_ SATURDAY, APRIL 16, 1971. BRT Wine Later the Rule, For years past the TRANSCRIPT has advocated a thorough: reform in the revenue system of the State for securs ing. equal. assessment anda mode of collection less burdensome upon tax~ payers. The last Legislature went so far as to provide fora State Board of ment of property, and the Board has done its work by issuing—instructions to Assessors throughout the State #8 to hew the assessment should be made-: The instructions are correct ana in accordance withthe system which bas heretofore been adopted in Nevada county, namely for the assessment of “property for its full cash value. But unfortunately for many of the counties, the taxes have been levied on the basis of the assessment of previous years, which was, in the majority of cases less than one-fifth the cash value. It assessors comply with these instructions, these counties will be caught out in the system adopted for the purpose of . swindling the State out of its share of the revenue, as the law requires the levy to be made before the first Mons day of April, and a change now may vitiate the ehtire levy, Santa Clara county is in this fix. % with the revenue, the Legislature made “an important omission. The State tax was levied for two years, and that levy was made on the basis of the old asment. As by the régulations of the Board the asseasment is to be increased about two-thirds on the average, the State tax will be just thet much heavs “thé State by this attempt at partial res form, have been compelled to pay just three times a8 much taxes to the State as ought to be requireth=—— This attempt to reform illustrates . the disadvantage of having a Legislature totally ignorant of an old law, ats tempting to accomplish a reform, and such acts of legislation have made our revenue system incongruous and almost beyond the comprehension of officers, A law is passed, or an amendment pass. ed without any regard to its bearing upon other statutes, and as a result, the people must suffer in consequence of the ignorance and neglect of lawmakers. We hope the revenue Commission now at work upon the code will devise a just system of revenue for the State, _ and that the people will elect a Legislature with good sense enough to adopt the system without ruining it by amendments. We want men in the Legislature who will spend less time in the settlement of national affairs and more in work for the interest of the State. We need less special. legislation and more of a character that will benefit the entire State. Fewer and. better } laws is what the State needs, with less partizanship and more earnest work for the State. ‘ In the present instance, this county having beén always assessed up to its valuation, will suffer little beyond bes ing burdened. with a State tax twor thirds larger than it ought to be. In other counties, where swindling assess. ments have been made, the county as well us the State tax is immeasurably large and the taxpayers begin to wince. They have been caught in their own trap and we are glad of it. é THE latest. novelty in .watchés for women is the erystal. It consists of a perfect sphere glass, inclosing a watch movement.

The pistol was a Colt’s six-shooter and was cocked and presented at Scadden who was driving. The robber demanded coin. Scadden and Williams began to talk with him, and-to inquire. why he was engaged in such business. He replied that he wanted coin and that quickly, and that he would shoot if they did not shell out. ° He said that he had a perfect right to shoot both of them, since white men in this country had employed Chinamen to work, and had thereby driven him to the road agency business. Scadden said he had no money, and &cadden asked Williams how much coin the latter had. Williams produced $750 and gave tlie of the road agent $2 50 to pay expenses jin town.
