In a Quandary
The State Tax Commission
ins taken a step that puts it in
square collision with tho Attor
ney General. It is well known
hat over hall a million dollars
of taxes are held to bo uncollect-
bio in the various counties in
which tho forfeited land grants
n western Oregon are located.
Proceeding on tho theory thnt
ie title to z, 10, 7uuu acres 01
and embraced in tho Oregon
California land grant continues
to be vested in tho Oregon Cali
fornia Railroad Co. until tho
nited States Supremo Court
innlly decides a suit instituted
by the government to nave trie
amis forfeited, tho btnto Tax
Commission has notified all Ore
gon ussessors to assess the land
in the name of the company.
Assessor B. ! . Keeney of Lane
county was surprised when
notified of this action of the
Stato Tax Commission. Only a
short time ago he received an
opinion from Attorney General
Crawford, advising him not to
assess these lands, "lamina
quandary," said the assessor.
1 hardly know wnat to do. 1
am not aeciciea as to wuo is
boss' in this matter whether
he attorney general's advice is
to bo followed, or whether to
obey the ruling of the State Tax
Commission. If we put these
ands on the roil we will have to
nav our snare ot tne state tax
on them, yet we will get nothing
from the property. aB the rail
way company has refused to pay
tie taxes until the suit is set
tled. If wo are compelled to as
sess this property this year, tho
county will lose a large sum of
money by reason of the railway
company's refusal to pay tho
tax.' Contributed.
