OLDEST OFFICIAL
TO QUIT SERVICE
DEEP CREEK" JONES, IL YEARS
ON BOARD OF CONTROL,
TO RETIRE.

H. T. deep Creek" Jones, we'll and
popularity known among the Demo
Gratis of the state, chairman of the
state board of control and dean of
all Washington state officials, has
announced that he will not be can
didate for reappointment when his
present term expires, March 81, 1915,
but will retire with record of IL
years consecutive service. No other
state official approaches Mr.. Jones'
record except Auditor Clausen, who
is serving his tenth year.
Mr.. Jones, a Democrat, was ap-
pointed member of the board of con-
troll by Governor. Mcbride. Republi-
can, April /, 1908, succeeding Ernest
Lister, now governor. Mr.. Lister,
under Governor Rogers, organized
the first boaro of control and was its
chairman.
Three succeeding Republican gov
errors, Albert Mead, Samuel Co.'S
grove and M. E. Hay, retained Mr..
Jones as minority member of the
board, while naming their own
friends as other members, the law re-
quiring that not more than two men,
bers of the board shall belong to the
same political party. Not until Gov
ernor Lister came into office nearly
two years ago did Mr.. Jones become
Ia majority member of the board.
The changes in administration dur
ing Mr.. Jones' long service have given
him no less than IL colleagues. many
already forgotten in Washington's po-
litical history. The II have been c.
s. Reed, now warden of the Minneso-
ia state penitentiary; Grant Neal,
Jesse Mills, J. H. Davis, still prom
inent politician; M. F. Kincaid, Eu-
gene Lorton, H. e. Gillian, A. E.
Cagwin, e. D. Cowen, Frank c. Morse
and Herman w. Ross. The last two
are present members of the board,
but Mr.. Ross has resigned, effective
December /, and. the appointment of
a successor by Governor Lister will
mean a twelfth man associated with
Mr.. Jones during his service.
Mr.. Jones is so years old. He Is
undecided whether he will continue
his residence in Olympia or retire to
his Spokane county ranch at Deep
Creek.

PAPERS COMMENT ON
USE OF INITIATIVE
DISCUSS NEW LEGISLATION PLAN
IN LIGHT OF RECENT
ELECTIONS.
Abusing u Good Law.
(ColfaX Commoner.)

The initiative and referendum law
is good. The principle is all right,
but the law is being abused. 1t was
the plan of those who first inaugur-
ated or advocated these measures
to give the people voice in the max
ing of laws, and when there was a
popular demand for certain laws and
the legislature failed to make them
the people could do so by their votes.
This is good democratic government.
But the law allowing the people to
vote for measures desired is being
abused. 1t is so that any crank with
a pet idea, no matter how absurd or
how much against the interest of the
general public, can have it voted up
on at any regular election if he can
get enough signatures to his petition
Laws that only a few general peo-
pie, who pay no taxes, want are put
up to be voted on by the people.
Washington just voted on 10 meas
ures through the initiative and refer
endum. Oregon voted on 81 and
California voted on ~ at the last
election. In Washington all but two
prohibition and anti-employment
gencies--were voted down by over
whelming majorities, showing that

TAX BOARD WOULD
EQuAl|zE SYSTEM
REVIEWS RECOMMENDATION FOR
'@ AMENDMENT PERMITTING
CLASSIFICATION.

I Pointing out that personal property
pays but Is per cent of the taxes in
this state, the remaining IS per cent
being borne by real estate, and de-
claring that uniformity of taxatino is
impossible under the present consti-
|tutional provision, the state tax COM
mission, in it's biennial report lust
issued. submits strong recomrnen-
dalton for the passage of a constitu-
tional amendment it proposes and
Which 1t believes will materially rem
edy the tax situation in this state
by insuring greater equality.
The essential features of the
amendment that we PROPOSE" the re-
port says, ARE that taxes shall be
Uniform upon the same class of SUBJ
jects, which is, In effect, recognition
Of the fundamental principle that all
property has not the same taxpaying
ability and that the legislative
authority of the state should be per-
mitted to classify property for the
purpose OF taxation"
| After referring to the present con-
stitutional requirements, 1t says:
The foregoing sections of our
constitution have thus far provided
an effective bar to reformation OF
our system Of taxation. BY them VIC
are limited to the general property
tax system which has been tried in
almost every civilized country in the
world, and by almost all of the sta
in the Union, and finally discarded as
wrong in principle and impossible OF
application.
Says Fundamentals Disregarded.
Eat first glance it appears that a
system that requires all property to
be taxed at a uniform rate in proper
tion to its fair money value is as
nearly perfect system as human in
telligence can devise. This system
disregards, however, namely, that
duty to support government rests up
on the individual as we'll as upon
property, and that all property has
not the same taxpaying ability.
"The general property tax may be
applied with reasonable success and
justice when the bulk of the prop
erty of state or nation consists OF
lands, goods and chattels of tan
gible character such as usually at
tached to and are part of agricultural
property and products.
Intangible Personality Escapes.
Personal property in this state
pays approximately Is per cent while
real estate pays IS per cent of the
total taxes. Those conversant with
the facts are well aware that this is
out Of all proportion to the wealth
represented by the two classes OF
property. That is not all of the in.
equality, however. The personal
property that pays Is per cent of the
total tax is almost all tangible per-
sonal property, whereas it is mat.
ter of common knowledge that vast
wealth is represented in this state by
what is known as intangible person
atty.
For the fifth time in 10 years the
tax commission of the state of Wash
inpton ia asking the legislature to
submit to the people an amendment
to Article 7 of the state constitu-
tion."
