PAYMENT DUE TODAY
Every Resident of Oregon Con
tributes to War Tax.
COLLECTOR BUSY ALREADY
Green and Pink Stamps Obtainable
Only at Internal Revenue Of
fice All Legal Documents
Assessed by Law.
Oregon begins this morning to pay
Its share of the war tax.
No resident of the state is too hum
ble to escape his Just share of the
assessment.
Beginning with the bankers and end
ing with the street urchin who spends
a penny for chewing gum, every in
dividual in the stats Is contributing a
part to make up tne S100, 000.000 defi
cit that the Government is facing on
account of the sudden decrease of im
ports due to the European war.
That is the official explanation of
the war tax decrease in imports. Po
litical opponents of the present Ad
ministration declare it is due to re
duction In the tariff coupled w.th
Xemocratic extravagance.
The office of Milton A. Muller, Col
lector of Internal Revenue, is being
flooded with cash, currency and checks
in exchange for little green or pink
.stamps that attest the fact that their
owners have paid the war tax. Mr.
Miller is in charge of tax collections
in Oregon. It is the duty of him and
his deputies to see that no person in
the state escapes.
Banks Pay Quickly.
Banks will be required to pay II for
every $1000 of capital, surplus and
undivided profit usod in their busi
ness during the fiscal year ended June
30, 1914. Almost all the banks in
Oregon already have made their re
mittances. Similar certificates are Issued to pool
and billiard hall and bowling alley
proprietors, who pay $5 a year for
every table or alley.
Dealers In tobacco whose annual
sales for cigars. Cigarettes, snuff and
tobacco exceed $200 must pay $4.80
a year.
It Is probable that a large number of
tobacco stands operated in connection
with barber shops, saloons and grocery
stores will escape the tax on the plea
that their annual receipts are less than
$200.
Cigar manufacturers must pay at
the following rates: If annual sales
are not over 100,000 cigars. $3; if
annual sales are between 100.000 and
200.000 cigars. $6; if annual sales are
from 200.000 to 400.000. $12: if annual
sales are from 400.000 to 1.000.000. $30.
As the annual sales are computed for
the fiscal year ended June 30. pro
portionate taxes are charged for the
period beginning November 1 and end
ing' next June 30. Tobacco manufac
turers pay $6 for every 100,00 pounds
of tobacco manufactured.
Gum Tax I A Cent.
The new law prescribes a tax of 4
cents for every $1 box of chewing gum
sold. The Portland office of the in
ternal revenue department, not having
a supply of 4-cent proprietary stamps,
combinations of stamps of other de
nominations will be used.
- Another place where the tax bits
the ordinary mortal is at the moving
picture theaters.
Theaters that seat fewer than 250
persons will pay $25 a year; from 250
to 500 the charge is $50; from BOO to
S00. it is $75 and above 800 it is $100.
Liquor Also Taxed.
The rate on all still wines is 2 cents
a quart; on champagne. 20 cents a
quart; on other sparkling and arti
ficially carbonated wines, 20 cents a
quart; on cordials and similar com

Wholesale Liquor Dealers in Seattle
Plaintiffs in Action to Halt
Issue of Prohibition Edict.
Argument Up Today.
OLTMPIA, Wash.. Nov. 30. The first
attack on the state-wide prohibition
law adopted by the voters of Washing
ton at the recent election was begun
tonight, when counsel for M. and K.
Gottatein, wholesale liquor dealers of
Seattle, appeared at a night session of
the Thurston County Superior Court
and obtained a temporary writ of pro
hibition restraining the Governor from
proclaiming the bill as a law.
The writ was made returnable to
morrow afternoon.
Besides seeking to prevent Governor
Lister from proclaiming the law, the
petition also seeks to restrain Secre
tary of State Howell from announcing
the result of the Prohibition vote cast
November 3. When the case comes up
tomorrow arguments will be heard on
the question of making the writ of
prohibition permanent. Consel for the
petitioners announced that in case the
court decided against them they will
ask for a writ showing they have pro
tected their legal rights so they can
proceed with further litigation.
- The petition filed tonight attacks not
only the prohibition law. but also the
initiative amendment to the State Con
sltutlon, under which prohibition was
submitted to the voters. It is alleged
that the Initiative amendment, which
was adopted in 1912, is Invalid be
cause It was Improperly submitted, not
having been inscribed In the Senate
iournal and not having been published
in every county in the state the re
quired number of days before the 1912
election. The validity of the amend
ment as affected by the failure of the
Senate clerks to enter It in the Journal
has already been decided favorably to
the amendment by the State Supreme
Court, but the question of legal pub
lication prior to the election has not
been passed on.
The prohibition law itself is attacked
on general constitutional grounds as a
violation of personal liberty and prop
erty rights and Interference with inter
state commerce and also on the ground
that it was improperly submitted.
In this connection the petitioners
allege that the law Is illegal because
the so-called "pink pamphlet," pub
lished by the state to inform the voters
concerning the initiative proposition,
was not mailed to every registered
voter within the time fixed by law.
LIBRARY LEVY ADOPTED
Advisory Committee Favors .45-31111
Assessment.
The advisory county budget commit
tee last night decided to recommend
that a levy of 45-100 of a mill be levied
for the County FTiblic Library.
This is a levy equal to that made
last' year on an assessed valuation of
$341,000, producing $167,500. However,
the assessed valuation this year for
1915 taxes is $335,000,000, if approved
by the Commissioners, and the levy will
produce $150,750.
Xhe only other recommendation was
that one of the two Albina ferries be
discontinued. Commissioner Lightner,
who participated In the meetings' dis
cussions, agreed that this should be
done.
There was much discussion of the
levy necessary for the Columbia River
Highway, but no definite action was
taken.
It was the consensus of committee
opinion that the tax levy for the high
way should not be more than sufficient
to finish the grading, making a road
suitable for travel In the Summer
months, and leaving the question of
whether or not the highway shall be
hard surfaced to a bond Issue to be sub
mitted -to the people.
Commissioner-elect Holbrook gave
his estimate of the 'amount of money
needed for roads In Multnomah County,
both for new roads and maintenance of
present roads, aside from the Columbia,
River Highway, at $250,000.
Mr. Holbrook suggested that the
highway, pending a bond issue for hard
surfacing, should be finished in asphalt
macadam, which, he said, would be
durable until such time as the road can
be hard surfaced.
Roadmaster Yeon disagreed with this
view, saying that he believed the high
way should simply be graded and pre
pared for hard surface pending the
passage of the bond issue.
The committee adjourned until Thurs
day night, when it expects to get all its
recommendations In tentative form to
be approved at another meeting.
Hearing? Granted Cohen.
TACOMA. Wash.. Nov. 30. (Special.)
Max G. Cohen, former Portland at
torney, sent to the McNeil Island peni
tentiary for subornation of perjury,
will be granted a hearing in the Fed
eral Court December 7.
An order to that effect was Issued
yesterday by Federal Judge Cushman
in connection with Cohen's application
for a writ of habeas corpus.
