2. The authorities here aud In San Francisco are considerably excited over au alleged plot to kill Mavor 1'ardee. of thi city. The police have in their possession threatening note. A few davs ago a middle aged woman, leaving the ferryboat at the foot of Broadway, dropped a package on the crosswalk, ind iu stooping over to pick It tip.

she dropped from her pocket a small card bearing the following note: Oakland, Dec. 2s. lsai. To Joseph: Have everything ready when the time arrives. Ha've dvnamite at Pardee's office next week.

Everything will work. Please burn this note. Your son. NICK." The card was picked up and given to the police, who, so far. have been unable to get a trace of the mysterious woman.

That the police fear that the threatened attack may be niatb is shown by the fact that they have assigned police in citizens' attire as a bodyguard for the mayor. Police also guard the mayor'a residence nightly and the San Francisco police have established regular watch at the entrance of the mayor's ofHce.v The mayor recently vetoed an ordinance passed by the city council to restore to the people of Oakland ttie privilege of riding free on Southern Pacific trains in the city limits, he believing that the ordinance was illegal, and the veto has been the snbject of much severe criticism among the poorer class of people. The police declare that certain malcontent have been heard to make ugly threats. II THE IsVW, OS ASSESSMENTS.

The assessment roils were closed and filed before the 1st of June. 1SU3. On that day the defendants dissolved their partnership and disposed of their stock of merchandise and capital invested, the property assessed. Prior to dissolution, a seizure of said property for the city taxes due hereon was effected by the city treasurer; but the seizure was released, by consent of parties, in order to refer to the court the question whether the defendants were liable for the tax for the whole year 18U3. or only that part of the year during which they remained in business, namely, from Jan.

1 to June 1. the defendante agreeing and promisiug to pay the tax in case of an adverse decision. The form of action. In which the settlement of this mooted question is sought, is a rule calling ou defendants to show cause why they should not deliver to the city treasurer the property assessed, "to the end that the aaine may be sold at public sale in order to realize the amount of the tax, costs, penalties." etc. This proceeding is predicated on the second paragraph of section 54 of act No.

S5 of 1SSJ4. as amended by act No. 100 of 1890. which makes it the duty of the official charged with the collection of taxes, when personal property liable for a tax assessed against it cannot be seised, either because of its nature, or cause the owuer holds or controls it in such a manner that it cannot le reached, to take, in the court of proper Jurisdiction, a upon the owner, returnable wiihlu five davs, to compel the delivery of said personal property, or so much thereof us may be necessary to realize at public sale the amount of the taxes, costs and penalties. By the first paragraph of the same section the tax collector 1 directed, whenever irnv part of the proK'rty assessed has been parted with, concealed or disposed of bv tbe tax debtor, to enforce the collection "of the tax by seizure and sale of any other property belougiug to bnu.

But. before other property can be seized the tax collector's inability to reach the personal property liable for the. tax must be made to appear by a rule taken ou the tax detrtor. as set forth. The rule is a mode of putting the tax debtor In mora, without which the seizure of other property than that liable for the tax Ls unauthorized.

Such has been the construction placed uon section 54 in Meyer vs. Tax Collector. 41 440. 442. aud Oterl vs.

Tax Collector. 42 374, 3JSJ. It is, therefore, manifest that tbe tax debtor cauuot plead iu answer, as has been done here, that he has parted with or disposed of the property for the object of the rule ia precisely to have Uiat fact judicially ascertained, and the maintenance of such a i.efense would in effect be decreeing that a fax collector can, by his own act. evade pi yuiint of bis taxes bv making it Impossible for the tate or city to reach the property as Hence the argument which seeks to limit liability for taxes ou merchandise aud cavira! to that portion of the year during which the tax debtor was engaged In business and retained ownership of his property is untenable. It finds Its refutation in the very text of the statute which provides a means of collecting faxes on in Jut such a ntiHngeticv as the ills.ippea ranee or of the property by sale or otherwise, and which holds t.he tax debtor so far personally liable for the taxes' "nior th" e.dlevtl'jU.

out of any of hU movable effects. 1 lie t.i ii.w.ili.y pends npon the existence of the property at the time the tax becomes due. The tax is due. that is to say. the property owes The tax as soon as the assessment is completed and the tax rolls have byn filed iu the mortgage ofliee.

So the statute reads: the supreme court has held hi Ice Oomrranv vs. Tlx Collector. 42 tnai; and so It stands to reason. The validity and effect of an assessment cannot be made to depend ou a fact subsequent, such as the destruction, dis possession or disposal of the property niiipKiml. How could the state's revenues be estimated or a city budget be framed as contended bv defendants, taxes on movable property are to be reduced tro tauto wnenever the property owing the tax has been destroyed or parted The law has not provided a method of taxation for part of a year, it looks 10 the levy of an annuel tax: ami.

according as tiie property is in ex isienee at rhe time the annual tax is levied, so Is the tax foe the entire year Que. In this Instance, not only was the taxed property extant when the tax became due. but it was actually seized for payment of the tax. Surely the dissolution "of defendant' firm and the dis posal of its assets after the seizure can not tlect the rights 'acquired by tue city thereunder. And although it be true that tne seizure was released In order to te.t in court the defendants' liability, nevertheless the fact of the seizure remains; and even assuming that defendants might have been heard to claim a rednctlon had the seizure not been made, still the rights of the parties must be determined hi cording to the state of filings existing at thettrme the city sought to collect tiie tax; and, viewing the seizure as a mere demand of payment, it will hardly be seriously claimed that the mere In tention of the tax debfor to subsequently dispose of property would have been a sufficient reason ror rer using payment.

The case of Traction Company vs. City of New Orleans. 45 has no bearing upon the anestbm at issue. There the subject of inquiry was whether certain eleotrie traction "cars and machinery adapted thereto, manufactured by the plaintiff company, were exempt fr mi taxation as running part of tlie capital employed iu the manufacture of articles of wood. And It was held that they were a mere form iuto which the capital 'iii ploved in the business had temx.rarily passed, and hence were exempt as long as the company remained business.
