He had behind him the formidable array' of figures gathered In conformity with - law by the Interstate commerce com . mission. To appreciate the stupendous significance of them tt may Only be aald, as waa quoted by Senator La Follette, that within the last fire years the tfsm- ber of killed and Injured railroad em , ployes and passengers haa increased .' more than TO per cent.

As all "junk sals' deeds are alike la form, the . decision rendered this morning Is sweeping In' Its effect, ap plying to All deeds given by the county at similar sales. This renders void deeds to more than $1,000,000 worth of property in Multnomah county ,and es tablishes a precedent effecting property all over the state, the value of which la Impossible to determine. In his de cision. Judge Oantenbein aald In part: Under the Oregon law any county Judge or chairman of the board of com missioners ' Is authorised to bid the amount of taxes and costs for which any parcel of land Is offered for sale, and if there be no other bid of such amount, auch land shall-be sold to the county. ' This law does not permit ths county to become a competitive bidder at a tax sale. The Oklahoma supreme court has held that a tax deed must show the conditions surrounding a sale, and the conditions giving a county ths statutory right to purchase at such a sale. . . "In this deed there Is no attempt at a recital showing the absence of other bidders, or that any one -else had an opportunity to bid, or that it waa nec essary for the county to bid the land In because of the absence of other bidders. The deed contains only tha bald statement Theretofore purchased by said county at delinquent tax aa le, and . upon which the A.tme for redemp tion had expired.' 1 Oklahoma has a law very similar to ours, and their court has held such deeds aa thla void, and this court must hold this deed void. , , . .
