PRIMARY INSTRUCTIONS
Railroads VIII Combat the Tax Valuations
Fixed by the Commission

A letter sent to the secretary of state
by a candidate for county Office in
Stevens county reveals how little the
average voter knows about the primary
election law. This candidate requested
the secretary Of state to send him
enough pamphlet copies of the law to
give one to every voter in the county.
He said he had seen Fand talked with
800 voters and not rs per cent. of them
understood the provisions of the law.
The Legislature did not provide a
sufficient number Of copies for the Sec
rotary of state to give one to every
voter, and all that could be spared to
the Stevens county candidate was so
copies.
For the voters in general there are
but few things to remember. The
balloting will be much the same as at
any general election, but the elector
must designate which ballot he desires
to vote, the several political parties
having separate ballots. He makes
his choice OF candidates by the usual
"x'' mark in a square following the
name of the candidate.
The second choice provision of the
primary election law is perhaps the
least understood. Where there are
four or more candidates for any state OF
congressional Office, the voter must
designate both first and second choice
for the office. He cannot vote for the
same man for both first and second
choice and if he neglects to vote for a
second choice his first choice vote will
not be counted, or if he votes for only
a second choice, that vote will not be
counted. The second choice provision
does not apply to judges of the supreme
or superior courts, nor to county OF
legislative Offices.

]. w. Schmidt, who had the contract
to do the brick work on the power
house for the big electric plant two
miles west OF town died very suddenly
in the Overland Hotel last Friday after

ment. Friday afternoon DR.. Hoxsey
was called to see him but when he ar
rived Mr.. Schmidt was dead. The
body was turned over to Undertaken

to Superior, Wisconsin, the home of
deceased. Mr.. Schmidt was member

market value. Railroad companies
have had a dozen or more agents in
the field for several months checking
up real estate transfers with the assessed
valuations placed upon the property
transferred. If the railroads can show
conclusively that the tax commission S
figures on railroad properties are greater
in proportion than those on other prop
erty the railroads will have good case
to get into court on, if the tax com
mission itself does not reduce the
figures.
The railroads are reserving the fight
for the meeting of the state board OF
equalization in September. The tax
commissions figures are subject to
review by the board of equalization, but
the three members of the tax commits
sion are members of the other board
which also includes the state auditor
and the state land commissioner. The
tax commissioners therefore can con-
troll the state board of equalization if it
sees fit to do so.
The value Of railroad property will
be fixed by the tax commission for
assessment purposes at about $780,
100000. Last year the assessed value
was fixed at SAT 100000 in round
numbers.

Candidates for state and congress
sional offices who desire first place on
the primary election ballot put repres-
entatives in line at the door of the Sec
rotary of states office on the afternoon
of July Q. Six boys formed in line on
that day and before the end of the week
more than score of boys were in the
line.
The formation OF the line followed
Immediately after the announcement
by the secretary of state that places on
the ticket would not be chosen by lot,
but by the order in which declarations
Of candidacy were received. Mr..
Nichols also made the rule that one per-
son could file but one declaration.
The persons in line are not subjected
to any great hardship. They must be
there only during the Office hours of
the secretary Of state. That Office
opens at 9 am. and closes at A pm.
and of course is not open on Sundays
or legal holidays. The first ones in
line had but five actual days to spend
on the task Each evening the rec
rotary OF state makes a record of the
persons in line and if all are on hand
at 9 am. the next day they assume the
places of the evening before.
In some counties where the auditors
are following the same method as that
adopted by the secretary of state, can
didates for county Offices put repres-
entatives in line on July /. This was
true in King county.

1t is not expected that the railroad
companies will accept quietly the
trebling of their assessed valuation by
the tax commission this year. The
commission months ago informed the
railroad tax agents that it would adopt
90 per cent. of the market value OF the
railroads as ascertained by the railroad
commission as the figure upon which
taxes shall be levied by the county
assessors this year.
The tax agents will not attempt to
combat the findings of the railroad
commission as that would be the height
of inconsistency. The railroads have
been claiming much higher valuations
than those fixed by the railroad COM
mission, before the commerce COM
mission, perhaps because upon the
latter's valuations will be determined
the question of the reasonableness Of
freight and passenger rates. The rail-
roads cannot claim high value for
rate making purposes and low one for
tax purposes on all Of their holdings,
although they are entitled to make
difference in some classes Of property,
perhaps.
The loophole they are attempting to
get through is to show that other
property in the state is not assessed on
the valuation of 90 per cent. OF its
