAUSE

Olympia. July 29.-A ruling on the
$500 exemption clause. Of the revenue
laws has been made by the state tax
commission in the following letter sd-
dressed to Oren G. Wilson, deputy as
SCISSOR Of Pacific county, at South Bend :
"Your letter of July IS, inquiring
whether q man who has been q resi-
dent Of your county for a number of
years, owning personal property there,
but whose family lives abroad, is en-
titled to the exemption of $500, has
been received.
"The whole subject hinges on the
question of whether or not the family
who ale living abroad are dependent
on the man living in Pacific county
for support. This exemption lie in
tended for every head Of family, and
il the party referred to contri butes to
the support of the family, whether
they are in Pacific county or anywhere
else, he would be entitled to the ex-
emption.
"If, however, he is living alone and
separate from his family, and not con-
tributing to them in any way, the mere
fact of his being married man and
having family would not entitle him
to the exemption.
"This being our idea of the law, you
can find out the facts as they are and
apply the law thereto"

DAMAGE TO WHEAT CROP
SAID TO Be Slight

Seattle, July 28.-That only slight
damage was done to grain in Eastern
Washington by the unusually hot
weather during the past week is shown
in dispatches received from the wheat
districts. Winter and early spring
wheat seem to have suffered none from
the excessive heat, but rather to have
been benefited in many cases. The
only dsmage done was to late sown
spring grain, and the extent OF the in
Jury to that seems not to exceed to
Der cent, except in isolated cases.

American Desert

According to a bulletin Of the Fed
eral Census, California, the second
largest State in the Union, has land
surface of 1882, 200 acres, Of which
little more than 1T per cent was
irrigated in 1902.
In the number of irrigated farms
and the total construction cost Of irri-
CATION systems, California holds first
rank; in total area irrigated it is Sec
ond only to Colorado.
In 1902 the area irrigated from I'll
sources of water supply aggregated
1,7O8, 72O acres, an increase of 262, 848
acres, or 1872 per cent since 1899. This
il an average increase Of 87.616 acres
per year, while the average increase
per year for the decade 18S9-99 was
only 44,164 acres. e@
In 1902 there were in operation
COLT systems with an aggregate Of
7,O1O miles of main canals and bitches.
the total construction cost Of which
was $23, IL. 157. or 1891 for each acre

So farms.
T OF the total irrigated area, 1926, 500
acres belonging to 23,888 farms were
watered from streams; 1928 acres on
BIT farms from springs: and 164,28S

PLEBISClTE in NORWAY
ON DISSOLUTION QUESTION

Christiania, July 28.-The Norweg-
ian government has proposed to the
storthing the holding If referendum
on the dissolution of the Union with
Sweden. The proposal was referred
to special committee.
Stockholm, July 28.-There is wide
spread satisfaction in Sweden over the
fall Of the Ramstedt ministry, which
amounts to disavowal of the milk
and water" policy of the kings advis-
ers in the union crisis and to an open
concession to the demands Of the Swed-
ish people for q more aggressive atti-
tude toward the Norwegian revolution
aries.
King Oscar has not yet found q
statesman willing to undertake the
guiding of Sweden at this CRITICAL
iuneture. Several have already de-
clined.
Both houses Of the Swedish parlia-
ment yesterday approved the report OF
the special committee appointed by
parliament to deal with the crisis be-
tween Sweden and Norway. In the
first chamber the report was adopted
without debate. In the second cham.
Der the recommendation in the report
regarding negotiations for dissolution
was adopted unanimously, but there
was some objection to the proposed
loan Of 81. 200, 900 to meet the new
conditions.
The Swedes consider that both the
immediate and eventual conditions OF
the special committees recommenda-
ton. are characterized by the utmost
moderation, and will leave the world
in no doubt az to Sweden's desire for q
peaceful reconciliation. The press
echoes the hope that both countries
win now approach q settlement IN q
spirit of good will and q general de-
sire TO avert war.

Colman has had q summer Damn sev.

on the island, while Trimble. who
owns the rest Of the land, was deter.
mined he would have that lao acres
On june l., 1901, the state leased
the school land to r. J. Fisher for 4
2 year, and this lease was assigned to
Colman. June 1, 1905, Mr.. Colman
applied Tor q new lease, stating he de-
sired the land for camping purposes.
and offered $l2 year rental.
The state land commissioner had the
land appraised by Charles A. Billings.
one OF the state cruisers, who reported
the rental value at $50 a year. Mr..
Colmsn was notified that $50 was the
minimum rental rate that would be
accepted.
Mr.. Colman made new application.
alleging that he had improved the
lands and was entitled to release as
an improver, and offered $40 a year
rental. Pelton then made an offer of
$40 year for lease of the land.
The commissioner at once notified
Colman that $40 was offered and that
Mr.. Colman would have to meet that
bid. This Mr.. Colman did, and the
entry of the lease to him was made on
the records, but before the lease had
been delivered Trimble offered $4,000
for five year lease and mailed a check
for 81, 200, the first years rental, to
the land commissioner.
The land commissioner returned
the check and notified Mr.. Pelton and
Mr.. Trimble that the proceedings had
gone SO far that the state felt bound to
deliver the lease to Colman.
The court holds that the mere fact
that he il disappointed bidder for a
lease of the land gives Mr.. Pelton no
rights greater than those of the ordi-
nary public; he "has not sufficient spe-
cial interest 60 authorize him to apply
for mandamus to compel the land COM
missioner to offer the lands for lease, 4"
and the petition ia dismissed.
The land is said by the appraiser to
be valuelees either for agricultural or
timber purposes, but is pretty CAM
ping spot on the north end of Blake
island, which is the island in the
sound opposite Alki point and of the
entrance to Port Orchard.

Of departmental expenditures Of appro-
priations. Il 10 said that some sweep.
ing reforms in methods may b expect
ed az q result Of the congressional in
quiry, il conditions arc found to be a.
now suspected. Congress intends to
make stand against lump sum appro-
priations and mixed contingent
funds"
Il is going too far to say that it may
change the system Of voting blanket
appropriations, but it will be recon-
mended by congressman and probably
be carried into effect. Il is alleged
that the departments use tho conting-
emit funds for purposes not designed by
congress and, az fast as the departments
secure appropriated funds, so do they
expand the scope Of expenditure.
Ona source of irritation, too, is the
rapidly expanding secret service bu-
reau. It is alleged that the contingent
funds of departments are being drawn
upon to pay for Investigations by the
secret service bureau of the treasury
department., branch of the govern
ment that was originally intended to
put down oounterfeiting, but which
has grown in recent years until it takes
in about everything from guarding the
presidents person to investigating
land frauds.
In this connection it is recalled that
at one time last session the secret SER
vice was suspected Of maintaining an
espionage over congressman and very
emphatic warning was quietly issued
that if any secret service man put his
foot on Capitol hill in connection with
any congressional affairs, the service
would think the dome had tumbled
down on it.

STATE FACTORY Law.

IN what is considered one Of the

saonhers Of the court, holds that the
admitted knowledge of tue employe il

ID as defense, inssmuch as the stat
nte does not expressly prevent it.
Watching for Decision.
Attorneys of milling companies and
other factories have been awaiting this
decision with interest, as it is the first
time the court has passed upon this
doctrine of assumption Of risk under
tne factory law since the latter was
adopted in 1908. :
The decision is in the case Of B. B.
Hall against the West & Slade Mill
Company. Hall was injured and re-
covered damages in the lower court.
To the defense of assumed risk a dc
murrer was interposed. This was sus-
tanned by the lower court because the
mill company had not complied with
the 1903 law requiring safeguards.
Hall admitted on cross examination
that he knew of the exposed set screw
which caused his injuries.
The majority of the court says that
the chief point has been previously de-
cided by the court in 80 Wash. 81,
the opinion being written by Justice
". q. White.
The decision was written by Justice
Fullerton and concurred in by Chief
Justice Mount and Justices Hadley
and Dunbar.
The dissenting opinion says the deci-
sion obliterstes old landmarks Of the
law and establishes an innovation nei-
Their justified nor desirable Justice
Root contends that the court is read
ing into the statute provision neither
intended nor proper. He says that
when the factory bill was passed the
legislature had another bill designed
to wipe out the assumption of risk and
that the legislature refused to pass the
latter measure. He contends that q
specific statute is necessary and that
such taking away of defense cannot
be done by inference or indirection.
