' - .T Washington; April 5. (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." -
