Boweutt is 'charged with assaulting one Clarence Tope with a revolver. The evidence produced by the state at the preliminary hearing tended- to show that Tope and hie wife, together with Boweutt and some other people, were having an automobile party and stopped at a Japanese hotel to eat. According to the testimony, Boweutt was paying too mnch attention to Topes wife, and Tope objected to it in no uncertain terms. Boweutt, who was armed, attempted to reach for hia gun, but was prevented by others in the party. He was bound over by H. 8. Bobinett, justice of the peace at Price and his hail was fixni ed at a thousand dollara. Eugene and John Beltramo went his bail and Boweutt was released. When the ease was ealled in the district court, it was learned that Boweutt had left Carbon county, ostensibly to find work, but neglecting to leave hie address. One of his bondsmen reported this fact to the county attorney abont a week ago, and each steps were taken as could be done in an attempt to locate him, bnt without snoeess. County Attorny Harmon reported to the eonrt that the hondenwn wished tp be released from the bond; and this Caused Judge Christensen to remark in the presence of the jnty upon the sac redness of the bond obligation and tiw fnet that it is too easy for persons charged with crime to get ont of being punished. Judge Christensen warned the jurors and all others present in the eourt to beware of anyone asking them to go their bonds and not to sign bonds unless that time.

The greater part of this revenue eomes from the gasoline tax end is used for road purposes. The $20,000,000 tax has been raised from levies on property and almost all of it has eome from tangible property. During the past year or two less than one and a half per eent of this has been raised from the tax on intangible property. Approximately 52 per cent of nil the general property taxes eome from real estate and buildings. A little, more than 25 per eent eomes from mines and utilities. The remainder is levied on live stock tnd other forms of tangible property. Is this levy wrong? Should we continue to raise the hulk of the revenue for the various public purposes in the same manner that we are now doing? Let ue look deeper into the problem and ue if we can find an answer to this question. Ability to Pay Taxes. Examine the situation from a standbe point of ability to pay taxes became after all that is one of the fundamental questions in any plan of taxaSome tion. Is there any consideration in s property tax as to ones ability to pay? No, because property ownership does not represent taxable ability. The sole question in a property tax is could so s. determination of the value of the property in question. True, certain classes of property have s market value which u determined by their earnall ing capacity bnt this is not true of all property nor is it true of any proparty at all times because thore are eirenmstanees when property has no earning capacity whatsoever but still is has a msiket value. .The sole question whieh the assessor most decide is is how mueh a given piece of property is worth on the market regardless of weeks its part or present earning capacity. a Once that is determined and the assessment placed on tiw tax roll the levies are applied against inch valuir tion. age, This brings ns to tiw very heart of Watas C.
