A resolution to this ted at erday after- of the convention of the Association of the State of | fornia, following an Interesting ement by Dr. Dodge, Assessor of -Francisco. Dr. Dodge presented the lution, which follows: solved, That the conveation is in favor parating the scurces of State from county | favors such a gradual revision laws as will make it possibic State purposes by means ral property tax, which ate revenue is in vogue in sessment as high as $25 each in a number of counties and as low as %10 In a majority of the counties, When we come to land we find land of the same character assessed at widely varying figures; while in some counties we f it asseseed at 80 per cent of its market val . Dodge spoke briefly in favor of h'g lution, making a clean cut and con- ng argument in favor of reco ling that the legislative committee nstructed to give the matter a goodly of its attention. The resoluticn unanimously adcpted. Chairman ldressed the convention in proposed innovation.

E. Dowd of Son chairman of the executive comm reported that the committee was in favor of forming a permanent or- ganizaticn. The report met with the | hearty approval of the convention and was quickly adopted. The convention in- | ® | structed the committee to formulate plan of organization and present it at the | opening of the convention this morning. T. H.

It has been assert:d that u sessing property at its full value wovll mean an in ase of taxatios This is incorrect.

T erroneous acts that both r | tate and personal property shall be taxed alike at full value. But in practice such is not the | case. Most of the personal rty assesseé | stocks and bond wh sessed, are usually listed at full valuation, while it Is realty which is favored with a lower b: of valuation. WORKS AN INJUSTICE.

The tul must be first determined, | before any perey of this can be deter- mined whether it be 60 per cent or 70 per cent, and it Is always possible to arrive at a con- clusion as to full value, with more exactness, | than it is at any percentage of full value Any tendency to valuation in excess of full | yalue may be checked by an appeal to the Boards of Equalization. But the main point in favor of this plan is that thereby greater equity would be secured as between payers. This s of greatest im- | portance to the individual taxpayer. Any tax- | payer who is paying taxes on a larger per- | centage ot market value than his neighbor | has a right to complain of the igustice done him. He is in effect paying half Of his neigh- | bor's tax out of his own pocket, It his prop- erty Is assessed at 80 per cént of its value, and his neighbor's at but 40 per cent Above all. our laws recognize this method of full valuation of all property, as the only way of securing equal taxation, and have laid it down as the method to be followed METHODS IN OTHER CITIES. In many of the cities of the United States MAK”S WRONG PLAY AND IS HELD FOR BURGLARY Joseph McBride’s Anxiety to Oblige a Policeman Leads to His Undoing. Joseph McBride was held to answer in $2000 bonds before the Superior Court by Police Judge Mogan yesterday on a | charge of burglary. On the morning of December 18 the window of M. W. New- man's fur store, 288 Ellis street, was broken and several articles stolen. Mc Bride told Policeman Hayden a few min- utes later that he bud seen the broken | window, and Hayden did not suspect him till two or three days later, when he dis- covered the stolen articles in a valise in McBride's room. 8. Nohara, a Japanese, was held to an- swer by Police Judge Cabaniss on a charge of assault to murder in $2000 bonds. He and T. Kuwahara, 414 Steven- son street, were employed at the Union Iron Works, and while on their way home on December 12 at Fifth and Brannan | streetsANohara shot Kuwahara, the bul- | let passing through one of his lungs. No- hara then attempted to commit sulcide, but the bullet only made a flesh wound in his neck. Paul Grossman was held to answer by Police Judge Fritz on a chatge of bur- glary in $1000 bonds. He entered a room at 639 Clay street January 7 and stole twenty blankets, which he pawned. SIS 5 PR it Bunko Man Will Be Held. Police Judge Fritz announced yesterday afterncon that he would hold James Johnscn, an alleged bunko man, to an- swer before the Superior Court on a charge of grand larceny, but at the re- quest of the defendant’s attorney he post- poned making the formal order till to-day. The Judge advised the defendant’s attor- ney to apply for a writ of habeas corpus, remarking it was the strongest case of the kind that had ever come before himn and if the higher court held that the evi- dence was Insufficient there would be no vse in hearing any more cases of the kind. The case against J. B. Johnson was dismissed. Johnson was accused of tricking A. J. Sheridan of Paxton, Nebr. out of checks aggregating $119 on Sur day, January 4. —————— Shoplifting Girls Sent Home. Lena Wohlers and Julia Sylvester, the two girls who were caught in Weinstock, Lubin & Co.’s store Saturday with a num- ber of stolen articles in their possession, appeared before Police Judge Fritz ve terday. A clergyman gave Lena a good character, saying that she attended his Bunday-school and he was preparing her for confirmation. The Judge decided to send the girls to their homes on proba- tion and continued the matter till Satur- day, instructing Officer MeMurray of the California Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children to make an investi- gation meantime and report. ——————— To Give German Play. | The members of the, German Theatrical mpany of San Francisco, under the management of Hugo Breitter, will pre- sent the four-act comedy entitled “Robert and Bertram, or the Merry Tramps” next Sunday evening at Turn Hall, 353 Turk street, The principal parts will be taken by Hugo Breitter, Arthur Fischer, Carl Schaffer, Miss Reta de Rovey and M Hattle Miller ' | a concert of | ject and not intensi urged against such | oo | nually at such time and plac; @ el ful and benescial ‘co-operation of the it _might easily it has been proved succe: By united action with U State Board of Equalization and successfully be instituted.

But by conference and agreement among oureelves as assessors, many of the inequalities taxation now existing may be done away . May it not be hoped that some plan may be devised by which we may achieve this object? Ben Ward, Assessor of Los Angeles Qounty, followed Dr. Dodge and made an impromptu talk dealing in a way with the ideas set forth in Dr. Dodge’s paper. He Indorsed Dr. Dodge's principles and ed that he had through practical ex- | perience come to the conclusion that many of his ideas were correct and prac- tical. He related what he had done to | get st the personal property that was | escaping taxation. Ward stated that | during his first year in office he increased | the personal property tax fully $6,000,000, Assessor Ira Park of Marin County created quite a little amusement among the members of the convention by relat- ing a story of how he raised the ass ment of a property holder of this city, who was a resident of Marin County from $00 to $30M. Dr. Dodge finished Assessor, Park's story by stating that hen the matter was called to his at- tention he raised the assessment on the property from $3000 to $5000 and said that | the property holder swore that he would | see to it that Dr. Dodge would never be | elected again. | During the afternoon the committee on permanent organization brought in the following report: Your committee on vermanent organizatic recommel that the name of this as: i tion be he Assessors’ Assoclation ol fornia''; that the officers of this ass be presiden t retary treasurer and mmittees as this may select annually, and that the present offi- uch cers and committees next meeting; be continued that the association until the meet an- as may be agreed upon at the previous meeting.

HOLLOWAY & co. 1 Commerce &t., Philadelphia’ BIG SENSATION PROVES A HIZZLE Circuit Court Decides| J. B. Pownall Did Not Falsify. His Affidavit in Rawhide Case the Result of a Misconception. What bid fair to be a sensational case came to a mild termination yesterday afternoon, when it was proven to the sat- isfaction of Judge Morrow of the United States Circuit Court that the affidavit of J. B. Pownall, representing the Tuolumne County Water Company in its motion to have the attachment levied upon it by the Rawhide Mining Company dissolved, was not a willful deceit, but prompted by u misunderstanding of terms. It developed in the argument before the court that three agreements had been en- tered into between the Rawhide mine and the Tuolumne Power Company, and that while the mining company had succeeded in securing an attachment upon the ele tric power company for violation of the alleged agreement, the affidavit of the plaintiff in the motion to dissolve the at- tachment is based on another agreement. The original complaint of the Rawhide Mining Company was that the Tuolumne County Water Company and umne Electric Light Company had agreed to buy the Rawhide's power plant for $150,000, payment to be made in power furnished to the Rawhide and App mines. | | This the power company failed to do, ac cording to the affidavit of A. H. Ricketts, attorney for the Rawhide. The further charge that J. B. Pownall of the electric power company had falsi- fied- in his answering affidavit threatened to result in a sensation, but the opinion of the court sets the matter at rest. In the Divorce Court.
