TAX FAVOR|T|SN|
CHARGED TO
MONTGOMERY

ROCKVILLE, Md. June 26.
Although all Montgomery county
property should be assessed at
approximately 66 per cent Of its
actual value, many speculative
tracts Of land in the county,
owned by members Of the old
Democratic organization, are as
sessed at a small fraction Of their
value, William L. Aude, FusioniSt
county assessor, asserted before
the board of Montgomery county
commissions yesterday
This assertion was made follow
ing charges against Mr.. Aude by
County Commissioner Robert D.
Hagner, Democrat, last week that
he had not efficiently carried on
his work since talking office about
five months ago.
Cites Land Assessment
In his statement to the board
Mr.. Aude declared Mr.. Hagner
owned a tract of land in the busi-
ness section of Bethesda, which
should be acceSSed at the rate Of
40 cents per square foot, which
actually it is assessed at the rate
of 2 cents per square foot.
This tract of more than four
acres is acceSSed on a acreage
basis and is listed on the records
as assessed at slightly more than
$1,000. If assessed at the rate of
40 cents per square foot the assess
ment value would be listed at
$69, 500.
Mr.. Hagner Replies
In reply, Mr.. Hagner said al
though he was member of the
assessors board at the time the
assessment was made in 1927 and
1928, he had nothing to do with
his own assessment, and had
merely paid the taxes as they
came due. He said:
II honestly believed my prop
erty to be assessed the same
as other property of like value
located in the same area"
Mr.. Aude declared that if the
county's assessments were equal
lied as they should be. there
would be no need to raise the
county tax rate this year. He
said:
"There should be a complete
reasSessment of all county prop.
erty, and if this is done under
my term of office there will be
no discrimination"

LAWYERS FIGHT
. KIDNAPPED BOY
AS WITNESS

TACOMA, Wash, June 26
(I.N.S0.-Following another con-
ference with Margaret Valley, 10,
one Of the accused kidnapers of
George Weyerhaeuser, 9-year-old
scion of the wealthy lumber fam
lily, defense attorneys conferred
here today to map plans for her
trial, July 5, in Federal Court be-
fore Judge Edward E. Cushman.
The defense attorneys, John F..
Dore, former mayor of Seattle,
and his associate, Stephen j.
O'Brien, refused to comment at
length on their conference in the
Olympia Jail with the woman
whose husband, Harmon M. Wa
ley, confessed to the kidnapping
and is serving a 45-year sentence
at Mcneil Island Federal prison.
However, Dore declared he
would formally protest to the
court against the appearance Of
the 9-year-old boy as a witness.
Dore said he was not apprehen-
sive of any harm the boys teSti-
mony might do his client, but for
the harm it may do to the boy.
Dore said:
"He should be given every
opportunity and oil the help
possible to forget that exper.
fence. 1t should be erased from
his memory. His testimony Is
totally unnecessary we will ad.
init he was kidnapped and we
viii admit Harmon M. VALLEY
and william Mahan did it. He
can tell nothing essential to this
case that is now already
known"

STATE RAISES
TARIFF WALL
INSIDE NATION
Washington's New Tax On
Imported Merchandise
Widely Studied
By ARTHUR l.. SCHOENl
United Press Staff Correspondent

OLYMPIA, Wash, Oct. 81
UP).-Approved by the State
Supreme Court as within the
bounds of Interstate Commerce
laws, Washington's newest taxa
2 per cent "compensating tax" Oh
merchandise imported" into the
state to avoid the 2 per cent re-
tail sales tax-is being watched
with interest by tax authorities
over the nation.
The fax was enacted by the 1898
legislature to protect cities along
Washington's border which would
suffer from large purchases beng
made from Oregon merchants IN
stead of in Washington.
To get around federal constltu-
tional bars against taxing inter-
state commerce, the legislature
levied the compensating tax on
"the privilege of using" these pur-
chases like automobiles and wash
ing machines within the state.
UPHELD BY STATE COURT
The supreme court held the tax
legal on grounds it was not a tax
on interstate commerce, but on
the article after it had come to
rest in Washington.
The idea of such tax was con.
ceived by the Washington State
Tax Commission, which asserts 1t
is the first of it's kind in the Unit
ed States. Since the supreme
court upheld its validity, numer-
Gus states, especially thsoe also
having retail sales taxes, have be-
gun studying the tax closely with
a view of adopting it to protect
their own merchants.
The Washington tax exempts
all purchases under $40 month
and also any article which has
been subjected to a tax equal or
larger than the 2 per cent COM
pensating levy, either by the fed
eral government or other states.
SCOPE NOT FIXED YET
The exact scope of the compen-
sating tax has not been estab-
lished. The Northern Pacific rail
road asked the supreme court not
to rule on the tax as it affected
engines, rails, cars and other
equipment used in this state and
purchased elsewhere. A separate
suit may be filed to test just how
far the state can go in taxing rail
roads, telephone companies, and
others in interstate commerce.
The tax commission also has a
suit before the supreme court
testing whether it can levy the
states business tax on gross reve-
nues of Mason alsh-Atchinson-
Keir Co., contractors now engaged
in building the $63,O00,000 Grand
Coulee dam.
The company contends it is an
agent for the federal government
and not subject to state taxation.
Should it lose the business tax
suit, the way might be opened for
the commission to require the
company to pay the compromising
tax on machinery, cement and the
millions of dollars worth of other
materials brought into Washing
ton for the dam.

FISH SAYS BORAH ONLY
POSSIBLE CANDIDATE NOW

WASHINGTON, Oct. 81. (UP)
Back from an extensive speaking
tour in the west, Representative
Hamilton Fish, Republican, New
York, said tonight that Senator
William E. Borah of Idaho is the
only possible Republican presi-
Dental candidate mentioned thus
far who has nationwide popular
support.
Blasting the New Deal in all
but six states west of the MisSis-
sippi, Fish said he had found evil
dence on every hand that Presi-
dent Roosevelt's popularity was
on the wane and that the admins
tration's spending program was
antagonizing thousands.
His desk was piled with letters
and kilograms from farmers, bus
mess men and workers who Of
fered to support him for the pres
idency. But the New York con-
gresham, one of the first to sense
the opportune moment to attack
the New Deal in congress, has
not announced his candidacy.
II have no desire to be a can
didate," he told the United Press.
II only hope that someone of the
type of former President Theo-
dore Roosevelt throws his hat in
to the ring so I could go out to
support him to the limit"
Fish said his friends were urg-
ing him to become a candidate
but that he would withhold his
decision until names of all likely
candidates had been made known.
eff 1 do become a candidate, +"
he said, 81 will carry the fight
to the people and to the farmers
opposing any compromise with the
socialistic New Deal. But l will
not compromise either with the
old deal of special favor, special
interest or control by Wall
iStreet."
Fish believes it is possible for
the Republicans to evolve a con-
structive liberal platform which
would provide "a square deaP'
for labor, farmers, business men
and private property within the
confines of the constitution.
Refusing to discuss the candl-
dacies of several Republican pres
idential aspirants, Fish said he
found sentiment in the west over
whelmingly in favor of selecting
Mr.. Roosevelt's opponent from
the middle west. Most of this SEN
timent, however, he explained,
was inspired by friends of vari-
Gus midweSterners already consld-
cred in the race.
"There is no question but that
Senator William E. Borah is the
strongest and the only candidate
so far mentioned who has any
nationwide popular support, FIST
continued. "All the rest apparent
ly is merely manufactured sup
port"
