Fr3akish Assessments \
y Revealed in Senat,

OLYMPIA.-A wide variety of freak
ish assessm ents are revealed in the
1925 report Of the state board of
equalization, which has just been
placed in the hands Of members of
the legislature.
Only 195,304 automobiles and trucks
are listed on the assessment rolls
covering the entire state, while the
1925 figures of the license depart
ment show 277,O3O private cars and
46,577 trucks in Washington.
Small Cars Escaped
Many small cars escape taxation
under the $500 exemption privileges
1t was pointed out by Samuel Chase,
chairman Of the tax commission, in
commenting on the report. Then the
automobiles are moving frequently
and are sometimes hard to catch, and
anyone buying a car after March /.
of course, escapes, Chase explained.
From the department of licenses
totals, too, must be deducted a large
number of transfers of ownership,
which require purchase of new license
plates by the new owner Of the car.
Yet the wide variation in the tax and
license totals shows big loss some
where for the assessors.
Money Untaxed
More peculiar yet are the views of
assessors towards the taxation of
money on hand" as revealed in the
report. King county paid taxes of
$65,750 assessed value, while only
eight other counties paid taxes on
money at all. And the total assessed
value of money reported by these
eight counties was but S17,814.
The assessment of money is ono
Of the hardest jobs an assessor has,
because he has to rely on the hon
esty Of the individual making his re-
port as to the cash he has on hand,
it was explained, consequently many
assessors dodge that item in their
reports. Pierce county reported only
$5875 as the assessed value of money
on hand in that county, while Spo-
kane county reported $500, Chase
said.
JeweIry Scarce
On diamonds, jewelry, watches
firearms, clothing, ETC., Island county
reported not cent. Skamania re
ported $35, Wahkiakum $500, Mason
$13S, Cowlitz $72S, Asotin 1878 and
| Kitsap 1896. Yet other small popu
lation counties such as Klickitat re
ported $4171, Lincoln $29SO and Pend
Oreille $239S.
The average value of one-year-old
horses ranged all the way from $5.1s
in Benton county to $13 in Kitsap
county Work horses ranged from
$2010 average value in Adams county
to $48.43 in Mason county.
Other personal property values
shows the same wide variation
These obvious inequalities are be
ing looked into by the state tax com
mission, but it is not ready yet tc
present it's solution to the problem
according to Chase.

$4,000 left to you by your
grandfather, DEAR" Marshall's voice

well, that's what / want to do with
it-save the ranch for you, dear
Daddy. You will use 1t now, won't
you, Daddy?"
Deep emotion was apparent in the
old mans voice, as he replied:
"You are loyal, darling girl, Mary
-true-blue and thoroughbred
you never will know how much your
Daddy appreciates your doing this.

pause. Then Marshall went on: "But
there is still another problem to
solve. l don't dare show myself in
Pico or Latigo. There is a price of
$4,000 on my head. That shooting
| still hangs over me- That is why we
have been forced to live on this side

Marshall protested, but to no avail;
Mary was insistent. Finally her
father reluctantly acquiesced to her
entreaties, warning her to the strict.
est caution.
"Ill start first thing in the morn
ing" said Mary.
Buck, the spy beneath the window,
was satisfied. He had heard all he
wanted to know. He crawled away
from the window, and skunk around
the corner Of the house, then hurried
away in the darkness to take his de.
parture from Paradise Canyon.

Tent City Crowd
Breaks Records

Considerable publicity was given
to Coronado Tent City and Southern
California through the min-ature re
gatta of yachts held recently at the
resort across the bay from San Di-
ego. This publicity consisted of
newspaper and magazine articles,
as well as news reel weeklies.
The regatta was such a big sue
cess that it is planned to make it an
annual affair.
Reports from Coronado Tent City
were to the effect that all records
were broken for the crowds attend.
ing the Fourth of July week end at
the resort. A feature that pleased
visitors was the fact that the ferry
boats were opened to motorists,
making it possible to drive directly
to the resort instead of having to
leave the ears ON the San Diego side,
as in previous years.
