LEVY IS HELD NOT DOUBLE State Law Providing That Cities Shall Adopt County Assessors' Lists Xot Intended to Cur. K tail Revenue, Is View. SALEM. Or.. July 20. (Special.) The Supreme Court today. In an opin ion by Justice Burnett, upheld, an or dinance enacted by the residents of Portland in 1911 providing for the levy ing of a license tax on the "gross re ceipts of persons and. corporations sell ing gas, natural or manufactured, for lighting, heating, fuel, or other com mercial purposes' The Portland Gas & Coke Company declined to pay the tax. 3 per cent of gross receipts, de claring mat it was an attempt at flouoie taxation. Circuit Judge Gatens sustaining its oemurrer to the com plaint. Its franchise haviner been taxed as real property, the defendant averred that it could not be subject to another tax. ine opinion says: lhe sate law providing that the work of the County Assessor in list ing property shall be adopted by a city s a oasis upon which to collect its tax refers only to assessable things to be taxed according to their value. It does not treat of a tax upon privileges muepenaent or tanglDle property. Revenue la Object of Tax. It was not the intention of the Legislative Assembly to cut off all sources of revenue from municipalities except an ad valorem tax. . . . "Stripped of the euphemism of license tne ordinance in question must be con "eu as attempting to levy an oc cupation tax upon all persons and cor porations engaged in business of sell ing or furnishing gas within the City or Portland. Confessedly the object vi me city legislation was to provide aauitionai revenue. It does not at tempt any regulation whatever on the manner in which the business shall be conducted. Authority was given the municipality by its charter to grant licenses with the object of raising revenue, xnis amounts to nothing dif ferent from saying it had a right to impose an occupation tax. ... Tax Held Permissible. "The right of the defendant cor poration to do business at all in the city is referable to the franchise to be a corporation, for, without that portion of its grant giving it Identity as an artificial being. It could not en- rraga in any transaction whatever. It s quite as permissible to impose an occupation tax upon this con ventional personage for the privi lege of doing business in the city as it is upon a natural individual engaged 'in the same or similar enterprise." i i 1 - ll r-wrV;Mff.f-i V-VCITTTTg I 111 , 71 a DOnd Of I2D.000 in connection with the lease of Summer and Abert Lakes.
