High Court To Scan
State Income Tax
New State Law Will Be Given
Final Test Soon; Friendly
Suit Due

OLYMPIA, July IS A
friendly test suit against the 1885
legislatures income tax law will be
filed shortly, the state tax commits
sion has been informed
Rather than wait until the law
actually goes into operation the
tax is on 1885 incomes, the tax pay
able in 1936-and expensive collec-
ton machinery is set up, opponents
will file the suit far enough ahead
to settle the question before the
commission has to get ready to
collect it.
The commission is amenable to
the plan, having spent hundreds of
dollars getting ready to collect the
1888 graduated income tax, only to
have it thrown out by the state
supreme court because it was gradu-
ated and tax on property.
Similar To Federal Tax
The main drawback in the friend
ly suit, from the legal standpoint
is that the plaintiff cannot find
anything to sue against as yet
since the commission has made no
demands on him for the tax nor
taken any steps toward it's collec-
ton from anyone.
The net income TAX passed by the
1885 session is expected to raise ST.
100000 year. 1t is levied on the
privilege of earning an income, in
stead of on the income itself, as was
the old tax.
After deductions are made, the
tax would be three per cent on
amounts up to $4,000 and a surtaz
of four per cent on amounts in ex
cess of $4,000 All receipts would GO
into the state general fund. The law
is almost duplicate of the federal
income tax.
Exemptions Given
Exemptions are $1,000 for single
persons, $4,000 for married persons
and $500 additional for each de-
pendent.
The tax was a part Of Governor
Martins revenue program. It was
aimed to reach richer persons, who
would not be hit so heavily in pro-
portion to their wealth, under the
retail sales tax, as would the COM
mon individual.
New Use For Tokens
A new use has been found for
Washington's metal tax tokens
Three or four impaled near the
head of q match stick make an ex-
cellent top for youngsters to spin
Poker players already have adopted
tokens as substitute for poker
chips.

LITTLE CHANGE REVEALED
IN CONDITION OF FARMERS

PULLMAN Market posi-
ton of farmers has not changed
much during the first six months
of this year, although in general
prices received for farm products
have gone down a little since jan
uary while prices paid for goods and
supplies have advanced slightly,
points out r. M. Turner, extension
economist.
Market position compared with

last year is better because prices Of
farm products have risen faster
than prices of store goods. Farm
products are about one-seventh
higher this year than in 1894 and
about one third higher than during
1882 and 1888.
