DAD DEMANDS PLENTY
OF BIRDS

Dad" Selfridge, bookkeeper Of
the county auditors office, is in a
great frame of mind over the ex-
listing game laws. He is going up
into Stevens county to slaughter
upland birds. If the law said that
he could shoot ten birds each Of
pheasant, prairie chicken and
grouse, he could count on at least
80 birds a day, but Dad" under
stands that the limit of ten birds
applies to all the upland birds. In
the two weeks he will spend afeld,
commencing next Sunday, all he
could legally shoot may be so
restricted to 140. He would like
to have it three times as much, or
10 Of each kind In season Dad"
is an epicure, with special gusto
for birds, not ground hogs.

COMMISSIONER Dean
ALAW UNTO HIMSELF

The question of whether it Is
legal to place the figures $3.50 in
the exemption space on the per.
sonal property detail lists has
bobbed up before the board of
equalization. The brief history Of
the matter is thus stated: Deputy
assessors were instructed in cases
where exemption on personally was
legal to cut the $500 exemption al
lowed by law by 40 per cent. The
detail sheets show $3.50 instead of
$500, on the theory that a 60 per
cent valuation of personally total
ing $500, or $500, would, If allowed
$500 exemption on the sheets, re-
suit in an exemption practically Of
$500 full valuation.
Charlie Howard of the county
auditors Office blew in today and
asked for $500 exemption on his
detail sheet. Chief Deputy AS
SCISSOR Leghorn explained about
the virtual exemption of $500 worth
II the 60 per cent were not taken
also in the matter of $500.

It developed In the hearing yes
terday afternoon before the board
of equalization on the request for
reduction in assessment of the
Spokesman Review to SAL ,495 from
100000 and of the Chronicle to
$2605 from $4,000, that in neither
case would the management giv)
statement as to the income or
earnings of the two establish
ments.
The position of the assessor was
not gone into yesterday and on re-

the presentation of that side of the
case. Mr.. Stewart will then place
before the board the opinions Of
the prosecuting attorney in other
years and the opinion Of various
courts on the matter Of the tax
ability of intangible property.
Comparison of the producing
property of the Chronicle at it's
