TAX NAY BE FOUGHT Corporation Levy Expected to Cause Legal Contests. DOUBLE RATE IS ALLEGED Attorney for O.-W. R. X. Inti mate Intention of Oppoeln Pay ment and Other Companies Are Expected to Proteet. Lcral complication arc expected to follow th demand of the City Auditor for the payment March 1 by the pub-llc-eervlce corporations supplying fa and electricity to the public, of the per cent corporation tax voted for by the people under the Initiative at the last reneral election. Notices of the tax are belnv prepared by the Auditor and will be In the bands of all Uicht and ft companies on or before March 1. City Attorney Grant said yesterday that he believes the companies will op pose the measure In the courts. At torneys for the O.-W. R. A N. Com pany have already Intimated an Inten tion of eontestlae the tax. and It Is thought the tner eomsaaoee Involved will take the same step on the ground of double taxation. Lsal Battle Expected. The result probably will be that the elty will not be able to collect the tax until lengthy legal contests are com pleted. It la thought probable the proposition will work Its way to the hlehest tribunal of the state and prob ably to the Supreme Court of the United States. The measure as passed by the people places a S per cent tax on the gross earnings of the corporations, and. If legal, wilt bring the city a large rev enue each year because the measure Is supposed to affect all companies of the city. Including the Portland Ball way. Light Power Company, the Mount Hood Railway A Power Com pany, the railway companies which manufacture gas for passenger and Pullman cars, compsnlee which furnish lights for buildings and all gas com panies which either manufacture the gas or supply It from natural sources. It Is understood the contention of the opposition will be that the tax Is on the same product which Is taxed In the franchises granted to the compa nies, or some of them at least. Attor ney Grant says he has not gone Into the question very thoroughly, and Is not able to make a comprehensive statement as to the status of the fran chises and the assessments provided,. Big RmiM Expected. The tax notice will be sent to all concerns supplying gss or eleotrlolty and. If all pay. It Is estimated that the total tax will amount to approximately ISO.eOt a year. Already Mayor Rushlight is arrang ing to use the money for building a municipal repair plant to ssto the city n large amount annually In repairing city vehicles and shoeing city horses. He says he haa not gone very far with his arrangements along that line beoaose of the uncertainty of the tax. but declares the money could not be contributed to a bettsr cause than the repair plant. Officials of the Portland - Railway. Light i Power Company have not In timated their Intention of contesting the measure as yet. but are expected to be heard from aa soon as the tax no tices are sent to them. The Portland Oas A Coke Company attorneys have not announced their Intention, either. - Whether the city will be confronted with only one general lawsuit to test out the law or will be made defendant In a. series of notions remains to be seen.' It Is the opinion of those Inter ested that there will be several suits to test out not only the general legality of the law, but also various phases. In cluding the right to collect from com panies not holding franchises and those holding franchises upon which a tax Is made. Whether or not one suit oould be made to cover all the ques tions Involved seems doubtful. ECCLES WINS DEED CASE President of Sompter Valley Road Gets Verdict Against Woman. BAKER. Or.' Feb. H.

Mrs. Oulnn will ap peal the ease to the Oregon Supreme Court. LIBERAL VIEW IS URGED RIGHT TO CARRT CONCEALED WEAPON'S IS CONSIDERED. Defense la Case of Chinese Argues That Law Should Be Given Wide Interpretation. Plea" of exterritoriality was evaded only by a few feet. In Municipal Court yesterday, when Sam Sing, watchman for Moy Back Hln, formerly Imperial Chinese Consul, and now holding a similar office under the Republican government, was on trial for carrying a concealed weapon. The testimony showed that the accused was a yard or so outside of the sacred precincts at Seoond and Salmon street, which by International law, Is not American but Chinese territory. While balked of setting up a de fense on these grounds, Thomas CDay, for the defense, made a spirited at tack on the rigid enforcement of the new concealed weapons ordinance, which Imposes a fine of not less than 50 for carrying conoealed a deadly weapon, within the corporate limits. The attorney figured that this would forbid one to have a revolver under his pillow in his own home, and he made citations to show that the statute must be construed liberally. The city argued that the law was plain and forbade the carrying- of a con cealed weapon without exception. Moy Back Hln testified that he handled $3000 dally in advances to can nerymen and others, and employed a Deputy Sheriff at nights to guard the consulate, using 8am Sing as wat'eh- man the rest of the time. A special policeman In he employ of the Hop Sing Tong made the arrest. The Hop Sings, to which company the alleged murderers of Sold Bing belong, have answered accusations that tbev are seeking to Intimidate the prosecution, by charging that threats have been made against some of their members who are active for the defense. Moy Back Hln said he had been In formed that highbinders were coming from San Francisco, and as he had been threatened some years ago and was carrying extra large amounts of money at this time In anticipation of the Chinese new year, he needed tje protection. The weapon taken from Sam Sing apparently was quite new. The contention of liberal construc tion was new to the Judge, and he an nounced that he would take the case under advisement, and If he found the defendant guilty, would grant a sus pension of sentence. Lim Gow, who said he was 18 years old and had worked for eight years in one restaurant, was arrested by the same officer because he showed fight when an attempt was made to search him. He bit the policeman and a citizen who came to the rescue. The court thought the offloer had exceeded his authority and discharged the defendant. $88,808 SUIT IS FILED Phone 'Firm Takes Action Against California Concern. . John B. Coffey, receiver of the North western LongDIstance Telephone Com pany, yesterday received from Clroult Judge Gatena. by whom he was appoint ed, authorization to file suit against the National Securities Company, of Cali fornia, for $88,908.74. This Is an amount which Charles E. Sumner, wnose peti tion led to the receivership, declares William Mead and associates "Juggled" the telephone company out of after they had obtained control of both corpora tions. The complaint seta forth that the Na tional Securities Company entered Into a oontraot with William Mead and Charles E. Sumner, then sole stockhold ers of the Northwestern Long Distance Company, to purchase $550,000 worth of the telephone company's bonds at 80, advancing the money as needed for construction purposes, and that the PARK & TILFORD'S.
