STATE BOARD OF AFFAIRS

The first patriotic impulse Of the State
Board of Affairs was to get the State Board
Of Liquidation to provide $4,000 to cover
the salaries of the members and the en-
ployees.
Having arranged for pay it proceeded
to divide its power in the following letter to
the public:
"With respect to taxation, the
power OF the board is roughly divided
into four classes
" First, the power to assess prop
erty that has heretofore escaped taxa
alton.
"Second, the power to equalize the
the assessment Of property between
the various governmental subdivisions.
Fourth, the power to assess the
property of all public service corpora
tons, such as railroads, telephone and
telegraph companies, and express COM
panies."
1t then declares that the board is not a
political body but that it considers itself the
servant" of the people,
The most pregnant part of the letter is
the request that the individual citizens and
the press of the state get busy and assist in
locating tax-dodgers.
1t approaches this proposition of espion-
age in the following delicate terms:
"The members of the board desire
very earnestly to justify its existence,
for they know that in order to do so,
they must have the cooperation of the
public.
"The board of state affairs, there
fore, invites and requests from any per-
son in the state of Louisiana any sug-
gestiOn with reference to its duties.
1t invites, from any source, in
formation concerning taXdodgers or
persons who are not paying taxes on
property subject to taxation.
"I 1t invites information from any
/, source concerning inequalities in the as
sessment of individuals in the various
parishes.
cit especially requests from the
newspapers of the state and the man.
ayers thereof, suggestions regarding
the work of the board and any informa-
ton concerning taX-dodgers, inequali-
ties IN assessment or any information
that may enable this board to more full
ly perform its duties to the people of
the state.
"The board will not consider any
anonymous communication. Any infor-
nation received in response to this in
vitation will, however, be treated with
the greatest confidence. Persons COM
municating any fact along these lines
to the board may rest assured that they
will not be troubled or Inconvenience
for that reason.
"All information of this character
will have to be investigated, and the
board must know the source of the in
formation before any investigation can
be undertaken"
From which it is clear that the board is
in earnest and that each individual, besides
having his own taxes raised, will have an
unprecedented opportunity to help put the
screws to his neighbor.

ARRIVE IN PORTLAND
Its Leader Says Sight Of Old
Glory UpEfts Hearts Of
the Allied Troops

Seattle, WASH, July 9.-The sight of
Old Glory on the battle fields of Eu-
rope has uplifted the hearts of allied
troops and stricken the kaiser with ter
ror, Baron Moneheur, head of the Bed
gian commission to the United States,
told the throng that crowded the arena
here at noon today to listen to an ad-
dress pedicting the barbarities suffered
by the Belgian people at the hands of
the German invaders.
Gas you say in America, he said,
"you have 'got the kaiser goat. -
The crowd yelled with enthusiasm.
He told of the suffering of Belgium
because of the Germans deportations
of working men and thefts of machin-
cry AMI raw materials. The sick, the
baron declared, are being shipped back
to their destitute families in cattle ears,
many of them dying en- route.
The mission arrived in Seattle sun
day morning and will leave for Portland
tonight. The members of the commission
are being entertained at the magnifi-
cent home built for King Albert here,
during the Alaska Yukon exposition in
1909, when he was to have come here
as the guest of Samuel Hill, railroad
expert who recently returned from Rus
sia. Trips over the bouleyards, publ

night marked the commissioners visit

Movie Pictures Of
Life Aboard Ship
Shown Last Evening

A full house heard Chief Machinist S
Mate Provost, of the U. s. navy, talk
at the Congregational church last even
ing upon the subject of what advant-
ages there are in the navy for young
men of America. The lecture was given
in conjunction with two reels of film
showing actual conditions on board ship
and in the training stations. Mr.. Pro-
vost especially emphasized the religious
side of the navy, telling Of the church
flag, the only flag which is allowed to
fly above the Stars and Stripes at any
time.
Mr.. Provost told of the training
which the boys get, along mental, NOR
al and physical lines. Schools are pro
vided for all sailors, and athletics are
greatly encouraged. Cleanliness and
care of clothes is an important lesson
learned by each boy who enters the
navy. Weekly inspection of all his be-
lonqings tends to stimulate the sailors
desire for neatness and orderliness.
Life in the navy is mot all drudgery,
az some suppose, but eight Of the TWEEN
ty four hours are given over to rest
and recreation When shore is near, as
in the winter training quarters in Gu
ba, the Jackies have their base ball
series, competing ship with ship, and
fleet with fleet.
Mr.. Provost was much impressed with
the city. Saying it is the most beautl-
full in the valley. Wilson park especial
ly appealed to him, as being fine civ

Dog License Law Stirs
Up the COnstables
and One Resigns

There is grand mix-up on account
of the dog law. AS pointed out by
the Capital Journal a few days ago the
dog law, as passed by the 1917 legisla-
ture, provides for everything but the
power to collect from the owner of the
dog and provides for penalty for all of
ficers who do not obey the various
sections.
AS result, Constable Simcral, Of
Silverton, came over today to resign,
as he felt the law made him a goat.
Constable Varney said this afternoon
he was not going to collect any more
tax, and turned down about thirty peo-
pie who came in today to pay the fee.
If any action is to be brought
against him to compel him to collect
the license money, he is willing in
order that his position in the matter
might be determined. He has consult
ed with several lawyers about the mat
ter and has decided that he will not
collect, and that if possible he will re-
turn the license money already col,
lectcd to the people who have paid
He says he does not feel it pustice, on
account of the present Interpretation
of the law, that one man will pay the
tax as ne should and his neighbor pay
no tax because there are no teeth in
the law.
He would like to have the matter
threshed out in the supreme court as
soon as possible. Until it is threshed
out and his position made clear, he re-
fuses to collect. In the meantime, he
will hold the money collected until the
courts determine the case.

'HOOVER'S MESSAGE IS
HEARD IN PORTLAND
Van Hise Tells Merchants Ex-
tortiOn Must Cease If War
Is To Be Won

Portland, Ore, July eff we are to
win the war, extortion must cease. Food
at fair prices is as necessary to victory
as bullets, soldiers and warships. Al
ready there is discomfort among wage
earners.
Such is the message from Herbert c.
Hoover, delivered here today by Charles
R. Van Hise, president of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin and personal repre-
sentative of the food administrator.
Van Hise was sent to Portland to ex-
plain the food control plans to the Ma
tiOnal Educational association and enlist
the aid of the nation s educational
forces in food conservation. He spoke
before the Portland chamber of COM
merce at noon today.
"The government has arranged to
buy for our allies" he said. "a bill
is now before congress providing that
the government can buy commodities
at the cost Of production and fair
profit. As our allies are buying not
only for war purposes but for the sup
ply Of their civilian populations, the
power to be granted the president will
insure fair prices to everybody except
the private citizens of the United
States"
Van Hise declared that in these mod
ern days the laws of supply and demand
had been thrown upon the scrap heap.
The Sherman antitrust law is its pres
ent form, he said, is practically useless.
He defied his hearers-representa
business men-to say that they did not
have an understanding with competitors
over prices. Greater governmental
control of the basic commodities of life
must come, he declared and great al
liances of powers, acting as economic
units, will follow the war.

driving beyond the limit. He gave ten
dollars bail and forfeited it.
R. c. Kleinsorge of Silverton, was ar
rested for travelling faster than the
law allows. He appeared in the justice
court this morning and when Judge
Webster told him the fine would be ten
dollars he declared he would fight IT
to finish. The judge said 'all right
and Kleinsorge went back to Silverton
to get lawyer. The judge said that
when it was convenient he would try
the case.
