STATE TAX
; FAILS TO AGREE
Lachner Will File Minority Report
... Against the . Findings - of .
the Other Members.
(Sped! Oispstek te lbs IsaraaL)
. , Salem, June 18. Rumor has It there
. will be something doing when the report
' of th state tax commission Is filed next
! Monday with th secretary of state. It
aeems that all the members of th oom-
, mission agree on every other particular
, at Importance except -In the method of
- .apportioning th Stat tax. Chairman
Mulkey of Portland and Mr. Seabrooke
of Marabflald will Ills a majority report
And the third member, William J. latch
ner of Baker City, will probably file a
minority report.
On th statute book there is a law
Which does not go Into effect until IV 10
and which bases the apportionment of
the state taxes on th expenses for
state purposes of th various counties.
To th majority ' report la attached a
- bill which -the next legislature will be
asked to pass and which embodies th
am system contained In tha 1010 law,
which if enacted, will go Into ef foot In
108. Tha report to be presented by the
, Baker City member of the commission
-is said to walv minor issue and. to
. touch only on th, question of Stat
taxes.
The tenor of th report Is to the ef
fect that all taxes shall be raised on real
' property nd wjeraonal property and
property rights and that the apportion
ment shall be based on th valuation
and not on th expenditures. - Mr. lAch
ner la of th opinion that th report of
, th majority does not. present a practi
cal view and that th system of basing
apportionment on expenditures haa
. never been tested In any state or eoun
try. Mr. Lachner contend that whll
the 111 law was drafted for the pur
pose of equalising assessments, It will
. be just a easy for county courts that
desire to tak unfair advantag In th
matter of payios atat taxes, to manipu
late the figure as It la for th assessor
to present a valuation . that 1 too low.
Th matter Is one that will doubtless
attract the attention of the legislature
