"If Henry Ford were, guilty of malice for publication of articles he could be sued and judgment rendered," said "Gallagher. "If the publishing company were guilty It could be sued and damages col lected. And if both wero guilty of malice a verdict could he obtained against both."

J.O.Newland & Son USED CARS STATE ORDERS MERCHANTS TO FILE RETURNS (Conflnued from page 1.) judgment may seem just and nec essary, to the end that all taxable property In this state shall be list ed upon the assessment rolls and valued and assessed according to the provisions of law, and equaliz ed between persons, firms, com panies and corporations, and be tween the different counties of this stato, and between the differ ent taxing units, ?o that equality of taxation shall be secured accord ing to the provisions of law. , "Section 2. The state tax ' com mission is further authorized to ex amine and test, tfye work of county assessors at any time, and to have and possess all rights and powers of such assessors for the examina tion of persons, and property, and for the discovery of -property sub ject to taxation, and if it shall as certain that any taxable property Is omitted from the assessment list, or not assessed or valued ac cording to law, It shall bring the same to the attention of tho asses sor of the proper county In writ ing, and if such assessor shall ne glect or refuse to comply with the request of tho tax commission to place such property on the assess ment list, or to correct such incor rect assessment or valuation the tax commission shall have the pow er to prepare n r- ;iplement to such assessment list, which sup plement shall Include all property required by the tax commission to be placed on tho assessment list and all corrections required to be made. Such supplement shall be filto -with the assessor's assess ment list and shall thereafter con stitute an integral part thereof to I ho exclusion of all portions of the original assessment list inconsis tent therewith, and shall be sub mitted therewith to the county board of equalization. 'section 3. The tax commission shall have power to direct and to order any county board of equaliza tion to raise or lower the valua tion of any taxable property and to add such property to the assess ment list. The tax commission may require any such board of equalization to reconvene after Its adjournment for the purpose of performing any order or require ment made by tho tax commission mm may make such orders as it shall determine to be just and nec essary.

The law also contains a section that requires every public officer to comply with the tax commis sion's orders and if he shall ne glect or refuse to comply imme diately r.fter the order has been re ceived the commission may apply to a judge of the circuit court of the county in which the officer is located and obtain an order to com pel compliance with the Instruc Again Out Sells AH Six Cylinder Cars for 1927 Official registration figures for January and Febru ary, 1927, show BU1CK as usual leader of all six-cylinder cars in the state of Oregon and Multnomah county.

Returns Ordered - Acting under orders from thel tax conimiBsion tne assessors ot me statu are now sending out the blanks lor the confide jtiai reports j required of all business houses.': Tins return shows capital block, funded or other debts, current as-j sets and liabilities, value of prop-! erties, eu-uings, operating and other expenses, taxes, inventories, i and all such other information as j may be necessary to enable me aa-! sessor to ascertain the value of j hi piuperLy owiieu aim tue earn ings of the concern. These returns will be compared with the government income tax returna to determine if fraudulent ' reports are made. A penally of a fine of not less than $100 nor more ' than Jl.OOt) is provided as punish- I ment for furnishing a false return. The law was passed by the leg- islature upon presentation of state- i raents that big business concerns are escaping their Just share of; taxation. It was claimed before the legislature that many business houses are turning in low assess ments, through the information given the deputy county assessors and that they are thereby escap ing taxes which they rightfully should be paying. . Because of this situation the legislature passed the law requiring the filing of statements which will show the full assets of each business, to gether with the earning power, so that the commission may accurate ly determine the actual ' value of each business. From these figures it will be possible, It was thought, to place business houses upon the proper basis for taxing purposes. The blanks will be in the' hands of all merchants of the county by the end bf this week. Assessor Calkins says, and returns must be made within 20 days after the re ceipt of the blank. The reports are to be kept confidential by the as sessor and the tax commission and will not be open to public in spection. BIG FIGURES IN MINING WORLD ENTER WEEPAH (Continued from page 1.)
