"Second: That the writ does not
.state facts sufficient to constitute a
: cause of action."
One of the main contentions of the
plaintiff is that the system virtually
: means "public aid for private gain."
Quoting from the plaintiffs brief,
: the argument, in part, follows:
,'. "Multnomah county lias not, neither
has any other county In the state of
Oregon, any authority whatsoever on
its own action, nor can it be given au-
.. thorlty by tbe legislature to do what
Is being done under the act of the leg
islature In question, section 9, article
. 31 of the constitution of the state of
- Oregon provides:
Went Beyond Its Power.
"'No county, city, town or other
'municipal corporation, by vote of its
citlsens, or otherwise, shall become a
'Stock holder In any Joint stock com
pany, corporation or association what
' ever, or raise money for, or loan its
credit to, or in aid of any such com-
: pany, corportlon or association.'
. "By the above provision of the con-
-: atltutlon it will he observed that coun
: ties In this state cannot by vote of their
citizens or otherwise raise money for
or loan its credit to or in aid of any
such company, corporation or aesoci-v
.. tlon meaning any joint stock company,
corporation or association such as the
Multnomah .aw library ia confessed
; cy this demurrer to be.
'Here is nn act which requires par
- ties to actions, suits or proceedings,
either plaintiff or defendant to pay to
the county clerk for the use of the li
brary of this corporation $17.40 daily.
V whereas, under the provision of the
r statute here In question opening the
said library to the six judges of the
: circuit court and to the three county
commissioners and to the district at-
r torney's office, being approximately 20
0" 3 persons all told, this library as
: soclation would receive from these
f men, If they paid for the use of the
library on the same basis as is charged
to an equal number of lawyers in the
city of Portland, to-wlt: $2 per an
- num each, the library would receive
$40 or $50 for this same service which
, It now receives $17.50 per day or
.$452.79 per month and for the year
..-ending September 1. 1 9 IB, the sum of
$5463.50. Yet In the face of this rec
ord It will be contended that the con-
Stitutlonal provision is not violated.
Condition Wot Amazing.
"However, this condition Is not
' amazing to the plaintiff, being made
. by, the defendant for the reason that
' the defendant, being of a quality that
would cause an act of this kind to be
pushed through the legislature, would
also' take from Multnomah county for
. the use by the 20 or 25 men to whom
the library door is thrown open, the
, sum. of $5454.50 per annum, being en
titled to only $40 or $50 for the service.
t.VPaslng to the next point, the
plaintiff contends that this tax or
fee, whichever it may be called. Is
Imposed and collected for a private
and not a public purpose. He con-
- tends that said Multnomah law library
la a private corporation, and is con
ducting said library as a private en
terprise in Multnomah colinty, Oregon;
that the members of the bar of Mult-
.nomah county. Oregon, are charged u
membership fee for the use of the
books in said library which must be
paid before the use of said library is
- available to them, and to such mem-
bets of said bar as do not pay said
