Sullivan Wants Game.

In letter received by the writer
from Pete Sullivan this week, the Salt
Lake boxer expresses a desire to get
on with Joe Cans. This is also backed
up by the coast papers, who give Pete
quite send off since his victory over
Jack O'Keeefe. and some predict he
would have a chance with the cham
pion. Pete himself says he would
rather have Cans than any of the
other fighters, because he believes he
is equally as clever as the Baltimore
champion. Pete says things are COM
ing rather smooth for him on the
coast, but he would like 10 get back to
Salt Lake if there was anything doing
in the boxing game.

Mike Will Train Them.

Although no official announcement has
been made on the subject it is likely that
as many athletes as can spare the time
will go TO Philadelphia after their seleC-
ton and put themselves in the care of
Mike Murphy at Franklin field. Although
Murphy has been named as the trainer
his duties will not begin until after the
team is officially named.
As trainer. Murphy will have A huge
task on his hands. There will probably
be between fifty and seventy-five men on
the team, all sent to him from different
trainers Murphy is too wise a man 10
attempt to change the styles of any of
his charges, and he will not interfere with
the training of the men, even if they do
not approve. Murphy appreciates that
many of his charges come from his rival
trainers, and he will therefore encourage
them to train as they have been doing.
The success of Murphy has been little
short of phenomenal. He has developed
more champion athletes than any other
man. 1t was he who brought out WefeTs

OREGON TAX LAW UNCONSTITUTIONAL

Galloway's decision means a return
to the former system of apportion-
ing taxes according to assessed valua-
tlons.
Took "BulI by lhe Horns"
Washington county evidently antlc-
ipated this decision, for the assessor
Of that county has already announced
that the assessment roll Of 1908 will
show greatly reduced valuations.
Quite likely there will now be a
stampede among all the counties to
reduce assessed valuations as rapid
ly as possible, In order to escape the
burden of state taxation. Such was
the experience when that system was
formerly in force and the Galloway
decision invites a repetition.
II Judge Galloway's decision means
return to the system Of apportion-
ment according to assessed valuation
Multnomah county will be one of the
heaviest sufferers. Under the pres
ent fixed ratio, Multnomah pays 81
per cent OF the state taxes, but under
the valuation system It would pay 40
per cent, an increase Of 30 per cent
in the amount of state taxes.
Umatllla county now pays about
five per cent of the taxes and would
be compelled to pay over seven per
cent under the valuation plan, an in
crease of 40 per cent in the amount
of its state taxes
Among the counties that would suf-
fer increased state tax burdens by the
change are Columbia, nearly 200 per
cent, Curry 20 per cent, Douglas rs
per cent, Jackson 25 per cent, Tilla-
nook so per cent, Wallowa 30 per
cent
Among the counties that would get
a material decrease in state taxes
would be Baker, slight Benton so per
cent. Clackamas 30 per cent. Harneyl
rs per cent, Lane 25 per cent, Linn so
per cent. Polk 30 per cent, Union so
per cent, Wasco 80 per cent, Wheeler
so per cent.
These figures are only approximate.
Other counties would be affected so
little that the change would not be
