POLL TAX LAW
CONSTITUTIONAL
Supreme Court ReyerSes Decision i'm
the Ide CaSe-JuStice Rudlsin
Writes Decision.

Olympia, Sept. 2S.-The supreme
court today in part reversed its ia
nous poll-tax decision of 1905 in the
case of the city of Port Townsend
VS.. c. w. Ide, wherein the poll-taX
law of 1890 was declared unccnsti-
tutional
The decision today, sustaining the
poll-taX law of 1905, was written by
Justice Rudkin, and concurred in by
Justices Grow, Fullerton and Lun-
bar, bare minority of the court;
Justice Mount dissented.
The differences between the ssa-
tute of 1890 and that of 1905 is
pointed out. the former attempting
to exempt members of volunteer fire
companies, while the latter eXempts
only male inhabitants under the age
of 81 years
May Classify Subjects.
In his opinion Justice Rudkia
says:
The people of this State in adopt
ing constitution did not hope to
attain the unatainable. They Hid
not propose to send the tax-gatherer
to the almshouse, the orphan asylum
or the nursery, nor did they propose
to lay a tax on the inmates of these
INC Ifl1Yi In Of Eny-
fully understood that if street or
road poll-taX should be imposed
certain classes of persons would of
necessity be exempt from the impo-
sition''
Continuing. the opinion says:
After full consideration of the
questions presented We are satisfied
that the uniformity rule OF taxation
does not forbid proper classifica-
ton of the subjects of the tax, that
the classification complained of is
reasonable and proper, is sanctioned
by usage and violates no provision
of the state constitution.
In conclusion the court directs that
in so far as the case OF the city of
Port Townsend VS.. c. w. Ide con-
fiicts with this opinion, the Ide case
is Overruled
The opinion handed down today
was in the case of the town of Tekoa,
respondent, VS.. James E. Reilly, ap-
pellant, involving the collection of a

this valley the following tribute:
The Wenatchee World announces
that everybody works in that rich
valley of the big red apple There

rich are there, but they work along
side the day laborers The girls are
in the orchards and at the market
places, engaged in picking and pack

the dignity of labor is upheld, ani
idleness is regarded as a crime The
hired man of this year may be a sue
cessful rancher with a good bank &C

the country what it IS, and none are
so forgetful as to look with disfavOr
upon that which forms the basis of
wealth in the fruitful orchards and
gardens.
