STANDPOINT WON
SECOND GAME
Tigers Defeat Local Baseball Nine By
Score Of Nine to Seven---
Won By Scratch
NOT ENTITLED TO TWO SCORES
Blocked Ball Play Loses Game For
Home Team

In a game which was intensely
interesting although errors and
poor fielding were plentiful and
the pitchers allowed a total of 20
hits, Standpoint won from Boomers
Ferry by a score of nine to seven
on the local diamond Sunday after
noon. The Standpoint aggregation
sustained its reputation for being
the worst bunch of 'beefers" in
the country and disguised the
spectators in its several attempts
to bull-doze the umpires.
Sundays game was Boomers
Ferry's from start to finish. The
local nine was in the lead in the
eighth inning by two scores.
With two men on bases Catcher
Hayes let drop ball which hit the
corner of the home plate, pass him
and it was picked up by a small
boy among acrowd of fans along
the sidelines. Standpoint fans
stepped in front of the boy and for
several minutes the Boomers Ferry
catcher was unable to find the ball.
In the meanwhile Catcher White
for Standpoint was tipped off that
ball was lost and coached the
Standpoint men to home from third
, and second base. 1t was a clear
!. case of blocked BALI and be-
cause the umpires had not seen the
play the. scores were allowed Ito
| count and Standpoint got away with
deliberate steal. Following this
disheartening event Boomers Ferry
went up in the air.. Saunders
few out. MCGEE was hit by a
pitched ball and Hoffman walked.
White hit to the left field and Nc
Gee scored when Richie hit q
liner down to first base which was
helded by Thurkettle too late to
cut off Richie at first when De-
Wolf covered the sack. The other
score was made the first part of
the inning by Navarro who went
, to second on an overthrow by Bar
l ton to first.
Boomers Ferry started the game
off in whirlwind style and took
three scores in the first inning, five
out of the eight men at bat making
e clean hits. In the second inning
y Boomers Ferry made one score.
n Conner made a poor decision in
d calling De Wolf out at second but
f evened matters in an equally poor
l. decision when he called Hoffman
y out at third in the third inning.

TREASURER IS
TAX COLLECTOR
Supreme Court Upholds Amendment
to State Constitutions Approved
at Last Election
TEST CASE BRINGS DECISION
Assessors to Turn Over Books to
County Treasurer

The constitutional amendment
adopted by the electors of this state
last fall making the county trea-
surer of the respective counties of
the state ex-ofiicio tax collectors, is
self-operative, according to an
opinion handed down last week by
the supreme court in the case of
Maud Lowry Cleary versus
William A. Kincaid, in which an
application for a writ of mandate
was made by Mrs. Cleary, who is
treasurer of Ada county, against
Mr.. Kincaid, who is county assess
or of the same county to compel
the county assessor to turn over
the books and property used and
required by the tax collector, per-
hitting the county treasurer to
perform the duties of tax collector.
The opinion is written by Justice
Stewart and concurred in separate
ly by both Chief Justice Ailshie
and Justice Sullivan. The two
latter justices fail to concur with
all the conclusions reached by JUS
tice Stewart but both agree with
him that the amendment is self
operative.
The courts opinion will result
in every assessor in the state turn
ing his books and accounts over to
the county treasurer, who will be
required to receive all taxes paid
into the county when they are due.
The object of the amendment was
to give the county treasurers the
duties attached to the collection OF
taxes and thereby relieve the
county assessors by giving them
more time to assess property
The test case was a friendly one
instituted by Mrs. Cleary and Mr.
Kincaid after the latter had re-
fused to turn the books relating tc
the collection of taxes over to her
She then petitioned the court for &
writ of mandamus to compel hin
to deliver over the books.
The syllabus of the opinion set:
forth the courts construction o.
the constitutional amendment a:
follows:
"First-Constitutional provi
sions are self-executing when Their,
is a manifest intention that they
should go into immediate effect
and no ancillary legislation is nee
essary to the enjoyment of the
right given or the enforcement o
any duty. This is to be deter
mined from a consideration both o
the language used and of the in
trinsic nature of the provision it
self. If the nature and extent o
the right conferred and of the liza
bility imposed is fixed by the pro
vision itself so that they can b
determined by the examinatio
and construction of its own terms
and there is no language used in
dicating that the subject is referre
to the legislature for action, the
the provision should be construe
as self-executing and its languae
as addressed to the courts.
