"One of the papers said editorially a

A premise was assumed there which is
absolutely impossible to sustain. Our

City Attorney W. P. LaRoche has pre
pared the following statement of the
workings of the charter amendment pro
viding for collection of dellncpient bond
ed assessments, in answer to published
criticism :
A strong objection has been urged by
a citizen of Portland, for whom I have
the highest regard, against the proposed
charter amenament providing an aaai-
t onal method for the collection or ne-
linquent bonded assessments, based prin
cipally on two grounds: (1) That the
lots owned by the corporations wnicn
are in fault are without value, as they
are in gulches and starid on end and are
rocky; (2) That the stockholders of
these corporations are personally liable
for the unpaid bonded assessments.
My information as to the first point la
that 75 per cent of the property of these
corrjorations nossesses an inherent mar
ket value, in normal times, in excess of
the bonded liens. As to the second point
the personal liability of the stockhold
ers of the corporations, which became
the owners of the tracts that subdivided
and Improved the Individual members
became stockholders In these corpora
tions for the purpose of limiting their
liability.
Provisions of Bancroft Act
When an application is made to bond
an assessment for an improvement un
der the Bancroft bonding- act, this ap
plication contains the statement that the
applicant will pay the amount of the as
sessment In ten equal, annual install
ments, etc., and the claim that there ta
a personal liability Is based on this ap
plication. The application, however,
when accepted, results in the Imposition
of a lien against the property itself, and
safeguards as to the value of the prop
erty are found in the Bancroft bonding
act, the theory of which was to look to
the absolute security of the property
for, by the terms of the act an improve
ment could not be bonded if a certain
value was not fourtd In the property.
Until this Question of personal liability
shall have been determined by our su
preme court, it will, remain a doubtful
question. But. granting, for the sake of
argument, that there Is a personal lia
bility, upon whom does that rest? Plain
ly against the corporation as an entity.
But the thought In the mind of the ob
jector is that a personal liability can be
enforced against the stockholders of the
corporation.
Corporation Held Liable
- As to this, there are probably only
two circumstances In which a stockhold
er can be held to a personal accounting :
(1) Where he has subscribed for stock
in the corporation and has failed .to pay
In full for the stock. - This failure may
Washington, May 11. The war tax
bill, when submitted to congress, will
"go the .limit' in taxing. war profits, it
was learned tonight on high authority.
It will put a definite limit on war
profits." Everything above this limit is
to go to the government, according to
well-informed sources. It is hoped to
make It the last tax bill of the war.
Appeals to President Wilson, contem
plated by congressional leaders who 'op
pose tax legislation at this session, will
not stave off the bill. The president
Is understood to have told congressional
leaders that revenue legislation must be
passed now.
Secretary McAdoo la prepared to prove
to Senator Simmons, senate finance
committee chairman, and Chairman
Kitchin of the house ways and means
committee that the bill Is imperative.
Arrangements have been made for a
conference at the White House next
week with certain members of congress
to discuss this legislation.
Both congress and the treasury de
partment are being bombarded daily
with protests and appeals against tax
changes. Business appears to be gen
uinely alarmed, congressmen say.
Not the least of the loud protests Is
coming from the cotton Interests. Word
has gone out that cotton can no longer
be exempted from heavy war taxation.
Representative Garner of Texas, Dem
ocratic whip In the house, today opposed
the proposed tax legislation on the
floor of the house.
"We should wait until next fall." said
Garner. Representative Kordney of
Michigan declared "we are taxing our
people too heavily now."

tion based on the theory of a personal

Another Question int-nr! lttf in
this inquiry and that Is, granting that
there is a oersonal ltabilitv on th mart
of a property owner when he or It bonds

method of collecting bonded lien assess

oi our oince ana tne experience of
trained legal minds, employed in col
laboration, regard this enactment, as
not only beneficial but as the only prac
tical solution of what has become the
weakest and most dangerous point In
the city's financial system. The out
standing improvement bonds, it must
not bo forgotten, are ereneral HahiHtina
of the city and some day the city will
be forced to liquidate them, and if it
cannot do so out of the values that are
in tne properties improved and assessed

responsible for the imorovement. the
