SALEM, Or., Jan. 26. Governor Chamberlain today sent to the legis lature a special message advising im mediate enactment of un emergency tax law to take tho place of the act declared by the Supreme court to be unconstitutional. The message was referred to the committee on assess ment and taxation, which will report a bill legalizing the present levies. In his message, the governor says .that In his opinion it would be necessary for the legislature to frame and pass a bill either making a levy or author izing the State Board of Apportion ment to make a levy for the year 1909. "This levy would necessarily be upon the vuluatlonB as they now stand upon the assessment rolls," shld the governor. "For there can be no equalization this year, and the legislature must assume that the assessors have done their duty In making assessments. Provision can then be made for an equalization of taxes for future years." The bill to be recommended by the assessment and taxation committee will be virtually a recast of the old tax apportionment law. In force up to 1901, when the lnvnlld fixed-ratio method was enacted. It will apply to taxes collected this year on 1908 valuations. For next and subsequent yenrs the legislature will provide some method of equalizing county valuations, probably through a board.

Under the fixed ratio which has boon . declared unconstitutional Douglas county's stnte tax this year would have been $43,987.
