BONDS ESCAPE OREGON TAX
Property Owned by Harrtman Can
Ieave No Revenue to State.
SALEM. Or.. Aug. SI. (Special.) In
response to a letter of several weeks
ago from Oeorge A. Steel. State Treas
urer. Attorney-General Crawford has
Just submitted an opinion that stocks
and bonds of a corporation under the
laws of Oregon are personal property
governed by the laws of the domicile
Instead of the location of the corpora-
tlon and therefore escapo the payment
of Inheritance tax.
The question Involved arose after the
death of E- H Harrtman. As he held
stock extensively In Oregon railroads
and other properties of the state, could
the Inheritance tax act have been con
strued as against the Harrtman estate.
It would have added several hundred
thousand dollars to the state treasury.
As it Is the Attorney-Oeneral be
lieves that these stocks and bonds, be
ing persona 1 property, are subject to
the laws of whatever state Harrtman
maa assva been residing ta at tha time
of his death. Citing section 1 of the
act in his opinion the Attorney-Oeneral
refers to the clause "all property
within the jurisdiction of the state and
any Interest therein shall be liable
to Inheritance tax. In section t it Is
provided that stocks and bonds, which
stand In the name of a decedent In the
state, cannot be transferred or assumed
by a foreign sdmln'strator or executor
unless there la a payment of Inheri
tance tax to tha State Treasurer. Tsk
Ing these two sections and giving them
a complementary construction, it ' con
tended that, to be liable to the Inheri
tance tax. stocks and bonds must be
within tha Jurisdiction of this state.
To bear out his conclusion further be
refers to the section In the code which
classes stocks and bonds as personal
property. The 8upreme Court, he cites.
In State ex rel. vs. Smith, has passed
upon the section of the code in ques
tion Interpreting it as classifying
stocks and bonds as personal prop
erty. While tha opinion of tha Ataorney
Oeneral was desired to determine
whether the Inheritance tax law would
apply to the Harrtman estate specif
ically, it Is sweeping In Its nature and
it is given aa the opinion of the Attorney-General
that any stocks and bonds
of Oregon corporations, owned by non
resident decedents, are not subject to
a tax under the recent Inheritance tax
law.
VOTES HAY BE WRITTEN
SECOND CHOICE XEED NOT BE
LIMITED TO NOMINEES.
Idaho Attorney-General Gives Opin
ion on Election Lsvr Statute la
Plain, He Declares.
BOISE; Idaho. Aug. a. (Special.) Attorney-General
McDougal has given an
opinion on the provisions of tbe direct pri
mary law. He holds that voters at the
state election. August & may write on
the official ballot. In the spaces provided,
the name of any man or woman not
printed on tha ballot and that these votes
must be counted. Since the decision of
tha Supreme Court there has been wide
spread speculation whether names written
on the ballot would be recognised, in view
or the fact that petitions had not been
filed with the Secretary of State or
County Auditor.
Apparently a number of voters doe re
to vote as second choice for persons
whoes names do not appear on the ballot,
in order that their second choice votes
shall not interfere with the chance, of
the first choice, which might be tbe case
If that candidate did not receive a ma
jority of all the votea east for first choice,
thereby causing a second choice canvass.
In the opinion of the Attorney-General
any voter can write In a name for either
first or second choice and the vote must
be counted. There will be few who
will write in a name for first choice, but
the number of Inquiries respecting the
second choice feature Indicates there will
be a great many wrltten-ln second-choice
voteex
"If tha voter so desires." says the
opinion, "he may wrhe In aa either first
or second choice, or both first and second
choice, tbe name of any party or parties
whose name or names are not printed
upon the official ballot.
"If a voter were compelled to vote, as
first or second choice or both, for the
names of candidates appearing upon the
ballot, the provision of the statute In
regsrd to writing In nsraea would be a
nullity. Section 14 of the primary elec
tion law, among other things, says: 'and
a blank space shall be provided under
each official heading In order that a
voter may write in the.nsme of a can
didate for any office.-
The provision of the statute and the
decision of the Supreme Court is so plain
In that matter that there is no room for
ambiguity or difference of opinion."

tler won a National reputation through
his work along Irrigation and agri
cultural lines.
Three Western states are well tn the
lead In Irrigation Idaho, California
and Colorado," said Dr. Fortler. "I be
lieve that Idaho Is now in the lead of
all Western states In extent of land
under completed projects. It was re
cently estimated that California has
3.600.000 acres under completed and
projected projects, but I am Inclined
to believe that Idaho has a still larger
area.
"It is generally recognized that our
agents are well informed on irriga
tion conditions and the officials of
the census bureau have agreed to col
lect valuable Information for our of
fice, providing we supervise the work
of the two branches in this line.
"We shall not know, of course, the
exact acreage irr.gated in the United
States until the new census Is pub
lished, but our agents have already
estimated the area from thelr-jreneral
knowledge of local conditions at about
13.000.000. with a probable total acre
age of 60.000.000 when all the avail
able water supply Is utilized.
"Of the acreage now under irriga
tion, about 95 per cent belongs to pri
vate enterprises of one kind or an
other and the remaining five per cent
belongs to the projects of the reclama
tion service.
"One thus can see that while Saul
has slain his thousands David has slain
his tens of thousands. These figures
also show that the old Western pioneers
and their descendants are still on the
firing line, battling against adverse
natural handicaps. The result of their
stupendous labors will be the grand
est heritage ever left to future gener
ations by a courageous race."

15,000 ACRES INVOLVED
Testimony to Be Taken in Idaho
Timber Land Cases This Week.
BOISE, Idaho, Aug. 21. (Special.)
Evidence will be submitted tomorrow
before a referee In chancery at Lewiston
in the famous Northern Idaho timber
cas wherein the Government seeks to
cancel patent to 15,000 acres of valuable
timber lands along the Clearwater River
held by William F. Kettenbach, George
H. Kester and William Dwyer.
The defendants were Indicted by Fed
eral grand Jury on a charge of conspir
ing to secure the timber lands. They
were tried on this criminal charge in
Boise last February' and acquitted. The
defendants now set up the defense that,
having been acquitted by a Jury, they are
entitled to the land involved and that
there are no groundo for a civil suit.
The Government takes the attitude that
the acquittal of the defendants has noth
ing whatever to do with title, that they
secured It in a fraudulent manner and
therefore cannot hold title to It.
While in the North Peyton Gordon, spe
cial assistant, will make arrangements
for the trial of the case, and aleo the

BEACH CAPTIVATES
SIGHTSEER SO IMPRESSED
WITH TILLAMOOK BEACH
HE SPEAKS UP.
Careful Comparison of All Coast Sum
mer Resorts Results Favorably
for Garibaldi Beach. "
"In my Summer outings I ha-e
tramped from the Government Jetty
north of Fort Stevens all the way down
the coast to Nestucca Bay. I have seen
the developed beaches at Gearhart and
Seaside; have marvelled at the beau
ties of the road from Seaside to Elk
Creek; gazed upon the natural won
ders of Cannon Beach; passed through
Arch Cape; climbed over Cape Falcon;
wondered at the Short Sand Beach;
thrilled at the trail around Neah-Kah-ne
Mountain; wandered out upon the
sand spit at Nehalem Bay; crossed the
bay and walked leisurely down Gari
baldi Beach, and, in all these wander
ings, with my camera upon my shoul
der, I have enjoyed no spot more than
Tillamook Beach."
This statement was made voluntar
ily by a Portland man who has no In
terest In Tillamook Beach, further
than that of an ordinary sightseer bent
upon an outing in the open by the sea.
It speaks well for Tillamook Beach, as
the gentleman in question Is a keen
observer and offers his opinion after
careful comparison with every other
beach resort onj the North Oregon
Coast.
C. E. Fields & Company, agents for
Tillamook Beach, with offices in the
Board of Trade building, were so en
raptured over this outburst of favor
able opinion that they asked this paper
to publish it as a true statement of an
unbiased man. "Charley" Fields has
also investigated the merits of Tilla
mook Beach, by the comparative plan,
and he is of the same opinion. So
impressed is he with Tillamook Beach
that he purchased seven of the highest
priced lots. Just as soon as the property
had been platted. He has prepared
some very neat descriptive literature
that he will mail to anybody upon re
