TAXES ILLEGAL
Oregon Supreme Court Deci
sion Will Affect Many
Districts.
ROSE1WRO, Ore., Feb. 21. A
very important decision, nnd ono
that will have the effect of reducing
tho amount of money to bo spent on
the roads of Douglas County by
about $72,000 was handed down by
tho Oregon Supreme Court on Feb
ruary 10, when tho high tribunal
held that all special road taxes levied
throughout the state during tho years
1910, 1011 and 1012 woro Illegal
nnd could not bo collected. Accord
ing to the decision, tho supremo
court found tho law governing tho
lovylng of special road taxes uncon
stitutional, and without effect.
Tho original law giving tho voters
of the county, or road districts the
right to levy special road taxes was
passed by the stato legislature In the
year l!)0:i. and upon being submit
ted to tho supremo court was held
constitutional. In tho year 1000.
howovcr, the bill, or law was amend
ed, and to Biieh an extent that It was
rendered unconstitutional. The chief
grounds on which tho special road
tax law was declared unconstitution
al by tho supieme court was that It
failed to designate tho qualifications
of n voter. In fact, the amendment
so ('Imaged the original taw that It
road to tho effect that the taxpayers
In any county In the stato might
vote a special tax for road purposes.
Tho amended law made no reference,
whatovcr, to tho qualifications of a
voter simply being to the effect that
tho tnxpnycrs were eligible to vote.
In Interpreting tho law tho supremo
court hold that Inasmuch as many
non-residents of tho stato owned nnd
paid taxes on lauds In tho several
countloB they would hnvo a perfect
right to vote nt tho special road elec
tions under tho terms of tho 1000
act. Tho law utterly failed to doslg
nato tho qualifications of a voter and
inndo no rofcrenco to age, sex or resi
dence of the porson desiring to vote.
Tho Bpoclal road lovles through
out Douglns County for tho year
1012 range from ono to ten mills,
and would hnvo raised approximately
$72,000, This sum, under tho tonus
of tho ruling of tho Oregon supremo
court cannot be collected.
