HEAR KICKS ON
NEWSPAPER
TAXES

Assessor Stewart this morning
presented before the board or
equalization his arguments why
items for the assessment of in
tangible property of the Spokes-
man-Review and Chronicle should
remain on the books of the county.
He submitted an opinion by the
attorney general In answer to a
question concerning the assessabil-
ity of the circulation Of news
paper, in which the state attorney
replied that all property not spe-
officially exempt under law is sub
ject to taxation. He helo that SUBJ
scription lists are tantamount to
contracts and are property though
intangible. He quoted from the
opinion Of Justice Brewer of the
federal supreme court to the effect
that good will Is thing of value
and Is proper subject for taxation,
because it produces income and is
property.
He quoted from the revenue law
providing that the opinion Of the
attorney general must be followed.
He stated that the attorney for Mr..
Cowles had not claimed that the
items in question were excessive.
He said that other intangible prop
erty in Spokane has been assessed,
notably that of the banks. He laid
It down as fact that the Spokane
board had no right to consider in
their own equalizing what Is being
done in another county, and had
no right to take up legal questions
or usurp the functions of the
courts, He closed with plea
that, inasmuch as during the four
years of his own term of office the
entire matter had been mooted, 1t
now go to the courts, where it be-
longs, for settlement.
Attorney Stephens reiterated his
arguments and launched few
questions. In replying, Mr.. Stew.
art thought 1t preposterous that
the Chronicle should consider itself
worth only as much as many of
the houses and lots of the middle
class Of people in Spokane are as.
sessed for.

that the saw was not properly
safeguarded and that the manage
