Multnomah county recently had trouble with custodians of the school fund in that county, the same having been paid out of the treasury for other purpose than that for which it waa collected. In lookimr up the matter the school board requested the opinion of Judge Thayer, and without going into the details or legal points of that opinion the conclus ions are here given. Concerning the using of the tax collected for one fund to meet another obligation, Judge Thayer rays: "No tax shall be levied except in pur suance of the law, and every law impos ing a tax shall ataie distinctly the ob ject of the same, to which only it shall be applied. How thea can there be any pretense of riicht in the county treasurer to pay the state tax out of such fund? It would be a direct application of fund to another purpose than that for which they were raised. The practice of pay ing to the state treasurer state taxes out of moneys collected and paid into the county treasury without regard to the purpose for which the moneys Wire rait-ed." Aa to the manner of levying the state tax, he says: "It requires an estimate of the expense for the ensuing fiscal year to be made np, a deduction from the sum to'al io he made of any surplus in the state treasury, not applied by law to some special purpose, and spec ifies that the remainder shall be tbe total amount of revenue to be raised tbe ensuing year for state purposes; direct that it be apportioned among the several counties of the state according to the total amount of taxable property in each be levied and collected in the manner other taxes are levied and collected and paid over to tbe state treasurer. The several counties have no alternative but to raise the amount apportioned to them respectively, and to pay it over in full on or before the first Monday of February in each year. They have no means of realizing the required amount except through tbe mode indicated in said provision of statute, enters i' i," fers an incidental power upon cou. w to provide for it in some other way, which it doubtless does. If tbe exaction cannot be made through tbe levy and collection provided, the counties most certainly have the power to accomplish it throuuh auxiliary measures. They should have the right to anticipate a de linquency in the collections of tbe tax, and to make such provision as would enable them to promptly apply it. This probably could be accomplished by in creasing the levy for county purposes so as to enablo them to meet such de ficiency, aa it necessarily Is an expense? to tbe county. Nor would it perhaps be any irregularity for the county to Day such deficiency out of the moneys raised in the county for the general county ex penses. But to take money out of a fund created for another and destinct purpose to pay it with, even under an express statutory direction to that efiect, would accord to a legislative Hat more authority than to a constitutional inhibition. Sec tion 2593, Hill's Code, as originally adopted, or as amended by the act of 1893, laws of 1893, page 90, is a law im posing a tax. It distinctly states its ob jects, and how can any part of the fund it provides be applied to another pur pose witn out directly violating said section 3 of article 9 of the state consti tution? If such a course were permitted the amount of the fund and the time when it could be lealized would be pre carious, indeed, would depend largely, in both repects, upon the success of the tax collector in collecting the delinquent list. Said fund must be kept by the county intact, subject only to apportion ment by the county superintendent, as provided by subdivision 5, section 2590, Hill's code." Among the featured of the Argonaut for March 12th are "The Thirst for Gold ; A Story of a Lost Mine," by Frank Rob bins; "A Vicomte's Vagary ; How Gas ton de Bonyille Mingled Amateur Medi cancy and," translated from the French of Leon tie Tinsean ; a letter from Paris, . describing tbe Vicomtesse de Tredern, & Parisian grande dame: a letter from New York on the newest theatrical events: and a long review, with copious extracts, of "A Bundle of Life," by John Oliver Hobbs, the literary sensation ot the day.
