The Official Paper or San Juan County. THURSDAY. MARCH 31st, 1898. RESPONSIBILITY FOB TAXES. A number of more or less prominent Populists, including Speaker CHue, of Washington's first and, let us hope, last Populist house of representatives, have been making somewhat frantic efforts of late to induce the governor to call a special session of the legislature to pro vide for submitting at the next election a proposed constitutional amendment authorizing the legislature to enact laws exempting some limited amount of private property from taxa tion. In the excess of their zeal to ex empt themselves from the payment of taxes the majority of the members of the last legislature overdid the matter to such an extent that question of the constitutionality of any exemption whatever was quickly raised, with the result that not only the new but the old exemption law, with its reasonable limit of $300, was nullified by the su preme court. And now the patriots who were balked in their efforts to avoid bearing any part of the burden of taxes are endeavoring to divert atten tion from their own responsibility in the matter by howling about the Re publican supreme court. It is this fea ture of their wail that leads us to again refer to the matter and state for the in formation of those of our readers who may be interested that the question of the legality of the enactment was first brought into court in the Populist county of Spokane in a test case tried before a Populist judge. It was his de cision againt the law which was af firmed by the supreme court on appeal, and the affirming opinion was written by the Populist member ot the higher court. So much for the political aspect of the matter. There simply is no way in which the Populists can shift the blame to the "Republican supreme court" or the Republican party. There is some satisfaction in the fact that in consequence of their abortive legisla tion some of them have been compelled this year, much against their will, to bear some small part of the general burden of taxes. After quoting the constitutional re quirement that "the legislature shall provide by law a uniform and equal rate of assessment and taxation of all property in the state, according to its value in money," etc., Judge Prather, in his decision iv the Spokane case, says: "It will be observed that this section of our con stitution fixes and prescribes a basis of taxation to be all the property in the state, and authorii ing the legislature to provide by law a uniform and equal rate of assessment and taxation, so that every person and corporation shall pay a tax in proportion to the value of his, her or its property. The legislature could not pass any law in violation of this express and reiterated theory of assessments and taxation unless al. lowed by the constitution, and it seems that no such authority could exist unless we entertain the absurd proposition that the constitution, after fixing in strong and absolute terms a cer tain theory of taxation and authorizing the leg islature to pass laws carrying it into execution, should, nevertheless, empower the legislature to adopt any scheme of taxation which it might deem expedient, or, in short, after placing liini tations on the legislature, it should in fact be without limit ta to its powers." And iii conclusion the judge says further: "But the law allowing an exemption of per sonal property to the value of $500, and of im provements on real estate to tbe valme of fsoo, cannot be sustained, except on the absurd proper pition that the constitution was not intended to place any restrictions whatever on legislative power. No considerations should induce ju- diclal construction substituting legislation or violating the constitution." Some further agitation of the liquor question seems to be expected at the meeting of the county commissioners next week. At their January meeting the commissioners took a lirtu and just stand upon the question and they can doubtless be relied upon to do their full duty under Sec. 2808 of the statutes which gives them "sole and exclusive authority and power to regulate, re gtraiu, license or prohibit the sale or dis posal of spirituous, fermented, malt or other intoxicating liquors outside of the I corporate limits of each incorporated city, incorporated towu or incorporated village in their respective counties." •Actingupon the authority vested In them by this section the commission ers at their January meeting ordered that the saloons be closed on Sundays and gave notice that renewal of license would be refused to auy one violating the order. It is alleged that this order has not been fully complied with, though it is very generally admitted that there has been no open violation of it and that Sunday conditions have been very greatly improved here since it went into effisot. That is * good deal. It is not well to be hasty or ex treme in criticisms of the meu engaged }n the liquor business so long as they show a disposition to comply with the law aud the spirit of the commissioner's order. Their business is lawful, and they are not only entitled to the law's toleration but to its protection. If any one of them has violated the order of the board, which is likewise the law, he is amenable to it and should be dealt with accordingly, but mere rumors or hearsay should not be Best possible terms for tea bakta* powder, coffee lavorlii*e«tii*t» soda Mid apices.

The naval board of inquiry ap pointed to investigate the Maine disas ter at Havana reports that it was due to an explosion from the outside, but does not assume to fix the responsi bility. The Spanish board reports that it is "practically and scientifically dem onstrated" that the explosion was from the interior. Both reports are what the world had been expecting for weeks and so neither occasions surprise. The American report is based upon the re sults of the most careful and thorough investigation that it was possible to make, while the Spanish examination was notoriously superficial, which is hardly to be wondered at in view of the Spanish character and the im portance of avoiding any admission of Spanish responsibility for such a fear ful deed.

President McMillin, of the Lime company, left for Whatcom and up- Sound cities on the Thompson Monday. The people of Stuart island are anxious to have a postofh'ce established on the island, with semi-weekly ser vice from here. Victor McConnell, of West Sound, arrived here Monday night in a fishing sloop from WulfTshon bay, B. C, about sixty miles nor h of Vancouver. He has been woiking in a logging camp. The social which was to have been given last Saturday evening for the benefit (f the Sunday school was in definitely postponed on account of measles, to which it is supposed that some who might have attended have been exposed. Dr. Harrison expects to leave next week to join his family in Seattle, after a short visit with his parents near East Sound. Hia departure will be very generally and sincerely regretted here and he will be greatly missed by many warm personal friends who wish him the greatest possible measure of success in the larger field to which he lias de termined to go. One of the children of Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Crosby, who live about half a mile from town, is recovering from what Dr. Harrison prononces a genuine case of diphtheria, though not a very serious one. It is supposed to have been caused by bad water, bad drain age, etc., and as the Crosby home is qu:L> isolated the doctor seems to have no fear of a spread of the disease. James Crook is recovering from an attack of the German measles at the home o£his brother in law, dipt. Her bert Davis, here. It is supposed that he caught the infection from Capt. Davis, who "came down" with it at Tacoma about two weeks aga and was quarantined there. He has about re covered now and is at the home ot his parents on Decatur island. His wife is also there, aud Jim has been faith fully nursed through his illness by his younger sister, Miss Rhoda. Roche. A Bare Thins; for Too. A transaction in which you canuot loseisa sure thing.
