Judge Sltattuok has passed upon
the matter of the mandamus proceed
ings against the treasurer of Mult
nomah county, and intimated that a
peremptory writ should issue; but on
the representations of Judge Whalen.
attorney for the county treasurer,
that there was not money enough on
hand to pay warrants, allowed time
for an amended answer to be tiled,
hi this condition the case now stands.
Reviewing the case, the court said
that tiie petitioner represents there
are large sums of money in the
county treasury applicable to ordi
wry debts and expenses. The
treasurer admits this condition of
things, excepting the fact that these
sums of money are there: he denies
the application of the rule which pe
titioner evokes with regard to the
distribution of money, and he denies
the writ of mandamus and claims the
proper remedy here is an ordinary
action of law b' state authorities
against the count- treasurer or the
county of Multnomah, or the appli
cation of another remedy allowed by
the statute, which is if the treasurer
tloes uot .pay over state money, he is
subject to penalty and forfeiture,
and if he continue in error on this
subject, he may be expelled from
office.
uThis case has been very exten
sively , discussed by counsel," re
marked .Judge Shattuek. "The ar
guments have been profuse and
labored, but the- fail to satisfy me
that the position taken by the re
spondent is coriect. The whole
matter, it seems to me, turns upon
the instruction of section of the
statute, and that section provides in'
these words: 'On or befoie the first i
Monday in February in each year the
several county treasurers of this
state shall pay over to the state
treasurer in gold and silver coin the
amount of the state tax charged to
their respective counties, which tax
shall be paid out of the first of such
111011036 collected and paid to the
county treasurer.' It is claimed that
this statute means that the first money
that come1? into the count treasury
shall be applied to the demands of
the state or state debts its apportion
to the county, and no contradictory
authority Las been cited for a stat
ute like this."
There is nothing in the statue, the
court said, that goes outside of the
ordinary parlance, ordinar' speech
of the people, and it is to be ordna- 1
rily accepted exactly according to j
its terms, and the provision and ap- j
plication of its principle made ac
coidingly. "If you leave out two words from :
this section, you have exactly tlio
position which the defendant Jloyt,
treasurer, claims is controlling him.
Leaving out the words -of sucIl,' and
there is in the statute, as is claimed
by the respondent here. Should
these words be left out? Why
should they be left out of the stat
nte? It looks as if thero was a do
sign on the part of the legislature to
have this statute construed as the , , -, ,
petitioners claim it should be. TI,ejmmtG ware- a,ld 11 -rGat (lwU
effect of leaving out these two words j cheapen1 than the aluminum
would justify the other construction j . .,,
alleged here, that all money due the ! WU1V aml Potior than oitlior
state ought to be paid out of the first ' of them. Call anil HGO tho
money befoi e any other demand is ' -, ,
, ' 41 i goods at
satisfied. It seems to mo the con-1 a
slruction of the statute is that the
money's paid into the respective
funds, uot into the general fund of
the county."
Judge .Shattuek says the statute
I means ".flint itsstys, and s:iys what it1
I means; but that what it says ami
what it meaii!! is that ollicers ami
! courts need not oboy its plain com
mands. The words "of such" arc
what Judge ShuttucU hangs his do-
icision on; but where he makes the
distinction and difference between j
the sentence with those words in or
out is a profound nivstciy. The.
truth seems to be that the county
needs the money, and the judge
wants the county to have the use of
it. That, and that only, is the law '
and the gospel of the case. :
The city council of Forest drove
recently passed an ordinance taxing
all business pursuits. We note that'
the council showed rare discern- !
. . i
ment in classuying the subjects.
What more appropriate classification
for instance, could have been made
than "hardware men, dentists, butch
ers and doctors," all of whom must
pay 10 per year? What neater ar
rangement than that of barbers and
printers, both of which trades have
to sci ape for a living, and pay S(!
for the privilege? And what more
natuial association than lawyers and
town cows, each of which must pay
S i per year for the privilege cf run
ning at large. The Forest (trove
council understands its business, as
wen as oiner peoples.
It is stated that Jonathan liournc
has gone Fust to live, and will never
return. There could be but one
more cheerful piece of news, and
that would be that he had gone East
to die. In Australia, many years
ago, a play was written entitled "A
Ticket of Leave Man," and the pro
logue was written by a convict, who,
commenting on the population of
Australia, wrote those famous linos:
