.The test case, brought to deter­
mine whether there cau be a valid
levy of the tales of 1903, has been
passed upon by the trial court and
will probably reach the supreme
court next week. In view of the
great importance of the suit to every
city and county in the state, it is
thought that the upper court will
give it immediate consideration.
A decision is expected within a
very short time.
The suit was brought by Mis.
Martha L. Flanders, for herself and
all other taxpayers of Multuomah
county, and an injunction was ask­
ed restraining the cqunty from
making any further expenditures
on the 1903 assessment roll, on the
ground that all money so expended
will be thrown away, as there is
now no legal provision for the levy
of this year’s iftxe“ The suit woe
filed last week, William*, Wood
and Linthicum appearing for the
complainant. A demurrer was
promptly entered by Judge C. H.
Carey, representing the oouQty, and
the case came up yesterday after­
noon before Judge Cleland upon
the issue thus joined.
As it is the desire of all parties te
the suit to get it before the supreme
court as early as possible, no time
was lost in argument before the
trial court. The proceedings were
purely formal and Judge Cleland
entered a decree overruling the de­
murrer, which is equivalent to a
decision that there can be no valid
levy of this year’s taxes. An ap­
peal was at once prayed by the
oeunty and the abstract of the
record is now being prepared.
If the case proceeds ss expediti­
ously as is hoped the people of
Oregon will probably know by the
middle of October whether there
can be a valid levy of the taxes of
1903. An adverse decision by the
supreme court then would raise
the practical question whether there
should be a special session of the
legislature to remedy the defect in
the law.—Oregon Journal.
