PETITIONS OUT FOR
CURBING TAX POWER
State and County Ak to be Meld
Down to Six I'er Cent. Increase
STATE TAX LFAOUf! IS CIRCULATING
Committee Stndi Out Statement of Pur
pone of Amendment
The State Tax League has been
circulating petitions for a con
stitutional amendment to be
voted on this Fall, regulating
taxation, both by .county, state,
ports, etc., and the provisions
are to be that no increase from
year to year can go over six per
cent, of an increase of the next
prior year's levies. The league
sends out the following analysis
of the amendment asked:
"The purpose of the state-wide
tax limitation amendment is to
limit taxation to increase if not
exceed six per cent a year unless
a greater increase is authorized
by the people of the taxing dis
trict which desires to make this
greater increase. It does not
imitthe right of the people them
selves to levy taxes or issue bonds
but taxing wards cannot increase
taxation faster than six percent,
a year unless authorized to do so
by the people who must pay the
increased taxes.
No matter how fast assessed
values increase, taxes can only in
crease six per cent The amend
ment is not a millage limitation
but a limit on what taxing officials
can collect in dollars and cents.
The amendment limits the tax
ing powerof the legislature, every
County Court every Port District
and every City Council. It is not
a limitation on school taxes or
Bpecial road taxes as such taxes
are levied directly by the people
themselves. It will, however
have this effect upon special
school and special road taxes;
when an increase of over six per
cent is wanted this fact must be
specifically stated in the call of
the taxpayers meeting. This
will srtve notice that a large in
crease is intended and the tax
payers will-have an opportunity
to investigate before the meet
ing and if they feel the increase
is unnecessary they can be at
the meeting and yote against it

Ervine Burkhalter. of South
Tualatin, was here Monday. He
says that many farmers had hay
down in the wet of the past
week, and a great deal of the
crop was injured by the moisture.
T, DeLine, of Beaverton, was
given the first prize for the best
Children's Day stall at the Port
land East Side public market
for the best all-around display of
country products. , Wilson Ben-
fiel, well known in north Wash
ington County was one of the
judges of the displays.
CliiTord Long, who is working
for the Chicago, Milwaukie &
St Paul, near Missoula, Mont,
writes that it snowed in the
mountains up there the first of

with the work of the engineering

down this way appears to stand
well by comparison, eh?
The Oswego Times says that a
sentiment is crystallizing to cut
off the Western portion of Clack
amas County and join it either
with Multnomah or Washington
County, as the people are not
satisfied with the treatment ac
corded them from the Clackamas
administrations. The Times says
that with many it is declared
that joining with either Wash
ington or Multnomah wouid be
preferable to present treatment.
Rail communications with both
Portland and Hillsbirj is good
enough for them.

The blaze was first discovered
nar the center of the structure,
and before any effective fire
fighting could be accomplished it
had spread over the entire mill.

company has sustained by fire
within the Ust year, their big
