CASE DENIED COLiH
I
States Attorney Contends
Penalty Question Is Leg
islative Matter.
DECISION DUE NEXT WEEK
fudge Clccton Asks for Brief of Ar
gument on Suit in Which Judge
i McGinn Recently Ruled He
Could Not Take Action.
' The question Df whether all taxes
should1 be paid in one sum or in two or
four installments, and whether a
penalty should attach for deferred pay
ment, is a legislative and not a judi
cial matter, argued Deputy District At
torney Pierce yesterday in resisting
the petition filed by Roger B. Sinnott
for an injunction to restrain Treasurer
Lewis from collecting the penalty.
At the conclusion of the arguments
by Deputy District Attorneys Pierce
nnd Maguire, representing Treasurer
X.ewis, and Attorneys Sinnott and
Adams, Judge Cleeton asked that the
attorneys submit briefs, after the re
ceipt of which he will announce his
decision in the matter. This he hopes
to do, he announced, by the middle of
next week.
Provisions of the new tax law abolish
the old 3 per cent rebate on taxes paid
ibefore March lt, and provide for the
payment of all taxes on or before
March 31. with a penalty of 1 per cent
a month on second half-payment. These
provisions are excessive and oppres
sive. Attorney Sinnott contended in his
complaint on which he asked an in
Junction.
Deputy Pierce read from the tax
records showing that of the $7,139,205.95
n the 1912 tax roll, more than J6.000
000 of this was paid before March IS.
last year, that the 3 per cent rebate
might be taken advantage of. While
first and second payments were but a
little more than $500,000 each, in con
tending that the law requiring full
payment of taxes before March 31 is
not excessive. In opposing the argu
ment that the 1 per cent a month
penalty is excessive, he said that such
an issue is purely a question for the
legislature and not the courts to de
termine.
'"The present tax law is an iniquitous
one." Circuit Judge McGinn said last
Monday in setting aside an injunction
he had granted under a repealed sec
tion of the statutes, "but I am helpless
to correct it. We must bear it as we
would any other calamity, such as
plague, fire, flood or drouth. It could
be corrected by a special session of the
legislature, and I think conditions
might warrant the calling of a special
session, but I cannot interfere in this
court."
Judge McGinn made his ruling when.
as Presiding Judge, Attorney Sinnott
asked him for an injunction. After re
lief had been refused by Judge McGinn,
the case was assigned in its regular
order to Judge Cleeton, before whom
arguments were made yesterday. .

SALEM, Or., March 13. (Special.)
Request was made of the Sta'te Rail
road Commission by the Mount Hood
Railway today that it not be compelled
to fence a part of its line in the Hood

The contention was that there was

Captain Swensen, master of the

arrived late last night 66 days from
Antofagasta, reports an exceedingly
tedious trip. He says his hard luck
ibegan on leaving port and continued
until three days before reaching the
Columbia.
The Nottingham was towed out of
'Antofagasta at night, but almost im

miles, and the vessel was 30 days in
crossing the line.

two degrees south and held them until

a westerly gale, that continued for two

vessel she was under full sail and the

snap.- On last Tuesday when in 36
degrees north, the Nottingham picked
up a fair wind and made the run to
the Columbia in three days. The

The damaged steamer Cricket was
shifted yesterday from the lower part
of the harbor to Couch-street dock,
where steam was got up on her donkey
boiler and the bold pumped out. The
owner of the vessel, Fred Lindeman, is
expected to arrive today from San
Francisco.
On the Royal Mail liner Glenroy,
lying; at the North Bank dock, it was
decided to discharge the port coal
bunkers to ascertain how seriously
plates were damaged inside.
Captain L. Veysey, Lloyd's surveyor,
was joined by Captain William H. Lo
gan, of Victoria, B. C, surveyor for
the London Salvage Association. It was
ordered that debris from Thursday's
fire be cleared from the decks, and
blistered plates on the port side of the
hull were cleaned. The damage was
found to be more severe than was ap
parent Thursday afternoon, when Cap
tain Veysey made an inspection. As
there was a small fire started in the
bunkers from burning and inflammable
stuff falling into the hatches, consid
erable water found its way there, and
because of the danger of coal heating
and also owing to the full damage to
the plates not being apparent, it was
determined to empty the bunkers.
Wheat, flour and other cargo in the
hold of the Glenroy that was injured
by water Is to be discharged, but Cap
tain Veysey said at night specifications
covering repairs would not be ready
until next week, and how far they will
go depends on the extent of repairs
to be made here, so she can proceed to
London.
Captain w. C. McNaught. surveyor
for the San Francisco Board of Marine
Underwriters, says that the cargo of
the Cricket will be unloaded today, so
a complete survey may be made of th
insider of her plates and the entire hold.
Her boilers and other gear in the en
gine-room suffered none from the fire
MILjO guards halt officers
Colonel McKinstry Finds Prospective
Purchase Well Protected.
When Lieutenant-Colonel McKinstry,
Corps of Engineers, U. S. A., and E. B.
Thomson, assistant engineer, sought to
walk the length of the Oregon City
ocks yesterday they found a military
establishment in a measure, for guards
intercepted them and challenged their
right to be on the premises.
At Post No. 1, where the first guard
walked his beat, the district engineers
were promptly halted and explanations
availed them nothing until the sentry
communicated with headquarters by
telephone, when they were permitted
to proceed, but a second guard de
manded credentials and one of the
papermill officers escorted them
through the lines, while yet a third
watchman -had to be satisfied before
they continued. The guard line is the
result of recent labor troubles at the
plants at the Willamette Falls.
Nothing official has been heard from
Washington as to the status of papers
baaring on the purchase of the locks
and canal by the Government, but It
is assumed the matter will be dis
posed of shortly, so Colonel McKinstry
desired to familiarize himself with the
property. It is admitted there will be
an engineering problem to solve when
overhauling work is started, so the de
lay to steamers will be reduced to a
minimum.

Limitations of Harbor Vessel
- Handicap Patrol at Fire.
LARGER CRAFT IS WANTED
Boat With Pump to Throw 1
Inch Stream Could Have Made
Possible Shifting Glenroy Out
of Danger, Marine Men Say..
Handicaps due to the limited size
and power of the harbor launch con
tended with by the harbor patrol
Thursday during the fire that de
stroyed Columbia Dock No. 2 and Mont
gomedy Dock No. 1 and damaged the
steamers Cricket and Glenroy have
prompted marinemen to start a move
ment for a larger vessel with a pow
erful engine and independent pump.
The present launch is 37 feet long,
has a beam of seven feet and engine
of 40 horsepower. It has been sug-
ested that a boat about 75 feet long
and a beam of 12 feet be built, the
engine to be of 125 horsepower. With
such a launch it is said a speed of
about 14 miles could be made and her
length would provide plenty of deck
space for a number of men to work
at a fire, either in rescuing persons,
such as was the case Thursday, or in
handling hose as an assistance to fire
men when close to docks. A Dean or
12 feet would admit of runways on
either side of the house where men
could get a foothold in similar work.
Had the harbor launch a pump capa
ble of throwing a l6-inch stream it
is pointed out that at the big dock
fire she could have kept water on
he lines of the Glenroy so they could
have been cut and the ship shifted
nto the stream and such blazes as
menaced the face of Montgomery
Dock No. 2 for a time she could have
disposed of easily.
The cost of a new launch probably
would approximate JSOOO and as cash
yffers have been made for the pres-
nt boat, which is desired for cruis-
n k rjurijoses in the river, only part of
that required for a larger boat would
lave to be appropriated.

Having passed her first Government
inspection, the . gasoline propeller Efih
is ready for her maiden voyage from
