(WASHING TON BUREAU.; OF THE JOURNAL) -VThe supreme cQ'jrt,' after a recess of two weeks to consider cases argued ' befote It, will reconvene April 9 to hand down opinions which have been arreed- npon. The Oregon & Callfor - ' nla land grant case. is one of those s upon which attention is centered, and no. surprise will oe created If It is , heard from at that time. -' - It la assumed that, the decision will be written by Justice McKenna. who wrote the previous opinion when the case was before the supreme -court, j Oregon forms a. part of the circuit for which he is appointed, and the' case is territorially one that Justice McKenna is entitled to handle, Procedure Is Clear. " If the court sustains .the Chamberlain-Ferris act the long battle will be practically ' over. , The interior de , partment will proceed without delay : to pay up the taxes, complete the - rlascif lea t ion of the lands, throw open the agricultural tracts, and -other-f , wire -administer the act. 'If the court frowns upon the act , passed by congress there will be a new state of confusion, unless the i court should go ahead and clearly j ' define the powers of congress in i f dealincr with the gTunt. The conf u-! eion will be little less acute if the i court should decline to pass upon the i , validity of the act. However, in pass- ! Ing on the questions presented on the : record from the court of appeals, the ; - court can hardly fail to decide some j df the principles upon which congress - based its action. . j What of Bean Bill? j -, With the principle of the Ghamber-uJn-Ferris act sustained, as the gov- ' '. eminent counsel believe it will be ' ' Q1 o the Baain bill, passed by the ! Oregon v- legislature, which directs! county assessors to place the grant I lands on the tax roll? Apparently1 the supreme court has already fairly Well answered that question. j One of the. cases mentioned with . approval by the supreme court in Its opinipn in the Utah water power cases ! l was Van. Brocklin vs. Tennessee. It! f happens that this case deals with thai question of the right ot a state to tax ; lands where title la held by the United I btates. It ,1a found in 117 U. B re ports, page ; 151, , 'w, j 2 The .opinion was written by Jus- 3 tie Grfty in 1886. Tennessee had at-' tempted to tax certain " lots held by ; he federal governmetft in a suburb i of Memphis. The government bad ac 3ired the property by buying it in at I , tax sale, the direct tax" laid upon ; the owners by- the United states in ) , 18b2 not having been paid. The fed- erai government held the land about M years before it was finally re deemed. ! . . Ontt of the questions considered In . the, lower courts was whether the con . stltutlon and laws of Tennessee gave the state the right to tax property "y i urmea Htates where ex-; elusive Jurisdiction had hot been ced--' - d away to the state. The supreme , ' court said this was immaterial because ! "this court is of the opinion that , njther'the people nor the legislature of Tennessee hAs the power, by con-! ei.iunon or statute, to tax the land in question, so long as the title re mained in the United Suites." i.:,fe,s, M. Coaolusioa Zs 'Quoted. - Tn the concluding part pf his opin - Ion, Justice Oray said: " "The imposition of direct tm.. n the land was a lawful exercise of the power conferred by the constitution to lay; and .collect taxes. The pro- ' Visions authorizing the United States to sell the land for non-payment of -the taxes thereon, and o purchase the .land for the amount of the taxes if no one would bid a higher price. 1 were necessary and proper means for ' ---carrying Into effect the power to lay'' . and collect taxes; and so were the ' .--provisions authorizing the United ' Stttes afterwards, to sell the land to1 , apply the proceeds to the payment of j me taxes, ana to hold any surplus for the benefit ,of the former owner . t "While the United States owned the land struck off to: them for the amount of the; taxes because no one would, pay more, for It, and until It was sold by the .United States for a - greater price , or was redeemed by the former owner, the. United States held the entire title as security for the payment of the taxes: and it . , could not be known how muclu if. any thing, beyond the amount of the taxes the land was worth, 5 ' i Conflict Would Bssult. 1 "To allow land, lawfully held by ; the United States as security for the .payment of taxes assessed by and dne to them, to be assessed and sold for " state taxes, would tend to create a conflict between the officers of the - two governments, to deprive the ' United States of a title lawfully ac- QUired under exnreu art. tt ' and to defeat the exercise of the con-! siuuuonaj power to iay and collect j taxes, to pay the debts and provide! , , for the common defense and general , welfare of the United States, il ' ' Tax Zs Uncollectible. . Th question whether the' taxes - ,, laid under authority of the state : (Tennessee) can be collected In this i , suit depends upon the Question h.fs. r they were lawfully assessed. But . mum useasmcnia were -unlawful. ' -because made while the land was! owned by the United States. The as- ; sesaments, being unlawful created no Ilea upon the land. Those taxes there- I fore, cannot be collected, even since the plaintiffs In error hav , or purchased tba land from, the United - Btates." - i Kaskella Job Seeks an. ' " Washington, AprU 6.
