greatest successes. the role of Mar

probation of the part tempcramental
fitness, supplemented by deep study.
The play is ON old one, but one IN
which people have never lost inter-
est The brief joys of the easily de-

her lover, the grief OF the worthy
Valentine whose toast had always
been his beautiful sister and the

as that used by the late Lewis Morri-

DR.. Faustus, a student VINO mas long

Fruit Trees Are Taxable.

, Olympia Fruit trees in Washing
ton are not to be exempt from assess
ment for taxation purposes. The
state tax commission so ruled in a for
NAL opinion to the assessor of Chelan
county. 1t has been the custom in
many sections of the state to exempt
fruit trees, but there is no authority
for this under the constitution and Su-
preme court decisions, holds the state
tax commission, although the legisla-
ture did pass law exempting them.
The tax commission cites a decision
of the Supreme court to show that the
legislature has no power to exempt
any property from taxation. It is an
nounced by the commission that some
counties have exempted fruit trees,
while in other counties the trees are
taxed.
