what We consider to be d most excel
 lent taxation measure
 We respectfully submit for your con
 sideration the following suggestions
 and changes which We believe will he
 or benefit to the taxpayers as d whole:
 First: Section l-Why should not
 the policy of limiting the county to an
 Increase of ten per cent in revenue ap-
 ply to the state as well as to the
 county?
 Second: Section Why should not
 the budget principle be extended to the
 state as we'll as to the county?
 Third: Section 28.-As a matter of
 economy to the county and justice to
 the individual. an exemption of any
 amount up to S100 we believe, should
 be extended to all taxpayers who do
 not own or control any property whose full cash value does not exceed s1OO.
 the property owner to place the value oi thlS property on the assessment blank furnished him for that purpose and also make affidavit that he does not own or control any property whose total full cash value exceeds $10O and return the same to the assessor: and that the assessor shall not enter upon the rolls any assessment which is $1OO or less.
 Fourth: Section 26.-We believe the policy of dividing the penalty that is imposed upon the taxpayer for con- cealing or misrepresenting his property IS wrong in principle and places a premium on informers-a class of men tc,, ;1L states have found under similar legis- laton does not accomplish the desired result We thoroughly believe in the heavy penalty provided for taX-dodg- ing, but are convinced that by elimin- ating the premium on informing that the law will be greatly strengthened, Fifth: Section 43-The phrase 'rais- es and increases is used. Why not also use the word deductions, in or der to properly authorize equalization? The assessor places the valuations on property, and the taxpayer should have the right to ask for reductions and the board of equalizatio authority to make them. As wOrded at present the authority conferred is vague
 Sixth: Suggestions for modifica- tiOn-That the assessor be required to send to each taxpayer by mail. at least two weeks before the board of cquali- Zation meets, a copy of his assessment for the ensuing year, together with the amount of his tax, in order that the taxpayer may have an opportunity to examine the same and make any pro- tests or objections when the board of equalization meets This plan will save q great deal of unnecessary work which now falls upon the tax collector in answering inquiries regarding taxes and which is of no assistance to the taxpayer. This modification is sug gested in the interest of the mass of taxpayers who do not as rule keep their taxation matters in hand. and

SUIT FOR DAMAGES
 INVOLVES MANY
Result Of Collapse of the Wells
 Building

The trial of the damage suit of J. L. La Pointe against Judge E. w. Wells. Contractor Therlkeld and Building Inspector J. NJ. Creighton was begun in superior court yester- day morning This is one of several actions growing out of the collapse of the roof of the Wells building on West Adams street on September | of last year when several Workmcn, among them the plaintiff in this case were injured.
 There was an imposing array of attorncys in court for each of the defendants and his own counsel so that it was rather an uneven strug- gle on the part of counsel for the plaintiff. He encountered difficulty in getting before the jury the fac. that Guy Romans in charge of work was the foreman for Mir Threikeld at the time of the accident Romans is the motorcyclcman who was killed one day during the fair.
 An attempt was made to show by the plaintiff that he was acting un- der the orders of Romans when he went to the place where he received his injuries. His reply to the ques- tion whether as foreman of the con stTuction he was agent for the de- fendants was stopped by an objection Then MT. Threlkel,l though one of the defendants Was put on for the plaintiff and he produced the con tract between himself and Judge Wells. That was finally got before the jury but late in the afternoon when the Romans episode was reach ed, the defense raised another objec tion. An argument was precipitateo and the jury was discharged unti 1 II o'clock this morning.

ate bill limiting counties to an increase of revenue of ten per cent above that of the preceding year was met with the objection that that would be an inter ference with the powers of the legis- lature granted it by the constitution. The second suggestion for the eXten- sion of the budget system to the state. met with the approval of all the mem hers of the joint committee. As to the third suggestion for the eX- emption of any amount Of property up to slQ0 the committee did not offer an expression
 The fourth suggestion regarding the division with an informer of the pen alty imposed for concealing or mis- representing the value of property. which the report believed to be wrong in principle. was very fully discussed. No action was taken on this suggestion by the committee but the members said that # would be given full considera < ton.
 The fifth recommendation urging that power be given to boards of equal iZation to reduce assessments as well as to raise them brought out the state ment that he bill had already been amended in that respect.
 The sixth recommendation that the assessor be compelled to send to each taxpayer at least two weeks before the meeting of the board of -equaliza- tion q copy of his assessment, together with the amount of his tax developed some adverse sentiment but the com mittee agreed to take it under consid eraion.
 The committee stated with reference to the seventh recommendation con corning senate bill 3 that that had all ready been compiled with.

who, under the present system, find that their complaints are of no avail as the board of equalization has already met and taxation matters for the year closed. only in fragrant cases are tax payers given any redress. and then through the board of supervisors re- hitting only the amounts paid in eX cess Of the intention of the assessing officers. Under the plan suggested each taxpayer would know in advance what his taxes are; and in order to further inform him a memorandum should be placed upon the statement giving the data of the meeting of the board of equalization and of his right 10 appear before the board.
 Seventh Tn reference to senate bill No 3. which we understand is also be- fore Y0ur cOmmittc, we believe that by centralizing power and responsibility in the state tax commission, as provided in this bill many of the difficulties in our previous taxation system will be eliminated. and it seems to thoroughly supplement senate bill No. 2. Fur thermore. it is in harmony with the action of the electors on this important subject at the last election in which this matter was definitely referred to the people. We have no criticism of this bill, and deem it as a whole an excel lent measure. We would call your at tention. however, to the apparent con- flict in article ,, section : with article of the same section. In article ?. sec nm. n Ui n power to raise or reduce assessments of definite classes of property without limit Tn article f of the same section the state board is restricted to increas- ing the assessments as fixed by the board of supervisors and cannot de crease the same
