Proceedings were filed In the cir cuit court here today by Edward A. Jory, representing the Marion county Taxpayers' league, to enjoin W. I. Needham, sheriff, and other county officials, from collecting taxes alleged to exceed the 6 per cent limitation by approximately 848,000. The taxes involved include $25,470 levied by the -Marion county court for common school purposes. 812.S0O with which to provide a tuition fund, $10,000 for making repairs to the Silverton armory, and approximately $1000 for effecting transfers of school funds in the several districts. Mr. Jory contends that all taxes levied in excess of the 6 per cent I limitation are illegal and that the court was without authority to make the assessment. Local lawyers allege that the suit is not only, intended to nullify the levy of $48,000 made by the court, but is an attack on the validity of cer tain legislative acts upon which the increased assessments were based. These acts, it is said, are all amend ments and sub-amendments to chapter 2o5, of the general laws of Oregon for the year 1915. Mr. Jpry was among the members of the local Taxpayers' league who last Saturday went on record disap proving all miilage taxes to be re ferred to the voters of Oregon at the special election on May 21. cial.)
