State Tax Commission Wants
More Stringent Laws
WILL PROTECT ASSESSOR
Refusal to Swear Would Take
Away Power of County Board
of Equalization

OLYMPIA, Jan. 5.-That the law
should be more stringent in regard
to listing property for taxation under
oatn is the belief of the state tax
commission set out in it's biennial re-
port 1t says:
stringent law should be enacted re-
garding the listing of personal prop
erty. 1t sometimes happens that when
the assessor calls upon person for
a list of his property he is met by a
refusal on the part of the taxpayer to
list said property under oath. The
assessor, under such circumstances, is
required by our present law to list
said property according 10 his best
judgment, with the result THAT in many
cases the county board of equalization
reduces the assessment to any sum
the assessed person may request.
There is no good reason why every
taxpayer should not be willing to list
his property under oath, and there is
also no good reason why he should
not be subjected to some penalty when
he refuses to do so. We believe, when
a case of this kind occurs and the as
SCISSOR is compelled to resort to his
own Investigations to discover the
property Of the ferson asfusing to
swear or affirm, the result of such in
vestigation should stand in lieu of the
part of the county board of equaliz-
alton to disturb it.
1--WE have prepared a bill amending
section II, page 146, acts of 1897, COW
ering this question. If the legislature
will pass this measure we feel quite
sure that it will very much lessen the
evils referred to-"

agement in ordering that soldiers be
admitted and that the incident may be
considered closed.
The notice that uniforms would be

of the rink this morning.

1--WE have ony been trying to reflect
the sentiment Of the people and it was
because dozens of the most prominent
people in the city came to us and asked
us to keep the soldiers out that we
did. Many Of them were Main street
merchants" said Manager Painter.
Il am going to try the experiment
of allowing soldiers on the floor and
see how it affects the patronage of the
rink. If it cuts too deeply into our
business we will have to adopt some
other measures"
Mr.. Painter, however, assured the
newspaper men that as long as the
Armory rink was a public rink the SOL
diers in uniform would not be barred.

Wreckage From City Of Panama.
Washed Ashore
STEAMER CARRIED HUNDRED PASSENGERS
FOUND ON BEACH
HAD OARs-PoSSIBLY PRE-
PAIRING TO SAVE VICTIMS.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 5.-The tele-
phone operator at Pescadero, seven
miles from Waddel Beach, so miles
south of San Francisco, confirms the
report that two lifeboats and two RATS
bearing the name of the Pacific Mail
Steamship company's "City of Pana-
ma" which it is feared was lost, drifteo
ashore at Waddel Beach yesterday.
The message further states that there
is much other wreckage in plain sight
from the shore.
The RATS went ashore about noon
Yesterday and the boats were Washed
ashore several hours later. The ra1ts
were equipped with provisions and the
boats had oars. The boats had evident
Iv been made ready for the bringing
of passengers.
The beach is being searched for other
signs of the wreck.
1t is difficult to obtain details owing
TO the peculiar location Of the beach.
The "City of Panama, carried 10
American passengers, 25 Chinese and 20
steerage passengers. Together with the
crew. there were over a hundred per-
sons on board.
The "City of Panama" left San Fran
cisco for Aucondre. 1t is believed tha'
the vessel was caught in heavy sea
and met with disaster.

1t was declared today that the SOL

the rink two minutes last night before
he was requested to leave by the man

said he had been allowed to stay as

months of the date of marriage, the
time prescribed by law.
The failure to make the returns to
the proper officer in many cases due
to carelessness on the part of the per-
son performing the ceremony An over
sight of this character causes great
deal of trouble in making out the reg
ular reports. Two marriage returns
were found this morning, which should
have been sent to the proper officials
during the month of September.
