"Baker county vs. Benson, 40 Oregon, 187, holding a law to annex a part of one county to another Is a local law. "As to creating an Indebtedness Irf ex cess of the amount specified by the con stitution. In Bricks vs. Clatsop county, 4$ Oregon, page 223, the court says: "Stripped of all subterfuge, tho act of the legislature authorizing the de fendant county to levv a special tax for courthouse purposes and contract made by It In pursuance thereof are an at tempt to permit the county, although al ready In debt largely beyond the consti tutional limit, to Impose an additional Indebtedness of over $100,000 upon Its taxpayers by attempting to make a dis tinction between the countv as a corpor ative entity and the Individual taxpay ers. If this may be done for the con struction of a courthouse, it may be done for highways, bridges, poor farms, hospitals, .lails and the like corporate ex penses, and the property of the taxpay ers may thus be burdened for years to come, contrary to the provisions and spirit of the constitution. The Taxpayer's Position. "ft would not be particular com forting to a taxpayer so situated to be told, while groaning under such spe cial levies, extending hepelesaly iato the future, that he could congratulate him self that he lived In a county which was not indebted more than $5000. The reasoning which results in such con struction Is to us unsound. The con Rtitution was intended to protect tho taxpayers. Its language Is plain and unambiguous and the court Is not Jus titled in giving it a strained or astute Interpretation to avoid Individual or lo cal hardships. "Learned counsel argue that the case at bar Is not on alk fours with Max well vs. Tillamook county cited above. Comparison of Two Acts.' "Let us compare the two acts. In the Tillamook act 110.000 was appropri ated to aid the county In constructing a public highway along the coast for prob ably 80 miles or more. $1000 of which was to be used for a branch road-leading from Netarts bay to near Tillamook Ciiy.
