Bose Capital News: That the
state equalization board has no
jurisdiction over fixed levies eth
er to raise or lower them, that it
only equalizes as between classes
Of property, and as between
counties and that the legislature
alone has this jurisdiction
is the opinion of ex-Attorney Gen
eral j. j. Guheen Of Pocatello,
who is visiting in the city. Gen
erai Guheen also takes the posi-
ton that state bonds are govern
ed by levies fixed by the legis-
lature, and that no change in in
these leyies can be made by any
individual, officer or board, and
that any effort to do so will have
following in its wake evil conse-
quences in the way of retarding
and possibly making impossible
the sale of state bonds, and like
wise that of impairing the cred
it of the state. He points out the
danger attending such an at
tempt and emphasizes that it
would be d deplorable condition
for the state if this power were
vested in an individual or a
board.
3 General Guheen is a personal
friend of Governor Hawley, and
for that matter of every other
member of the state equaliza-
ton board, and when first asked
to state his views upon this sub
ject, declined to do so, but when
asked to merely make a statement
as to the legality of the question
said: M
"Let it be understood that
what / say is not in the way of
eritism Of Governor Hawley or
any other member of the board.
Now, with reference to the re-
cent order of the state board of
equalization in which it instruct
ed the assessors to assess all pro
perty at full cash valuation,
am informed that practically all
members of the board, except
the governor take the position
that this resolution was passed
without due consideration, anC
that they subsequently discover
ed that they were exceeding thei
authority in attempting to exer
else any authority or jurisdic
ton over the county assessor
and county commissioners. Thei
position in this matter is correct
as they have no power in this re
spect what ever, neither has Gov
ernor Hawley, as member O
the state board of equalization
and any authority he may exer
else or attempt to exercise owe,

law fixes the duties of the asses
sors and it prescribes that the,
shall assess all property at full
cash value, but cash valuation is
matter solely within the judgmen
of the assessor and he is respon
sible to the people and not to tn
state board of equalization, an
his judgment cannot be interior
ed with by them. These propo
sitions are fundamental and ar

Washington's Proud Boast.
From the Omaha Bee


1t is so comforting to hear now and
then something good about our American
cities that what Gen. John A. Johnston
says of Washington. D. c., will bear
repeating Gen. Johnston, who is one
of the three Commissioners who, with
the assistance of Congress, govern the
District of Columbia, declares that Wash
ington is a city without graft where
every dollar appropriated for city pur-
poses is so expended. and that already
it is one of the most beautiful capitals in
the world. Washington, of course. has
no city council or other such governing
bodies. and to this is attributed the abb
sence of graft. This, inferentially, be-
comes a severe structure upon such func-
tionares in other cities. What we Amer
leans are hoping for is the day when such
thing cannot with impunity be said.
But what a great thing it would be If it
could be said of all our cities that 100
cents of every dollar set aside for munich
pal purposes went into those channels
and none other The results would be re-
markable. We would have better paved
and kept streets, better lighting, better
sewerage. better regulation in every re-

Motor Fire Engines.

The motor fire engine and other fire
motors appear to be coming rapidly into
favor with fire departments, and the
prophecy is justihable that horse-drawn
fire apparatus will soon be abandoned.
1t is already obsolete. In the New York
city fire department there will be by
March. 1912, $50 motor carriages. Lon
don, Berlin and Boston are replacing the
fire department horse with the gasoline
engine. Boston is using two motor fire
engines. and proposes promptly to add
ffty pieces of motor-driven fire-fighting
apparatus. Smaller American cities are
adopting the motor engine. truck and reel.
Increased efficiency in speed, length of
runs and pumping capacity and economy
of maintenance are urged as much more
than offsetting the higher first cost.

This Is a base libel on the finest water
fruit that ever delighted the palate of
mankind. That oysters now and then
are served here in milk cannot be denied,
but they are prepared thus for visitors
from such benighted outlying districts as
Charleston. The native eats them raw,
with all the delicate flavor of nature upon
them, or fried in the cracker dust that
embalms them in toothsomeness. This
is the oyster metropolis. the place where
you get the best that ever graced a shell.

The Excise Board Inquiry.

1t is to be hoped that the investigation
conducted by the Commissioners into the
| activities OF the; excise board, precipitated
by the accusation of member of that
board by a former employe, will be thor
ough and Of A-eharaeter to insure entire
public, confidence in the findings when
they are rendered. = In an important de-
gree this board safeguards the COM
munity's Interests. Its members occupy
a dual position. as assessors of the
real estate and personal property in the
District and as quasi-judicial body in
supervision of the liquor trade in the
District. In both functions they touch
intimately the affairs of the citizens. 1t
is in the latter capacity that they are
now under inquiry, the Commissioners
having felt themselves justified in widen
the limits of the specific accusations
brought against one of the members. 1t
is due to the officials themselves. in any
case, that the whole subject be thrown
open: that technical rights be waived
to permit the testimony to cover wide
range. so that at the end the verdict will
appeal TO the community as a satisfac-
tory finding not clouded by doubt.
W1tnOut reference 10 the 1HlTle-
diateiy at issue, it is desirable that the
Commissioners should take a sharp look
into the methods and practices of this
board. 1t is incumbent upon them from
time to time to ascertain the workings
of every branch of the municipal organ
izatiOn. The average of official integrity
in this District is remarkably high. There
is an exceptional degree of public conf
dence in the administration of local af-
fairs. This confidence will not be shaken
by the spectacle of sharp investigation
of any Of the branches Of the District
government, but will rather be strength
ened. even though irregularities may be
developed and facts disclosed which call
for changes.
The Commissioners have acted wisely
in deciding to hold their inquiry in this
case in the open. A secret hearing would
defeat the best object to be held in view
that of convincing the public that what
ever eccentricities may have existed in
the past in this department., whatever de-
gree of foundation there may be for the
charge on which the proceedings are
based. there Is no disposition at the Dis
trict building to hide the facts.
