BTtUMO It's about time for caudldaUe for oounty offices to be looming up, so that the voters may have an opportun ity to figure out for whom they will vote at the primary election, The new election law is likely to be pro ductive of a strenuous oampalgn, at It makes it longer and iu faot is two campaigns in one.

The tax levy made by tbe oounty oourt Is the lowest In the history of Jaokson oounty. The low rate is dun primarily to the inorease in valu ation of taxable property. Valuations nave been raised by the assessor and tht volume of taxable property hoe also Increased materially. Tax payers will probably not find a great deal of difference in tbe amount of taxes paid luBt year and the amount tbey will be oalled upon for tbla year. There is juBt so muoh money to be raised whether with a low valuation and a high rate, or by a high valuation and a low rate but the latter looks bettor to people from the outside.

There has been more or lees said during the past week over the faot that tbe city tax levy was not filed with the oounty clerk within the time prescribed by the state law, and the impression was prevalent, to a certain extent, that there could be no levy for taxes for municipal purposes this year. The state law provides that such levies Bball be filed with the county clerk not later than January 1st oi each year, while the Medford city oharter fixes tbe time of filing at not later than January 20th, and right there was where the mixup occurred. Following the charter Recorder Hart' zell did not file the levy until aftei the 1st of January, and County Clerk Orth, aoting under tbe state law, re' uaed to receive it. It is the opinion of attorneys, however, that the imper ative jurisdiction given the city taj the provisions of its oharter will ren! der the action of the city recorder t legal one and that the county couri will take that view of the matter and admit the levy, espeolally as the fail uro to collect taxeB for this year would work a great hardship ;upon this oityj A somewhat similar caBe occurred at Corvallis, only in this Instauoe the oity oouncil failed to make any levy1 at all, but Attorney Genoral Crawford rendered an opinion. to the effeot that the action of the oounty court in re-j oeiviug the levy after the prescribed! time would be legal.
