Washington State LEGISLATURE,

Many important changes have been
made and will be made in the states
revenue laws by the tenth Washing
ton legislature, changes which the
authors claim will contribute vastly to
the more equitable adjustment of tax
burdens among the people All meas
ures of this class presented have all
been given prompt consideration.
Some have already become laws, sew
eral others have already been signed
by the governor and will become laws
at the end of the constitutional 80
days, while practically all the more
important ones have been disposed of
by the legislature or will be within the
next few days.
Probably the most important of these
measures, so far as its present effect
upon the adjustment of tax burdens is
concerned are house bill No. 1872.
which authorizes the tax commission
to assess all railroad and street rail
way property, and house bill No 256.
which authorizes the commission to
assess the property of telegraph CON-
panles. While these two measures do
not become effective for the assess
ment of 1907 it is probable that the
fact that the commission will make an
assessment next year will inspire
county assessors to make much
higher assessment this year than 9th.
erwise would have been made, giving
immediate action.
1t is estimated by the members of
the commission that railroad values
will be increased so to $50 per cent
within two years after the law be.
comes operative. Both these meas,
ures have passed both houses, and
the railroad assessment bill is al
ready signed by the governor.

New Ruling by Hanford.

Judge c. H, Hanford of the United
states district court, in a decision
handed down in the case of Plummer
against the Northern Pacific railroad,
holds that the employers liability act,
passed by congress in 1906, is consti-
tutlonal. and is legislation entirely
within the powers of congress to en-
act. This is the first decision af-
hrming the constitutionality of the act.
Two federal judges, one at Louisville
and one at Nashville, have held that
the law was not valid. The matter
is now up on appeal to the supreme
court of the United States.
