New York, June l4.-Corporal punish

board OF education, has been restored IN
New York public schools, through a de-
cision OF Judge Olmstead. in the child
ren's court, although the president oi
the board enters contrary ruling.
According TO the judge the lash may
he used by teachers without any inter
ference on the part OF the parents when
ever the court gives offenders into their
custody.
This decision was reached after exam
lining two boys, the first Ior playing
truant. the second on charge OF steal
ing gold ring from his teacher Both
pleaded guilty.
Their parents pleaded hard with the
Judge not to send the boys to an Insti'
tuition. Judge Olmstead then announced
his decision to act under new form oi
commitment by which children guilty
of small crimes can be punished under
the legal guardianship OF their teachers
This means corporal punishment when
ever the guardian feels like welding the
rod or the strap, for he has the same an
thority to punish under the law as thu
parent.
President Tiff of the board OF educa
ton declared the courts decision to b'
in direct opposition to the rules whic'
govern the management OF the pubh
schools and that he did not believe tn
rules would be violated even with tn

Portland, June l4.-"Multnomah coun'
tvs tax will not be increased by the plan
OF sssesing property at its full cash
value" said Judge Webster this morning.
who said that people who supposed the
tax would be greatly increased by the
fact that the assessed valuation Is to he
made practically three times greater
than il now is, had very erroneous I'M
preston. I'VE have to raise just so much
money for county purposes" he said
and if we have large amount to levy
on the rate Of the levy will be cores
pondingly less. TO illustrate, ii the
assessed valuation of property in this
county is now $5OOOO,Ooo, and we have
four per Gent tax, when the assessed
valuation Is Sl5O0O0,OO0 the rate of the
tax would be only about l.2 per cent,
Judge Webster then explained that
the county court levied only the general
county and road tax and had nothing
TO do with the other leyies. But the
state tax and the state school tax VIII
not be increased by the change in the
manner of assessing property, for the
levy OF these is not based on the valua'
tion of the property at all. The other
leyies are based on the valuation, how
ever. and speaking for the county leyies
Judge Webster said the levies would
of course. be smaller if the valuations
were higher.
"The law requires the county assess
or to assess property at its full value
said the Judge, "and he is only doing hi
duty in making it that way. The asses
ment will he uniform and will not affect
one citizen more than another"
County officers are greatly amused al
the resolutions passed by farmers in dif
ferent parts of the county, who have
total misunderstanding Of the situation
and think taxes are to be multiplied by
three. The officers say that the onl!
danger, if there be any danger at al
| in the change, has not been recognized
nv the trainers OF the resolutions at all
That is that when the valuation Is yer.
large and the tax rate corresponding.
small. the tendency will be for the peop
to feel very rich as a county and will ex
pend more money than advisable in i'm
provements and more expensive publ
buildings, utilities, etc.
