PROPOSAL TO AMEND TAX LAW.
Draft of Bill Forwarded to Chair
man of House Committee.

In order to complete and maintain a
proper record for purposes of assessment
of real property in the District the Com
mssioners today forwarded to Chairman
Smith of the House District committee
the draft of a bill which proposes to
amend the tax law of the District. The
object of this amendment is to preclude
the failure of an assessment against a
piece of real property on account of the
omission of the name Of the owner or
owners or the giving of the assessment
in the wrong name.
The present law on this point provides
"Ali real property must be assessed in
the name of the owner or trustee or
trustees Of the owner thereof All un-
divided real property of a deceased per-
son may be assessed in the name of such
deceased person until the same is divided
according to law, or otherwise passed into
the possession of some other person OF
persons and all real property the owner
ship of which is unknown shall be as
sessed Owner unknown
According to the Commissioners. this
requirement leads to very serious en-
barrasSment and in many instances ii
is impossible to ascertain the name OF
the person having title to the property
as where the owner in whose name the
property has been assessed has died and
where doubt exists as to the names OF
the owners of such property who are
living.

The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1908-04-02

Judge Mills that Mr.. Russell was
admitted to the bar. Judge Ives
followed, and then came William
Watts, who is the present Judge of
the Fourteenth district.
Coming to the bench of Beltrami
county, Marshall A. Spooner was
the first judge of the new Fifteenth
district, who was claimed for the
bench of this county,, Judge Nc.
Clenahan being claimed by the dis
trict at large. Both judges were
loved and respected, Judge Spooner,
as local jurist, being especially loved.
and the bar of the whole district
wished him Godspeed to his new
home.
The speaker declared it was the
dream of every attorney to eventu-
ally sit on the bench before the final
accounting came, where there were
no demurrers. Mr.. Russell concluded
his speech with very witty allusion
to the struggles of the average
young lawyer.
TO C.. c.. Mccarthy of Grand
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1908-04-02

Rapids was given the toast "Our
Retiring Judge" and Senator Nc
earthly responded in a manner that
left no doubt of his feelings of sin
cere regret for the departure of Judge
Spooner.
The speaker deplored the brief
notice that had been given to him
of his assignment, but retorted with
the assertion that he would derive
considerable satisfaction in . getting
even" with the judge and indicating
to his successor just what was in
store for that gentleman should he
conceive the intention of rendering
his resignation, later.
The senator noticed that the COM
mittee had massed the Irish in
assigning toasts, there being Pat"
(Mr. RusselD followed by Mac"
(Mr. Mccarthy, and where Pat"
had spoken Mac" might follow
with due propriety.
Mr.. Mccarthy stated that the
greatest factor in civilization, pro-
gress and human advancement was
the law. Law was breathed into
the very life Of every civilized
country. Take away law, and we
would have no right. Law, how
ever, would be practically useless
were it not for the honest and the
faithful administering of the same
by the courts. The courts are over
the juries, and over the attorneys. An
able, faithful, conscientious judge
was one of the greatest officers
we could possibly have.
The Fifteenth judicial district,
said the speaker, during the past
five years Of its development, has
had poetic and heroic times. Mr..
Mccarthy had read of the early
days of the courts in Ohio and else
where, and the past five years of the
Fifteenth district has developed
more strenuous times than had
been experienced in Ohio.
When Judge Spooner assumed his
duties as the associate Judge OF
the Fifteenth district, he came as
a scholarly, well-read lawyer of large
practice, we'll qualified for the posi-.
ton to which he had been ap.
pointed.
Since that time the judge had
held terms of court regularly in all
counties of the district, and had
given general satisfaction to the
bar and the people generally.
i Judge Spooner and Judge Nc.
