CHARTER MUST
Be AMENDED
IF HEALTH BOARD Is RE.
ORGANIZED, BUT THERE ARE
RULESA ENOUGH NOW II
THEY WERE ENFORCED.

Proposed reorganization Of the
city health department has encoun-
tered Il snag in the city charter.
The latter provides all sorts OF
rules and regulations governing the
board. and the only method OF
practical rejuvenation Is a charter
amendment doing away with the
old provisions and substituting the
new.
Corporation Counsel Conner as
certained this in attempting to
draw up reorganization or
dinance on the lines agreed upon
by the special committee. In con-
sequence he will recommend that
the reorganization movement be
dropped until the charter revision
problem can be solved.
AS a matter of fact, the pres
ent- ordinances governing the
board OF health contain rules, re-
strictions and legal prescriptions
enough now to take care of civic
health IL they were enforced. Be-
cause they are so voluminous and
numerous is perhaps the reason
why they have not been enforced.
There are more things In these
ordinances than are dreamed of in
any health officers philosophy.
For instance. II Is ordained that
the health officer shall report to
the chief of police, superintendent
of schools, principals of private
schools and superintendent of the
public library names and resi-
dences of people afflicted with con-
tagious disease. There Is no evil
dence to convict Spokane health
officers of obeying this order. The
health officer is also required by
law to be at the office from $3.50
TO 1890 q. m. and Q to p. m.
daily. He is required to attend
the INDECENT sick and vaccinate all
children when ordered to do so
by the board OF health. The way
laid down for him In respect to
sanitation covers about everything
that ever occurred to the council
manic mind on the subject.
Under the present system. how.
ever, the mayor appoints the
board of health and after they are
appointed the city officials lose
control of them. Whether the
health officer is doing his duty or
not Is left largely a matter Of
guesswork.
DR.. Cirieve has resigned once and
then reconsidered to the extent of
serving until the reorganization
scheme Is put IN motion. This
scheme contemplates paying the
health officer good salary and
recurring hW'1o devote all his
time to cit,ThNalth affairs, The
charter bar to,owsN action leaves
the question mebeIy more muddled
than IL was before.

efused in the future if motion

refused in the future if motion made by Commissioner West today is approved by his colleagues on the board of district commissioners. En. gineer Commissioner Judson has an- nounced that he will support such a motion. and that indicates that the die is cast against the bill boards.
 But the move against the marring of the city's beauty by an over abun- dance of advertising signs is to go even further. Besides recommend ing that the commissioners decline to issue any more permits for bill boards or for signs on walls of houses, Com. missioner West furthers suggests that the corporation counsel determine the power of the commissioners to revoke permits for such signs already issued This is also expected to be approved Dy the ulStf1ct pOaru.
 "Foreseeing the sightliness of the city seriously marred by innumerable and yariegated signs, Commissioner West determined on this action this morning after investigating the mum Der of permits for signs issued re gently by the commissioners and after an inspection trip around the city.
 He found from the records, he announced today that in the last six months the commissioners have is sued permits for the covering of 1s2 walls of houses with advertisements and for the erection of fifty-six fences for huge display posters.

THE INCOME TAX AND HOME RULE.

When the house of representatives proposed to re-enact an inheritance tax law many protested on the ground that the states already tax inherit ances and will inevitably resort more and more to that source of revenue. Now Justice Brewer opposes the in come tax amendment to the constitu- ton on account of its possible ult.- mate effect on the poor states. which might be robbed of their vitality by the exercise of tho power demanded for the federal government.
 "what will the states do." asks the justice. "in case they need d}arge sums of money for their own revenues"
 For over a hundred years congress was recognized by the supreme court as possessing the power to levey in come taxes. It did levy them in emergencies, and no one on or oil the federal bench felt any acute ap- prehension as to the future of the states. Because the supreme court reversed itself by a vote of to f under very unusual circumstances, legal and political, it does not follow, in the opinion of the Chicago Record Herald. that the re-couferring of a power unexpectedly lost has become fraught with grave danger to the states. What congress might do" is not what 'r E. ever likely to do. Con. gress might destroy a thousand and one things by It's existing power to lew taxes and excise duties. It might destroy industries and individuals; il might srarve the federal executive by making all tarin duties actually pro h.b.tive.
 But common sense and common pru dence will not die with this genera ton. The power to levy income taxe: will not be exercised by wild mel running amuck among the states, bu by men attached to states and 10 calities, by representatives of people who value home rule n. it's best sense As a matter of fact. home rule E fiourishing as never before in spite o the steady decline of '1state rights Home rule means county and munici pal option as to various things. in cluding taxation, and legislation baset on local needs and conditions. It ha precious little to do with the abstrac doctrine of "state rights"
 In a dual government it Is not al ways possible to prevent double ia, ation,. but if the taxation is reason able and moderate. the citizen suffer no hardship.
