Tho opponents of tiie public docks
bill and tide land amendment have re
peatedly asserted that if those meas
ures passed waterfront property which
la now being assessed and taxed will
b removed from the tax rolls.
They have advanced this arfrument
to try to make gmaW taxpayers believe
that as a result of this valuable prop
erty being removed from the tax rolls,
the taxes of said small taxpayers will
be correspondingly increased
page 219, says:
"If these leaseholds are not taxable,
they are a favored class of property;
for ordinarily leaseholds are taxed
even if they are lumped and Included
In the value of the fee. When an In
terest In land, whether freehold or for
years Is severed from the public do
main and put Into private hands, the
natural Implication Is that it goea
there with the ordinary incidents of
private property, and therefore is sub
ject to being taxed."
It thus appears that no property
whatsoever would be removed from
the assessment rolls or be free from
taxation where such, property is leased
by the state.

Those who are now so concerned
about. waterfront' property being taken
off the assessment rolls have at no
time done anything to have waterfront
. property assessed in the same propor
tion to its selling value as is the prop
erty of the state generally.
llut ia it true tuat if these meas

to determine the correctness of this
position, It must be ascertained wheth
er tidelands held under a leasehold
Inter. at would be a proper subject of
taxation. If they are a proper sub
ject of taxation, it is evident that
r.o property whatsoever wotifd be re
moved from the tux rolls, as a result
of tho leasing system.
Over In the state of Washington
there is a constitutional prohibition
against the sale of tidelanls, within
cities and towns, that occupy an area
running along harbor lines and paral
lel therewith, which varies from 60
tcet to 600 feet, and in the case of
Trimble vs. the City of Seattle, 116
I'acific Reporter page 67. the ques
tion arose whetRer a leasehold inter
est ln tid-'Iafids could be the subject
of taxation. In that cas!, the su
preme court of the state of Washing
ton, says:
Decision Is Cited.
"The learned attorneys for c the re
spondent have expressed so clearly the
atatus of the law of tMa case that we
take pleasure ln incorporating " their
language in this opinion and adopting
It as a part of the opinion of the
court. It Is said: 'There is a clear
distinction to be noted between leasea
between private parties and leases
granted by the state in- respect to
taxes and assessments In leases be
tween private parties the entire estate
1b, at the time of the execution of the
lease, ln private ownership, subject to
taxation- and assessment. Whether the
land is used or not, leased or not.
taxes are levied against the entire
estate, -and in leasing it the question
of taxes and assessments against the
land as a whole becomes one of the
" elements necessarily affecting the
consideration of the lease. In a lease
grantedby the public, however, the
fee is not taxed, being public prop-
ferty, and the question of taxes does
' not enter into the consideration. After
the state's lease Is granted, the lease
hold interest passes into the common
mass of private property, completely
fevered: from the remaining non-taxable
state fee, so far as the matter of
taxation was concerned; stripped from
the remaining fee tfiterest as fully as
if the state had sold one of two state
tldelnnd lots. Tho estate sold was
puuilc. Is now private; was not tax
able, is now taxable; and th question
of when and to what extent the' tax
ing power of the state shajh be exer
cised' upon the tideland lot sold or
the tideland lease sold by the state ln
no wise entered into the consideration
, in the sale of the lot or the sale of
the lease.
Private Interest Taxable.
i'"After the tideland lot is sold. It
broomes private property, and the en
tire private interest is taxable; after
the Jdeland lease is sold. It becomes
private property, and the entire pri
vate Interest Is taxable. True, it must
be taxed as separate entity from the
(public foe, but it is nevertheless sub
jjeetJVa the common burden of taxa
tlon? '
'" "Put outside of general authority, we
think this question has been ?put at
rest by the decisions of this court. In
' Moeller vs. Gormley. 44 Wash., 465, 87
Pac. 607, it was held that a leasehold
interest In tidelands under leases from
the state is subject to taxation. While

We are in receipt of your letter of

referred our letter and circular to the

and that he would submit same to the
grand Jury.
You have not shown tofour satisfac
tion that the statements, r made by
Bushong & Co. are false, lfaMse;juently,
we can see no reason why'oiir actions
can in any way be a violation of this
section, even in 6pirit. We asked only
such questions as related to statements

not yet answered.
It seems to us that you have tried

that we have violated the law. You
attempt to answer by quoting prices

quote prices paid for printing the pri

Voters have " not been sufficiently
impressed with the importance of the
non-partisan judiciary bill as an agen
cy for taking the courts out of poli
tics, according to Judge Henry E. Mc
Ginn, of the circuit court of Multno
mah county. Judge McGinn declared
today that the pernicious- control of
courts through insidious processes of
party influence is a menace to true
justice.
"Four years ago the effort to secure
a non-partisan judiciary in Multnomah
county failed because of party nomina
tions," said Judge McGinn. "We tried
to put two Democrats on a bench of
five judges and failed. We are now
seeking to nominate men for what they
stand for as individuals, ana not De
cause of the label opposite their names.
Method Is Adopted Generally.
"The method is being adopted gener
ally everywhere and the reform of our
judicial system, was urged by President
Wilson before the American Bar asso
ciation. "This reform can never become a
realty unless there comes an absolute
divorcement between partisan politics
and those charged with the duty of
doing justice between man and man.
"The people should know what Pres

that national assemblage October 19.
If a day were taken at stated intervals
to study this address, people in timo

know the commonest tbingB of life.
Then reform In our judicial system
would be possible. With what clear
thought he epitomized the duty of the
lawyer and of all good citizens when
he said: '
" 'We are custodians of the apint of
righteousness, of the spirit of equal
handed justice, of the spirit of hope
which believes in the perfectibility of
the law., of the perfectibility u human

Th non-partisan Judiciary bill was
initiated by W. M. Davis. ,It prohibits
