C. AWARDS Indications axe there will be no appeal, either by the three railroads or the 29 counties involved, from the recent decision given by Judge J. Stanley Webster In federal court. If no appeal Ii taken, and authorities on both sides are reported to be about agreed, it will be almost unprecedented In legal circles, as between $16,000,000 and $17,000.000 are Involved in the case. The suit was filed In 1928 by the Northern Pacific, seeking on taxes for 1925 and 1926, by the Chicago-Milwatikee railroad seeking refunds for taxes in 1926 and 1927, and by the Spokane, Portland Sprat le seeking refund for 1928 taxes.

Since that time other suits have been filed by the railroads protesting the taxes for every year since the original suits. Would Stand as Law. While the facts may be somewhat different in the later suits, which have not yet been brought to trial, the lundamental principles are the same as those involved In the original suits. For that reason, 1f no appeals are taken from Judge Webster's decision, it will stand as the law and the other cames will be adjusted on the same basis without the necessity of a long-drawn-out trial. The reason that it Is believed there will be no appeal is that each side believes the decision was a victory for It.

In the decision by the special master, Ralph Kauffman of Ellensburg, the railroads were allowed a large reduction in taxation on the ground the ratio of taxation used in assessing their property was too high, and at the same time the valuations of their property for taxation purposes were greatly reduced. Webster Soothed Both. Judge Webster disagreed that there was discrimination in Wm ratio question and gave the railroads no redress on that point. He did, however, allow them a decrease In valuation of their properties from that set by the counties, but not as large a decrease as that allowed by the special master. Judge Webster's decision gave the railroads a refund of more than $1,000,000 on the taxes they had been paying, but it also reduced by aa large an amount the relief granted by the Fpecial master.

For that reason the decision is a victory for both sides. Attorney Sharpe, special representative for many of the counties in the case, recently gave out an interview In which he declared the decision a victory for the counties. A railroad attorney also announced that he thought it would be foolish to appeal. 1 P. I.

Frank R. Jeffrey, Seattle attorney and former United States attorney for eastern Washington, yesterday, in announcing that be would not become a republican candidate for governor, said: "The present administration has taken little interest and apparently no steps to solve those problems which are of paramount importance to the welfaro of the citizens of this state. "Our experience during the last two Years has shown that our banking laws have not been honestly administered. The people's saving deposits have been looted by dishonest banking officials; banks have been permitted to accept deposits from the unsuspecting depositors long after the banks should have been closed. It is time that we cleaned house and elect a governor who will eliminate waste and extravagance, and carry into effect a constructive program for the in of our problems.

"Aster carefully surveying the situation I am convinced that John A. Gellatly, republican candidate for governor, has a constructive, liberal and progressive program, and that he will urge and carry into effect most of the policies which have been my platform. He will have my hearty support, and I urge my many friends and supporters throughout the state to elect Mr. Gellatly in the interest of good, clean government and progressive republican principles." "We started work June 15, and in the first two weeks pulled out 2,200,000 bushes. The work is being paid for principally by the lumber companies, the department of agriculture putting up money to pay only for the supervision by experts.

"While we have scarcely touched the surface here in this district, in the New England states more than 000 acres are now under control. the disease were allowed to go unchecked, lumbering of white pine could go on for possibly 10 or 15 years, but there could be no second cutting. White pine lumbering has been abandoned in Russia, due to the work of the blister rust." Work will go on until the middle of September. Patrick J. Lane, who had many lodge credentials, was sent to prison yesterday for check forgery when he admitted he had never ridden a lodge goat.

Paul, Minneapolis, Council Bluffs, Duluth, Superior, Lincoln, Omaha or Denver Chief of Police Arthur L. Hooper yesterday announced that he will approve an application for retirement to be submitted by Jailer Joseph Hoffman at the August meeting of the police pension board. Hoffman, then head of the city dry squad, fell at his home early in 1931 and broke a leg. He was disabled for months and finally returned to work under Commissioner Lambert, then head of the police department, who gave Hoffman I light Job sorting traffic cards. When Chief Hooper became head of the police department last December he assigned Hoffman to walk a beat.

Hoffman claimed to be unable to walk and was supported by a certificate of the police pension surgeon. The matter went on in this way for months until six weeks ago when Hoffman was assigned as jailer. Recently Hoffman had another physical collapse followed by attacks of fainting and unconsciousness. Chief Hooper believes that it is best to let Hoffman get away from the strain of police duty and have a chance to regain his health.

The Northern Pacific went to great expense preparing briefs and arguments on its contention in the ratio question, and It it ever means to appeal on this point, now is the time to do it. But, despite the expense it went to, it its reported it is willing to accept the decision of the court. Many attorneys and tax experts who have read the decision term it a masterpiece of law and common sense. It fits directly, they say, into the advice an old lawyer gave a budding one who complained that he had a case in which all the law was on one 14 a and fairness and common sense on the other. "You'd better go back and study your law again," the old lawyer said.

A prediction of a material reduction In power charges for pumping in the Spokane valley, due to necessary improvements in the existing pumping units, was made yesterday by Frank T. Post, president of the Washington Water Power company, in discussing the valley irrigation power situation.

He said: "For several weeks the engineering department of the Washington Water Power company, under the direction of V. H. Oreisser, chief engineer, has been investigating the efficiency of the pumping system in Vera and Opportunity with a view of determining It the power bills can not be reduced by improving the efficiency of certain of the pumping units. Such investigallon is being made without cost to the Opportunity and Vera companies and with the knowledge of the two boards of directors. "Mr.

Oreisser has advised that it is Impossible to make an accurate determination while the pumps are being used for irrigation purposes, and hence he will be unable to make his report until after September 15. Copies of that report will be given to each company. "The studies so far made indicate that some of the pumping units are Inefficient and improvements can be made without excessive cost, which will materially reduce the expense for electric power, Mr. and Mrs. J.

Rasmussen Enjoined From Using Waste Paper Shredder. An injunction was granted by Judge J. Stanley Webster in federal court yesterday restraining J. H. Rasmussen from operation of machinery in his business, the Spokane Waste Paper company.

The court held the machinery was an infringement of patents held by Louie J. Antonsen, Seattle. The machine in question is one used for tearing paper for use as excelsior, the patent being valuable in that paper torn by this method makes an excelsior as effective as that made from wood and much cheaper. In the plant of the Northern Paper Stock company operated here by D. S.

Bennion is one of the Antonsen machines operated on a royalty Mr. Bennion testified that Mr. Rasmussen worked for him and became familiar with the machine and later went into business for himself and had a machine made like the Antonsen machine but just a little different. The owner of the company that made the machine for Rasmussen testified at the hearing in April that he was so instructed by Rasmussen. Judge Webster held that the functions of the machine were primarily the same and while the Rasmussen machine may have been a little different the basic principle was the same as that on which Mr.

Antonsen held the patent. Mr. Antonsen has several similar suits pending in other parts of the country and the decision here Is doubly important for that reason.
