This decision of the supreme court
will have no bearing on the delinquent
taxes that County Treasurer McGilli-
cuddy is now trying to clean up, as
he is making no effort to go back
farther than 1908. The fact that
those taxes were permitted to run sd
long is no creditable reflection upon
the management of the offices of
county treasurer. sheriff and the COM
missioners, if the delinquencies were
certified up to them.
There is not the slightest doubt
that the county is entitled to all
taxes that have not been paid, and
there is absolutely no dispute about
the ability to collect. If the debtor
is beyond reach of the collecting Off.
Ger through the negligence of an Off
cial that official and his bonds are
liable for such negligence, and in JUS
tice to the county, and to the big
majority who paid, this liability should
be strictly enforced.

SUPREME COURT
ON BACK TAKES
High Court Reverses Former
Decision Regarding Collec-

OFFICIALS NEGLIGENT
Taxes in Question Were 10
Years Old. Chehalis Coun-
ty Taxes Unaffected

OLYMPIA, Oct. 23.-In a decision
handed down the supreme court re-
verses it's previous decision in the
Spokane case of Frank H. Graves, APP
pellant, against George e. Stone, sher-
if and z. Stewart, treasurer Of Spo-
kane county, and also reverses the
Spokane county court by directing
that the county officials be restrained
in their efforts to collect the personal
taxes levied against Graves for the
year 1900. 1t appears that the Spo-
kane county records fail to show that
Graves paid any personal taxes in
1900. In 1910 Spokane county Off
Gals started suit to collect. Graves
asserted he had paid, but could pro-
duce no tax receipts or stubs of
checks to show he had. The county
depended entirely upon the fact that
been paid
The supreme court declares that
while the statute of limitations does
not apply to taxes, the fact that the
county treasurer never sent notice of
the delinquency to Graves, neglected
to certify the fact that the taxes had
not been paid to the county commits
sioners, as provided by law; failed to
include the delinquent personal tax
with the real estate taxes as they
had right to do, and then allowed
the matter to run for 10 years. at
least four years longer than it takes
to outlaw any debt, the court holds
that there can be no recovery. This
upsets the previous decision.
The majority opinion was written
by Judge Parker and was signed by
Judges Grow. chief Justice; Gose.
Mount, Chadwick and Fullerton.
Judges Main, Ellis and Norris dis
sent, and announce that in their opin-
ion the decision previously returned
is right and should be upheld.
