Executive Says He Will Not Act
Unless Definite Programme
Has Statewide Support.
BOISE. Idaho, Dec. 31. (Special.)
Should the 16th Idaho legislature be
convened In session extraordinary
rive relief to those overburdene
with taxes?
That Is the question now In th
minds of many of the leading men o
the state, and while the prospects
an extra session are remote the laxa
tion Issue Is ever present and press
lng.
The matter was put squarely be
fore Governor Davis, who positively
declined to take steps to convene th
solons in extra session until there i
presented at least some definite pro
gramme on which the legislature
could act. and more evidence tha
has been presented to Jusrtify th
Issuance of a call for a session ex
traordinary.
One County Makes Appeal.
The only appeal that has been laid
before the crovernor for convening
of the leeislature In extra session
came from the people of Blaln
county. No other counties have pe
titioned, nor so far as the governor
records show, have any other repre
tentative bodies of citizens made
similar request. In fact, opposition
to a special session is developing in
manv parts of the state.
The attitude of Governor Davis I
clearly outlined in the reply he made
to the petition of the commissioner:
of Blaine county, who asked for the
special session.
Conntructive Programme Lacking.
The reply was as follows:
"It does not seem wise nor possible
to call a special session of the leg:s
lature at this time. The first bill that
a special session would pass would
be a new appropriation measure to
cover the expense of the session; and
unless there is some constructive pro
gramme suggested, or worked out, by
which the people of the state might
be bettered. I would not feel It pos
sible to call a special session.
"It would be a pleasure to me to
carefully consider any suggestions
that your board of county commis
sioners might make as to the reasons
and wisdom of calling a special sea
eion. But without a concrete plan of
merit from them it does not seem
possible for . me to grant their re
quest."
Tnxpnyem Protmt I,evlf.
The taxpayers of Blaine county
called a mass meting to protest
against the high taxes. They met
with the county commissioners In an
effort to find some solution by which
the tax burden might be lifted.
The commissioners justified the
tax levies they had authorized and
defended the expenditures that had
been authorized and made in the
county. The per capita tax levy in
Blaine county is approximately J65.
The cost per annum of operating the
county is $85,000. The population of
the county is about 6000. The tax
payers there feel that the taxes are
risinpr instead of falling, and that
something must be done to save
them from financial ruin.
It was decided to appeal to Gov
ernor Davis and to ask him to con
vene the legislature In extra session
that legislation could be passed that
would bring the relief desired. So a
petition was sent to the state's chief
executive and to this he has made
formal reply.
Sperlal Sm.slonH Failure.
Special sessions of the legislature
III this State have not a rernrrt tn
their credit of enacting legislation of
benefit. In 1912 a special session was
called by James H. Hawley. governor.
Th tax problem was the Issue, then
as It is now. The board of equaliza
tion, under Governor Hawley, had
ruled that all property in the state
should be assessed at its full cash
value, as the law provides, whereas
property was being assessed at but
40 per cent of its full cash value. The
result was taxation chaos, and the
legislature had to be convened in
special session to pass legislation
that would bring relief, but this was
not done.
The only session extraordinary of
the legislature since then, was called
by Governor Davis during his first
term for the purpose of ratifying the
woman suffrage amendment passed
by congress. The legislature made
the ratification. It adjourned Imme
diately thereafter without consider-
nix uiner legislation. The cost
the state was small.

Party Faction Opposed to Return;
of Incumbent Senator Would
Draft Bourbon for Race.
PUGET SOUND BUREAU. Seattle,
Dec. 31. The security of Stephen J.
Chadwick's attachment to the princi
ples and faith of the democratic party
is the objective of a lively assault.
The attacking partly, entirely friendly
to Judge Chadwick. is moved in some
degree by hostility to Senator Poin
dexter. candidate for re - election.
The purpose is to Induce Judge Chad
wick to run in 'opposition to Senator
Poindexter and to run as a repub
lican candidate by filing his can
didacy in the republican party pri
maries. Thie has been talked of quietly for
some time. When it became known
that J. Stanley Webster, representa
tive from Spokane, would not be a
candidate against Mr. Poindexter the
Chadwick talk took on a louder tone.
And now, with Senator Poindexter
home for the holidays and busy with
conferences and checking up on the
situation, the Chadwick talk is almost
noisy.
Fltnens Ih Proclaimed.
Friends of the Judge openly pro
claim his pre-eminent fitness. Those
whom Mr. Poindexter has offended
or slighted In one way or another
think they see in Judge Chaowick a
splendid instrument for retaliation. A
third element contributing some force
to the movement consists of those
who are not particularly friendly to
the one man nor hostile to the other,
but who don't like to see Senator
Poindexter "get away with it" as
easily as the prospects have indicated
that he might. A senatorial election
without a scrap would be a dispirit
ing and dismal affair to many. With
Senator Poindexter and Judge Chad
wick pitted against each other a scrap
i would be 'assured of sufficient In
tensity to satisfy the most savage
taste.
To have Judge Chad'wjck run as a
democrat would be a waste of good
material, in the judgment of the fore
most promoters of possible ruction.
Chamberlain Defeat Cited.
They cite, as a nearby instance, the
defeat of Senator Chamberlain of Ore
gon, swept out of office In last year's
republican landslide, and they have
satisfied themselves at least that no
man; however popular, is strong
enough to be elected as a democrat
in this state In 1922. Washington,
they maintain, will stand by the
Harding administration, and since
Senator Poindexter is generally cred
ited with such standing they in
sist that his defeat can be accom
plished only on other grounds within
the republican party and by an op-,
posing republican candidate.
Hence the effort to have Judge
Chadwick declare his allegiance to
the republican party as the first step
toward getting into the senatorial
fight. The Judge has been rated a
democrat by inheritance and life-long
habit. His father was one of Oregon's
democratic governors, and until the
judiciary of the state of Washington
was by law made non-partisan Judge
Chadwick was esteemed as one of
the democratic party's most dependa
ble and efficient war horses.
Partisanship Is Obscured.
During later years of service on
the bench of the superior and
supreme courts he was removed from
partisan activity, but has never
openly renounced the faith that he
used to back up with lively work.
Prefacing any discussion of Judge
Chadwick as a senatorial possibility,
it in now necessary for promoters
of this political enterprise to say
that his years on the bench served
to mellow and modify his partisan
convictions. The facts also are cited
that when he resigned as chief jus
tice of the supreme court to engage
In the practice of law he was utterly
out of sympathy with the democratic
national administration then in power
and was at all times much opposed
to the league of nations and Mr.
Wilson's post-war programme. Hie
three law partners are ardent re
publicans, and his political beliefs are
said now to be framed to the point
where a confession of the new faith
that is in him would be both natural
and convincing.
Cane of Judge Burke Cited.
Instance is also made of the case
of Thomas Burke of Seattle, than
whom there is no more sincere re
publican; yet Judge Burke once was
twin of Judge Chadwick as a tower
of democratic party strength.
Question of the geographical diffu
sion of senatorial influence is met In
an interesting way. Unwritten polit
ical-law used to have it that one
senator must come from either side
of the mountains. That law was
broken in 1910. when Senator Poin
dexter was elected from Spokane,
while Senator Jones still lived in
Yakima, Shortly after his re-election
in 1914, Senator Jones nominally
changed his residence from Yakima
to Seattle. Judge Chadwlrk is now
resident of Seattle. Would the
srtate stand for two senators hailing
from the same town? The answer
is that Judge Chadwick really be
longs on the east side. He lived in
Colfax for many years. His earlier
judicial service was given on the
superior court bench of Whitman
county. As associate and chief jus
tice of the supreme court, he be
longed to the whole state, and he has
ttained to such state-wide promi
nence and popularity that he Is not
to he tagged with any community
label.
Representative Webster Out.
As a candidate against Senator
Poindexter. Representative Webster
of Spokane has virtually declared
himself out. As a political factor
functioning in favor of any reputable
candidate against Mr. Poindexter, Mr.
Webster is depended on to declare
himself in again. He Is considerably
less than friendly to Mr. Poindexter,
and he is said to be ready to swing
into action in behalf of Judge Chad,
wick or any other candidate who has
strength enough to make the fight.
Senator Poindexter's thought on the
Chadwick movement remains un
spoken so far as the public knows.
That, he has given It some thought
is not to be doubted, since it Is talked
of wherever Judge Chadwick is
known which means In every part
of the state. But Mr. Poindexter
probably will keep silent until the
time. If it ever comes, that Judge
Chadwick proclaims his republican
Ism. It is up to the judge to speak
first. That is what his friends and
Senator Poindexter's critics and op
ponents are urging him to do.

New Assessment Ordered for Bank
Depositors' Benefit.
PUGET SOUND BUREAU, Seattle,
Wash.. Dec. 31. Another 100 per cent
assessment must be paid by stock
holders of the defunct Scandinavian
American bank of Seattle, according
to the decision of Superior Judge Ron
aid. If such an assessment could be
fully met by all the stockholders it
would produce approximately i.uuu.
000 for the benefit of depositors, but
W. Vaughan Tanner, former state at
torney-general and now counsel for
the state bank supervisor, says the
amount collectible falls far short of
that sum. since many of the stock
holders have nothing against which
lew mav be made.
The defense in the action set up the
fact that a 100 per cent assessmen
had already been levied and met in
1920 by which it was claimed the
stockholders' liability had been dis
chareed. The court held that the
earlier assessment was for the pur
pose of keeping the bank running and
was so used. When the bank finally
failed the liability of the stockholders
to the depositors still held. The case
will be appealed.

Speaker of House Says Assessment
on Motor Fuel Would Let
Big Interests Out.
EUGENE. Or.. Dec. 31. (Special.)
"The action of the proponents of the
Portland exposition in trying to force
upon the people of the state a direct
property tax and then a gasoline tax
to finance the exposition has caused
a breach between Portland and the
up-state counties that will take many
years to heal." said L. E. Bean
speaker of the house of represents
tives of the Oregon legislature. In an
interview today.
"Portland in itself is not to blame,'
continued Mr. Bean. 'The whole re
sponsibility Is placed upon a few peo
pie who were endeavoring to force
the people of Oregon to pay for a fair
to be held In Portland and from which
Portland would gain material bene
fit. The gasoline tax, as proposed. Is
considered more sinister than the di
rect property tax, for the reason that
many large corporations such as the
Portland Railway. Light- & Power
company, which would reap a great
benefit from the exposition, would
pay a good share of the money to
finance the fair under a direct prop
erty tax, but would not pay a dollar
under the gasoline tax.
Direct Property Tax Opponed.
Speaker Bean said he openly op
posed a direct property tax to finance
the exposition from the time it was
proposed, and that he was against
calling a special session of the legis
lature, declaring that there was no
need for it and no emergency.
He said that he anticipated that
the fair proponents would be unable
to obtain a majority In the legisla
ture for a direct property tax and he
went to work on a state Income tax
measure. He employed the services
of Jack Llttell. chief deputy In the
Internal revenue office in Portland for
seven years, to gather data and upon
this data be drew his Income tax
bill.
The bill provided a tax on incomes
in the same manner as levied by the
government under its income tax
law, with the same exemptions and
same deductions, being changed only
so as to make it fit the state ma
chinery. Mr. Bean said he felt that
since Portland had voted by such a
large majority to tax itself for the
exposition it would be just that the
state at large should contribute In
some manner. If a tax of any nature
should be imposed. Mr. Bean said
he felt that it should be imposed so
that it would put the burden of
financing the fair squarely upon the
ability to pay.
Machinery Provided la BlIL
Mr. Bean said his bill practically
wiped out the direct property tax
voted by Portland, eliminated the pri
vate subscriptions of $1,000,000 and
further provided for financing the
fair to the amount of $6,000,000 on a
basis of $2,000,000 a year for three
years.
The bill provided as machinery for
collecting the state Income tax the
state tax commission, giving it au
thority to make rules and regulations
to carry into effect the collection of
he tax. all funds colected to go into
the state treasury. The money so col
lected, according to the bill, would
be expended for the purposes of the
exposition.
All claims In connection with the
air. under the provisions of the bill.
would be paid upon vouchers aa other
state claims are paid and when the
fair books were closed and the prop
erty of the fair disposed of, all funds.
f there were any left, would be turned
nto the general fund of the state and
the tax commission would reduce the
next annual levy for the state by that
mount.
Mr. Bean said that the proponents of
the fair in and out of the legislature
openly declared at Salem during the
pecial session that they would rather
have no fair than to finance it by an
ncome tax.
