SEEKING TO SAVE
VALUABLE ESTATES
(National News Association


SPOKANE, WASH. April 30.-Own-
ers Of 1900 parcels of City property,
valued at from $4,000 to SIS, 000, 900, in
icluded in the tax sale made by the
municipality Of Spokane in 1892, but
never forecIosed, have hopes today of
affecting a compromise by paying SO
per cent Of the interest due. A. M. Ora
ven, corporation counsel, has given an
opinion that the city could properly
authorize a settlement Of the taxes for
less than the amount due.
The records were found in the city
itreasurer's safe by III. M. Dunphy, as
sistant corporation counsel, who sub
lmitted resolution to the commission
ers, authorizing the treasurer to de-
mand payment of the full amount, in
Guiding interest at 20 per cent a year
as provided in the delinquent certif-
Gates, also that the city take posses
sion of all properties upon which the
taxes and penalties, estimated at from
5000 to 100000 are not paid.
Under this Interpretation the delin-
quent owners would have to pay inter
est amounting to 400 per cent. on the
basis Of 20 per cent year, to redeem
their properties. Robert Fairloy, COM
missioner of finances, and other mem
bers of the council are opposed to ar
bitrary action and seem favorably dis
posed toward a compromise measure
or waving part of the 20 per cent in
terest penalty.
There is a local precedent for this
the administration of 1909, headed by
C. Herbert Moore, having passed a res
olution permitting delinquent owners
to redeem their certificates on basis
Of so per cent of the amount due, II
paid before certain date. Only few
awaited themselves of the offer at that
time.
Mr.. Dunphy does not believe this
compromise was legal. holding that the
property could not be cleared of the
lien without payment in full Mean
while, the council is awaiting com
Imittee's report.

General Writes
to Venable in Regard

In reply to a letter from County At.
torney ], H. Venable, inquiring as to
the rights Of voters in the primary
next Tuesday, Attorney General West
writes as follows:
Oklahoma City, Aug 1. 1912.
Dear Sir:
Receipt is acknowledged Of your let.
ter Of July 8lst, in which you state
that many Of the electors in Chicka-
sha in registering failed to name the
political party to which they belonged,
and the space in the registration in
which the name Of the political party
would have been written was ;cit
blank You inquire whether such per
sons can yet have their registration
certificate amended 50 that he politl.
cal party to which they belong shall
be stated.
We are informed that the state cleo
ton board has sent out instructions
to the various county election boards,
authorizing the changing of registra-
ton certificates Of those registering
as Independents to have the name OF
the political party with which they
affiliate inserted instead This office
was not consulted by the state elec-
tion board about this and We ere moi
advised whether these instructions
conform to the terms Of the recent de
eision rendered by the criminal court
OF appeals. We are Of the opinion
that in the case of electors who regis
tered and the name Of the party with
which they affiliated was not written
in the certificate, that the certificate
could yet be amended to include the
name Of the party to which the electol
belongs. Respectfully,
THE ATTORNEY GENERAY.
