cAusTIc CRITICISM IN SENATE
Raynor Contends That Treaty With
Japan Does Not Give Privileges in
Connection With Public School sys-
tem-Wants to Know the Power Of
the President.

Washington, Dec. 12.-Caustic crftt-
cism of Roosevelt's position on the
Japanese question prefaced Senator
Rayner's discussion in the senate today
of the constitutional questions involved.
II the military and civil forces Of the
federal government We're to be used by
the president, Rayner says, it became
very important to know the exact pow
er Of the president in the matter.
Much interest was manifested in the
position defended by Senator Rayner in
his discussion of the Japanese question.
He contended the inherent rights OF
the state could not be violated by treaty
any more than they could be- violated
by congress. To support this he cited
many adjudicated cases before the SUI
preme court and arrayed long lines Of
eminent authorities. Rayner also gave
cases and authorities of the other side
to the proposition. He was inter-
rupted many times in this constitutions
al argument by senators who wished to
bring out specific points in the dis
cussion. Rayner spoke for more than
an hour.
The president" he added, "is exer-
cising a great many functions -execu-
tive Legislative, judicial-lawful and
unlawful, constitutional and unconsti-
tutional. If he is possessed OF the idea
he is supervisor Of all the public
schools of the various states OF the
union, and he seems to be impressed
with this idea, because in very hast
paragraph Of his message he recom-
mends the establishment Of Shooting
galleries in all the large public schools
of the country, we must either disa-
buse his mind Of this or we must let
him know we agree as to the Omnipo-
tence of his jurisdiction
Rayner contended that there Is no
provision whatever in the treaty with
Japan that confers the right the presi-
dent speaks of or gives to the govern
ment of Japan privileges 1t claims in
connection with the public school sys-
tenn of California or any other state.
If there was such a provision In this
treaty, or any other treaty. conferring
this right. the treaty would be void
without any authority upon the part Of
the United States to make 1t, in viola
tion of the constitution and treaty
making power of the government.

Minnie B. Mountz, now of Toledo, on

thirteen years ago, but were reconcil-

STRANGE OMISSION MADE
That Virtually AboIisheS the Office Of Township
Assessor in Ohio No Taxes Can Be Collected
Unless Some Remedy is Promptly Found.

provides that "all municipal officers
and judges and clerks of police courts
and assessors" shall be chosen in the
odd numbered years But there is alb
solutely nothing to indicate how many
assessors shall be named.
The custom has been to elect one
from each ward is municipalities. AT
best there is a fragmentary authority
for an election within municipalities,
for the townships.
Senator Laning will call the atten-
-tion of the attorney general to the
matter, as some provision will have to
be made for the filing of these re-
sponsible positions. Without any le>
gal method for the valuation and re-
turn of property no taxes can be col
lected 1t is hoped that decision
can be secured whereby it will be
made to appear that there is va
cancy in the Office. This will give
power to fill the same and thus the
matter can be tided over until the
general assembly can meet again IN
1905
The difficulty about this phase OF
the matter is that the statute is 81
lent entirely upon the office named,
while it mentions all of the other
township officials from clerk to con-
stable. 1t may be that the thing is
covered elsewhere in the statutes, but
the experts have been unable to dis
cover it. AS almost every township
in the state is divided into voting pre-
cincts thousands of assessors will be
affected by this remarkable omission.

Norwalk, o., July SIN examining
the recently issued volume of laws
passed at the last session of the gen.
eral assembly, former Senator Jay F.
Laning, of this city, who is in the le-
gal publication business, made the
astonishing discovery that through an
omission the Office of township asses
sor was virtually abolished. He left
for Columbus to lay the matter before
the proper authorities.
The error was apparently commit
ted in the engrossing of senate bill
No 16S, which appears upon pages
III and 172 of the session laws. The
purpose of this law was to make the
terms of township officials conform
to the recent constitutional amend
ments. Section 144S, before the pass
age of the new bill. provided for the
election of an assessor for each town
ship in the state, and if the township
was divided into two or more election
precincts, for one assessor for each
precinct in which an election was
held This has been left out of the
new section 144S entirely, and a
search of the volume fails to disclose
any enactment elsewhere providing
for the election of these important Of
ficials.
The Office is named in succeeding
section 1451, giving authority to the
trustees ofill all vancacies in town
ship Offices save their own, the asses
sor being specifically mentioned. Sec
