NEW NJ AROLE BILL
-MUDOLES TAX LAWS
ANXIETY TO ATTACK LISTER RE.
SUITS N CONFUSION OF
STATUTES.

III It's fPNcrlSN anxiety TO take away
from Governor Listers control of the
state board Of equalization, the recent
Legislature has brought about such a
muddled condition of the state laws
relative to taxation that the courts
may have to be called upon to UNI
tangle the difficulty before county
boards of equalization can meet this
year.
In 1909 the legislature passed an
act making the county assessor eX-
Ottcio clerk of the county board of
equalization and giving him the duty
of extending the tax rolls, which pre-
viously had been delegated to the
county auditor. The McArdle bill,
removing members of the state tax
commission from the state board of
equalization, also provides in it's last
paragraph:
Gives Auditor Authority.
1T shall be the duty of the county
auditor in each county when he shall
have received the report of the state
auditor, as provided in section 9205,
to determine the rates per cent nee
essary to raise the taxes required for
state purposes as determined by the
state board of equalization, and place
the same on the tax rolls of the coun-
ty as provided by law
This was copied from the old law,
Representative L. d. McArdle of JEFF
ferson county, or whoever drafted
this bill for him, evidently being ig
norant of the fact that this law had
been repealed by the act of 1909,
making the assessor a member of the
county board of equalization instead
of the auditor and charging the as
SCISSOR with the duty Of extending the
tax rolls.
Whether the provision in the par
the procedure outlined in section
92O5, will serve to re-enact all of the
old law, thereby superseding the act
of 1909, is question upon which
state officials are in doubt.
To Ask for Opinion.
The state tax commission is con-
sidering the matter carefully and
probably will ask Attorney General
w. V. Tanner to render an official
opinion before it is time for the coun-
ty boards of equalization to meet. as
the present muddled condition Of the
law makes it uncertain whether the
assessor or auditor is to sit on
the county board of equalization,
although the work of extending the
tax rolls apparently is definitely
taken away from the assessor and
placed inthe hands of the auditor
again.
The bill changing the composition
of the state board Of equalization,
which has brought this situation
about, is one of the group of three
so-called "McArdle bills" to take con-
troll of the land board, the board of
equalization and the tax commission
from Governor Lister. Governor
Lister vetoed all three bills. The
first named two were passed over his
veto, but the tax commission bill was
not repassed.

Hood River. He came here in blossom
time, tasting the delights of the littl,
home valley at Mrs. Alma HOwe's Cot

SUNDAY CLOSING

What wave of morality is suddenly
sweeping over us A Sunday closing
law, enacted in 1854 and providing that
any business institution, other than
drug stores, doctors shops, livery sta
bleS and undertaking establishments,
must be closed on Sundays, has been
dug up Some contend that the law
has been repealed in the half century
intervening. Others contend that it is
IN existence and should be enforced
Dan kcllaher. Portland grocer, tried
last week and found guilty, was fined
the sum of S25 He will take the case
TO the supreme court
The law may exist. We will offer no
expert exposition or argument as to
the status of the statute. But we do
hope that the public sentiment of the
state is not approaching that of the
days of the old blue laws of early New
England history
A limited lid on Sunday activities
may all be very we'll, hut radical Sun
day closing laws seem repugnant TO US
Sunday, of course, is day of rest. and
is so considered. However. we recall
the effects of very rigid such laws. the
strict enforcement of which gave the
semblance of farce to the actions of
officers working under them.

SEEK STANDARD
FOR FRUIT PACK
Growers Will Learn Method at
National Apple Show in
Spokane.

For the service department OF the
eighth National Apple show, which
will be held at Spokane November 10
TO 20. a big demonstration has been
arranged In an effort to secure uni
form standard Of grade and pack in
all northwestern fruit districts.
The future OF the hox apple bust
ness must be based on a uniform
standard OF grade and pack applying
to all districts" states w. p. Romans,
superintendent of exhibits The
greatest difficulty has been experiene-
ed this year in reaching that uniform
ity because printed words never mean
exactly the same thing to different
men. The only way that an absolute
uniformity can be secured is by dem
onstration and comparison with the
| fruit itself That way will be pro
yided by the apple show.
THE leading shippers and packers
in each district are preparing displays
| that will illustrate perfectly the range
of fruit that they understand should
| be permitted within the limits of each
/ grade and pack These displays Will
| be placed in immediate proximity to
/ each other at the National Apple show
| in order that comparisons may be
made with the fruit. Especially is
| this important because Of the practi-
/ cal demonstrations that ii will give to
| the growers themselves. At certain
hours each day the displays will be
discussed in detail and the growers
questions answered.
Agencies viii Help.
Five OF the leading fruit packing
and grading agencies have already
agreed to enter these demonstrations,
! illustrating the methods in use in
four districts.
THE purpose OF each entry will be
to make a complete and thorough dem
onstration of the methods OF grading
and packing In use in handling the
standard winter varieties OF apples by
each shipper or district, including
grading by color, size and biemishes
THE purpose OF each exhibit will
not be to see how perfect package
can be put up but to make selection
that will be Of value in showing the
fruit In such a way that the grower
can see with his own eyes what apples
he is Justified In including in eacf
grade and exactly how he can hesl
make each pack.
During the period OF the Nationa
Apple show the expert accompanying
each demonstration will spend stat
ed thirty minutes each day at his
exhibit, answering questions and ex
planning to the growers the reasons
for each feature of grade and pack
These periods Of explanation will b'
arranged on a regular schedule II
such a way that the talks and ex
plantations will follow each other a
regular intervals to permit the In
terested growers to see and ask ques
tions about each in turn"
