This amount is 12,000 greater than the levy last year and $250,000 greater than the lew two years ago. The ln- create this year Is due in part to the holding up of the University of Oregon appropriation bill last year, by reason of which the levy for 1908 was at the rate of $47,600 per year, as provided by laws then In existence.

But since then Hood JRiver county has been carved out of Wasco. The assessed valuation of Wasco county is now $5,927,946 and that of Hood River $2,870,280. Dividing the apportionment accordingly. Wasco's new ratio will be .0168 and that of Hood River .0074. Though there is no law expressly authorizing such an ap portionment, the attorney general x-t presses the opinion that this is equitable and should be adopted. The board will follow his advice. 1 , Each county can ascertain approxi mately the amount of its share of the state taxes for 1909 bv multiply ins: 1.276.000 by Its ratio.
